Mystery Photo 2-8

Where did the weekend go? Not sure, since I’ve worked both days this weekend. Yeah…. fun, fun, fun! But that’s the fun part of this roller coaster we’re on, that the ride keeps moving no matter what. So you just need to hold on tight and enjoy it, right? That’s what I keep telling myself.

Anyway, our photo from last week was a bit of a toughie, and we only got one correct answer sent in, and that was from Greg Wojick, who correctly identified the photo from Satan’s Slave, an Indonesian horror film from 1982. Well done, Greg!

But let’s get to today’s photo. Might be a little easier, but we’ll see. Take a look and see if you can identify what film this shot is from. Please remember not to post your answers here so that everyone has a chance to make a guess. Just sent your guess to use in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Welcome to February! One more day, one more month, to hoping things start get back to normal. I know we have a ways to go, but let’s hope we’re moving in the right direction! But that’s now why you’re hear, so let’s get to the business at hand. We would have had this posted this morning, but we needed to make sure our new monthly mission for the Army was sent out. Not sure what that is, click on the Kryptic Army link on the menus to the right for more info.

Our last photo was from the British film Haunted House of Horror, also known as Horror House, from 1969, starring Dennis Price, Frankie Avalon and Jill Haworth. Kudos out to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Troy Howarth, Gary McGuire, Bryan Senn, Nick Wilson.

Now to this week’s photo. Give it a peak and see what you think! Remember, don’t post your answers in the comment section so that others can have a guess. Just send your guess to us in an email to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Welcome to our Mystery Photo for the month. See that? We’ve almost made it a whole month in the new year without any huge disaster. Upward and onward! Our photo from last week was from the Tyburn film Legend of the Werewolf (1975), starring Peter Cushing. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Troy Howarth, and Gary McGuire. Well done!

For this week’s photo, I picked a real nice classy shot. See if you can recognize which film it is from. As always, please don’t post your answers here so everyone can have a chance at guessing. Just send your guess to us in an email to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

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!

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!

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!
