Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 128

December 01, 2016, 12:55:44 AM



Oh my stars!  How did it get to be December already? Another year is coming to a close... Man! That went by soooo fast.

As we gear up for the holidays (eeek! I have NOT even started THINKING about them yet...), here is a look at 10 recent acquisitions. Yes, they are less than stellar. Hello? If you saw my last post, you'll know how much $$ I spent recently...and how much I can NOT afford right now. OUCH! Anyway, here are this posting's mediocre posters.


HAIRSPRAY (French small affiche):

Different style of the John Waters hit movie's poster. And cheap... (which is a key factor right now).



DEATH DRIVER:

Here's yet another poster I should have passed up. DEATH DRIVER? Who ever heard of that? I hadn't...but this was a movie by Earl Owensby. I have been collecting Owensby's string of low-budget, regional 3D titles from the 80's. This is NOT one...but it was only $4 or $5. Eh.



GIDGET GOES TO ROME:

Being a fan of the Frankie & Annette Beach Party movies, getting a GIDGET poster was inevitable. No, they are not the same series, but they sort of have the same spirit---especially the first GIDGET movie (the success of which may have inspired the BEACH PARTY series). This is my first GIDGET poster. I know--snore. But I dig it. And so does Moondoggy.



HELLRAISER: DEADER:

I could swear I just got one of these not too long back---but i do not see any record of it. No big deal. YES, this IS a video poster--not a one sheet. There was no one sheet for this as it never got a theatrical release. This is a case of if you want a poster you'll have to settle for a video release poster. It's your only option. This is one of the dreadful direct-to-video sequels, but I figured that I already have the posters for the first four films, I might as collect the rest of them. Whatever... (It was only $4).



HERCULES:

I already have the poster for this 80s HERCULES remake starring Lou Ferrigno. It was part of a lot with another poster I wanted.



STARCRASH:

This wacky STAR WARS-inspired space epic is sooooo cheesy. Ha! I already have a copy (or two or three) of this poster. Like the HERCULES poster above, it was part of a lot with another poster I wanted.



ALIEN CONTAMINATION:

This ALIEN rip-off is hard to find. I had been looking for one forever. I found this one and was the ONLY bidder, so I got it cheap (along with the other two posters --HERCULES and STARCRASH--above). Only $14.99. Yahoo. Have I even seen this movie? Zowie! I don't even know...



SNAKE BUSTERS:

Where you gonna crawl? Snake Busters...uh huh. I get it. The obvious "Ghostbusters" riff. Hmm. The 80s release appears to be of a 70s Asian flick involving snakes. Also knows as SNAKE QUEEN, it was just different/silly enough to snag. Never seen one before. Sssssss...



KILLER SNAKES:

Speaking of snakes, based on the credits (and not the poster art), this looks like another Asian import...but it's rather curious. A killer snake movie that is X rated?! Zowie!  There must be more than one kind of "snake in the grass" in this one! Ha!  And of course I love the blurb in the warning box: "WARNING: Extreme fear of snakes (ophidiophia) can cause severe shock! IF YOU FEAR SNAKES: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SEE THIS MOVIE. We CANNOT be responsible for what might happen."



AWAKENING OF THE BEAST (Brazilian):

Oh my stars! Another thing I could not afford, but was not about to let slip through my fingers... This is another of the early COFFIN JOE movies from Brazil circa the early 70s. The Coffin Joe character is featured on the left, in the top hat, clutching the girl. This means NOTHING to any of you---but I am a fan and I am beyond excited! While not as iconic as the original Coffin Joe flicks (AT MIDNIGHT I'LL TAKE YOUR SOUL and THIS NIGHT I'LL POSSESS YOUR CORPSE), but still a Coffin Joe flick. Yowza! I was the ONLY bidder. Yahoo!



Okay...Black Friday has come and gone...and so has Cyber Monday. There are only 24 more shopping days until Christmas. OMG!  Get busy!

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...
