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

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 #17

  Welcome back…  This post is one of the weakest entries of late. That is saying a lot, as the previous entry was pretty bad. However, the next entry will be even more pathetic than this one. I’m winding down from my recent purchases… Finally. I can’t afford anything. But let’s take a look at when I have this time, shall we? This will be quick. SURGIKILL (special) : I’m not sure what this is. It’s only 9 1/2 x 8 1/2“ long. It is some promotional piece for Andy Milligan’s “ SURGIKILL”.  “SURGI-What!?! You’ve never heard of it, probably.  I do not know why, but I am an anti-Milligan aficionado. SURGIKILL Was one of his last movies. It went straight to  video. I caught it on DVD. It’s OK… Certainly nothing to write home about. But I couldn’t not get this piece. It is allegedly from Andy Milligan‘s estate…And was cheap. POLTERGEIST I I: Normally, I wouldn’t bother with sequel posters. But this was part of a lot. So why not? The movie itself… Not so good. THE SATAN B...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #16

Welcome back. As I write this, the very tail end of my recent poster-buying mania is coming to a close. Well, I still have to worry about auctions on Thursday of this week, it looks like I only have to worry about one poster. Whether or not I get it remains to be seen. However, at the moment, there are two posters in this post. I have one from recent auctions. One of them, the one that I am most displeased with winning, is fairly obvious. The other one, not so much. The one I may or may not win on Thursday? I think that will be obvious as well by what I intend to write about it should I win it, but we shall see. Can you figure out which posters I want in these last auctions before coming to my senses? Of the 10 title shown here two (or three) of them are from those final crazed auctions. TEENAGE COWGIRLS: What the hell was I thinking? On the tail end of my weird cancer buying spree (inspired by my seemingly surviving it—-although I’m not out of the woods yet—while two longtime friends ...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #14

  And welcome back… With this post, I am hopefully wrapping up all the posters I purchased in my recent mania. ( Actually, as I write this, there are still a few auctions out there. I have bids on that haven’t closed. While I doubt I’ll get anything, there’s always the worry that I will and that those purchases will spill over into another post. Eek!) As per my (sometimes) usual, I’ve got a lot of trash and a few treasures. I also have a very bad headache. So let’s get on with it already… VAN HELSING : This must’ve been a lot purchase. Although it’s based on a character. DRACULA , I had absolutely zero interest in seeing this movie. Zero. TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD (French) : I have long been a fan of the BLIND DEAD films . To my knowledge, only three of the four were released in the US and have one sheets. The first one, TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD , was released as just THE BLIND DEAD with a misleading poster image making it seem like a knockoff of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD .   RETUR...
