FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/p>\n

(FIND COMPLETE LIST AFTER PRESS RELEASE)<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

By David Colton<\/p>\n

CHFB News<\/p>\n

ARLINGTON, VA. \u2013 The undying legacies of Edgar Allan Poe and Vincent Price prevailed in the 12th Annual Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards, announced May 12 after an online vote by fans and genre professionals worldwide.<\/p>\n

Projects linked to Poe, Price or Roger Corman’s adaptations collected six Rondo awards in all, including Best DVD Collection, Best DVD Commentary, Best DVD Extra and Best Magazine Issue.\u00a0 The trend carried over to a Poe radio podcast and even a blog devoted to Price’s 1928 trip to Europe, reproduced in the young actor’s hand-written journal.<\/p>\n

Among more modern works, the ghost-hunting thriller The Conjuring<\/i> was named Best Film of 2013, and ‘Too Far Gone,’ the shocking mid-season finale of The Walking Dead<\/i>, was named Best Television Presentation.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

This year’s e-mail vote, conducted by the Classic Horror Film Board, a 19-year old online community, drew nearly 3,400 ballots. The 35-category ballot is the largest survey of the classic horror genre held each year, and nominees and winners tilt decidedly toward horrors of the 1920s-60s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Other Rondo winners cited for outstanding work released in 2013:<\/p>\n

Scream Factory’s Vincent Price Collection<\/b>, a 4-disc Blu-Ray of six films ( Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher, Pit and the Pendulum, Masque of the Red Death, Haunted Palace<\/i>, and Witchfinder General<\/i>, along with the campy Abominable Dr. Phibes),<\/i> took home three Rondos: Best Classic Horror DVD\/Blu-Ray Collection, Best Commentary (<\/b>Phibes<\/i>‘ director Robert Fuest <\/b>and Marcus Hearn), <\/b>and Best DVD Extra <\/b>(for rare introductions to the Corman\/Poe films Price taped for an Iowa PBS station decades ago).<\/p>\n

In addition, the fan who found the deteriorating PBS footage, Paul Larson<\/b>, was named Monster Kid of the Year<\/b>, the Rondo program’s top annual honor.<\/p>\n

“I just wanted to do something respectful for the legacy of one of my heroes,” Larson, a PBS TV producer from Plattsburgh, N.Y., said. “I’d like to think (Price) would be happy to know his hard work has been seen by a wider audience than was ever intended for those intros. The fact that they have been so well received, well reviewed and appreciated says a lot about the lasting impact of Vincent Price.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Adding to the horror actor’s honors this year, The Vincent Price Journal<\/b>, a compilation of Price’s hand-written diaries during a trip to Europe in 1928, was named Best Blog<\/b> of 2013.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 In the scholarship and literary categories,\u00a0Hidden Horror<\/b>, a compendium of 101 cult films by HorrorHound Magazine’<\/i>s Aaron Christensen<\/b>, was voted Book of the Year<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 And Bruce Hallenbeck<\/b>, a long-time Hammer expert and writer for Little Shoppe of Horrors<\/i>, Diabolique <\/i>and proponent of the petition to release more Hammer Blu-Rays in the USA, was named Writer of the Year.<\/b> It was the second Writer of the Year honor for Hallenbeck.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Best Magazine <\/b>categories, the Canada-based Rue Morgue<\/b> was the winner in the mass market division for the sixth consecutive year; Monsters from the Vault <\/b>was Best Magazine among fan publications, its third win.<\/p>\n

