Books, Books, and More Books!
Nothing like finding even more titles for my ever-growing list of “Need to add to the Library” that seems to better longer and longer every day, which constantly gives the middle finger to those that say this kind of media is dead. Recently, I have come across some new titles that I know will be upcoming editions to my library. Very soon, my precious….very soon.
Mystery Photo 9-19
Yes, I know. I’ve been slacking off again and missed last week’s photo. I’d like to say it was because I was exhausted from the HorrorHound Weekend right before that, but that still isn’t a good enough excuse. Granted, I say that now with Cinema Wasteland hovering over me in a few weeks! So we shall see! But let us get down to business, shall we?
Our last photo was from none other than Clive Barker’s Hellraiser. I have to say I’m pretty surprised more people didn’t get this one. But I did get correct answers from William Wilson and Greg Wojick, so well done!
This week’s pick might be a little head scratcher. Then again, I try to make all of them head scratchers, don’t I? But take a look and see what you can come up with. For some, it might be pretty easy. For others, maybe not. But good luck either way. As always, please remember not to post your answers here, but send an email to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. That way everyone can enjoy the quest.

En la Memoria del Sr. Naschy
Today would have been the 82nd birthday of Spanish horror icon, Jacinto Molina, better known to us horror fans as Paul Naschy. Though he has been gone for almost seven years now, his memory and legacy is still as strong now, if not more, then when he was still with us. I think that has something to do with the fact that Naschy himself was so passionate about his work that it still comes through in the countless films that he left us. And with each new year passing, younger fans become aware of him and his work and his legacy continues. Thanks to DVD and blu-ray, and companies like Demios, Vinegar Sydrome, Kino Lober, Code Red, and the rest, they are helping keeping him and his films alive and well, and available for years to come.
Mystery Photo 9-5
Sorry about missing last week with a new photo but after the long weekend at the drive-in, needed a little time to rest up. Been a crazy week as well, so that’s not helping with our regular updates. But we’re hoping back with plenty of updates this week, starting with a new Mystery Photo. This one might be a little easier than what the last few have been, but we’ll see.
But before we get to it, let us go over the last pic. It was from the 1953 version of Marie Belloc Lowndes’ 1913 novel The Lodger, this time called The Man in the Attic, starring a young Jack Palance, playing the troubled character who may or may not be the one called The Ripper! While I don’t think it is nearly as good as the 1944 version with Cegar, I think it is still worth seeing. Kudos to the only two that sent in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy and Doug Lamoreux. Well done!
Now for our latest photo. Take a good look and see what you can come up with. Please don’t post your answers here, but send it in an email to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. As always, good luck!
Super Monster Movie Fest Part 2
I tend to have a problem sleeping once the sun comes out, so it was around 8am when I woke up. Not only was the sun out, but it seemed to be beating down on the van, raising the internal temperature like an oven, even this early. The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the heat. We had left the windows cracked open a bit so it wouldn’t be stuffy in the van, but it was just hot and we felt like we were baking. As we started to get up, I realized that maybe staying in the van wasn’t the best of ideas. Although, I did discover that I wasn’t as old as I thought I was, being able to change my clothes in the back of the van! At my age, it is those kind of achievements you have to celebrate!
Once we were up, dressed and moving about, and immediately started to put some thought into breakfast. The concession stand was still open and were serving breakfast items like breakfast burritos, biscuits and gravy, etc. But we were surprised to discover that the Tamale Place in Indianapolis opens at 6:30 in the morning, meaning that we can have them for breakfast! And so we were off.
