Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 132

December 25, 2016, 01:23:53 AM 



Happy ho-ho-holidays! I hope Santa was extra-special nice to you and brought you all of the exciting posters you've been dreaming of all year long. Here are a few goodies I unwrapped...



DEATHSTALKER II:

Since the posters are kind of like Hercules posters, I decided to track down the 4 DEATHSTALKER posters (1-4). Only the first movie was actually released in theaters. The sequels were direct to video...or so I thought. I got a DEATHSTALKER II video release poster...and then stumbled on this one. A theatrical release? SOLD! Never seen any of the movies either...they probably suck.





BEACH GIRLS AND THE MONSTER:

Call it a bash! Call it a ball!  Call it a blast!  Call it an oops, i really didn't need a 2nd copy!  I like this poster--a lot. I somehow found myself bidding on it--even though I already have one...and now I have two. Ouch!  Wish I had saved the $$$.




ZOMBIETHON:

Speaking of direct to video, this is an old VHS era poster for Wizard Video's zombie flick "best of" compilation video, utilizing scenes from things like ZOMBIE, ZOMBIE LAKE, OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES, etc. Just seeing the movies by themselves is better...but I have always dug this poster. SCORE!




BAD SANTA:

Ho-Ho-Ho... Yes, Santa is hanging out with three skeezy 'ho"s and is in a drunken stupor once again. Such is the basic premise of BAD SANTA (minus the "ho"s maybe). Not the best Christmas movie--or even a classic. BUT...it inspired a sequel (REALLY?--yep. See below...) and a Christmas posting has to have some sort of Christmas poster...right?




BAD SANTA 2:

Hmm. This was cheap and, of the two designs I've seen, this one is the preferred (over a close up of Billy Bob passed out on a bar). Ho ho ho-hum... We'll see if the movie is any good or not (and how many years has it been since the first one?)...however, I think it came and left already and FLOPPED. Ha!







THE 27TH DAY:

I know nothing about this movie...just have long loved the poster...which always has gone high and escaped my grasp. Cool poster. Is the flick any good?





THE LEECH WOMAN:

No, this is NOT the story of your ex-wife. I never saw this flick, but have coveted the poster for a while. It's always slipped out of my hands...until NOW.








BRIDES OF BLOOD:

FINALLY!  After years of searching and trying to get one, i finally have the poster for the first film in the BLOOD ISLAND series. I have MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND and BEAST OF BLOOD and various other BLOOD titles that Hemisphere Pictures tried to pass off as sequels or related films (HORROR OF THE BLOOD MONSTERS, BRAIN OF BLOOD, etc.). The poster art is poorly done--but screams out exploitation gem!  Zowie! I'm thrilled with this. (Although I paid far more than I should have...)




THE HOUSE OF USHER:

Ooooo, I am digging this. Classic Vincent Price in the best of the AIP Edgar Allan Poe adaptations. Doesn't the poster art, with it's white tunnel leading down from the surface, look like it inspired the poster art for 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE? Whatever---I am thrilled with this.




ONE MILLION YEARS B.C.:

Oh my STARS!!!  I never thought I'd be fortunate to land one of these. It's Raquel Welch and her prehistoric fur bikini in ONE MILLION YEARS B.C.  Zowie! I've been after one of these since i was a kid. Yahoo!




MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!



Now go away!  Be with your families! Enjoy yourself! Ho ho ho! (I'm working today anyway... waaaagh!)

CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: Special Edition #1

  Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. This edition is a bit different. As you may know, with certain exceptions that may come my way, I've by and large stopped buying posters. This post isn't about new posters. Instead it is about my first experiencing linenbacking posters.  If you've read any of my posts before, you will know that I am NO FAN of linenbacked posters. However, as my collecting days were slowing/coming to an end, getting things on linen seemed to be the only way I'd be ever able to enjoy certain posters if I wanted them. I now have several linenbacked posters in my collection. I'm about to have four more... I am still working through a move I made 2 years ago. I am trying to get  my poster collection organized in some sort of manner. I am still going through boxes and tubes, trying to frame them or add them to my flat file drawers (or set them aside for either auction or to donate to thrift stores). During one such effort to (stupidly) pull...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: Special Edition #2: The Best of 2024

Well, 2024 is coming to a close. It's time once again to go through the year's purchases and touch on the favorites I picked up through the year. This was a light year for purchases for me--and next year I expect will be even more sparse, if there are any at all. But I was able to eek out 10 (actually 11) faves for 2024 and here they are: (Honorable Mention) HOUSE OF THE DEAD: I don't have much this year to warrant an "honorable mention". I would probably have used this poster in the #10 spot...except the one there I had been after for sooooo long (despite the movie turning out to be snore-inducing when I finally saw it). This poster I had never seen before--not am I familair with the movie. it probably sucks, but I liked the artwork on the poster---so that is why I chose to include it--honorable mention or not. 10):   THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS  and  OKEFENOKEE  (combo) : I have been after this poster for decades--long before I ever saw the yawn-inducing film...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: #7

  Welcome back! I certainly NEVER expected to be back with another Shock-O-Rama Poster Show, yet here I am. Sure, maybe a "special edition" (about hanging posters or framing them, etc.) would have popped up--but one with "new" posters? No. I have cancer and have been going through chemo for the last four months. Why buy posters if I wind up dead? I resisted for a long time, but...here I am, binging (and mostly on CRAP!). There are 14 here...instead of my ususual 10. I haven't been keeping track of the (utter trash) I've been buying. So, as best I can figure out, for better or worse (mostly worse), these are my new purchases since May or June. I am pulling this together as I realized it's the end of the year--and a "best of 2024" should happen. O' the fun... NOT! I'm trying to recover from my last chemo treatment even now --and all I want to do is be in bed. THE BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS: Several pieces I ended up with are in poor shape an...
