FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/p>\n

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

ARLINGTON, VA. \u2013\u00a0Classic horror themes reimagined for the digital age took top honors in the (Gasp!) 17th<\/sup>\u00a0Annual Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards announced today after a record vote by 4,510 fans and pros across the USA and around the world.<\/p>\n

First-time director Ari Aster\u2019s HEREDITARY, an unsettling look at a family haunted from within was voted Best Film of 2018, narrowly topping the long-awaited reboot of HALLOWEEN and John Krasinsky\u2019s surprising hit, A QUIET PLACE.<\/p>\n

Reflecting the impact of streaming services, THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, a Netflix adaptation of Shirley Jackson\u2019s 1959 novel, was voted Best TV Presentation; and in a new category Best Fantasy or Action Film, SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE beat out two other Marvel epics, AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR and BLACK PANTHER as the best of 2018.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0 \u00a0The Rondo Awards, named after Rondo Hatton, an obscure B-movie villain of the 1940s, honor the best in classic horror research, creativity and film preservation. This year\u2019s e-mail vote, conducted by the Classic Horror Film Board, a 24-year old online community, drew more than 4,500 ballots, the most ever in the largest survey of the classic horror genre held each year.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 Criterion\u2019s loving restoration of the late George Romero\u2019s NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, once available only in sub-par public domain versions, was a big winner, named Best Classic DVD\/Blu-Ray, Best Restoration and containing the Best Extra Feature (a work print of the film);. Universal Studio\u2019s collection of 30 of its classic monster films was voted Best Box Set and a two-volume set of all 49 OUTER LIMITS episodes, along with 42 commentaries, unseen alternates and more was voted the best overall package of extra features.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 Rounding out the DVD categories, film critic Tim Lucas won Best Commentary for his work on THE NIGHT STALKER and THE NIGHT STRANGLER.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 Longtime horror historian Don Glut\u2019s monster anthology, TALES OF FRANKENSTEIN, was voted Best Independent Film, and THE HOUSE OF SEVEN GABLES, an animated version of the Hawthorne classic directed by Ben Wickey, won Best Short Film, topping attractions such as SUPER 8 DAZE and LUNCH LADIES.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 In the documentary category, HAMMER HORROR: THE WARNER BROS. YEARS, directed by longtime Hammer expert Marcus Hearn, took top honors despite spirited votes from fans of THE WOLFMAN\u2019S GOT NARDS, TOO MACABRE, and CLARK ASHTON SMITH: THE EMPEROR OF DREAMS.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Justin Humphrey\u2019s DR. PHIBES COMPANION was voted Book of the Year, narrowly besting HARRYHAUSEN: THE MOVIE POSTERS, by Richard Holliss, and Michael Gingold\u2019s AD NAUSEUM: NEWSPRINT NIGHTMARES OF THE 1980s collection of horror movie newspaper ads.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0The return of FANGORIA magazine to print was hailed by the voters, named Best Modern Magazine after a long Rondo run by Rue Morgue, which came in second. SCARY MONSTERS, edited by Don and Vicki Smeraldi, was again voted Best Classic Magazine.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0 In other magazine categories, Best Article went to Mark Wolf\u2019s \u201cWhen Danforth Ruled the Earth\u201d in Little Shoppe of Horrors #41; Sam Irvin\u2019s interview with Cassandra Peterson (Elvira), in Screem #36 was voted Best Interview; and Dr. Gangrene\u2019s Mad Interviews in Scary Monsters was again named Best Column.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 A very hotly contested Best Cover vote considered a monster rally’s worth of horror art, ending with a win for Gary Pullin\u2019s Alfred E. Neuman parody cover of THE SHINING for MAD #4, topping works by Sanjulian, Mark Maddox, Scott Jackson and Daniel Horne.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Canadian magazine Rue Morgue editor Andrea Subissati was voted Best Writer of 2018;\u00a0 Mark Maddox was again chosen as Best Artist; and Eric Puckett was voted Best Fan Artist.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 Svengoolie was again voted Favorite Horror Host, but his large vote total was challenged this time by Joe Bob Briggs, Lamia, Queen of the Dark and Elvira, among others.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 Other winners included Bloody Disgusting, a two-time winner as Best Website; and a very aggressive contest for Best Multi-Media Site was won by the REVIVAL LEAGUE PODCAST (a site dedicated to MST3K), over last year\u2019s winner TWILIGHT ZONE PODCAST and GILBERT GOTTFRIED\u2019S AMAZING COLOSSAL PODCAST.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0 THE CREEPS, a black-and-white horror magazine that channels the Warren comics of the past, was voted Best Comic Book; Pasadena\u2019s Monsterpalooza squeaked by Pittsburgh\u2019s Monster Bash for Best Convention (the two events have easily won the most convention Rondos over the last 17 years); and HALLOWEEN: 40 YEARS OF TERROR, presented by HorrorHound, was voted Best Event of 2018.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 The return of Texas exploitation film personality Joe Bob Briggs, who brought his \u201cDrive-In\u201d redneck movie critic character back to Shudder TV, another example of the resurgence in horror enthusiasm, was named Monster Kid of the Year.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 This year’s Monster Kid Hall of Fame inductees include the late horror collector and historian\u00a0Wes Shank<\/strong>; one of the genre\u2019s founding horror historians,\u00a0Lucy Chase Williams<\/strong>; Cleveland horror hosts\u00a0Big Chuck and Lil\u2019 John,\u00a0<\/strong>along with original co-host\u00a0Bob ‘Hoolihan’ Wells; Ron Adams<\/strong>, creator of the long-running MONSTER BASH convention and magazine;\u00a0Ricou Browning<\/strong>, who swam as the original Creature from the Black Lagoon in 1954; and three of Hammer\u2019s original glamour heroines,\u00a0Caroline Munro, Martine Beswicke and Veronica Carlson<\/strong>, all still active on the convention circuit and in films.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0Below\u00a0you\u2019ll find all the winners, along with runners-up and honorable mentions. Many categories were very competitive, and numerous nominees not listed here nonetheless drew significant votes. Also, this year\u2019s balloting was marked, more than ever, by organized voting campaigns, some of which if not landing victories were nonetheless reflected in some results and a sign of genre enthusiasm.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

