Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 143

February 08, 2017, 11:28:56 PM

This is turning into a weird mini-bonus post. I was cleaning out my "drafts" section of my email files and came across this. In my FAILED attempt at the beginning of 2016 to only buy posters I wanted/needed, I posted a list...my "Lucky 13". This was a list of wants i was going to focus on for the year. I was also going to ignore everything else---but that obviously did NOT happen. Ha!  Anyway, even though it has been a little more than a year, I thought I'd revisit this list and give it an update. NO, I did NOT get everything I hoped to (who can afford it?). BUT---I did score several. Look for the highlighted ones. Let's take a look:

"The Lucky 13"


I Walked With A Zombie (original)

Planet of the Apes

The Undead

Olga/Ilsa posters (Olga's Girls, Olga's Dance Hall Girls, Ilsa Harem Keeper of the Oil Shieks, Ilsa the Wicked Warden)

Aztec Mummy movies (Aztec Mummy, Curse of the Aztec Mummy, Aztec Mummy Vs The Robot)

James Bond (Goldfinger/Dr No combo, and future posters)

HG Lewis movies (Color Me Blood Red, Wizard of Gore, etc.)

Andy Milligan movies (Guru the Mad Monk, The Body Beneath, Torture Dungeon*, etc.) (*I have it, but am still looking for a better copy)

Blackenstein (Black Frankenstein)

The Blob (original)

The Birds

House on Haunted Hill (original)

Batman (60s)


So----there are still many I want to get....but with the few (4) I got, I just have to say...NOT too shabby. PLUS one of the ones listed above that was NOT checked off I DO have already. I'm saving it for a future post. Hmmm. Which could it be??? Can you guess?

Okay---lastly, I thought I'd just throw this up to get it out of the way. It's a poster I recently won (last night? Night before?). It's nothing big---so why save it?

THE PIRATE MOVIE:

Yet another scrap from my friend Scott's estate. I wouldn't have bothered (and may already have a copy?), but--even though I NEVER saw the flick, I did once meet Christopher Atkins and Kristy McNichol at some celeb thing and got a photo with them.So why not get the poster to go with it? Photo below (and ---ugh! I look hideous. This was, what? January 2010-ish?). Christopher Atkins could not have been nicer. Ms. McNichol though, while polite (I'm sure she wasn't thrilled having herself on display), (let's just say...) wasn't my favorite celebrity I've ever met. Of course, she may have been having a bad day...?

CHEERS and THANK YOU, as always, for your time and visit.

PS  I just dug through a box and, yep. I do already have a PIRATE MOVIE poster. Oh well. This one was Scott's...

Since I am here, I might as well throw up ANOTHER hold over poster:

CARRIE (German):

Yes, it's another from my dead friend Scott's collection. I may already have a copy? It looks familiar. I don't know... 

Anyway, thanks for popping over and saying hello, you guys.

See ya next time (March 1st...if not sooner).

CHEERS!

Here is another quick-o-rama post.

LORD OF ILLUSION:

 It's a recent win from Rich again...hence the watermark. I am reasonably sure I have one of these already...but there's always a twinge of doubt, too. Whatever. The movie was okay. It was no HELLRAISER though. Speaking of HELLRAISER, whatever happened to the planned remake?

Good night.

CHEERS!

Below is a super quick video of 8 posters I've framed in the last few days. It's an entire 1 minute and 21 seconds long.

https://youtu.be/yPKx7iJghIM

Watch it or don't.

I WILL be hanging some up on my walls very, VERY soon. I am sooooo excited at the prospect of having my posters up on my walls again. YIPPIE! I can NOT wait.

And since I'm here, I might as well post another minor poster purchase:

MOULIN ROUGE:

I probably have this already--maybe. Hmm...  There are a lot of styles for this movie, but this is the poster I like best. Again, this is from one of Rich's auctions. Thank you, Rich.

Okay---enjoy the rest of the month, I'll be back on the 1st with another post (as usual), if not sooner.

CHEEERS!

Here is another quickie poster posting:

THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH:

Even though this is a later JAMES BOND title and didn't cost an arm and a leg, I figure you can't go wrong with Bond. I already have this, but why not a spare? (Yes, another from Rich's auctions. Thanks Rich, as usual.)

Okay, thanks gentlemen once again for your visit. Happy collecting.

CHEERS!

