It’s not even Halloween yet, and one of the ’80s biggest scream kings is already giving fans a spooky holiday treat by slashing the price of his cameos. This is no trick. Corey Feldman, who starred in such horror hits as Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, ThE LoSt BoYS, Gremlins and a whole plastic pumpkin full of other genre favorites is trying to cheer fans up in these woefully historic moments as we barrel into the actual Halloween holiday itself. If you’ve ever thought of getting yourself a personal message from Corey, now would be the time to do it. Act quick, like within the next 48 hrs., and he’ll even knock more off the asking price.
Corey Feldman has been known to dress up as some of his most iconic characters on cameo before. Once he donned his legendary red (or is it blue) headband from ThE LoSt BoYS in a tribute to Edgar Frog. I’m not saying he’ll do that again. But you never know. The guy is full of surprises. And Halloween is the perfect time to get a message from our boy, The Felddog. While his music has taken the wheel these past few years, he spent his early years in Hollywood becoming one of our premiere Scream Kings. and there’s no denying his track record in the horror genre.
Let’s just start with the fact that he is quite literally horror royalty. In 1984’s Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Feldman originated the role of Tommy Jarvis, a young boy who finds himself trapped in the middle of Jason Voorhees’ latest killing spree. Feldman was only 12 years old when he played Tommy, but he brought a surprising amount of personality and emotional weight to the character, particularly during Tommy’s climactic confrontation with Jason. The character would go on to become one of the most important young survivors in the Friday the 13th franchise, with Tommy later being played by John Shepherd and Thom Mathews in Friday the 13th: A New Beginning and Jason Lives, respectively. But Feldman will always be the kid who first brought Tommy Jarvis to life. And let’s not forget those cool props Tommy was making that helped him survive Jason’s attack. This kid was pretty talented.
That same year, Feldman also popped up in Joe Dante’s Gremlins as Pete Fountaine, the young friend of Billy Peltzer. It was another small but memorable role in a movie that became an instant Christmas horror classic, giving Feldman yet another iconic ‘80s genre credit before he had even turned 13. The kid was on a role, as he would soon slip into the fatigues of Vampire slayer Edgar Frog, one half of the Frog Brothers, in the hugely popular bloodsucking teen vamp classic ThE LoSt BoYS. Let’s just say that Corey Feldman and Halloween go together like bullets and guns. Maybe you can convince Felddog to make your cameo while he eats some peanut butter out of the jar in the kitchen.
Corey’s other horror hits include my favorite The ‘burbs, along with his favorite The Birthday, and so many others that it’s crazy. We got Feldman showing up in the Tales from the Crypt movie Bordello of Blood, Demonic Master vs Demon Toys, Corbin Nash, 13 Fanboy, The Zombie King, 6 Degrees of Hell…The list just keeps going on and on. Face it, this kid is an ascended legend.
Feldman has spent more than four decades entertaining people, and his résumé is kind of ridiculous when you stop and look at it. Before most of us were old enough to know what a movie credit was, Feldman was already working steadily in Hollywood. Outside of the horror genre, Feldman’s Mouth remains one of the great wiseass kid characters of the decade, with The Goonies somehow becoming even more beloved with age. Amblin still describes the adventure thriller as a story that has delighted audiences for more than four decades, and Feldman is right there in the middle of it, alongside Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, Kerri Green and Ke Huy Quan.
Then there’s Stand by Me, which might be the most enduringly emotional movie in Feldman’s early résumé. He played Teddy Duchamp, one of four Oregon kids who head out on an unforgettable trek to find a missing teenager. Sony still describes it as a rare film about friendship and growing up, and Feldman’s performance is a huge part of why the movie works. Heck, even that is horror adjacent, with a story that comes from the king of fright himself, Stephen King.
Corey is “soft” retired from acting at the moment, focusing more on his illustrious music career over the past couple of decades, with some very successful tours under his belt. He’s making and playing new music today, and it’s certainly fun to dance too. That doesn’t mean he’s done in front of the camera. He’s obviously willing to jump in and make you a cameo. That’s a pretty fun treat for Halloween.
Feldman’s music career has been running alongside his acting career for decades, and 2026 has been a particularly busy year. He released the new single “What Am I Here 4?” in June, followed by “Jump Back Black Cat (Gimme That Rock and Roll)” in July. His official site describes the new music as the beginning of another creative chapter, and both tracks are available through the major digital music services.
What are you waiting for? I know, probably enough money to cover food and rent. But who needs to eat when you’ll forever have Edgar Frog in a Cameo telling you to cheer up. Life is beautiful man. Just remember one thing, “The pizza dude is coming!”
