Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 51*#

October 22, 2015, 06:17:27 PM 

I'm B-A-C-K!

Here is yet another mixed bag of new acquisitions...eh. It's almost not even worth posting, but...  Here we go anyway!


THE OMEN (Turkish):

Oooooo. I just got the Turkish "DAMIEN: OMEN II", but what I really wanted was the original Turkish "Omen". It's so much more interesting than the US. It kind of reminds me of the Thai posters (I wonder if there was a Thai poster for "The Omen"? Hmm.) Well, tuh-DUH!!!! I finally HAVE the Turkish poster for "THE OMEN"!  Yippie!  (Now I wonder what the Turkish "Omen III" is like. I've never seen one of those. Probably not nearly as interesting...)





THE NIGHT EVELYN CAME OUT OF THE GRAVE: 

I'm not 100% sure, but I could almost swear I saw this movie on one of those  crappy/cheap-O 10 (or 25 or 50) movies for $5 DVD sets. If I did see it, it was not that memorable. I don't recall it at all. But I have long thought the poster was creepy enough with the skull-faced woman holding a decapitated head. The worms are waiting...





THE SADIST:  

I already have one of these, but I saw this one going cheap and I just couldn't let that happen. So I snatched it up. This is a weird little low budget flick--kind of laugh out loud unintentionally funny with D-list (Z-list?) star Arch Hall Jr in the lead. I do dig the poster too.






STONE COLD DEAD: 

I never saw this flick, but I do remember when it played in theaters. I was about in the 8th grade and I really wanted to go based on the commercials and the ads in the paper (smaller versions of this one sheet). It's probably a crappy movie--and in the newspaper ads, you really couldn't tell that the body in the shower was of a young shapely woman. oh my! I've not bothered to chase down the film. The one sheet is enough of a reminder of those youthful days.





VOLCANO (teaser):

I like my disaster flicks--I do. The ones from the 70s were the best. I already have the "VOLCANO" one sheet, but this was a teaser. While I wasn't wild about the finished film, it was okay. The teaser was uber cheap--why not?






THE STEPFORD WIVES:

While I am reasonably sure I have one of these, it's always good to have a back up--and this one seemed to be in nice condition. This was a good little movie, kind of forgotten today (the horrible remake didn't help any). Anyone remember the three TV movie sequels? (REVENGE OF THE STEPFORD WIVES, THE STEPFORD CHILDREN, and THE STEPFORD HUSBANDS). Plus, this film featured Katherine Ross and Tina Louise and a great downer ending.






SERIAL MOM:  

Eh...John Waters' films aren't what they used to be. This is his first or second (when did "CRY BABY" come out again--was that right after "Hairspray" or after this?) post-Divine films. I have this poster already, but this was cheap--and John Waters. Not the best of his films--by far--but not the worst.






DEAD SPACE: 

I've never heard of "DEAD SPACE", but I imagine it's gotta be crap (Or I probably would have at least heard of it by now). But when I first saw the poster for this apparently wannabe "ALIEN"rip-off, I laughed. The man in the monster costume, for some reason, reminded me of "Far Out Space Nuts", a really dumb 70s TV show with Bob "Gilligan's Island" Denver lost in a space capsule and encountering different Saturday morning TV monster/aliens each week. I don't know why that popped in my head, but it did. Space trash...






MAME:  

Speaking of trash, I LOVE my bad movies. But there are some movies I can NOT bring myself to watch. Like the idea of Burt Reynolds singing and dancing has kept me from watching the horror that is "AT LONG LAST LOVE" or Sylvester Stallone's crooning in "RHINESTONE", Lucille Ball's voice has kept me from witnessing the multi-million dollar disaster that is "MAME".  Eek! I do have it on DVD---just have not been delirious enough to pop it in and give it a watch yet. I've posted the trailer below, for those of you with strong stomachs (WARNING: You could possibly be MAMEd for life!). And, yes, I did buy the poster. Cheap.

THE INCREDIBLE PETRIFIED WORLD: 

Who doesn't love those low budget drive-in flicks from the 50s and early 60s? Well--let me rephrase that (since this movie is a big stinkeroo), who doesn't like the POSTERS from the 50s and early 60s drive in flicks? This one didn't go nearly as high as I thought it might...and became mine. Yippie.






And that's another batch. Golly. I told you it was really a mixed batch...kind of bottom of the barrel, but there were a few gems in it.

Until next time,

CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #5

  And I'm back... This, I think, will be my final post of new posters. I had a few leftover posters from last time...and got others to fill out this post and get this done. I can't afford anything anymore and really, with my diminishing health, I should STOP collecting.  TANYA'S ISLAND: This was a cheap grab. I've never seen the movie, but have long wanted this poster. It's so doofy looking. This movie has been on my radar since its release--and it is amazingly hard to find. (As I said, I have NOT seen it yet.) From what I understand, it's basically KING KONG, but with a normal-sized ape (aka man in a bad moneky suit--based on the pictures I've seen) and a bit naughtier. (Hence the R-rating.) D.D. Winters is better known as Vanity, Prince's protegee back in the 80s. She apparently spends a good deal of the time naked. It's supposed to be bad. (No surprise.) I'd still like to see it. HOT DOG: THE MOVIE: I don't know why I bought this. I'm...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #4

  Hello. Welcome back. Today's offerings are...rather unexciting for the most part. As I've said many times before, my poster-buying power has been greatly diminished. I fear my post-buying days are wrapping up, too. The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show may be finally coming to a close in the near future. For now though, here's the latest of what I have to share with you today: KING FRAT: This was a fairly cheap poster--but supposedly rather rare? But really, it's not much to look at. I bought it because... I remember when this obscurity came out. Although I never saw it, it appeared to be some low-rent ANIMAL HOUSE wannabe. I was always curious... I bought it on disk (with THE CHEERING SECTION) on a clearance sale for old CODE RED products. (I guess that company went out of business?) I haven't watched it yet as I read the disk was taken directly from two very badly worn VHS sources. Oh well. I'll get to it someday. Maybe. The poster will go in a drawer. Whoopie... STA...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2021 #11

  Hi! Welcome to the 11th--and possibly LAST--- Shock-O-Rama Poster Show of the year --at least for several months. I'm busy packing for a move and up to my armpits in posters. (Details below.) UGH! I mean, I may buy more...but I don't have the time, money, and I want to be done with poster packing. Speaking of which, you may notice there is more than my usual 10 posters. Instead of holding back posters for some future posting (which may not be for months--if ever. My health issues keep rearing their ugly heads.), I'm posting everything I've gotten since last time. Take a peek or don't. I'm not feeling so well, which explains my rush to get this posted and the use of some online photos to illustrate today's posting. I'm going to go lay down. (Don't mind me...) Go ahead and take in the show: SHARKWATER EXTINCTION: I love the JAWS flicks, the rip-offs, and bad shark movies in general. This looks like it's probably a documentary--not a bad shark mov...
