Lifetime Achievement Award: WINNER JONATHAN FRID – from stage & Screen. Mr. Frid has been seen in many different formats from silver screen to small screen. Primetime TV to Daytime TV. You name it, he’s done it. In 1966, he took what was intended to be a 13-week role as Barnabas Collins on "Dark Shadows". That 13-week role stretched into five years and he became a pop culture icon as a spiky-haired, spiky toothed reluctant vampire. Upon completion of the "Dark Shadows" series, he hung up his cape for good, but never left the world of horror. He was featured in "The Devil’s Daughter" and Oliver Stone’s directorial debut, "Seizure".
