Kitley's Krypt - MYSTERY PHOTO #11
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 MP was from the Hammer film VAMPIRE CIRCUS(1971), showing David (Darth Vader) Prowse getting his back blown out, an effect that always amazes for a film made in the early '70s. Prowse also appeared in two other Hammer efforts, both times as creations of a certain infamous mad scientist: HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN (1970) and FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL (1974).
Let's see how well you fare with this week's offering:
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!
