I think I only saw this film once many years ago until a friend prodded me into watching it again. I was surprised at the brutality of the film, much like a lot of the 80's exploitation flicks. On my recent trip, I didn't get to all of the locations for the film yet, in particular the Hollywood Boulevard ones (yuck!), but here are a few to start you off.

First up is the opening scene house. There is now a privacy gate and foliage blocking a good shot of the house, but here it is...

When she goes out for her night of vengeance, she backs out to go to the creep's house in the first scene.. which is actually just across the street, no need to get in the car!

The paint store actually used to be located across the street from its original location, so I included shots of both here...

On IMDB, they incorrectly list the cemetery as being in Inglewood, it is actually the Evergreen Cemetery, best know for it's appearance in the Nightmare on Elm Street films...

UPDATE June 2014: I got around to some more locations on my most recent trip, check 'em out below!

First up is The Supply Sergeant, still going strong on Hollywood Boulevard...
