Monster A GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show

December 22, 2015, 01:26:21 PM Hi there. This is it...the last FULL post of 10 posters. I have enough after this for one last partial post (unless I pick up a few more between now and whenever I post the last post for the year---before I cut back to monthly updates.only.  EEK! Let's see. What do I have this time: THE VENGEANCE OF DR MABUSE (Spanish): I really dig the art on this. it's really the only reason i bought it. It turns out that it's a Jano poster. Also note that it was produced by our own Rosa's film company. (Hee hee). I know virtually nothing about this flick, other than it's another early Jess Franco and that it utilizes the Dr, Mabuse character that had been around for a while before this flick. THE HOUSE THE SCREAMED (Italian): Another poster i had no idea what it was, but I picked it up for the art. Nice work. The film itself has a nice atmosphere, but the scares are not there by today's standards. But the ending was totally...

December 31, 2015, 12:04:05 PM  Okay, here it is the LAST day of the year and this is my LAST post on my thread (I may visit some of the other threads before the day is out...) before my self-imposed absence from APF starts. As I've been saying, I am leaving because--since joining--movie posters have consumed all of my energy (and wallet)--especially towards the end of the year. I maxed out my credit cards buying posters because I knew I was going to sell my house. After selling the house and paying off the cards, here I am spending my meager profits on the house (which I still need to pay taxes on--eeek!), because I am only giving myself until the end of the year to shop without guidelines. Starting at midnight tonight, I really need to stop being so poster happy and buying nearly everything I see that amuses me. NO. I need to focus on my bucket list of "possible dreams" (I won't even attempt the impossible ones...like any original Universal posters...) and SAVE $...

December 31, 2015, 01:29:23 AM Hi there. Here is another batch of recent posters---all nice, but things I really could have lived without (well, the last three I may have "needed". Hmm.) Yikes!  I am running out of days. I'll need to post a few more tomorrow along with my plans for 2016. Okay--here are the posters: ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS: Did I need this? No. But I am reasonably sure I have all of the Mel Brooks posters from BLAZING SADDLES or YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (whichever came first) onward. I don't have anything before then (i.e. THE PRODUCERS) though. I probably have this already, but just to be sure...    And why did I feel the need to be a Mel Brooks completest suddenly? Hmm... MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.: I know this was a big box office dud...but I heard it was good (?), I kind of want to see it and the stark red and blue hues in the poster really grabbed my attention. RETURN TO HORROR HIGH: I remember going to see this in the theate...

December 29, 2015, 12:23:26 AM Hi there. I wasn't planning on any more posts...but auctions happened and I won. Argh!  This is the main reason i am imposing strict buying rules on myself in the coming year. I just spend too much money. All last fall, i knew I was going to sell my house---so I charged posters left and right, as I planned on paying off my credit cards when i did sell the house. I sold the house, paid off the cards...and still keep buying like crazy with the profits from the sale. I don't want to poop all of the money away, so i MUST stop my spending by slapping rules on myself. Jeepers!  I mean all of the posters below are nice (well...), but I certainly did NOT "need" any of them....and there is at least another full postings worth of posters left to share! ARGH! Okay--here are ten new posters I really could have lived without: LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS: THE OWLS OF GA'HOOLE: I actually wanted to see this (sort of) when it came out. No human...

December 23, 2015, 11:56:30 AM Okay---this could be it. This could be the LAST Shock-a-rama poster show of the year. There are auctions Thursday (but I work), Sunday, and in to next week. If I get something, I suppose I can do another quick post---or wait until my once-a-month posts in 2016. Okay--here are the last of the posters (unless I get a few more). There are only 9 of them, instead of the full 10 I usually do.  These first three are not all that spectacular---certainly not climax-worthy---but I got them last night...and they're not too shabby. I dig them anyway. Two were on emovie, the other was just something I picked up. I totally forgot about the emovie auction until near the very end. Dang!  oh well...I guess I saved some money? Ha! TERROR aka DELIRIUM HOUSE (Italian) : Like the others I got in the last few postings, I just picked this up as it was inexpensive and interesting. I had no idea what DELIRIUM HOUSE could be---and it took a while before I tra...

Welcome back to another thrilling, chilling and totally lack-luster (snore...) edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show!  Don't get too comfortable. You won't be here too long. There's not much to see.  I'm trying to NOT buy anything major as I am saving (Ha!) for a proposed trip to Europe next spring. I also have less and less time to shop. So--this edition is strictly BARGAIN BASEMENT offerings.  Let's begin, shall we?  THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK: Why the hell did I buy THIS!?! I am asking myself the same thing. NOT because of the title, but because of the annoying censor mark in the upper right hand corner I didn't see (I had to bid on my phone as I was in Washington visiting family at the time). GRRR! I HATE that---but it's too late now. Censor stamp aside, I bought this because--although I've never seen the flick--I played Otto Frank (Anne's father) in a high school production of this. Since then, the Anne Frank story has always...
