The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2018 Post #2

Hi there! Jeepers! I can't believe it is February already. What happened to January? Geez! Anyway, it's time for another post. Unlike the last two or three years which have been pretty awesome for me, 2018 is shaping up to be a pretty mediocre poster year. But really, right now I do not have a lot of time (or money) for the hobby. Whatever. Here are the latest acquisitions:


HAPPY DEATH DAY (Advance):

I sooooo did NOT need this. I never bothered to see the movie. But this was super cheap and an easy way to get a new poster fix. Whatever...

MAN WHO WALKED THROUGH THE WALL:

This is a god-awful ugly poster. It looks like a crappy movie. Why did I buy this? Well, some 'lurker" on here stumbled on this and sent me a message about it. He thought I might want/need it. Not that the poster was in anyway attractive (it's soooo NOT), but he thought I might appreciate two other aspects about it. Can you guess which? The first (and most obvious) is the verbiage. "WOWIE! ZOWIE!" I say that all of the time. The other thing was that it is a "Shawn International Release," (Shawn is my ---gasp!--real name).  It was only $6. Why not? Thank you, Lurker Matt!

SKY RIDERS:

The commercials on TV for this looked so cool. I wanted to see it badly back then as a kid back in 1976. This poster came up for bid and I went for it. I was the only bidder...not surprising since it is a movie no one remembers (or seems to). I still have NOT seen it...but I am pretty sure I've purchased several copies of this poster over the years. Ha!

JIGSAW:

Nothing I needed, but I dig the poster...sort of. JIGSAW? What is this, SAW 7 or so? I DID see the movie. Hmmm. It was a SAW movie. Nothing great. Not the worst sequel ever, but certainly not original either. The poster is creepy though. Cool.

THE NEBRASKAN (3D):

I love a gimmick...especially vintage 1950s 3D. I couldn't pass this one up.

SKYFALL (International):

I paid way too much for this poster, but I like it over the other two US versions I already have. Love my James Bond. Did I need this? No...but...

BEYOND THE DOOR (Italian 2F):

Some may say this poster is not that fab. Others would say the movie itself is not all that fab. "Beyond the Door" is a guilty pleasure of mine. I really dig it. Yes, it's a combo rip-off of "The Exorcist" and "Rosemary's Baby"...but it was filmed in San Francisco/Sausalito, which I know well. And there are some shots of the city before the 1989 earthquake---like the freeway that was on the Embarcadero (that is now gone). Plus it has Juliet ("Nanny and the Professor") Mills and Richard ("The Haunting"/"Zombie") Johnson. Zowie! I've been trying to steer myself away from foreign posters again---back to my US one sheets...but I have been looking for one of these for several years. Snagged! FINALLY!

PSYCHO A GOGO:

Although I have yet to see the movie, I have long wanted my "cousin" poster for the name alone.  Having the phrases "Murder to a Wild Watusi Beat" and "featuring...the Go-Go-Girls" makes it that much more fun. Go! Go! GO!!!

WEREWOLF IN A GIRLS' DORMITORY:

You gotta love the old drive-in B horrors. Whoo hoo! How fun...but does the poster (gasp!) give too much away?

THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (Re-release):

I have the one sheet for the other half of the "Phantom Monster Show" re-release double feature, "Son of Frankenstein" (which looks very much like this poster with the son laying in the place of the bride). I'd have much rather had the yellow version with BOTH films advertised...and there was one available not so long ago, but another collector asked me NOT to bid---so I didn't. (Another will come up or perhaps not. No big deal.) This one came up and I got it. It's in rougher shape than it looks here, but...  I'm still delighted with this. Any Universal horror is a great thing to obtain (even the re-release stuff). I have so very little of it.

Okay kids. That is all for today. Thank you for visiting and taking a look.

CHEERS!
