Chopping Mall

Stop what you are doing right now and watch this movie! It is available on Amazon Prime and on Tubi TV app. This film is one of those cheesy 80s horror films that is so bad its good. I have seen this film at least 5 times, totally worth the watch, more than likely better drunk, but enjoyable either way. Chopping Mall is about a group of young shopping mall employees stay behind for a late night party in one of the stores. When the mall goes on lock-down before they can get out, the robot security system malfunctions, and goes on a killing spree. It's from 1986 and is an American science-fiction comedy horror film co-written and directed by Jim Wynorski, produced by Julie Corman, and starring Kelli Maroney, Tony O'Dell, John Terlesky, and Russell Todd. While it was not a commercial or critical success, the film has gained a cult following since its release.


Chopping Mall Bloody Orange Julius – A Throwback to the 80’s! (thehomicidalhomemaker.com):

  • 8 fl oz freshly-squeezed blood orange juice
  • 1 T vanilla-flavored coffee syrup
  • 1 T dry vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 1-2 C crushed ice
  1. Measure out 8 fl oz of freshly-squeezed blood orange juice, 1 T of vanilla-flavored coffee syrup, 1 T dry vanilla instant pudding mix, and 1-2 C of crushed ice.
  2. Place all ingredients in blender, and blend until frothy.
  3. You may need to add more or less ice, depending on how icy you like it (1-2 C seemed to be the best amount). Serve immediately.
  4. If you can't find blood oranges in your area – don't worry! This recipe is just as delicious with regular freshly-squeezed orange juice. If you'd still like that blood-red color, add a little red food coloring, pomegranate juice, or grenadine.
