Happy February! Brrrr!!! No snow here, of course...but it has been mighty cold and WET!
This is a hodge podge post...of auction wins, leftovers from the emovie Black Friday sale, and more things from my dead friend's estate (see my January 15th post if you don't know what I am talking about)..
SPAWN:
I realize I have one of these already. This was an upgrade. I saw this flick in the theater...but think it might have been super hero-y...which may account for me remembering NOTHING of the movie. (Superhero flicks are a big turn off for me.) Anyway, another bargain hold over from the eMovie Black Friday sale (as is the one below).
HOW TO SUCCEED WITH GIRLS:
Here it is. At last, STEVE's life story on the silver screen. This just "looked interesting" and was a cheap bargain...so why not? Never saw the flick. eMovie Black Friday strikes again.
NOWHERE:
Another tidbit from Scott. No idea what this flick is though. Cheap.
THE WIZARD OF OZ (video):
I'm not usually a collector of video posters, but I figure the WIZARD OF OZ market is pretty big. I might be able to turn a buck or two down the road for this. From my friend Scott's collection.
THE WONDERFUL LAND OF OZ:
Another OZ-related poster (this time, an ultra-low budget kiddie matinee sequel that is beyond awful). Prepare yourself for this one. It's so packed with thrills "you'll be OZified!" Another from Scott.
TOBACCO ROODY:
Harry Novak's company, Box Office International, has a slew of these hillbilly-themed softcore nudies that played the drive-ins for years. Titles like "Sassy Sue", "Country Cuzzins", "The Pig-Keeper's Daughter", "Midnight Plowboy" and "Southern Comforts" and their respective ads in the newspaper, had me so curious as a kid as to what these movies were like. I saw a few years later on Something Weird Video and eventually started collecting the posters. I already have this one--as I found out just a week or so AFTER buying this when i started going through my old boxes of posters. I've never seen TOBACCO ROODY (the movie) though.
ANDY WARHOL'S FLESH (Australian):
I think I stated before I would love to get my hands on more of the ANDY WARHOL movie posters. This one for FLESH is very different than any I've seen before. it's Australian and at only $20 i thought it was too good of a deal to pass up. From Scott's estate.
CARRIE (British quad):
Forget the remakes (theatrical and TV), the original CARRIE is a classic. Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie truly deserved their Oscar nominations for their incredible performances. I already have the US one sheet, but this quad was different and cheap...so i went for it. This also turned out to be from Scott. A lot of his posters have escaped me--but that is okay as I've only bid minimal amounts on them. I just can NOT buy everything that was his...and, by now, I have way too much CARRIE. Ha! (Hmm... I wonder if, down the road, any of you will be saying things like "This was from Monster A GoGo's estate"? Creepy to think about...)
FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VIII: JASON TAKES MANHATTAN (Recalled advance):
I think I already have one, but it doesn't hurt having a spare. Isn't there supposed to be ANOTHER remake coming soon-ish?
FLESHPOT ON 42ND STREET:
OH MY STARS!!!! I am SO EXCITED about this one. I have been after a FLESHPOT ON 42ND STREET forever. I found this at some smaller auction online---thank God! If it had been anywhere else, I'd have paid a lot, LOT more for it. It's distributed/produced by William Mishkin (I have a collection of his posters---such a notoriously cheap/exploitive producer). Better yet, it was directed by the incomparable (and INCOMPETENT) Andy Milligan (director of such sleaze as TORTURE DUNGEON, THE RATS ARE COMING THE WEREWOLVES ARE HERE, and BLOODTHIRSTY BUTCHERS). A young Harry Reems (under a different alias and without the porn stache) is in this flick along with a bunch of nobodies. What a joy for me to get. Yahoo! And this turned out to be from Scott also--which I did NOT realize at the time I bought it. I am sure he would have wanted me to have this. He would ask now and again if I had scored one yet.
THE BRIDE AND THE BEAST:
I am mad at myself for this one. I paid too much for the condition it is in (but really, it's only the borders that look shabby)...but it's an ED Wood (written by) poster. Too many times these have slipped through my fingers. I just flipped a bit. Ooops. As Wilma and Betty used to say, "C-H-A-R-G-E it!" (Not a good habit to fall in to, but I have. Oh my...)
And now, let February happen! It's the month of love (and groundhogs). (But not necessarily together. EEEW!) Have a groovy time and enjoy it.
Stay warm!
CHEERS!
