I work at American Eagle as a sales associate. Sometimes we have to come in to do a floor set, its where you work 12am to 9am bring out the new seasons clothes. Sorry guys if Im ramblin :p.

Anyways when I go to lunch at 4am I like walking around eating my sub and going nuts over how cool this is. Way back at xmas I had my lunch on Santas chair :lol: In the last video when I get infront of best buy you can hear creepy music from a game or something.

I've always wanted to skateboard or rollerblade around one of those places and just go apeshit!

Looks like a mall would have a creepy vibe when it's empty.:stunned:

I'm not a big fan of malls because of the morons that often inhabit them, but there's something special about whistling "The Gonk" when shopping...

If you didn't slide down the handrails of an escalator you only cheated yourself. ;)

Years ago I worked for a Target as a
'flow team' member, which was basically
a 3rd shift 10pm-6am stocking and whatever
else they wanted.
This Target was an anchor store to a mall
so when our shift ended at 6, ususally u ended up staying until
6:30 cuz they opened at 7am and the night crew had to
be done and off the floor before the Tar-jay customers
came in.

Well other stores opened between 7am and 10 am.
So mall doors opened early, even if all stores
were not open.

When they opened the doors every morning it was
like a scene from DAWN as all the dreaded "mall walkers'
would come in.

And they would stand at the doors and even bang on
them to be let in. Then they would come in and wander
around like zombies. There were a few ppl i worked with
who had seen Dawn and we'd say stuff like "when theres
no more room in Hell the dead will walk the mall' and such.

Mall Walkers....they creep me out.

Did you take your meds this morning, Hells? I think it's safe to assume that everyone here have seen Dawn.:p

Isn't that a pre-requisite to joining this place?


But yeah, who amongst us hasn't had the mall all to ourselves fantasy. (Second only to my Jessica Alba All to myself fantasy, of course. :D )

I would like to drive a car through the mall. And it would look like someone going crazy on Grand Theft Auto. Bodies flying everywhere.:D

I don't know about bodies but perhaps manequins will give you a similar thrill whithout the added burden of prison time. Just a thought. :D

I actually meant I would hit them if they were zombies. But your way works too. Dead or alive....look out for the compact car zooming through the mall...

Where I live there's a mall that is all but deserted. You don't need to wait until 1 AM. You can get that creepy Dawn feeling at 7 PM on a Friday night. :(

And, yes, I always have the Gonk playing in my head as I go there. No, I have never slid down the escalator. And I have cheated myself.

As the saying goes, post a link or it didn't happen !! :p :lol:

Don't feel bad, as many of us have not indulged in that guilty pleasure either. But it's definitely on my bucket list.

Yeah, I used to get that in retail too. Hours clearly posted on the door, yet 1/2 a dozen would show up an hour or so early, wander across the parking lot, bang on the doors & peer in the windows. It was eerily zombie like. By opening time you could sometimes get a crowd of 20+, shuffling aimlessly about. & when those doors opened...another eerie zombie moment as they came flooding in.....:eek:

Which is the genius of DOTD. Anyone who can't appreciate that is either in denial or isn't paying attention.

I was doing a job moving a safe one time (and by job, I actually mean job...not a heist) which had us in a mall jewelry store before shopping hours. They had the mall walkers and instant thought was Dawn of the Dead. Had a couple guys laughing at the comparison.

I was at the Monroeville Mall for the Dawn screening (I left the YouTubes on here a while back) and the screening was afterhours so the mall was obviously closed. You could wander a little ways down one of the corridors...that was pretty awesome.

Funny... very funny... I have a single story mall here so there's no chance of that... so glad i'm moving :D But I have been i the mall at 3am and the mall cops are usually there so there's no real chance of fun... not when Paul Blart is your mall cop and he's always trying to write citations for the most stupid of things...
