Well, since the Scream Awards tend to focus on the theatrical releases, it only seems fitting to spotlight the 2009 Reaper Awards which is the first awards campaign dedicated entirely to horror on home video and the nominees have been chosen by a panel of judges from within the horror community.
Horror fans will now have the opportunity to choose the best horror DVDs and Blu-Ray Discs of the year in an online vote held Sept. 1 through Oct. 1 at ReaperAwards.com. Winners of the "Grimmys" will receive handcrafted Grim Reaper statuettes designed and sculpted by Joe Sena, president of SphereWerx LLC, parent company of the FearWerx horror and EMCE Toy brands. The Reaper Awards will be held on Oct. 13 at the historic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The event will include a red carpet for VIP guests, pre-show cocktail party and dinner, followed by an awards show featuring celebrity presenters. Although horror fans everywhere are encouraged to vote on the best DVDs and Blu-Ray Discs of the year, the awards show is currently only open to those fans who work in the industry. Reaper Awards 2009 is a professional business event for retailers, distributors, manufacturers and suppliers in home entertainment.
