The mall is locked for the night and the killbots are on patrol. Chopping Mall (1986) traps a group of teens after hours with three security robots that have stopped taking orders. Kelli Maroney and Barbara Crampton star, Jim Wynorski directs, and it plays on VHS, the way it hit the rental shelf.

Glam Stroker hosts. Before the feature we play the new short Mall Video Store (2026, Nick Nummerdor and Andrew J. Morgan, Little Cabin Films, 23 minutes) and one of our preshows of vintage trailers, commercials, and oddities from the archive. Tickets online or at the door.

• 5:30 p.m. Free VHS swap in the lobby. Bring tapes, take tapes.
• 7 p.m. The short Mall Video Store, our preshow, then Chopping Mall.
