Chopping Mall is getting a novelization on November 19 via Encyclopocalypse Publications in association with Scream Factory. It will be published in paperback, mass market paperback, and e-book.
The 138-page adaptation is written by Brian G. Berry (The Barn: The Novelization), based on the screenplay for the 1986 cult classic by Jim Wynorski and Steve Mitchell.
High tech robots equipped with state-of-the-art security devices have been recruited as the new mechanical "night watchmen" for Park Plaza Mall. When a jolting bolt of lightning short circuits the main computer control, the robots turn into "killbots" on the loose after unsuspecting shoppers! Four couples are trying to make it after hours in a mattress store. They make it alright-in the morgue!
Chopping Mall's original motion picture soundtrack has been reissued on vinyl for the first time since its debut in 2014 via Waxwork Records. Composed by Chuck Cirino (The Return of Swamp Thing), the score is remastered from the original master tapes.
Priced at $32, the album is pressed on 180-gram neon pink and coke bottle green split colored vinyl with red splatter. It's housed in a gatefold jacket with film laminate gloss coating featuring artwork by We Buy Your Kids, liner notes by Cirino, and a 12x12 print.
