Mystery Photo 9-20

Welcome to another Monday, and another day closer to Halloween. But then again, we all know that Halloween is something we celebrate all year round. Well, maybe except eating all the candy … Let’s get down to business, shall we? Our last photo was from the 1974 film The Freakmaker, also known as The Mutations, starring the wonderfully entertaining Donald Pleasance and the very hidden Tom Baker. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Brian Doering, Kevin Hart, Troy Howarth, Erik Martin, Lee Nattrass, Todd Warren. Well done indeed!

So this week’s photo might be pretty easy right off the bat. Or ax, as the case may be. Or maybe you think its that easy? Nothing like planting that little seed of doubt, huh? Take a peek and see what you think. Just send us an email with your answer to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Running late again today with our photo, folks. We were just at the HorrorHound Weekend so are running a little ragged right now. Had to go to work today after getting maybe 8 hours of sleep the entire weekend! But it was well worth it. Had a blast there, as always. But let’s get to business! Last week’s photo was of course from Paul Naschy’s Assignment Terror. Since last month was his birthday, I figured I had to put one of his films up there. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Peggie Christie, Dave Fronto, Kevin Hart, Troy Howarth, Mike P, and Michael Shields. Well done!

So this week’s photo might be a pretty easy one, so consider it a bone, since I’m still running on empty! Take a look and see what you can come up with. Just remember to send us your guess in an email to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Mystery Photo 9-6

Happy Labor Day to everyone! Hope you have the day off to enjoy some of the simpler things in life, like watching a movie or reading a book. Or maybe even going for a walk or bike ride. Just something to feed your passion and bring a little happiness to you. Sometimes, that is all it takes. But down to business. Our photo from last week was from a version of Dracula except done entirely with sign language, called Deafula! Made in 1975, written and directed by and starring in the lead role, is Peter Wolf. It was the first horror film ever to be filmed using the American Sign Language. While it may be considered for of an oddity, I love the fact that it actually exists. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Bryan Martinez, and Gary McGuire. Well done!

For today’s photo, we’re going with something that might be remembered from another movie, but since that was in a black and white film, it can’t be that one. So you’ll have to think a little harder. Just remember to send your guess to us in an email (we have a better chance of not forgetting or losing it that way), to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Sorry for the late update here, but we were away the whole weekend, getting way too little sleep, but watching a ton of movies at the drive-in and eating way too much unhealthy (but damn tasty) food! We got home last evening, but I was so tired I could barely concentrate to real emails! I’m a little rested now, so let’s get to business. Our photo from last week was the 1959 French film Les yeux sans visage, or known here in the states as Eyes Without a Face. If you haven’t seen it, I can’t recommend it enough. Congrats to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Cate Cameron, Peggie Christie, Brian Doering, Christopher Dyer, Dave Fronto, Kevn Hart, Erik Martin, Gary McGuire, Kristin Wicks, Nick Wilson, William Wilson. Always warms my heart to see people identifying a classic film.

Okay, this week’s film might be a tough one, but a tricky one, but if you pay attention, you might see a secret sign to give you a clue. Just remember to send your answer to me through email, at jon@kitleyskrypt.com (best way for me NOT to forget it). Good Luck!

I apologize for not having a new photo up last week but just had too many fires going to get it done. I hope to have some news to announce soon that will sort of explain some of the lack of updates as of late. But for now, let us get to the business at hand. Our last photo was from Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s 1989 ghost epic Sweet Home. A nice old fashion haunted house movie that is pretty damn effective. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Kevin Hart, Erik Martin, and Gary McGuire. Well done!

Now on to this week’s photo. Don’t stare too long or bad things can happen! Just remember to send your answer to us, at jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good luck!

Mystery Photo 8-2

Welcome to August! Sorry for the late posting today, but we were at Flashback Weekend over the weekend and had one hell of a time, so I’m still pretty beat after that. Going to be a few days before I fully recover! So let me get this done before I pass out! Our photo from last week was from Lucio Fulci’s The Black Cat (1981), with one of our favorite actors, Patrick Magee. Congrats to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Peggie Christie, Kevin Hart, Troy Howarth, Gary Laughner, Erik Martin, Gary McGuire, Tim Palace, Vincent Simonelli, Todd Warren, and Greg Wojick. You all are scholars in my eyes!

This week’s photo might be a little tougher. Granted, I usually say that, don’t I? Well, we’ll have to see how many send in the correct answer this time to see if I’m right. Take a peak, and if you know it, send your answer to us in an email to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck.

Mystery Photo 7-26

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, but it has been a very busy these last couple of weeks. And it doesn’t look like this week is going to be much better. With our first show in almost 2 years this weekend, Flashback Weekend in Rosemont, IL, we still have a lot to do to get ready. So let’s not waste time, right?

Last week’s photo was from the 1995 film The Prophecy, though when I first saw it, it was under the title God’s Army. Really enjoyed that one but unfortunately the following sequels sort of went downhill, if you ask me. But kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Aaron AuBuchon, Peggy Christie, Kevin Hart, Erik Martin, and Gary McGuire. Well done!

This week’s photo is a nice and eerie shot, with fog and spooky looking trees. And … what’s in that bag??? If you know it, send your answer to us in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Mystery Photo 7-19

Sorry people, running a little late today, but our latest photo is up for you to ponder. But first, let us review last week’s photo, shall we? It is from the one and only, The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971), starring, of course, Vincent Price. The photo is the remnants of poor Terry-Thomas, checking the box off for the curse of blood for Phibes’ quest. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Gregory Avery, Dahlia Daniels, Dave Fronto, Kevin Hart, Bob Hartman, Troy Howarth, Doug Lamoreux, Erik Martin, Gary McGuire, Jeff Owens, Jen Slotler, James Turner, and Nick Wilson. Well done!

For this week’s photo, don’t gaze too long into it, or you may end up just like the character in the photo! Just remember to send your guess to us at jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And Good Luck!

Mystery Photo 7-12

While last week’s photo was meant to be a little tribute to Jaws and the holiday weekend, I’m sure some could argue that using Lamberto Bava’s Devil Fish, aka Monster Shark and a dozen other titles, might not have been the best title! But as cheesy as the film is, you got to give credit to Bava for trying to do something a little different, and especially to the artwork used in promoting the film. I know I’d rush out and see it with those posters pimping it! Kudos to the following for sending in the correct title: Hoby Abernathy, Kevin Hart, Bob Hartman, and Erik Martin. Well done!

Now on to this week’s photo which is a favorite of mine. It might be pretty easy for most but I’m hoping that I just might stump a few of you. Plus, if you do know it, it will probably bring a little smile to your face. Sure, in a little deviant way, but still a smile! Remember, just send your answer to me here, at jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Mystery Photo 7-5

Welcome to another Monday, and a new month of Mystery Photos! Since the 4th was yesterday, I thought I might as well throw in a little tribute to one of my favorites of all time, and the first real summer blockbuster, the one and only Jaws. So no, this shot is not from that film but one of the many rip … I mean “inspired from” titles. Since there are so many, I figured it still might be a little tough to figure out which one. Unless of course, you’ve seen it already. Or you’re one of those doing a internet image search, but that would be cheating so I know you’re not doing that. Right???

But before I forget, let’s get to last week’s photo. It was from The Final Terror (1983), one of the better slashers to come out from woods during that era. Great cast and a lot of fun. Kudos to Hoby Abernathy, Aaron Christensen, Christopher Dyer, Kevin Hart, and Erik Martin for sending in the correct answer.

Okay, check out the pic below and see what you can come up with. Just remember to send your answer to us throw email (that way I don’t lose it!) at jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!
