DID YOU REMEMBER TO SET YOUR CLOCKS AHEAD... TO RONDO TIME?!
Well, Daylight Saving Time is upon us once again, and that means we're inching ever closer to three of springtime's most glorious things: blooming flowers, baseball, and another round of Rondo Award nominations!
The latest nominations (for achievements in horror entertainment, merchandising, journalism and fandom during 2023) were recently announced. And yes, for at least the thirteenth (I think) time (!!!), this humble little blog about spooks and kooks, ghouls and fools, and creeps and clowns has been nominated for a Rondo award!!!
The Rondo Awards are the brainchild of David Colton. They are named after Rondo Hatton (you can learn more about Rondo Hatton by watching the video clip below) and are awards given to those who in some way are keeping the love for and appreciation of classic horror alive. You can learn more details about the Rondo Awards and view this year's ballot by clicking here.
"Scared Silly" has again been nominated in the "best website" category, so it is my hope that if you like this blog and the work I do, you will cast your votes for me.
Votes are due by April 16th, 2023. That should be easy to remember as it's one day after the horror of Tax Day! All voting is done by email only so you must email your picks directly to David Colton at taraco@aol.com
Until then, here's popular horror movie host and pop culture historian Svengoolie giving us all a little backrgound on the life and career of Rondo Hatton (don't be fooled by the thumbnail showing Paul Benedict) - ENJOY:
