The mall's spookier side appears as horror movie film crew uses Uptown Janesville for film shoot

Hello, Rock County! Here are your top Monday headlines: The Uptown Janesville mall has been haunted by an increase in kids who are involved in youth hockey and other sports at the adjacent Woodman’s Center, but that’s not very spooky. At least, not as spooky as what’s been going on in the background. Local residents have been talking for weeks about a Wisconsin shopping mall that serves as the filming location for a new, as-yet-unreleased horror film, ”The Space Between.” They say stills and snippets from the film shown in internet teases make it clear: From the concourse’s walkways, to the mall’s center court, it’s clear that the movie was filmed at the Uptown Janesville mall. The talk is true. The Elkhorn-based Career and College Academy received a $1.035 million grant for its YouthBuild grant , which gives students hands-on training for work in the trades. Do you have a story you'd like the Gazette to follow? Let us know with an email to The Gazette's City Editor, Neil Johnson at neil@gazettextra.com!
