Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 50

October 21, 2015, 10:23:04 PM


Well, here's another mixed bag of recent posters. Joy...

TRAPPED (Thai):

Never heard of this and the poster over all is kind of ho-hum...except for the one guy getting the axe to his head and his eyeball popping out. Zowie! That's gotta hurt. Those wonderful wacky Thais!





DAWN OF THE DEAD (Thai):

Another Thai...and purchased fairly (surprisingly) cheap. Hmm. That has me worried. We'll see what it's like when it finally arrives. If all is good, I'm super pumped to get this. Yowza!





SAVAGE WEEKEND:

I already have a copy of this, but this went pretty cheap, so... I snagged it. I've never seen the movie, but did recently buy it (just re-released on dvd and blu ray).I've heard it's crap though. Well see. Yet another early 80s slasher. It couldn't find a holiday to use so it generically went for just the WEEKEND (eeek!) to terrorize house guests. Ha! It's still a cool image--the masked guy holding the bloody sickle and doing the Uncle Sam "I Want You" pose. I had this framed and in my guest room (since most guests came on weekends. Ha!). Waaagh! I want to be in a house again. Maybe if I just stopped buying posters... Ha!





VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (Belgian):

I think I mentioned this elsewhere when I got the French version of this movie poster... La Vallee des Poupees sounds like it's about diarrhea! I'm sure most film critics of the day were calling this movie poopie---or something close to it. Ha! I am a huge VOD fan. It's awful/wonderful (especially Patty Duke--so over the top, especially after she gets "famous"! Ha!), so I couldn't resist.





MANIAC: 

I also already have this. But it was such a bargain...I just couldn't NOT get it. I stumbled upon it on some website of some guy who was selling posters. He had apparently had the site up for a long while and had priced the posters sometime back. Bargain! This is a much sought after piece for 80s horror gorehounds. Nice to have a spare for a rainy day.



TARZAN AND THE LOST CITY: 

You know by now I dig my Tarzan movies (or maybe I got all of my Tarzan posters before I joined APF?). While the oldest ones are beyond my reach, I have the bulk of the ones since Gordon Scott took over on up through the Bo Derek version. I kept putting this poster off--I'm not sure why. I saw this film in the theater (as i said, I like my Tarzan flicks), but had trouble with Caspar Van Dien in the role. I had the chance to meet him once. He was just a few feet away from me, but...eh. I didn't want to be bothered with the encounter. Now that many years have passed, I think I can revisit this film and give it another whirl. We'll see. Enough time has passed though where I feel comfortable getting the poster (finally). And isn't there a new Tarzan coming soon?





GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE:

Ugh...I told you this was a mixed bag today. Ha! When I was getting the TARZAN poster above, I saw this one as well. CHEAP. While NOT a TARZAN film, it certainly is Tarzan-esque (and clearly inspired by the mighty jungle swinger), so I got it. Eh. (I don't even know/remember if I ever even bothered seeing the movie or not).





SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE 3:

Funny thing about this poster. I saw it and thought, I didn't even know there was a sequel to the original. I have the first poster. I'll get this one and then track down the 2nd one and then I'll have the whole series. Except the first one I THOUGHT I had was actually for SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE. Oops! Two different 80s slasher series--and I somehow never saw either of them. Oh well.





THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW (lenticular):

Another poster I already had...but again found it at an amazingly cheap price. SOLD!






MY BLOODY VALENTINE (English):

Last one for tonight, this is the English one sheet for the early 80s (1981?) holiday slasher MY BLOODY VALENTINE. It has very different art work than the US one sheet. I had seen this image before and always wondered where it was used. Now I know. Except why does it look like they are in a subway tunnel instead of a mine shaft?





And that's posters for today.

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...
