The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2017 #2 -- MORE Movie Posters*#



It's poster time again. I have to tell you, since Photobucket screwed up my thread on APF, I am just so lost and bewildered. I don't know what I have/don't have. My heart has totally NOT been in it, as far as collecting goes. I've reverted back to picking up basically crap again. Here are the latest pick ups---mostly trash and/or repeats of stuff I am sure I already have...with a small gem or two as well. Take a look or don't. Let's head off to the poster dance party:


THE TOUCH OF SATAN:

Seemingly riding on the coattails of THE EXORCIST ("A story of EXORCISM!"), but the film is from 1971...a few years before THE EXORCIST. However, the runaway hit novel came out in 1971, and that could explain the caption (unless this poster is a re-release?). Anyway, i got this poster as i THINK this is the movie that's TV ad scared me as a child. Tracking it down years later, the movie is yawn-inducing. Oh well. It's still a fun poster. I probably already have it...



AUNTIE MAME:
Drat! I had no idea this was a re-release. It wasn't listed as one. But if I had just bothered to LOOK at the poster, i'd have seen "All set to convulse all America all over again". Clearly a re-release. Oh well.  I've done dumber things than buy re-releases...




DRACULA: PRINCE OF DARKNESS:
Speaking of poster i might already have, here is this Hammer Dracula poster. The Hammer Dracula posters really could have been so much better...




GIDGET GOES HAWAIIAN:
I already have GIDGET GOES TO ROME and now this one. That just leaves the original GIDGET poster left to get. 




GREASE (ADVANCE):
I had one of these back in the day. I won tickets to the local premiere of "GREASE" and they gave out ROLLED copies of this poster as prizes (along with foam "dice" to hang from your rear-view mirror). My poster was (stupidly) hung up on my wall (with tape!) and proceeded to get ruined over time. It was thrown away---and now they are pretty costly to buy. I finally got a replacement (although this one is tri-folded, not rolled).




THE HOUSE OF EXORCISM (AUSTRALIAN):
I love my EXORCIST rip-offs. This one is one of my faves. It started off as LISA AND THE DEVIL and then was recut, had some scenes added to cash in on the EXORCIST craze and voila...HOUSE OF EXORCISM. I have the US once sheet but have had my eye on this Australian version for years.



SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION:
 Another of Tobe Hooper's flops. Great material to mine, but with disappointing results. Utterly forgettable. A "lot" purchase.




MORGAN STEWART'S COMING HOME:
Jon Cryer in some 80s trash. Whoopie. This was part of a lot. 




PHANTOM OF THE OPERA:
Robert "Freddy Kreuger" Englund's venture as the PHANTOM OF THE OPERA was a gory remake cashing in on the musical's success at the time---but this is NOT the musical. Decent, but nothing to write home about. Another "lot" purchase.




INVASION OF THE BLOOD FARMERS:
What is not to love about this title? I already have this poster, but for some reason felt compelled to buy another. I liked this movie. It was low budget and largely forgotten, but I thought it was fun.



THE CONCORDE AFFAIR (ITALIAN):
Yopu gotta love the Italians. They have NO SHAME when it comes to ripping off movies. They have infamously made fake sequels to things like "DAWN OF THE DEAD" and "ALIEN" with mixed results. This bogus sequel to the AIRPORT series cashed in on the REAL entry for 1979, THE CONCORDE: AIRPORT '79. with the title, year and type of plane. I've heard it is pretty awful, but I really want to see it some day. Ha!



CAPTIVE WOMEN II: ORGIES OF THE DAMNED (JAPANESE):
I'm NOT sure exactly which Nazisploitation flick this is. Emovie, where I got this, listed it under the title shown above. It also said it is known as "NAZI EXPERIMENT LOVE CAMP". I'm sure I've seen this, just not under any of those titles. Hmm. http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php(They all blend together in my head anyway.)  Whatever. Forgive the watermark and the censored bits. I have the unwatermarked/uncensored photo, but thought it best to post it censored on here.



JOURNEY INTO THE BEYOND:
Another "lot" buy. A Mondo-type documentary. Never seen it.



