I know the world, specifically the US, is a real shithole right now. There are a lot of people deeply affected by what is going on, from losing their jobs, insurance, and just basic human rights. I always wanted to keep the real world and all of that away from this site because I wanted this to be a place people could go to, to temporarily escape all the BS of reality. Not to dismiss or diminish the struggles everyone might be going through, if I could try and point out that in the midst of all this chaos and crisis, there are still some positives out there.

Wow. It just hit me the other day that it’s been a little over 10 whole years since I moved the Krypt from the old website to this new blog format on WordPress. I remember being very concerned and even nervous about making the move, thinking I was losing something in the change. Looking back on it now, I think it was a pretty good decision, especially when you look at websites now compared to 20 years ago.

In those 10 years here, I’ve had over 2500 posts, which I guess shows that I’m still dedicated to helping to spread my love and passion for the horror genre. Granted, in just another 3 years, the Krypt will hit its big 30-year mark, which alone seems hard to believe. But again, it goes to show how much I believe in spreading this “gospel”. When I realize that no matter how long I’ve been a fan myself, that I am still learning so much about the horror genre, and cinema itself, it shows me that there is no endgame here. There is always so much to see and learn. And with every new thing you learn can affect how you see and feel about something you’ve already experienced. With more of an understanding on a particular sub-genre, or a specific film, such as the struggles getting it made, when you view that film again, it will change your viewing, even if its minor.

The deviants are back to give you nightmares, with back-to-back midnight screenings at the Music Box Theatre in Chicago! On Friday, May 30th, at 11:45pm, they will be hosting a screening of Dream Demon (1988), an underrated horror film that never got the attention it deserves. Directed by Harley Cokeliss, who had previously given us Battletruck (1982) and Black Moon Rising (1986) and starring Jemma Redgrave (who would later go on to appear in a bunch of Dr. Who episodes), Kathleen Wilhoite, and Timothy Spall.

Almost halfway through April. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not. But I guess we still need to focus on the good out there, no matter what. It just seems to be getting harder to do that. So hopefully this little pictorial puzzle will give you a few seconds of a break from reality! But first, let’s review last week. It was from the 1981 film Evilspeak, back when you could contact the evil forces from your computer! Boy . . . if they only knew how true that would be. Congrats to the following for sending in the correct answer, and there was a lot of you: Hoby Abernathy, Todd Barwick, Mike Benedict, Chris Dyer, Dave Friedman, Kevin Hart, Bob Hartman, Christopher Highland, Ken Johnson, Steven Kennedy, Joel Kolsrud, Erik Martin, Jeff Owens, Michael Pniewski, and Brandon Trokey. Nice to know that movie still is remembered fondly!

Here’s this week’s photo. Take a look and see if you can pick where this shot is from! Just remember to send you answer to me, at jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And most of all, keep those positive thoughts going and good luck!

Welcome to April! We’re 2 shows into our Convention World Tour, and so far, it’s been a pretty fun time! Let’s hope that continues. Our last photo was from Leprechaun: Origins (2014), which is you can get past the fact that he looks like younger creature from The Descent (2005), it’s really not a bad film. Kudos to Mike Benedict, Kevin Hart, and Erik Martin for sending in the correct answer! Well done.

This week’s photo is a little different, so let’s see if anybody can pick up what movie it is from. Just remember to send me your guess in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!
