The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2017 #8 -- More New Posters-A-GoGo, Baby!*#


Happy Thanksgiving. Welcome to the continuing poster update-a-gogo! Today I am thankful for, among other things, YOU dear reader (whoever you may be---if there's anyone out there at all) and poster collector's everywhere. 

Okay... Here is the latest batch o' posters in my collection. Did I need these? No. Did that stop me from buying them? No. Here they are...

INCEPTION:

I did see this in theaters, but I'm not one of those fanboy types that totally got in to this. It was interesting...but not my thing. Still, I got this (and the one below) at a good price from one of Rich's auctions a while back. Perhaps it will rise in value?






THE NARCOTIC STORY:

I already have a copy of this poster, but I love, love, LOVE it. It's such a hoot. It's so cheesy looking. This is one of those posters that really makes me WANT to track down the flick. It has to be a HOOT. Ha!




AMITYVILLE: THE AWAKENING:

Okay, so this is NOT a poster and obviously one of my infamous stupid impulse purchases. Virtually no one (including myself) has seen this latest AMITYVILLE movie. It was pulled from release and rescheduled several times over the last three or so years. It finally sees the light of day on DVD later this month or next month after playing a few cities overseas--but not here. It's probably crap. But when i saw these "screen used" props from the flick--including fake credit cards, a class schedule, and (the selling point for me) fake school emblem stickers, I placed a low-ball bid...and won. No one bid against me. And why would they? No one has seen the movie. Ha! Whatever--I got some props. Whoopie...




FANNY HILL MEETS DR. EROTICO:

Most of you would dismiss this as trash. I'm sure the movie probably is (I've never seen it).  But I am THRILLED to score this. I have been chasing the trio of Barry Mahon's "Fanny Hill Meets..." posters for ages. They seem to rarely pop up. I scored "Fanny Hill Meets Lady Chatterly" some time back. I still need "Fanny Hill Meets The Red Baron", but the one I wanted most of all was this one, "Fanny Hill Meets Dr. Erotico". Why? Because it looks (based on the poster) to me like a sexploitation "Frankenstein" knock off. And, if it is, my bet is the guy in the upper right-hand corner is said "Frankenstein"-like creature. "She was 19...He was 75, but together they created life!"  From the late '60's. I wish someone out there would release all three of these as a triple-feature DVD/blu-ray.



CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: THE FIRST EPIC MOVIE:

I see you shaking your head in wonder and disbelief. "Captain Underpants"? Really? Really. I have not seen the movie, but the reason I bought this was A) it was cheap ($3) and B) I read this book to my class at least once when i was a 4th grade teacher. It was a fun book. My students enjoyed it. Nostalgia...




THE NIGHT PORTER:

I have seen this film a couple of times. It's kind of nazisploitation-ish, but kind of not. Not a great poster, but for $3...




THE SERVANT:
I've not seen this flick, but it looks like it might be compelling. I've heard good things about Dirk Bogarde films, but have only seen one ("The Night Porter" above), I believe.  Again, only $3. Why not?





DAUGHTER OF DR JEKYLL:
Argh! I tuned into eMovie's last auction on Tuesday in progress. This was up. Oooooo. I bid and amazingly got it---for less than I expected to get it for. And then I read the description. OOPS! It is apparently an early 60s re-release. Darn it all! Still a swell looking poster though...





COLOR ME BLOOD RED:

Oh my stars! At LAST! The poster for H.G. Lewis' third film in his infamous Blood Trilogy, "COLOR ME BLOOD RED" is quite possibly the rarest/hardest to track down HG Lewis horror movie poster. I paid too much for this and it looks to be in fairly good (not great) condition---but FINALLY it is MINE! Whoo hoo!




THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN:

Zowie! This was a pricey and unexpected win. Whoever was bidding against me pooped out millimeters from my top bid. I kind of wish they HAD won (because I have to pay for this now somehow. EEK!). But how amazing (and colossal) that this poster is now MINE! Who hoo! It will make a great companion piece to my copy of the sequel poster "WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST". YIPPIE!!!




And that is that for this posting. Have a groovilicious Thanksgiving. Cha-cha-cha, kiddies!

CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #17

  Welcome back…  This post is one of the weakest entries of late. That is saying a lot, as the previous entry was pretty bad. However, the next entry will be even more pathetic than this one. I’m winding down from my recent purchases… Finally. I can’t afford anything. But let’s take a look at when I have this time, shall we? This will be quick. SURGIKILL (special) : I’m not sure what this is. It’s only 9 1/2 x 8 1/2“ long. It is some promotional piece for Andy Milligan’s “ SURGIKILL”.  “SURGI-What!?! You’ve never heard of it, probably.  I do not know why, but I am an anti-Milligan aficionado. SURGIKILL Was one of his last movies. It went straight to  video. I caught it on DVD. It’s OK… Certainly nothing to write home about. But I couldn’t not get this piece. It is allegedly from Andy Milligan‘s estate…And was cheap. POLTERGEIST I I: Normally, I wouldn’t bother with sequel posters. But this was part of a lot. So why not? The movie itself… Not so good. THE SATAN B...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #16

Welcome back. As I write this, the very tail end of my recent poster-buying mania is coming to a close. Well, I still have to worry about auctions on Thursday of this week, it looks like I only have to worry about one poster. Whether or not I get it remains to be seen. However, at the moment, there are two posters in this post. I have one from recent auctions. One of them, the one that I am most displeased with winning, is fairly obvious. The other one, not so much. The one I may or may not win on Thursday? I think that will be obvious as well by what I intend to write about it should I win it, but we shall see. Can you figure out which posters I want in these last auctions before coming to my senses? Of the 10 title shown here two (or three) of them are from those final crazed auctions. TEENAGE COWGIRLS: What the hell was I thinking? On the tail end of my weird cancer buying spree (inspired by my seemingly surviving it—-although I’m not out of the woods yet—while two longtime friends ...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #14

  And welcome back… With this post, I am hopefully wrapping up all the posters I purchased in my recent mania. ( Actually, as I write this, there are still a few auctions out there. I have bids on that haven’t closed. While I doubt I’ll get anything, there’s always the worry that I will and that those purchases will spill over into another post. Eek!) As per my (sometimes) usual, I’ve got a lot of trash and a few treasures. I also have a very bad headache. So let’s get on with it already… VAN HELSING : This must’ve been a lot purchase. Although it’s based on a character. DRACULA , I had absolutely zero interest in seeing this movie. Zero. TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD (French) : I have long been a fan of the BLIND DEAD films . To my knowledge, only three of the four were released in the US and have one sheets. The first one, TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD , was released as just THE BLIND DEAD with a misleading poster image making it seem like a knockoff of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD .   RETUR...
