Hopefully everyone was responsible and still has all their fingers intact. We had so much rain and thunderstorms over the last few days, I would have been surprised if we didn’t hear any fireworks going on, but there are those that were determined to try and blow themselves up. But let’s get to the real reason we’re here. I have to say, after the last week of that brutal heat, I figured last week’s photo would show that it could always be hotter! That shot was of course from The Thing from Another World (1951) and it is one that amazes me to this day, each and every time I watch it. Were there any safety people on the set that day? I mean, we have a stuntman already completely engulfed in flames, so let’s have someone else throw a bucket of frameable liquid at him… while others NOT in fire suits are standing very close to him!!!! I am also very happy to see so many people recognize the film this shot was from. Still shows that these classics, some 75 years old, can still have an effect on today’s viewers. So major kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Todd Barwick, Wendy Bodine, Tom Brennan, Aaron Christensen, Dave Fronto, Jennifer Glonek, Kevin Hart, Bob Hartman, Christopher Highland, Doug Lamoreux, Denise LoRusso, Tim Palace, Michael Pniewski, Chris Richmond, Bryan Senn, Mickey Thompson, and William Wilson. Well done, indeed!
Okay, not that’s it’s July and hopefully the rain and heat take a break for a bit, let’s get to this week’s photo. Take a look and see what you can come up with. Just send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Stay cool, and good luck!
