Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 138

January 22, 2017, 12:01:50 AM

It's a mini-BONUS post. What's the occasion? I just did something REALLY STUPID!

I got home tonight with an email telling me I had won an auction I only vaguely remember seeing online...but have ZERO MEMORY of ever bidding on. It was for a LITHOGRAPH (Grr... WHY didn't I notice that when I bid? I must have just woken up or something and was still mostly asleep. Lithograph is just a fancy term for COPY!!! UGH!!!) of the Bela Lugosi flick MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE.  The ONLY bright spot in this (if you can consider giving up a large sum of money for something you do NOT want) is that I believe I had bid the minimum bid...and NOT the estimated amount it was expected to garner. I was the ONLY bid apparently.  It's 40x30 (a size I do not collect) and apparently in excellent condition---but it's still just a COPY!  What the heck am I going to do with it? GRRR.


CHEERS!

I know we are just a day  or so away from my usual 1st of the month poster update, but I have a few posters I recently framed to share. I know the videos are not popular---that is OKAY. You do NOT have to watch. (However, there are a few posters in it that I have NOT put up on my thread yet. Just an FYI in case you'd like a preview-a-go-go!)  If you click on the link below the video, it will open in a different window and be bigger on your screen. Watch or don't:




CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #12

  Hi there. Yes, I’m back again. Really, I was in a weird, crazed buying frenzy recently. I have enough posters for at least one and a half more posts… But I’ll try to pace myself and hold back a bit. These aren’t that exciting. Actually, neither is the next batch. The batch after that has one or two things I’m especially excited about, but we’ll have to see what trickles in to fill the rest of that post up. But I’m getting ahead of myself. We are on this post. Let’s take a gander at it,  shall we? I hope it won’t be too disappointing. Perhaps there’ll be a poster on here or two that you haven’t seen before. THE QUIET EARTH: While I think I’ve heard of this movie before, and I think I may have seen this poster before, I’m not quite sure. If I have seen this poster before, I don’t think I actually owned it. Like my last post, this has a few posters that were part of several lots. No, I am not posting all of the posters in the lots. Not all of them appealed to me. This one, thou...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 Special Edition #1

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show . This is a special edition of the poster show. There are no new additions listed. This is about me trying to go through all of the rolled posters I did not have tucked away yet… And the disastrous mess it caused. Last spring, when I was recovering from my cancer surgery, I decided to go through all of the rolled posters I had in tubes that had not been tucked away into my flat files. Oh my God… What a foolish and disastrous undertaking this proved to be. (And I have the really awfully photographed documentation to prove it!) I soon had posters all over the place. In my living room in my TV room and in my dining room. There were posters everywhere. In addition to deciding, which posters to frame for future inclusion on my walls… As soon as I have some free wall, space… I purchased two of the poster-sized portfolios from Baroque Portfolios .  I threw in several posters. I knew these posters would never adorn my walls, because there’s only...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2020 #25

  Welcome back and a big ho-ho-ho! It's my final poster post for the year. It's not a full listing of 10 posters as I usually do. There are only 8 listings (actually only 7 posters and 1 lot of vintage 3D glasses). Ha! I could have held off...but with the year winding down, I just thought I'd post what I've got and start working on 2021 (should I acquire anything between now and Dec. 31st, that is... Which is doubtful, looking ahead at my schedule). As per usual---for this year at least---there isn't really anything monumental in this batch (although one of the posters has been much sought after for a long while now). My move to Washington state has been delayed until next fall (and that is a long story), so I expect any 2021 posters to be less than spectacular as well (because I'll be wanting to save my pennies for the move---and I don't want to keep re-packing the mess that is my movie posters). Anyway, here's the latest and last batch for the year. Ta...
