The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show -- Classic Collection #15

Welcome to another edition of the Classic Collection, those posters I had BEFORE I started posting online.  JAWS 3-D: I have JAWS and a couple of various styles of JAWS 2, so of course I would have a JAWS 3-D! And yes, I DID see this back in the day in 3D. What a piece of crap. I loved it. (But it's still crap). The poster is cool though. This used to be so darn CHEAP, too. These posters were nothing special. I've noticed them climbing and climbing and CLIMBING lately...for JAWS 3-D? Really? I guess ANYTHING "JAWS" related is a thing to get these days... JAWS THE REVENGE: Here is the poster that put the final nail in the JAWS franchise coffin. If you thought JAWS 3-D was bad, here's JAWS THE REVENGE. This time it's personal ...and really, really bad. I saw this at the theater---TWICE. Ha! BARRACUDA and THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS (British quad combo) : I got this for BARRACUDA, of course. THE INGLO...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show -- Classic Collection #14

Greetings, and welcome to another Classic Collection posting of posters I had BEFORE I started posting online. Today we have the last (??) of my framed posters and several loose posters that have had their frames swapped out recently for something else to be on my walls. Okay--enough dilly-dallying. Let's take a look: LOGAN'S RUN: This is the poster that started it off for me. (Well, NOT this particular copy...but you know what I mean). It's been a favorite ever since. I had it hanging on my walls (or ceiling) all through high school and after. It was up in my hallway when I started hanging posters on the walls as an adult. Today---uh, I don't have it up, opting to go with vintage horror all over instead. But it hangs in my heart. (Ahhh...) VALLEY OF THE DOLLS/BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (combo re-release) : Wow---what a cool combo...but also what an odd combo. I love both of these cult films for different reasons. Pairing them...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show -- Classic Collection #13

Greetings! It's another visit to the Classic Collection, posters I had BEFORE I started posting online. Let's take a look at the current batch and see what I've got this time: GHOST DIVER: I had never heard of this (and still haven't tracked the movie down) until running across the poster. Something rare (?) from the 50s? Sold!  This is the poster that called my attention to an actress I had also never heard of (and who I have since nicknamed "Tatter"), Audrey "Tatter" Totter. Tatter Totter has been in quite a few things, it seems, including the 3D noir "MAN IN THE DARK"! Anyone ever see this flick? WICKED, WICKED: Gimmick alert! This film boasted a new movie-going gimmick (that has never been duplicated) called DUO-VISION, which was an experiment in using a split screen. I saw this on a bootleg DVD and, well... Eh. It's a thriller, but not very thrilling, where you have two points of view (almost...
