Quotes:

  • Grandpa: Second shelf is mine. That's where I keep my rootbeers and my double-thick Oreo cookies. Nobody touches the second shelf but me.
     
  • David: What, you don't like rice? Tell me Michael, how could a billion Chinese people be wrong?
     
  • David: How are those maggots?
    Michael: Huh?
    David: Maggots, Michael. You're eating maggots. How do they taste?
     
  • David: Now you know what we are, now you know what you are. You'll never grow old, Michael, and you'll never die. But you must feed!
     
  • Grandpa: Something I never could stomach about Santa Carla, all the damn vampires!
     

Trivia:

  • David is impaled on a pair of antlers and doesn't disintegrate like the other vampires. Despite what Max later says, he is not really dead. This was intended to be picked up in the sequel, which was scripted but never made.
     
  • The title of the film is a reference to the companions of Peter Pan, who remained forever young.
     
  • The movie was originally written as a bunch of "Goonie-type 5th-6th grade kid vampires". Joel Schumacher liked the title but hated the concept, so he changed it.
     
  • The amusement park scenes were filmed at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in California. This is the same park that appeared in Brotherhood of Justice (also starring Kiefer Sutherland.) The Boardwalk was also seen in the Dirty Harry sequel Sudden Impact and Harold and Maude.
     
  • Both Corey Feldman, who plays Edgar Frog, and Barnard Hughes, who plays Grandpa, share the same birthday, July 16th.
