Mystery Photo 8-3-20

A little late today, but better late than not at all, right? Busy weekend, once again, but we survived, so that’s what’s important. So… last week’s photo was from the film Beyond Evil (1980), which starred the late great John Saxon. Sorry to say, it wasn’t Mausoleum, that had more than a few people send in, but I can totally see the similarities, so no worries. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Todd Barwick, Aaron Christensen, Brian Doering, Peggy Christie, Christopher Dyer, Tim Palace, Michael Shields, and William Wilson.

On to this week’s mystery pic… might be an easy one, especially for those that grew up in the video stores in the late ’80s / early 90s. Take a peek and see what you can come up with. Just send us an email (jon@kitleyskrypt.com) with your guess. Good luck.

Our last Mystery Photo for July, which means summer getting close to be over, and the Halloween season will be upon us. No matter what form that might take, it will still be a time to celebrate! But let’s get to the topic at hand. Last week’s photo was from the Umberto Lenzi classic So Sweet… So Perverse (1969). We only got three correct answers this time out, Hoby Abernathy, Troy Howarth and Bryan Martinez. Well done.

We picked this week’s photo for an obvious reason, if you know it. But take a look and see what you can come up with. As always, just send us an email (jon@kitleyskrypt.com) with your guess. Good Luck!

Welcome to another Monday, but one more closer to Halloween season. Yeah, I know that it might be difficult to have the same celebration as we normally we do, but at least at that point, maybe some people won’t be complaining about having to wear a mask! There’s a positive, right?

Okay, let us get to the business at hand. Our photo from last week was from the 1943 film, Return of the Vampire, starring the truly immortal Bela Lugosi. Got to give the filmmakers credit for creating some pretty atmospheric shots like this one. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answers: Hoby Abernathy, Brian Doering, Dave Fronto, Bob Hartman, Troy Howarth, Neil Kloster, Doug Lamoreux, and William Wilson. Well done, folks.

Okay, so this week’s photo might be pretty easy… for some. The actress might be easily recognized, but do you know which film it is from??? Just take a peek, then send your guess to us in an email to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Mystery Photo 7-13

It looks like I stump everyone with last week’s photo. Don’t feel bad. I had never heard of it before either, until I stumbled across it. The shot is from a 1975 Spanish film called El colegio de la muerte, or School of Death. It’s an oddity, that is for sure. Not sure I would recommend anyone rush out and find a copy, but if you love Spanish horror, especially from the ’70s, you could do worse.

I’m sure with this week’s photo, we’ll get a few correct answers sent in. Just a hunch. So take a look, ponder it a bit, enjoy the atmosphere in there, and then send your guess to us in an email, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good luck!

Mystery Photo 7-6

Well we’ve made it through the first half of 2020. Should be all downhill from here on out, right? Granted, that downhill ride might just empty out into a busy highway, but what are the odds? A little late today but it is still Monday so it still counts, right?

Last week’s photo was from Ti West’s 2005 feature The Roost. For the budget, it’s a pretty damn entertaining movie and well worth checking out. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Craig Clark, Chris Dyer, Albert Gerber, and Lee Nattrass. Nicely done, folks!

 Now onto this week’s photo. This is a little obscure one so let’s see how many can uncover this one! As always, just send us an email with your guess, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Mystery Photo 6-29

Our last photo for June. This means that summer is 1/3 over! Some might not be happy about that, but I definitely am. Anyway, our photo from last week was from the film Deranged (1974), one of the the best adaptations of the story of real like nutter Ed Gein. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Peggy Christie, Kuba Haczek, Martin Meeks, Gary Miller, Michael Shields, and Greg Wojick. Well done!

On to this week’s photo. Give it a close look because it things might not be as they seem at first glance. Just remember, just send us an email with your guess, to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Summer is finally hear. Yeah. I’ve got my AC cranked so high that I have to wear a hoodie. Okay, maybe because I like wearing a hoodie, but don’t judge me! Happy Monday, folks. And Monday and another Mystery Photo. So let’s get started. Last week’s photo was from the Karloff film Corridors of Blood (1958). Karloff still showing he’s got it and a nice little performance by Christopher Lee. Although, I have to say the most disturbing part of the movie is when the one surgeon makes a comment about Karloff’s attempt to come up with way to help the patient, and says “Yes, most distressing, but, alas, inevitably you can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife, they’re inseparable!” Yeah… guess we shouldn’t complain TOO much about today’s doctors! Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Todd Barwick, Peggy Christie, Bob Hartman, Troy Howarth, Martin Meeks, Lee Natrass, Bryan Senn, and Michael Shields. I think I remembered everyone…

Okay, let’s get to this week’s photo. Take a peek and see what you come up with. As always, just send your answer to us in an email to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Mystery Photo 6-15

Welcome to the halfway point through June. Not sure if that is something to be hopeful about or just amazed that we’ve made it this far!?!? But in any case, we have a new Mystery Photo. Last week’s photo was from Journey to the Seventh Planet (1961), from the same people that brought us Reptilicus that same year! Directed by Sidney W. Pink, and even starring Carl Ottosen, this one also stars John Agar, not to mention having this stop-animated one-eyed monster! A lot of fun in this one that is perfect for any Turkey Day event! Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Peggy Christie, Dave Fronto, Bob Hartman, Lee Nattrass, and Michael Shields.

So let’s get to this week’s photo. Might be a little easier for everyone. But I guess we’ll wait and see. Just send us your answer to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Mystery Photo 6-7

Another Monday, another mystery photo. Hopefully these brighten  your mornings a wee bit. Before we get to this week’s pic, let’s review last week. It was from Luciano Ercoli’s 1972 giallo Death Walks at Midnight. That shot that I used is a perfect example of why I love the giallo sub-genre. When you come up with a shot like that, to be thinking of images that will be on the screen, and then how to stage and create it, that is just pure magic. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Dave Friedman, Kuba Haczek, Martin Meeks, Tim Palace, Michael Shields, Gavin Schmitt, William Wilson, and Greg Wojick. Well done, indeed.

So these week’s photo, we’re going back to the monsters. And this one is a doozy! Take good look (but you can use both eyes) and see what you can come up with. Just send your guess to us at jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!

Mystery Photo 6-1

Well, we’ve made it another month and are almost halfway through the year. I’m sure a lot of us out there will be glad when its over and maybe we’ll get back to some sort of normalcy. One can only hope. In the meantime, let’s forget about reality for a second and put that brain to work. But first, let’s cover last week’s photo. It is from the highly underrated (okay, maybe for a Turkey) film She Demons (1958). Once again, you have to give these filmmakers credit for getting their picture made and out there for the world to enjoy. Or laugh at. But either way, I still find it pretty entertaining. Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Bob Hartman, Michael Shields, Vincent Simonelli, and Alan Tromp. Well done!

Now this week’s photo might be easier to at least guess the sub-genre, but let’s see if you can figure out exactly what film it is. And whether you do or not, how about that camera shot!?!?! Just send your guess to us in an email to jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Good Luck!
