Frederick Towne Mall, Frederick Maryland
UPDATE : Mall has been revamped with a new theatre and management is trying to lure in new tenants. - บันเทิง
Who the fuck opened the door? 4:27
I went to the new theater this past weekend. SO the way you came into the old abandoned part of the mall at 1:00 that has been blocked off now, by the new Theater alongside the fact that much of that portion now is the new theatre where Hoyts Cinema was, alongside the entrance all way at the end of the hall is the new Theater entrance. The New Theater is really nice and is a high end viewing experience, with sofa recliner theatre seating and full bar. I remember growing up as a little kid starting in the early 2000s seeing Fredrick Towne mall slowly die. Starting in around 2002 of the mall being my earliest memories to when the mall finally died in 2011/2012. The main factors that lead to the Mall dying was the increase in crime in that part of Fredrick MD, along with changing demographics of that area and the fact that you have competition from Fredrick Scott Key Mall located off of Buckeystown pike in Fredrick MD on the intersections of I-270 and I-70 which are two major freeways for people traveling to work in and Around Baltimore or Washington DC . FSK Mall also had all the major shopping chains inside were as Fredrick Towne Mall was slowly loosing tenants, which had moved over to FSK Mall. I remembered the JC Penny's or the Macy's being in Fredrick Towne then in the mid-2000s it relocating to FSK Mall as it had way better traffic at the time.
Dan is one the best documentary channels their is, he let's the video tell the story with a true eerie feel you only get from these places, like you are alone but not, the quite vapor wave really helps too give the atmosphere of the ghosts of the past when they were full of people Buying pants and grabbing a coffee only for it to end up a shell of it's former self.
A reminder that everything decays and dies.
I started watching Dan Bell when I was in my first grade of High School. Now I'm in College and I'm still very much a loyal viewer.
Nobody films better than Mr. Bell!
Dan you were brave entering such a deserted place with only an extendable fluffy duster to hand! Beautiful frieze depicting history of the subway. Amazing place with an oppressive, claustrophobic feel like the Overlook without slaughtered twins and such. Thanks for your work Dan, quality. 😊❤️
Glad to hear that there is an attempt to being this mall back to life.
It was my idea to save that Mall that I went to from May of 1985 to April of 2013.
"We were just here to see Fifty Shades of Grey, oh this theater isn't open? Our bad."
You had me at the old Subway wallpaper, but holy hell, Dan...
The music in the background is so good! Adds a creepy ambiance to the video. I am glad these videos are getting remastered, it looks great! 👍
The music at start is from dawn of the dead 🤣🤣🤣
The first 8 mins or so is all from the 1978 Dawn of the Dead@@dot2562
This mall was so spooky to see, for one i thought you were ghost hunting in the place, at first, the place looked like a post apocalyptic movie where every human except for a few are still surviving, and living inside the mall to escape possible zombies or a race of vampires that are able to withstand the light of day, or even mutants like The X-Men that are trying to erase what remains of the human survivors, so they can rule the world, but to see all the broken glass, and the barricades that were broken into, it is so messed up, but the theaters were very spooky out of everything in that mall, to see the lights still on, and the screens gone was a little disturbing, yet it all was so cool to see in the way it was left abandoned in the way it was.
Another classic Dan Bell video. Thank You for remastering it Dan! This is so amazing!!
One of my favorite Dan Bell videos of all time! So glad to see it was remastered!
Damn I haven’t seen that Subway interior in so long lol! Back when Subway was actually good lol!
I remember watching this the first time when y'all started filming and vid from inside the hair salon, Excellent vid 👌
... eerie carnival music helps make the exploration of the mall seem more disturbing
What is up with that bike all caught up? Weird
Great content. In one of these forums I'd love to see a creative exchange between talented, creative, experienced engineers, economists and planners about mall redevelopment. In hindsight malls seem to have a huge investment and a very short life span. Economies and consumers have dramatically changed seemingly killing off all mall viability. Can they be creatively repurposed/retrofitted or should they be demolished as quickly as possible to redeploy the real estate? What are some of the redevelopment failures as well? Big box (i.e. Amazon) warehousing? Recreational fun park? Education, business, medical repurpose? I know there have been some experiments that have failed as well.
