If you're looking for someone to thank for all the cool vampire media we have today, you could do much worse than Joel Schumacher.

Schumacher ushered in a new style of depicting vampires with 1987's The Lost Boys, a cult classic that every person should be legally required to watch when they turn 14. Of course, you could also make the argument that Twilight was a result of the teen-vampire sensation sparked, at least in part, by this movie — but we'll set that aside for now.

If this actor had gotten the role of David instead of Kiefer Sutherland, this would have been a potentially very different movie. Who was also considered for the part?
