Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 109

August 16, 2016, 03:49:14 PM


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!

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...
