"Filming will start later today. Not sure exactly when, no one I talked to seems to know for sure, but lots of activity," said Henderson by email. "Eighty extras getting signed in and going to make up/hair, including 2010 graduate Erin Jackson ... There are 120 crew members, including several people decorating the Mosaic hallway with Halloween decorations and installing lighting equipment."

It is unlikely roads will be blocked off and filming will be inside the school, she said.

People may have noticed trailers and trucks parked in various Cleveland Heights-University Heights school lots during the past few weeks. The district will receive $5,500 for use of the facilities. 

Just a few weeks ago, Coventry was with pumpkin banners, fake multicolored leaves and other fall-themed decorations to prepare for filming. The street was for about 12 hours during each day of filming. And homes on  were also draped in Halloween garb for the movie. Cars drove slowly past, causing parade-like traffic on the normally sleepy, tree-canopied street.

Henderson said that the managers on set are impressed with the staff and the beautiful details in the building. She's taking photos, but they are confidential until after the movie is released in October 2012.
