Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 73

December 13, 2015, 11:21:13 PM

Hello. I'm back...posting 10 more recent acquisitions. Besides this post, I think I have enough for about 2 or 3 more posts. Once they're are all posted, that's it for the year. And I'll only be back occasionally next year.

 KING KONG VS GODZILLA (Italian):

Drat it all. This was supposed to be in the post earlier this morning. Grrr. When I stumbled on this poster (the third different one , I think, with this same title...but I liked this one the best), I thought it must be a re-titling. THE TRIUMPH OF KING KONG? Never heard of it. imagine my surprise when I discovered it was actually KING KONG VS GODZILLA! Ha!




SUSPIRIA (Spanish):

Another groovy SUSPIRIA poster. Still dig the US one sheet best, but anything SUSPIRIA is SUSPIRIAstic!





 TRAUMA (Italian):

I've not seen this flick yet (what else is new?), but it was an Italian Argento...THUMBS UP!





BARBARIAN MASTER (Italian):

I had no idea what this was when i bought. i still don't knoiw what it is now that i found the US title. i bought this poster because it made me laugh out loud. Check out the molten-hot sword rising from the bowl...or maybe from his crotch? Ha! How phallic can you get? TOO funny. Apparently this is some 80s CONAN wannabe.





FRIDAY THE 13TH (remake British quad):

About the only thing I can say that was positive about the remake of FRIDAY THE 13TH was that it had a cool poster. Not as cool as the original, but better than say... part 2, 3, 4, or 5. Ha!




HORROR EXPRESS:

This was kind of an oops!  I had just been contemplating an Italian HORROR EXPRESS when a dealer sent me a list of items he had for sale. This guy is reputable and I trust his grading. The only thing is--there were no pictures available. I saw HORROR EXPRESS very reasonably priced and snatched it up...and then I realized (snore) this was the boring reddish US poster and NOT the cool Italian poster I had been (evil) eyeing. Waaagh!




HORROR EXPRESS (Italian):

So, darn it all, I had to go back and buy the Italian version as well.




 SLEEPING BEAUTY (French re-release):

My 2nd (and probably final) poster ever for Disney's SLEEPING BEAUTY. Again, as with the other US one sheet for the film i got, why does Prince Erik get his self on there twice, when the titular start girl only gets on the poster once? Ha!





 THE OMEN (Czech):

Oooooo I wanted this for a while. It will make a nice companion piece to my US and Turkish OMEN posters!




 SOCIETY (Italian):

Last poster for the evening (good, because i need to get to bed. i have to be up at 5 am for work in the morning. Blah!) is the Italian poster for the cult horror flick SOCIETY. Different art (I think I prefer the US one...but I have NOT been able to get one.)



Okay---I know it's early, but it's pumpkin time for me.

Good night!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: Special Edition #1

  Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. This edition is a bit different. As you may know, with certain exceptions that may come my way, I've by and large stopped buying posters. This post isn't about new posters. Instead it is about my first experiencing linenbacking posters.  If you've read any of my posts before, you will know that I am NO FAN of linenbacked posters. However, as my collecting days were slowing/coming to an end, getting things on linen seemed to be the only way I'd be ever able to enjoy certain posters if I wanted them. I now have several linenbacked posters in my collection. I'm about to have four more... I am still working through a move I made 2 years ago. I am trying to get  my poster collection organized in some sort of manner. I am still going through boxes and tubes, trying to frame them or add them to my flat file drawers (or set them aside for either auction or to donate to thrift stores). During one such effort to (stupidly) pull...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: Special Edition #2: The Best of 2024

Well, 2024 is coming to a close. It's time once again to go through the year's purchases and touch on the favorites I picked up through the year. This was a light year for purchases for me--and next year I expect will be even more sparse, if there are any at all. But I was able to eek out 10 (actually 11) faves for 2024 and here they are: (Honorable Mention) HOUSE OF THE DEAD: I don't have much this year to warrant an "honorable mention". I would probably have used this poster in the #10 spot...except the one there I had been after for sooooo long (despite the movie turning out to be snore-inducing when I finally saw it). This poster I had never seen before--not am I familair with the movie. it probably sucks, but I liked the artwork on the poster---so that is why I chose to include it--honorable mention or not. 10):   THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS  and  OKEFENOKEE  (combo) : I have been after this poster for decades--long before I ever saw the yawn-inducing film...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: #7

  Welcome back! I certainly NEVER expected to be back with another Shock-O-Rama Poster Show, yet here I am. Sure, maybe a "special edition" (about hanging posters or framing them, etc.) would have popped up--but one with "new" posters? No. I have cancer and have been going through chemo for the last four months. Why buy posters if I wind up dead? I resisted for a long time, but...here I am, binging (and mostly on CRAP!). There are 14 here...instead of my ususual 10. I haven't been keeping track of the (utter trash) I've been buying. So, as best I can figure out, for better or worse (mostly worse), these are my new purchases since May or June. I am pulling this together as I realized it's the end of the year--and a "best of 2024" should happen. O' the fun... NOT! I'm trying to recover from my last chemo treatment even now --and all I want to do is be in bed. THE BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS: Several pieces I ended up with are in poor shape an...
