SANTA CLARITA TRIBUBE, WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 1, 1979 D5

FILM | TOM SNYDER Schlock Director Sam Sylvia’s Blood Disco Sequel Takes Over Santa Clarita

At the stroke of dawn one of them will be randomly murdered in an increasingly grotesque fashion by a mysterious monster in a mirrored mask.

SANTA CLARITA—Portions of Bouquet Canyon Blvd were shut down this week while filming of Sam Sylvia’s new feature Blood Disco continued in Santa Clar- ita. The production utilized the street’s hometown feel to portray the fictional town of Bogden, Col- orado where the days seem inno- cent but the nights are filled with terror for the community’s night life. Many local residents lined up around the block in hopes to be chosen as townspeople back- ground or extras as is more commonly known. Some of the business owners at Boquet Can- yon and Valencia Blvd were lucky enough to offer their establish- ments as locations for the shoot. However, one business refused since the proprietor was deeply of- fended by Sylvia’s previous feature Swamp Maiden’s of the Viet Cong. road, the operational arm of the box office.
