Mystery Photo 11-23

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!

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!

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.

Mystery Photo 7-27

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!
