Each is worthy of the award, but there is one, that especially this time of year, October is fondly remembered; Heralding a new icon of terror...Michael Myers.

Dracula
Frankenstein
Freaks
The Raven


All four movies are living examples in horror in their own right...yet one does stand out from the rest. The HDC Honorary Horror Oscar goes to...


FREAKS

Each has something to offer but one, perhaps due to the subject and the director, did stand out. Its a unique film in its own right.
