Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 125

November 01, 2016, 12:16:23 AM



Hi there! Did you survive Halloween? I hope so...

I am really, really running out of new stuff to post as you'll see in the lackluster posting below. (And I've been warning you this was gonna happen for weeks now...)

Let's take a look...


SINDBAD THE SAILOR:

Not to be confused with the Guy Williams movie of the same name (and the same unfortunate alternate spelling), this poster is for an animated adventure (which i've never seen). I picked this up just because I have almost every Sinbad movie poster (except the `1947 version with Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Were there any more I missed?).



SEX AND THE CITY (Style B):

What the heck is THIS doing in the Shock-A-Rama Poster Show?  I told you it was getting to be slim pickings around here...  Actually, if you must know. I liked/watched the TV series. I had heard the show was good from co-workers years ago while it was on, so (just like I do now because i do not watch TV / do not have cable) I bought the various season sets (having never seen the show) and watched them. Sure, it was a chick show (my first clue SHOULD have been it was the various women in my department at the newspaper that were the ones talking about it)...but since I had bought the entire series i stuck with it. It was entertaining. I did see both of the movies...eh. I wasn't impressed with either of them--but have a poster for each title i think. I got this one because it features the 4 main characters (and it was CHEAP). Did i need it? No. But it had been DAYS since my last poster fix (remember, most of these other posters below were purchased in August before I moved back to my house)....so....




THE BOYS NEXT DOOR:

Another film I have never seen, but always meant too, THE BOYS NEXT DOOR isn't quite a horror movie...but it's about two recent high school graduates (Maxwell Caulfield and Charlie Sheen) who kind of go a bit bonkers and go on a crime spree. I think. I've heard a lot of good things about this film and could kick myself as i always seemed to see this in the bargain bin at video stores back in the VHS era...and I NEVER picked it up. Oh well. Maybe I'll catch it some day...





THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL:

Yes, I DO already have one of these---gotten not so long ago. Why a second copy? This one appears to be in better shape than the one I scored before. I hope so. I've just GOT to sell some of my posters soon---I am THAT financially strapped. (No, i will NOT be selling my really good stuff. Just dupes and stuff i don't care about...).  I bought this in early August.





SEXUAL FANTASIES USA:

Gimmick Alert!  The first audience participation adult film? ESP-Erotic Sensation Profile? Ha!  I'm sure the "special device" everyone received was some slip of paper with a sexual point value thing or something like that. Ha!  Scam gimmick---but I had to have it. Another August purchase.





THAR SHE BLOWS:

I'm a sucker for those Something Weird-esque nudies (like THE EROTIC ADVENTURES OF ZORRO or TRADER HORNEE). I should have let it go, but....THAR SHE BLOWS!



DELIRIUM:

I've never seen DELIRIUM; don't think I've ever heard of it. However, to me, this poster is NOT DELIRIUM. Instead, if you've ever seen Something Weird's presentation of the never theatrically released MONSTER AT CAMP SUNSHINE, you'll recognize the poster art for DELIRIUM used for the CAMP SUNSHINE art work. (This was paired with THE BEAST THAT KILLED WOMEN on DVD---such a wild and awesome combo! Nudist camp horrors! Ha!)




ARABIAN ADVENTURE (English one sheet):

I've heard good things about this film and someday I would like to track it down. I have the US one sheet---but have always dug the English version. Do I have this already? I don';t think so... Hmm.Drat it! I DO own one already. i was just reviewing my thread and there, towards the beginning, is this same poster. ARGH! More wasted money buying a duplicate... Oh well.




DEVIL AT 4 O'CLOCK:

It's the early 60s disaster epic with Frank Sinatra and Spencer Tracy. I had never even heard of this flick until i caught the tail end of it playing in a tiki bar. Wow! Love my disaster flicks--and two classic stars. I already have a copy of this. This is just an upgrade.





GOLDFINGER and DR. NO (re-release combo):

Speaking of upgrades, this is the 3rd copy of this poster I've purchased. I think i FINALLY have one I can be happy with. I now have all of the one sheets from all of the Bond films (Dr. No thru On Her Majesty's Secret Service are the 80s re-release versions however). Whoo hoo!





JUNGLE MOON MEN:

Whoo hoo (again)...at last!  My first Jungle Jim poster. After he was deemed too old to play Tarzan (how rude...) and was replaced in the role by Lex Barker, Johnny Weismuller found new life as jungle adventurer Jungle Jim in a series of movies. I've never seen them (I haven't seen a lot of stuff surprisingly), but as a fan of the Tarzan films, I have wanted to include these posters. This one sounds fun. Moon men? Zowie!



And that's all for now.  You have survived the horrors of Halloween. Get ready though...election day is coming! That actually sounds like it could be VERY scary this year.  EEEK!

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 #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...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #11

Welcome back. Now that the James Bond stuff is out of the way (see my last post), I can trudge to some B-movie stuff. A lot of this stuff came from lot purchases. I have a lot of these posters already, and have shared them in previous posts. Not all of the posters from the various lot purchases will be shared. Don’t panic. I’ve just decided to share these as a way to look back at these B-flicks and reflect on them a bit. THE MEPHISTO WALTZ: This was an early movie in the 70s satanic panic cycle, that was started with ROSEMARY’S BABY in the mid 60s. If you haven’t seen it, you’re not really missing much. What I do remember most from the commercials was a dog with a human head. Imagine my annoyance when it just turned out to be a dog with a mask on its head that someone placed on it as a joke. There was no “human headed” dog in the plot. Alan Alda I identify so much with being Hawkeye on M*A*S*H, that it’s hard to see him in this movie. At least for me, this is an instance where it’s har...
