Not much happening poster shopping-wise for me lately. I've picked up a FEW goodies, but I'll save those for when I have more to share. Instead, I thought I'd do another flashback to purchases from the last 2 years or so (since they are all in boxes or tubes until I move back into a house). In no particular order:
"FRANCIS IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE"---I've never seen any of the Francis the Talking Mule movies (yet). This was the 8th (?) and last one in the series. I've always been curious about this series ("Francis" came before "Mr. Ed") and this swell poster is about him going to a haunted house! Yowza! How fun! With Mickey Rooney too!
Here's another of those kiddie matinee posters. This one is for a non-Disney "PINOCCHIO" (All new! All live! Never before shown anywhere! Presented in glorious glowing Storybook Color.)
Here's a late (and lesser known) entry in the cannibal genre, "WHITE SLAVE"!
This movie is crappy---despite all of the stop motion animation, etc in it. But wow! Such a fun and schlocky poster---"LASERBLAST".Don't bother with the movie--just hang the cheesy poster on your wall. Ha!
I know what you are thinking, that "SHARKNADO" is NOT a movie and played on TV. This can NOT be a "movie poster". WRONG! While it WAS a TV movie, it did play theaters mere days after it debuted--but there were NO posters for that showing. However, several months later, RiffTraxx (the former Mystery Science Theater 3000 guys) did a "live" show that was broadcast in theaters from coast to coast. This is the movie theater movie poster to advertise that event. (And yes--I DID go to see it! You gotta love the glorious stupidity of "Sharknado" movies! Hello!??!)
"THE STRANGLER"--never seen it but a creepy cool old poster that makes it look disturbing and with Victor Buono (King Tut from "Batman" and also from "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane"), it's bound to be interesting.
"THE CHILD"---simple black and white poster, but effectively creepy with the gnarled trees, long shadows, off hinge gate, hint of graves and, of course, the glowing-eyed girl. Oooooooo
During the spy craze, everyone was getting into the act...including "The Flintstones" in the big screen movie "A MAN CALLED FLINTSTONE". If the poster looks familiar, it's because it's mimicking another popular spy movie poster, "Our Man Flint"! Zowie!
Alas, it's the poster for an apparently LOST bigfoot movie (that looks like it might have been awesomely BAD), "REVENGE OF BIGFOOT" starring Rory Calhoun! Ha!
And here's our 10th and final flashback poster for the evening, William Castle's gimmick-laden poster for "HOMICIDAL" (the film with the "Fright Break" and the "Coward's Corner"!! Ha!).
Okay bed calls.
Good night!
CHEERS!
