Monster Scholar

There has been a veritable outbreak of horror blogging awards across the web and I too have caught the bug! The way these awards work are that once you get it you pass on the love. As one blogger put it, it’s like chainmail but less annoying and these awards replicate faster than the viral videotape from the Ring. First up, I received the One Lovely Blog award from Al Bruno III, at The Wit and Werdness of Al Bruno III . Al Bruno III has the distinct honor of being the first person to follow my blog…ever! and I thank him for putting his faith in me from the start. But that’s not all, I’ve also been bestowed the Fantastically Frightening Blog Award from B-Sol of the Vault of Horror and BJ-C of Day of the Woman , the Ozzie and Harriet of the horror blogging community who I have looked up to since I first started blogging. Here’s what they had to say about Monster Land: The Most Impeccably Beautiful Blog: Monster Land has such a neat Wordpress layout that my job currently uses it ...

Monster Land has received the coveted HZA award for excellence in horror blogging! This prestigious award comes from the master of mayhem himself, Pax Romano at Billy Loves Stu . Here is what Pax had to say about yours truly: The Best Damn Written Blog That's So Good, It Puts Everyone Else to Shame ... award goes to th e Monster Scholar, Jeanette , and her labor of love, MONSTER LAND . Well executed, painf ully res earched, and often witty, Jeanette brings some much needed class to the horror blogging community. I feel a bit like Kristin Chenoweth when she won the Emmy for best supporting actress in a comedy. "This is heavy...::squeak::"

Monster Land was recently honored with the Honest Scrap award from Cortez the Killer @ Planet of Terror and has now received the Chuck Norris Black Belt of Blogging from the very entertaining horror blog, Chuck Norris Ate My Baby . So in keeping with the tradition of these awards I am conferring my very own Necronomicon Award for Outstanding Blogs of Horror to ten deserving blogs that keep me up well past my bedtime, and revealing ten things about myself you don't know. Billy Loves Stu : As a gay man and lover of horror, Pax Romano delights in exploring the homoerotic undertones of horror movies past and present. He highlights everything from the camp antics of Ed Wood to the subtle eroticism of Scream (his blog’s namesake) with a fresh perspective and unmistakable passion for the genre. There’s no doubt that his unique take on horror, not to mention his long running series on horror hunks, will leave you salivating for more. Evil on Two Legs : Kept running by a team of bang up...

I’m not one to toot my own horn, but far be it from me to prevent others from doing so in my stead. Yours truly was conferred the great read award from the premier blog on b-films and other paraphernalia from the atomic age, Radiation Cinema! . Mykal's blog was recently presented with a Great Read Award from I Like Horror Movies , and this esteemed author was generous enough to bestow the honor on several other horror blogs. What Mykal had to say about Monster Land: Like the monsters she so loves, her blog is beautiful to behold. The entire joint has a Famous Monster of Filmland feel and, not for nothing, absolutely vibrates brains (as in intelligence, not zombie food - back off, Ryan!). As her name suggests, your Host has a deep understanding of Horror's past and can make it howl in present day - or night. Always worth rising from the tomb for. I really appreciate Mykal’s support and all the encouragement I’ve received from the horror blogging community, as my body of work co...
