I mentioned yesterday that I had been notified that I have been nominated for a Rondo award, and that YOU can vote for me to actually win one! What is a Rondo, you may ask? Well, the complete title is-the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror awards. Rondo Hatton was the actor afflicted with agromegalia, a disease that distorted his facial features and body-the same disease that wrestling’s Andre the Giant suffered from. You may remember him as “the Creeper” in a couple films. The actual physical award is a sculpt of his head. The awards honor the best in horror film, television, etc.
I have been nominated under the category of “horror host” (there’s a surprise)- and, if you wish to vote for me, as well as the other categories, you can go to either: www.classichorrorfilmboard.com/rondos/rondos.html or www.rondos.com Please follow all the directions, or your vote will not count.
If you decide to put in a vote for me, thanks. Even though one source labeled me as “the most decorated horror host, with seven Emmys (so far) and the National Television Academy’s Silver Circle award”- adding a Rondo would be an honor, and a tribute to the support of you loyal Sven fans as well. I think you can vote for about the next month or so- I’m sure the sites will have the full information.
This year’s awards are dedicated to Maila Nurmi, the great Vampira, who passed away recently. How appropriate that the original horror show hostess is being honored by this year’s voting!
You can also vote in the many other categories, including best horror magazine, where our friends from “Scary Monsters” are among the nominees-and there are also write-in votes in the categories- so, for best book, you could write in “Chicago TV Horror Movie Shows: from Shock Theatre to Svengoolie” to honor the fine work of Ted Okuda and Mark Yurkiw.
And, certainly, with this kind of Internet voting- there is always the chance that some horror host from West Kneecap, Idaho, with plenty of time on his hands, could possibly find a way to stuff the ballot box to win the award…and, each local favorite in the various areas, with their loyal fans, will no doubt reap many votes-but, regardless, I’m grateful that someone was thoughtful enough to nominate me- and grateful if you decide to actually put in a vote for me. Maybe we’ll post the info here on the wciu website for the next month to remind folks that they can vote…and tomorrow, I’ll be here to remind you of what we have in store on the Saturday night show!
