Well,
fuck me gently with a chainsaw. Do I look like Mother
Theresa?
Teenage
fantasies of revenge on the revolting, snobby Heathers
and the macho jocks are cranked up to murderous heights
when mean ëní moody crackpot JD (Christian
Slater) moves into the high school of Veronica sawyer
(Winona Ryder).
This superb black comedy would have been even blacker
had the original ending been kept.
Set in Sherwood, Ohio, Westerburg
High is a conflation of several schools, but the
main location was the old Corvalis High School, Studio
City in the San
Fernando Valley. The school closed in 1987,
and it's now Osaka Sangyo University
of Los Angeles, 2921 Laurel Canyon Boulevard
at Maxwellton Road about half a mile from Ventura Boulevard.
The gym is Verdugo Hills High
School, Tujunga, seen in many other movies,
including The Craft,
187
and Rivers Edge.
The John Adams Middle School,
2425 16th Street, Santa Monica was also used.
The name Westerburg is a nod to Paul Westerburg, lead
singer of Winona
Ryders fave band of the time, The Replacements.
The opening croqet match was filmed in the statue garden
of the Huntington Library,
1151 Oxford Road, San Marino (seen in Indecent
Proposal).
The jocks cow pushing takes place
in a quiet corner of Griffith
Park, LA.
