STORY & PHOTOS
Move to a new town, start at a new school, examine a dead guy, fight some vampires... typical day, right? Only for Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) on Joss Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". But I guess that's what happens when you go to school on the Hellmouth.
Torrance High School in Torrance, CA stands in for Sunnydale High, where Buffy and the Original Scooby Gang try to best the vampires and other beasts that are intent on ruining their high school experience.
My best pal Alex loves him some "Buffy" so on his first trip to CA I took him directly to Sunnydale (legitimately... off the plane, into the car, straight to Buffy's house and Sunnydale High).
It was after dark, so it was spooky, which felt appropriate for a "Buffy" mission.
