Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 90

March 24, 2016, 02:18:03 PM

Hi there. Thank you all for visiting.

Here are the two posters I "won" last night via sniping (which I had forgotten about). I just want them off the slate so I can try and jump start the promise to myself to buy only things I NEED. Fingers crossed I can stick to it. In the meantime, here are these:


THE INVINCIBLE GLADIATOR and THE GIANT OF METROPOLIS combo:

Hmm. Well, maybe I DID "need" this one. I have a collection of those old Hercules-type movies from the 60s. This is a double-bill, but both films were first run here in the US (at least I think so. I've never seen US posters for either separately). I might actually have this poster already--or maybe I've just seen it before and was outbid? I have no idea...  But now that it's on my thread, I'll KNOW I have it if I encounter one again.





THE BRASS BOTTLE:

I've been meaning to track down this flick. THE BRASS BOTTLE was a genie in the bottle tale that starred Barbara Eden from 1964. It's relative success as well as that of BEWITCHED paved the way for the I DREAM OF JEANNIE television series---with Eden (who is NOT the genie in BRASS BOTTLE) an almost natural casting choice. I'm curious about the film and the poster is fun and whimsical...I didn't need it but it's still nice.



Okay--now the slate is really, REALLY clean. There is one poster on my snipe list--it's on my list of things I "need". If I get it--great. It'll be part of my April posting. If I don't it them--no big deal.  But then there is this weekend's big HA auction. EEEEK! I may have to go snipe some things there. I work this weekend so sniping's my best bet. I hope I LOSE them all. Ha!

Anyway--thanks for visiting.

CHEERS!

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...
