Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 56

November 08, 2015, 10:14:37 PM

Hi!  I'm B-A-C-K again and OH NOOOOOOooooo!  I did it to myself again. Today was the big finale to the Halloween auction on emovie AND another Heritage auction. I bid big before leaving for work and when I get back....oh no. What did I do to myself? Ouch. Needless to say I was NOT outbid on much. There are still two things waiting for the final gavel to strike on Heritage and I HOPE I get outbid. Argh! (They should be done by the time I finish this posting...so I'll let you know. Fingers crossed I lose them--I "won" far too much already. Crap-o-rama ding-dong!)

Okay, last time I poster posted, I said I had some things obtained from our fellow poster posting peeps out there in APF land. Zowie!


SLEEPWALKERS:

The first item I'd like to call your attention to comes from Jeff/erik1925! He PMed me and wanted to know if I'd like to buy a subway poster. He recently got a SLEEPWALKERS subway and got a 2nd one as well. He offered me a good price for it and--SOLD! This is my first subway! I do NOT have the room to take a photo of it, so I'm using a picture of one found online--it's a pretty awful picture though. See Jeff's post about his in the October new additions link--to give you an idea of what I have. AWESOMENESS!  It's HUGE. THANK YOU JEFF!



Next, I have proof that Ari, the wonder down under, has truly lost his mind and is completely insane...or is the most amazingly nice guy you could ever hope to meet. Ari approached me a while back. He told me about his website where he sells various types of posters among other things. He had previously sent me a super surprise package as a sort of universal offering to nurses everywhere--which was so cool--and the stuff I ordered from his was super cool too. (Both the gift and the ordered posters have already been posted. Scroll back a bit to see them). Ari kept threatening to include some extra goodies with my order. After the incredibly generous surprise package, there was no way I was going to accept anything extra...and I flat out told him NO EXTRA GOODIES. The packages (one flat, one rolled) arrived and they were filled with bonus surprises! Oh my stars! Ari--you crazy wonderful guy--you are going to give all of your stock away! I only ordered a handful of items--just 3 or 4--and he sent 8 (EIGHT!!!) bonus goodies along! Oh my STARS!!!!! Here they are:

NAKED TO HELL:

I know NOTHING about this title (or a lot of the titles that Ari sent), so I'll have to do some research very soon. The poster almost looks like something from Harry Novak's Box Office International, maybe? I can't find the title on IMDB.



HELL'S CREATURES:

Clearly a Paul Naschy wolfman flick. I'm guessing this one is what was released here as FRANKENSTEIN'S BLOODY TERROR perhaps? What "size" is that, Ari? Very cool horror image Naschy--and in gruesome green!  Spooky groovy!





COSI DOLCE... COSI PERVERSA (aka SO SWEET... SO PERVERSE):

This is an Umberto Lenzi giallo from long before he made CANNIBAL FEROX. I've never seen it, but those Italian giallos are often weirdly good. It's been on my list to see and now I have the locandia (sp?) to egg me on! Ha!



A TRANSYLVANIAN WEREWOLF IN AMERICA (aka FULL MOON HIGH):

Oh my stars! Ari, I just remembered. I was originally going to buy this poster--as I was curious about it (very clever rip-off title from AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON). When you told me it was actually FULL MOON HIGH, i changed my mind and got something else. Thank you--but I KNOW this was on your site as being for sale. Oh Ari! You ARE losing money by being so super duper nice. Never saw this--but this poster kind of makes me want to. Hmm. (I still like this rip-off title better than FULL MOON HIGH). Anyway, this film stars Adam Arkin--and if that's him on the center of the poster, he does look a little like a chubby version of David "An American Werewolf in London" Naughton, I guess. Look at the rest of the cast--Ha! Ed (Johnny Carson's TONIGHT SHOW sidekick) McMahon? Kenneth (WHAT'S UP DOC?/YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN) Mars? Demond (Lamont from SANFORD AND SON) Wilson? JM (Monroe from TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT) Bullock? ROZ (Pinky Tuscadero) KELLY? Ha!





NIKOS THE IMPALER:

How did I miss this flick? It stars Felissa ("Sleepaway Camp") Rose, Lloyd (Troma) Kaufman, and Debbie Rochon. Aside from that, I know nothing about it. Hmm.



DIE NONNE VON MONZA:

Another flick I'll need to investigate. Apparently THE LADY OF MONZA is an early nunsploitation flick. Hmm. Could be cool... I'll have to check it out.



DEAD AND BURIED (Thai):

Oh my stars! I have almost purchased this poster several times since discovering Thai. Zowie--the Thai DEAD & BURIED. I'm not so sure about now, but back in the 80s and 90s Fresno was sometimes used as a test market for movies. DEAD & BURIED was tested here with an alternate (and ultimately unused) title, "LOOK ALIVE". I have the film on DVD, but have never seen it yet. I may also have the poster (I wonder if one exists with the alternate, tested title?)--but the Thai poster is just that much more WOW-y with the extras that have been added to it. Jeepers! How cool.



ERASERHEAD promo mask:

I have wanted one of these for the longest time. Never got around to getting one--until now. Yowza! I'll probably never track down an ERASERHEAD poster, but these cool promo masks (given out to promote ERASERHEAD playing midnight shows) is the next best thing. Kowabunga! It sings to me--like the lady in the radiator! :-)



[ Auction update!  OOoooo!  Yes!  I've been outbid on one of the two items. One left to go. Fingers crossed I do NOT get it. ]

HERCULES, SAMSON AND ULYSSES:

My final poster tonight is for another old Hercules flick from the 60s, "HERCULES, SAMSON AND ULYSSES". I have another copy of this--but it's rather rough. I haven't seen this flick (or have I?). That's okay--just a habit picking up old Herc posters when i see them.


Okay--that's 10 new listings and... I was outbid on that 2nd item too! Yahoo! (Of course--there's all of the things I DID win on eMovie and Heritage tonight I'll have to pay for. UGH! I'll post those and others once the dust clears. GEEZ! How do I constantly do this to myself?)

Thank you Jeff and and especially Ari (shame on you--you were not supposed to send anything else! GRR!) for feeding my addiction further. Ha!

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...
