Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION #2*#

April 03, 2015, 03:32:26 AM

I need to get to bed---UGH!  I have to be up in 5 hours! Yikes!---but I was so not impressed by my recent purchases that I had posted, so I decided to look into my Photobucket listings from the old/deleted movie poster discussion chain I had posted on that other site and post my favorite 10 purchases from last year.


In no particular order...


"REVOLT OF THE ZOMBIES" re-release. I love, love, LOVE this poster! Yes, it is only a re-release poster (completely different art than the original release) and yes, the movie is crap-a-rama boring. But it still speaks to me. Oooo wow! I am still thrilled all of these months later that I got it. :-)  I can't even explain why.





I'm a big "Tarzan" fan. I have all of the "Tarzan" posters up into the Gordon Scott era (the later titles), but anything earlier has always eluded me. Last year I scored a Lex Barker (talking Tarzan #2, after Weissmuller) title, "TARZAN'S PERIL". It may not be in the best shape, but it's colorful and a Lex Barker era--my first! I certainly never thought I get one that far back.  Zowie! (Everybody give a Tarzan yell: Ah-AH-ahhh!!!)




"ASTRO ZOMBIES"!!!  This is the re-release poster for Ted V. Mikels schlock-o-rama sci-fi flick. Both the original poster and re-release have cool artwork, but this is the one came my way. WOW! Love it!!!





I had never heard of "I'VE LIVED BEFORE" until I came across the poster at auction. What cool artwork. I needed it. I bid...and lost. Another came up--same story. On and on and on until...MINE!  Whoo hoo!






"BLACULA"!!!  Jinkies! I was so surprised to land this one. I have owned the sequel poster, "Scream Blacula Scream: for a while, but the original? Always out of reach... I am trying to gather all of the blaxploitation horror film posters of the 70s. I had "Scream Blacula Scream", "Abbey" (the "Black Exorcist"), and "Sugar Hill" (voodoo zombies!), but was missing a few key pieces. "Blacula" was one of them, and certainly the most well known. And, tuh-duh! Last year, it became MINE!





Not long after scoring "Blacula", I lucked out with another of the elusive blaxploitation horror posters---"DR. BLACK / MR. HYDE"!  Yippie yippie yaHOO!





I've never seen "PRISON GIRLS", but I am a sucker for gimmicks advertised on posters. Vintage 3D poster? I'm there!  This one was unusual because nothing was seemingly being thrust out to the viewer. Instead there's this weird perspective that you are surrounded by the prison gals looking down at you. Very unusual and cool in my book.





"BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE"--beautiful old horror poster. WOW! This is not a picture of the poster I won. I don't know why I didn't save a photo from the auction or take one when it arrived. Mine is a little rough, but not too shabby. I am delighted with it. I totally dig it. Can't wait to hang it.





"NARCOTIC STORY"looks so wonderfully campy. I can't wait to hang it up.Of course, the big syringe on the movie poster reminds me that I am a movie poster addict. Is there a 10 step program for people like us?  Ha!






And that brings me to No. 10....(which I'm debating about. Ha! Is it this one, this one or this one? Hmm...). I guess I'll go with "LADY FRANKENSTEIN"!   Only the monster she made could satisfy her strange desires... Ha! Gotta love the monster art and the laboratory. Crappy movie more or less, but fun and colorful poster.





Okay--those are my 10 faves I got last year. I'll addmore to this as I either get more or dig through my photobucket archives. Thanks for looking. I know they're not as lovely and cool as some of yours, but I'm kind of digging them in a far out way. Yabba  dabba doo!

CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #5

  And I'm back... This, I think, will be my final post of new posters. I had a few leftover posters from last time...and got others to fill out this post and get this done. I can't afford anything anymore and really, with my diminishing health, I should STOP collecting.  TANYA'S ISLAND: This was a cheap grab. I've never seen the movie, but have long wanted this poster. It's so doofy looking. This movie has been on my radar since its release--and it is amazingly hard to find. (As I said, I have NOT seen it yet.) From what I understand, it's basically KING KONG, but with a normal-sized ape (aka man in a bad moneky suit--based on the pictures I've seen) and a bit naughtier. (Hence the R-rating.) D.D. Winters is better known as Vanity, Prince's protegee back in the 80s. She apparently spends a good deal of the time naked. It's supposed to be bad. (No surprise.) I'd still like to see it. HOT DOG: THE MOVIE: I don't know why I bought this. I'm...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #4

  Hello. Welcome back. Today's offerings are...rather unexciting for the most part. As I've said many times before, my poster-buying power has been greatly diminished. I fear my post-buying days are wrapping up, too. The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show may be finally coming to a close in the near future. For now though, here's the latest of what I have to share with you today: KING FRAT: This was a fairly cheap poster--but supposedly rather rare? But really, it's not much to look at. I bought it because... I remember when this obscurity came out. Although I never saw it, it appeared to be some low-rent ANIMAL HOUSE wannabe. I was always curious... I bought it on disk (with THE CHEERING SECTION) on a clearance sale for old CODE RED products. (I guess that company went out of business?) I haven't watched it yet as I read the disk was taken directly from two very badly worn VHS sources. Oh well. I'll get to it someday. Maybe. The poster will go in a drawer. Whoopie... STA...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2021 #11

  Hi! Welcome to the 11th--and possibly LAST--- Shock-O-Rama Poster Show of the year --at least for several months. I'm busy packing for a move and up to my armpits in posters. (Details below.) UGH! I mean, I may buy more...but I don't have the time, money, and I want to be done with poster packing. Speaking of which, you may notice there is more than my usual 10 posters. Instead of holding back posters for some future posting (which may not be for months--if ever. My health issues keep rearing their ugly heads.), I'm posting everything I've gotten since last time. Take a peek or don't. I'm not feeling so well, which explains my rush to get this posted and the use of some online photos to illustrate today's posting. I'm going to go lay down. (Don't mind me...) Go ahead and take in the show: SHARKWATER EXTINCTION: I love the JAWS flicks, the rip-offs, and bad shark movies in general. This looks like it's probably a documentary--not a bad shark mov...
