Well, I FINALLY decided on the final lineup for the historic twentieth season of the MANOR. Against all odds, we've completed six out of thirteen episodes (not including the Halloween and Christmas specials) and once again we have a fine cross-section of horror and fantasy from all over the world.
My good friend A. Ghastlee Ghoul just got himself inducted into the Horror Host Hall of Fame. And as he was one of the very first to greet me when I started this whole crazy thing, he is ultimately deserving. And yet I continue to hope that one day... one day...
...could you please indulge me and let me know if any of you reading this actually started viewing MANOR episodes because I started promoting them here? Without the MANOR, there would be no RemoD66 on SG, and that's the truth. Twenty seasons. Well over 250 feature film presentations. Hell, we're pushing 285 once we get through this season. Two more and we hit the magic 300. Then maybe I'm going to retire. Or maybe not. A little recognition from the community at large would NOT hurt.
Ever wonder why I identify with the Hopefuls here? That's the biggest and best part of the reason. I have been on the air as a TV horror host since 2002. I came to SG to see if I could join forces with the models and bring additional beauty to the show even as I supported them in their quests. I joined in 2009. "Hopeful since 2009" doesn't sit well with me any more than "Remo D." receiving the recognition of the horror-fan community in the form of something tangible. And yet we plug away.
Let me give you another generous handful of SETS as I build up to something...
We have Former Hopeful Friendlies in the forms of Sairyn...
...as shot by the sensational @sobelle ...
...and Anticss!
Love that hat!
We have a gorgeous Hopeful Friendly Encore from the overwhelming Ocean_!
It's debut time for the colorful Clairejuana...
...and the compelling ClaudiaF!
And last but by absolutely no means least? Remember what I said about "Hopeful Since 2009?" Well, that would account for my wonderful and beautiful unofficially adopted daughter @cadavre ...
...and my dear, deserving South African friend @pyke !
And yet Down Under there's someone who's been waiting even longer despite being EQUALLY worthy of recognition and honor from this very site. Ladies and gentlemen, my long-time friend (on-site and off), the amazing @ainslie ...
...is back with an all-new spectacular...
...and it's high time that we MAKE IT SO. For ALL of them and THEN some.
Meanwhile, share the love, be kind to animals, patronize your local theatre company, visit the MANOR (and send it to the Hall of Fame), say goodbye to The Accessories, hail Firewater and wish me luck!
Your friend,
Remo D.
