Kitley's Krypt MYSTERY PHOTO #61



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!

Our last photo, for those of you who spent the late '80s glued to the television screen watching MTV for hours on end, should have been an easy one, since it featured one of the more memorable video vixens of the era. Yes, the woman with the axe and skinny tie would a few years later be found wantonly cavorting atop David Coverdale's automobile (and Mr. Coverdale, for that matter) in numerous Whitesnake videos. Yes, true believers, it's Tawny Kitaen, which means that the movie must be WITCHBOARD (1986). Kevin S. Tenney, who would go on to direct Night of the Demons (1988), made his feature debut with this not-bad bit of supernatural hocus-pocus involving a ouija board and a mass murderer possessing folks from beyond the grave.



Let's see how you fare with this week's selection:


If you provide the correct answer, your name will be announced next week on the Kitley's Krypt website (http://www.kitleyskrypt.com), along with a new photo. Even if you don't know the answer, we welcome any sorta-kinda educated guess! So, send in your emails today and good luck!

Southern Fried indie horror headed for MTV?


From Commercial Appeal, Memphis, TN

The made-in-Memphis MTV horror flick Savage County is likely to air on the MTV2 network this Halloween season. Originally slated to be shown as a series of 7-to-9-minute "webisodes" on MTV.com, in the manner of Craig Brewer's "$5 Cover" (which debuted online and on television in May 2009), Savage County has been repositioned as a made-for-TV "indie horror film," according to MTV Communications director Kurt Patat.

In a campaign being managed by Eventful.com (the company that helped turn the no-budget shocker Paranormal Activity into an Internet and box-office phenomenon), fans are asked to visit eventful.com/competitions and "demand" to see Savage County on MTV.

Written and directed by David Harris of MTV New Media, Savage County is the violent Tobe Hooper-esque tale of a group of Texas teenagers stalked by a family of vengeful rustics after a bloody prank-gone-wrong. Prior to its Music Television debut, Savage County likely will have its official world theatrical premiere during the Indie Memphis Film Festival, which runs from Oct. 21-22.
