Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 52

October 23, 2015, 07:55:14 AM 

I can't sleep. Got 2-3 hours of sleep. Woke up. Tossed and turned for an hour before just getting up (at 4 a.m.--ugh!). Thought I'd throw up another poster post---one of the lamest of recent memory (yes, even worse than the last lackluster two posts).

These posters are so dull, maybe they'll put me to sleep again.


Let's see...

DOLLY DEAREST:

Ah, yes... the female CHUCKY wannabe.  I never saw this, but maybe want to? I'm sure it's trash, but the poster makes it look like fun trash.



THE MAN WHO DIED TWICE: 

I have no idea what this--but it was cheap. Looks like a noir perhaps? The allure for me? The gimmick that it boasts it's in NATURAMA!  What the heck is that? Ooooo.





THE SHAGGY DOG:

This is a 74 re-release. Nothing special---part of a lot (actually, the bulk of this listing is part of the same lot. Snore!). I never saw this film but probably should. It's a Disney classic, right? Hmm.)






DREAMSCAPE: 

Another lot poster. The poster is interesting and the movie should have been far more interesting than it was. A total misfire. Oh well.





LOST IN SPACE:  

Lot poster--at least it's the cast photo version instead of the stupid poster with the giant LS initials. Another movie that should have been a lot better than it was.



OMEGA SYNDROME: 

I have no idea what this is--but the art on the poster made me laugh---clearly NOT the intention. Probably a piece of crap movie. Another lot poster.





KULL THE CONQUEROR (remake):

 They remade this? I missed it--and that was probably a good thing. Kevin Sorbo, TV's HERCULES, in a swashbuckling sword & sandal adventure film (on another planet---or just some enchanted other time?). The ad makes it look more like a CONAN movie, which might appeal to his unsuspecting HERCULES fans. Did this get any hype at all? I remember seeing the original in the theater back in the 80s. Hmm. Another lot poster...



MANDINGO: 

Last of the lot posters--I already have this, but... Here is Dino DeLaurentis' sleazy and cheesy and politically incorrect shocker "MANDINGO". I doubt this could get made today. Zowie!



THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER:  

The photo below is just an example--not the real poster (which is nicer, but has a big watermark on it). This is another of my kiddie matinee posters (Childhood Productions). I may have this one already--but I don't think so, which is why I bought it.  Geez! I bet this flick was a stinker. The poor, poor kids who were forced to suffer through this. Ha!



HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS: 

Last one for this morning (hopefully I can catch some more sleep...). I've never seen this but heard it's just awful. The title is a hoot though. Stumbled on this and decided to not let it get away. They charge an arm and a leg! Ha!



Hope you are sleeping peacefully.

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...
