A little late posting this today, mainly because we were in Cincinnati for the HorrorHound Weekend convention and got back a little late last night. Great to see our usual customers and the new ones we met. And a special thanks to all of those that picked up a copy of my book! But let’s get down to business, right? Last week’s photo was from The Bad Seed (1956) and boy what a shot, huh? If you haven’t seen the film, I highly urge you to. While Patty McCormick is amazing as little Rhonda, I need to give a shout out to Henry Jones as the handyman Leroy. The look on his face when he realizes what is going on . . . just incredible acting job there. Congrats to the following for sending in the correct answer: Gregory Avery, Christopher Dyer, Dave Friedman, Dave Fronto, Kevin Hart, Bob Hartman, Christopher Highland, Doug Lamoreux, Lee Nattrass, and Jennifer Pike-Cruz. Well done!

Okay, this one might be pretty easy, or maybe just an obscure enough shot where it won’t come to mind. We’ll just have to wait and see. So, take a peek and see what you can come up with. Just remember, send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Another week done; another week closer to Halloween! Then again, we all know that the Halloween season is just when most of us appear normal, or at least the same as the regular folks. And that really, we celebrate the Halloween season all year round! For me, I’m honestly more excited about the cooler weather coming on! Yes, I am not a fan of summer, with the blazing sun and extreme heat. Sorry, but I’ll take 50-degree weather all the time! But you didn’t come here to hear that, did you! Our last photo was from Hammer Films, under the original title of Fanatic, but also known as Die! Die! My Darling (1965). It always amazes me on how the color palette in this film is close to something like Bava would have done. Just incredible. And of course, nobody is scarier than Tallulah Bankhead! Congrats to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Steve Archacki, Kevin Hart, Christopher Highland, Troy Howarth, Jeff Owens, and Mike Shields. Well done!

Now on to this week’s photo. This one does not have the same color scheme, but it still a great film! Take a look and see what you think. Just remember to send me your answer in an email to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Welcome to our first Mystery Photo for September! That means we made it through the brutal heat the end of August gave us, and that we are even closer to October! I know it is going to seem like time will fly, and it will be November before we know it, so make sure we all take the time to enjoy the ride while we can! Our last photo was from the film My Dear Killer (1972), which has the most unusual, amazing, and unforgettable opening kill, which was present in the pic we posted. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Steve Archacki, Aaron Christensen, Dada Debaser, Troy Howarth, Tim Palace, and Michael Tutino.

Now on to this week’s photo. Take a minute to look and think because it might not be what you think it is. How’s that for a hint? Either way, make sure you email me your guess, at jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And most of all, Good Luck!

That’s right, even though it’s my birthday, I’m still here working in the Krypt to bring you a new Mystery Photo! Which kind of explains why it’s so late getting posted! Oof…too much Indian food! But back to the task at hand! Our photo from last week was from the 1946 film The Catman of Paris, recently released in the Republic Pictures Horror Collection. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Michelle Creason, Dave Fronto, Kevin Hart, Bob Hartman, Ken Johnson, Doug Lamoreux, Lee Nattrass, Bryan Senn, and Mike Shields. Nice job!

Now on to this week’s photo. I’m sure everyone feels this every Monday going to work. I know I do! I’ve always found this kill one of the more interesting ones I’ve seen in cinema. Let’s see if you know which movie it is from. Just make sure you send your guess in an email to me, at jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And Good Luck!

Welcome to another Monday, which means another Mystery Photo! Well, most of the time! Seems like our photo from last week got a little bit of attention of some people wanting to know what film it was actually from! Now you don’t have to wait any longer. It was from the 2019 film A Hole in the Ground, from director Lee Cronin, which would go on to direct Evil Dead Rise in 2023. If you like folk-horror, then I would suggest checking Hole out, as well as the newer film Starve Acre (2023), starring Matt Smith. Both great films. But kudos to Hoby Abernathy, Steve Archacki, and Christopher Dyer for sending in the correct answer.

Now on to this week’s photo. Going back to black and white, so it might be a bit older. Take a look, give it a ponder, and then send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And Good Luck!

Welcome to August! So much closer to Halloween, and those god-forsaken high temps will be gone! We survived Flashback Weekend, which was just incredible. A TON of people there and a lot of fun to be had. But let’s get to business, shall we? Our photo from last week was from was from the Euro-Horror classic The Devil’s Wedding Night (1973). That’s Mark Damon doing a little studying before he meets up with the forever lovely Rosalba Neri! Congrats to Steve Archacki, Dave Fronto, Bob Hartman, Mike Shields, Todd Warren for sending in the correct answer! Nice job!

This week’s photo is newer film. Or is it? Either way, take a peek and see if you can figure out if it is old or new, and what title it’s from! Just remember to send your answer to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Our photo from last week was from the remake of Maniac (2012), one that I was happily proved wrong when I said there was no way this remake was going to be good. They did a great job with it, being quite different from the original, but yet still retaining the feel of it. Kudos to Christopher Dyer and Michael Shields for sending in the correct answer. Well done!

For this week’s photo, a little tribute to books. If you don’t recognize this right away, maybe pull out some of those volumes of forgotten lore (aka horror movie reference books) and see if you can’t come up with the movie it is from. Just remember to send me your answer in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And most of all, Good Luck!

I had no idea when I posted the photo from last week, that I had caused a little confusion, especially on MY part! The other day while browsing through Prime, I came across this black and white film called Space Probe Taurus (1965) that looked like it could be fun. And when I saw this alien show up, I knew I had my next Mystery Photo. Then I started to get a couple of emails saying it was from a movie called The Wizard of Mars, also from 1965 but in color! After the second email, I looked it up and what do you know . . . they used the same makeup for the alien in both movies! Got to give those low budget filmmakers credit for using something cool more than once! So, kudos to all of the following, no matter which title you sent in: Hoby Abernathy, Bob Hartman, Erik Martin, Charles Miller, Lee Nattrass, Mike Shields, Alan Tromp, Todd Warren. Well done! I think we all learned something with this one. I know I did!

Now today’s photo is a little more recent than 1965, but let’s see if anybody recognizes it. And if you think it looks a little blurry or off, that is the way the shot is. Take a good look, and if you know it, send me your guess to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

We’re not officially halfway through July, which means (hopefully) halfway through summer. I know a lot out there enjoy the sun and heat, but I am not one of those. So, bring on the fall, and of course, Halloween! In the meantime, I’ll do what I can to stay inside, behind closed curtains and doors! But let’s get to the business at hand. Last week’s photo was from Sergio Martino’s 1979 film The Great Alligator, starring the lovely Barbara Bach, Claudio Cassinelli, Mel Ferrer, and the lovely little Silvia Collatina! We only had one correct answer sent in (unless, of course, I missed one) and that was from Erik Martin! Well done, Sir!

Today’s photo might be even more obscure, but at least from this country. Take a look below and see if you recognize it where it is from. Just remember to send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com, or I definitely will forget! And most of all, Good Luck!

Our photo from last week was from the 1983 film Of Uknown Origin, starring Peter Weller vs a big rat! It’s actually a really well-done film, plenty of great camera work, and a good cast. Look for Louis Del Grande in the role of a superintendent who tries to help Weller. Last time we saw him, Michael Ironside made his head explode! Kudos to Bryan Senn and William Wilson for sending in the correct answer.

Now on to this week’s photo. Yeah, I know . . . could be one of a hundred movies. That’s the point, isn’t it? Let’s just see how good you are! Just remember to send your answer to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskyrpt.com. And Good Luck!