This is by far your creepiest episode yet
I would be tempted to do all the things your not supposed to do in a mall like ride a bike through or use heelies and loiter.
Cool beans, best one yet! The whole video is very surreal. 😎
So many ghosts in this video, so many!! The entire thing just reeks of death an impending calamity! 😵
Damn,there's nothing more skin crawling about an empty place than music playing. Especially that kind 😳
I live like 5 mins away from this mall, ive always been interested to see the inside now that its been abandoned
Nice to see a new Upload from you Dan hope your doing well
Saving Ryan's Privates! I remember that movie!
I used to live right by this mall, my family would go here frequently. When they first built the Boscovs they had this huge window with these colorful illuminated panels, it looked so majestic to young me. Also ate at that Long John Silver's way too many times.
So sad to see, I use to shop in that mall and go see movies at the theater when I was a little girl early 90s
the music playing is creepy
That was one of my childhood malls. It started to decline rapidly in the early 2000s. The restaurant at 13:45 was a Roy Roger’s and was my favorite place to eat! The interior looked exactly like it does in your video. Even the trash cans.
This was a nice mall years ago. Boscov's still has a store on one end and Home Depot at the other. I believe the movie theatre reopened. An Indian restaurant is on the side and something opened I believe where the CVS was. These places all have outside entrances. It could make a comeback. A lot of people from the DC suburbs are moving in. I'm not sure that's a good thing though.
I forgot that this one had some awesome Dawn of the Dead music!!! 🎵 🤩
Damn an original subway
Do you add the creepy musack or is that on in the mall? I notice the power is on I mean I would have left it on full blast on the last day. Either way it gives it an awesome eerie effect.
So so eerie!!
Hoyts cinemas is based in Australia altogether here
DOTD...nice music choices.
Ummm. Who is that in the reflection of the mirrors at 5:42 to 5:45? I grew up at this mall with so many memories of it at the fullest. I do not feel it is haunted in the least, but I would like an explanation of that time which of course occurred in the last known location of the store Spencers at 5:37 which sold many "irregular" items - thinking this might have been planned. Why is there still power and lighting if this was such a very eerie place? I remeber the subway shop based alone on the wall paper shown at 3:08. The reflection off the back mirrors seems to show an individual in a white accentuated tee shirt. Not a ghost. There was a convivence store near there that I can't remember the name of at this time, but it is where I bought many of my comic books from. I remember Zales being open where the shattered glass was at 6:07 . I am surprised that there is still plants growing in there which would suggest that there has been some care here in the mean time. Oooh. JC Penny's at the center and the magnificent Christmas displays (at 6:40) which there are still remnants from. I also remember a relatively well known German restaurant which I think you filed around 10:20. Boscors was Sears when I remember it. There used to be a bookstore near the Sears and I can't remember the name and there was a Toy's R Us store there at one point. Nothing sinister about this even with the added music in the background. Lots of great memories and sadness that it closed down as this was a truly great mall. Now also remembering the great ice cream shop that was located in the center but I am so much having a problem remebering the name... It was not Baskin Robins. Went there so many times to have a cool relief in the summer. Anyways, thanks the the memory lane.
I love the use of the music also used int he Dawn of the Dead mall MUZAK
This place is giving me the creeps.
Looks like a great place to film a music video
This is incredible.
Why are there just a few random lights still on?
There is a Boscov’s and Home Depot attached to this mall and they are all on the same power grid.
I am coming here in a day or to do you know if everything thing is still like this in the video?
why are some of the ligths still on?
I like to play this game what year did it close by using your video clues. I watched one die in my town back in 1998. The other one is showing signs nascar shirt store opened up, an incense new age shop and a leather craft store. You’ve inspired me to take some videos of my malls gradual decline.
That mall has definitely been closed a while Hoyts hasn't had theaters in the US for years.
Malls and many malls should be renovated or configured to be a permanent mall with numerous features, for them not to end up in such decline. This is an example of retail mall capitalism. Newer concepts and management of malls for excellent investments that provides employment for its people/citizens/state that are lease to own, rent to own for them to be maintained/repaired and not abandoned. Developments for the coming years, private and public sectors attested, 2022 onwards. DON'T DELETE this is important. Thank you.
This is the second video ive seen of this man's channel where a door opens up as he gets close to it
If the mall was abandoned, why was the electricity still running?
