Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 28*#

August 10, 2015, 03:34:15 AM


I'm back...with everything else I'll have for a long, long, l-o-n-g time, with the exception of the three I still can't talk about yet.

THE SPECTRE OF EDGAR ALLAN POE:
First off...something I have no idea why I bought it (and I certainly have no memory of even buying it...but it's here), THE SPECTRE OF EDGAR ALLAN POE. I know NOTHING about this movie and the poster make it look like low budget crap. Oh well. (And yes, I am still in a grumpy mood...)



THE TINGLER:
Finally mine--after a zillion years of hunting for one--is William Castle's gimmick-a-go-go flick-a-rama classic, "THE TINGLER"! Hot diggity. I have ALL of Castle's horror one sheets now...with the exception of one (that is beyond expensive and I'll never own it). That is okay--at least I got this one. Yippie!




HERCULES AGAINST THE BARBARIANS:
HERCULES AGAINST THE BARBARIANS is not a good flick. Hmm. However, I will try to snag any old HERCULES title that comes my way. Overall, I dig those old, cheesy flicks (the ones involving magic and or monsters are the best/worst. The others, like this one, tend to be dull...). I am glad I got it.




OPERA:
Dario Argento's OPERA. This is the Italian poster.





MAGIC MIKE XL:
Another MAGIC MIKE 2 poster...this is an advance. Ha!  I got this for $2. Before the film came out they were $15 or $20. Trash now, but in a few years...(hopefully).




BILLY THE KID VS DRACULA / JESSE JAMES MEETS FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER:
Didn't I just buy one of these not too long ago?  UGH!  It's ANOTHER copy of the great western/horror double feature, BILLY THE KID VS DRACULA and JESSE JAMES MEETS FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER!  Hopefully this is a better copy than the one I already have...



BARRACUDA:
The final one for tonight (leaving just three more that I'm still NOT ready to discuss for another time) is the Italian poster for the "JAWS" ripoff, "BARRACUDA"---which is slightly more interesting than the US one sheet.





Okay--go back and do something more interesting than look at my pathetic posters. UGH!  I am in such a dumpy mood...

Cha-cha-cha!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: Special Edition #1

  Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. This edition is a bit different. As you may know, with certain exceptions that may come my way, I've by and large stopped buying posters. This post isn't about new posters. Instead it is about my first experiencing linenbacking posters.  If you've read any of my posts before, you will know that I am NO FAN of linenbacked posters. However, as my collecting days were slowing/coming to an end, getting things on linen seemed to be the only way I'd be ever able to enjoy certain posters if I wanted them. I now have several linenbacked posters in my collection. I'm about to have four more... I am still working through a move I made 2 years ago. I am trying to get  my poster collection organized in some sort of manner. I am still going through boxes and tubes, trying to frame them or add them to my flat file drawers (or set them aside for either auction or to donate to thrift stores). During one such effort to (stupidly) pull...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: Special Edition #2: The Best of 2024

Well, 2024 is coming to a close. It's time once again to go through the year's purchases and touch on the favorites I picked up through the year. This was a light year for purchases for me--and next year I expect will be even more sparse, if there are any at all. But I was able to eek out 10 (actually 11) faves for 2024 and here they are: (Honorable Mention) HOUSE OF THE DEAD: I don't have much this year to warrant an "honorable mention". I would probably have used this poster in the #10 spot...except the one there I had been after for sooooo long (despite the movie turning out to be snore-inducing when I finally saw it). This poster I had never seen before--not am I familair with the movie. it probably sucks, but I liked the artwork on the poster---so that is why I chose to include it--honorable mention or not. 10):   THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS  and  OKEFENOKEE  (combo) : I have been after this poster for decades--long before I ever saw the yawn-inducing film...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: #7

  Welcome back! I certainly NEVER expected to be back with another Shock-O-Rama Poster Show, yet here I am. Sure, maybe a "special edition" (about hanging posters or framing them, etc.) would have popped up--but one with "new" posters? No. I have cancer and have been going through chemo for the last four months. Why buy posters if I wind up dead? I resisted for a long time, but...here I am, binging (and mostly on CRAP!). There are 14 here...instead of my ususual 10. I haven't been keeping track of the (utter trash) I've been buying. So, as best I can figure out, for better or worse (mostly worse), these are my new purchases since May or June. I am pulling this together as I realized it's the end of the year--and a "best of 2024" should happen. O' the fun... NOT! I'm trying to recover from my last chemo treatment even now --and all I want to do is be in bed. THE BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS: Several pieces I ended up with are in poor shape an...
