Happy anniversary to SUMMER SCHOOL, released July 22, 1987. As a seventeen-year-old, I thought this was a great movie, especially with the horror movie loving teens. I’ve been to a few of the locations over the years….
Oceanfront High School is pretty far from the actual water. It is located at 5607 Capistrano in Woodland Hills, California. This is best known as the school for The Karate Kid and Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge.
Freddy’s house has been replaced, but it was on Venice Beach.
The police station is located at 6045 York Boulevard in Los Angeles.
One of the beach shots is at Point Dume in Malibu, California.
We return to the same spot at Point Dume for the end of the movie.
