The Lost Boys (1987) Directed by Joel Schumacher Foregoing CGI for practical effects, the filmmakers used wire rigs to lift and swoop the vampires. Fast-paced editing and strategic lighting masked the machinery, lending the vampires a rapid, animalistic agility.

“Cry Little Sister” and THE LOST BOYS (1987) are basically inseparable. The song doesn’t just play in the movie. It feels like the movie. The second those vocals start, you’re back on the Santa Carla boardwalk surrounded by vampires and neon lights.

Kiefer Sutherland in The Lost Boys (1987) is effortlessly iconic. That stare, the voice, the calm menace. Joel Schumacher said Sutherland barely blinked on purpose to make David feel inhuman.

In Matilda (1996), Amanda’s pigtail-throw scene was done for real — no CGI. Her pigtails were reinforced with wire and attached to hidden rigs, while a harness under her dress helped lift and spin her safely through the air.

Edward Cullen’s introduction in Twilight (2008) That pale, otherworldly look wasn’t CGI either. The filmmakers used heavy makeup and specific lighting setups to give him that unreal, almost glowing presence in the cafeteria.

While the film seems remembered more for its CGI, it looks like there was a lot of practical effects used in Godzilla (1998).

Before CGI could convincingly duplicate humans, Terminator 2 (1991) solved it the practical way. James Cameron used identical twins to create double shots with real lighting and physical presence. CGI was saved for the liquid metal, while Leslie Hamilton doubled Sarah Connor, and Don and Dan Stanton doubled the T 1000 guard scene.

In The Shape of Water (2017), the Amphibian Man was built mostly with practical effects. A full silicone suit with scales and gills took around 3 hours a day to apply. CGI was used only to enhance the eyes and add subtle bioluminescence — reality first, magic second.
