Late once again, but here it is nonetheless. I blame Cinema Wasteland for making me so damn tired today. Even though we weren’t vending there, we still had one hell of a time and came home pretty worn out! Still got a lot of other things I’m working on here, but I wanted to make sure I get a new photo posted. But first, our photo from last week. It was from After Midnight, the 2019 film that starred Jeremy Gardner, who also wrote it and co-directed it! It’s a great little film that is very suspenseful and definitely a must see. And what a perfect time to watch it, huh? Kudos to Bryan Martinez and Gary McGuire for sending in the correct answer.

This week’s photo might be a little easier to figure out. But we’ll see. Just remember to send me your guess, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Dr. AC’s annual Scare-A-Thon is upon us once again, as he does his part to help the community through watching horror movies! As he puts it, it is Caring through Scaring! His goal is to not only watch 31 movies in 31 days, but to help show diversity, he is picking 31 movies from 31 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES! How’s that for going above and beyond!

Each year, AC choosing an organization that he feels not only needs the money, but also some more attention for the fine work they are doing. This year’s recipient is Albany Park Theater Project. When AC was telling me about this theater group, it had me really intrigued. The group is a a teen ensemble and adult artistic team that “amplifies and illuminates the voices and experiences of our immigrant and first-generation community.”

Created in 1997, works in “telling the stories of people whose voices are not always heard in ways that respect and honor them.” What a great way to help the next generation have a chance of making the needed changes we need today, as well as maybe possibly teaching something to their audience.

Yes, I am finally joining the league of podcasting. Kicking and screaming the whole time, but it looks like actually is going to happen. Had no idea the amount of work going into everything besides the actually recording the episodes, but hopefully in the next week or so, you’ll be able to see the results.

The name of the podcast is Discover the Horror, and your hosts for this, along with myself, are Damien Glonek, co-creatore of The Living Dead Dolls, and Aaron AuBuchon, who teaches film and video production and film studies at Webster University in St. Louis. We all share the passion of the horror genre, so our goal is fire up that same passion in other fans, getting them to seek out films, both old and new, and from around the world. Think of us as tour guides helping you along the path to Discover the Horror!

Stay tuned for updates on when our first episode goes live, which should be in a week or two. In the meantime, here are the links to our social media pages:

While I do have a few “toys” in my collection, I wouldn’t say that I collect them. There are so many these days, it would just be way to expensive for me to keep up, and still afford all the books and movies I want to still get. But seeing these two figures that were recently announced, I may have to add them to my collection.

Nothing reminds me of my childhood and the beginnings of my life-long love of the monsters and the horror genre than watching Saturday morning programs like Groovie Ghoulies, Monster Squad, and a mixture of reruns of The Addams Family and The Munsters, besides the late night shows like The Night Stalker, Ghost Story / Circle of Fear, and The Night Gallery. And for obvious reasons, my cereal of choice back then was, of course, Frankenberry. Every now and then I’d throw some Boo Berry into the mix, but Frankenberry was always the go-to. So to have one of those figures sitting on my bookshelf is another easy way to bring back some fond childhood memories in an instance.

After all, isn’t that why we collect what we do? To have that little gateway into our past and the pleasures that it brings?

I should have posted this after the first comment, but I figured it was just that person. And then someone else mentioned it to me, and then another one over this last weekend, so I figured I’d throw out a little explanation to make sure everyone understands.

It’s about the green font color that I use for my site here. I didn’t realize at first but when it goes out to the ones that have signed up for updates, the background isn’t black, like on the site, but the font color is still green, making it a little difficult to read. Still trying to figure out how I can changed that up a bit, but haven’t gotten there just yet.

So if you do get the update, say on your phone and you have trouble reading it, all I can say is that I apologize, but you’ll have to go to the site, where the black background will make it much easier to read. Or at least until I figure out a better way.