The revived Famous Monsters of Filmland <\/i>carried two winners: A striking portrait of Margaret Hamilton’s Wicked Witch by Simon Thorpe<\/b> was named Best Cover<\/b>, and an article detailing the relationship between the late Ray Bradbury and cartoonist Gahan Wilson by Terry Pace<\/b> was voted Best Article<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Tim Lucas’<\/b> talk with director Quentin Tarantino in Video Watchdog<\/i> about the best genre sequels was picked as Best Interview; <\/b>Jon Kitley’s They Came from The Krypt <\/b>from HorrorHound<\/i> was voted Best Column; <\/b>and Fangoria’s <\/b>issue devoted to Roger Corman was voted Best Themed Issue.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"rondobutton_000.jpg\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Other awards: Criterion’s release of The Blob<\/b> was named Best DVD\/Blu-Ray<\/b>; MeTV’s Svengoolie <\/b>was again voted Favorite Horror Host<\/b>, and Monsterpalooza<\/b>, a convention devoted to makeup and special effects, was tapped for the third time as Best Convention<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among independent films: Son of Ghostman<\/b>, a spoof of suburbam horror-host rivalries gone bad, and Dracula 1931 Trailer,<\/b> a “homemade” version of the Bela Lugosi trailer, took home Rondos.<\/p>\n

The Best Documentary<\/b> category was especially competitive, with The Ackermonster Chronicles<\/b>, a no-holds-barred look at the founder of Famous Monsters <\/i>magazine topping works on the VHS boom of the 1980s, The Phantom of the Opera<\/i>, Vampira, Dr. Shocker and others.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Joe Kane<\/b> (aka The Phantom in the magazine Videoscope<\/i>), was named Reviewer of the Year<\/b>; Jason Edmiston<\/b>, who had two covers nominated, was voted Artist of the Year<\/b>; and Eric Puckett<\/b> was voted Fan Artist of the Year<\/b>.\u00a0 An award named in honor of the late Hollywood creature-builder Henry Alvarez was given to sculptor Casey Wong<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Japanese monster fan and publisher Hajime Ishida<\/b>, a long-time friend of the late Forrest J Ackerman, was named this year’s International Fan of the Year<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Horror hostess Penny Dreadful’s lycanthropic sidekick and husband Garou (aka Magoo <\/span><\/b>Gelehrter <\/b>), was awarded a ‘Pure in Heart’ Rondo<\/b> for his courageous and growling battle against illness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, based on suggestions from Rondo voters, the following six Monster Kid Hall of Fame<\/strong> inductees were named:<\/p>\n

The Don Post Studio<\/b>, creators of monster masks that helped shape the monster craze of the 1960s; classic horror historian Greg Mank<\/b>; and Del and Sue Howison<\/b>, owners of L.A.’s influential horror store Dark Delicacies.<\/p>\n

Sadly and posthumously, three major figures who died this year but left an indelible mark on the classic horror scene were inducted as well:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Writer\/editor Bhob Stewart<\/b> of Castle of Frankenstein; <\/i>artist\/publisher Larry Ivie<\/b> of Monsters and Heroes<\/i> and more; and Mike Vraney<\/b>, whose Something Weird Video operation rescued hundreds of cult horror and exploitation films from destruction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many of the Rondo winners will receive Rondo busts at the Wonderfest convention in Louisville on May 31. Further information, including runners-up and all the nominees, can be found at rondoaward.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

HAJIME ISHIDA<\/span> (Japan)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"hajime1_zpsc2b9a185.jpg\"<\/div>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Hajime Ishida has been carrying the Monster Kid torch in Japan for decades — a friend of the late Forrest J Ackerman, and publisher<\/p>\n

of Japanese magazines such as MONSTERZINE.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 “I love Horror & Sci-Fi movies, especially Universal monsters & Hammer horrors,” he says on his Facebook page. “And, I love Forrest J Ackerman very much. Forry called me ‘Japanese son’ always, and I (am) proud of it.”<\/p>\n

We wish Hajime all the best, and hope this recognition from his friends in the USA brightens his monstrous days.<\/span><\/p>\n

THE PURE IN HEART AWARD<\/b><\/div>\n

MAGOO GELEHRTER (Garou)<\/p>\n

\"garou_zps95a90b11.jpg\"<\/p>\n

As the lycanthropic sidekick (and real-life husband) to horror host Penny Dreadful, the wolfish Garou has never been at a loss for growls. His comic timing, his impish spirit and his energy fills any telecast, or any room, under the full moon. Recovering from illness, the great Garou more than earns this special Rondo Award — from all of us — because<\/p>\n

surely he is, as the old poem goes, ‘pure in heart.’<\/p>\n

\u00a0MONSTER KID OF THE YEAR<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

