Sorry about being a day late with this one, but we didn’t get back from the HorrorHound weekend trip until late. But better late than never, right?
Last week’s photo was from one of my favorites, Timur Bekmambetov’s Night Watch. It has some of the most amazing visuals in here, plus a great and original take on some old familiar themes. Check it out, along with the sequel Day Watch, if you haven’t seen them. But kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Neil Calderone, Kuba Haczek, and Richard Schellbach. Well done!
Okay…without any further delay, here’s this week’s photo. Remember not to post your answers here, but send us an email at jon@kitleyskrypt.com.
Yes, we all know of the giallo films from the likes of Dario Argento, Mario Bava, and Sergio Martino, but there are so many other names out there that need to be remembered. One of them is Luciano Ercoli, who just happened to pass away exactly one year ago today.
We all have our favorite “bad” movies that we enjoy. Hell, I hold two events a year dedicated to these kind of movies. For years, Ed Wood’s Plan 9 From Outer Space was regarded as the worst film ever made, but I know from personally experiences that not to be true. But there is one title that seems to have risen to the top and is one that is brought up the most when talking about the top turkey! And that film would be Harold P. Warren’s 1966 epic film Manos: The Hands of Fate. A film of this caliper has to have its stories and now you can learn more about this film than you probably ever wanted to!
As we all know, it is very hard for a sequel to top the original, or even come close. And when you’re talking about the original Re-Animator, it would seem to be an impossible task even to think about. But producer turned director Brian Yuzna did just that with his 1989 film Bride of Re-Animator. And you know what…it’s actually pretty damn entertaining!
