I used to watch the lost boys when I was 9 – 10 .
Ah…coralline a great movie but probably shouldn’t have watched it when I was 5
ok I’m looking for a movie made in the 80’s I believe. They had to defeat monsters and maybe a vampire They ran around town trying to kill all of them. I can’t remember but at the end of the movie they needed a virgin to defeat the evil and recite something back. But as it turned out the girl who stepped forward was not a virgin, She made a joke about it not counting. So the boys little sister had to step up and repeat the saying. SOOOO PLEASE HELP
