But in 1992, five years prior to fans becoming obsessed with Sunnydale and the Scoobies, a different version of Buffy’s story hit the big screen. The same broad strokes are there; the script is by (now-disgraced) Buffy series creator Joss Whedon, and it follows a chipper blonde named Buffy saving the world from monsters. But it’s go
