Attack of the Bee Girls at CalArts

CalArts Entrance Looking Across McBean Parkway

The ranch-type fence across the street was fake, a faux rural prop of the Newhall Land and Farming Company. Once it dipped out of sight, the fence ended, the began again as it rose up the other hill.

The Evil Brandt Corporation, AKA CalArts

That looks like Michael Asher's Bug on the left, but then, they all look alike.

CalArts' Lobby

From 1972, when this film was shot, until the Northridge earthquake, the school pretty much looked the same.

Outside the Bijou Theater

Of all the movies shot at CalArts, Invasion of the Bee Girls made use more locations on and around the campus.

In the Library Stacks

The poles are the hydraulic lifts for the floor of the Modular Theater, one floor above.

A Naked Couple Having Sex While Rolling Down the Same Hill

Oh, for the days of gratuitous nudity!

CalArts' Library as Cocktail Lounge

If they actually served cocktails, I probably would have got more reading done.

CalArts Photo Lab as Chemistry Lab

Toss in a Schlenk line and you're good to go!

Entrance Behind the President's Office

The requisite creepy night shot.

Fourth Floor Hallway around the Modular Theater

There's now a ramp on the short flight of stairs; the elevator next to Gallery A402 is in the rear of the shot.

Inside the Mod

I give Invasion of the Bee Girls two thumbs up for most extensive use of the CalArts Campus, and
outstanding use of gratuitous nudity. There's even a gay character who's not a sociopath!
