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 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

  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
