Mystery Photo 1-18

Welcome to Monday! Hope everyone had a good weekend. Before we get to this week’s photo, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised that anybody was able to identify our last photo, but I guess if you’d seen it once, you’d remember that particular sequence, which is the same with me. I love when I throw out something that I think is going to stump everyone and am proved to be wrong. So a very well done to the following for correctly identifying the movie as Il Demonio (aka The Demon) from 1963. They were Hoby Abernathy, Gregory Avery, Kuba Haczek, Bob Hartman, Troy Howarth, and Gary McGuire. Well done!

So this week’s photo, we’re going with something that might be a little easier but with a shot that might not be as easy to recognize. So take a peek and good luck. Remember, please do not post your answers here so everyone can have a guess. Just send your guess to us at jon@kitleyskrypt.com.

Mystery Photo 12-14

For our photo from last week, I decided to go with something a little more mainstream, but tried to pick a shot that maybe wasn’t as well known. Apparently I was wrong. It was from Tobe Hooper’s Poltergeist (1982) and the man leaning into the window is none other than Lou Perryman, better known to most horror fans as the lovable L.G. from Texas Chains Massacre 2. I had the opportunity to meet him at a Cinema Wasteland show in April 2004, and he was such a great and friendly guy. When he was invited back to Wasteland five years later, we arrived Friday afternoon to hear the news that he had been murdered in his own home the night before. Such sad news to start the weekend off. So I chose that photo because most people didn’t know that was him, and to pay a little tribute to this great human being.

We did get a lot of correct answers, even some trying to post their answers on the site and Facebook. For shame, people, for shame. But kudos to the lot of you: Hoby Abernathy, Aaron AuBuchon, Cary Conley, Dahlia Daniels, Chris Dyer, Rick Hayden, Bryan Martinez, Martin Meeks, Gary McGuire, Erich Polnow, and Karen Shaub, William Wilson.

Since that one was so easy, I guess I’ll have to throw a curve ball and go with one that might be a little more challenging. If you feel up to it, take a look at the photo below and see what you can come up with. Once again, PLEASE do not post your answer here so that others can have a guess. It just makes it more fun for everyone. Just send your answer instead to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck.

As we move closer to the end of November, and hopefully the end of all the negativity around the world (one can hope, can’t they), I keep trying to remind myself that escaping the real world for a few moments to enjoy our passions is one sure way to keep oneself sane. I know it helps me, and I know that is one of the reasons I keep at the Krypt, hoping to give others a moment’s break from the insanity. So now, here is your break, our latest Mystery Photo. But first, let’s go over last week’s photo. It was the last real entry into what is known as Hammer Horror, 1976 Satanic epic To the Devil a Daughter. This was hopefully going to keep Hammer afloat, but even though it did well at the box office, very little of that money went to Hammer and pretty much put the last nail in the coffin. Damn shame. But congrats go out to the following that recognized the wonderful and amazingly talented actor Denholm Elliott from the film: Hoby Abernathy, Aaron Christensen, Troy Howarth, Bryan Martinez, Gary McGuire, Doug Lamoreux, Michael Shields, William Wilson, and Greg Wojick. Well done, folks!

Now onto this week’s photo, one for fans of the classic horror era, but also one with a very memorable and entertaining actor. Take a look and see if you can identify the correct movie this shot is from. Remember to send your answer to me in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Mystery Photo 10-26

A little late today but we still got a new photo for you to puzzle over. But before we get to it, let’s recap last week’s photo. I thought for sure I was going to stump everyone but we ended up with 4 people that guessed the correct movie. The movie is Castle of Evil (1966), and the ones that knew that were Hoby Abernathy, Bob Hartman, Michael Shields, and Mark Turner. Well done, gentlemen!

Okay so let’s see if we stump anybody with this photo, since I’ve been digging deep in the obscure vault lately. Just remember to send your guess to us in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good luck!

