Welcome back to life! That goes mainly for me rather than you. Last week I contracted an infection of some sort that laid me out on my ass. With temps hitting 102.7 at one point while feeling like I’d been run over by a bus… twice, there is nothing more than going to the doctor, running a bunch of tests (some twice because they came back negative), from strep, to Covid, to even Mono (!?!?), but all coming back negative. So, of course, must be just some sort of infection. Here’s some drugs and on your way. Lucky for me, within a couple of days, I started to feel a lot better. Still not 100% but so much better than last Wednesday. But enough about me! You came to find out about last week’s pictorial puzzle! Then let’s get to it. It was from the amazingly terrifying film Terrified (2017), from director Demián Rugna. His latest film was When Evil Lurks (2023), which is just as scary. Both films will leave you absolutely on edge. Creepy and truly scary. Rugna is definitely a director to keep an eye out for. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Aaron Christensen, Kevin Hart, Steve Kennedy, Erik Martin, and Tim Palace. Well done!

Now for this week’s photo, might have to do a little digging in the dungeon, since it may look like a dozen different films right off the bat. So, think hard about it and see what you can come up with. Just remember to send me your guess in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And most of all, Good Luck!

Welcome to August! Just 2 months away from our favorite month! Well, at least mine, but I’m sure there are a few others out there. Of course, that also means (hopefully) just one more month of higher temps outside. We survived Flashback Weekend, which is my excuse for not having this posted earlier today. But the sun is still up, so it still counts! But first, let us review last week. While I had a few emails with their guess with basically stating “One of those Rollin films!”, and I do mean a few, it is actually from his 1975 film Lèvres de sang aka Lips of Blood. I have to say, if you’re like me, and watched some of his films decades ago and weren’t that impressed with them, I urge you to go back and check some of them out. You might find yourself changing your mind, again, like myself. Anyway, kudos to the following: Hoby Abernathy, Aaron Aubuchon, Aaron Christensen, Dada Debaser, Chris Dyer, Dave Fronto, Ken Johnson, Erik Martin, and Tim Palace.

Now on to this week’s photo. Take a peek and see what you think! Just remember to send me an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And most of all, Good Luck!

That’s right, our last photo for July. Only one more month of this brutal heat (hopefully) before we can really get settled in for the fall season, and of course, Halloween. Granted, we all know that every day is Halloween for most of us. But at least we won’t be sweating as much! Our last photo was from the “The Shadmock” segment from the 1981 film The Monster Club. Usually thought of as an Amicus production, it’s technically not, even though Milton Subotsky was the producer. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Dada Debaser, Dave Fronto, Kevin Hart, Ken Johnson, Erik Martin, Robert Nemeth, Mike Pniewski, Bryan Senn, Mike Shields, William Wilson, and Greg Wojick. Well done!

On to this week’s photo. Might be a little tougher with this one but take a look really good and see if you can recognize what movie this amazing shot is from. Just remember to send me your guess in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And most of all, Good Luck!

Last week’s photo was from one of those films that you almost can’t believe that title is actually from real movie, but it is! It is, of course, from Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter (1966), directed by William Beaudine, who had been making features since 1915, and had more than 400+ credits to his name. When he made this film, along with Billy the Kid vs Dracula, both made the same year, he was the oldest working director, at the age of 74. Like it or hate it, it does exist and is worth your time…at least one. Though, I will say watching the film while listening to Joe Bob’s commentary is pretty entertaining. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Kevin Hart, Bob Hartman, Erik Martin, Charles Miller, and Mike Shields. Well done! You are a special bunch of fans to recognize that one!

On to this week’s photo. As usual, take a peek and see what you can come up with. Just remember to send me your guess in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And most importantly, Good Luck!

Yeap….another Monday. But since this is the middle of July, that means we’re at the halfway point of summer, right? Which means that nice cool temps of fall are closer! Yeah, if you can’t tell, I don’t like the heat. Anyway, our photo from last week was from Wes Craven’s 1981 film Deadly Blessing, proving once again that Ernest Borgnine could be one scary dude! Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Todd Barwick, Aaron Christensen, Cary Conley, Christopher Highland, Erik Martin, Gary Miller, Mike Shields, and William Wilson. Well done!

