The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #3

  Hello! Welcome back! Yes, it has been a while since we were last here together. As you know, my buying power has been significantly cut in recent years and what funds I do have left are getting exhausted. Quickly. I tell you that to prepare you for another less-than-stellar edition of the SHOCK-O-RAMA POSTER SHOW. O' there are a few pieces I am really pumped about. The rest are sort of... eh, you'll see. (It's not like I haven't posted poster turds before...) Come, grab a seat and take a look if you'd like. The show is beginning now... AMITYVILLE (video series posters) : The following four images I am lumping together as "one poster". They're all 11x17 (a size I don't usually bother sharing). They are also for some of the lowest-budgeted "films" (ahem!) you will ever see. Yes, they are all AMITYVILLE movies. As Amityville is a town and cannot be copyrighted, anyone can make an AMITYVILLE movie--and several non-talented bozos have given

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #2

  Hi there! Yes, I am B-A-C-K! And I’ve been bad… I’m NOT even back home yet (I’m still visiting in California until next Saturday.), and yet here I am with another Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. Oh my…  (Uh, in my defense, I do have to point out what will become obvious as we work through these, that they are far (FAR) from being some of the more interesting posters I’ve scored of late. In fact, as you’ll see, these are certainly very bottom tier posters (and were CHEAP). However, I was thrilled to get them (lover of trash flicks that I am).  But let’s not dilly dally. I need to get to bed at some time tonight…and the lights are dimming. Quick! Grab a seat. The show is about to begin… FIVE MILLION YEARS TO EARTH: I have one of these already (otherwise it would be further down the list). Why get another? At the moment, I do not recall the particulars, but I do recall my copy had issues that I was not fond of. A replacement was needed and it didn’t take me nearly five million years to find a

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #1

  Oh, hi there. You caught me. I was supposed to be away visiting California until February 17th. However, I had to come back home for something unexpectedly. I'll be here another 2 weeks before I head back to California to finish out my planned visit. Boring stuff, I know. But, since you ARE here... I guess I could show you what I have added to my collection since we were last together several months ago. I have to be quick though as I only have a little time here. Ohhh! There go the lights. Take a seat. The show is beinging... DYNASTY (3D) : The poster shown below is not mine. I couldn't go back and save the image as it has been months since I got this. (The actual poster is back in Californioa at a friend's house.) I already have one (or more?) of these, but stupid me can't resist a gimmick (in this case 3D) and a sale. (I scooped this up super cheaply!) Andy Warhol's FRANKENSTEIN (3D) : I have always thought this original release poster for Andy Warhol's F

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 Special Edition: Top 10 Poster Purchases of 2023

  Welcome back! It's getting to be that time o' the year again. A new year is right around the corner and it's time us to reflect on all of the goodness that came our way during the year. Despite the fact that much of what is shown here is on linen (Groan...), the year still ended up being much better for me than it had any right to be.  So, let's quite the dilly-dallying and go take a gander. Shall we?  Here are the top 10 faves o' mine that I added in 2023: Runner up)  THE MAZE  (3-D on linen) : While not the most exciting of posters (Yes, it’s kind of dull.), it’s a vintage 3-D move poster from the first wave in the 1950s. Yahoo! Despite being on linen, it’s still a great find. This actually WAS included in my Top 10 for the year until another poster came along at the last minute that I like better. Instead of cutting it out, I just gave it the title of “runner up”.  I’m still thrilled to have it. 10) DEEP RED:  This should probably be further down the list as I
