HORROR HALL OF FAME I, II, III 3 DVD SET-SPOOKTACULAR!

This was a truly remarkable award show and we were lucky to have
it for 3 years . Rather than just another plodding exercise in industry self-congratulation, The Horror Hall Of Fame I, II, III was genuinely entertaining. What made it unique among such programs was that it took the novel approach of spotlighting a craft Hollywood very seldom likes to honor: The horror movie!

The "H.H.O.F." didn't operate quite the way the Oscars do; it wasn't a live network broadcast that followed some Barbara Walters celebrity interview show, and all the recipients obviously knew they'd be getting an award, but that was good because there was none of the "(insert name) couldn't be here with us tonight" pseudo-acceptance crap. It was an excellently produced, loving
tribute to horror films both current and classic.

Robert Englund, a perfect choice to MC, would introduce well written, nicely edited tributes to such films as "Night Of LivingDead", "Alien", and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and these pieceswould include interviews with the directors, screen writers andmembers of the cast.  Film critics like Leonard Maltin wouldoffer their opinion why these films gained worldwide acclaim. For some of the classics honored, a member of the production might
be there to actually take a bow on behalf of the film as did Jason Miller who made a rare appearance to accept a trophy in recognition of "The Exorcist". There were even affectionate tributes to the careers of actors like Bela Lugosi, and industry people such as Al Feldstein, originator of the horror comic book and a very deserving recipient he was, too. This guy really suffered at the hands of 1950's government persecutors who tried to pin responsibility for a
rise in adolescent crime on the publication of his comics. The H.H.O.F. knew better however and gave him a lovely trophy shaped like a grimreaper. "Beautiful" he cooed as he was handed the award.

Like the Oscars, at the end the award for the best horrorfilm of the year would be presented. During it's final airing thewas announced winner by none other than Vincent Price.

This show was more than just some novelty special cooked up by Fangoria fans; the list of "voting members" shown in the closing credits included the afore mentioned Vincent Price, Roger Corman, John Landis, and even this guy named Steven Spielberg.The "Horror Hall Of Fame" was only broadcast for 3 years, which is a shame. This area of film-making really deserves a solid salute
and a LOT more often than the "legitamite" Hollywood awards shows seem willing to give it. Truly a missed opportunity that this
didn't become a yearly tradition.

A must have for any true horror fan and one that will be enjoyed
for many years to come!
