Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 140

February 02, 2017, 12:08:14 AM 



HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!

Did you see your shadow this morning? If you did, I believe that means you'll have 7 more weeks of great poster hunting. Hey! How fab! Happy groundhog Day!  Love any reason to celebrate...so why not celebrate Groundhog Day with a bonus post? And to get things started, we have...

GROUNDHOG DAY:

I saw this movie a long while back. i don't remember much other than the day kept being repeated over and over and over...but I wanted the poster because, for a while, I was posting posters with all holidays by my front door (NEW YEAR'S EVIL, MY BLOODY VALENTINE, HALLOWEEN, etc.) I needed a GROUNDHOG DAY!




CANNIBAL TERROR (Canadian):

Silly cannibal flick I saw sometime last year. It's awful...in a fun way. I like my cannibal flicks, but this one is laughable. Towards the end, deep in the remote jungle in the cannibal village, cars can be seen driving in the background. Ha! I'd love to have this poster in English, but don't think that will happen. So, I'll just stick with this Canadian poster in French.



HITLER'S LAST TRAIN (Canadian):

A Nazisploitation flick poster.... I could have done without it, but it was cheap. From Canada but in French.





SS EXPERIMENT CAMP (Canadian):

Along with the cannibal movie poster and the other Nazisploitation poster, I picked this up largely because it was cheap.




SWAMP GIRL:

Ferlin Husky? Who is he? He is featured in two other posters I have--LAS VEGAS HILLBILLIES and HILLBILLIES IN A HAUNTED HOUSE--but beyond that, i have no idea who he is. I got this poster largely because I recognize it as a Something Weird title. But I have never seen it.,





PLEASE DON'T EAT MY MOTHER:

I have one of these, but this was cheap and in really decent condition---sold!





BLOOD VOYAGE:

I knew NOTHING about this movie before buying this poster. I've since looked into it---not seen it, just read up on it--and it sounds like a big piece o' crap with more nudity than violence/blood shed. The reviews I've seen are mostly negative... But that is OKAY. I still think the poster art is incredible. That's why I bought it the instant I saw it. Zowie! It's so cool.




THE HAUNTED PALACE:

Yahoo!  I scored another of those wonderful old VINCENT PRICE / A.I.P. Poe horror posters. THE HAUNTED PALACE is a great poster and, in addition to Vincent Price, also features LON CHANEY and DEBRA PAGET. Awesome.




GREAT WHITE:

I already have a copy or two of this notorious JAWS rip-off (Universal sued over copyright infringement...and WON! I was lucky enough to see this in the theater the day before it was yanked from the theater). I didn't need to spend the money on this copy, but I couldn't let it go so cheap either.




JAWS 2 (Red Advance):

I already have a copy of this poster---but this one is in ultra pristine shape...C-9, according to Heritage Auctions...but that is the confusing part. This is a rarer form of JAWS 2 poster in c-9 tri-fold shape that I got for less than the one that sold on eMovie just before Thanksgiving (in not as nice shape as this one) that Heritage sold--not in their weekly auctions, but as a Buy It Now on eBay for less than I even paid for my other copy (also not in nearly as nice condition). WHAT!?! It had obviously just been posted---it had 29 days and many hours left to go. I didn't take a chance and just snagged it while the snagging was good. There were already several other "watchers". Not as rare as the other poster (with the artwork used on the soundtrack album of the shark coming up on the small sail boat with a young teen guy in the water and his panicked girlfriend in the boat), but still quasi-rare. Whoo hoo. I'm so thrilled to get this.





And now, go out and get your groundhog on!  (Whatever that might mean...).

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 Special Edition #1

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show . This is a special edition of the poster show. There are no new additions listed. This is about me trying to go through all of the rolled posters I did not have tucked away yet… And the disastrous mess it caused. Last spring, when I was recovering from my cancer surgery, I decided to go through all of the rolled posters I had in tubes that had not been tucked away into my flat files. Oh my God… What a foolish and disastrous undertaking this proved to be. (And I have the really awfully photographed documentation to prove it!) I soon had posters all over the place. In my living room in my TV room and in my dining room. There were posters everywhere. In addition to deciding, which posters to frame for future inclusion on my walls… As soon as I have some free wall, space… I purchased two of the poster-sized portfolios from Baroque Portfolios .  I threw in several posters. I knew these posters would never adorn my walls, because there’s only...

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...
