Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 84

February 14, 2016, 11:07:28 PM 

I wrote my morning posting (and the posting that will follow this one) several days ago so I would have an easy time of things when posting time came. But--oops! Auctions happened and wins occurred.

These are late additions to my poster postings for the month--and not my FAVES of the month (those will come still later this evening...)  I am writing this on the 12th. Obviously, I still have NOT learned my lesson about buying things I do not need...but it could have been worse. Last Tuesday's emovie auction had many different posters from all over the world. I did NOT "need" any of them, but saw a bunch i liked and bid conservatively on them. I won 3...but that's still $30-odd dollars i did not need to spend. Last Thursday's auction left me winning only 1 when the auction dust had cleared...and then there was Richard's Movie Poster Bid auction and who knows what--if anything--I may have won tonight (while working. Whatever I won will have to wait for my March visit for posting)!  Oh well. Here are those recent win posters I did not need (well, the last two I'm kind of pumped about, but)......


THE UNUSUAL VOYAGE OF MISHKA STREKACHYOV (Russian):

I know nothing about this, but found the photo poster of the child charming... But I didn't need this.





KING OF THE REINDEER (Russian):

Another movie I know nothing about...but I liked the art. Did NOT need it though.





MOONLIGHT (Polish):

This is apparently not a movie poster, but a poster for a live performance. It does not say where or when it is happening though. The poster is supposed to be Polish--and it looks like it could be Polish art--but every word on it is in English. Another poster, while cool, it was not necessary...





JOHNS:

This is a small, indie movie nobody saw. It was kind of like a poor man's MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO in that it featured two up and coming actors (David Arquette and Lucas Haas) daringly playing male prostitutes. It didn't have the punch MOPI has, but it was still a good little movie. Plus it was only $5.





LOST BOYS:

Zowie! I am kind of excited about this poster. While I am reasonably sure I have a copy already, I don't think it's in as nice of condition as this one and while this poster usually gets very pricey for some reason---this very good copy wasn't too bad price-wise. I didn't need this copy, but I'm glad I got it.





LOST HIGHWAY:

Of the really recent stuff (on this posting...all from the last few days), I am most pumped about this one. I THINK I may have a LOST HIGHWAY poster---but I am NOT sure. I loved TWIN PEAKS and am looking forward to the continuation series next year. LOST HIGHWAY, when I first saw it, was soooo amazing. It was my favorite Lynch piece until his masterpiece (imo) MULHOLLAD DR. was released. LOST HIGHWAY doesn't hold up for me (the last half hour or so is still wonderfully wtf-ish though) since MULHOLLAND DR. came along...but anything Lynch is worth grabbing. Yahoo!



BARRACUDA (Italian 4F):

ANOTHER 4F. I'm NO fan of that size (It's super huge and in 2 pieces), but I am a sucker for JAWS ripoffs. I already have the 2F version which is different. This version has a gorier image with the barracuda with the diver's head in its mouth. Yowza!  I like the image...and had gotten it on an Italian locandina (?). I guess if I want it on a poster, it will have to be a 4F. Apparently in Italy, most 2F and 4F posters feature different images...is that true? Anyway, here it is...



And that's it for this mini-post. My final post (my favorites from the last month) will come a little later this evening.

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...
