Scream Bloody Murder (2003)




I wish I could stop blogging about the Chateau Bradbury Estate, but it keeps turning up again and again.

In the low-budget slasher comedy Scream Bloody Murder (2003), the estate turns up at the beginning of the film as a private school called Cherrymount Academy For Girls.  This is the estate's fourth appearance on this blog, the previous posts can be found here, here, and here.  As mentioned in the previous posts, the estate has appeared in the movies Grosse Pointe Blank (1997), Ghoulies IV (1994), Confessions Of Sorority Girls (1994), and The Stray (2000).  The estate has also made appearances on the TV shows Tales From The Crypt (1989) and Bones (2005).  Check out the previous blog posts for screencaps from the Estate's other on-screen appearances.  And don't be surprised if this location turns up a fifth time.

Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)




Brief update on a location that was already covered.

Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) is set in Michigan, but it was clearly filmed primarily in the Los Angeles area.  The high school in the film is John Marshall High School, a very recognizable Los Angeles high school that has been featured in countless films.  

The Newberry home in the film, where the climactic shootout between John Cusack and Dan Aykroyd takes place, is a location that has been covered previous in this blog both here and here.  It is the Chateau Bradbury Estate, and it was also featured in Ghoulies IV (1994), Confessions Of Sorority Girls (1994), and The Stray (2000), as well as episodes of Bones (2005) and Tales From The Crypt (1989).  Check out the previous blog posts for screencaps from the Estate's other on-screen appearances.

The accompanying park on the mansion's grounds is featured in a scene from May (2002), where Angela Bettis and Jeremy Sisto eat lunch in the park.

The finale of Ghoulies IV (1994) was filmed at the Chateau Bradbury Estate in Duarte, California.  In the film, it was called the Hochstatter Mental Hospital (possibly a reference to Sorority House Massacre II (1990), another Jim Wynorski film).  The estate was also used as the home of the main characters in The Stray (2000).  It has also turned up in a few TV shows, including the Bones (2005) episode titled “Death In The Saddle” and at the end of the Tales From The Crypt (1989) episode “Lover Come Hack To Me”.
