Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 112

September 16, 2016, 05:25:32 PM

I'm moving as I said. From the tiny, cramped storage shed-like Shack-A-Rama back into a real house. I lived in the Shack-A-Rama (with everything I owned) while I was going back to school. I couldn't work at the time (my old job would not let me go part time), so I moved in here and rented my house out. After 5+ years in that hell hole, I'm moving back to the house.

This first shot is pre-move in the Shack-A-Rama. These are tubes with rolled posters outside of the walk-in closest. Tons of them....and there are many more in the closet (along with a dresser and a recliner). The three boxes you see also have folded posters.



This next photo is of another closet in the poster room of the house as I start to fill it up with the rolled posters (until I can go through and condense them). Clearly it's not going to be big enough. EEEK!




Today I was trying to squeeze a few more rolled posters in and I had an avalanche!





The room is just too small---I still have the bulk of my 200+ framed posters to move over and a few boxes of folded posters and lots more rolls. Here's some lenticulars and folded posters in the bankers boxes:


And here is the room in general with a few of the framed posters moved over (I have enough room against the wall for three piles...third not shown obviously). It'a far too small! And where will I put the ugly metal poster cabinet thing I bought (that is sitting in the garage on its side)?  I really need to weed through my posters soon.


And YES, I still have a lot more to move over... UGH!

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
