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 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

  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
