The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2018: #6*#


Hi there! It's poster time once again! So, step right up. Grab your tickets (Hey! It's free admission day! Whoo hoo! You are in luck). Yes, there are fewer than the usual 10 on display today. That's because this is my birthday post and these are the only new ones I have at the moment. So let's see what I have to share today...


EROTIC NIGHTS OF THE LIVING DEAD:
For the first (?) time, a zombie porn movie...sort of.  Yes, there is hardcore in the film, but not all that much. However, this is such an anomaly ---a film that seems to have not been distributed very well---so paper on it is very hard to find. So...while I'm not a fan of Italian locandias per se (I do have a few), I was glad to get this (even though it is utterly snore-boring!). It's not a great zombie film by any means (or even a good one...or even a good adult film, for that matter). For zombie completest geeks (like myself) only.






SHOCK WAVES:
I've already said I'm not really a fan of Italian locandias, but I did like the image on this one (very different than the US one sheet). I wasn't going to be around for this auction and I bid (too high) on this early and it became mine. Oops!







SANTA SANGRE:
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I have long had a copy of the video release poster (completely different art on that), but the theatrical poster...It's not my favorite so I didn't want to spend a bunch on it. I picked this one up surprisingly cheap. It does have issues in the white border corners (Not shown here), but for $15 or whatever, I can deal with that and it can hide behind the frame (if I ever get it framed, that is...).





JAWS:

Yes, I already have a JAWS poster. I got it as a birthday gift for myself 3 years ago. Where it is, I have NO IDEA. Did I ever receive it? ARGH! I can NOT find it anywhere and I want it up on my walls. So, I got this one instead. (ANOTHER "birthday gift," I suppose you could say...) It's from the recent HA auction and I paid more than I wanted to for it (Isn't that always the case?), but I do believe it is in much better condition than my other one.




 THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN:
There were several posters in the recent HA auction that I had set my sights on. As it got closer to auction time and the prices started getting more and more inflated (EEK!), I focused on this one as the poster I WOULD GET! A Reynold Brown classic! Zowie! What a great addition to my collection. LOVE IT! I am soooo THRILLED to have it. WHOO HOO!

And that is it for this time. See you next time. THANK YOU for stopping by and celebrating my birthday post with me.  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...
