Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 98

June 05, 2016, 08:58:06 AM

It's not a regular posting time for me, but I just picked up a bunch of cheap posters that are not that special. I thought I'd post them now so as not to clutter my post next time.

BEYOND THE DOOR:

This is a guilty pleasure of mine. I really dig this stupid rip-off of THE EXORCIST and ROSEMARY'S BABY. I like vintage shots of San Francisco (having lived there, it's interesting to note the changes) and how the family (that supposedly lives there) frequents well-known tourist spots. That would NOT happen in real life. I have this poster already as well (probably more than one?), but the copy I KNOW I have I put into a crappy cheap frame and the bottom has gotten damaged.

JASON X:

Jason in space! I already have this 10th Friday the 13th movie poster, but it was cheap and came with a bonus I didn't have (and which I'll save for my next proper post).

ANGUISH:

I've never seen this movie, i don't think. Interesting poster---all of the eyeballs behind Zelda Rubenstein, the diminutive actress from POLTERGEIST (she got a job?). It's probably a crap film? Anyone see it?

I, MADMAN:

I've not seen this either...I don't think. Interesting art though. The killer sneaks up on a girl reading a book with an image of a killer sneaking up on a girl. Clever.

CHEERS!

Okay--time for the shower and a L-O-N-G day of work. Groan....

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
