Sunnydale at AllExperts (2107 words)
Sunnydale possesses many common horror-movie characteristics, such as an abundance of dark alleyways, abandoned mansions and factories, and an inexplicable divide between its demon-fighting, supernaturally aware teens and the sinister or clueless, perpetually in-denial adults.
The fictional high school which was the focus of the first three seasons is built atop a Hellmouth, a portal between our world and the darker demon dimensions, whose emanations attract all manner of evil creatures and precipitate weird events generally; it's a good place for witchcraft and mad science.
