Alfred Haber Distribution Inc. (AHDI) has signed on as the international distributor of Spike TV’s 2006 Scream Awards, the first annual televised kudo fest celebrating horror, sci-fi and fantasy productions. The event is slated to air in Spike in October, with AHDI handling worldwide distribution with the exception of the U.K. and Canada.
Spike TV Scream Awards will honor both genre legends and the newest horror, sci-fi and fantasy sensations in film, television, comic books and music. The two-hour event will also feature several fan-favorite categories as a host of celebrities make appearances and major label recording artists perform.
‘It’s hard to imagine that the multi-billion dollar male-driven horror, sci-fi and fantasy industries have not been recognized in a big mainstream way until now,’ says Casey Patterson, executive producer and senior VP of event production and talent development for Spike TV.
A division of MTV Networks, Spike TV recently scored with its own original comic-book adaptation, Blade: The Series, which gave the network its most-watched premiere to date. Following the demise of its toon block, The Strip, Spike is also taking another stab at animation with Afro Samurai. Starring the voice of Samuel L. Jackson, the anime action series is in production at famed Japanese animation studio GONZO and is slated to debut sometime this year.
