INDIANAPOLIS — Film historian Eric Grayson was honored at the 17th annual Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards ceremony in Louisville, Kentucky, on June 1. The awards, named after a B-movie villain in 1940s films, honor the best in classic horror research, creativity, and film preservation. More than 4,500 ballots were cast worldwide, a record number.

Grayson received a statuette known as a Rondo for supplying a print (the only one known to survive) of the pilot of the 1963-64 TV show, The Outer Limits. He also did the commentary for one of the extras on that pilot on the two-volume DVD set. He and others involved in the production and release of the show’s DVDs received Rondos for the category of the Best Overall Package of Extra Features. The boxed set contains all 49 episodes, 42 commentaries, and unseen alternates. The series will receive other awards at the ceremony, as well.
