Corey Haim, circa 1985
We were saddened by the sudden passing of ’80s teen idol Corey Haim earlier today.
Most people will remember Haim as Sam Emerson, the plucky younger brother to Jason Patric‘s Michael in “The Lost Boys,” or as the shy, big-hearted title character in “Lucas.” Indeed, Haim played a significant role in so many people’s childhoods and adolescence due to his frequent appearances in magazines such as Tiger Beat and Seventeen, almost always at the side of his best friend (at the time) Corey Feldman.
Sadly, we were also privy to a recent glimpse at Haim and his struggles with addiction, as well as the strain on his friendship with Feldman, in A&E’s hit reality series “The Two Coreys.”
You can view photos from throughout Haim’s career in our memorial photo gallery. We also have videos from season two’s episodes from “The Two Coreys” linked here.

He will be sadly missed. He never seemed to catch that rising star again. I hope that he is in a better place where he is the star he wanted to be again.

Circa circa circa! Whomever put the pictures up did a terrible job with the captions (no specific years…how can you not have the year an industry photo was taken? Not only that, but the pages load very slow (what with all the advertising). Nice corporate-friendly memoriam there.

Very sad seeing all the kids you grew up with on the big screen now going away,sadly at too young of an age. I’m sure he is finally at the peace he always wanted.

Yes, i was shocked when i heard. At 38 years old, that’s a terrible way to end a life and career that held so much promise.
