OT: I've Been Nominated For an Award!!!!!!

I join our board's esteemed TV horror host Penny Dreadful as a proud nominee of a Rondo Award.
The Rondos are an annual recognition of the best in horror entertainment.
They're named after Rondo Hatton, a somewhat forgotten horror film actor from the 1940s who never got his due during his lifetime.

My story: The Visual Journey of Karl Fruend, from Famous Monsters Mag issue 251,
was nominated in the Best Mag Article category.

Voting is open to the public here:
www.RondoAward.com

vote for me!!!!!

Thanks, all.

Charles, I did write about Freund's I Love Lucy work at the end of the story. He got involved in the series because Desi Arnaz was a personal fan of his work.
At Desilu, Freund invented the three camera system that was later used on DS and is still in use today.

Freund of course is best known as the cameraman on Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1926), Dracula (1931) and as the director of The Mummy (1932) and Mad Love (1935).
