Kitley's Krypt MYSTERY PHOTO #29

Another week, another MYSTERY PHOTO!

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 the 1982 movie VISITING HOURS, starring the ever-so-menacing Michael Ironside. Even though he's been in hundreds of movies, he will always been known to horror fans as the psychotic Darryl Revok from David Cronenberg's SCANNERS (1981). VISITING HOURS was one of the first movies he did after SCANNERS, casting him as another villain, seen here menacing Lee Grant.


Let's see how well you fare with this week's offering:

"It's Cronenberg's Kramer Vs. Kramer - although Benton's film never featured dwarfish homicidal psychopaths amongst its methods for bridging irreconcilable differences" ~ Movie Gazette

Synopsis from IMDB:

A man's wife is under the care of an eccentric and unconventional psychologist who uses innovative and theatrical techniques to breach the psychological blocks in his patients. When their daughter comes back from a visit with her mother and is covered with bruises and welts, the father attempts to bar his wife from seeing the daughter but faces resistance from the secretive psychologist. Meanwhile, the wife's mother and father are attacked by strangely deformed children, and the man begins to suspect a connection with the psychologist's methods.
