After, a two year absence, I made a return to the best horror convention in the world,
Chiller Theatre!!! The last time I was there, I went with my friend Alan, and later on, we met up with Kristin and Erika. This was in Oct 2011, the Sunday right before Sandy hit, and we had to leave pretty quickly. This was also the first one at the new place, the Sheraton hotel in Parsipanny, NJ (where it has been held ever since). Since then, I had not gone back till this past Sat, April 26, 2014.
This time around, I was joined by Matt, Pat, and Freddie. We had not bought tickets in advance, so we had to wait in line... to get wristbands... to go on another line to get tickets... so that we finally get inside. We waited four hours to get in!!! It's never been like this, but once we did get in, we had a blast!!
The first person I went up to was the beautiful porn legend and all around MILF
Amber Lynn. I had a film for her to sign,
Mommy Blows Best 10, which had an Amber Lynn in it, that wasn't her. Needless, to say she wasn't very happy about this! Though, she was angry at the filmmakers, not I. In fact, she was very sweet and pleasant to me. I really wish more classic porn stars would do Chiller. They have had others in the past, but I just wish they would appear more often! Anyway, Amber ended up signing a sexy 8x10 of hers for me.
From there I met the beautiful
Sarah Butler of the awesome
I Spit on Your Grave remake. She is so cool and fan friendly, in person. She talked to us for a good amount of time, about being in a remake to a classic movie that has become accepted by the hardcore fans, like ourselves. I admitted to her to being one of those fans who didn't think they could pull it off. She also talked to us about how it was shooting those emotionally difficult scenes and signed my blu-ray of said movie. Finally, she told us to keep an eye open for her upcoming action movie,
Free Fall. I would also like to mention that she is even more beautiful in person. Butler is a true stunner.
The last celebrity I went up to is the still breathtakingly gorgeous Megan Ward. The star of movies like
Freaked and
Amityville: It's About Time, I had THE biggest crush on her as a teen. I was taken by just how beautiful she still is, but even more so by just how sweet she is. She talked to us for a good half-hour or so! We talked about how awesome
Freaked is, including how it was meant for to be even more in the film and be longer, but the budget ran out, and about the aforementioned
Amityville sequel (she signed the DVD of for me), which definitely ranks among the best in the series. We also talked about the rest of the series and the real town. Ward is so pleasant and friendly in person, that I don't know if I have the words to give her enough compliments. I also may have been in love by the time it was all over!
Autographs I got from the three beauties mentioned above.
From then on in it was shopping and random fun time!
This is all swag that I got.
WWF and wrestling classic superstars pose for a killer pic.
After coming back from dinner it was time for the classic Chiller Theatre party, which is one of the things that has always set it apart from other shows and makes it such a great time!
My friends and I ready for a kick ass time!
As is the tradition the
Dead Elvi rocked the house, along with various guests joining them.
Ronee Blakely, the mom of A Nightmare on Elm Street, belts out a tune with the Dead Elvi.
The Dead Elvi kick ass!!
This guy was cool as hell!
My favorite Chiller band,
Ingrid and the Defectors, were back to rock the house in another awesome performance. They are just so fucking kick ass, and Ingrid is a total hottie, as well as being very sweet in person.
As I said before, we had a fucking blast and hope to back for the next one in Oct!
One of the first things I did though was visit the Blast a Trooper for charity held by the 501st Legion. For those of you who may not know the 501st Legion are a large worldwide costume organization that have it's members wear imperial costumes. They do various public appearances, including being involved in charitable events, like this one. For three bucks you got to shoot 3 shots at an Imperial Trooper from a gun. Pay ten bucks and you could use ten rounds from a gattling gun (both Nerf toys, by the way). Either way the money was for a good cause and went to the Make a Wish foundation. So, it was fun, for a good cause, and revolved around Star Wars, the Empire, no less. How could I not have partaken in this?
Since I you had to get on line to get a ticket, to able to get on a later line to purchase stuff at the Funko booth, this pic with me and Funko Freddy was about as close as I got all week to going in the booth. But, it sums up NYCC in that I couldn't get to any exclusives, yet, I still gave the con "thumbs up"!
There were other booths and toys I saw, though. Among them was the Amok Time booth, a great booth for getting your Funko Pops at 10 bucks, a pop (pun intended!)! Anyways, the point is I found some great toys for fellow horror fans, including lots for the zombie lover in all of us. Toys and props inspired by Day of the Dead, Re-Animator, and Return of the Living Dead were present and exclusive to them!
First off let's start with this hottie to the right. She was wearing a Miss New Jersey sash, but I don't know if she actually won or competed in said beauty pageant. Based on my research and asking others she isn't, but who knows (note if you do know, please let me know with a comment below!). Whatever the case maybe, I think she is a total babe, and I would imagine she's at least actually from Jersey. There are quite a bit of hotties in that state, so that is good enough for me!
Let's bookend this part with the most adorable cosplyer of the day, this little beagle dressed as Darth Vader. I swear I wanted to hug the crap out of her! And, yes, it's a she! I thought it was a boy, being dressed as Vader and whatnot. Apparently she was a Minion the following day. But, I missed her (insert sad face!). Actually, I could have sworn I have seen her before at this con, at an earlier year. Either way, the point is she is too freaking adorable!!!
