Feldman worked with Spielberg on his early movies (The Goonies, Gremlins), but he has only said nice things about him in interviews. So very likely not Sir Steven. ---

The answer will probably be like the identity of “Deep Throat”. Who’s Mark Felt? It’s very likely some producer or mogul type who is only a household name to people in the industry. ---

How about the openly gay Joel Schumacher, director of The Lost Boys? (Both Corey Haim and Corey Feldman were in that film.) Edited to add this quote from [The Hollywood Reporter](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/corey-feldman-elijah-wood-hollywood-897403), “Haim was just 11 when, Feldman says, a man raped him on a movie set.” According to IMDB, Haim was born in 1971, but his first credit is in 1984. ---

Reading more of that interview, Feldman says that it wasn’t Schumacher. ---

If we’re gonna lob guesses in the direction of father-son acting duos who were prominent in the 80s, how about the Sutherlands? Not saying it’s either of them, but as long as we’re speculating around people who worked with Haim and also trying to tick off all the items on the list. ---
