What better place then for Hollywood to superimpose the sun-kissed horror paradise and bohemian lifestyle of the fictitious Santa Carla, setting for Joel Schumacher's 1987’s seminal MTV Vampire horror. The movie’s iconic shot of the surfer running out of the sea at dusk towards the safety of home before darkness falls, neatly summed up the danger of the hidden world that existed when the sun set on the Californian idyll.
The movie offered so much more than style, nostalgia, and genre thrills though. At its core, nearly four decades later, Schumacher’s film is a remarkably prescient tale that mines the complexities of brotherhood and teen alienation. The movie’s portrayal of seemingly wayward adolescent sons debuted at a time when many Americans feared the deterioration of traditional dynamics in the home—between parent and child, husband and wife. More so than the other films of its era, it subtly challenged the dominant Reagan era cultural expectations that saw the nuclear family as a social and moral ideal.
