A new year, a new Monday, which means a new Mystery Photo! Unfortunately, it seems nobody recognized our photo from last week. It was from Ghost of Kasane Swamp (1970), a staple in Japanese ghost stories, which has been filmed a few times. It has recently been released in the 2nd volume of Daiei Gothic from Radiance. Highly recommend both sets!

So on to this week’s photo. See if anybody can recognize where this shot came from. Take a good look and then send me an email with you guess, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Welcome to our very last Mystery Photo of 2025. It would have been nice if these photos were more terrifying than the world right now, but sadly not. But I hope these weekly pictorial puzzles at least have been a slight distraction for some of you. But we’ll continue with them into next year, to continue to keep that gray matter between your ears working a little more. Congrats to Bryan Senn and William Wilson for sending in the correct answer for last week’s photo, which was from the little Australian film Houseboat Horror (1989). Not a great film, but there is fun to be had.

Now on to our last one for the year. Take a good look and see if you can recognize where this shot is from. Just remember to send me your guess in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And most of all, Good Luck!

Welcome to Monday! Hopefully this will be a short work week for some of you, and for those that it isn’t, I feel for you. Hopefully you have time to enjoy some of the holiday festivities. Last week’s photo was apparently a tough one. One got one correct answer, and that was from William Wilson. The film is the Blood Salvage (1990), which actually starred John Saxon and Ray Walston! So, a big kudos out to Will for recognizing that head in the jar!

Okay, this week’s photo might be another obscure on so put on your thinking caps! Take a look and see what you can think of. Just remember to send your answer to me, by sending me an email to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Happy Monday! We survived our freezing temps over the weekend, but then again, this is the Midwest, so just another winter. That didn’t stop me from traveling into the Chicago a couple of times over the weekend for some cool events. Hopefully everyone out there also had a good weekend. But let’s get to why you’re here. Our photo from last was indeed from Ryan Coolgler’s Sinners (2025). It was definitely one of my favorites of the year but can understand why not everyone feels the same as I do. But that’s the fun part about movies. We did get quite a few correct answers, which is always nice. They were: Hoby Abernathy, Sherry Alvarez, Aaron Christensen, Dada Debaser, Chris Dyer, Kevin Hart, Steven Kennedy, Erik Martin, Gary Miller, Jeff Owens, Jennifer Pike-Cruz, Chris Richmond, Bryan Senn, and William Wilson! Well done!

This week’s photo is not as current as that last one, nor is it as well known. So yeah, another one from the vaults. Take a peek and see if you can remember where this little guy came from. Just remember to send me your guess in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And Good Luck!

Hopefully wherever you are reading this, you’re not getting pelted with snow, unless of course you want it! We’ve gotten more in the last week or so than I think all of last year. Still, I’d rather have it than the 90-degree heat. But that’s just me. Our photo from last week was from William Castle’s Homicidal (1961), with another fun gimmick with the “Fright Break”. Really miss Castle’s sense of ballyhoo and style. But congrats to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Kevin Hart, Charles Miller, Bryan Senn, Mike Shields, and William Wilson. Well done, indeed!

Take a look at this week’s photo and see if you can recognize where this shot is from. Just remember to send your guesses to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And most of all, stay warm and good luck!

Now that November is over, we can move away from those Turkeys and get back to some more serious movies. Or not. Our last photo of the month was from the wild Hong Kong movie simple called The Cat (1991), which features the most amazing battle between a dog and a cat that you’ll see outside of professional wrestling. Great stuff. Kudos to Lee Nattrass and Tim Palace for sending in the correct answer!

This week’s photo is from a nice little picture from a very popular director. Take a peek and see if you can recognize where it is from. Just remember to send me your guess in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Turkey Day is almost upon us! Are you ready? Do you have your own Turkey Day Marathon planned for this Friday? If so, we’d love to hear your lineup! But let’s get to the business at hand. Our photo from last week was from the wonderful film Carnival of Blood (1970), with Burt Young appearing in his first feature film, though credited as John Harris. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Todd Barwick, Scott Bradley, Kevin Hart, Lee Nattrass, Alan Tromp, Mike Tutino, and William Wilson. Well done!

Now for our last Turkey Day Mystery Photo. This one is a real hoot! Take a look below and see if you recognize this strange film. Just remember to send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And most of all, Good Luck!

See that? We’ve made it through the first week post Halloween! Well done! Are you ready for another Turkey? But let us review last week first. This epic was from 1979 and simple called Bog, starring Gloria DeHaven, Marshall Thompson, Aldo Ray, and Leo Gordon. While I’m not a fan of watching an old couple making out (until I realize I’m the same age!), this is a fun little movie with some actors that might have been taking whatever work they could get. But that doesn’t mean they are phoning it in. And if you’re not familiar with any of these names, I would definitely look up Leo Gordon, because he had a very interesting life. But let’s get to the scholars that sent in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Steve Archacki, Kevin Hart, and Michael Pniewski. Well done!

Now on to this week’s Turkey Photo. Take a good look and see if you can recognize this one. Just remember to send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And most of all, Good Luck!

That’s right, just another 362 days until Halloween! But as we know, that doesn’t mean we can’t stop doing what we do all the time, which is to continue to enjoy the horror genre, watch more movies, learn more about them, and just have fun. Of course, before we get to this week’s photo and theme for the month, let’s talk about last week’s photo. It was from Robert Wise’s 1945 film The Body Snatcher, starring the incredible Boris Karloff, in what many think (me included) was one of his best performances. Not only is it pretty scary, but Karloff proves once again that he was an amazing actor and did not have to be covered in makeup to send chills up your spine. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Steve Archacki, Chris Dyer, Dave Fronto, Kevin Hart, Doug Lamoreux, Michael Pniewski, Bryan Senn, and Todd Warren. Well done!

Since now that Halloween just ended, that means November is the month to celebrate the Turkey. Not talking about bad movies, because we all know that the only bad movie is a boring one. And a Turkey is anything but boring. If you want some examples of what I consider a Turkey, head over to the link on the right, to our Turkey Day Marathon writeups and that will give you plenty of examples. So, for this month, each of our photos is going to be a Turkey. Take a peek and then send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!
