Chiller Theatre Halloween 2016

March 7th, 2017 by chocko

Hey stank azz zombies and all you mummies! It’s Chiller Theatre time once again..a biannual celebration of all things horror, sci-fi and everything else in between. It’s the ultimate toy, model and film expo you will kick yourself in the pants if you miss. Get up out of your coffins, shake out the cobwebs and head out to Parsippany, New Jersey from April 21 – 23 and party with all the NJ toxic hombres and Sasquatch mountain mamas. Chiller Theatre will be at a new Horror Hotel. Chiller’s back at the Hilton Parsippany Hotel! The guests this time around is a doozy- Fred “The Hammer” Williamson, Tom Savini, Bai Ling, Flavor Flav, a Fright Night reunion and so much more. There will be a special auction of some of Zacherle’s personal collection including his Cool Ghoul costume. Here’s a look back at Chiller Theatre in October 2016 through some photos and some videos below of some of the musical guests.

I didn’t stay too late on Saturday night when all the bands play. I saw The Dead Elvi play a great set of tunes that will haunt your brain, followed by former Rainbow and Deep Purple singer, Joe Lynn Turner belt out a few tunes. First The Dead Elvi accompanied JLT for some “Smoke On The Water” (Deep Purple) followed by “I Surrender” (Rainbow). There was a quick change in the lineup. Former members of Quiet Riot, Rudy Sarzo and Frankie Banali joined Joe but somehow, Joe’s guitarist went missing. A young guitarist was pulled from the crowd and the show was able to continue with “Highway Star” (Deep Purple) and after another guitarist joined the stage, JLT closed out the set with a SLADE song made popular by Quiet Riot, “Cum On Feel The Noize.” Check out the videos below!
