Sam: Chill out Edgar.
Edgar: [coming to his senses] Right.
-

Sam: Did you know that?
Edgar: Sure. Everyone knows that.
-

Trivia:
|
- The movie was originally written as a bunch of "Goonie-type 5th-6th grade kid vampires". Joel Schumacher liked the title but hated the concept, so he changed it.
- Although the movie is clearly set in Santa Cruz, Ca (the Boardwalk and Pier are featured in several scenes) the city name given in the film is the-as far as I know-fictional Santa Carla. Apparently the Santa Cruz chamber of commerce was not keen on reviving the "Murder capital" moniker, which had been hung on Santa Cruz during a serial killer's rampage in the 70s.
- The title of the film is a reference to the companions of Peter Pan, who remained forever young.
- The amusement park scenes were filmed at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in California. This is the same park that appeared in Brotherhood of Justice (also starring Kiefer Sutherland.) The Boardwalk was also seen in the Dirty Harry sequel Sudden Impact and Harold and Maude.
- David is impaled on a pair of antlers and doesn't disintegrate like the other vampires. Despite what Max later says, he is not really dead. This was intended to be picked up in the sequel, which was scripted but never made.
