YAAAAS. The opening scene of The Lost Boys is etched into the brain of every 80s movie lover and it's rather endearing that Marilyn Manson covered the Gerald McMann soundtrack classic.

First, get to know the backstory on the original via Buzzfeed.

Gerald McMann - who now travels under the moniker of G Tom Mac - revealed that he managed to compose the theme from The Lost Boys, without even enjoying the benefit of screening the movie first, although they did at least send him a copy of the screenplay. "As it turned out, I got inspired by reading the script and the events in my own life and wrote the song," said Mac. "The song was brewing in my head with the choir as a chorus backing me. That all seemed to come within half an hour. Mike Maineri had this hypnotic beat, we refined it together, and my melody and chords melted right into it. Then I wrote the lyrics within an hour or two, recorded the demo, sent it to Joel [Schumacher], two days later got a call from him, ecstatic by the song and saying, "You nailed my theme song to The Lost Boys! I can't believe you wrote this without seeing a frame of film!'

As for Manson's cover, Consequence of Sound says it is supposedly for the 2019 X-Men spinoff, The New Mutants.

My only two critiques:
1. I'd rather a Lost Boys remake than another X-Men installment.
2. Marilyn definitely should have gotten sexy oil-slicked sax cameo icon, Tim Cabello, to perform with him in some capacity. He dropped the ball there.
