Which Doors song appears in the 1987 film 'The Lost Boys'?

The Doors song that appears in the 1987 film The Lost Boys is “People Are Strange.” The film uses a cover by the British band Echo & the Bunnymen rather than the original Doors recording, making the song a memorable part of its vampire-themed atmosphere.

Originally released by the Doors as a single in 1967, “People Are Strange” was written by Jim Morrison and Robby Krieger, with music shaped by the band’s psychedelic sound. It reached the Top 20 in the United States and became one of the group’s best-known songs.

Echo & the Bunnymen recorded their version specifically for The Lost Boys soundtrack. Their interpretation was produced by Ray Manzarek, the Doors’ keyboardist, and has a slightly different arrangement from the original. This cover is sometimes mistaken for a new Echo & the Bunnymen composition, while other viewers remember the film’s original score or “Cry Little Sister” instead.
