Two Rondo Nominations. One Magazine. Your Vote.

 We're still processing this.

SPACE MONSTERS has been nominated for a Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award for Best Magazine of 2025.

And Elizabeth Belmont's article "Elizabeth Bathory" from SPACE MONSTERS #2 is also nominated for Best Article of 2025.

We're in our first year. We're up against Fangoria. Rue Morgue. Little Shoppe of Horrors. Monster Bash. The magazines that built the genre. The magazines we grew up reading.

And now, we're on the ballot with them.

Why It Matters

We built SPACE MONSTERS because we love this stuff. The movies. The monsters. The history. The truth. Elizabeth wrote her article because she had something to say about the Countess of Blood—and it wasn't the story you've heard before.

Now we're on the ballot with the legends. Fangoria. Rue Morgue. Little Shoppe of Horrors. The magazines that built the genre.

We're in our first year. We're nominated twice.

Now we need your vote.
