I'm back...a little earlier than I wanted to be, but that was because of the visit to the Kirk Hammett CLASSIC MONSTERS exhibit ( http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/board,67.0.html then see both "Looking for interviews for a movie poster book" and the "Metallica's Kirk Hammett on movie posters..."). So, I think I'll just do a quick poster post and then continue on with my hiatus.
Here are 10 new ones (all nothing exciting...except for the last one, maybe...):
MONSTER A GO-GO:
Hey! "Monster A Go-Go"? Where have I heard THAT name before? Hmm... I already have a copy of this (I think I've posted a photo of me holding my other copy in a frame when i first got it), but that one had a title stamp on the back that bled through. It was okay--but had always bothered me. When I saw this one come up I went for it...but not too aggressively...and GOT it. Yahoo!
DAWN OF THE DEAD (Thai):
I already have this one...but i just could NOT let it go as cheaply as it was being sold for. I hate that I do that...especially since money does not grow on trees...but...now i have 2 copies.
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (Thai):
The story that applies to DAWN OF THE DEAD above, goes for this NIGHTMARE poster as well. This one though may be earmarked for a friend for Christmas. We'll see...
HORROR OF THE JUNGLE (A COMPANY OF WOLVES?) (Thai):
This one is apparently (in English) called HORROR OF THE JUNGLE. But the graphics make it look like it might really be the cool (and somewhat forgotten) 80s werewolf flick A COMPANY OF WOLVES. Hmm. I have no idea, but it was cheap enough so I took a chance...
SNOW WHITE (Re-release):
I probably already have this, but it was cheap... Why not?
SLEEPING BEAUTY (Re-release):
Believe it or not, this is the very first paper I have on SLEEPING BEAUTY. I've tried for years to get something--always thwarted. This is probably my least favorite poster for the film, but you have to start somewhere... I do find it interesting though that of all of the characters on the poster, the one who appears in the movie the least--Prince Phillip--is featured twice on it while everyone else only gets one shot. Ha!
SOME LIKE IT HOT (Re-release):
I'll never be able to get a first release for this film... I am reasonably sure i already have this 80s re-release poster, but got it just in case I don't. Love this movie!
ANIMAL HOUSE:
I never really wanted this poster and always thought the movie was just okay--not the brilliant comic classic it has a reputation for. An acquaintance asked me about getting one of these years ago. I told him what to watch out for (fakes) and gave him places to shop for one. I never knew if he ended up scoring one or not...but it somehow put the poster on my radar. After haphazardly trying to get one for years and years, i finally did.
THE HILLS HAVE EYES:
I also already have one of these, but its in a tad rougher condition than I am happy with. This one came along and I got it. Whoo hoo!
SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS:
This last one is really the only one i am excited about. It was actually on my bucket/"possible dreams" list. Ooooo SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS!!! If you've never seen it, YES it IS a real movie. It's god-awful, but awesome at the same time. I totally dig the cheesy, zippy little theme song ("Hooray for Santa Claus"). Little Pia Zadora is the little girl Martian in the upper right (below the martian with his arms curved up). WOW! And just in time for the holiday season. Ho ho ho!!!!
Okay--tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Have a groovy holiday everyone. I'm back on my hiatus until around the 1st.
CHEERS!!!!
