Good morning (for another 5 minutes it is, at least). I finally have a day off and I got to sleep in. Time for another blast from the recent past--MORE posts from that other site of things purchased this year before I started this page on ALL POSTER FORUM!
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN:
Yes, everyone knows (and apparently wants) this poster. I've been trying to snag one for years and years. In January, I finally got one. Yahoo!
DR. SHAGETZ:
"Dr.Shagetz"? I've never heard of it. Must have been a big hit in the 70s....NOT. Still the poster was just interesting enough (and cheap enough) to buy. The picture shown is a pic taken from the internet. I'm not sure why it's not a picture of my actual item. Anyway,I looked up this history of this flick and found this: http://horrorpedia.com/2012/10/10/evil-town/ It kind of makes me curious to see the original, uncut version now...
SOMETHING WEIRD:
I scored another HG Lewis poster earlier this year. "Something Weird" is an LSD-themed movie and the namesake of the video company that releases lost old trashy movies (like "Something Weird"! Ha!). I saw this years ago (80s vhs, of course) and it was...crap. But, it's HG Lewis and Something Weird Video (a company I bought from frequently in the VHS days and early in the DVD days before they started going cheapy DVD-r) totally uses the image for its logo. Why not?
MACUMBA LOVE:
"Macumba Love"---never seen the flick,but have often seen the poster and wondered about it. It's mine now. I Macumba Love it. Ha! (Well, I don't "love"i it. I do like it though. I wish it was the full color version...but there is something creepy about this quasi-negative version). In FLAMING Eastman Color! Check out the cheesy trailer. Looks so silly/lame/fabulous! https://youtu.be/1JEncJJjhmI
DESPERATE LIVING:
This is a blurry photo, but the best I could find of the rare (and odd-sized) poster for the early John Waters movie "Desperate Living". There were no one sheets for this title and it's very hard to find any posters for it today:
FEMALE TROUBLE:
Here's another early John Waters poster--again the odd size (although there were later one sheets for this one--and I'd LOVE to have one).This is for "Female Trouble"! Oh my!
LUST IN THE DUST:
Although it is NOT a John Waters flick (even though it is often thought to be because it stars John Waters' superstar Divine), "Lust in the Dust" was also something I already had, but wasn't too expensive, so...
MR. SARDONICUS:
"Mr. Sardonicus" is a William Castle movie. Castle was the King of the Gimmicks. The gimmicks sold the movies more so than the films themselves. The particular gimmick for this flick, "The Punishment Poll", is neatly illustrated/described in the poster. Patrons supposedly decided the ending of the movie. Thumbs up if you want the hero to live. Thumbs down if he needs to be punished. Knowing his audience would want the worst, only ONE ending was ever shot. Awesome! I already had this poster, but when another came available super cheap,i could not say no.
I DISMEMBER MAMA / BLOOD-SPATTERED BRIDE combo:
I already had a copy of this poster, but couldn't resist another cheap copy. It's the double feature poster for "I Dismember Mama" and "Blood Splattered Bride". There's also mention of a groovy gimmick---that all movie goers get a free UPCHUCK CUP! Zowie! (I'd like to find one of those--an unused one, of course.)
COUNTRY CUZZINS:
My final poster for today is Harry Novak's "Country Cuzzins". "Country Cuzzins" is a sleazy low-budget country-themed sex romp from Harry Novak's Box office International Pictures that played drive ins over and over in the 70s. Novak made a lot of exploitation stuff in the 60s and 70s. Of his hillbilly themed flicks, he also had titles like "The Pig Keeper's Daughter", "Midnight Plowboy", "Tobacco Roody", and "Southern Comforts".
Stay tuned for me. Thanks for visiting.
CHEERS!
