Probably the worst film set ever, if the initial scene is any indicator, it does seem they just dressed up a high school cafeteria with tables, chairs, and a stage. What was weirder was the fact that the director (or the set director) didn't take the time out to put a sheet or something over the food serving section so it wouldn't be visible on film!
shareWhat are you talking about? It had tinsel over the door! High school lunch rooms don't have tinsel on the door. Clearly an original set.
shareActually, the high school cafeteria set for Club Scum got me thinking that this might have been a high school or college film class project. Some enterprising guy got together some friends, wrote a goofy Gremlins-ripoff script and filmed it. Maybe the old janitor was his grandpa! If this were the case, give the kid his props! He did a hell of a job for an amateur! (Not that it's a good movie, by any standards, but still, it's got a kind of story line and it is kind of cheesy fun)!
shareMore or less how it went. Got some money together for puppets and film, then friends for actors, and houses/other public places for sets = you got a movie. This wasn't bad on a 'so bad it's good' level though. Reminded me of Ghoulies or Rhumplestiltskin...

Oh, well that explains nothing!
shareAccording to a recent interview with Rick Sloane in Screem magazine issue # 27, Club Scum was actually a club in West Los Angeles called The Music Machine. Moreover, it was the sole location that Sloane paid to use in the film. All the other locations were shot in sans permits.
