Would you believe I spent a half-hour working that one out?

Yes, I would! I've labored to put classic stories into new contexts myself, and I've also fit "Weird Al" style new lyrics to songs. Not an easy thing, to work with someone else's material!

You are doing a fine job of taking the p**s out of everyone in both the film and the Buffy 'verse, while maintaining the shape of the film. Well done. This is such fun.

Thank you!

I figure it's about 30% straight dialog from the movie, another 30% what the characters might really say, and the rest is as much spoof and goofiness and bad writing as I can possibly stuff in.

Of course Xander was going to be the lead, but I took some time figuring out the rest of the characters. The epiphany came when Spike became the Chief of Police. Can you imagine what James Marsters would have really done with that role?! Probably a lot funnier than presented here, that's for sure.
