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 #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: 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: #6

I wasn't planning on buying any more posters. On top of all of my other many health ailments, I have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. That is effectively taking me out of the game permanently. However, I have a handful of posters I had purchased or had bids on (but didn't expect to win). These leftovers (and there are -- gasp! --15 of them!?!) I'm not planning on sharing on other poster websites as I usually do. They are just here to be complete. THE ANTICHRIST (Australian) : I love the EXORCIST ripoffs.  THE ANTICHRIST isn't one of the better ones--but, this is a poster I hadn't seen before...and it was cheap. CARNAL MADNESS: Never heard of this one--which is why I bought it. EVIL DEAD (2009 re-release) : Not that I needed this (I have the original one sheet already), I thought it would be fun to pick up this rerelease one sheet from Grindhouse Releaseing. MALIBU HORROR STORY: I had a couple of these already. However, both were damaged (one severely so). I c...
