Happy mid-August. OOPS! I'm a tad late...it's the 16th. Duh... But...UGH! Get this summer HEAT outta here. Just a little more than a month to go until I move back into my house. Already I am feeling the financial pressure. That will be a lot more money out of my wallet---with no rent coming in (which basically covered my mortgage...plus a little more) and me paying the mortgage, I'll be OUT $1250 each month. Ouch. No more pricey posters for a while.... With that in mind, I don't think I'll be having any more surprise bonus postings either. From September on, I'll be lucky to make my usual 10 posters per post. In fact, I've already started September 1st's post with spill over from this month.
And now, here're the posters:
MUNDO MERCADO DO SEXO (Brazilian):
What is this? It's a Brazilian movie poster for a Jose Mojica Marins movie---so when I saw it, I pounced on it, thinking it might be a Coffin Joe film. It's NOT a Coffin Joe film...drat it all. (Coffin Joe is in the upper left corner, so it was an easy mistake to make.) But it's still nice to have in my collection.
STAR CRYSTAL:
This was a poster from the recent bulk lot sale on emovie (see previous two bonus posts). Clearly an ALIEN wanna be...I dig the cheesy art work. Never have seen the movie---but the poster is fun.
SPAWN:
I'm pretty sure I saw this movie when it first came out---but I do not remember it at all. I totally dig the artwork though. WOW! Very nice.,
1990: THE BRONX WARRIORS:
Ha! I love crap movies, and this MAD MAX / ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK Italian hybrid has a schlocky wonderful poster. Gotta dig it.
WITCH DEFLECTOR (gimmick):
I scored one of these before. Recently another dealer had several...I bought two more. All the easier to display (eventually) the two sides. This promo was for the double feature re-release of WITCHCRAFT and THE HORROR OF IT ALL.
DRIVE IN:
I LOVED this movie as a kid. When it came out on DVD a few years back, I eagerly bought it...and was disappointed to see that it had not held up that well. However the best thing about it was the fictional onscreen movie they would occasionally flash to---DISASTER '76--which featured a plane (AIRPORT) crashing into a building, causing it to burn (TOWERING INFERNO) and then an ocean of sharks (JAWS) for some reason and MORE! The poster kind of gives an example of what went on. Remember the Alamo! (That's the name of the drive in theater and it's slogan.)
SOCIETY:
A-ha! I got one finally (but did I already own one? Hmm). I saw this film during the VHS era...but don't remember anything about it really. But who can resist a poster with someone pulling off their face!?! Yowzer! Very cool.
HARDWARE:
I recall when this came out...it was kind of a cult hit (but seems largely forgotten now). I remember liking it well enough---but don't remember much. It seemed to take place in one small apartment for a good chunk (all?) of the movie, if I'm not mistaken. I don't really remember.
I DRINK YOUR BLOOD and I EAT YOUR SKIN: (Combo)
I already have one of these---but this appears to be in better condition. HOPEFULLY. Such a classic shock-a-rama double feature poster. AWESOME!!!!
BLACK SABBATH:
Zowie wow! The US one sheet for the classic Mario Bava anthology that stars Boris Karloff in the final (and most famous) chapter. Groovy!

That's it for now. Here's hoping August winds down quickly and that September, while still quite warm, has some nice days ahead for you. See you again September 1st.
CHEERS!
