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 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...
