24th Annual Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards

It's hard for us at Film Masters to believe that another season of Rondo Awards is here! We're thankful for the support of the classic film community that allows us to keep doing what we love to do. It's year 3 for us as a company, which is a pretty big deal when you consider that most startups fail in their first couple of years. We truly couldn't do what we do with the support of you all. Thank you.

In the past year we've continued to put out Special Editions and expanded our line of Limited Edition titles. We wish we could give all releases the red carpet treatment, but we also have such a deep archive of films to preserve and release! Our Limited Editions allow us to release more restorations sooner — hopefully a good compromise!

Thanks to our incredible fans, we've also been nominated for some RONDO's again!

See the full list below, as well as how to vote.

To sum up from Film Masters; we're proud of the work we've done in 2025 and we have a pretty full slate for 2026! In addition to acquiring distribution rights to the Wade Williams Collection (woah, there is a lot there!!), we have some long time restorations and connections we've been keeping quiet in the background. Stay tuned!
