Buffy The Vampire Slayer It is one of those shows I just get back to. It is a kind of comfortable food that can help make even the worst days more bearable. The side effect of constant re -monitoring these classic episodes is that I get more than a unclear feeling of warm nostalgia. I also have a chance to discover strange little details that we have never noticed. Example: During a flashback in Buffy Episode “State, Part One”, Old High School of Character of the title is actually Courthouse Square, a universal backlot that has been listed in many productions such as Back to the future.

Square of Buffy and court buildings

The Buffy The Vampire Slayer The TV show effectively incorporated the conspiracy of the former film using Courthouse Square to display Hemera High School. This is the same school based in Los Angeles, which the killer took part in the original year 1992 Buffy The film, and in the show, is where the observer Merrick fulfills her about vampires and its responsibility for their stopping. In particular, this flashback reveals that Angel, a vampire with a soul, looked at Buffy and decided to “be someone” who could help her with her supernatural struggle.

Here’s a confession that may lose my geek credit: I watched a two -piece “becoming” an episode of countless times and during a flashback I was too busy by admiring the connection with Buffy The Vampire Slayer A film that notices the square building. This time, however, I found out that I was staring at the screen, I could not shake the feeling that I saw this place before this series. At that time it hit me: I am a child of 80. And this particular set represented some of the biggest films of my childhood.

This universal backlot was built back in 1948 (before Buffy The Vampire Slayer The creator of Joss Whedon was even born) and was previously called Courthouse Square. Was built for a movie The act of murderBut it used to be called Mockingbird Square because it was hard in the famous adaptation of 1962 Kill a mockingbird. Since 1985, however, thanks to the top scene has earned its new name Back to the future Where young Marty McFly has to ride a perfectly timed flash for the future or be stuck in the past forever.

This is true: the same set that was used for this scene Buffy Flashback in “Stand with, Part One” was used to revive Hill Valley Back to the futureIncluding an iconic fictitious city court building. As for the famous clock tower, it was a removable accessory and it is not uncommon for various directors to add scenery when they do not want the batch of the square to look like… Well… just a court building.

For movie lovers, part of what they made Back to the future Special is the director Robert Zemeckis It used the whole batch to revive the Hill valley, although most of it (including the same theater and even the same clock towers) can be seen in Joe Dante’s Gremlinsthat came out a year ago. And while Back to the future and Gremlins are the most famous films that this Buffy The ensemble of the court building has been listed, the Eagle Eyed viewers can see it Batman and Robin, Bruce Almightyand much more, including the wrong but the last horror movie Maxxxine.

It is true that this Buffy The Vampire Slayer The episode was already very satisfactory, but Square Square Courthouse Square moves it to the next level. Likewise, one of my favorite TV shows is associated with several of my favorite films and directors. Fortunately, the ensemble even survived to catch fire on several occasions, but no one needed a killer of real life to pass through fire to help them release the flames and preserve this iconic piece of Hollywood history.
