Jon Kitley, pillar of the Chicago Horror Community and head honcho over at KITLEY'S KRYPT, wants to challenge your horror knowledge. Week in, week out, he posts a Mystery Photo - sometimes from an obscure horror title, sometimes just an unusual shot from a well-known classic. We figured our faithful Claw readers would enjoy the challenge!
Last week's photo was from the first of writer/director Amando de Ossorio's haunting Spanish zombie flicks, TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD (1971). While not everyone’s cup of tea, the imagery in this film is so overwhelming in its thick gloomy atmosphere that one cannot help but admire de Ossorio for his sheer confidence and audacity. (The slow-motion scenes of the recently revived devil-worshipping Templar Knights riding horseback are particularly inspired.) The success of this light-gore-and-nudity import spawned three more films in the series: Return of the Blind Dead, The Ghost Galleon, and Night of the Seagulls.
Let's see how well you fare with this week's offering:
