Before we get started, I wanted to make sure everyone knew that I wasn’t referencing Martin Luther King’s holiday last Monday, but in fact it was Edgar Allan Poe’s birthday. Obviously two very different people and especially what they contributed to the world. Wasn’t trying to imply one was more important than the other, but this is the Krypt, where we try to celebrate those that had made some contributions to the world we love. And Poe definitely did just that. And on that note, the film was from Premature Burial, the one Poe film Corman did without Vincent Price, but starring Ray Milland instead. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Dave Fronto, Kevin Hart, Erik Martin, and Charles Miller. Well done!

Now on to this week’s photo. No birthday tie in this week. Just a creepy little film for decades past. Damn does that make me feel old! But take a peek and then send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And most of all, Stay Warm, and Good Luck!

Not sure what part of the world you’re at, but here in the Chicagoland area, it’s a brisk -2 degrees outside. Gotta love it! Good excuse to stay inside and watch movies! But before we get to that, let’s get some business taken care of first. Our photo from last week was from Voodoo Man (1944), starring Bela Lugosi, John Carradine, and the wonderful entertaining George Zucco, who is featured in the photo. Sure, might not be on too many Top Ten list but damn if it isn’t a fun film. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct photo: Chris Dyer, Dave Fronto, Kevin Hart, Doug Lamoreux, Charles Miller, Bryan Senn, Mike Shields. Well done!

So, today’s photo is a little special. If you know the movie, and know what day it is, then it makes perfect sense, doesn’t it? And if it doesn’t, do a little research to find out, or wait until next Monday. But take a look at the photo before and see if you recognize what film it is from. Just remember to send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskyrpt.com. Good Luck!

Look at that! We made it through that first full week of the new year. Though personally, I’ve been battling a simple cold virus that has had me trying to cough up my lungs, but besides that, things are going just swell! It seems January is not a good month for me, since last year around this time I had Covid. I guess a bad cold is an improvement, right? Always got to look at the positives! Our photo from last week was from Eugenio Martín’s A Candle for the Devil aka It Happened at Nightmare Inn (1973). I have to say the recently released 4K disc of this from Vinegar Syndrome looks just amazing and has some great extras on it as well. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Steve Archacki, Dave Fronto, and Kevin Hart. Well done!

For this week’s photo, going a little further back. So, take a look and see if you can correctly identify what film this shot is taken from. Remember to send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!
