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 2023: #10

Welcome back! I certainly did NOT expect to have any further posts with new purchases this 2023 calendar year, but here we are. Granted, most of these are holdover purchases from my temporary poster-buying insanity in October. I’d expected those to be the foundation for whatever post I kicked off the new year with. But now? I had a few more pick ups… Why hold back? Let’s send 2023 out with a real BANG! Christmas came a little early this year. Uh oh… The lights are dimming. Take your seats. Let’s see what I have for you this time… GIRL IN GOLD BOOTS:  Not a great poster, but one I’ve been after for a while. This flick is an exploitationer from legendary B man Ted V. Mikels (CORPSE GRINDERS, ASTRO-ZOMBIES, BLOOD ORGY OF THE SHE-DEVILS, etc.). I saw it years ago. I don’t remember much other than that there is a girl (who wears gold go-go boots) who is a dancer (and maybe sings?) and is somehow involved in the criminal underworld. Like a lot of Mikels’ films…it doesn’t leave an indelible m

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #9

  Welcome! Get your tickets and take your seat.The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is about to begin. I am still disabled and only getting worse…yet, uh, um…I’m spending money on my ADDICTION to posters that I really have NO BUSINESS doing. Why? Because I am STUPID. (But I LOVE staring at them…) Waaaaagh! Anyway—-my stupidity is your viewing pleasure (or however you want to term it…).  Here we go… THE LADY IN THE MORGUE (1942 RE-RELEASE) : This isn't something that I'd usually buy. I've never seen this old mystery/whodunit flick. Despite this being a re-release poster (The original, with completely different art, hails from 1938.), I decided to go ahead and buy this 81-year-old gem for several reasons. I like the monster-ish hands reaching in at the couple. I dig the purple/green color scheme. The old school font is awesome...and one of its co-stars is Barbara Pepper, who brilliantly played Mrs. Ziffel (Arnold the pig's "mom") on GREEN ACRES. Ha! The most important r

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #8

  And, what!?! We're B-A-C-K!!! That was...quick. (It just seems that way as I delayed the previous post until I finished my write up on my Something Weird Video adrventure, which I had linked to the page. I've already been working on this one for several weeks.) Truth be told, though, about half of these became mine in a 12 hour period. It is no secret that I am now disabled. I live on a VERY modest income with very little in the bank to fall back on. There is a saying, "You can't take it with you." There should also be a saying that says "You can't enjoy it if you don't have it." That seemed to have been my mindset during a recent eMovieposter auction. Despite the fact that everything was on linen--there were so many titles I wanted. Things were fairly cheap...until the very end. But... Geez! Dipping into my meager savings was... EXTREMELY STUPID and FOOLISH.  But, it happened. Let's take a look: PRO BALL CHEERLEADERS: What the hell is this
