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 2024: Special Edition #1

  Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. This edition is a bit different. As you may know, with certain exceptions that may come my way, I've by and large stopped buying posters. This post isn't about new posters. Instead it is about my first experiencing linenbacking posters.  If you've read any of my posts before, you will know that I am NO FAN of linenbacked posters. However, as my collecting days were slowing/coming to an end, getting things on linen seemed to be the only way I'd be ever able to enjoy certain posters if I wanted them. I now have several linenbacked posters in my collection. I'm about to have four more... I am still working through a move I made 2 years ago. I am trying to get  my poster collection organized in some sort of manner. I am still going through boxes and tubes, trying to frame them or add them to my flat file drawers (or set them aside for either auction or to donate to thrift stores). During one such effort to (stupidly) pull...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: Special Edition #2: The Best of 2024

Well, 2024 is coming to a close. It's time once again to go through the year's purchases and touch on the favorites I picked up through the year. This was a light year for purchases for me--and next year I expect will be even more sparse, if there are any at all. But I was able to eek out 10 (actually 11) faves for 2024 and here they are: (Honorable Mention) HOUSE OF THE DEAD: I don't have much this year to warrant an "honorable mention". I would probably have used this poster in the #10 spot...except the one there I had been after for sooooo long (despite the movie turning out to be snore-inducing when I finally saw it). This poster I had never seen before--not am I familair with the movie. it probably sucks, but I liked the artwork on the poster---so that is why I chose to include it--honorable mention or not. 10):   THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS  and  OKEFENOKEE  (combo) : I have been after this poster for decades--long before I ever saw the yawn-inducing film...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: #7

  Welcome back! I certainly NEVER expected to be back with another Shock-O-Rama Poster Show, yet here I am. Sure, maybe a "special edition" (about hanging posters or framing them, etc.) would have popped up--but one with "new" posters? No. I have cancer and have been going through chemo for the last four months. Why buy posters if I wind up dead? I resisted for a long time, but...here I am, binging (and mostly on CRAP!). There are 14 here...instead of my ususual 10. I haven't been keeping track of the (utter trash) I've been buying. So, as best I can figure out, for better or worse (mostly worse), these are my new purchases since May or June. I am pulling this together as I realized it's the end of the year--and a "best of 2024" should happen. O' the fun... NOT! I'm trying to recover from my last chemo treatment even now --and all I want to do is be in bed. THE BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS: Several pieces I ended up with are in poor shape an...
