Welcome to 2020, and to a whole new year of Mystery Photos! I really hope everyone enjoys these little pictorial puzzles we bring each Monday, or at least try to! I always say that my devious plan is to put these movie titles in your brain that way if you haven’t seen them, it may get you seek them out. Plus, if you have seen them, sometimes its a nice remembering of some great (and admittedly not so great sometimes) movies out there. So here’s hoping to another year of good suggestions for you.

Our photo from last week came from Finland and is called The White Reindeer. This came out in 1952. So it is pretty obvious from the photo, this fanged vampire film pre-dated both Hammer’s Horror of Dracula (1958) and Mexico’s El Vampiro (1957) by a few years. Don’t feel bad, but I just found that out myself! Just shows you that you can always learn something new about the genre, no matter how long you’ve been a fan. Kudos out to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Aaron Christensen, Bob Hartman, and Vincent Simonelli. Well done, indeed!

So our first photo of the new year hopefully will be a classic as well some day. Take a peek at it and see what you can come up with. As always, please remember not to post your answers here so that others can have a guess. The easiest way to do it (and also the easiest way to make sure I don’t miss your guess), is to send me an email (jon@kitleyskrypt.com) with your guess. Good Luck!
