FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/span><\/p>\n

By David Colton
\nCHFB News<\/p>\n

ARLINGTON, VA. \u2013 The long-awaited release of Clive Barker’s extended version of\u00a0Nightbreed<\/i> and a pair of books celebrating science fiction classics were among top winners in the 13th Annual Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards, announced Wednesday after an online vote by more than 3,100 fans and professionals worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0The Rondo Award voting. which took place over seven weeks, ranged far and wide, picking Guardians of the Galaxy<\/i> as Best Film of 2014 while recognizing the original 1954 Godzilla<\/i> soundtrack, the revived Famous Monsters magazine and a reunion of the cast of Evil Dead.<\/i>
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0The awards were marked by only the third tie in Rondo history: A\u00a0 single vote separated The Creature Chronicles<\/i>, Tom Weaver’s examination of the Creature from the Black Lagoon films and David J. Schow’s The Outer Limits at 50<\/i>, a look at the groundbreaking science fiction TV show of the 1960s.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0Rather than searching for dangling digital chads among the 3,100 votes, the decision was made to declare a tie in the hotly contested category, which also included books on the history of Don Post horror masks and the art of Japanese monster-making.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0Among magazines, the Canadian horror periodical\u00a0Rue Morgue\u00a0<\/i>won Best Magazine for the sixth straight year while the revived version of\u00a0Famous Monsters of Filmland<\/i>\u00a0and the scholarly Diabolique<\/i>\u00a0scored in other magazine categories.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 It was also announced that horror researcher Frank J. Dello Stritto was named ‘Monster Kid of the Year,’ the Rondo Awards’ highest honor, for his book, ‘I Saw What I Saw When I Saw It,’ a memoir of growing up in New Jersey surrounded by Cold War fears, Mantle vs. Mays and monster movies on TV.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0 “No work in recent memory has captured what it was like to be growing up in the middle of the monster craze,” wrote one voter. “It was like reliving those days again through the eyes of one of us.”<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 The Rondo Awards, named after Rondo Hatton, an obscure B-movie villain of the 1940s, celebrate the best in classic horror research, creativity and film preservation. This year’s e-mail vote, conducted by the Classic Horror Film Board, a 20-year old online community, drew more than 3,100 ballots. It is the largest survey of the classic horror genre held each year<\/span><\/div>\n

\nThe biggest winner was the so-called “Cabal Cut” of\u00a0Nightbreed,<\/i> which adds <\/i>40 minutes of unseen or restored footage to horror writer\/director Clive Barker’s 1990 film. The film won three awards: Best DVD of 2014, along with Best Commentary (which included Barker), and Best Restoration. A Nightbreed cover for Fangoria magazine by Nick Percival also won Best Cover of the year.<\/span><\/div>\n


\nAmong more modern works, \u00a0‘The Grove,’ an unsettling episode of The Walking Dead<\/i>, was named Best Television Presentation.<\/span><\/p>\n

MONSTER KID OF THE YEAR<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
FRANK J. DELLO STRITTO<\/strong><\/div>\n

\"dello_zpss5wjf0ue.jpg\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Growing up in New Jersey in the 50s with Cold War jitters and a black-and-white TV as companions is usually all it takes to create a ‘Monster Kid.’<\/p>\n

That’s exactly what happened to Frank J. Dello Stritto. The experience,
\nhappily and smartly documented in his book, ‘I Saw What I Saw When I Saw It,’<\/div>\n
led Frank to a lifetime of horror research and writings,
\nespecially about Bela Lugosi and the edges of the Monster Boom.
\nBut few books capture so perfectly what it
\nwas like to grow up surrounded by monsters, Mickey Mantle, and nuclear madness.
\nFor his month-by-month chronicle of a<\/div>\n
time that shaped us all (whether you were born yet or not),
\nFrank J. Dello Stritto is our Monster Kid of the Year.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
THE MONSTER KID HALL OF FAME<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
Our four latest inductees are:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
MICHAEL WELDON<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

The Psychotronic pioneer<\/b><\/p>\n

\"weldon_zpsnj40aftu.jpg\"<\/p>\n

Before the Internet took hold, Michael Weldon’s sensibility of the cool<\/span>
\n led to ‘Psychotronic,’ a genre-bending embrace of horror, sci fi and fantasy along<\/span>
\n with VHS obscurities, garage rock, Cleveland weirdness and ‘Surfin’ Bird.’ \u00a0All packed into his essential ‘Psychotronic’ magazine and his even more essential book collections of cult movie reviews. Weldon’s influence shaped the video revolution and lives on today.
\nPapa-ooma-mow-mow indeed.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

JOSE MOJICA MARINS<\/strong><\/span>
\n (COFFIN JOE)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Brazil’s superior master of horror<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"coffinjoestreet.tiff_zps2uhvssqu.jpg\"<\/div>\n

If horror has a grand inquisitor, it would be Coffin Joe, the pitiless black-robed character brought to life by Brazil’s Jose Mojica Marins in a handful of startling films. Joe’s search for a “perfect woman” is part horror, part satire, part philosophy and pure filmmaking.
\nNearing 80, Marins’ Coffin Joe remains one of horror’s most unforgettable characters.<\/span><\/p>\n

GARY DON RHODES<\/strong><\/span><\/span>
\nLugosi’s grand biographer
\n<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"rhodes_zpsvwdgncd8.jpg\"
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Through books, documentaries, interviews and a relentless search through documents
\nand newspaper clippings here and in Britain and Europe, scholar Gary Rhodes
\nhas helped keep Bela Lugosi’s career and legacy alive. Though not alone in Lugosi expertise,
\nRhodes’ fact-based approach enlivens the debates over Dracula, Tod Browning
\nand the world of the theatrical undead a century ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

SARA KARLOFF<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/div>\n

Daughter of the gentleman actor
\n<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"sarak.tiff_zpsj0blwqby.jpg\"
\n<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

A true “Monster Kid,” Sara Karloff has been a lively and engaging connection to her
\nfamous father for decades, celebrating his work as a Grinch and Captain Hook just as much
\nas his portrayals of the Monster and Im-Ho-Tep. A perennial convention guest, Sara always finds time for her fans, and the memory of her famous dad.
