Corey Haim: The Thrills Are Gone

Posted Mon Jun 23, 2008 12:53pm PDT by Lyndsey Parker in Reality Rocks

A couple of years ago, Irish powerpoppers (and onetime Bait Shop house band on The O.C.) the Thrills asked the musical and perhaps semi-rhetorical question, "Whatever Happened To Corey Haim?"

You can watch their query here:

Well, thanks to the wannabe-Odd Couple, barrel-bottom-scraping show The Two Coreys (the second season of which premiered last night on the network whose initials supposedly stand for "Arts" and "Entertainment") the Thrills will never be able to perform this song in concert again, as it has been rendered completely moot.

The main answer to the Thrills' once-relevant musical question regarding Mr. Haim's humble existence is "not a whole helluva lot," but other appropriate answers, all revealed in The Two Coreys, include:

1) He never quit smoking.

2) He never got married.

3) He ironically never got a driver's license, despite his convincing star turn in License To Drive.

4) He gained a few pounds and turned 35.

5) He was cut out of the cast of The Lost Boys 2.

Thrills, I hope these were the all-important answers you were looking for.

FYI, Corey Feldman did an interview with MTV and said that Corey Haim is indeed going to be in Lost Boys 2.

Corey Haim is in lost boys 2 for 30 seconds at the very end.Corey Feldman is sitting on the beach when he feels someone close by and suprise its Corey Haim as a vampire. Even though its the end of the movie it was the best part.

5. Tom Straub Haunted Art -
I think Corey might have an interesting career in his later years. Some people age well, and so do their performances. Sometimes it takes a decade to pass for this to happen. Time will tell.
