Special METALLICA related CHILLER facts...

• At our first ever expo, Horror-thon '90, Metallica's Kirk Hammett dropped in to hang out for a while.

• Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammett can be seen wearing our original first Chiller Theatre promo tee shirt in the "Last Caress" video in "A Year and a Half in the Life of METALLICA" documentary.

• Kirk spent 5 hours at the old Chiller Theatre shop in Rutherford, N.J. filming a horror collectors segment with Mr. Chiller for the same documentary. The only footage used was 5 seconds of Kirk peering into a display case with our Aurora Big Frankie model kit near the end of the documentary. The rest of the Chiller footage was scraped and replaced at the last minute with James Hetfield, showing when he was accidently set on fire on stage in Canada.

• Our first convention tee shirt can be seen worn by Kirk in some Metallica promos and live videos and photos from the "Black" album sessions and tour.
