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 2023: #10

Welcome back! I certainly did NOT expect to have any further posts with new purchases this 2023 calendar year, but here we are. Granted, most of these are holdover purchases from my temporary poster-buying insanity in October. I’d expected those to be the foundation for whatever post I kicked off the new year with. But now? I had a few more pick ups… Why hold back? Let’s send 2023 out with a real BANG! Christmas came a little early this year. Uh oh… The lights are dimming. Take your seats. Let’s see what I have for you this time… GIRL IN GOLD BOOTS:  Not a great poster, but one I’ve been after for a while. This flick is an exploitationer from legendary B man Ted V. Mikels (CORPSE GRINDERS, ASTRO-ZOMBIES, BLOOD ORGY OF THE SHE-DEVILS, etc.). I saw it years ago. I don’t remember much other than that there is a girl (who wears gold go-go boots) who is a dancer (and maybe sings?) and is somehow involved in the criminal underworld. Like a lot of Mikels’ films…it doesn’t leave an indelible m

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #9

  Welcome! Get your tickets and take your seat.The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is about to begin. I am still disabled and only getting worse…yet, uh, um…I’m spending money on my ADDICTION to posters that I really have NO BUSINESS doing. Why? Because I am STUPID. (But I LOVE staring at them…) Waaaaagh! Anyway—-my stupidity is your viewing pleasure (or however you want to term it…).  Here we go… THE LADY IN THE MORGUE (1942 RE-RELEASE) : This isn't something that I'd usually buy. I've never seen this old mystery/whodunit flick. Despite this being a re-release poster (The original, with completely different art, hails from 1938.), I decided to go ahead and buy this 81-year-old gem for several reasons. I like the monster-ish hands reaching in at the couple. I dig the purple/green color scheme. The old school font is awesome...and one of its co-stars is Barbara Pepper, who brilliantly played Mrs. Ziffel (Arnold the pig's "mom") on GREEN ACRES. Ha! The most important r

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #8

  And, what!?! We're B-A-C-K!!! That was...quick. (It just seems that way as I delayed the previous post until I finished my write up on my Something Weird Video adrventure, which I had linked to the page. I've already been working on this one for several weeks.) Truth be told, though, about half of these became mine in a 12 hour period. It is no secret that I am now disabled. I live on a VERY modest income with very little in the bank to fall back on. There is a saying, "You can't take it with you." There should also be a saying that says "You can't enjoy it if you don't have it." That seemed to have been my mindset during a recent eMovieposter auction. Despite the fact that everything was on linen--there were so many titles I wanted. Things were fairly cheap...until the very end. But... Geez! Dipping into my meager savings was... EXTREMELY STUPID and FOOLISH.  But, it happened. Let's take a look: PRO BALL CHEERLEADERS: What the hell is this
