Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 74

December 16, 2015, 03:17:57 PM 

Post time. I have 10 more to share...then only enough for 2 more full posts after that (plus maybe a mini-post., I have slowed way down, but keep buying. You can't expect me to just go cold turkey, can you?)

And now, on to the Shock-A-Rama Poster Show!

HERCULES THE INVINCIBLE (Italian):

You know I love my Hercules movies... Clearly, this flick has come towards the end of the Sword & Sandal era.  They didn't even bother to commission an artist for the poster--just stuck some photos on and called it good.




MACISTE IN THE LAND OF THE CYCLOPS (Italian):

Another that I believe came towards the end of the genre's popularity. The poster is okay---but I am sure the lead actor's name is Gordon Mitchell...NOT Mitchell Gordon. Did they bother to fix it? Nope. Ha!





SAMSON AND HIS MIGHTY CHALLENGE (Italian):

This is brilliant on the part of the Italian filmmakers...getting the 4 mightiest heroes of the peplum genre together; Hercules, Samson, Maciste and Ursus. However, curiously, when it was imported to the US, only ONE of the four was highlighted (or mentioned) in the title--just SAMSON. Ha!





URSUS IN THE LAND OF FIRE (Italian):

Decent art on this poster---although the depiction of Ursus looks NOTHING like blonde star Ed Fury.





THE LOVES OF HERCULES (Italian):

This is the most curious poster of all... Not only is star Mickey Hargitay's first name misspelled (perhaps Micke is the Italian version of Mickey?), but the real star of the film, Jayne Mansfield (who plays two roles!) is NOT even mentioned! Yowza! I bet her agent was pissed.





DYNASTY (Italian):

Not a sword & sandal flick, but i am a sucker for 3D/gimmicks and couldn't NOT get this poster. Similar to the US version, but different artwork trying to convey the 3D effect in poster form. Cool.





THE HUMANOID (Italian):

I've never seen this sci-fi flick starring Richard "Jaws" Kiel, but scored the poster pretty darn cheap. I think i might need to track this flick down...





ALICE IN WONDERLAND (Italian):

Ha!  I was sort of stunned when i stumbled on this Italian poster for the adult version of ALICE IN WONDERLAND from the 1970s. Ha!  Even our cheesy, low-budget crap gets imported too, apparently. Different art than ours...something for Steve to enjoy...





EVIL LAUGH:

This is not my poster (hence the watermark), just an example. Picked it up cheap. I must have missed this in the 80s. Never heard of it--but kind of cool graphics.





BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE (Italian):

I am not familiar with this movie at all...but it's an Italian seggittone (or something like that)...a 1F (or whatever would pass for a 1F if there were such a thing.)



And that's if for now. Very few poster shows left...  Oh my stars!

Stay tuned!

CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #5

  And I'm back... This, I think, will be my final post of new posters. I had a few leftover posters from last time...and got others to fill out this post and get this done. I can't afford anything anymore and really, with my diminishing health, I should STOP collecting.  TANYA'S ISLAND: This was a cheap grab. I've never seen the movie, but have long wanted this poster. It's so doofy looking. This movie has been on my radar since its release--and it is amazingly hard to find. (As I said, I have NOT seen it yet.) From what I understand, it's basically KING KONG, but with a normal-sized ape (aka man in a bad moneky suit--based on the pictures I've seen) and a bit naughtier. (Hence the R-rating.) D.D. Winters is better known as Vanity, Prince's protegee back in the 80s. She apparently spends a good deal of the time naked. It's supposed to be bad. (No surprise.) I'd still like to see it. HOT DOG: THE MOVIE: I don't know why I bought this. I'm...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #4

  Hello. Welcome back. Today's offerings are...rather unexciting for the most part. As I've said many times before, my poster-buying power has been greatly diminished. I fear my post-buying days are wrapping up, too. The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show may be finally coming to a close in the near future. For now though, here's the latest of what I have to share with you today: KING FRAT: This was a fairly cheap poster--but supposedly rather rare? But really, it's not much to look at. I bought it because... I remember when this obscurity came out. Although I never saw it, it appeared to be some low-rent ANIMAL HOUSE wannabe. I was always curious... I bought it on disk (with THE CHEERING SECTION) on a clearance sale for old CODE RED products. (I guess that company went out of business?) I haven't watched it yet as I read the disk was taken directly from two very badly worn VHS sources. Oh well. I'll get to it someday. Maybe. The poster will go in a drawer. Whoopie... STA...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2021 #11

  Hi! Welcome to the 11th--and possibly LAST--- Shock-O-Rama Poster Show of the year --at least for several months. I'm busy packing for a move and up to my armpits in posters. (Details below.) UGH! I mean, I may buy more...but I don't have the time, money, and I want to be done with poster packing. Speaking of which, you may notice there is more than my usual 10 posters. Instead of holding back posters for some future posting (which may not be for months--if ever. My health issues keep rearing their ugly heads.), I'm posting everything I've gotten since last time. Take a peek or don't. I'm not feeling so well, which explains my rush to get this posted and the use of some online photos to illustrate today's posting. I'm going to go lay down. (Don't mind me...) Go ahead and take in the show: SHARKWATER EXTINCTION: I love the JAWS flicks, the rip-offs, and bad shark movies in general. This looks like it's probably a documentary--not a bad shark mov...
