To be nominated for the Rondo Award is about the biggest honor we could receive, as the people who vote for them are truly the keepers to the kingdom on all things to do with classic monsters. Our vision of the project was to get a modern message through in the form of something that looked like an old horror movie. I'm glad it connected with Rondo voters, as they truly make this a better world of gods and monsters."
