During Halloween weekend in October, I attended both Chiller Theater and Chill Out Cons in Jersey. Both cons had names that I was excited to meet and were taking place the same weekend only 5 minutes apart.
I start Friday with Chiller Theater. First, I get Dave Davies of the Kinks. Upgrading my photo op from years ago where his eyes are closed. Then Marc McLure who played Jimmy Olsen in the Christopher Reeves Superman movies and also from Back to the Future. Sadly, I anticipate this will be the last name I ever meet from the Christopher Reeves Superman.
From the Night of the Living dead area I get photo ops with Belinda Balaski, Dick Heckard, Terry Gindele, Judith Ridley, Sharon Carroll, and Gary Streiner.
Then I get OG SNL cast member Garrett Morris. Then one of my top wants from Chiller Mimi Rogers (Austin Powers), Sheree J. Wilson (Dallas, Walker Texas Ranger), Donna Mills (Play Misty for Me), and Bill Smitrovich (Life Goes On, Miami Vice).
Next one of the last names I never met from Terminator 2, child actor DeVaughn Nixon (also in The Bodygyard) and John D LeMay from Friday the 13th fame. Ended the evening with Ricky Byrd of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts fame.
Saturday starts at Chill Out. First up is Marcus Chong from The Matrix. Then one of my top wants for this show, Tracy Scoggins from Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. Next I get actor Whip Hubley (Top Gun, Species) and dual and single shots with Catherine Bell (JAG) and James Denton (Face/Off).
The only wrestling name I would get from that con would be Cyndi Snow. She was the Godfather Ho who won the Hardcore championship. She had a stupid Halloween outfit, but at least she didn't charge for photo ops. I guess free is free. Ended my time at Chill Out with Vanessa Marcil from Beverly Hills 90210 fame.
Went back to Chiller to round off a few more names. I got Taral Hicks (A Bronx Tale), Joyce Bulifant (The Happiest Millionaire, Airplane!) who looks fantastic for 88, Phil Morris (Mission: Impossible), and Steve Railsback (Helter Skelter). After this I would promptly leave Jersey and head towards home to try for Carlos Santana.
