Our expert's notes

Dwayne’s (Billy Wirth) death costume from Joel Schumacher’s 1987 horror film The Lost Boys. In the film, two young brothers move to a new town and discover that the neighborhood has a serious vampire infestation. Multiple Dwayne costumes were created for the film, each featuring its own hand-painted jaguar on the shoulder, however this particular costume was made for Dwayne’s death sequence. In the scene Sam (Corey Haim) shoots Dwayne with an arrow, sending him back into a stereo which electrocutes him until he explodes. Resembling a heavily worn biker outfit, the costume consists of a black leather Schott jacket and a pair of black Levis jeans. The custom jacket features a hand-painted jaguar on the right shoulder, which extends down the arm. The sleeves have been cut at the elbow for the effect of Dwayne’s arms exploding during his electrocution. There is a long slash in the back of the jacket where his back would have met the stereo. Dwayne’s pants show numerous holes where the fabric has been heavily worn down. Written inside the pants is "B. Wirth." The costume shows intentional production distressing, and remains in fair condition.
