As I expected, I got no guesses sent in from our last photo. I knew it was going to be tough one because up until a few months ago, I never even knew of this movie. So don’t feel bad. The shot was taken from a made-for-TV movie from 1964 called The Ghost of Sierra de Cobre, starring Martin Landau and Diane Baker, and written and directed by Joseph Stefano. It’s a great little creepy ghost story film that thankfully is available on Blu-ray through Kino Lober. So yes, I do recommend everyone try and see this. I did have it in my Best of Viewings from last year.

But let’s get to this week’s photo. Take a look and see if this one is a little easier. It’s from a film most of us should know, but will you be able to recognize it from this shot. Just remember to email me your answers (jon@kitleyskrypt.com). Good Luck!

Welcome to Monday. I almost forgot about getting this posted because I actually had the day off for the holiday. We typically don’t have this day off but now we do, so I am taking advantage of it, which is why I almost forgot to post the new one! But before we get to that, let’s review last week. We got 4 people who sent in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Aaron Christensen, Gary Miller, and William Wilson. And the movie? Nope, not forgetting this week! It was from the 1991 film The Boneyard, which I had not bothered with for the longest time, simply because I thought it looked too silly. Well, let me tell you that if you love good old-fashioned rubber monster movies, then this is amazing. A lot of fun.

Okay, on to this week’s photo. This might be a tough one, so we’ll see how good you are. Take a peek and send in your guess to me, by emailing me at jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Welcome to our second Mystery Photo of the new year! That means one more week closer to Halloween! I have to say I was amazed at the number of correct answers sent in for last week’s photo. I really thought I was going with something pretty obscure, as far as the specific shot, but apparently not!

Editor’s Note: Apparently it helps when you list the movie from last week!!!! It was Black Christmas (1974)!

Here are who sent in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Enai Aya, Todd Barwick, Cate Cameron, Aaron Christensen, Peggie Christie, Dada Debaser, Kevin Hart, Christopher Highland, Troy Howarth, Jeff Owens, Tim Palace, Michael Pniewski, Erich Polnow, Mickey Thompson, Kristin Wicks, William Wilson, Greg Wojick, and Jeremy Zink. Well done!

Now onto this week’s photo. Let us see if this one seems to be too easy or not. Take a peek below and see if you recognize where this shot is from. Just remember to send me your answer in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Welcome to our first Mystery Photo of 2024! Are you ready for another year of pictorial puzzles? Something to make that grey matter between your ears do a little extra thinking? Well, that’s what I’m here for! Before we get to the new photo, let’s do a little recap first, shall we? The photo from last week was from one of the best anthology films ever committed to celluloid, Mario Bava’s Black Sabbath (1963). Between the creepy to terrifying stories, to the amazing colors and cinematography presented there, it never loses its power for the viewer. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Aaron Christensen, Dave Friedman, Kevin Hart, Bob Hartman, Troy Howarth, Michael Pniewski, Bryan Senn, and Michael Shields. Well done!

Let’s see how many can get our first photo of the new year. Just take a peek below and see what you can come up with. Just remember to email me your guess, at jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean we’re not going to have a new photo! Probably why it is just getting posted now. But here it is none the less. Before we get to it, let’s back up to our last photo. It was from Amok Train (1989), better known in the here as Beyond the Door III. Why that title? I have no idea and it makes no sense. Then again, wouldn’t be the first time for something like that! Congrats to the following for sending in the correct answer: Nathan Rumler, Mickey Thompson, and William Wilson. Well done!

Now on to our last photo of 2023. Just where did the year go, huh? Take a look below and see what you can come up with. If you recognize it, make sure you send me your guess in an email to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And Good Luck!

Sorry for missing out on a new photo last week, but as we mentioned in an early post, web stuff happens. But we’re back on a Monday morning with another interesting mystery pic for you. But first, let’s talk about our last photo. Major kudos to the following people: Hoby Abernathy, Enai Aya, John Cairns, Dave Friedman, Dave Fronto, Kevin Hart, Bob Hartman, Ken Johnson, Gary McGuire, Lee Natrass, and Vincent Simonelli. Not only did they correctly identify the shot as being from The Manster (1959), but even more credit because it wasn’t a shot of the title character which would have made it easy! Congrats for going that extra mile with your horror knowledge!

Now on to this week’s pick. Might be easy, might not. But either way, might want to avoid this woman if she’s running the checkout line while doing your holiday shopping! Just remember, if you think you know it, send me an email at jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Welcome to the first photo of December, and with only 3 more photos to go before we hit 2024! Where does the time go? Our photo from last week was from the German film Ein Toter hing im Netz (1960), better known as Horrors of Spider Island. Congrats to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Aaron Christensen, Peggie Christie, Bob Hartman, and Vincent Simonelli! Well done.

The photo from this week might be a little obscure, especially with the shot I chose, since it is not the main . . . monster. But we’ll see how clever you are. Take a peek below and see what you can come up with. Just remember to send your guess to me at jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Welcome to our last pictorial puzzle for the month. That’s right . . . next week is already December, and then we get to 2024. Not sure if anybody has noticed, but most of the photos from this month have been what some might call Turkeys, and most of them are closeups of faces. While I’m not sure I would include this week’s photo as a Turkey, but opinions can differ. But let’s get back to last week’s photo. It was from Bill Rebane / H.G. Lewis’ 1965 epic Monster A Go-Go. That shot is probably right after the guy watched the film! But kudos to the select few that recognized it and were brave enough to admit it! They were Hoby Abernathy and Erik Martin. Well done!

This week is another shot of a face screaming in terror. What a nice way to start off the week, right? So take a peek and let me know what you think. Just remember to send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Last week’s photo was from the underrated 1958 film Terror from the Year 5000. And by underrated, I mean damn entertaining. We screened it a few years ago for one of our Turkey Day marathons and it was a lot of fun. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Chris Dyer, Doug Fronto, Bryan Senn, Mike Shields, and Alan Tromp. Well done!

On to this week’s photo. Hopefully you don’t get the same expression on your face as the guy in the photo when you gaze as it. Give it a look and see what you can think of. Just remember, send your guess to me, in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Welcome to another Monday, another day closer to Halloween. Too early, you say? Never. But that’s now why you’re here, is it? Let’s get down to business. Last week’s photo was from the one and only Mr. B.I.G., Bert I. Gordon and his 1976 film The Food of the Gods. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct title: Hoby Abernathy, Todd Barwick, Zach Castedo, Aaron Christensen, Chris Dyer, and Ken Johnson! Well done!

Now on to this week’s photo, which is a real nasty one! So go with caution and look below, if you dare! Just remember, if you survive, send your guess to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!
