MORE GUESTS ANNOUNCED FOR APRIL 2009 CHILLER THEATRE CONVENTION
In what is shaping up to be one of the most guest-laden conventions in recent memory, Chiller Theatre has added a considerable number of names to the already burgeoning roster since we first reported on the initial guest list. A whole new section called The Italian Invasion will feature a good number of Fulci faces: Ian McCulloch, Richard Johnson, Al Cliver, Silvia Collatina, Giovanni Frezza, Malisa Longo, Zora Kerowa, Michael Sopkiw, and Ottaviano Dell'acqua to name a few. Luigi Cozzi is also due to be on hand. Fulci aficionado and director of the highly entertaining PAURA: LUCIO FULCI REMEMBERED and who is also working on a new book about Fulci, will be there, too.
In addition, Tony Curtis, Tippi Hedren, Edward James Olmos, and Erin Gray have been added.
Read below regarding their new policy on purchasing tickets. Attendees should be informed to purchase tickets online or via snail mail ahead of time:
TICKET INFORMATION:
AT THE DOOR: General admission is $25.00 per day, but note that tickets will only be available at the door on Friday & Sunday only. NO tickets will be available at the door on SATURDAY. The sheer number of fans who show up on Saturday makes the convention unable to sell tickets that day - only ticket holders will gain entry to the convention on Saturday.
Children age 12 and under may enter FREE when they are accompanied by an adult. All advance tickets will be mailed out several weeks before the show. This will be reflected on Chiller's main page.
You are strongly advised to purchase tickets in advance which are $20.00 per day, or $60.00 for all three days (VIP).
Pre-Show Tickets
Pre-show tickets give you access to the show one hour earlier than the general public on Friday night or Saturday morning. At the door, pre-show tickets are $30.00 each and can only be purchased on Friday. No tickets will be available at the door on Saturday. If you want to purchase these pre-show tickets in advance, they are $25.00 each.
Pre-Show & VIP Tickets
