We presented Count Gore DeVol, winner of Best Website for 2004, his Rondo at the Monster Bash in June.

The Count has a video of the brief -- and crazy! -- moment. You need Real Player, I think, to play it, and it's kinda cool!

CINCINNATI, May 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Monster Kid Home Movies has won two
prestigious horror-industry film awards: "Best Independent Film" in the 4th
Annual Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards, and the Silver Medal for "Best
DVD of 2005" by Mark Clark of Horror-wood.com, an online magazine of news
and reviews in the classic horror and sci-fi fields. Monster Kid Home
Movies is a 30-film collection of 8mm homemade horror shorts made by kids
and young fans in the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s.
"I'm surprised, humbled and downright shocked," said compilation
Producer Joe Busam. "In winning the Silver Medal from Horrorwood.com,
Monster Kid Home Movies beat out releases from major studios and
distributors including Warner Bros., Fox and Universal. It was topped only
by Warners' long-awaited DVD release of the 1933 classic KING KONG, which
won the Gold."
Adds Busam, "The DVD also won against some stiff competition for the
Rondo Award, including Flesh & Blood: The Hammer Heritage of Horror, Ray
Harryhausen: The Early Years, and CALL OF CTHULHU, a new silent film in the
1920's style produced by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society."
Horrorwood.com's Clark cited Busam's Cincinnati-based PPS Group for
issuing "this lovingly compiled assortment of nostalgia-drenched home
movies made by lifelong horror fans when they were kids." He noted they are
great fun, and a few, "like Disney artist Frank Dietz's early stop-motion
animation films, are surprisingly effective."
Several of the now-grown filmmakers, including Robert Tinnell and
Dietz, provided narrations for the amateur films, which were restored and
color- corrected after years of neglect and deterioration. "The audio
commentaries, included for every feature, are sometimes as entertaining as
the films," adds Clark.
Begun in 2002, the Rondo Awards, named after 1940's character actor
Rondo Hatton, are an email survey of the classic horror fan community
sponsored by the Classic Horror Film Board. Five weeks of balloting in 23
categories were solicited through websites, online discussion groups and
mailings. Rondo voters include diverse respondents, from well-known film
critics such as Leonard Maltin to film industry veterans, and monster-genre
film fans worldwide.

Thanx Tom. Yes, Rondo has been mentioned far more than this thread indicates. We had numerous examples, but most were lost during the great EZBoard Meltdown last year.

We will try to reconstruct them one of these days!

Thanx for posting that, Chris.

Here's my favorite line: "Phillipi was previously recognized for his work as assistant director on the Oscar-nominated film, “Seabiscuit.” "

Oh right. That.
