Okay---welcome back! And, I promise, this is my LAST salute to CINERAMA. Ha! All of the remaining Cinerama pictures I plundered from the internet are here. (And, since there are so many photos, you get more than 10 posters this time! Yowza!) Hang on tight and get ready for an action-packed, ultra-widescreen ride as the SHOCK-O-RAMA POSTER SHOW is ready to take off again...
WITHOUT WARNING (aka IT CAME WITHOUT WARNING):
I do remember seeing this flick in the theater (under the "Without Warning" moniker) and I remember liking it. I am almost positive that it was a double bill, but--even though I can tell you what theater I saw it in--I can NOT remember what the other movie was. Hmm. I don't remember much about the movie, but that it was kind of a nifty lil flick. The ending was a bit of a surprise, but I don't want to give anything away. I am sure I have a copy or two of this poster already---but dummy me can't seem to help buying the same posters over and over and over. Ha! And I do so seemingly without warning. (Bad pun).
THE MAN FROM S.E.X.:
I know this is a British spy spoof with ribald undertones. I remember this coming to town (I used to be in the newspaper daily staring at the movie ads). I have never seen it, of course. Some day maybe. But what I would really like to track down is the "MAN FROM O.R.G.Y.: The Real Gone Girls" movie (I have the poster for that as well). I can not find it any where.
THE NOTORIOUS DAUGHTER OF FANNY HILL:
I would probably have passed on this---except I've been trying to track down one of the posters ("FANNY HILL MEETS THE RED BARON") from Barry Mahon's "Fanny Hill" trilogy that I do not have yet. (I already have "FANNY HILL MEETS LADY CHATTERLY" and "FANNY HILL MEETS DR. EROTICO"). So---because it is Fanny Hill-ish---why not? (I'll regret it later. i'll never hang it up. But whatever...)
FADE TO BLACK (alternate style):
I already had a FADE TO BLACK one sheet...actually a couple of them. However, I had never seen this style until recently. When one was up for grabs I went up and grabbed it. I need to see this film again. I don't think I've seen it since the VHS era...or maybe since the theater? Has it held up?
PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES (Zombie Eyes promo):
I know this is NOT a poster, but as I tend to do from time to time, I'll buy and share here movie props or promotional giveaway gimmicks. This is the latter... And I am super duper thrilled to have these. A long time ago I got the double feature re-release one sheet for DRACULA PRINCE OF DARKNESS and PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES. I was drawn to it by the gimmick mentioned at the top (see below). Boys got "Dracula Fangs" and girls got "Zombie Eyes". I'm guessing Dracula Teeth are those plastic fangs that fir in your mouth---that where everywhere when I was a kid. But Zombie Eyes? I had no clue and never expected to even see a pair. Zowie! NO--I am not disappointed that it is partially punched out. I'd be thrilled to have them if they were totally punched out---since I have never seen a pair before. They must be RARE. And now, I've got one. Yahoo!
IT HAPPENED IN ATHENS:
I love Jayne Mansfield. Ha! She was so god awful and tacky and totally wonderful. She is like a classier John Waters character come to life. I have several of her posters---but this one had always been hard to track down---especially in English--or so it seemed to me. Yahoo! I got one and it appears to be in great shape. I have the movie, I think...I just have not watched it. Hopefully this is from the end of her career, when the productions were cheap and cheesy. But, YIPPIE!!! I am so excited to have this.
LET ME DIE A WOMAN:
Ha! It's (another copy of) the wacky Doris Wishman "documentary" about sex changes in the 1970s, "LET ME DIE A WOMAN"! "Deep Throat" star Harry Reams is in the flick---and he's about the only recognizable face in the film. I keep thinking that there is graphic footage of a sex change operation---but I am also thinking I am confusing that for a scene in one of those "SHOCKING ASIA" mondo flicks? Hmm. I probably am. This is Doris Wishman after all. She's about titillation (as incompetent as her filmmaking might be), not gross out.
THE FIENDISH GHOULS (aka MANIA) (Re-release):
Snagging an old Peter Cushing poster is always cool. This poster has great art. Too bad it's only a two-color poster. I believe this is another retelling of the old Burke and Hare story of grave robbing. Apparently Donald Pleasance is in this as well.
ARMY OF DARKNESS:
I have one of these---but it is folded and I wanted a nice rolled one. I've tried--not very hard--to snag one for years. The other day I bid on a bunch of stuff before work and lo' and behold...this one was the single item won that day. Hooray! I already have EVIL DEAD 1 and 2.
THE DEMON IS LOOSE:
No idea what this is. I shouldn't have bid on it. I was the only bidder.... Hmm.
LADY TERMINATOR:
I've never seen this and I am super surprised something with this title was NOT sued by Orion (?) for copyright infringement on its TERMINATOR series. Ha! This looks like cheese heaven. Anyone see it?
DRAGONSLAYER (British Quad):
This is a beautiful poster for a so-so movie that, I believe, was a co-production of Disney's and Paramount---back in the early '80's when Disney was trying to find its place in the movie world after floundering through the 70s and early 80s. I wasn't wild about this movie---but nifty poster. Zowie!
THE CRAWLING HAND:
I know nothing about this flick. The poster is simplistic and crude. I bid cheap and won cheap. This is the most recent acquisition of mine. I wish I had passed. Oh well.
And THAT is all for this time. Stay tuned for more posters-a-go-go!
CHEERS!
