Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 110

September 01, 2016, 12:05:49 AM


(* It's still August here in California for a few more hours...but the post is done and it's September in the most of the rest of the world already, so why not post it now, right?  Whoo hoo!)




Happy September!  Yahoo! By the month's end, I should have started to move back into my house!!!!!  What that means is that I'll be able to start working on cataloging and organizing my posters once again. Yippie!!! But that also means I'll have a mortgage to pay and utilities. EEEK!

Now on to the posters...

THE LAST CHASE:

This is held over from one of those bulk lots I got from emovie at the beginning of last month. Who ever heard of this movie? Was it even released? Co-star Chris Makepeace had about 5 minutes of fame and he must have slipped this movie in during  the last few seconds of that 5 minutes. Lee Majors? Burgess Meredith?? And a very large Italian supporting cast? Hmm. I'm curious about this one...not anything great, i'm sure---but a mystery of sorts. Hopefully it's spectacularly awful.





THE DEVIL AND LEROY BASSETT:

Whatever this movie is---I've never heard of it...but I was intrigued enough by the poster to pick it up. It was super inexpensive---which for me is always the right price. Anyone know anything about this flick? Any good?





TRANSMUTATIONS:

Also held over from the bulk lot sale...I couldn't decide if I liked this poster or not. It looks like it would be a piece of garbage film, but there's something about the image that keeps me coming back to it. That's why I held it back. It's kind of cheap--but fun.





INDEPENDENCE DAY (stuyle B teaser):

Just a few weeks back I got my first INDEPENDENCE DAY poster...but there are just soooo many styles of it. UGH!. Here's my 2nd ID4 poster. If I get more--great. If not--c'est la vie. I'm NOT that actively looking for them.





THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER:

Buying Disney is always a safe bet. Even though this movie is generally NOT one of the favorites out there and even though this poster is fairly easy to get, I decided to go for it any way because it was cheap. And Disney.





WALL-E (advance):

Another Disney poster--this time more beloved (I think). I have not seen WALL-E yet, but hope to soon.





SPLASH:

I bid on this half-heartedly, thinking it would go for more. Probably the best/most famous live-action mermaid movie (and one that inspired countless thousands of baby girls to be named Madison) and it went reasonably less than i thought it would. Lucky me, i guess. (But do I already have a copy? Hmm.)





MY BLOODY VALENTINE (Japanese B2):

I didn't need this (did I need ANYTHING on this list?). I was outbid and should have just let it go... Oh well. I kind of dig this B2 as it has a striking image of the killer coal miner from the film. Classic 80s slasher---Japanese style.





BATWOMAN (Turkish 1980 re-release):

Yippie! I've wanted one of these for a long while. There's another BATWOMAN poster I've seen repros of--but never the original for sale. I'll track it down eventually maybe. In the meantime, i have this one. Who knew there were TWO BATMAN rip-off BATWOMAN movies? There's this one and THE WILD WORLD OF BATWOMAN, which i always thought were the same movie...until I actually saw THE WILD WORLD and realized the movie i remember was NOT the same one. The Mexican one (this one) is the one I saw originally.  How fun to finally have a poster of it...albeit Turkish.





MOTHER OF TEARS:

I've been looking for one of these since it came out. Although it's not the best poster ever and the movie was rather disappointing (I actually saw it in a theater, dragged a friend along with me and forced him to watch this crap), it's very hard to find a one sheet for this flick. And it IS part of the Three Mothers trilogy that started with the great SUSPIRIA and continued with INFERNO, So why NOT?



That's it for now (but I've already started working on the NEXT post. EEK!).

CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #12

  Hi there. Yes, I’m back again. Really, I was in a weird, crazed buying frenzy recently. I have enough posters for at least one and a half more posts… But I’ll try to pace myself and hold back a bit. These aren’t that exciting. Actually, neither is the next batch. The batch after that has one or two things I’m especially excited about, but we’ll have to see what trickles in to fill the rest of that post up. But I’m getting ahead of myself. We are on this post. Let’s take a gander at it,  shall we? I hope it won’t be too disappointing. Perhaps there’ll be a poster on here or two that you haven’t seen before. THE QUIET EARTH: While I think I’ve heard of this movie before, and I think I may have seen this poster before, I’m not quite sure. If I have seen this poster before, I don’t think I actually owned it. Like my last post, this has a few posters that were part of several lots. No, I am not posting all of the posters in the lots. Not all of them appealed to me. This one, thou...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #13

Hello. Here we are again. There’s nothing new to see here. Every poster is either VHS-era garbage or something you’ve seen before. There is one outlier that doesn’t seem to belong, but it’s one that I’ve been looking for forever. Even though I wasn’t actively looking for it when I finally got it. Huh? Never mind. Let’s just take a look and see what we have today… CURSE III: BLOOD SACRIFICE (video) :  I don’t know what I was thinking when I decided to track down the posters for THE CURSE series . For those who have never seen it or heard of it, THE CURSE series is a mostly direct-to-video series of horror flick that are NOT related to each other at all, except by title. I have the theatrical (I think) one sheet for the original movie. I’m not sure if I have a copy of the part two poster or not, and I may have copies of parts three and four already… Or not. I am not sure. But here is the poster for CURSE III: BLOOD SACRIFICE. Yes, as you can, guess, it was cheap. Did I see the movie...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #11

Welcome back. Now that the James Bond stuff is out of the way (see my last post), I can trudge to some B-movie stuff. A lot of this stuff came from lot purchases. I have a lot of these posters already, and have shared them in previous posts. Not all of the posters from the various lot purchases will be shared. Don’t panic. I’ve just decided to share these as a way to look back at these B-flicks and reflect on them a bit. THE MEPHISTO WALTZ: This was an early movie in the 70s satanic panic cycle, that was started with ROSEMARY’S BABY in the mid 60s. If you haven’t seen it, you’re not really missing much. What I do remember most from the commercials was a dog with a human head. Imagine my annoyance when it just turned out to be a dog with a mask on its head that someone placed on it as a joke. There was no “human headed” dog in the plot. Alan Alda I identify so much with being Hawkeye on M*A*S*H, that it’s hard to see him in this movie. At least for me, this is an instance where it’s har...
