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 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...
