Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 116

September 24, 2016, 04:09:03 PM


Here are more posters from the first box. Ugh. There has to be a better/more efficient/easier way to do this. This batch gets me halfway through the first box,,, I still have all of the other posters inside the box to go through, plus all of the ones in the other boxes/tubes/etc. ugh.


PUFNSTUF

I think/hope I have another copy in a frame somewhere. Fun live-action movie based on the Sid & Marty Kroft series. With special guest stars Mama Cass Elliot and Martha Raye!



JEEPERS CREEPERS:
The first film in the series---and the best. Too bad the poster wasn't better. Oh well.




DOCTOR DOLITTLE:

In poor condition and very lackluster design, I'll get ride of this....




THE MONKEY'S UNCLE:

Classic Disney with Tommy Kirk and Annette Funicello. And a special appearance by the Beach Boys!





JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY

Who doesn't have one of these?




THE LAST SURVIVOR:

Also known as LAST CANNIBAL WORLD, JUNGLE HOLOCAUST, I'm pretty thrilled to have the US one sheet for this early entry in the Italian cannibal subgenre.



THE TEMPTER:

I love my EXORCIST ripoffs, but this one was pretty awful. Even the poster ultimately has nothing to do with the actual movie. Oh well.




DIAL M FOR MURDER (80s re-release):

Never got to see this in 3D but I do remember that, as a kid, it was going to be showing in the afternoon on TV (in 2D) and I wanted to see it so bad, so I skipped school! Ha!




AT THE EARTH'S CORE:

Cool art work for such a cheesy/fun movie.




SWORD AND THE SORCERER:

Fun sword and sandal adventure from the early 80s.




THE FUN HOUSE:

This is a rare one I am thrilled to have. This is the original release for a movie that is better known as LAST HOUSE ON DEAD END STREET. Originally called THE CUCKOO CLOCKS OF HELL, this is an underground cult classic horror flick that is not for everyone. The LAST HOUSE title is clearly intended to riff off of LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT.




THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE:

This 80s 3D movie was such a notorious bomb. It came and played only week in my town before disappearing forever. I never got to see it. ARGH! I'm sure it sucks, but...





THE WILD, WILD WORLD OF JAYNE MANSFIELD:

I hope I have another copy of this. I LOVE this movie. It is brilliant in that it seems to utilize home movies and other creative uses of Jayne (even a stand in at some points) Jayne remembers events that are shown...and clearly Jayne is no where to be seen. Lots of nudie filler towards the end...the whole mess is narrated by Jayne (NOT...although she says she is Jayne). Its a weird brilliant movie pieced together AFTER her death. Wow!





THE SEDUCTION:

This was supposed to have been Morgan Fairchild's breakout into movie stardom. It's total trash....and Morgan is now famous for just being Morgan Fairchild. No acting required.





SHARK'S TREASURE:

Post JAWS knock-off to an extent. Fun artwork.





GUYANA CULT OF THE DAMNED:

Sleazy little exploitation flick based on the Jones Town cult mass suicide...but strangely cult leader Jim Jones is called something else, Ha!





DYNASTY:

3D martial arts film poster....gotta love the gimmicks.





THE CASSANDRA CROSSING: 

Late entry in the disaster genre of the 70s, this euro-flick is a long, convoluted mess...with an impressive all-star cast that includes Sophia Loren, Burt Lancaster, OJ Simpson, Lee Strausberg. Martin Sheen, Richard Harris and Ava Gardner.





WAR GODDESSES:

Wow! Wow! Wow!





MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY:

Better known as CANNIBAL FEROX, this is the US one sheet for this cannibal classic. EEEW! Its a harrowing tale. Not for the faint of heart...





PSYCHO II:

I may be the only person on the planet to say this, but I really LIKED PSYCHO II. It was much better than Part 3 or 4.





FIRESTARTER:

Stephen King---not nearly as good as the book, but what else is new?





THE LEGACY:

This is one of the first dozen or so posters I ever had. I got another copy not so long back (July or so). Kind of a dumb movie---but it somehow lured Katherine Ross, Sam Elliot and Roger Daltry into the mix.




SON OF BLOB:

If only I had the original BLOB...oh well. I also have the alternate title BEWARE THE BLOB somewhere with different art.





FOOD OF THE GODS:

I saw this movie as a kid and loved it. Wow! The artwork is pretty decent as well.





EMPIRE OF THE ANTS:

Bert I. Gordon's follow up to FOOD OF THE GODS was, in my opinion, kind of fun. Joan Collins plays a glamorous real estate con artist who takes a bunch of suckers out to a planned vacation community on a private yacht. It's all a scam of course...but it's also home of these giant mutated ants!  Yikes!!!



BREATHLESS:

I'm not sure why I felt the need to get this. It was just okay to me---but I did love the wild plaid pants Richard Gere wore. Ha!





DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE:

Silly Euro-horror film that has long been a guilty pleasure of mine.




TERROR IN THE JUNGLE:

I got another copy of this not too long back.  If you ever get a chance to see this movie--DO. It's awesome. ...And you only need to watch the first half hour. After that--turn it off. The first 30 minutes really make the movie. It's like a wonderful tacky spoof of the AIRPORT movies...before the AIRPORT movies existed. LOVE IT!





FANTASTIC INVASION OF PLANET EARTH:

Re-release title for THE BUBBLE, this movie has some of the best 3D effects ever---even if it's just shoving cheap-o monster gloves in your face. I particularly remember the tray of beer that floated out to the audience, That was cool.




HELLO MARY LOU: PROM NIGHT II:

The PROM NIGHT franchise does a complete overhaul on itself with this ghost girl haunting (very much inspired by A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET)




PIPPI IN THE SOUTH SEAS:

I remember when these movies came out when I was a kid. I never got to see them at the time, but loved the books on which they were based. Eventually I did catch all four flicks (culled from a Scandinavian TV series based on the books--which explains why the kids don't age much). I thought I'd track down the posters. I know I have a few...just not sure which ones I am missing.




WHEN TIME RAN OUT:

Irwin Allen's last big screen disaster movie flop-a-rama. Its still campy fun.




CRY BABY:

I'm a John Waters fan (moreso his older stuff, but...). Had to get a CRY BABY.





AMITYVILLE 3D:

3D thrills and chills. I saw this in the theater in 3D....it didn't work that well for me.





TREASURE OF THE FOUR CROWNS:

Euro-Indiana Jones wanna be in 3D. I saw it at least twice in the theater for the 3D...but every time i see the flick i only count 3 crowns. Where is the 4th?




METALSTORM: THE DESTRUCTION OF JARED SYN:

More confusing and lame 80s 3D. I saw this on a 3D double bill with JAWS 3D. Ha!





CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC:

Oh my stars!  One of the biggest box office flops of all time! CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC is wonderfully awful. I love it. You've got the cheesy Village People, Steve Guttenberg, Valerie Perrine, and Caitlyn Jenner long before she had any surgeries and still looked like his Olympian, Wheaties-eating self.




SPACEHUNTER: ADVENTURES IN THE FORBIDDEN ZONE:

Another 80s 3D flick that played for weeks...and yet i somehow failed to get to see it. GRRR.




EYEBALL:

Cool poster...but there is another version I want with this cloaked figure holding a girl. He has his hand extended and he is holding an eyeball in it. Zowie! Never saw the flick though.



And that brings me top the halfway point of the first box. UGH. There are sooooo many posters left to wade through. Any ideas on how to make it easier?  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...
