Happy 4th of July! I'm B-A-C-K with more posters. None of these this time as exciting as the fireworks that are probably wiz-banging around your neighborhood at the moment...but they are all NEW to me.
NIGHT OF THE HOWLING BEAST:
This cheap-o two-color poster for one of the Paul Naschy werewolf flicks has titillated me for years. It's a Naschy...but it's kind of boring/lame. I wanted it--but didn't want to pay too much for one. I've lost out on these time and time again. I scored one tonight. Now I'm second guessing my victory.... Ha!
THE LONELY SEX:
I already have two other copies of this poster. Why did I need a third? Argh! But I couldn't let it go by cheaper (and apparently in nice condition) than the other two I got. I've never seen this but know it predates PSYCHO and has some of the same themes. It's supposed to be good, but I have heard the available DVD is edited somewhat...so I'll wait to see it.
WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE (military):
I may never (i.e. NEVER) get an original WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE one sheet. However, I picked up this military version for less than $20. I still should have passed on it---it's kind of dull being only in red and white instead of full color---but... I remember seeing this in a theatrical re-release with WAR OF THE WORLDS in the 1970s.
THE LAST JEDI:
I already have one of these (I think). I couldn't resist a second copy (only $5 at some obscure auction. Yowza!)
DINOSAUR:
Zowie--I have NO MEMORY of this coming out, really. It must have been a stinking flop? We will soon see. i found an super cheap copy on Amazon and I'll soon see why this movie's franchise died before any sequels were produced... Ha! And while we are at it---why NOT get the poster?
SILENT SCREAM:
I remember when this movie came out---the ad on TV made me really want to see it. I was ever so disappointed. Kind of like this disappointing poster. I had one once before, but sold it off years and years ago. Why a new copy? Because I am stupid that way...
CANNIBAL FEROX (aka MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY) (Italian 2F):
This movie is possibly the biggest gross out cannibal horror movie ever---certainly one of the most notorious ("CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST" might actually own that claim). I have the US one sheet under the title "MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY", but have long wanted one with the title CANNIBAL FEROX---it's original Italian title that many still prefer to call it today. So I finally scored the Italian 2F for it. Hooray!
ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST (awards style):
It's an Oscar-winning classic. Why not? (But really? They went with that picture? Hmm.)
THE SAILOR WHO FELL FROM GRACE WITH THE SEA:
I've never seen this flick, but also remember when it came out---it was a quasi-popular something people went to see at the time. I thought the poster was quasi-interesting, with the woman's legs blending into Kris Kristofferson's bell bottoms.
SGT. KABUKIMAN NYPD:
Here's a Troma flick I've never seen (It looked dumb). Why not snag the poster?
And that's it. No fizzle. No pop. It was a dud. Oh well, maybe I'll have better luck NEXT 4th of July.
CHEERS!
