International Horror Guild Award

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The International Horror Guild Award (also known as the IHG Award) was an accolade recognizing excellence in the field of horror/dark fantasy, presented by the International Horror Guild (IHG) from 1995 to 2008.[1][2][3]

The IHG Awards were determined by a jury of notable horror/dark fantasy critics and reviewers, which has included

Dragon*Con.[1]

Originally in the form of a "winged dog gargoyle" figure on a base, in 2002 the IHG Award was redesigned as a black, tombstone-shaped and free-standing plaque. The Living Legend Award had the same design, but in clear acrylic.[4]
