He then pushes her away, and she is impaled and killed by taxidermy antlers. The next day Chris pays Edgar Frog another visit. Edgar tells Chris that he only let Chris throw him out because he knows what it's like to lose a family member to the other side, thus implying that his brother and partner, Alan Frog, is now a vampire. Edgar also tells him that his sister is only half-vampire and will remain that way unless she feeds, and she can be turned human again if they kill the head vampire. They decide that Chris will join up with the tribe of vampires and become one of them in order to gain their trust, only to betray them in the end.

Chris finds the vampire gang, known as "The Tribe" and drinks Shane's blood during their campfire.

Chris and Edgar then set off to find Shane and the remaining members of the Tribe, and save Nicole. Once there, Chris drives a running drill into Erik's heart, and elsewhere, Edgar shoots Kyle in the head with a holy water balloon, causing his head to explode.

Afterwards, Chris and Shane have a final showdown with Shane gaining the upper hand. Nicole intervenes and stakes Shane. Shane tries to pull Nicole onto the stake, but before he can do so he is decapitated by Chris, restoring them to normal. Edgar arrives to see Shane's burning corpse on the ground.

Plans for a sequel to The Lost Boys had been in varying stage of development since the release of the original film. Director of the original film Joel Schumacher had wanted to do a sequel called The Lost Girls before the announcement of The Tribe, a film in which he has no input in and does not believe should be made. In addition, a script called Lost Boys: Devil May Cry was also considered.

Corey Feldman will be returning as one of the vampire slaying "Frog Brothers," Edgar who initially was reluctant to participate in the sequel. Newcomer Greyston Holt, as Evan, finds himself up against the vampire horde after he becomes close to the object of the head vampire's affection, Reeser. Merwin Mondesir, Shaun Sipos, and Kyle Cassie have been cast as the vampires led by Angus Sutherland's character. Moneca Delain has also been added to the cast.

Says Feldman on the film: "Warner Bros. has further developed the script — they brought on a great writer, Hans Rodionoff, who came up with a great story line. In the script, as it is today, I am one of the leads. My involvement is very close to what my involvement was in the first one. So I'm pretty much scattered throughout. Edgar was always an outcast, but here his close-knit family have drifted apart. They've had a major problem, and because of that problem, Edgar today is working alone. The film is about him trying to still carry the torch as it were, without the aid and assistance of his partners. That leaves him in an even lonelier and even more delicate place than he was in the first film being the outsider that he already was."

In an interview with Fangoria, Tom Savini said the following in regards to his role in the film: "I'm one of the first vampires you see in the movie, I'm a surfer who runs into the vampires at the beginning of the film, in a sequence that is shot very Sergio Leone-style. They're shooting The Tribe in Vancouver right now, and I'll be there September 11."

Jason Patric, who portrayed Michael in the first film, was rumored to be returning to the role for a small scene in the sequel; however, this was debunked in MTV's August 28 interview with Corey Feldman. Corey Haim briefly reprises his role as Sam Emerson, but only appears following a portion of the film's final credits. Jamison Newlander is also listed in the film's credits, although he only appears briefly as Alan Frog in the two alternative endings.

Production on Lost Boys: The Tribe began in early 2007 and started filming in Vancouver, B.C. in August. Location shooting for the film is rumored to include San Diego and Vancouver, B.C.. Six weeks of production in Squamish and Richmond, outside of Vancouver, will wrap on Sept. 24.

Wildstorm Comics has announced a prequel to the movie, focusing on Edgar and Alan Frog, entitled The Lost Boys: Reign of Frogs. It is a 4-issue miniseries scheduled that began shipping in May 2008.

Gerard McMahon, who wrote and recorded the theme song "Cry Little Sister" for the original Lost Boys film, recently announced he has recorded several new songs for the sequel's soundtrack. Aiden have also recorded a version of "Cry Little Sister" to be used in the upcoming movie.

Nathan Barr has composed the original score for the film.
