it movies/miniseries: like the book, foundational. when people refer to kids on bikes, it's usually stephen king they mean. a group of kids fight an interdimensional monster.
the goonies: not exactly horror, but i think you can make the argument to include it in summerween for this particular genre. a group of kids go on an adventure for treasure.
super 8: an homage to the genre, especially the following-
et: also not exactly horror, but so formative for the genre! did give me nightmares as a child, so i think it counts. both super 8 and e.t. follow a group of kids finding an alien.
the lost boys: in an 80s based genre, this is the most 80s! vampires, boardwalks, and both coreys. a group of kids deal with california vampires.
vampires vs the bronx: is definitely more fall than summer, but i want more people to watch this movie! it's great. a group of kids deal with new york vampires.
attack the block: such an incredible movie, and i think has some really cool commentary on the genre hidden in there. a group of kids fight off aliens.
stranger things: i mean, if you're reading this list, you know what stranger things is. i think the first 3 seasons are the most kids on bikes-y. a group of kids discover a supernatural mystery in their town.
paper girls: kids on bikes tends to be very boy-heavy, so this is a lovely little entry with girls, time travel, and jason mantzoukas as the big bad.
something wicked this way comes: also a fall entry, but very much in the genre. two boys discover a traveling carnival's secrets.
i've already mentioned their filmed counterparts, but it and paper girls.
the body and its film counterpart, stand by me are also foundational to the genre. not quite horror, but not not horror either.
the montague twins is a graphic novel series about twin detectives uncovering various supernatural mysteries.
