The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2017 #10 -- Movie poster update*#



Greetings! I know I JUST posted a short time ago, but I'm b-a-c-k. Not with anything groovy or exciting (Hmmm.), but they are posters just the same.

Let's take a look:

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 3D:

I already have a copy or two of this poster. This was cheap--like under $4---so why not a spare to resell down the road a bit?





THE SWINGING CHEERLEADERS:

I have a few of the "cheerleader"/"pom-pom girls" sexploitation titles from the 70s. Actually, I am thinking this may be the movie that features a young David Hasselhoff in it. Ha! This poster has some visible flaws. It was from a "lot" I got a while back.




DR. SYN (ALIAS THE SCARECROW):

A Disney live-action re-release poster. I saw this as a kid---BORING! Another "lot" item.





BABY THE RAIN MUST FALL:

Steve McQueen? Lee Remick? Don Murray? Wow! Too bad the poster is kind of rough. Another lot purchase.





 SMASHING TIME:

Two girls go stark mod! Oh my stars! I saw this in the VHS era and was disappointed. It looks like it had all sorts of potential, but it just went nowhere. Oh well. A lot purchase.





NORMAN...IS THAT YOU?

I never saw this flick, but remember it advertising in the 70s. With Redd Foxx, who was on "Sanford and Son" at the time---or maybe just off of it---it was bound to be hysterically funny. Another of the lot titles.




MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE:

Stephen King's directorial debut...and swan song. FLOP! Starring Mrs. Donald Trump #2 (Marla Maples) and a cool looking gremlin truck. Lots of potential again...but it fell short. Another lot title.




SCALPS:

I have a couple of copies of this poster. It's a poster no one wants, but I dig it. This artist (who is he?) did a lot of other great cheesy art for 21st Century Releasing. 




THE LOST WORLD OF SINBAD:

This is NOT a Sinbad movie. It's a Japanese fairy tale that had been sold to American international, redubbed and was transformed into a Sinbad flick to cash in on the popularity of "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad". I already had this poster (maybe 2 or 3 copies). I do wish I could see the flick too. 




LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS:

Feed me! It's the one sheet for the killer plant musical remake of the Roger Corman cheap-o classic. Yikes!




That was it. Nothing special, as I said. But thank you for taking a look anyway.



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...
