Happy Monday! We survived our freezing temps over the weekend, but then again, this is the Midwest, so just another winter. That didn’t stop me from traveling into the Chicago a couple of times over the weekend for some cool events. Hopefully everyone out there also had a good weekend. But let’s get to why you’re here. Our photo from last was indeed from Ryan Coolgler’s Sinners (2025). It was definitely one of my favorites of the year but can understand why not everyone feels the same as I do. But that’s the fun part about movies. We did get quite a few correct answers, which is always nice. They were: Hoby Abernathy, Sherry Alvarez, Aaron Christensen, Dada Debaser, Chris Dyer, Kevin Hart, Steven Kennedy, Erik Martin, Gary Miller, Jeff Owens, Jennifer Pike-Cruz, Chris Richmond, Bryan Senn, and William Wilson! Well done!

This week’s photo is not as current as that last one, nor is it as well known. So yeah, another one from the vaults. Take a peek and see if you can remember where this little guy came from. Just remember to send me your guess in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And Good Luck!

Hopefully wherever you are reading this, you’re not getting pelted with snow, unless of course you want it! We’ve gotten more in the last week or so than I think all of last year. Still, I’d rather have it than the 90-degree heat. But that’s just me. Our photo from last week was from William Castle’s Homicidal (1961), with another fun gimmick with the “Fright Break”. Really miss Castle’s sense of ballyhoo and style. But congrats to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Kevin Hart, Charles Miller, Bryan Senn, Mike Shields, and William Wilson. Well done, indeed!

Take a look at this week’s photo and see if you can recognize where this shot is from. Just remember to send your guesses to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And most of all, stay warm and good luck!

Now that November is over, we can move away from those Turkeys and get back to some more serious movies. Or not. Our last photo of the month was from the wild Hong Kong movie simple called The Cat (1991), which features the most amazing battle between a dog and a cat that you’ll see outside of professional wrestling. Great stuff. Kudos to Lee Nattrass and Tim Palace for sending in the correct answer!

This week’s photo is from a nice little picture from a very popular director. Take a peek and see if you can recognize where it is from. Just remember to send me your guess in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Turkey Day is almost upon us! Are you ready? Do you have your own Turkey Day Marathon planned for this Friday? If so, we’d love to hear your lineup! But let’s get to the business at hand. Our photo from last week was from the wonderful film Carnival of Blood (1970), with Burt Young appearing in his first feature film, though credited as John Harris. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Todd Barwick, Scott Bradley, Kevin Hart, Lee Nattrass, Alan Tromp, Mike Tutino, and William Wilson. Well done!

Now for our last Turkey Day Mystery Photo. This one is a real hoot! Take a look below and see if you recognize this strange film. Just remember to send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And most of all, Good Luck!

See that? We’ve made it through the first week post Halloween! Well done! Are you ready for another Turkey? But let us review last week first. This epic was from 1979 and simple called Bog, starring Gloria DeHaven, Marshall Thompson, Aldo Ray, and Leo Gordon. While I’m not a fan of watching an old couple making out (until I realize I’m the same age!), this is a fun little movie with some actors that might have been taking whatever work they could get. But that doesn’t mean they are phoning it in. And if you’re not familiar with any of these names, I would definitely look up Leo Gordon, because he had a very interesting life. But let’s get to the scholars that sent in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Steve Archacki, Kevin Hart, and Michael Pniewski. Well done!

Now on to this week’s Turkey Photo. Take a good look and see if you can recognize this one. Just remember to send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And most of all, Good Luck!

That’s right, just another 362 days until Halloween! But as we know, that doesn’t mean we can’t stop doing what we do all the time, which is to continue to enjoy the horror genre, watch more movies, learn more about them, and just have fun. Of course, before we get to this week’s photo and theme for the month, let’s talk about last week’s photo. It was from Robert Wise’s 1945 film The Body Snatcher, starring the incredible Boris Karloff, in what many think (me included) was one of his best performances. Not only is it pretty scary, but Karloff proves once again that he was an amazing actor and did not have to be covered in makeup to send chills up your spine. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Steve Archacki, Chris Dyer, Dave Fronto, Kevin Hart, Doug Lamoreux, Michael Pniewski, Bryan Senn, and Todd Warren. Well done!

Since now that Halloween just ended, that means November is the month to celebrate the Turkey. Not talking about bad movies, because we all know that the only bad movie is a boring one. And a Turkey is anything but boring. If you want some examples of what I consider a Turkey, head over to the link on the right, to our Turkey Day Marathon writeups and that will give you plenty of examples. So, for this month, each of our photos is going to be a Turkey. Take a peek and then send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Just a mere week left in our beloved Halloween season. I’m hoping everyone has had fun this month, celebrating all things dark and spooky. Though, for a lot of us, that is every day of the year! So, let’s not waste time here so you can get back to watching those movies and enjoying October. Before we get this week’s photo, let’s send a congrats out to Hoby Abernathy, Dave Fronto, Kevin Hart, Doug Lamoreux, Erik Martin, Bryan Senn, and Vincent Simonelli for correctly identifying Night Monster as last week’s photo. A nice and fun little Universal pic from 1942 featuring Bela Lugosi and Lionel Atwill. Well done!

Now on to this week’s photo, from one of my personal favorites of all time. See if you can identify it from just this shadow… Just remember to send your guess in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And Good Luck!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately but between conventions, 24-hour marathons, library lectures, I’m not sure I know what day of the week it is! Now that our World Tour 2025 has come to an end, there is some free time on the horizon. Just not yet! But I wanted to make sure I can at least get this posted! But first, our photo from last week was from the wonderfully titled The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake (1959), starring Henry Daniels. Such fun! Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Kevin Hart, Bob Hartman, Dave Fronto, Doug Lamoreux, Erik Martin, and Alan Tromp. Well done!

Now let’s get down to business. Take a peek at the photo below and see if you recognize it. If you do, send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com Good Luck!

We survived our weekend at Monster Bash, and had one hell of a time, as usual, but there will probably be a post on that coming up. In the meantime, here’s a little pictorial puzzle to keep your mind buzzing. But first, our last photo was from the highly effective The Witch in the Window (2018). I caught this on Shudder a few years ago and it blew me away. Creepy and well done. Perfect for the Halloween season! Congrats to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Aaron Christensen, Chris Dyer, Damien Glonek, William Wilson, and Greg Wojick. Well done!

Now on to this week’s pic. Take a look and see if you can figure it out, but don’t think too hard. Don’t want you to end up like the guy in the photo! Just remember to send your guess to me, in an email to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Welcome to October!!! We just returned from Cinema Wasteland, having a blast as always, and heading out to PA this weekend for Monster Bash! So needless to say… busy, busy, busy! But we wouldn’t have it anyway. Our photo from last week was kind of a trick photo. Not that it was doctored or anything, but more than a few people sent in Vault of Horror as their guess, mainly because of the famous shot in that film where the vampires are hanging up a victim with a spigot in his throat. But this show was actually from the Spanish film, Strange Love of the Vampire aka Night of the Walking Dead (1975), put out by Severin in their Danza Macabre Vol 3: The Spanish Gothic Collection box set. So, if you’re one that did send in Vault, don’t feel bad. You were not alone! Congrats on the ones that did send in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Steve Archacki, Chris Dyer, and James Turner. Well done, indeed!

But on to this week’s photo. Going to try and stay in the theme of great films to be watching this month. Or at least, that’s going to be the plan. We’ll see how far it get! But take a peek and see what you can come up with. Just remember to send your answer to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck and enjoy the season!
