The 2018 Fright Meter Award nominations have been revealed and Hereditary, Mandy, and Halloween lead the pack with nominations in nearly every category.
The Fright Meter Awards have been presented annually since 2007 by the Fright Meter Awards Committee, a registered non profit organization dedicated solely to honoring the best in horror each year. Nominees and winners are determined by the committee, which consists of horror bloggers (including myself), actors, directors, producers, and others involved in the industry.
