St. Petersburg, FL, United States of America - February 18, 2016 /MarketersMedia/ —
With 2016 iHorror.com Horror Movie Award voting open until Feb. 26, fans will be thrilled to learn about the provenance of the striking award statues themselves. Sculpted by Derek Garcia of Sci-Fy’s Face Off with design input from Glenn Douglas Packard and iHorror.com publisher Anthony Pernicka, the weighty, imposing, cast-metal awards are being created by R.S. Owens, the company that turns out trophies for the Oscars. Pictures of the new R.S Owens-produced iHorror Award are available now at iHorror.com, where an accompanying article details the process of creating them.
"It's that time of year again, and we couldn't be more excited," Pernicka said, "With so many great movies released over the last year, the 2016 iHorror Awards are going to be spectacular, and we wanted to make sure the trophies themselves would live up to that standard. We couldn't have asked for a better partner than R.S. Owens, the company that produces the iconic Oscars award statues every year. We're extremely happy with how our own Horror Award trophies have turned out, and we think our fans and the recipients are going to be, too."
As one of the Internet's top destinations for horror fans, iHorror.com serves up a regular stream of related news updates, reviews, ranking lists, viewing guides, and more. With applications available for iOS and Android devices on their respective app stores, the site is a one-stop destination for those who crave the thrills and chills that horror movies and television shows can deliver.
One of the site's most popular and anticipated features is its annual horror award contest, whereby readers vote on their favorite movies, performances, and other horror standouts from the previous year. Voting for the 2016 iHorror.com awards opened in January, with fans immediately flocking to the online ballot box to make their own horror preferences known.
With such an impressive response from the start, iHorror.com publisher Anthony Pernicka was determined to ensure that the awards themselves would be equally so. Working with wide-ranging Hollywood talent Glenn Douglas Packard and artist Derek Garcia of SyFy's Face Off season three, he helped conceive a menacing, Grim Reaper-inspired statute design. Garcia then painstakingly turned that vision into a sculpture that was delivered to Sandra Thomas of R.S. Owens, the company that produces the award statues for the Academy Awards.
Impressed with the design, Thomas was tasked with turning the plaster-based prototype into a full line of cast metal awards. Those finished awards can be seen now in pictures at iHorror.com, with a detailed article describing the whole process of creating them. Visitors to iHorror.com can also help decide which movies, actors, and others are most worthy of receiving the trophies by casting their own votes for the 2016 awards until the Feb. 26 deadline, with the results to be announced on March 3.
