Chiller Eyegore Awards Recap

Part of: Halloween 2009

For ten years, Universal Studios Hollywood has hosted the Eyegore Awards, which recognizes and celebrates the Horror Industry’s best. On October 2nd, the annual tradition continued. After the awards show, Halloween Horror Nights, when Universal Studios Theme Park turns into a giant live horror film, began. Dozens of celebrities from the horror genre showed up.

The award show was hosted by Corey Feldman, who was very charismatic and quite funny. As he said, the Chiller Eyegore Awards Show is the “only award show where there is reward for stabbing colleagues in the back.” Corey’s newest movie is Lost Boys 3, which is coming to theaters soon.

The first award presented was for “Best Villain.” The award went to Noah Segan (Deadgirl). It was Noah’s first Eyegore award and he said, “I’m very excited.” After that, he said he was “looking forward to seeing some of the mazes.”

The next award was the “Jack Pierce Lifetime Achievement Award.” The award went to Rick Baker, a special effects make-up artist that has worked on 42 films and won six Academy Awards. Corey called Baker, “The Legend! The Legend!”

Baker said that the movie Frankenstein “inspired him to become a make-up artist.” Oddly enough, Jack Pierce did the make-up in the movie Frankenstein. Baker's next project is The Wolfman (2010), which he describes as an “old school, gothic horror movie.”

Baker then added, “The fun is doing the work. I don’t do the work to get the awards.”

In July, a film contest was announced. The goal was to submit a short horror film and submit it to Universal. Over 100 films were entered. The prize was a broadcast of the filmmaker’s short film on the Chiller network, $1,000, and a trip for two to the opening night of Halloween Horror Nights (October 2nd) in Hollywood.
