Okay... So I'm B-A-C-K with more purchases. As you know, I have been saving myself for marriage...er, uh, NO!!! I mean I have been confining my purchases to the "bucket list" variety... But, man o' man, did I shoot the proverbial wad tonight (and I'm talking FINANCIAL wad, just in case someone out there had a dirty mind) and...eeek! I won't be buying anything else for a long while. OUCH! What was I thinking? Ha! Guess it will take me even LONGER to get out of debt than I thought. Ha!
Anyway--here's a peek-a-rama at my recent posters-a-go-go!
Yes, even though this movie is not well known, I have been trying to get this poster for decades. I LOVED this movie as a kid. On Saturdays there used to be this horror double feature on one local channel. They didn't have a huge library and tended to show the same movies several times. I always made it a point to watch "Burn Witch Burn" when it was on. I don't even know what they appeal was today, having seen the film as a grown up. It's interesting but very subtle and slow. It's hard to imagine a 12 year old being glued to the TV set for it---but I was. Ha!
"Phantom of the Paradise" is one of those movies that the poster makes you want to see soooooo badly....and yet, in all of these years, I have NEVER seen the film. I'm almost afraid to now---as the movie must be ultra dated (?). The poster--which I find fantastic--has always been beyond my grasp though. Maybe now that I have the poster I can finally get around to seeing the movie? Hmm.
"Halloween 4"?? A "bucket list" title? I will buy all of the posters for all of the "Halloween" movies--past or future (even those Rob Zombie turd...of which the poster for the first one really was good). While I am reasonably sure I have to poster for "Part 4" already---there is a sliver of doubt in my head. So, since it wasn't that expensive, I just bought it.
When I bought "Halloween 4", the one sheet for "Halloween 5" came with it. So...
"The Creature From The Haunted Sea" is a crappy flick---with a cool poster. Need I say more?
"Man From Deep River" isn't really a cannibal flick per se, but it IS kind of the movie that launched the Italian cannibal genre. If it weren't for "Man From Deep River"s success, there may have been no "Cannibal Holocaust" or "Cannibal Ferox" etc. Whatever.
"The Murder Gang"??? Huh? It came with "Man From Deep River"---REALLY! Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. The artwork is nice, but it would have been nicer in color...and who ever heard of this flick?
"Ride The Wild Surf"---wow! One of the big kahuna of bucket list posters (well, maybe more of a lesser bucket list item...but "big kahuna" goes better with the surfing theme). i love all of those old Frankie & Annette beach party flicks. I've been trying to expand on other beach-y titles and this one was a natural. It's more serious in nature--not nearly as campy--but I wanted it anyway. Great graphics and stars people like Fabian, Tab Hunter, Barbara Eden,Shelly Fabares, and Susan Hart. Yet, it has always gone way, WAY high. I'm not sure why, but I have a copy now so I no longer need to worry about getting one.
"The Wild World of Bat Woman"---WOW! I love the cheap, cheesiness of this poster. The drawings of the people at the bottom look like they were done by a 6th grader...Ha! I've been trying to get this poster for years---the movie is just trash. I love it! Sooooo excited to have this finally.
I have been waiting forever to get "Terror in a Haunted House" as well! Love the screaming woman and the floating skulls graphics! I still need to track down the half sheet, because the one sheet makes no mention of the gimmick used with this flick (Psycho-Rama!), which the half sheet does. Still---wow! LOVE this!
And that's all for tonight, gang. I am tired and BEYOND BROKE! Ha! I let so many things get away--and fought to keep others...and my credit cards are not going to be happy campers! (But my future walls will be when I get these babies up! Yahoo!)
CHEERS!
