Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 153* #

Happy Easter!

In addition to finding baskets and bunnies and hunting for Easter eggs, it's also BONUS POST DAY!

Now come sit next to me while we take a look at the posters:



LOLLIPOP PALACE:

I know NOTHING about the movie behind this poster other than it stars John Holmes and someone with the awesome name of BUNNY SAVAGE! I don't know why I bothered to buy this, but... take a lick, er...LOOK anyway. An eBay find (hence the watermark of the seller).




HONEYMOON OF HORROR:

A while back I had gotten a one sheet for something called ORGY OF THE GOLDEN NUDES or something like that. ORGY is a "lost" film, but this one, HONEYMOON OF HORROR, is NOT lost. It IS the edited (and more widely seen) version of ORGY, minus several minutes of nudity, apparently. It's supposed to be god awful regardless. BUT, since I had ORGY, I went ahead and snagged this one as well.





MY AMITYVILLE HORROR:

I have posters for ALL of the AMITYVILLE theatrical releases and all of the direct-to-video releases up through AMITYVILLE DOLLHOUSE. This is a documentary flick about one of the kids who lived through the alleged haunting in the 70s, all grown up with issues of his own today. I've been trying to snag one of these---just as a completist since it came out. Now i have one.




DEATHHEAD VIRGIN:

No idea about this flick...but the poster image was too wild to ignore. SOLD!




CARRY ON SPYING:

Not nearly as nice as John's (Test1) British quads, but as a fan of James Bond flicks, I've been after this poster for a while.




FLASH GORDON (Advance):

Also something I've been wanting to snag for a long while...consider it snagged. Go, Flash! GO!




DANGER: DIABOLIK:

I've heard of this, but have (gasp!) NEVER seen it. Is it James Bond-y? Worth a look? Hmm.

.


CAT GIRL:

Golly, yet ANOTHER poster for a flick I've never seen. (This could almost be my poster collection for unseen movies post...With the exceptions of MY AMITYVILLE HORROR and FLASH GORDON, i have NOT seen any of these.) I've seen this poster around, and have always coveted it. Sleek, sexy, yet creepy at the same time. How's the movie?




SIROCCO:

Here is a recent "dumb move" buy. This was a complete LAST MINUTE purchase. Again, i know nothing (I hear those audible gasps of shock and disbelief out there...) about this Humphrey Bogart movie. The poster is in bad shape around the edges, but the actual image looks pretty decent. With only minutes to go, i bid, thinking that a poster with Bogart, even in the shape this was in, would go for bigger dollars than i paid for it. It was only after the moment came and went and the poster was mine that i had time to properly research it. OOPS! I could have had a very nice copy in much better shape for only a little more than i paid for this. Oh well. CASABLANCA this ain't, apparently. Ha!




COMEDY OF TERRORS:

What!?! Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff and Basil Rathbone all together on one poster? Zowie! How could I NOT go for this? (Also how could I NOT have seen this before?) AIP horror and humor with classic, yet fading, horror superstars. You gotta love it.




I hope your day is HOPPY! Happy Easter...and thank you for looking!



CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023: #10

Welcome back! I certainly did NOT expect to have any further posts with new purchases this 2023 calendar year, but here we are. Granted, most of these are holdover purchases from my temporary poster-buying insanity in October. I’d expected those to be the foundation for whatever post I kicked off the new year with. But now? I had a few more pick ups… Why hold back? Let’s send 2023 out with a real BANG! Christmas came a little early this year. Uh oh… The lights are dimming. Take your seats. Let’s see what I have for you this time… GIRL IN GOLD BOOTS:  Not a great poster, but one I’ve been after for a while. This flick is an exploitationer from legendary B man Ted V. Mikels (CORPSE GRINDERS, ASTRO-ZOMBIES, BLOOD ORGY OF THE SHE-DEVILS, etc.). I saw it years ago. I don’t remember much other than that there is a girl (who wears gold go-go boots) who is a dancer (and maybe sings?) and is somehow involved in the criminal underworld. Like a lot of Mikels’ films…it doesn’t leave an indelible m

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #9

  Welcome! Get your tickets and take your seat.The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is about to begin. I am still disabled and only getting worse…yet, uh, um…I’m spending money on my ADDICTION to posters that I really have NO BUSINESS doing. Why? Because I am STUPID. (But I LOVE staring at them…) Waaaaagh! Anyway—-my stupidity is your viewing pleasure (or however you want to term it…).  Here we go… THE LADY IN THE MORGUE (1942 RE-RELEASE) : This isn't something that I'd usually buy. I've never seen this old mystery/whodunit flick. Despite this being a re-release poster (The original, with completely different art, hails from 1938.), I decided to go ahead and buy this 81-year-old gem for several reasons. I like the monster-ish hands reaching in at the couple. I dig the purple/green color scheme. The old school font is awesome...and one of its co-stars is Barbara Pepper, who brilliantly played Mrs. Ziffel (Arnold the pig's "mom") on GREEN ACRES. Ha! The most important r

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #8

  And, what!?! We're B-A-C-K!!! That was...quick. (It just seems that way as I delayed the previous post until I finished my write up on my Something Weird Video adrventure, which I had linked to the page. I've already been working on this one for several weeks.) Truth be told, though, about half of these became mine in a 12 hour period. It is no secret that I am now disabled. I live on a VERY modest income with very little in the bank to fall back on. There is a saying, "You can't take it with you." There should also be a saying that says "You can't enjoy it if you don't have it." That seemed to have been my mindset during a recent eMovieposter auction. Despite the fact that everything was on linen--there were so many titles I wanted. Things were fairly cheap...until the very end. But... Geez! Dipping into my meager savings was... EXTREMELY STUPID and FOOLISH.  But, it happened. Let's take a look: PRO BALL CHEERLEADERS: What the hell is this
