The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show -- Classic Collection #10

Welcome to another Classic Collection edition of the SHOCK O RAMA POSTER SHOW, where we look at posters that were in my collection before I started sharing them online. Today, I am afraid, we get a little bogged down with BATMAN stuff (Blame my nephew...). But there are fun things before and after all of that. Let's take a look:

THE HOUSE OF EXORCISM:

Mario Bava's "LISA AND THE DEVIL" was found to be unmarketable in the wake of THE EXORCIST. So, someone went back, shot scenes of Elke Sommer being possessed and added in a priest, spliced it altogether, and voila! You get HOUSE OF EXORCISM. Most of what was LISA AND THE DEVIL remains--and it is Euro-intriguing. The exorcism at the end necessitated the original "shock" ending...but you get the gist of it without that ending. Telly Savalas sucks on lollipops---just as he did in KOJACK. Ha!

BATMAN FOREVER (BATMAN):

My nephew was once into BATMAN in a big way. This was long before the recent series (with Christian Bale). Anyway, my mother asked me to get some BATMAN posters (and frames for them) from some of the BATMAN films to decorate his room. I got seven of them. When he outgrew them, I "saved them". (His mother was going to sell them in a garage sale for $1 each---hello? The frames alone are worth more than that!) Eventually I will get around to swapping them out for other posters. For now they sit in my closet.

BATMAN FOREVER (ROBIN):

Another of my nephew's old BATMAN posters.

BATMAN FOREVER (RIDDLER):

And another BATMAN poster from the depths of my closet...

BATMAN FOREVER (TWO-FACE):

Yet another BATMAN poster that needs to have something else put in its frame...

BATMAN FOREVER (DR. CHASE MERIDIAN):

I don't know what my nephew thought of this poster. WHO is Chase Meridian (other than the love interest for that particular film?).

BATMAN AND ROBIN (VILLAINS):

Huh? Oh that's right. There WAS a third villain besides Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze. But who he was (totally downplayed....guess they couldn't get a big enough star to play him?), I do not recall.

BATMAN AND ROBIN (HEROES):

This was the one with George Clooney as Batman, right? Alicia Silverstone was off unemployment for a while doing her Batgirl gig (Has she had a job since?). Is Chris O'Donnell still around?

CARNIVOROUS / RAW MEAT (combo):

Ooooo. I do remember when this combo came to town. it only played at one drive in...and o' I soooo wanted to see it. The ad copy screamed "Secretly filmed--absolutely authentic scenes of cannibalism as practiced today! Filmed by hidden cameras." Zowie! How hideously horrifying it all sounded. Years later when I finally tracked this down, I discovered that it was actually a re-titling of JUNGLE HOLOCAUST from 1977. But I love this poster.

SLAVE OF THE CANNIBAL GOD:

This is a stunning poster. I really appreciate the artwork. As a cannibal movie---it's okay. Ursula Andress and Stacy Keach must have really been hard up for cash to agree to star in this grindhouse epic. But the poster is just gorgeous!

That is all for this time. NOT the best selection---but at least I got those Batman posters out of the way. Ha! Thanks for visiting.

Cheers!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #13

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...

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...

And welcome back… With this post, I am hopefully wrapping up all the posters I purchased in my recent mania. ( Actually, as I write this, there are still a few auctions out there. I have bids on that haven’t closed. While I doubt I’ll get anything, there’s always the worry that I will and that those purchases will spill over into another post. Eek!) As per my (sometimes) usual, I’ve got a lot of trash and a few treasures. I also have a very bad headache. So let’s get on with it already… VAN HELSING : This must’ve been a lot purchase. Although it’s based on a character. DRACULA , I had absolutely zero interest in seeing this movie. Zero. TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD (French) : I have long been a fan of the BLIND DEAD films . To my knowledge, only three of the four were released in the US and have one sheets. The first one, TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD , was released as just THE BLIND DEAD with a misleading poster image making it seem like a knockoff of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD . RETUR...
