Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION #18*#


May 20, 2015, 02:57:36 AM

I can't sleep (what else is new?) and I need to get up at 5 a.m. for work... BLAH!  So, I thought I'd post some more blasts from the recent past from the last 1-3 years (images I bothered to save to photobucket). Here are 10 more posters in my collection:



The Don Knotts movies of the 60s were silly, mindless fun. I was thrilled to finally track down a copy of "THE GHOST AND MR. CHICKEN" a short while ago. Before that though, I scored "The Reluctant Astronaut". I don't remember much about the flick, other than Knotts plays a guy who runs a space ride at a local amusement park...and somehow gets mistaken for a real astronaut and sent to NASA! Hilarity ensues---I guess. The rest of the movie memory is murky...  Hmm.






I think I need to see this movie, "MOONCHILD"---but I have a feeling it will suck. But, zowie! The ad copy is groovy.  "Racing to his final exorcism! Pursued by bizarre demons from his shrouded past. A reincarnate...trapped in a recurring nightmare of occult evil." It sounds there is a lot going on in this flick---but since no one has ever heard of this, it can't be that fantastic. But I'm a sucker for anything "exorcism", so...






"APARTMENT ZERO"---Love this cool little art house gem of a movie. I also dig the quasi-mysterious poster art.






"FROZEN ALIVE"---I've not seen this but it looks like an ultra low budget trash fest...but, cool-ish poster!






"FRIGHT NIGHT"--the original. I don't know why this poster is so expensive usually. (Truth be told, it's not great in my book...)





Okay--this has to be the lamest poster ever...and it tells you nothing about the plot. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the one sheet for "THE TWONKY".  If you've seen it, you know why I got this. Ha! How many movies about attacking TV sets have you seen? This is unintentionally (???) funny and has to be seen to be believed (the movie--not the poster).







"ALLIGATOR"--a giant monster on the loose flick that came out in the wake of "JAWS". Not the best poster in the world (the Euro version was way better), but I want to go ahead and post this so i remember (when I see it--Ha!) that I DO ALREADY have this. I'm always thinking I don't...






Anyone want some beefcake? "LATIN BOYS GO TO HELL"... Is this even a movie poster? Apparently it is. I bought this as an investment, figuring the bear-chested guy will be appealing to down the way and the price (next to nothing) will go up the older and scarcer this gets. The thing I do like about it is the unconventional layout---the title is on the top and bottom, with the credits all on the side. Different. And--eek!  A hint of pubic hair. Ha! Whatever... Beefcake and cheesecake always seem to appreciate, so...







I like my combo posters. This one is kind of boring, but figure it's as close as I'll ever get to a "Mark of the Vampire", "Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde" and "Mask of Fu Manchu" as I'll ever get...plus it has Karloff, Lugosi and March on it. Nothing spectacular, but...






Last one for the night, "PASSION PLANTATION"--sexploitation sleaze ripping off "Mandingo" and "Roots".  Why isn't trash like this out on DVD?  Waaagh!  This was probably hysterically funny without meaning to be.




Okay--there's 10 more. Off to bed now...hopefully I can sleep.

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...
