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 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

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #8

  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
