What's Happening?
The comic series 'Dead Mall' by Adam Cesare and artist David Stoll is set to be adapted into a feature film by production company Not the Funeral Home. Screenwriter Michael Varrati will write the screenplay, drawing from Cesare's original story notes.
The story follows five teenagers who explore a local mall before its demolition, only to find it inhabited by a cosmic horror. The adaptation aims to transform the familiar setting of a mall into a nightmarish maze. Not the Funeral Home, known for projects like 'The Last Drive In With Joe Bob Briggs,' is excited to bring this horror story to life.

This move could attract fans of the original comic and horror enthusiasts, potentially boosting interest in similar adaptations. The film's production could also impact the horror film industry by introducing new storytelling techniques and visual effects inspired by the comic's unique setting and plot. Additionally, it provides opportunities for creative professionals involved in the project, from screenwriters to special effects artists.
