Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 67

December 03, 2015, 07:22:16 PM

Okay...here's another batch ( a rather hodge-podge-y batch):


THE GREEN SLIME (Spanish):

I have/love the US one sheet (had a stained one for years...another of my earliest posters. Sold that off a while back and finally got a replacement this year). I stumbled on this Spanish version--which is completely different. it was cheap, so i snapped it up! 






THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN (French p e t i t e):


Cool monster art--sure is better than the US poster. Another bargain I couldn't pass up.






NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES (Spanish):

I had no idea what this was until I googled it a few minutes ago. I just liked the art. Very creative poster...for such a schlocky movie. I wonder if i had known what this poster was for if i would have bothered. Hmm.






THE LADY HAS BEEN RAPED (Italian):

I had no idea what this was when i picked it up either. I thought maybe it was some silly supernatural sex comedy (based on the devil guy's facial expression, OK finger gesture and obviously phallic tail. I really couldn't tell by the woman's expression if she were terrified or just surprised). OOPS!  I apologize if anyone is offended by it. It was only after getting it that it occurred to me to translate the title online. I googled the title as well. IMDB had virtually NO information about it. It was another cheap-O. I'm hoping there is something lost in the translation...especially since the tag line at the top reads: "A whirlwind of laughter and amusement."






THE HOWLING (Spanish):  

Very different poster art for this Spanish release. The face doesn't look like a werewolf, but then it doesn't really look like anything--just creepy.






THE HOWLING II (Italian): 

After finding the Spanish HOWLING above, i couldn't believe my luck when i stumbled on this cool Italian HOWLING 2 poster. The movie is crappy...and normally (because I didn't like the film), i'd pass on the poster.  The more i looked at it, the more i saw how cool it really is -- regardless of the movie it represents. (Just like my NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES poster above)  






SWAMP OF THE RAVENS (Spanish):

I actually saw this movie not too long ago. It wasn't great, but the DVD cover was cool. Lo and behold...the cover was the movie poster! I don't know if there is an English poster for this or not--I've never seen one. I know I saw one ofd these go at auction not too long ago. i was watching it---but stopped when it went higher than i was willing to pay for it (which wasn't much. Ha!). This one was also a cheap-o.  Although the artwork is kind of primitive, i dig it--the woman wading through the swamp filled with corpses and body parts while the ravens caw away from above.






CRASH OF FLIGHT 401 (Spanish):

This is yet another case of a US TV movie getting theatrical play overseas. Ha! This movie is based on a true story about a flight that crashed in the swamps in Florida just after takeoff. I wish it would be released on DVD. I like my disaster flicks. I'm just sorry this is based on a real incident. 






CRASH OF FLIGHT 401 (aka S.O.S. MIAMI AIRPORT) (Italian):

Here is the same movie as above...yet the Italian version saddled with a different  title (in English!), "S.O.S. Miami Airport"!  of the two, i think i like this poster better. 






RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (Thai):

Here's my fave-o-rite poster o' the bunch...the awesome Thai version of "RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD"!   Oooo I needed one of these.  Just gorgeous!





Okay--that's enough for now. I'm hungry and freezing (remember--I have NO HEAT!  Brrr...)

Have a groovy rest of the day.


CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023: #10

Welcome back! I certainly did NOT expect to have any further posts with new purchases this 2023 calendar year, but here we are. Granted, most of these are holdover purchases from my temporary poster-buying insanity in October. I’d expected those to be the foundation for whatever post I kicked off the new year with. But now? I had a few more pick ups… Why hold back? Let’s send 2023 out with a real BANG! Christmas came a little early this year. Uh oh… The lights are dimming. Take your seats. Let’s see what I have for you this time… GIRL IN GOLD BOOTS:  Not a great poster, but one I’ve been after for a while. This flick is an exploitationer from legendary B man Ted V. Mikels (CORPSE GRINDERS, ASTRO-ZOMBIES, BLOOD ORGY OF THE SHE-DEVILS, etc.). I saw it years ago. I don’t remember much other than that there is a girl (who wears gold go-go boots) who is a dancer (and maybe sings?) and is somehow involved in the criminal underworld. Like a lot of Mikels’ films…it doesn’t leave an indelible m

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #9

  Welcome! Get your tickets and take your seat.The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is about to begin. I am still disabled and only getting worse…yet, uh, um…I’m spending money on my ADDICTION to posters that I really have NO BUSINESS doing. Why? Because I am STUPID. (But I LOVE staring at them…) Waaaaagh! Anyway—-my stupidity is your viewing pleasure (or however you want to term it…).  Here we go… THE LADY IN THE MORGUE (1942 RE-RELEASE) : This isn't something that I'd usually buy. I've never seen this old mystery/whodunit flick. Despite this being a re-release poster (The original, with completely different art, hails from 1938.), I decided to go ahead and buy this 81-year-old gem for several reasons. I like the monster-ish hands reaching in at the couple. I dig the purple/green color scheme. The old school font is awesome...and one of its co-stars is Barbara Pepper, who brilliantly played Mrs. Ziffel (Arnold the pig's "mom") on GREEN ACRES. Ha! The most important r

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #8

  And, what!?! We're B-A-C-K!!! That was...quick. (It just seems that way as I delayed the previous post until I finished my write up on my Something Weird Video adrventure, which I had linked to the page. I've already been working on this one for several weeks.) Truth be told, though, about half of these became mine in a 12 hour period. It is no secret that I am now disabled. I live on a VERY modest income with very little in the bank to fall back on. There is a saying, "You can't take it with you." There should also be a saying that says "You can't enjoy it if you don't have it." That seemed to have been my mindset during a recent eMovieposter auction. Despite the fact that everything was on linen--there were so many titles I wanted. Things were fairly cheap...until the very end. But... Geez! Dipping into my meager savings was... EXTREMELY STUPID and FOOLISH.  But, it happened. Let's take a look: PRO BALL CHEERLEADERS: What the hell is this
