Welcome to Monday! At least this time, I remembered what day it was. Then again, after the weekend I had, I’m actually surprised. Anyway, our shot from last week was from a favorite of mine, Man Made Monster (1941), starring Lon Chaney Jr. and Lionel Atwill. My first issue of Famous Monsters that I bought as a kid had an article on this and I’ve always remembered the film because of it. Funny how the mind works, isn’t it? But kudos goest out to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Doug Lamoreux, Mike Shields, and Troy Howarth. Well done.
For our latest photo, we’re going to stay in the black and white era, but it is slightly different. But I’ll warn you…it’s going to be a tough one. So take a look and see what you can…dig up? Sorry…too early, I know.
Please remember not to post your answers here, but send me an email at jon@kitleyskrypt.com.
It is one thing to be a director that makes a film, even a good one. But it takes a very different kind of director to make a film that brings out such a diverse and strong reaction. Like Polish director Andrzej Zulawski. While he only made a few films in his 40+ year career, all one needs to do is look at his 1981 film Possession to see what I’m talking about. Sure, you might not understand what is going on, but it is a powerful one none the less. Made during a bitter divorce, director Zulawski brought those intense emotions to life on the screen with this bizarre tale.
Actually, it has. Last February is when we moved the Krypt to this new location, saying goodbye to the Front Page based website to the Word Press blog format. There are times when I miss the old way, but I have to admit this new format is much easier to work with. I know there is still a ton of stuff I still need to import from the old site, like reviews, interviews, etc., which I’ve slowly been doing. It is a long process, but I’m working through it.