Mystery Photo 10-5

Welcome to our first official Mystery Photo of October! But before we get to this one, let’s go over last week’s photo. It was from Jorge Grau’s Blood Ceremony (1973), also known as The Legend of Blood Castle. Congrats to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Brian Doering, Troy Howarth, & Todd Warren. Well done. Even better, is that this title will soon get a Blu-ray release from the fine folks at Mondo Macabro, which you’ll be able to pre-order at the end of the month. Can’t wait to see this one in a nice beautiful print!

So while sticking with a similar theme, take a peek at this week’s photo and see if you can recognize it. As always, just send us your answer in an email to me (jon@kitleyskrypt.com). Good Luck!

Mystery Photo 9-21

Looks like even though our last movie is currently streaming on Amazon, not too many of you have seen it or recognized our last photo. It was from Mark of the Witch (1970), directed by Tom Moore, who also directed The Return to Boggy Creek (1977), as well as producing The Town that Dreaded Sundown (1976). Congrats to Hoby Abernathy, Todd Barwick and Bob Hartman, Michael Shields for sending in the correct answer.

For our next photo, we’re going once again with something a little obscure, but I have my reasons! Check it out and see what you can come up with. Just send your answer to us, at jon@kitleyskrypt.com. And Good Luck!

Mystery Photo 9-14

Welcome to another Monday and another day closer to Halloween! Hopefully that makes the day a little more palatable. Last week’s photo was from the 1987 film The Curse, based on the H.P. Lovecraft story, The Colour Out of Space. Congrats to the following for sending in the correct answer: Lee Nattrass, JS Scott, and William Wilson.

Now on to this week’s photo. Could be a tough one. Just send your guess in through email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Mystery Photo 8-24

Welcome to Monday… evening. Still counts though! It looks like our photo from last week was a little trickier than our previous one. It is a shot from The Haunting of Julia (1977), which is a very underrated film, though is in dire need of a Blu-ray release. Just throwing it out there. Congrats to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Todd Barwick, and William Wilson. Well done!

So on to this week’s photo. For some, it will be pretty easy. Others… ? Well, if you don’t recognize it, hopefully when you learn of the title you can seek it out. Remember, just send us your answer in an email to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Mystery Photo 8-17

Sorry again for the late posting again, but just couldn’t manage to get it ready to go over the weekend. Seems more and more we wait for the weekend, counting down the days, only to find out at the end of it, you didn’t get squat done! And here we are, starting all over again. Ugh.

Anyway, enough whining. I was thrilled to see so many people send in the correct answers last week. It was from Tobe Hooper’s 1976 film Eaten Alive, with such an amazing cast.  I mean, how could a movie NOT be entertaining when you have these names in there: Neville Brand, Mel Ferrer, Carolyn Jones, Marilyn Burns, William Finley, Stuart Whitman, Kyle Richars, and of course, Robert Englund in one of his earlier roles! Here’s all the ones that sent it in: Hoby Abernathy, Gregory Avery, Todd Barwick, Wendy Bodine, Aaron Christensen, Chris Dyer, Kevin Hart, Christopher Highland, Troy Howarth, Martin Meeks, Lee Nattrass, Tim Palace, James Schmeichel, Bryan Senn, Michael Shields, Gert Verbeeck, Todd Warren, and William Wilson. Well done!

Okay, this week’s photo might be a little tougher. Okay, maybe a LOT tougher. But after throwing you a bone with last week’s photo, I figured I’d make you work for it. As always, just send your answer to us in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good luck!

Mystery Photo 8-10

It’s been a long and busy week. Hence the lack of updates recently. Been preoccupied with a project but hopefully the brunt of that is over and I can get back to here on a more regular basis. We’ll see. But for now, let’s get to the topic at hand. Last week’s photo was from Ghost Town (1988). I would always see that sitting on the shelve, no matter what video store I was in. A nice memory from a time long gone. Kudos to the following that did send in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Todd Barwick, Aaron Christensen, Dave Fronto, Brian Fukala, Christopher Highland, Neil Kloster, Lee Nattrass, Michael Shields, Gert Verbeeck, and William Wilson. Always nice to see that many names.

Let’s see if we get that many, or even more, from this shot. Take a peek and see if you recognize where this little tourist trap is from. Just send your answer to us in an email (jon@kitleyskrypt.com). Good Luck!
