Corey Haim was a rising star in the 1980s and sweet faced teenage star became the crush of many at that time. He sadly took to drugs which led to the downfall and damaged his career. The fans hoped that he would make a grand comeback leaving aside his bitter past but that did not happen.

However, the fans of the star got hopeful when he made a small comeback in the year 2007 with a reality show named “The Two Coreys”. The show also featured Corey Feldman his best buddy and another teen idols of the 1980s. However, his drug addiction ruined this effort as well and the best endeavors of Corey Feldman to salvage the life and career of his friend turned to be futile.