In a world of safely digitized horror hosting, Joe Bob reminds us that love of the films and old-fashioned showmanship always must come first. Welcome back Joe Bob!<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

\u00a0Yes, the late Wes Shank really did have The Blob, and that was just the start. Wes was a master collector of monster and science fiction memorabilia as well as a comforting and continuing presence at conventions and educational events. Gone too soon, his enthusiasm and knowledge will be missed but never forgotten.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
LUCY CHASE WILLIAMS<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The second wave of horror fandom was still young in 1995 when Lucy Chase Williams’s THE COMPLETE FILMS OF VINCENT PRICE was published, still the definitive look at the master of horror\u2019s cinema output.\u00a0 One of the rare girls who built Aurora monster models and shot her own Super 8 MM spookfests, Williams grew up to headline a legendary midnight movie series while a Yale undergrad, produce the USA\u2019s first-ever DR WHO convention, script TV episodes of A&E “Biography,” and more. Along the way she survived the ordeals of sexual harassment, and bravely came forward, no matter the personal cost. A true heroine of fandom.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
BIG CHUCK AND LIL\u2019 JOHN (and Bob ‘Hoolihan’ Wells)<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Cleveland has always been a magnet for horror hosts, and two of the most enduring are Charles \u201cBig Chuck\u201d Schodowski and \u201cLil\u2019 John\u201d Rinaldi. Starting in 1966 with the original Ghoulardi, Schadowski worked for many years with Bob \u201cHoolihan\u201d Wells (below) and later Rinaldi.
\n<\/div>\n
Featuring sketches, movies and more, Chuck and John and Bob are now a part of horror hosting legend.<\/div>\n

The Creature from the Black Lagoon is more popular today than ever, thanks in large part to the underwater swimming and elegant menace of Ricou Browning. Portraying the lovesick prehistoric beastie was just the beginning for Browning, who helped create Flipper and decades of film and TV work and has been a friendly and accessible presence at conventions,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
RON ADAMS<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Much of what we take for granted in the world of horror would not exist without the clear and monstrous vision of Ron Adams, one of the genre\u2019s original impresarios. Whether his groundbreaking Monster Bash conventions, his ability to combine family-friendly weekends with wonderfully obscure guests, his mail order catalog or his retro Monster Bash magazine, Ron Adams is always on the forefro0nt of the hobby and what it stands for.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
MARTINE BESWICKE, VERONICA CARLSON and CAROLINE MUNRO<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It\u2019s easy to throw around terms like scream queens and Hammer glamour, but most horror film actresses were far more. Witness these three wondrous inductees — Martine Beswicke, Veronica Carlson and Caroline Munro \u2013 all active during the Golden Age of Hammer but still active today. Whether signing autographs at conventions around the globe or offering memories of working with horror and fantasy greats, these three icons remind us of why their films will always endure.<\/div>\n
