Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 108

August 09, 2016, 12:42:52 PM 


Hot on the heels of my less-than-stellar, crap-O-rama bulk lot poster post, I thought I'd redeem myself just a little with MORE bulk lot posters that are just a tad interesting (but still nothing I'd proudly save for my scheduled posts).


AIRPLANE 2: THE SEQUEL:

I generally do not collect posters for sequels--with the exception of some horror titles and others. I have the original AIRPLANE poster and the original film was a comedy classic. The sequel though...well, it was BAD (and the reason there was never a Part 3). It didn't even have the Zucker Brothers (the original's creator, writers and directors) involvement. The poster is not a winner either, but it came with a lot---so there you are.






ALIEN 3:

Boring poster over all. Interesting only in that it is part of the ALIEN series. ALIEN 3 was not all that memorable... was this the one in the prison?





LORDS OF THE DEEP:

This poster could have been so much better. It's apparently for some schlock movie I never heard of. The poster should have been...schlockier!





METALSTORM: THE DESTRUCTION OF JARED-SYN:

80s 3D (I'm a sucker for gimmicks/3D). This was a crap movie (confusing and open-ended), but as part of a bulk lot, it's now mine (I already have a copy---of course).





DEADTIME STORIES:

The poster is a little lame...but it pretty much sums up the movie, which is a poster's job. I saw this flick (and vaguely remember it). It was a CREEPSHOW knock-off, an anthology of little horror stories. It seems like one of them was an updated version of either LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD or GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS (I'm guessing it was LITTLE RED though...). Not horrible...just not that memorable...and where is it now? Forgotten...





DEVIL'S ADVOCATE:

Did I see this? I don't even remember. But it's got big stars and is Hollywood mainstream. No big deal. (But really? Al Pacino took second billing to Keanu Reeves?)





ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND:

I already have one of these, but I am delighted to have gotten this so i can post it again. This is one of those movies that is probably crap to the rest of the world---but has a sentimental place in my heart. Just before this came out, there was a big promotion for the film at the local mall. There was this big Wonderland display. You entered at one end and walked down through it. They had several characters in costume (White Rabbit, Mad Hatter, probably Alice as well, etc.) greet you as you walked through. At the end, you were given a balloon with the title of the movie printed on it. It was so neat--and I've never seen anything like it since. So yes, i BUGGED my mom to take me--which she did. I'm sure she hated it....and, although I've seen it a few times since, I don't really remember it that well. It was a musical (ugh) but did have a semi-impressive cast. Whatever---the poster alone reminds me of that unique promotional display every time I see one...and THAT is the real nostalgic magic of this poster for me.





BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED:

This movie should/could have been much better than it was. Oh well...





THE CURSE:

Here's an obscurity... The original theatrical poster for the movie that launched a long line of direct-to-video sequels (in name only).





PRIVATE SCHOOL:

I never saw this, but it's kind of a fun poster. I do recall the ads though and this has a SOME LIKE IT HOT subplot going on with boys dressed as girls for some reason. There's al;so a very real Phoebe Cates in it too.



As I said, nothing to write home about...but more interesting (slightly) than the batch I posted last night.

CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #5

  And I'm back... This, I think, will be my final post of new posters. I had a few leftover posters from last time...and got others to fill out this post and get this done. I can't afford anything anymore and really, with my diminishing health, I should STOP collecting.  TANYA'S ISLAND: This was a cheap grab. I've never seen the movie, but have long wanted this poster. It's so doofy looking. This movie has been on my radar since its release--and it is amazingly hard to find. (As I said, I have NOT seen it yet.) From what I understand, it's basically KING KONG, but with a normal-sized ape (aka man in a bad moneky suit--based on the pictures I've seen) and a bit naughtier. (Hence the R-rating.) D.D. Winters is better known as Vanity, Prince's protegee back in the 80s. She apparently spends a good deal of the time naked. It's supposed to be bad. (No surprise.) I'd still like to see it. HOT DOG: THE MOVIE: I don't know why I bought this. I'm...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #4

  Hello. Welcome back. Today's offerings are...rather unexciting for the most part. As I've said many times before, my poster-buying power has been greatly diminished. I fear my post-buying days are wrapping up, too. The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show may be finally coming to a close in the near future. For now though, here's the latest of what I have to share with you today: KING FRAT: This was a fairly cheap poster--but supposedly rather rare? But really, it's not much to look at. I bought it because... I remember when this obscurity came out. Although I never saw it, it appeared to be some low-rent ANIMAL HOUSE wannabe. I was always curious... I bought it on disk (with THE CHEERING SECTION) on a clearance sale for old CODE RED products. (I guess that company went out of business?) I haven't watched it yet as I read the disk was taken directly from two very badly worn VHS sources. Oh well. I'll get to it someday. Maybe. The poster will go in a drawer. Whoopie... STA...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2021 #11

  Hi! Welcome to the 11th--and possibly LAST--- Shock-O-Rama Poster Show of the year --at least for several months. I'm busy packing for a move and up to my armpits in posters. (Details below.) UGH! I mean, I may buy more...but I don't have the time, money, and I want to be done with poster packing. Speaking of which, you may notice there is more than my usual 10 posters. Instead of holding back posters for some future posting (which may not be for months--if ever. My health issues keep rearing their ugly heads.), I'm posting everything I've gotten since last time. Take a peek or don't. I'm not feeling so well, which explains my rush to get this posted and the use of some online photos to illustrate today's posting. I'm going to go lay down. (Don't mind me...) Go ahead and take in the show: SHARKWATER EXTINCTION: I love the JAWS flicks, the rip-offs, and bad shark movies in general. This looks like it's probably a documentary--not a bad shark mov...
