Chopping Mall (1986)

Показать описание

The entire production started because producer Julie Corman (wife of Roger Corman) made a deal with Vestron Pictures to make a horror film set in a mall. So starting with the setting, they built the story from there. Before production began, there a press release came out claiming that the movie would star Linda Blair (The Exorcist). The film was shot at the Sherman Oaks Galleria, a real mall in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles (which is still open today).The same mall "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" was shot in.
Due to the low budget, they could only afford to shoot overnight when the mall was closed, as long as nothing was damaged. There were a total of 5 robots made. They were constructed out of a variety of items like wheelchair frames, pieces from conveyor belts, and plastic children’s toys for the arms.
