The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2018 #5*#

Hi there!  Welcome to another poster posting.

It's April 2nd, 2018! This post is to celebrate the THIRD ANNIVERSARY (April 2, 2015) of  my thread (on another site. Ha!).  I don't have much for a post, but I wanted to get something up anyway for the occasion. Hooray!


RAMPAGE:

I have no idea what this is. Dwayne Johnson? UGH. With the giant ape looming behind him, I had hopes it might be KING KONG or, at least, MIGHTY JOE YOUNG-ish? Based on the fact it is apparently based on a video game of some sort, I have a feeling I bought a turd poster I don't need. Oh well.





WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (re-release):

I already have a copy or two of this poster...why not another? I love this film. Soooo much better than the Johnny Depp/Tim Burton version. And...did I hear it was being remade AGAIN? UGH! 




THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG:

Can you go wrong with a Disney poster? Especially one featuring the first African-American princess in the Disney stables? Hopefully it will go up in value? I've not seen the film, but...




DIE ANOTHER DAY (Advance):

 I liked this Bond outing, even though the Bronsan Bonds are kind of getting the short end of things. It was cheap.




MEN IN BLACK:

 I was never a fan of this series...but I saw it and a sequel. But, it was inexpensive and the first of the series. Why not?




STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE:

Ugh! I'm not even a STAR WARS fan...but I thought I should get one for resell down the road...





STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI:

Ditto. See above.





THE CURSE OF THE AZTEC MUMMY (Mexican):

 Oh my STARS! How excited I am about this one. This is my LEAST favorite film in the AZTEC MUMMY series (it's a shameless retread of the first movie, all told in flashback!). It's also my least favorite poster for the trilogy, but the posters are IMPOSSIBLE to find. I now have this one and the third/final poster, ROBOT VS THE AZTEC MUMMY (click HERE for the post where I share it. There are other great posters in there as well.) I just need the first one now. Ooooo. Yahooo!
THE SHAPE OF WATER:

Winner of Best Picture, I am thrilled to have a copy of the poster for THE SHAPE OF WATER. I really enjoyed the movie---except for that weird fantasy song and dance sequence that I didn't think belonged at all. Hopefully it becomes a classic and the price of the poster only increases with time (with my luck, that probably won't happen, but...).



And that is it for now. THANK YOU for three great years. 

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...