Now on to this week’s photo. Maybe if you have one of these cool helmets, it might help you think harder so you can recognize which movie this shot is from. Or do you just know it without the helmet? Give a look and then send me your guess, in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Welcome to July! While we struggle through the heat, each day means we are closer to the fall, and to Halloween! Gotta stay focused! Our photo from last week was from the 2001 film The Others, which still packs one hell of a punch. Just love the look and feel of that one. Great stuff. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Dada Debaser, Kevin Hart, Steven Kennedy, Dominique Lamssies, Erik Martin, Chris Richmond, Mickey Thompson, William Wilson, and Greg Wojick. Well done, indeed!

Since you’re probably hungry for this week’s photo, let’s not put it off any longer, shall we? Take a peek and see if you can remember what film this little tidbit is from. Just remember, send me your guess in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

I loved the fact that just about everyone that sent in the correct answer, apparently all wanted to be in charge of the booze as well! I guess that might show just how much some of us remember a film like this so well! The movie is, of course, THEM! from 1954, which I think is still one of the best giant bug movies out there, not to mention the first. A classic for many reasons, and one that still holds up today. Congrats to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Aaron Christensen, Dave Fronto, Kevin Hart, Bob Hartman, Ken Johnson, Doug Lamoreux, Erik Martin, Lee Nattrass, Jeff Owens, Michael Pniewski, and Bryan Senn. Well done!

Going with color this time out, even though it would be easy to finish out the entire month in black and white. Because we all know there are PLENTY of great titles out there made in that beautiful monochrome! But to finish the first month of summer, let’s get a little color in there. Take a look below and see if you can recognize this movie. Just remember to send me your answer, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good luck!

Even though I’m trying to recoup after the wonderful weekend at Monster Bash, I couldn’t miss posting a new Mystery Photo. Our last photo was from The Monster of London City (1964), and while not 100% horror, it sure has enough elements to make any film fan appreciate it! If you haven’t seen it, it is more than worth your time. Kudos to the following that sent in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Kevin Hart, Erik Martin, and Michael Shields. Well done!

Now on to this week’s photo. Going to keep in the black and white theme once again, but this one might be a little easier, especially if you recognize any of the actors in the photo. Though, one of them is even more famous for a different movie, that isn’t in black and white. Confused? Just check out the photo and see if you know where this shot is from. Just remember to send your answer to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Another week, another Monday, another Mystery Photo. One might think it could be a little tedious and repetitive, but I like to think that this little post could be a slight second of a break from an otherwise possibly typical “Monday”. Honestly, with any of our posts, if can take you out of reality for a quick second, then I know what I’m doing is worth it. Especially now, with all the BS going on in the world, sometimes we just need a little break. So, when you need it, the Krypt will be here, creaking gates wide open.

Last week’s photo was from Francis Ford Coppola’s early effort from 1963, Dementia 13. While it’s mainly known for that brutal murder, the rest of the film is quite good as well. If you haven’t seen it, or seen it lately, take 75 minutes and check it out. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Wendy Bodine, Chris Dyer, Dave Fronto, Kevin Hart, Ken Johnson, Erik Martin, Charles Miller, Michael Pniewski, and Michael Shields. Well done!

Okay, we’re going to stay in the world of black and white because, well, just because. But take a look at see if you can spot where this amazing shot is from. Just remember, send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And good luck!

I was delighted to see all the correct answers from last week’s photo. This is a title that you don’t hear about too often but is such a great little flick. It is from The Flesh Eaters (1964). While some of the effects might look a little crude by today’s standards, I still think they are pretty cool. Kudos to the following that sent in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Chris Dyer, Dave Fronto, Kevin Hart, Bob Hartman, Erik Martin, Charles Miller, Michael Pniewski, Michael Shields, Alan Tromp, Mike Tutino, and Todd Warren. Always nice to see fans of this one!

How about we go with another black and white one, huh? Maybe this will show younger fans that there are still some amazing pieces of cinema out there that are not in color. So, take a look below and see if you can recognize where this shot is from. Just remember to email me your answer in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And Good Luck!
