   Buffy the Vampire Slayer: 10 Hidden Details About The Summers Home You Never   
   Noticed   
   The Summers home was heavily featured throughout the run of Buffy The   
   Vampire Slayer. How many of these details about the house did you notice?   
      
   Just over 20 years have passed since the world fell in love with Buffy Anne   
   Summers, the badass, vampire-slaying teen destined to fight (and slay) evil.   
   Yet for most fans, it feels like no time has passed since Buffy and her   
   mother first arrived in Sunnydale, California. Over the course of Buffy The   
   Vampire Slayer's seven seasons, the seemingly normal town is revealed to be   
   an epicenter of supernatural activity; but what of Buffy's family home?   
      
      
   1630 Revello Drive housed humans, slayers, ex-demons, reformed vampires,   
   witches and watchers alike in its time, so what were they seeing that we   
   missed? Here are 10 Hidden Details About The Summers Home You Never Noticed.   
      
      
   10   
   Buffy's Bed Is Almost Always Made   
      
   That's right, this full-time highschooler, full-time slayer still manages to   
   make her bed every morning. It's hard to believe that a teenage girl who   
   stays out all night fighting evil can remember to keep her linens in order   
   but a tidy space means a tidy mind!   
      
   And Buffy needed a tidy mind with all those restless nights of prophetic   
   dreaming.

   It Serves As Headquarters For More Than Just The Scooby Gang   
      
   The First Evil, whom fans of the series know as "the personification of evil   
   itself" launches a full-blown campaign against Buffy and the Scoobies, with   
   the intention of destroying the beloved group entirely. During this time,   
   the Summers' home is transformed into the group's headquarters.   
      
   However, much earlier in the series, the cozy Sunnydale home also serves as   
   headquarters for MOO (Mothers Opposed to the Occult), established by Buffy's   
   mother Joyce.

   The Living Room Windows Are Constantly Breaking   
      
   Over the series, many evil beings have burst through the Summers' living   
   room windows to try and get at the Scooby Gang, or to the slayer herself,   
   consequently breaking them. Fans will remember one such event of this, in   
   Episode 2 of Season 3, "Dead's Man Party" when zombies smash through the   
   windows and terrorize the party organized to welcome Buffy home to   
   Sunnydale.   
      
   Buffy soon realizes that a friend of her mother's, Pat, has put on the mask   
   containing the powers of the zombie demon Ovu Mobani and is consequently   
   demonized. In an attempt to save Willow, Buffy pushes the Pat demon out the   
   window.   
      
      
   7   
   The Basement Serves As A Make-Shift "Prison"   
      
   MANY Supernatural Beings (GOOD AND EVIL) SERVE THEIR TIME IMPRISONED IN THE   
   BASEMENT OF THE SUMMERS' HOME OVER THE COURSE OF THE SERIES. IN EPISODE 17   
   OF SEASON 6, "NORMAL AGAIN", A DEMON CALLED ON BY THE TRIO STABS BUFFY IN   
   THE ARM WITH A NEEDLE, TRIGGERING A TRAUMATIC MEMORY OF BUFFY'S FROM HER   
   CHILDHOOD.   
      
   The demon is inevitably thrown into the Summers' basement by Spike and   
   Xander only for Buffy to, in a state of delusion caused by the trauma,   
   imprison her friends in there with it.   
      
      
   6   
   The Greatest Spike/Buffy Moment Happens On Her Back Porch   
      
   In a particularly tender moment at the end of the episode, Buffy retreats to   
   her back porch in tears, reacting to news of her mother's sickness.   
   Appearing out of nowhere with the intention of killing her, Spike changes   
   his mind and joins her on the porch. It's an intimate moment, certainly a   
   tear-jerker.   
      
      
   5   
   Dawn's Arrival Is Hinted At In Buffy's Bedroom   
      
   There are multiple hints to the arrival of Buffy's younger sister Dawn in   
   Season 5's premiere episode, which the show's creator Joss Whedon has   
   acknowledged. Many of these take the form of conversations between Buffy and   
   another character, most often  Faith.   
      
   One such example occurs in the season finale of season four, the episode   
   immediately before Dawn is introduced, where Buffy, Willow, Giles, and   
   Xander are stalked whilst dreaming. Buffy's dream takes place in her   
   bedroom, where she wakes up to find Tara. Together, they make the bed and   
   Tara tells Buffy to, "be back before Dawn."   
      
      
   4   
   The Address Is Incorrectly Shown In "As You Were"   
      
   In "As You Were", the fifteenth episode of Season 6, audiences sympathize   
   with Buffy, whose grueling job and responsibility as the sole carer of Dawn   
   appear to be taking their toll on the young Slayer. The seemingly despondent   
   Buffy returns home to see that a letter from UC Sunnyvale has arrived - her   
   re-application to the university has been rejected.   
      
   However, when the camera pans down to reveal the letter in plain view, the   
   address under Buffy's name reads, "1630 Crestview". Yet in Season 5's iconic   
   episode "The Body," in which Joyce Summers dies, Buffy clearly tells the 911   
   "1630 Revello" - a clear mistake of continuity.   
      
      
   3   
   The Real House Was Used For Some Interior Shots   
      
   The house used for exterior shots of the Summers' home is located in   
   Torrence, California. Although most of what we see inside Buffy's beloved   
   home is a set, there are some scenes in Season 1 that were shot inside the   
   real house.   
      
   There's a trick to determine whether what you're seeing is on set or the   
   actual house: there's a bend in the stairs. The bend in the set-built   
   staircase is at a 90-degree angle, whereas the bend in the actual house is   
   rounded.   
      
      
   2   
   Unwanted Guests Are Very Often Accidentally Invited Inside   
      
   There are countless times an unknowing Scooby member or adjacent ally   
   welcomes a vampire into the Summers' home. Fans will know that a vampire   
   cannot enter a building without an invitation. Unfortunately, the vampires   
   of Sunnydale know very well how to manipulate naive humans.   
      
   Joyce Summers makes the mistake of inviting a vampire inside the house not   
   once, but two times. In Episode 7 of Season 1, we see the vampire Darla,   
   disguised as Buffy's classmate, welcomed inside by Joyce. Then again in the   
   premiere of Season 5, Dracula enters the home swiftly due to Joyce's earlier   
   invitation.

   Buffy's Banishment From The House Mirrors The Desertion Of Sunnydale   
      
   Towards the end of Season 7, the final season of the series, it is evident   
   that the show is building up to something big. By Episode 19, "Empty   
   Places," Sunnydale is a ghost town. Even the title of the episode gives   
   connotations of displacement and loss.
