Chiller Theatre October 2023: Johnny Caps Recaps

Hello, dear readers. It’s Johnny Caps here. Because of the SAG-AFTRA strike, which is still happening as I write these words, I haven’t published any interviews for Pop Geeks these past few months on the advice of several previous interview subjects who are SAG-AFTRA members. As my interviews cover the whole of a talent’s career, past, present and future, and as the present and the future can’t be discussed right now according to SAG rules, the interviews I was working on polishing before the strike went into effect are still in draft format, and I haven’t sent out any interview requests since the strike started. However, I have kept a foot in the world of show business both by talking to the friends I’ve made because of my interviews, and by once again attending my favorite convention. On the last weekend of October 2023, I made my latest trip to New Jersey’s Chiller Theatre convention, and I had a lot of fun attending the show as I do every April

I once again paid a visit to the Chiller Theatre convention last month, and the April 2023 installment was the best April Chiller I’ve attended so far. I know I said that about the April 2022 Chiller, but I’ve come to find that every Chiller Theatre is better than the last one, and the last one is always fantastic to begin with. Join me as I recap the stars I met at the April 2023 Chiller. I started the show on Friday night by meeting Julie McCullough again. We’d previously met at the October 2021 Chiller Theatre, and before that, several times during the period when the defunct-at-the-moment Hoboken International Film Festival was in my hometown of Greenwood Lake, NY. As she was Playboy’s Miss February 1986, I paid to get her centerfold signed, and we got a few pictures together. I also inquired about her accepting my Facebook friend request, and I paid a little extra for that. How did that turn out? Wait until I recap Saturday. The

My latest interview subject, Debbie D, was first mentioned to me by our mutual friend Deborah Dutch when I interviewed her in 2020. Two years or so later, I would meet Debbie D at the Chiller Theatre convention, and I said I would reach out to her about an interview. When I saw her IMDB page, though, I was taken aback by her many credits, and I knew that I would need time to formulate the right questions. When I saw Debbie D again at the October 2022 Chiller, as shown in the cover photo, she playfully chided me about not reaching out to her about an interview after the April 2022 Chiller. A day or two after that Chiller, I sent Debbie an e-mail with an apology for not reaching out sooner. We set up an interview for December, and that interview is being published today. I hope you all enjoy getting to know this independent film legend and scream queen as I have. Say hello to Debbie D!

Twice a year, the Chiller Theatre convention is held in Parsippany, NJ. I go to both shows, the one in April and the one in October, and I always have fun at every Chiller I go to. I love meeting the stars at the show, and I’ve made a lot of friends in terms of attendees and Chiller staff as well. While the memories are still relatively fresh in my mind, I wanted to do a recap of the October 2022 Chiller Theatre convention.   Johnny Caps and Christie Brinkley   The first guest I met was Christie Brinkley. I paid for the V.I.P, which got me five autographs, a picture with Christie, and front-of-the-line access. I’ll admit that I was a little taken aback to find out as I was at the front of the line that inscriptions weren’t free, but as I had the money, I paid for the inscriptions as well, and once I did so, I waited for my chance to meet the Uptown Girl herself.

The most recent installment of the Chiller Theatre convention happened this past April of 2022, and I was lucky enough to attend the show for two days. I always enjoy attending Chiller, and of the three April Chillers I’ve attended so far, the 2022 show has been my best so far. All the stars I met were friendly, and as I’ve been very active as a participant and moderator on the Chiller Theatre Fans Facebook group, a lot of people recognized me. Join me now as I recap Chiller of April 2022. The first star I met was Claudia Wells, the original Jennifer Parker in the first Back To The Future. Claudia was so incredibly friendly when I met her. Ms. Wells was actually one of the first people I made friends with on Facebook, and I had the chance to thank her for that friendship in person. I hope to be able to land an interview with her someday. I actually did reach out to her back in the
