Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 144

March 01, 2017, 12:18:33 AM



Welcome to the March 1st version of the Shock-A-Rama Poster Show. Ho-hum. Believe it or not, I am still reeling from the financial blow of my three purchases from Heritage way back in November...UGH!  So, as you'll see, this is probably one of the most lack-luster posts in a while. (And they've been pretty lame for a while...) I am just b-r-o-k-e.

Take a look, if you want to bother...

ONE CRAZY SUMMER:

I'd have preferred to get a BETTER OFF DEAD poster, but I also dig this other John Cusack flick poster for ONE CRAZY SUMMER. The giant smiling sun makes it. Did I need it? No. But whatever...It will perk me up through the rest of winter. Come on spring!




MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN:

Another poster I probably did not need... I really wanted to see this flick--but have not done so yet. I read the books. The first book--the inspiration for this flick--was the better of the three. (The other two were not as good, in my opinion...). Tim Burton directed, so it's bound to be interesting visually (but...hmm. All of Burton's films have been visually stunning...but the last one I actually liked thoroughly was EDWARD SCISSORHANDS or BEETLEJUICE.) Hopefully this is a good flick. Do you know if they are going ahead with the sequels or not? The poster is interesting at least.




LICENSE TO KILL (International version):

Something else I didn't need. I have a couple of US one sheets for this Bond film. Although the film was not well received (and kind of bombed at the box office, ending Timothy Dalton's turn as Bond after only 2 movies), I liked it well enough and saw it in the theater. This International one sheet is not that exciting. Why I felt I needed it at the time is beyond me. oh well.





SUPER STOOGES VS THE WONDER WOMEN:

This poster and the four below it I got off of some small auction based out of New York state. I bid a pittance for them---and was surprised i won. My winning bids ran from $5 (minimum bid) to a whopping $15. I lost a few (one guy out bid me by $1 for a grand total of $6. Ha!). I'd bid on these weeks ago--and had forgotten all about them. This one, I got for the minimum bid. I have no idea what this movie is---looks Asian. i think I have it on a DVD multi-movie set, but I have not seen it yet. i think i have/had another copy of this in rather poor condition. Whatever... it was $5.




SUPERGIRL:

This one set me back $9. I don't think I have any of the SUPERMAN movie posters for the four Christopher Reeve SUPERMAN films, so I don't know why I bothered with even attempting to get the poster for the flop spin-off. But--whoopie...it's mine. Actually, I think I've seen these go for a decent price...certainly more than $9. So maybe I got a deal?




LUANA:

This is the one I wanted most of all (*)--and this is the one squeezed an entire $15 out of my wallet. Ha! (That's the cost of shipping for some sellers these days). I like my Tarzan movies...and this is a female version knockoff with cool art work (Is that Frazetta or Boris?).(* from the auction mentioned in the SUPER STOOGES poster)




ORGAZMO:

From the creators of SOUTH PARK and starring one of them, this is ORGAZMO the poster (notice the humping dog. Oh my...) $5 special. Hee hee. I think I actually saw this flick---but have totally forgotten it.




THE BLOOD OF FU MANCHU:

The 4th (out of 5) of the Christopher Lee FU MANCHU movies.  I finally saw the films about 3 years ago...and was not impressed. The anticipation of years and years was met with only mediocracy. Nice period pieces, but ho-hum plots. Still, I have been slowly picking up the posters as i come across them.




THE OUTLAWS IS COMING:

After SNOW WHITE AND THE THREE STOOGES and THE THREE STOOGES MEET HERCULES, this is the 3rd THREE STOOGES poster now in my collection. I've never seen it and it probably sucks...but it also co-stars Adam West, just before he became BATMAN! Whatever. i'm glad to have it.




DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS:

A recent win (by someone else) of DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS reminded me how awesome of a poster it is....and I mentally pulled it from the back burner (where sooooo many poster wants are boiling away) to the forefront and...I GOT one. Yippie! I WAS holding sharing this until my birthday post (April 15th)...but since it is in my recent framed posters video, I thought I'd share it now. Whoo hoo!



Okay kiddies. Get your March on! Spring is just around the corner (hopefully... That damn groundhog saw his shadow a while back, meaning there's be 6 more weeks of winter. That leaves 2 weeks left,. UGH!  But then, daylight savings time hits...and I work the day before AND day of. Groan... No rest for the weary.





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...
