Hey all. My name is Jerry. Some of you may know me, probably fro UtR or No Escape. I'm 21, live in Delaware, want to write comics and novels, and would desperately like to win the lottery so I can quit my crappy retail job. I'm a huge vampire fan, have been since I read a Dracula picture book that I found in the library of my elementary school. It was based on the classic movie, and the concept of vampires captivated me...which probably says something humorous about my elementary school mind. I've moved up into being a fan of all horror, but vampires are still, and always will be, my favorite monsters. Zombies have taken the second spot, so says my George Romero collection. XD
So, I'm bringing in Edgar Frog, from the Lost Boys series. I think I'm one of the few that actually enjoyed The Tribe (I'll admit it's a terrible, terrible film but it's so terrible it somehow goes back around to being good) so I'll be bringing ol' Eddie in from just after it. Three days after
this actually. Don't worry, there's no spoilers, it's just a little credit-clip that was probably made mostly for fanservice. For those that don't want to watch it, Edgar is sitting on a picnic table with his gear, aware that there's a vampire out there. A very specific vampire, who he calls out. Sam, aka Corey Haim's character from the first movie, shows up. They have a very brief back and forth, consisting pretty much of Edgar threatening him and him threatening Edgar, and then the two of them lunge at each other. I'm going to say that Edgar staked Sam, and then three days later he died in, ironically, a car accident. I am adding a little bit to their confrontation, where Sam gloats about Alan Frog (who is now a master vampire) coming to Luna Bay. This was mentioned in both the alternate endings, and while I liked the first ending, I really felt that information should've been included.
Edgar is often considered comic relief. While this is definitely going to be there in my portrayal, I also felt that for a guy who's been doing this more or less all his life, he's probably more badass than we get to see, considering he's not the main character. So my Edgar is going to be a weird blend of comic relief garlic-holy water-raw egg drinking Edgar and badass vampire hunter Edgar. Who will be extremely pissed off at losing all his gear. XD
Just for a little quick information on Edgar: He's a minister (apparently he got ordained online) so he is capable of blessing things. He hasn't figured out yet that he should be blessing every piece of gear he has, though he might at some point. He also shaped surfboards, and I'm going to say that he still owned the comic shop from the first one, although it's changed locations to Luna Bay. Not that it matters now, lol. In the Reign of Frogs comics, which covers the gap between the first movie and the second, it is revealed that Edgar and Alan briefly worked in D.C., hunting vampires for the president (yeah, I know, but go with me on this one) and then made a return to their home in Santa Carla. There they ran into David, Kiefer Sutherland's vampire character from the first one, who is running with a new gang of vamps. They are easily overpowered, but Sam shows up with his dog to help them out. They go to Sam's house and discover that Grandpa is now a half vampire, and has been feeding on animals to stay that way. Edgar is ready to handle his business, but Sam stops him. Grandpa leads them to the house of the widow Johnson (mentioned several times in the first movie) who is the one who turned him. The gang is attacked by a bunch of female vampires, and during the fight, Alan claims that one of the vampires fed him her blood, and that he enjoyed it... And that's where wiki ends the summary of the comics, so I'm going to say that Alan went over to the dark side, Edgar flipped out and staked Grandpa, Sam flipped out and abandoned Edgar, and Alan went off to do his vampire thing. I'm thinking Alan probably turned Sam, either that or David turned him to sort of give Michael (his older brother, and main character of the first movie) a big ol' fuck you. This is why Edgar is working alone and in Luna Bay, rather than Santa Carla. Without help from his buddies, David and his crew were easily able to force Edgar out. ...Okay, so that wasn't quick, but y'know. XD
