The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2017 #9 -- And MORE New Stuff*#


Hurry! Hurry! Get your tickets. The next edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is about to begin.


This new offering isn't all that exciting. Take a gander, if you like. What do you have to lose, except a little time, perhaps.

ONE FROM THE HEART (Review Style):

This was from one of Rich's auctions. I hadn't seen this review style for "ONE FROM THE HEART" before, so I bid...and got it for only $3. Awesome. Thank you, Rich.




AMITYVILLE: THE AWAKENING:

Last time, if you'll recall, I included a few props from the new "AMITYVILLE: THE AWAKENING" flick, even though it more or less never played theaters (although it was scheduled to open numerous times). I've still not seen the flick--and I do not expect much from it--but I picked up this little...what are these called?...marquee thing they put over the doors to the theaters so you know what movie is in what theater. I figured I could use it over my display of the props for the flick---if I ever get around to making a display out of them, that is.




HOT PANTS HOLIDAY:

I know nothing about this movie. This poster is included here as it was part of a lot. What a cheesy title though; "HOT PANTS HOLIDAY". I dig the tag line "From Frustration to Taboo Torrid Love". Ha! I especially dig the "See the Love Potion Voodoo Dance" blurb. Marvelous! But this is apparently an X-rated flick...starring someone named Tudi Wiggins. 





THE AMBUSHERS:

Another Matt Helm poster---hooray! But did I already have this one? Hmm. I am NOT sure. I really need to organize my posters. That has NOT been done YET. Grrr. 






THE FEMALE BUNCH:

I'm pretty sure (am I?) that I have one of these already. (Do I?) I've never seen it, but I know it is a Something Weird Video that has drummed up a semi-cult following. I've not seen it myself, but...





FIST OF FEAR TOUCH OF DEATH:

Another "lot" item. I know nothing about this flick. Does it have a plot or does it just borrow footage from elsewhere to include Bruce Lee prominently on the poster?






HEAVY TRAFFIC:

I've not seen most of the Ralph Bakshi movies, except for WIZARDS and AMERICAN POP. I've been curious about the FRITZ THE CAT movies and HEAVY TRAFFIC, but not THAT curious.  Another "lot" win.






DRIVE IN:

I have several copies of this poster. I LOVED this movie as a kid. It didn't age very well when I watched it again as an adult. The best part of the flick is still the movie ("DISASTER 76") being shown on the screen (illustrated on the poster). The movie may not be as good as it was when I was a kid, but the poster is still very fun.





SUPERMAN:

I am NOT a fan of the modern superhero movies. The last superhero movie series i liked was the "Superman" flicks of the late 70s/early 80s. I wasn't a huge fan---and preferred 1 and 2 over 3 (just god-awful) and 4, but... oh well.  I never cared for this poster design for the first film, but now I have one. Super.






HOT SKIN (aka DISCO DOLLS IN HOT SKIN or BLONDE EMANUELLE):

Finally, I already have one of these, but couldn't resist this (hopefully) better copy. And at a cheaper price than my original. Yowza! I'm a sucker for 3D and this is not only in 3D, but also in something called SEXURROUND. Zowie! No, I have NOT seen it. But I dig the poster.



And that is all for this time. Thanks for visiting.



Cheers!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #13

Hello. Here we are again. There’s nothing new to see here. Every poster is either VHS-era garbage or something you’ve seen before. There is one outlier that doesn’t seem to belong, but it’s one that I’ve been looking for forever. Even though I wasn’t actively looking for it when I finally got it. Huh? Never mind. Let’s just take a look and see what we have today… CURSE III: BLOOD SACRIFICE (video) :  I don’t know what I was thinking when I decided to track down the posters for THE CURSE series . For those who have never seen it or heard of it, THE CURSE series is a mostly direct-to-video series of horror flick that are NOT related to each other at all, except by title. I have the theatrical (I think) one sheet for the original movie. I’m not sure if I have a copy of the part two poster or not, and I may have copies of parts three and four already… Or not. I am not sure. But here is the poster for CURSE III: BLOOD SACRIFICE. Yes, as you can, guess, it was cheap. Did I see the movie...

  Hi there. Yes, I’m back again. Really, I was in a weird, crazed buying frenzy recently. I have enough posters for at least one and a half more posts… But I’ll try to pace myself and hold back a bit. These aren’t that exciting. Actually, neither is the next batch. The batch after that has one or two things I’m especially excited about, but we’ll have to see what trickles in to fill the rest of that post up. But I’m getting ahead of myself. We are on this post. Let’s take a gander at it,  shall we? I hope it won’t be too disappointing. Perhaps there’ll be a poster on here or two that you haven’t seen before. THE QUIET EARTH: While I think I’ve heard of this movie before, and I think I may have seen this poster before, I’m not quite sure. If I have seen this poster before, I don’t think I actually owned it. Like my last post, this has a few posters that were part of several lots. No, I am not posting all of the posters in the lots. Not all of them appealed to me. This one, thou...

  And welcome back… With this post, I am hopefully wrapping up all the posters I purchased in my recent mania. ( Actually, as I write this, there are still a few auctions out there. I have bids on that haven’t closed. While I doubt I’ll get anything, there’s always the worry that I will and that those purchases will spill over into another post. Eek!) As per my (sometimes) usual, I’ve got a lot of trash and a few treasures. I also have a very bad headache. So let’s get on with it already… VAN HELSING : This must’ve been a lot purchase. Although it’s based on a character. DRACULA , I had absolutely zero interest in seeing this movie. Zero. TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD (French) : I have long been a fan of the BLIND DEAD films . To my knowledge, only three of the four were released in the US and have one sheets. The first one, TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD , was released as just THE BLIND DEAD with a misleading poster image making it seem like a knockoff of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD .   RETUR...
