Sure, this may be Labor Day and most people are not working today, but not here at the Krypt! Every day is a work day and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Before we get to our first photo of September, let’s review last week’s photo. It was from the 1979 eco-horror film Prophecy. Anybody who saw the trailer for this film, where a kid in a sleeping bag gets hit and bursts into feathers, well, you don’t forget things like that, especially if you were young when you first seen it. Congrats to the following for sending in the correct answers: Aaron Christensen, Dave Fronto, Lee Nattrass, and Will Wilson.
Now on to this week’s photo. Take a look at this poor chap before he possibly takes a dive into the streets below and see if you can recognize him or the film that it is from. As always, please remember not to post your answers here so others can have a chance at guessing. Just send your guess to us in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And Good Luck!
I’ve been a collector of horror movie posters for more years than I can remember, and have spent more money on them over the years that I want to remember! One of the great things about being a collector is that you start to learn more about not just the movies, but in case of the posters, you start to know who some of these artists were that created some of these incredible images. The real shame is that in the past, some of these talented people weren’t even allowed to sign their paintings, such as Reynold Brown, who created so many incredible poster art from the ’50s.
For the last 12 years, WildClaw Theatre has been bringing horror to the stage. From the works of H.P. Lovecraft and Sheridan Le Fanu to the more modern day tales from Scott T. Barsotti and Paul Foster. Now they bring us something a little different from the horror genre, a western. Of course, it wouldn’t be WildClaw without throwing in something a little more terrifying, right? So come out to see their latest, a “bloody tale of the good, the bad, and the undying.”
Last year, McFarland published Howard Maxford’s massive volume on Hammer films, The Complete Hammer. Now comes another huge tome on the Studio that Dripped Blood, by author Chris Fellner, entitled The Encyclopedia of Hammer Films.
