In honor of Lon Chaney’s independent creativity
Greetings monster kids. As many of you may have noticed, there was a post from a few weeks back announcing the Lon Chaney awards. That announcement was removed. The intention…. My intention, for the Lon Chaney award was to honor those people who work within their art and passion independently to keep the classic horror genre alive. Much in the same way that Lon created and developed his own characters in the earliest days of Hollywood with his own hands and his own blood, sweat and tears. It’s unfortunate, but in order to avoid issues with the legal matter of using Lon’s name. It was decided to rename the awards the “Classic Monsters Award” to avoid a bad situation. The awards will however proceed as planned. The names of winners will be announced on Halloween 2019. Please feel free to submit nominees to the Editor at classicmonsterkid@gmail.com
