Whatever Happened To Corey Haim?

LINDSAYISM: Nice sort of seeing you last night. I posted my manifesto. It's not directed at you or Vegan or anything.
STEREOGUM: I only took ONE photo.
LINDSAYISM: Last night I had a dream I was babysitting you as a baby, and I prevented you from eating glass.
STEREOGUM: Thanks. I appreciate it. Did I look like this?

LINDSAYISM: You had black hair, but I think that's 'cause my ex had black hair and he was Jewish so I assume all Jewish babies have black hair. We should do a day where all bloggers post their baby photos.
STEREOGUM: Anyway, I need your comedy mind. We're trying to come up with some questions for Corey Haim for 100 Greatest Kid Stars. So far only one person submitted. And it's in Portuguese.
LINDSAYISM: I don't know anything about Corey Haim.
STEREOGUM: He fucked Nicole Eggert against a wall in a movie I paused a lot in '92 (Fixed NSFW trip down straight-to-Cinemax lane). I could ask him about that.
LINDSAYISM: Ooh, we did that pause thing with a John Cusack movie. We were looking for boobs.
STEREOGUM: "Is it annoying when people go up to you and ask if you wear sunglasses at night?" He might get offended by that. I could use help.

The Thrills - "Whatever Happened To Corey Haim" (MP3)
BONUS (best tune on the album):
The Thrills - "Our Wasted Lives" (MP3)

Submit your amusing yet respectful questions for Corey here.

Any Thrills fans named Scott out there? I have a poster signed by the entire band made out to Scott (wasn't even signed for me!) It's yours if you think of the cleverest question Corey would conceivably answer. Post in the comments

Well, i just have to say that trying to reason out and say that everyone that likes to take pictures at concerts are doin git for thier benefit is probably the most misinformed theory ever. I take pictures because i enjoy pictures and i do take them at any concert that allows it. If the artist is going to be affected by this and the show will change that would be a problem, but taking pictures at a concert has mor than one reason.

I wonder whether Corey Haim still keeps in touch with Corey Feldman -- both of those guys have pretty much disapeared (for better or worse). However, Sean Astin is still going strong. . .

Question for Corey Haim:

When you stuffed Heather Graham in the trunk of that car in License to Drive did you and Corey Feldman discuss perhaps just getting into the car on set and driving away with her in there? Because the look in your eyes during that scene.....makes you wonder....

Thank you, Lindsay. Thank you so much for the camera post. I've tried to explain this over and over again at shows, but since I'm not a fancy-blog-lady (not being sarcastic there) no one listens. If you love music so much, why can't you listen and enjoy a show without props.

My personal revenge fantasy involves inviting a whole bunch of Pigface or Rammstein fans to an indie show to clean house like in the country club scene in Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.

Lindsay, Three Quid would be proud of your camera rant, spoiling the fun of the other children, etc., etc. I am, too. Too often getting pictures of things trumps the experience of the thing itself. I don't want the Arctic Monkeys. Wolf Parade, Arcade Fire et al to be merely the Most Photographed Barn (â„¢ Don DeLillo).

Haim,
Never before has someone so effectively reached in and grabbed failure out from jaws of success with the same passion and conviction as you, how does that feel?

can we expect a "license to drive II" anytime in the future? there's no way either corey could have valid ids given all their past transgressions, right? maybe the plot line involves their suspension periods ending around the same time. they get excited, shoot up/eat twinkies and head to the dmv...hilarity ensues, yes?

I think there is room for an effects-driven sequel to Dream a Little Dream, but this time, it's Feldman on crutches.

Corey, you're from Toronto, Canada, and that country has been recently racked with scandal as the ruling Liberal party has been accused of wide-scale corruption and graft. A new election has been called for, yet the two parties are fighting over the timing of the election. In the meantime, global warming has resulted in heretofore unpassable waterways becoming navigable through land that Canada has maintained only tennuous authority over.

So, in consideration of all this: Did you ever bang Kirsty Swanson?

Whoever referred to "Dream A Little Dream" is now officially my favorite person in the world.

I can think of a few questions for Corey Haim:
-Who, in your opinion, are other Coreys of note (besides yourself and Feldman)?
-If given the opportunity, would YOU do Surreal Life?
-What career advice would you give to, say, Dakota Fanning?

I thought I had a lot more ideas...but the well hath run dry. That's all for now.

Feldman was part of the amazing voice duo behind the "Porkrinds? Porkrinds!" exchange.

Rockwell was the criminal tourguide greaseball... If only all of our careers could have started with TMNT :)

Just to fess up - I adored Corey Haim when I was 12. That aside, my question would be:
"Did Jason Patric and Kiefer Sutherland make fun of you (especially your trousers) while filming Lost Boys?"

Has anyone ever seriously discussed the possibility of a sequel to Lucas (1986)?
The movie had great acting and a story that naturally lended itself to a sequel via the return of the locusts every 17 years. Not to mention a phenominal cast; Charlie Sheen, Kerry Greene, Winona Ryder, Courtney Thorne-Smith, and Jeremy Piven. All of which, along with Corey, would probably welcome the opportunity at a comeback on the bis screen. Come back Corey - we miss you!

I really enjoyed the show tonight . I have always loved both Corey's from childhood.

I remember wanting to give Corey Feldmen a hug after watching him on Surreal life .How sad that no one understood him . Now, I want to give Corey Haim a hug ! I feel for him. He seems so sad .

Corey Feldmen got so mature,responsible and good looking as he got older. Corey Haim is still cute since he was a kid. Glad they both got clean .

Great show so far .Both are cuties !

I'm so happy to see Corey Haim back, hope he stays. Does it matter if he is portrayed to be using again on The Two Coreys? How do we know what is real? Isn't it just entertainment? Even if he is, doesnt he deserve respect for trying to quit? Kicking a bad habit is so HARD to do, even if you pour all your soul into it. You have my support Corey.

I, too, would LOVE to find his address again. I sent him a letter EVERY SINGLE MONTH for 4 years and, of course, never got a reply. I dont know if he ever even read them. I was only like 14 at the time though. I was SO in love with that guy. My first crush. lol
Id love to send him some love and support right about now. I cant wait to see his comeback.
IF ANYONE has an address for him, posting it would be great! :)

I too would love to get ahold of his address information and find a way to contact him. I am a liscenced massage therapist and I would love to help him regain some self confidence, help treat his low self esteem, and help him feel better in general (massage therapy does wonderous things for folks with self esteem problems and people dealing with addiction, anxiety, and depression) it boosts the "feel good"hormones your body produces and gets rid of the ones that are responsible for depression and anxiety. I would love to help him get back on track to a healthier lifestyle. so if anyone has any information as to how to get ahold of him, or even his agent, that would be great! just email me and let me know! thanks bunches guys!!
