Chiller Theatre: April 2023

This past weekend, April 28-30, 2023, marked another edition of the greatest convention on God's green Earth: Chiller Theatre!! On Saturday, the 29th, my friend Freddie and I headed out, had an awesome time, and met some amazing guests!

The first person that I went up to was the lovely Julia Nickson, who is best remembered for her role as Rambo's doomed love interest in the action classic Rambo: First Blood Part II. That's been one of my favorite movies ever since I was a little kid, so I was super excited to meet her. She was all smiles and sweet in person, as well as being still beautiful.

The two people I was most excited to meeting were the Scream bathroom girls. Their bitchy and mean role may have been short, but they're unforgettable! Plus, I had a little bit of a crush on them as a college student seeing the movie. First was the gorgeous Leonora Scelfo who played the cheerleader. She was fucking awesome in person! Very sweet and fun to talk to, she was also still stunning. She talked to us about her interest in being in Terrifier 3, but that she, herself, wasn't into horror. It really doesn't matter, cause she is too sweet a lady.

The lovely Nancy Anne Ridder was other girl of the two. She was soooo sweet in person! Seriously, she was wonderfully bubbly, friendly, and humble in person. She was flattered that I had a crush on both of them, and that they were the ones that I mosted wanted to meet. She let my bud, Freddie, get in on the first pic and just me in the second one. I swear both of these beautiful ladies are fucking awesome to meet!

Speaking of crushes, Lisa Fuller, a Horror Crush inductee was up next for me. I told her about how The Monster Squad has been one of my favorite movies ever since I was a little kid, how I had a crush on her back then, and how I was so happy she was finally doing cons! She was super sweet in person still so beautiful!

In keeping with the childhood crush theme of the day, the last person, I went up to on my own was the gorgeous Olivia D'Abo, That was thanks to Conan: The Destroyer, of course. It took a while to meet her, but she was worth the wait thanks to her being so sweet in person. And, she is still absolutely gorgeous.

My friend Freddie met Richard Young, best known from being in the prologue to the classic Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade. He is the guy who gets the crucifix that young Indy (the late, great River Phoenix) tries to get back. Young's character inspired his look movie, as the story goes. Anyway, I got to get in Freddie's pic with him.

We stayed a little for the party but were tired and didn't catch much. We did see Richie Scarlet who was back and was as awesome as ever!

The stuff that I bought there were:
A Screem magazine pack, which got me: Monster from Green Hell Blu-ray (which I've never seen but have been curious about)
Freeway 4K from Vinegar Syndrome booth. This is the first time that is uncut!! I am so pumped to watch this classic again!! That's something I haven't done in many years.

The autographs that I got at Chiller are:
Nancy Anne Ridder and Leonora Scelfo- Scream- Aside, from them being awesome as fuck, tell me their autographs are the coolest ever!
Lisa Fuller- The Monster Squad

And, so another Chiller ended, one that was one of the most fun times that I've had in a while. But, we shall be back in October! Did any of you guys go? If so who did you meet? Let me know in the comments section below.

Horror Crush: Lisa Fuller

Today we have the first induction into this site's Horror Crushes section for 2018: the gorgeous Lisa Fuller!

Lisa Fuller was born in 1966. She did some TV work, before making her big screen debut in the cult classic The Monster Squad.

Sometimes compared to the inferior The Goonies, this horror comedy, directed and co-written, along with Shane (Lethal Weapon) Black, by Fred (Night of the Creeps) Dekker was a box office bomb when it came out in 1988. But, it would go to major cult status later on. The tale of a group of kids teaming up to battle Dracula and his fellow classic monster friends (the Wolf-Man, the Gill-Man, and the Mummy), it manages to be funny, fun, and sweet. Yet, its' villains remain an actual threat to them, and they are taken seriously. There is a true love for the Universal classic horror movie monsters, but with a bit of modern splatter and flawless FX, by Stan Winston throw in.

Fuller, play's the sister one of said kids, Patrick. They need a virgin to read the magical words to open a portal to blast the monsters to limbo. So, they get her to do just that. Monster Squad has been a favorite of mine since I was a little kid. Over the years, my love for it has grown even more. Fuller is good in her role, and like the the film, I have loved her since childhood.

In fact, I had a super crush on her when I first saw it. She has a bombshell of a body, which would secure her the role of the hot blonde in her future movies. She ain't nude in this, being you know a PG-13 movie and all, but she is in her bra and panties (cue former WWE Raw commentator Jerry Lawler screaming, "Bra and panties!").

A year later, in 1989, she appeared in a direct to video anthology flick named Terrifying Tales. Any of you ever seen this one?

She also appeared in an episode of Freddy's Nightmares from the first season called School Daze. I don't remember shit about this episode, but this series was usually pretty lame, so...

That same year of '89, she did one more horror movie, her final genre role, playing Joanie Snowland one of the bullies who get zombified in the often forgotten horror flick Night Life. I saw this when it first hit VHS, so all I recall is that it was fun, had good gore, and with Fuller and Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Live hottie victim Darcy DeMoss in it, definitely had the hot babes department fulfilled.  

These days Fuller is a talent agent, wife, and mom. She will always be one of my favorite babes, if only for my childhood crush on her in Monster Squad. Blonde, beautiful, and with a body to for, it is with great love and honor that I add Lisa Fuller to this site's Horror Crushes!
