Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 134

January 01, 2017, 12:42:57 AM





Happy New Year and...ARGH!  This is my 2nd attempt at making this post. Just as I was finishing up the 1st attempt, I somehow DELETED it. GRRR! (Now i have to figure out which posters were on here and which I've already posted. OOOPS!)

THE GIRLS FROM THUNDER STRIP:

I don't know if I am thrilled to get this or not. I can't tell if the art is cool or CREEPY. Those heads, especially the one on the left, are so big with big eyes. Weird....




WIZARDS:

Something else I didn't really need. Joy... But I did see the flick. Bakshi (sp?) is collectible, no?





DEATH BED:

This strange little curio has been on my radar for a while...but I always seem to miss it. NOT this time. MINE!  Now to track down the movie. Is this any good? Death Bed...sounds like mine. I always seem to have trouble falling asleep (like now... It's late and I can't sleep. So I'm having a glass of whiskey and typing these descriptions again.... Joy... NOT!)





DRACULA SUCKS:

Speaking of curios, here is an X-rated Dracula movie starring golden age porn stars like John Leslie, Annette Haven, John Holmes, Kay Parker...and Reggie Nalder. What???  Nalder, star of THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, MARK OF THE DEVIL, and SALEM'S LOT appears (in a --thank god--non-porno role) as a Van Helsing-type role.  This was filmed at Scotty's Castle in the Mojave Desert and re-released in an edited R-rated version as LUST AT FIRST BITE.





THE HOLY MOUNTAIN (Japanese B2):

I love Alejandro Jordowosky. He is one of my all-time favorite directors, based on only three films alone; EL TOPO, HOLY MOUNTAIN and --my favorite--SANTA SANGRE.  I recently got a German EL TOPO poster and I have a video poster for SANTA SANGRE (which I prefer to the theatrical US version....but if I were able to snag one, I'd still buy it.). So I am thrilled to FINALLY score some paper for HOLY MOUNTAIN--a super psychedelic surreal movie that has to be seen to be believed. It's freakin' bizarre yet AWESOME.





OUT OF SIGHT:

Groovy, baby. I've never seen this flick but have long coveted this poster, which features a super duper custom car created by George Barris (creator of the 60's Batmobile, the Munster Koach, and other swell cars). I've never seen this flick, but it looks like a James Bond beach movie. Kowabunga!




FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH (Thai):

This I bought from PHIL (aka OcularBeing) right here on the website in the For Sale section. (Thank you!!!!) I am broke and really need to curb my poster spending this year. BUT, I saw this posted and somebody (I think it was MIKE aka MWRIGHT) who had posted a copy of the Thai FAST TIMES on my thread (and, much like TED's posting of THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE HUNTERS inspired me to get THAT poster when he posted it on my thread). I went for it. I ended 2016 with a doozy...that i HOPE photobucket does NOT censor. Ha!




LEGEND OF THE WOLF WOMAN:

I do not know this movie, but I liked the poster. It's very colorful. Is the film any good? A true story so brutal and horrifying it was kept from the public for over a century...and kept from me even longer! Yowza!





THE MUMMY'S CURSE (British quad 70's re-release):

Not the prettiest of posters...hmm. This 70's British quad re-release for THE MUMMY'S CURSE is less than stunning--far less.But with so little paper on the Universal monsters, I'll take it.




FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN (British quad 60s re-release):

Another less-than-stellar British quad re-release, this time from the 60s. I'll take it because it's a Universal monster flick...but the design is very disappointing. The US re-releases were far more interesting...and that usually isn't necessarily the case. Oh well... Que sera sera. No one asked me for my input.






Okay--thanks for popping by and having a look. HAPPY NEW YEAR and may 2017 be the YEAR you get THAT poster you have been after the longest.



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
