I do know that the Northbrook Court scenes were filmed earlier the same day (it was fun seeing that slurpee attack filmed Again and Again and Again) and as many teens as were able were bussed to a nearby location for the Party Party exterior shots - My 18 year old face is clearly visible up front.... but only the exterior ones. A few of us were also selected to make shadows on the Windows from the inside as establishing shots but John Hughes himself told us that the interiors would be filmed in LA... <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194902449691728680.post-62306075639272428232016-07-15T00:43:04.335-04:002016-07-15T00:43:04.335-04:00Where is the laser/popcorn set?Where is the laser/popcorn set?Spikestriphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06197597149735585939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194902449691728680.post-45762782545053678252015-11-16T23:33:22.136-05:002015-11-16T23:33:22.136-05:00I'm not convinced that the interior shots are ...I'm not convinced that the interior shots are from the Leonie Pray House. <br /><br />Jeff is absolutely correct that the house was at 280 Cedar Ave. All of the interior scenes seem to match the exterior shape and attributes of the house. (Locations of the windows, etc).<br /><br />When the crowd is outside (Party! Party!) you can see the interior doorway and closet behind Lisa, Gary, and Wyatt and they appear to match.<br /><br />I watched Donnie Darko and paused the movie in several locations trying to find some resemblance to the Highland Park house, I can't find anything. The curved staircase isn't a match either. Windows along the landings are missing, the mill work and wainscoting are way off.

I grew up just on the other side of the ravine behind that house and went by it every day on the bus to middle school. It was a sad day to see it torn down.
