Barnard Hughes Played Grandpa
Barnard Hughes made his acting debut in 1935, making him without a doubt the most well-known cast member of The Lost Boys. Maybe that’s why the movie’s ice-cold ending line was given to the star. “One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach: all the darn vampires,” he says in character as the Emerson brothers’ root beer-loving grandfather. We’re guessing you said it in “grandpa’s” speech.

A Prolific And Successful Career
Nonetheless, The Lost Boys was not the pinnacle of Hughes’ illustrious career. The star was already a hardworking actor before his role in the film, and his resume appears to be on par with “War and Peace” in terms of duration. During his career, he is thought to have acted in about 400 films, television shows, and stage productions. He was also handsomely rewarded, receiving an Emmy and a Tony Award.
