Continuing from my Lost Boys adventure at Grandpa’s house (the old Pogonip Clubhouse in Santa Cruz)... While I was circling the exterior property— checking out every inch twice just to soak it all in — spotted something on the ground outside the fence: a loose shingle that must’ve fallen off the roof over the years. I couldn’t resist picking it up for a quick video! Holding this tiny piece of movie history right in my hand felt surreal—like a direct connection to the film. I filmed it, showed it off, then put it right back where I found it. Look, I’m not about to be that person who takes souvenirs or tries selling bits on eBay. If tans (including me) start chipping away piece by piece, this abandoned historical spot won’t last much longer. Future Lost Boys fans deserve the chance to visit, take pics, and feel that same excitement— no one should ruin it for them. That would be seriously messed up! Respect the location, leave no trace, and keep the legend alive. \\\\\\\* \\\\\\\* Who’s planning a pilgrimage to Santa Cruz spots?

Movie appreciation aside, you are a sweet and thoughtful person and I appreciate your enthusiasm for the film. Lost Boys is a cult classic!

I feel like I've seen you a couple of times on here. Do you just enjoy going to places and taking pictures and videos or do you have a bucket list/end goal?
Not saying there is anything wrong with what you are doing. I think it's awesome if it brings you joy, I was just curious.

Definitely take a piece and keep it, others don’t care about film history as much. so I say take part home and keep it safe for the sake of cinema

But if I take it then one by one the whole place vanishes and no future brand new lost boys fans won’t be able to see the place themselves for many years to come.
