It's no secret I'm a horror movie fiend, and last weekend I was scratching that itch by watching the remake of 'Dawn of the Dead.' With us being in a pandemic, and a surely infectious, zombie-creating vaccine around the corner, it was a pretty relatable movie. The characters are stuck inside with nothing to do because they're surrounded by hordes of contagious monsters on the outside.
What really struck me was the name of the setting: Crossroads Mall.
That brought me back to my adolescent scheming fantasies when my friends and I were mall rats and constantly figured out our gameplan to inhabit that mall when the eventual zombie infestation happened. With the way the world is going, there's no telling if COVID mutates and turns everyone into bloodthirsty undead, so it's time to figure out where the best places to go are.
