The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2018 #12

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!

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...

Hello. Here we are again. There’s nothing new to see here. Every poster is either VHS-era garbage or something you’ve seen before. There is one outlier that doesn’t seem to belong, but it’s one that I’ve been looking for forever. Even though I wasn’t actively looking for it when I finally got it. Huh? Never mind. Let’s just take a look and see what we have today… CURSE III: BLOOD SACRIFICE (video) : I don’t know what I was thinking when I decided to track down the posters for THE CURSE series . For those who have never seen it or heard of it, THE CURSE series is a mostly direct-to-video series of horror flick that are NOT related to each other at all, except by title. I have the theatrical (I think) one sheet for the original movie. I’m not sure if I have a copy of the part two poster or not, and I may have copies of parts three and four already… Or not. I am not sure. But here is the poster for CURSE III: BLOOD SACRIFICE. Yes, as you can, guess, it was cheap. Did I see the movie...

Welcome back. Now that the James Bond stuff is out of the way (see my last post), I can trudge to some B-movie stuff. A lot of this stuff came from lot purchases. I have a lot of these posters already, and have shared them in previous posts. Not all of the posters from the various lot purchases will be shared. Don’t panic. I’ve just decided to share these as a way to look back at these B-flicks and reflect on them a bit. THE MEPHISTO WALTZ: This was an early movie in the 70s satanic panic cycle, that was started with ROSEMARY’S BABY in the mid 60s. If you haven’t seen it, you’re not really missing much. What I do remember most from the commercials was a dog with a human head. Imagine my annoyance when it just turned out to be a dog with a mask on its head that someone placed on it as a joke. There was no “human headed” dog in the plot. Alan Alda I identify so much with being Hawkeye on M*A*S*H, that it’s hard to see him in this movie. At least for me, this is an instance where it’s har...
