Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 154

April 19, 2017, 08:43:43 AM


Mini-BONUS Post time! (Only a few items left before my summer sabbatical...):

A DATE WITH DEATH:

I'm a sucker for a gimmick. PSYCHORAMA was a cool gimmick that used subliminal imagery to create scares, feelings of dread, happiness, etc. (I heard it disappeared because it was banned--fear that using subliminal suggestions like this would lead to making people do things they wouldn't normally do...or maybe it just gave people a headache?) There were TWO movies that used this process; MY WORLD DIES SCREAMING (re-released under the better title with a better poster as TERROR IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE) and this flick, A DATE WITH DEATH. Like a lot of other movies I have posters for, I have NOT seen either flick. I've had chances to, but I am waiting to HOPEFULLY see them in TRUE PSYCHORAMA some day (Rhino released a version with fake psychorama back in the vhs era.Ha!) Anyway, with this poster, I've gotten one sheets for both films (including the HAUNTED HOUSE re-titling). I am more or less done with this poster quest...unless i come across a half sheet or 3 sheet for TERROR IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE. Why? Because the half sheet and three sheet make mention of the PSYCHORAMA gimmick. The one sheet (which I have hanging in my hallway--and LOVE) sadly, does NOT.



CHEERS!

Here's a BONUS mini-post...just for you:

THE FOG (advance--remake):

Crappy movie. This was a free bonus poster when I bought something else. Whoopie...




CHEERS!

Here's another BONUS mini-post (and I am soooo running out of posters to use...):

3D FILM FESTIVAL:

Okay, so this is NOT your typical movie poster... Being the gimmick junkie that I am, I couldn't resist this poster which is advertising many 3D films, several of which I am not familiar with (and need to put on my list of posters to find down the road...). I wish I had been able to go to the festival. Old school 3D was literally in-your-face awesome and fun.  I'm a little worried this might be a fake as, guess who has one for sale on his eBay site (tloce). I did NOT buy this from him. I got it from someone else. But that someone else COULD have gotten his copy from tloce. UGH! OR it may be legit from some festival. I bought this BEFORE I saw tloce had one. Hmm.



CHEERS!

Here is another mini-bonus posting, possibly/probably my LAST mini-bonus posting for months to come. I have two more full-sized postings coming your way (A bonus posting April 30th and my usual beginning of the month post on May 1st)---and then that will be it at least until the fall...if not longer!  This mini-post is the LAST of my "extra" posters that did not make it in to the final two upcoming posts:


LOST HIGHWAY (British quad):

David Lynch. One of my faves (if not my favorite fave). Interesting yet weird movie.



FORTUNE AND MEN'S EYES:

This may never end up in a post of mine---not even a mini-bonus post. Why? Because I had no idea what i was buying once again. Not long back I bought a poster for some movie starring SAL MINEO ("Who Killed Teddy Bear" or something like that). I'll never be able to afford anything JAMES DEAN...so I figured I'd get a few Sal Mineo items. Except for a Planet of the Apes film, I have NEVER seen Sal Mineo in anything---NOT even (gasp! He MUST be kidding!) REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE (No, i'm NOT kidding--I've never seen it). I looked him up and saw mention of FORTUNE AND MEN'S EYES (that also starred, amazingly, a very young Don Johnson apparently). When i stumbled on this poster, it was cheap and I grabbed it. OOPS! I told you I know nothing of the movie. Apparently Sal Mineo (or Don Johnson) didn't either. They are NOT in it. What they were in was a PLAY version. D'OH!. Apparently this is some gay prison roughie melodrama? No fun there. I'm sure "OZ" it ain't.




BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (2017 teaser):

I have NO interest in the movie. I did for a moment...and then didn't. But in that moment, I got this teaser. Nice poster---but now i have no interest in the film. Ha!



Okay, that's it for now. Thanks for visiting.

CHEERS!

Although I THOUGHT I had posted everything left that did NOT make it into my final post (May 1st), I just discovered this one. I think I forgot about it because the photo was so poor. So... BONUS MINI-POST time:


MOUNTAINTOP MOTEL MASSACRE:

This 80s slasher is so obscure, for the longest time I thought it was a direct-to-video piece o' crap. NOPE. It DID have a theatrical release. I know it is really difficult to make out in this horrid photo, but this IS the theatrical poster. I remember seeing the flick in the video store--but never bothered (thinking, as I said, that it was straight-to-video junk). However, running across this photo made me want to see it. So I found a cheap double-feature DVD on ebay (the other feature is the largely forgotten 80s slasher THE INITIATION. which I do remember playing in the theaters---but never bothered to see either) and ordered it. I'm NOT expecting much, but wouldn't it be wonderful if it turns out to be a wonderful little gem? Hmm.



Okay--now I REALLY am out of posters. Check back May 1st for my last post-a-go-go!  Thanks for the chat.

CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #5

  And I'm back... This, I think, will be my final post of new posters. I had a few leftover posters from last time...and got others to fill out this post and get this done. I can't afford anything anymore and really, with my diminishing health, I should STOP collecting.  TANYA'S ISLAND: This was a cheap grab. I've never seen the movie, but have long wanted this poster. It's so doofy looking. This movie has been on my radar since its release--and it is amazingly hard to find. (As I said, I have NOT seen it yet.) From what I understand, it's basically KING KONG, but with a normal-sized ape (aka man in a bad moneky suit--based on the pictures I've seen) and a bit naughtier. (Hence the R-rating.) D.D. Winters is better known as Vanity, Prince's protegee back in the 80s. She apparently spends a good deal of the time naked. It's supposed to be bad. (No surprise.) I'd still like to see it. HOT DOG: THE MOVIE: I don't know why I bought this. I'm...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #4

  Hello. Welcome back. Today's offerings are...rather unexciting for the most part. As I've said many times before, my poster-buying power has been greatly diminished. I fear my post-buying days are wrapping up, too. The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show may be finally coming to a close in the near future. For now though, here's the latest of what I have to share with you today: KING FRAT: This was a fairly cheap poster--but supposedly rather rare? But really, it's not much to look at. I bought it because... I remember when this obscurity came out. Although I never saw it, it appeared to be some low-rent ANIMAL HOUSE wannabe. I was always curious... I bought it on disk (with THE CHEERING SECTION) on a clearance sale for old CODE RED products. (I guess that company went out of business?) I haven't watched it yet as I read the disk was taken directly from two very badly worn VHS sources. Oh well. I'll get to it someday. Maybe. The poster will go in a drawer. Whoopie... STA...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2021 #11

  Hi! Welcome to the 11th--and possibly LAST--- Shock-O-Rama Poster Show of the year --at least for several months. I'm busy packing for a move and up to my armpits in posters. (Details below.) UGH! I mean, I may buy more...but I don't have the time, money, and I want to be done with poster packing. Speaking of which, you may notice there is more than my usual 10 posters. Instead of holding back posters for some future posting (which may not be for months--if ever. My health issues keep rearing their ugly heads.), I'm posting everything I've gotten since last time. Take a peek or don't. I'm not feeling so well, which explains my rush to get this posted and the use of some online photos to illustrate today's posting. I'm going to go lay down. (Don't mind me...) Go ahead and take in the show: SHARKWATER EXTINCTION: I love the JAWS flicks, the rip-offs, and bad shark movies in general. This looks like it's probably a documentary--not a bad shark mov...
