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!
