His career was over before I was born, but I've seen enough shitty 90's direct to video movies , episodes of Roboth Chicken and Lost Boys to know who he is.
I imagine this is bigger news for those who grew upon under the dictatorship of the Two Coreys over the hearts of every girl they ever liked.

least surprising news ever?

Too bad he could never get clean. I remember the stories of him selling his teeth on Ebay.

That's exactly what my wife said.

Guess that answers The Thrills' question then.

Usually when we call death "sad," we mean it's sad for us, the survivors. Though I'm sure his Mother and others grieve, I think this one may be most sad for he who feels it not. He had so much promise in Lucas, but wasted it all. Probably wouldn't have transitioned to a successful adult film career - hard enough to stay current and in demand at any age - but to end up being the walking, talking emblem of the excesses of child stardom; to end up the butt of so many jokes; to seem a perfect characterization of all that was worst in '80s excess; cannot have been a pleasant way to get through life.

I imagine him to have been mostly miserable. Perhaps his end was a relief, but if an afterlife exists it is difficult not to imagine Haim in it, mourning the senseless waste of his own talent and promise.

who?

The Corey that didn't dress like Michael Jackson

Time for a Cory Haim retrospective.
All of Key West is in shock...

Damn kids.

I always thought Feldman would be the first to go.

Feldman's kinda ugly. Some reason, the ugly always take longer dyin'.

too bad...i was hoping for a liscense to drive part 2

Anyone else find it amusing that a board participant with only 9 posts felt compelled to start a Corey Haim death thread?

yes - this was unbelievably shocking. Liked him in "Lucas" but that kid was pretty much worthless as an actor and movie star.

Haim kinda looked like a lesbian. Then I read his bio and discover he was Canadian by birth. Go figure.

Starting to come out now that he had the increasingly popular "flulike symptoms" and had been taking multiple medications. According to his agent and some family, he was staying clean and had signed on for a couple of projects. Hmm.

It's sad to me because I was one of those pre teengirls with a crush on him in the 80s.

Shit, I didn't know he was the kid in "Lucas". What a waste.

Damn if Hollywood shouldn't set up a fucking "mentorship" program for childhood stars so they stop dropping like the cliches they are.

He's riding that big Silver Bullet motorized wheelchair in the sky.

i remember a few years back he put this ad in Variety to announce that he was back and ready to work. i guess now it was a waste.

i guess you could say that the lost boy is truly....lost
*puts sunglasses on*

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

'Words that rhyme with Corey' and Lost Boys are my only points of reference for this guy.