PAUL LARSON<\/p>\n

\"larson1_zps427e4a6b.jpg\"<\/p>\n

Paul Larson was responsible for finding and negotiating the inclusion of rare footage of Vincent Price introducing his Poe films in THE VINCENT PRICE COLLECTION Blu-Ray. The videos, showing Price offerings a brief intro (and epilogues), to the films for a PBS station in Iowa were almost forgotten except for Larson’s work.<\/p>\n

“I’ve always loved that footage,” Larson says, “which ushered a younger me into a whole world of Poe, Price and gothic horrors.” For helping fill in a gap in the Price legacy, Paul Larson is our Monster Kid of the Year.<\/p>\n

THE MONSTER KID HALL OF FAME<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The six latest inductees are:<\/span><\/p>\n

GREGORY WILLIAM MANK<\/p>\n

Bringing long-lost horrors to new life<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"mank.jpg\"<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It was the work by Greg Mank in books such as It’s Alive, Lugosi and Karloff, Hollywood Cauldron<\/i>, and many others that super-charged a new breed of scholarship for horror fans. Mank’s work is fact-based, mythbusting, exhaustive and essential. By taking horror history seriously, Greg Mank has enlisted all <\/span>Monster Kids in the great hunt for the truth about the classic horrors.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE DON POST STUDIO<\/p>\n

<\/span>Creating the faces of monsters<\/p>\n

<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"donpostsr_zps91cab159.jpg\"<\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 The monster masks of the late Don Post and company, seen issue after issue in Famous Monsters in the 1950s and beyond, convinced kids of the early horror boom that they, too, could menace friends and family — and home movies — as monsters. Would there be a Rick Baker without the Post masks?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 The masks have become high-priced collector’s items, but more, have kept monster dreams alive for decades.\u00a0 His son, Don Post Jr., kept the masks alive, and although the Studio has struggled to stay alive, their eye-holed legacy lives on.<\/span><\/p>\n

DEL AND SUE HOWISON<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Dark Delicacies is a bookstore like no other, nestled in the green with envy suburbs of L.A. but serving up monsters, horror authors, directors, producers and all manners of the fantastic. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Overseeing it all is one of monsterdom’s most friendly couples, Del and Sue Howison, whose open-house policy at their star makes it a smart and safe haven in a town of pose and creative perils. The Howisons are a major part of the Hollywood monster community and crucial links to not only the classic past but the wild horrors of the future. Long may they browse.<\/p>\n

MIKE VRANEY, BHOB STEWART and LARRY IVIE<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Three who mattered – gone but not forgotten<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 The deaths of Mike Vraney, Bhob Stewart and Larry Ivie may seem sad yet separate events, but the passings symbolize the fragile holds Baby Boomer Monster Kids have in their generation. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 Vraney was the force behind Something Weird Video, which singlehandedly rescued, and ennobled some of the cheapest but most vital cult movies of the 1960s, 70s and 80s. The home video monster market would not have been the same without SWV. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Stewart was the mad bohemian behind much of Castle of Frankenstein<\/em>‘s early<\/p>\n

monster mania, and Ivie was an artist who went on to publish Monsters and Heroes<\/em>, a fanzine posing as a mass market buy.<\/p>\n

The three pioneers were vital markers to where we are now, and will be greatly missed.<\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That’s it for this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 As always there will be a Rondo Awards Ceremony<\/strong> at the WonderFest Convention in Louisville on Saturday, May 31 at 5 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ———————-<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Finally, beyond the fun and agony (some categories were won by less than 6 votes!),\u00a0\u00a0of the winners and runners-up, remember that the real point of the Rondos is to recognize the entire spectrum of great work being done in the genre. \u00a0So we hope the ballot itself was full of discoveries — magazines, books, Blu-Rays, conventions — that maybe you didn’t know existed.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NOTE: If you see any mistakes, please let me know at taraco@aol.com.\u00a0<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 And thank you for all the support, and for everyone’s great work this year. Long live Rondo!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
