After a painful divorce, free-spirited Lucy Anderson moves her two sons—rebellious teenager Michael and precocious pre-teen Sam—from Phoenix to the seaside town of Santa Carla to live with her eccentric father, Grandpa. Santa Carla is a vibrant but dark boardwalk community, known locally as the 'Murder Capital of the World.' Lucy quickly lands a job at a video store owned by the charming Max, who begins courting her. Meanwhile, Michael is drawn to the boardwalk's nightlife and becomes infatuated with a mysterious, beautiful girl named Star. Star runs with a gang of cool, menacing bikers called the Lost Boys, led by the charismatic David.

Michael is eager to be part of their world. David and his crew—Marko, Paul, and Dwayne—initiate him through a series of bizarre and terrifying rituals: a motorcycle race to the edge of a cliff, a dangling contest from a railroad trestle where Michael drops into a foggy abyss, and a feast where the food appears to be maggots and worms but is revealed to be only rice and noodles. However, Michael also drinks from a bottle David offers, which is actually blood. After that night, Michael begins to change: he becomes weak in sunlight, grows long fingernails, his feet exude salt, and he loses his reflection. Sam, an avid comic-book reader, recognizes the symptoms from his horror comics and realizes his brother is turning into a vampire.

Sam seeks help from the Frog Brothers, Edgar and Alan, two self-proclaimed vampire hunters who work at the local comic-book store. They arm Sam with garlic, holy water, and stakes. Together, they confront Michael, who confesses he is a half-vampire and that Star and a young boy named Laddie are also half-vampires, trapped by David. Michael explains that to fully become a vampire, he must make a first kill—and David planned for Star to be his victim. But Star loves Michael and refuses.

With the Frogs' guidance, Michael leads a daylight raid on the Lost Boys' cave hideout—a sunken Victorian hotel lobby. They rescue Star and Laddie while the full-blooded vampires sleep, hanging upside down like bats. The rescue team flees back to Grandpa's house, but as night falls, the Lost Boys come for them. A vicious battle ensues inside the house: Dwayne explodes when staked with an arrow; Paul is destroyed by holy water in a bathtub; Marko is stuffed with garlic and bursts; and David is impaled on a broken hat rack by Star, causing him to disintegrate into a shooting star.

Just when they believe it's over, Max—Lucy's new boyfriend—arrives and reveals himself as the head vampire, the leader of the Lost Boys. He intended to make Lucy their daytime guardian and bring Sam and Michael into the fold. Max attacks, overpowering Michael. But Grandpa, returning home in his pickup truck, smashes through the front window, sending fence posts flying through Max's body. Max is consumed in a vortex, and the spell over the half-vampires is broken: Michael, Star, and Laddie are human again. As the family surveys the wreckage, Grandpa calmly grabs a root beer from the fridge and mutters, 'All the damn vampires.'

The film ends on a darkly comic note: the cave hideout is seen again, now filled with new runaways and disaffected youth—suggesting the cycle of vampirism in Santa Carla is far from over.

• Sam tries to wake his brother Michael, who ignores him. Bored, Sam explores outside, breaks off a marijuana leaf from Grandpa's garden, and is about to light it when Grandpa catches him.
