Kitley's Krypt MYSTERY PHOTO #44


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 two photos were from

1) the classic 1978 thriller that begat a billion bastard slasher offspring, John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN


and

2) classically trained Brit actor Frank Finlay in the less-than-classic CTHULHU MANSION (1990), directed by the man who brought you the hysterically awful Pieces, Juan Piquer Simón. (Even Kitley says this one isn't worth seeking out, so don't feel too badly if you haven't come across it...)


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



Send your guesses to: jon@kitleyskrypt.com

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!

Great Overacting Moments in Horror #1

This is, hands down, one of my favorite pieces of full-flavored cinema cheese. When they pass out the Horror Film Overacting Awards, the winner for 1982 will most likely go to...Lynda Day George. Though she has demonstrated her ample skills in such B-classics as DAY OF THE ANIMALS (1977), MURDER AT THE WORLD SERIES (1977), BEYOND EVIL (1980) and MORTUARY (1983), nothing comes close to her stellar work as a former tennis pro turned undercover cop in PIECES (1982). Here's a little sample:
