Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 76

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 ripped off by a popular grindhouse flick years later.





SHOCK aka BEYOND THE DOOR 2 (Italian):

Mario Bava's last flick. It's interesting, but not necessarily his best work. I have the BEYOND THE DOOR 2 one sheet, but I really wish they'd made a poster of the ad slick instead of what they ended up using for the one sheet. This original Italian poster has a nice creepy yet mysterious dread to it I dig it...





 GAPPA (Italian):

GIANT MONSTER FLICK!!!  Need I say more? Ha! Pretty groovy poster too..  This cost me $11. Bargains-a-go-go always welcome at Christmas time!!! Thank you Santa!






 FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN:


I've never really seen the Hammer FRANKENSTEIN series. I have seen the DRACULA films and some other stuff---but not the FRANKENSTEINS. I saw this and bid...and left it to chance. I won surprisingly.,





 OLGA'S HOUSE OF SHAME:


My stars. The OLGA series has been a big part of my poster year. There's the whole ordeal of the THREE copies of the first poster in the series, WHITE SLAVES OF CHINATOWN. I also picked up poster #4 in the series, MME. OLGA'S MASSAGE PARLOR. I already had a copy of this, my favorite title and poster in the series, OLGA'S HOUSE OF SHAME, but my copy had a corner all but torn off. I needed a new copy. The one shown is not the new one, but my new copy is in fab-o-rama shape...NM!  Whoo hoo!  Now I just need OLGA'S GIRLS (and maybe--but I might already have it--OLGA'S DANCE HALL GIRLS...which is the last film of the series, but also my favorite.).





HERCULES:


Believe it or not, this was a bucket list title---the 1959 Steve reeves HERCULES poster, the movie that started the whole crazy peplum genre. The films have all but been forgotten today---and the video copies available are pretty awful, but some of the better films of the genre are a real treat to watch (others are real snore-inducers).  Finally though--the first HERCULES one sheet!  Yahoo.,






 ZOMBIES OF MORA TAU:


I have never seen this flick and know nothing about it, but have seen this 50s (?) poster swim into my sphere of vision a few times---and have been curious. Early zombie movies are always interesting (but not always good). Love the vintage look of the poster (well, it IS vintage. Ha!) How groovy ghoulie wonderful!





 NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST:


EEEK!  Here's is another wild and fab drive-in horror flick poster. No, I have not seen this either (for such a movie addict, how do I NOT see so many movies?), but I'd have been to the theater opening week for sure with this blood-drenched poster luring me in!  Yowza!!!






 EATEN ALIVE (British quad):


Wow!  Look at this cool quad. I love the shocking art work and the way they convey the action seemingly coming off of the screen. Unfortunately the artwork is rather tame--relying on the title to supply the real horror...but it's still nifty. This is not my actual poster--but a great example to share.  Not the best cannibal movie ever made--but a mighty tasty quad to be sure. Yum!





And that's today's post. As it stands, as I write this, I only have 6 more posters left to share.  (Of course, there's an auction tonight, and Thursday,,,and Sunday there are several! Ha!) Let's see what happens.

Merry Christmas! I hope Santa is good to you and you get that FRANKENSTEIN 6-sheet poster you've been dreaming about. Ha!

(Speaking of Christmas, I've got to go and be one of those crazy people who are doing things at the last minute... UGH!)

CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #12

  Hi there. Yes, I’m back again. Really, I was in a weird, crazed buying frenzy recently. I have enough posters for at least one and a half more posts… But I’ll try to pace myself and hold back a bit. These aren’t that exciting. Actually, neither is the next batch. The batch after that has one or two things I’m especially excited about, but we’ll have to see what trickles in to fill the rest of that post up. But I’m getting ahead of myself. We are on this post. Let’s take a gander at it,  shall we? I hope it won’t be too disappointing. Perhaps there’ll be a poster on here or two that you haven’t seen before. THE QUIET EARTH: While I think I’ve heard of this movie before, and I think I may have seen this poster before, I’m not quite sure. If I have seen this poster before, I don’t think I actually owned it. Like my last post, this has a few posters that were part of several lots. No, I am not posting all of the posters in the lots. Not all of them appealed to me. This one, thou...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #13

Hello. Here we are again. There’s nothing new to see here. Every poster is either VHS-era garbage or something you’ve seen before. There is one outlier that doesn’t seem to belong, but it’s one that I’ve been looking for forever. Even though I wasn’t actively looking for it when I finally got it. Huh? Never mind. Let’s just take a look and see what we have today… CURSE III: BLOOD SACRIFICE (video) :  I don’t know what I was thinking when I decided to track down the posters for THE CURSE series . For those who have never seen it or heard of it, THE CURSE series is a mostly direct-to-video series of horror flick that are NOT related to each other at all, except by title. I have the theatrical (I think) one sheet for the original movie. I’m not sure if I have a copy of the part two poster or not, and I may have copies of parts three and four already… Or not. I am not sure. But here is the poster for CURSE III: BLOOD SACRIFICE. Yes, as you can, guess, it was cheap. Did I see the movie...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #11

Welcome back. Now that the James Bond stuff is out of the way (see my last post), I can trudge to some B-movie stuff. A lot of this stuff came from lot purchases. I have a lot of these posters already, and have shared them in previous posts. Not all of the posters from the various lot purchases will be shared. Don’t panic. I’ve just decided to share these as a way to look back at these B-flicks and reflect on them a bit. THE MEPHISTO WALTZ: This was an early movie in the 70s satanic panic cycle, that was started with ROSEMARY’S BABY in the mid 60s. If you haven’t seen it, you’re not really missing much. What I do remember most from the commercials was a dog with a human head. Imagine my annoyance when it just turned out to be a dog with a mask on its head that someone placed on it as a joke. There was no “human headed” dog in the plot. Alan Alda I identify so much with being Hawkeye on M*A*S*H, that it’s hard to see him in this movie. At least for me, this is an instance where it’s har...
