Rare Behind-the-Scenes Shots of Corey Feldman & Corey Haim from ‘Dream a Little Dream 2’ Surface
Rare Photos Surface After Decades
When a former co‑star posted a handful of behind‑the‑scenes pictures on Instagram last week, the internet went into a mild frenzy. The snap‑shots capture a young Corey Feldman and his longtime partner‑in‑crime, Corey Haim, while filming the little‑known 1995 sequel Dream a Little Dream 2. The actress, who appeared alongside the two Coreys in the movie, said she dug out the reels from an old archive box and decided it was time fans saw what went on off‑camera.
What makes the images special isn’t just the rarity; they’re candid moments that reveal the pair’s easy rapport. One frame shows them laughing over a coffee break, another captures Haim rehearsing a line while Feldman adjusts the lighting. The set, a modest studio in Los Angeles, looks decidedly less glossy than the early‑80s blockbusters that first propelled the duo to fame, but the energy feels just as electric.
The Legacy of the Corey Duo in the Mid‑90s
By the mid‑90s, both Coreys had already weathered the highs and lows of early stardom. Their collaboration on the original Dream a Little Dream (1985) cemented them as the era’s unofficial twin‑teens, and the sequel was meant to cash in on that nostalgia. Though the film never broke box‑office records, it remains a footnote that hardcore fans cherish.
The newly released photos breathe fresh life into that footnote. Viewers can see the professionalism that kept them working together despite personal challenges that dominated tabloid headlines. The actress who posted the images noted that the behind‑the‑scenes vibe was “all jokes and shared pizza,” underscoring a camaraderie that survived beyond the glare of the spotlight.
For anyone who grew up with The Lost Boys, Stand by Me, or the first Dream a Little Dream, these pictures serve as a nostalgic time capsule. They remind us that beyond the film reels and celebrity gossip, there were two friends navigating an industry that often feels like a maze. As the photos continue to circulate, they’re likely to spark renewed interest in the forgotten sequel and, perhaps, a fresh re‑evaluation of the Corey duo’s place in 80s and 90s pop culture.
