Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 67

December 03, 2015, 07:22:16 PM

Okay...here's another batch ( a rather hodge-podge-y batch):


THE GREEN SLIME (Spanish):

I have/love the US one sheet (had a stained one for years...another of my earliest posters. Sold that off a while back and finally got a replacement this year). I stumbled on this Spanish version--which is completely different. it was cheap, so i snapped it up! 






THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN (French p e t i t e):


Cool monster art--sure is better than the US poster. Another bargain I couldn't pass up.






NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES (Spanish):

I had no idea what this was until I googled it a few minutes ago. I just liked the art. Very creative poster...for such a schlocky movie. I wonder if i had known what this poster was for if i would have bothered. Hmm.






THE LADY HAS BEEN RAPED (Italian):

I had no idea what this was when i picked it up either. I thought maybe it was some silly supernatural sex comedy (based on the devil guy's facial expression, OK finger gesture and obviously phallic tail. I really couldn't tell by the woman's expression if she were terrified or just surprised). OOPS!  I apologize if anyone is offended by it. It was only after getting it that it occurred to me to translate the title online. I googled the title as well. IMDB had virtually NO information about it. It was another cheap-O. I'm hoping there is something lost in the translation...especially since the tag line at the top reads: "A whirlwind of laughter and amusement."






THE HOWLING (Spanish):  

Very different poster art for this Spanish release. The face doesn't look like a werewolf, but then it doesn't really look like anything--just creepy.






THE HOWLING II (Italian): 

After finding the Spanish HOWLING above, i couldn't believe my luck when i stumbled on this cool Italian HOWLING 2 poster. The movie is crappy...and normally (because I didn't like the film), i'd pass on the poster.  The more i looked at it, the more i saw how cool it really is -- regardless of the movie it represents. (Just like my NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES poster above)  






SWAMP OF THE RAVENS (Spanish):

I actually saw this movie not too long ago. It wasn't great, but the DVD cover was cool. Lo and behold...the cover was the movie poster! I don't know if there is an English poster for this or not--I've never seen one. I know I saw one ofd these go at auction not too long ago. i was watching it---but stopped when it went higher than i was willing to pay for it (which wasn't much. Ha!). This one was also a cheap-o.  Although the artwork is kind of primitive, i dig it--the woman wading through the swamp filled with corpses and body parts while the ravens caw away from above.






CRASH OF FLIGHT 401 (Spanish):

This is yet another case of a US TV movie getting theatrical play overseas. Ha! This movie is based on a true story about a flight that crashed in the swamps in Florida just after takeoff. I wish it would be released on DVD. I like my disaster flicks. I'm just sorry this is based on a real incident. 






CRASH OF FLIGHT 401 (aka S.O.S. MIAMI AIRPORT) (Italian):

Here is the same movie as above...yet the Italian version saddled with a different  title (in English!), "S.O.S. Miami Airport"!  of the two, i think i like this poster better. 






RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (Thai):

Here's my fave-o-rite poster o' the bunch...the awesome Thai version of "RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD"!   Oooo I needed one of these.  Just gorgeous!





Okay--that's enough for now. I'm hungry and freezing (remember--I have NO HEAT!  Brrr...)

Have a groovy rest of the day.


CHEERS!
