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 #12

  Hi there. Yes, I’m back again. Really, I was in a weird, crazed buying frenzy recently. I have enough posters for at least one and a half more posts… But I’ll try to pace myself and hold back a bit. These aren’t that exciting. Actually, neither is the next batch. The batch after that has one or two things I’m especially excited about, but we’ll have to see what trickles in to fill the rest of that post up. But I’m getting ahead of myself. We are on this post. Let’s take a gander at it,  shall we? I hope it won’t be too disappointing. Perhaps there’ll be a poster on here or two that you haven’t seen before. THE QUIET EARTH: While I think I’ve heard of this movie before, and I think I may have seen this poster before, I’m not quite sure. If I have seen this poster before, I don’t think I actually owned it. Like my last post, this has a few posters that were part of several lots. No, I am not posting all of the posters in the lots. Not all of them appealed to me. This one, thou...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #13

Hello. Here we are again. There’s nothing new to see here. Every poster is either VHS-era garbage or something you’ve seen before. There is one outlier that doesn’t seem to belong, but it’s one that I’ve been looking for forever. Even though I wasn’t actively looking for it when I finally got it. Huh? Never mind. Let’s just take a look and see what we have today… CURSE III: BLOOD SACRIFICE (video) :  I don’t know what I was thinking when I decided to track down the posters for THE CURSE series . For those who have never seen it or heard of it, THE CURSE series is a mostly direct-to-video series of horror flick that are NOT related to each other at all, except by title. I have the theatrical (I think) one sheet for the original movie. I’m not sure if I have a copy of the part two poster or not, and I may have copies of parts three and four already… Or not. I am not sure. But here is the poster for CURSE III: BLOOD SACRIFICE. Yes, as you can, guess, it was cheap. Did I see the movie...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #11

Welcome back. Now that the James Bond stuff is out of the way (see my last post), I can trudge to some B-movie stuff. A lot of this stuff came from lot purchases. I have a lot of these posters already, and have shared them in previous posts. Not all of the posters from the various lot purchases will be shared. Don’t panic. I’ve just decided to share these as a way to look back at these B-flicks and reflect on them a bit. THE MEPHISTO WALTZ: This was an early movie in the 70s satanic panic cycle, that was started with ROSEMARY’S BABY in the mid 60s. If you haven’t seen it, you’re not really missing much. What I do remember most from the commercials was a dog with a human head. Imagine my annoyance when it just turned out to be a dog with a mask on its head that someone placed on it as a joke. There was no “human headed” dog in the plot. Alan Alda I identify so much with being Hawkeye on M*A*S*H, that it’s hard to see him in this movie. At least for me, this is an instance where it’s har...
