The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show -- Classic Collection #17

Welcome to another edition of my Classic Collection---those posters I had BEFORE I started posting online. Today's offering is not all that exciting. There is nothing you urgently need to see. So sit back, relax and let the show begin. SHARKY'S MACHINE: An old Burt Reynolds poster (never saw the movie) from the 80s. This is sitting in my "sell pile" (where ever that ended up...in a box somewhere). Now would be the time to do it, in the wake of the actor's passing. Hmm. Where did I put it. I think this poster came in a "lot".  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME: I've gotten other copies of this same poster that I have posted online. But this is the original copy I had. I had it framed and would hang it in my entry way around my birthday every year. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3: I saw this TWICE in the theaters back in the day--gimmick freak that I am. I still have the glasses from it somewhere. While this pos

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2018 #17

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. Get your tickets now. The tour of my latest purchases is about to depart. ANDY WARHOL'S HOLLYWOOD (aka ANDY WARHOL'S HEAT ) : I had been wanting one of these for AGES. I had won one once before, but somehow the seller ruined the poster when preparing it for shipment. I was THRILLED to get this one---but unfortunately i was on vacation when it was up and had to use my phone for everything...and didn't realize until later that it was only a small 12x19 copy---NOT the full-sized poster size. Oh well. I'll take it. I found it extremely snore-inducing and DULL. I do like the HOLLYWOOD alternative title as used in Germany, though.  BIRTH OF THE LIVING DEAD: I have not seen this documentary on George Romero's 1968 horror opus, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. But I would love to. I've been after one of these for a while---and now, yippie---I finally have one. I dig the mondo-style art on

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show -- Classic Collection #16

Hi there. Welcome to another posting of my "classic collection"---those posters I had BEFORE I started posting online. I know I've been away a while. I was gone on a two week trip and I've just been busy with work and life in general. But I am B-A-C-K with 10 more things from my pre-online past. DR. NO (80s re-release) : Yes, this is an 80s re-release. (I have a couple in this posting). I am fine with this being a re-release as it uses the same art as the original release poster and the original is CRAZY expensive. These re-release posters are getting crazy expensive, too. I'm glad I got mine when I did. Yowza! YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (80s re-release) : Another 80's re-release showcasing Bond in his gyrocopter (which, I believe was called the "Little Jenny"? Or am I flashing on something else?).  I like this poster, i just wish they had also re-issued the poster with Bond in the bath with the Japanese ladies. I like tha