JOURNEY TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME:
Just when I thought I had all of my Childhood Productions kiddie matinee posters, i stumble on this one. And zowie! What is this one? A little research shows this to be a Russian (?) flick about some kids who go down a river and back in time---kind of like "LAND OF THE LOST" in a way. Apparently this was released in a serialized format and then later re-released as a kiddie matinee by Childhood Productions. i think i might need to track this down.



MAN-EATER (re-release of SHARK):
Hot on the heels of the success of JAWS came this re-titled, re-release of "SHARK", starring a young Burt Reynolds who, in the 70s', was Mr. Box-Office Gold. However, I do NOT think this re-release drummed up the business it was hoping to. I had NEVER even heard of it until years later when i saw the poster. Incidentally, "SHARK" was notorious in its day. LIFE magazine had sent a photographer along to the set of the shoot and captured photos of a stunt man attacked and killed by a real shark. 



ROOM 328:
 A film by Mother Goose Lickers? Okay... This is a super rare poster from some moldy oldie gay porn flick from the 70s. These old posters are impossible to find, so I am hoping I can turn around and sell this puppy down the road for a pretty penny at some point.



WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?:
Here is my prize in this batch. Yahoo. I've been wanting/needing one of these for a long while. CLASSIC!



WINGS OF THE HAWK (3D):
Finally, although I already have a copy, here is a vintage 3D poster from the 1950's. LOVE it! 



That's it for now. I am still trying to puzzle out what to do since  this whole Photobucket mess happened. For now, I am here.  


CHEERS! Thank you for bothering to visit.

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #12

  Hi there. Yes, I’m back again. Really, I was in a weird, crazed buying frenzy recently. I have enough posters for at least one and a half more posts… But I’ll try to pace myself and hold back a bit. These aren’t that exciting. Actually, neither is the next batch. The batch after that has one or two things I’m especially excited about, but we’ll have to see what trickles in to fill the rest of that post up. But I’m getting ahead of myself. We are on this post. Let’s take a gander at it,  shall we? I hope it won’t be too disappointing. Perhaps there’ll be a poster on here or two that you haven’t seen before. THE QUIET EARTH: While I think I’ve heard of this movie before, and I think I may have seen this poster before, I’m not quite sure. If I have seen this poster before, I don’t think I actually owned it. Like my last post, this has a few posters that were part of several lots. No, I am not posting all of the posters in the lots. Not all of them appealed to me. This one, thou...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #13

Hello. Here we are again. There’s nothing new to see here. Every poster is either VHS-era garbage or something you’ve seen before. There is one outlier that doesn’t seem to belong, but it’s one that I’ve been looking for forever. Even though I wasn’t actively looking for it when I finally got it. Huh? Never mind. Let’s just take a look and see what we have today… CURSE III: BLOOD SACRIFICE (video) :  I don’t know what I was thinking when I decided to track down the posters for THE CURSE series . For those who have never seen it or heard of it, THE CURSE series is a mostly direct-to-video series of horror flick that are NOT related to each other at all, except by title. I have the theatrical (I think) one sheet for the original movie. I’m not sure if I have a copy of the part two poster or not, and I may have copies of parts three and four already… Or not. I am not sure. But here is the poster for CURSE III: BLOOD SACRIFICE. Yes, as you can, guess, it was cheap. Did I see the movie...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #11

Welcome back. Now that the James Bond stuff is out of the way (see my last post), I can trudge to some B-movie stuff. A lot of this stuff came from lot purchases. I have a lot of these posters already, and have shared them in previous posts. Not all of the posters from the various lot purchases will be shared. Don’t panic. I’ve just decided to share these as a way to look back at these B-flicks and reflect on them a bit. THE MEPHISTO WALTZ: This was an early movie in the 70s satanic panic cycle, that was started with ROSEMARY’S BABY in the mid 60s. If you haven’t seen it, you’re not really missing much. What I do remember most from the commercials was a dog with a human head. Imagine my annoyance when it just turned out to be a dog with a mask on its head that someone placed on it as a joke. There was no “human headed” dog in the plot. Alan Alda I identify so much with being Hawkeye on M*A*S*H, that it’s hard to see him in this movie. At least for me, this is an instance where it’s har...