I've got to get in the shower and get ready for work. But since I'm answering, here is another bonus mini-post:

THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVES DOWN THE LANE (alternate style):

This is NOT from my friend Scott's collection. This is supposedly a rarer B-style one sheet that i do not ever think Scott had or was aware of. It was inexpensive ($7.99 plus shipping). So--I sort of bought it in his honor as I knew he was a fan of the film. I thought it would go well with my other rare style. I DID get from his estate.

Thanks for visiting.  Off to the shower I go...

CHEERS!

Here's a mini-bonus post...

PERILS OF THE JUNGLE:

I know nothing about this flick, but l LOVED the art---and couldn't let it get away.

CHEERS!

I have framed 5 more posters, one of which I have NOT yet shared on my thread. (I am saving it until way off on my April 15th posting, which is also my birthday.) You, TED, were the inspiration for me to track down this extra special poster. THANK YOU. If you watch the video, PLEASE do NOT mention it on my thread just yet. (Hmm. Maybe I should bump it up to my March 1st post?)  Anyway, here is the video of newly framed posters a go-go. Watch or don't:

https://youtu.be/oyR10L2fS7Y

And, golly, since I am here again, I might as well do another mini-post as well. It IS my mother's birthday, after all. Here is this:

METEOR (International):

Different than the US poster. Not the best disaster flick ever, but enough to bankrupt AIP. Yikes!

Thanks for visiting, as always.

See ya next time.

CHEERS!

UGH.  I know I just posted a few hours ago, but it is time for a poster room update! (Not that anyone cares...)

As you can see from the poster below, my hall closet is now FREE of poster tubes:

Where did they go? Well...they are in the poster room, under a big table that I will eventually put my flat file on once I get it painted. (excuse the mess):

Eventually, I want to get another flat file and stack one on the other. I have my eye on one, but it needs to wait a while. Once i get the second flat file, the table will shift to under the window (where the desk is now) and the desk will to the wall opposite of where the table is now. That way, i'll have the table available for framing and other poster chores (photographing, packing up for selling, etc.)

In the mean time though, my poster room closet still looks like this:

Baby steps, right?  Once I am all fixed up in here, have the flat files, and have gone through the tubes, THEN I can start my spread sheet. Phew!

And since I am here AGAIN, here is another bonus mini-post:

KING COBRA (Australian Daybill):

This is another example of the (way too) many purchases because they are moderately interesting and cheap. I picked this up on eMovie the other day. Never saw the flick and, as I said, the poster is moderately interesting. Only $7. Not complaining a bit. Just...did I NEED it? Nope...

Okay...I'll be seeing you.

CHEERS!

Here is yet another mini-bonus since I'm here again today:

BLADES:

I don't suppose many people saw BLADES...at least not in the theater. I did. It's from Troma, so you have some idea of what to expect. The tag line reads "Just when you thought it was safe to putt...", which may give you some idea of what this movie is. It's about a killer lawn mower...on a golf course...done as a spoof of JAWS. I thought it was clever (at least I did at the time. I'm not sure what I'd think as an adult...). I probably already have this and did NOT need this. But it's mine now.

Thanks for visiting. See ya next time.

CHEERS!

I'm back...with a (less than thrilling) poster room update.  I have the flat file (it's HUGE), painted and in the poster room, on the table. I still need to attach the handles to the drawers---but I'll get to it eventually. While going through stuff, I found a whole bunch of rolled posters (some had previously been folded) I had completely forgotten about. Some had edge damage from their poor previous storage (I didn't even realize these were movie posters---oops!), but most are fine or not too bad (if damaged at all). There was a rolled DS MULHOLLAND DR., a cool but smaller (in English) GODZILLA VS MEGALON (with lots of monsters on it) I didn't know I had, an INVASION OF THE BLOOD FARMERS I had also forgotten about and lots, lots more. I have not even looked at it all yet (because I can NOT figure out how to keep them flat in the flat file...so there is a mass of rolled posters on top waiting for storage).  Here's a picture of the flat file in the poster room. It's HUGE!

Since I'm here, it's BONUS mini-post time again:

THE AMAZING CAPTAIN NEMO:

This is something else i could have lived without, but... This is the International one sheet. I doubt there was a domestic version as the movie originally aired on TV as a 2 part mini-series before being edited down into this movie version for foreign release. I constantly amazed by the crap we used to get on TV for free that others had to pay to see in theaters. Ha!  

Okay--back to trying to figure out storing rolled posters in a flat drawer...  Thanks for stopping by.

CHEERS!
