Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 126

November 15, 2016, 12:16:03 AM 





Hi there! Happy mid-November. Jinkies. The holidays will soon be upon us. Heck, Thanksgiving is only 9 days (?) away. And I do not want to even think about Christmas yet. Yikes!

Anyway, as usual, here are 10 new posters I recently acquired. These are about as exciting as the last bunch...in other words, they are NOT exciting at all. ho-hum.  Enjoy or don't.

And now, posters away...

CHEERS!



BODY CANDY:

Did I need this? No. Although I do like the artwork of a girl in a candy wrapper. Clever. Never saw the flick though.





CARNY GIRL:

I know it's just some old nudie poster...but I really liked/wanted CARNY GIRL. Something about it reminded me of my OLGA movie posters...albeit at a carnival. I didn't need this though...And I've seen at least two others since I got this one. Ha!





FANTASIA (British quad 1982 re-release):

I totally dig this 1982 re-release of Fantasia. The demon from the NIGHT ON BALD MOUNTAIN segment is awesome. It really makes the quad for me. Fantasia was one of the earliest movies I remember seeing (at the long-gone but sooooo epic WINCHESTER DRIVE IN in San Jose.. They had like 6 or 7 screens....just amazing!



S.O.S. TITANIC ( French ):

Think I missed this 70s version of the Titanic re-telling. Cool little French affiche though.



THE GREAT DIAMOND ROBBERY:

I have no idea why i bought this. It was back in September during the move when I was withOUT the internet. There was an auction. I jumped on with my phone (which I hate) and bid randomly on a bunch o' stuff...like this. Hmm. The best part about it for me is the woman. She looks to me like if they made WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE when Jane Hudson was in her early 30s and trying for a comeback---instead of waiting until she was much older.





SIREN OF BAGDAD:

Another auction item i should NEVER have bid on. It's in too rough of shape for me (now that I can see it on a larger screen besides my phone). This was from the same auction as the one above--but with rips and ...ugh. I'll re-sell this one soon.





A SWINGIN' SUMMER:

A BEACH PARTY knock off...withOUT Frankie & Annette. I love my BEACH PARTY movies (someone has to, right?) ---have all of the posters (of course) and a few of the other knock-offs...why not this one as well?


ONE SPY TOO MANY:

One of the many movies made from recycled MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. TV episodes and  released to theaters. Zowie! I have a foreign one (Australian?) but I think this is my first US one sheet. I've only ever seen one episode of THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. (guest starring Sonny & Cher as a fashion designer and a model!), but I do have the series on DVD and will watch it...eventually.



THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY:

Ahhh...the trouble with this poster is it is also one of the ones I bid on while without internet...and should have known better. The condition is too bad for my taste. I'll be getting rid of it. Oh well...





LOVE NEST:

Not in the best condition, but...this is my very first Marilyn Monroe one sheet (NOT counting re-releases and foreign re-releases for things like SOME LIKE IT HOT or ALL ABOUT EVE). Also bought during the same auction where I had to use my phone...although there are issues with it, I am thrilled to have it.

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...
