Chiller Theatre April 2025

This past weekend of April 25-27 was the latest edition of the April edition of Chiller Theatre. My friends and I went on that Saturday the 24th, and we had a truly epic time! The weather was kinda crappy with rain, including at least one down pour, but none of that ruined what was one of the greatest times of the year!

The first celeb that I went up was George Milhalka, the director of the awesome Canadian slasher My Bloody Valentine. He was really nice in person, talking to my friend Freddie and I for a bit. We learned that he is a fellow, big Vincent Price fan!

Up next for me was the lovely Suki Goodwin of the underrated and atmospheric Hell Night. Starring Linda Blair this 80's favorite is a good time to be had. Goodwin was a total babe in that movie, and she was definitely one of the people I was most pumped to meet. I am happy to say that she was awesome to meet! She is very sweet and still gorgeous.

Speaking of people that I was dying to meet the next two celebs, I didn't get a pic with. But, I got their autograph. First up was legendary heavy metal guitarist George Lynch. The former lead guitarist of Dokken and various other bands, including Lynch Mob, his horror connection comes through the classic title track "Dream Warriors", from A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors. And, let me tell you he was THE most awesome guest of the weekend! He was funny, friendly, and cool as fucking hell! He joked with me and told me some wild and awesome tales, including that classic tale of Dokken snorting coke off of the Freddy glove on the set of the classic video for the aforementioned "Dream Warriors"! Seriously, Lynch fucking rocks!

I did the same with another celeb I was dying to meet. He was the one, that excited me the most the minute they announced him: Muse Watson. He's best known for playing Ben Willis the Fisherman of I Know What You Did Last Summer. He was nice in person, and seemed to be taken back by all the love that his classic slasher character has.

And, speaking my autographs here are all that I got at this show:
Hell Night: Suki Goodwin
Queens of Scream/ I Know What You Did Last Summer: Muse Watson
Nightmare on Elm Street Collection/ A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors: George Lynch
My Bloody Valentine: George Milhalka

There were some really cool statues and props in the some of the rooms in Chiller, like these:

Not only did this dragon flap his wings, but he "breathed fire", too (actually his mouth lit up).

The Exorcist Regan head above is one of only two remaining heads actually from the classic movie! These props come courtesy of The Witch's Dungeon. My friend's and I seriously need to go to this museum dedicated to classic horror and sci-fi!

As the show itself was winding down, we went out to dinner. Of course, we came back for the party! And, man did we have a blast! This was the most fun that I have had,  since honestly I don't even remember! Also, since we were able to stay and chill for a long time, we could actually drink. And, in my case, I was happy drunk! Yay!

While, at the party, I ran into this awesome Daenerys from Game of Thrones cosplay by Jade Green. She was really cool and sweet, and I told her that she's gotta get pic with that aforementioned (and pictured!) dragon statue. She said that she would. I wonder if and hope she did.

Two of the actresses from Pitch Perfect were signing at Chiller. And, that night they were chilling at the party/ bar with their own friend. The other actress, Alexis Knapp, left early that night. But, Hana Mae Lee and their friend hung longer. My friend Alan and I got a pic with Lee. She and her friend were really awesome and down to earth. Lee also commented that she liked my look and told me to check out her goth band, Grave Condition. 

A little after that, it was soon time to go home after one hell of a night and awesome time!

Here is the swag that I got at Chiller:
From director Pete Jacelone's booth: Psycho Sisters (1998)

From Vinegar Syndrome's booth: Severance and Spoonful of Sugar
Got a copy of the latest issue of Screem magazine, which got me a free copy of Dick Tracy: RKO Pictures Collection:

This was another epic Chiller, and I already wish it was October for the next edition! Who among you went this weekend? What were your favorite memories? Let me know in the comments section below!
