There are very few of us who haven't aspired to do something that will live on when we are gone. Whatever your beliefs, it is a comforting fact to know that you will leave something behind bearing your name for those in future generations to admire. Some momento to prove that you existed, that you were a living being and a creator that breathed life into something that it lives on.

Having the talent and vision to create such a thing is a very special gift. To be able to find time to make it come to fruition during the daily routines of financial and family is an impossibility for the majority of us. Many are lucky enough to find time to practice their former art & aspirations as a hobby. We set around, writing nocturnally on our computers, hoping that when we retire we'll have the time to finish our 'Great American Novel.'

This very special award is presented tonight to someone who has made the time to make a career out of that childhood fantasy. Someone who has struggled through long hours of editing and contest touring, and someone who undoubtedly knows the heartache of having something so dear to you rejected by a stranger as 'not good enough.'

Through parenthood and the chores of being a stay at home father, he has found the time to create something special. Although some of it may be more along the lines of the child you stick in the basement when people come over, he has more to come and plenty to be proud of.

From SciFi originals all the way up to working with two modern masters of horror, this man deserves this award in every sense of the word. Thanks for taking the time to be part of this community. We consider you a friend, and a man who will definately live on after he's gone in the minds of horror fans.

Ladies in gentlemen, I have been given the honor and pleasure in presenting Mr. Sean Keller, our very own Roderick Usher, with this award for his upcoming film Giallo.

And congratulations, Sean. I have a ridiculous amount of respect for you as someone who is now fulfilling their lifelong dream and working with a director whom they have respected their whole lives. I truly can't wait until your movie comes out. And I will drag as many of my friends out to see it and buy a damn ticket just to support you.

And thank you, Flayed, for presenting that momentous and highly respected Award. :)


Ladies and Gentlemen, our other Honorary HDC Jury Award winner needs no introduction. From defending the literary persona who have evolved and molded Horror into what it is today, to bashing the modern-day masterpieces and leaving many a critic stunned and speechless with his unabashed and stinging criticism, he is surely a master of the genre in HDC.

Whether it be literary criticisms, or works of art, novels or comic-books, classic movies or modern, this member's wide and varied knowledge in each sector of horror is both incomparable and very highly respected by all HDC members and the world outside.

Recently, he has branched out one of his many talents in the form of a literary book which is destined to become a bestseller once people start taking notice of what a masterpiece it truly is. Right now, it boasts plenty of sales among us and also among fans of the genre, who love to read a fresh take on the already-overdone bizarro horror sub-genre.

Ladies and gentlemen, I would request all of you to please stand up and put your hands together...

For the wonderful author of Murderland - Part I - H8...

The HDC Hall of Fame is a highly-respected group which has inductees who have been leaders, innovators and contributing members who have shaped HDC since times immemorial into what it is, today. They have single-handedly worked on this place and made it into a truly amazing destination for the fans of horror - both hardcore and new.

Since the past two years, we have had two very respectable and honored inductees - Bloodrayne and Zwoti.

For the presentation of this year's HDC Hall of Famer 2008 award, I would like to call...

one of our other very respected members...


Ladies and Gentlemen...

Some people think it foolish to consider an "internet forum" as a community...the dictionary definition of community reads thusly:" a social, religious, occupational, or other group sharing common characteristics or interests and perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some respect from the larger society within which it exists (usually prec. by the): the business community; the community of scholars."

In my many years of "surfing" the internet and joining horror site after site....then abandoning them because they don't feel like "a community"...until I found HDC. No other site feels more like a community than this one. And its because of people like the recipient of this next award.

His post are insightful, helpful, and well thought out. Sure he does post some gibberish once in a while.....but its all in good fun. He never goes out of his way to "start bullshit"....something this site has had its share of.But even through all the bullshit that we have had to endure , we keep on coming back. And I credit posters like our next recipient.

Some may scoff at this next comment...so be it...but I really do consider him a "friend". Through the years we have traded dvd's and had conversation outside of HDC.......and I'm pretty sure if I was to ever make the trek to his hometown, he would welcome me with open arms and point me towards the nearest MOTEL 6. [as long as it was near a liquor store...I'm good with that. ]

Also, this next recipient, has a gift that I'm not sure you are all aware of........give him the name of an actress [ nothing too recent ] and he can tell you in what movie she has appeared nekkid.......I kid you not....its a wonderful gift.

So without further ado...it is with great honor..that I present this years very prestigious "HDC HALL OF FAME" award.......to....my brother from another mother....and another country....URGEOK
