… BEST COLUMN
KIM NEWMAN’S DUNGEON (The Dark Side)
Runners-up: Scene Queen by Barbara Crampton, FANGORIA;
Rondo Remembers by Ron Adams, MONSTER BASH; Kaiju Korner,
by Mike Bogue, SCARY MONSTERS.
Honorable mentions: Exordium by Michael Gingold, FANGORIA;
Overlooked in Hollywood, by Laura Wagner, FILMS OF THE GOLDEN AGE;
DEVIL’S IN THE DETAILS by Stacie Ponder, RUE MORGUE;
The Rochon Report, by Debbie Rochon, VIDEOSCOPE
Thanks to all who voted, and delighted to share the kudos with the worthy runners-up and honourable mentionees.
The award is named for the actor Rondo Hatton and shaped like the statue of him which appears in the film House of Horrors (1945). Stephen Jones and I did a commentary track for the UK BluRay release.
Well deserved – it goes without saying. A much misused term but apt in this case – KN is Legend. Very pleased to read KN writing for Dark Side magazine – I shall have to place an order with my local newsagents. Haven’t looked at the august periodical in some time, due to penury (you see, I am the tramp seen at the conclusion of The Asphyx). Warm congrats once again, I venture you are truly our unofficial king, King of the Monster Club.
