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 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

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #8

  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
