Hi there. It's either late June or early July...possibly even July 1st. (I'm writing this June 16th as I know I'll be on my road trip when posting time comes around--and I won't have time to put this together then...if it gets posted at all.) Unfortunately, I DO have some (too many, actually) new (to me) posters to share with you. They are mostly nothing special though... Here they are:
INDEPENDENCE DAY (Style B):
When I saw this up for auction, it occurred to me that I don't have any of the ID4 posters. I put a bid in for this style B version...and was delighted to see I won it.
BREAKIN' 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO:
I have never seen (nor will I ever see) either of the "BREAKIN' " movies. I will also probably never buy the poster for the original "Breakin' ". However, when you get to sequels, no movie sequel has ever had a more awesomely asinine subtitle than BREAKIN' 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO. It's been mocked for years -- and rightly so. I love that subtitle and think there should be a law that requires every sequel with a "2" in the title to have "Electric Boogaloo" as its subtitle. I can just see it now-- "JAWS 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO", "THE GODFATHER 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO", "EXORCIST 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO" (well, that might be the exception to the rule. People might mistake it for Linda Blair's epic ROLLER BOOGIE--easy mistake. BOTH are awful). But you can see how catchy the subtitle is. And---just look at those hip 80s fashions. Uh...what 80s were they in? I NEVER dressed that outrageously! Golly, I wonder what ever happened to stars Adolfo "Shabba Doo" Quinones or Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers? They're probably anxiously awaiting Breakin' 3 to be green lit any day now... Ha! All of this joy for only 1 cent (plus shipping)! Fabulous!
ROMANCING THE STONE:
Not that I needed this (and I probably already have this anyway), but it only set me back $2.25. I got it to pad out the postage for my "Breakin' 2" poster.
PASSION PLANTATION (aka BLACK & WHITE EMMANUELLE) (Italian 2F):
I didn't need this poster. I got it for $5. I have the sleazy/awesome US poster already--which I like better. Oh well.
HELLRAISER: DEADER:
Yes, this IS a video poster. It's one of those instances where if you really want the poster, you have to take a video poster--as there was no theatrical posters made (because it did not play theatrically). This was one of the awful direct-to-video sequels...but I've decided to track them all down anyway. Why not? I have the theatrical posters for the first 4 films already...I might as well finish it off. (That is, if they bothered to make posters for all of the DVD movies they released...)
THE DAY TIME ENDED:
I've never seen this flick...but have heard that it is an ambitious low-budget thing that is worth a look. Why not get the poster?
FRANKENSTEIN'S CASTLE OF FREAKS:
I saw this obscurity years and years ago---and need to see it again--as I remember liking it (in a jaw-droppingly wonderfully bad sort of way). I don't remember much about it---but what a great title. And notice one of the cast is credited as being "Boris Lugosi," no doubt added to confuse the casual movie fan. Ha!
INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (International):
I've wanted this for years. There are actually a few different foreign versions, but this is my first one. The US one sheets for this 70s remake are just dull (I think). I didn't need this--but it is still cool.
NAZI LOVE CAMP:
I actually had this poster a long while ago. I wasn't wild about the artwork (the women at the bottom are little more than thick stick figures). So i stupidly sold it--not realizing what it was--for next to nothing. Stupid. I'm still not wild about the art, but I now realize what I've got. The Nazisploitation cycle may not have lasted all that long (what a bizarre-o subgenre to have ever come about), but to certain collectors/fans, these posters are worth a lot.
TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME :
I already have this as well. I hope this is a better copy than the one I already have. While the movie was not the best (although it did have some amazing moments), I LOVED the series and am super excited for the new season/series coming next year.
SUICIDE SQUAD:
I have no clue what this movie is about...but I totally dig the poster. With all of the skulls...it's very Monster A GoGo-esque. (Now watch the movie suck...)
THE FROZEN GHOST:
I've not seen this film either, but couldn't resist the poster. It's a wonderful old school shocker from 1944. Great color, Lon Chaney...and, although it's NOT a classic monster, it's still vintage Universal. Cool. (Well, I think it is...)
That it for now. I'm heading off on my road trip today (writing this on the 26th), so if I happen to get more posters between now and the 1st, I'll save them for a future post. I hope you are all well.
Cha-cha-cha-CHEERS!
