The nominations have been announced for the 20th Annual Rondo Awards! Once again, my column for HorrorHound magazine, They Came from the Krypt, has been nominated for Best Column. So, this is my one and only press push to persuade you to vote! In all honesty, I hope that everyone does vote because there are a lot of talented people out there giving it there all, most of which are doing it out of sheer passion, not profession. But nonetheless, it is something that all horror fans can share in. It doesn’t matter who you’re voting for but take a few minutes and go through the categories and cast your vote. You don’t have to vote in all categories but vote from the heart for those you do support. You can read the full list at the Rondo website HERE. Write them down and email them to David Colton, the man in charge at taraco@aol.com. You have until midnight on April 17th. So don’t delay!

I have several friends nominated as well, including one of my co-hosts on our Discover the Horror podcast, Aaron Aubuchon, for Best Article for the Suspiria retrospective he did for issue #90 of HorrorHound. Another good friend, Alan Tromp, was also nominated for Best Article for his piece “In Search of the Elusive Monsters of Denis Gifford”, in issue #28 of We Belong Dead. Add in the countless other friends that received nominations, like Troy Howarth (commentary for Dead & Buried and Best Book for Unholy Communion), Bryan Senn (Best Book for Here There Be Monsters), Jay Kay (Best Interview with Kier-La Janisse), Derek Koch (Best Podcast with Monster Kid Radio), Troy Guinn & Rod Barnett (Best Podcast with Naschycast), Mark Maddox (Best Magazine Cover for Little Shoppe of Horrors #46), as well as my fellow friends in the Best Column Category, Richard J. Schellbach (Mondo Cult Online), John Bowen (Rue Morgue), Ron Adams (Monster Bash), and to all of those I forgot, I wish each and every one the best of luck!