I heard that it's to power some larger stores that are attached to the mall and still open.
This is just a little bit of clever editing away from being a "liminal horror" found-footage classic
Dan this is one of the best dead malls in a while. I feel like I'm in the back rooms.
Spent adolescent years here wards on 1end and penny's on the other
I know this mall, I use to go shopping there and even saw some of movies there too..
These Malls are probably what America will look like in 20 years
It different now 3/2024. Brand new movie theater. Bowling Alley is coming soon. There is talk of getting skating ring and go carts.
dude the aesthetic of that movie theater HIT DIFFERENT, still wish they had that 80's - early 2000's look instead of this modern simplified garbage of the last 10 years
A look at when we're all gone here.
The alien life forms who discover this deserted planet in the vast future are going to have a hell of a good time trying to figure us out.
Who needs the "backrooms" when you got the Dead Mall Series?
someone should team up with dan to make an urbex horror game
Dawn of the dead mall music 🤣🤣🤣
slow it down to .25 speed and look at 18.29 to where the movie screen would have been. something moves across left to right.
Anyone hear thunder at 12:40?
It’s as if time was frozen still. I’m not walking into this place with anything less than a lightsaber- there I said it! 😳
i think of Lionel Richie song hello is it me you're looking fot lol😅😅 when Dan says hello
This makes me want to be eaten alive by a rabid Chuck E Cheese animatronic!!
Who is John and why did he own every store?
That Hallmark store was actually the last one. The mall shut down before John was ready and he sold the last of his inventory through his service door.
It used to be 'John's Hallmark'
I find it amazing thE Such a Devastated Abandoned Mall still has so much electricity turned on ,must be costing t!he owners thousands unnecessarily proper strange unless it's left on for dereliction workers
Theres actually a huge movie theatre thats half-connected to where the food court used to be, so im thinking some power is still on because of that place
Heavy breathing asmr
There is people working at the boscovs which is were I work 😂
FYE that is fucking hysterical...Transworld Music Corporation had to pad shrink figures to stay solvent, even during the "good times"...
How is he able to get in and turn lights on and off? Most abandoned commercial buildings are locked up and patrolled by security. And if it’s so easy to get in why isn’t it trashed out and covered in graffiti and homeless? Finally, what’s that Muzak in the background?
4:26 ???
0:07:00 rewatching some of the older episodes, after that semi new one dropped on here. it occurs to me that the glass smashing and dicks painters have not yet arrived.
Wouldn't it be nice if they turned there's malls in to housing
Needs more Zombies to be a dead mall, just saying...
I was a manger there
Display guy set up Fashion Valley Broadway san diego 67 monoman
An entrepreneur should come in, buy them up across the country and turn them into retirement homes.
Oh I wish someone knew what store that originally was at 14:28 ! Anybody?
I remember this question coming up when this video was originally posted, and now I don't remember!
I think it was some clothing store called “Brookes” but I’m not positive.
I used to do security at this mall. I left in 1999 to join the Army. I met my wife here (not in this particular store; she worked at Earring Tree, Piercing Pagoda, and Bon Ton).
I might be mistaken, but it was a store which sold little old-timey curios and gifts. Can't recall the name unfortunately.
Give it 2 years no more malls.. all over.. sad....
It's not the fact that the mall is empty and almost destroyed.. it's that sick-A$$ heavy breathing sh*t that's so disturbing!
TH-camrs can get arrested for breaking and entering into a private property if a business Like The mall if it's no longer open to the public and it's closed permanently then you go inside without permission that means you're breaking the law and technically they could use the video against you in a court of law that means you'll be arrested and charged and probably do a few months and county jail or state prison before you do three types of videos you should get permission from whoever owns the property even though it's no longer open to the public you may think it's abandoned but somebody still owns the property and if they see the video on TH-cam of you on private property which is close to the public that means you're committing a crime I do not recommend this people breaking the law if you break the law like this you deserve to be in prison for the Rest of your Life
Ok, Karen.
ok officer jackwweed!
That’s the longest run-on sentence I’ve seen quite a while.
Who asked
You should be imprisoned for crimes against punctuation
I just reported this video to the local police Department For Trespassing I also notify the property owner of you breaking and entering into his private property he saw the video and he will be pressing charges
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
