Last year The Troll Hunter walked away with Film of the Year
Last year the This Is Horror Awards 2011 were a great success – we received votes from across the world and were fortunate enough to have our Awards covered in a multitude of media. This year we’re back and the awards will be bigger and better than ever.
The first stage of the This Is Horror Awards 2012 begins now. Readers can e-mail in their nominations for each of the fifteen Award categories. Taking into consideration the nominations for each category This Is Horror will then draw up a shortlist.
The nominations stage runs from September 3 2012 through until October 31 2012.
