Sunnydale
Bright hollow toponym
Sunnydale is the fictional California town where the television series *Buffy the Vampire Slayer* is set.
Built atop a Hellmouth—a portal attracting supernatural evil—it became synonymous with the show's blend of teenage drama and monster-slaying: Welcome to Sunnydale, where the mortality rate is suspiciously high.
The name's ironic cheerfulness against its dark reality captures the series' tone.
