Congratulations to all the Rondo winners! And many appreciations to David Colton and the Classic Horror Film Board for doing this year after year.

Even though I don't allows agree with what is or isn't nominated or how the award categories are divided up, I'm still grateful the Rondos exist and for all of David's efforts.

The Rondo Classic Horror Awards are a labour of love that beyond affording journalists with some well-deserved recognition for their hard work, always infuse an extra bit of excitement into being a horror fan.

Being a spoken word contributor to RUE MORGUE RADIO and the host of the now defunct RUE MORGUE PODCAST, I've had a lot of fun with the Rondos over the years and they've always given us an excuse to campaign for votes in a very ridiculous fashion.

As I'm no longer engaged in horror journalism (and have no plans to jump back in anytime soon), it's unlikely I'll have the honour of being nominated for anything in the foreseeable future. But I'll still be casting my ballots.

Viva La Rondos!
