Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 135

January 02, 2017, 01:16:55 AM 


It's after midnight. So what does that mean? It's now January 2nd...or JAN. the 2nd, if you will. What does that mean? It's FAKE JAN DAY! In honor of Geri Reischl, THE BRADY BUNCH VARIETY HOUR's "Fake Jan", people from all walks of life (well, those "in the know" at least) celebrate this most fake of holidays--FAKE JAN DAY! To salute Fake Jan Day 2017, here is a special BONUS post. Grab your cheeseballs (the official food of Fake Jan Day, because it is such a cheeseball holiday) and let's take a look! But as you do, see if you can spot the FAKE JANs as we move along.

Now, on to the special FAKE JAN DAY post:



THE CAPITAL HILL GIRLS:

Never heard of this adults only flick. So why did I buy it? Hello? 3D! I'm such a sucker for a gimmick...




SWINGTAIL:

Speaking of gimmicks and 3D (and suckers)... HA!




LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AND THE MONSTERS:

Oops! Here I am buying ANOTHER copy (for, unfortunately, a lot more than my first copy). It's an upgrade, as my other copy has a stamp on the back that bleeds through. I dig my kiddie matinee posters and I have all three of the Mexican LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD K. Gordon Murray kiddie matinee US posters. I know you'll think i am kidding, but I really LIKE them. Ha! (I'm sure the movies are atrocious though...)







HAUNTED: 

I'm not sure I ever saw this flick---which, by the cool poster, LOOKS interesting. I may have seen this a long time ago. But at the same time, I think I am confusing this film with something similarly titled called HAUNTS, which came out about the same time. That may be the one I saw. Whichever it was, it was sooooo dang boring. I don't remember anything about a phone booth in a cemetery...so maybe this IS worth tracking down? Hmm... anyone ever see this? What do you think?





THE BURNING:

THE BURNING was one of my first 15 or so posters. I still have my original copy, but the corners have pin holes and, I'm pretty sure, some missing paper. This is an upgrade.





THE JOYS OF JEZEBEL:

Ooooo. I've never seen the movie, but have long wanted the poster for it's wild, sexy and colorful art.






THE SPACE CHILDREN:

I've never seen this Jack Arnold directed sci fi flick, but with its giant brain (?) and all of the kids around it, it kind of makes me think of VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED...although i'm sure it's NOTHING like that. Cool image though.





ORGY OF THE GOLDEN NUDES (aka HONEYMOON OF HORROR):

First off, let me state that the image below is borrowed as I do not think Photobucket would host this image. Golly! I've wanted this poster  since seeing one for the first time for the last year or so---when another dealer had a copy. I tried to get that one, but it was snatched away at the last second. This time I put up a BIG snipe and...MINE! According to the research i did for this poster, it's a re-titling of something called HONEYMOON OF HORROR, which is supposed to be god-awful and tediously boring/incoherent. The ORGY version is supposed to have about 7 minutes of nudity (to make it less boring and incoherent, no doubt. Right, Steve?) that are absent from the HONEYMOON version...but the ORGY version appears to be "lost". (All possible copies are rumored to be in Australia somewhere though...)




BEYOND THE TIME BARRIER:

I thought ORGY OF THE GOLDEN NUDES was going to be my favorite poster of the post...but then I got this one. Ooooo--LOVE the futuristic art on this. The movie is hokey, but still kind of fun. Apparently this is a re-release poster. The original release was by some very small company (can't recall the name) and the poster art was completely different. AIP bought the picture and released it with all-new posters, and probably got it to far more theaters than the other company ever dreamed of getting to. Either way, it's a super cool poster (and it totally captures the look and feel of 2024. Ha!). Yowza!






And now go enjoy a cheeseball or two. Get your Fake Jan on. Have a fun day (or at least fake it).

HAPPY FAKE JAN DAY!

CHEERS!

Here is an extra special bonus post for FAKE JAN DAY 2017.  This first video is a quickie video of 4 more posters I have framed...including a peek at one I have NOT formerly shown anyone (and won't show until my next post on Friday the 13th!). 32 seconds. Watch or don';t:




This second one is my tribute to Fake Jan Day 2017...  A very AWFUL video in which I embarrass myself to NO END. EEEK! Dare you watch? Turn it down as I (gasp!) sing (off key) and then, just when you think it's over, I make an even BIGGER fool out of myself. O' the horror of it all.

Watch or don't (I vote for DON'T) (Turn your sound DOWN first if you do watch it. EEEK!).




CHEERS!

I'll be back with a BONUS POST on Friday the 13th. In the mean time, here's a mini-bonus post...something I won tonight on MoviePosterBid's movie poster auction (Thank you, Rich):

TOPAZ:

 It's a Hitchcock film, and I have heard of it, but have never seen it  Any good?



I'll see you on the 13th.

Cheers!

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...
