The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2018 #21



Happy December!  Are you ready for the holidays? I'm not. And a lot of late in the year/early next year expenses have me curtailing my poster purchases. This will probably be my final posting for 2018...  Let's take a look:

MAUSOLEUM:

Yes, I already have one of these. It came with the poster below it. I've never seen MAUSOLEUM---which surprises the heck out of me. It's probably trash---I'm sure I'd love it.





NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES:

I remember seeing this flick at a theater that no longer exists back in the day. I had cut class my freshman year of college to see it. I got there in my clunker old Mustang, saw the flick, and got back home. The next time I tried to drive, my car was dead. Phew! Had it died just one trip earlier, I'd have been stranded at the theater...and my class cutting would have been discovered. Ha! And for this movie? Hmm. Not the best zombie flick ever. Far from it, actually. I already have a copy of this poster but thought I'd get an upgrade. 





SOLO (Character Advance):

I am reasonably sure I have this already. It was cheap--so why not? This is strictly a low-risk investment. I'm hoping it will increase in value---but who knows?





The COCKTAIL HOSTESSES:

I just picked this up, minutes ago, from eMovie's store. It's not the most exciting poster ever (far from it) and no where does it say this, but this film was written by Ed "PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE" Wood. So, of course, I needed one. This is an A.C. Stephens flick... I've never seen it. I don't know if it is even available anywhere. 






HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL / DAUGHTER OF DR. JEKYLL (re-release combo):

I will probably never own a HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL...so this re-release double feature poster will have to do. (I already have a poster for DAUGHTER OF DRACULA...but, whatever...)






WAR-GODS OF THE DEEP:

I saw this poster years ago---and have been trying to get it ever since. I had never seen the movie until very recently. When I finally did see it, well...the desire for the poster waned greatly---and then it became mine. Ha! Great cast--Vincent Price, Tab Hunter, David Tomlinson and Susan Hart--wasted in this wild undersea (badly faked) adventure.




BASKET CASE:

I already have a couple of copies of this poster---but this went much cheaper than I thought it should (or maybe people today don't know the movie? It is AWESOME in its low budget brilliance). The sequels were crap and possibly cheapened the value of the original? I remember sneaking out of the house and pushing my car down the block a ways before starting it so i could see a midnight showing of this flick. I was supposed to meet a friend there...but never found her...so ended up watching it alone. Ha!






THE LOST VOLCANO:

When "Boy" (Johnny Sheffield) from the TARZAN series grew too old for the part---he was shipped off to school and never seen again. But some smart producer took Sheffield and had him star in the Bomba-The Jungle Boy series. I've been trying to track these posters down forever. I scored one finally a year or so ago...and now this one. Usually they go so high...but I snagged this one at a surprisingly reasonable price! Whoo hoo!






JAWS (Turkish):

I already have a Turkish JAWS...but it was badly damaged in shipping. (GRRRR!) I needed another and this fit the bill. The added addition of the swimmer in the shark's mouth was inspired. Ha!





THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES WHO STOPPED LIVING AND BECAME MIXED-UP ZOMBIES:

This (to me) is the real prize in this posting. INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES... may be one craptastic piece of cinematic sleaze, but it is also amazing in its craptasticness. It's in "Terrorama" and it is (gasp!) "the First Monster Musical"! Ha! I've wanted one of these forever. Finally it is MINE! Whoo HOO!


Here's the trailer for this obscure oddity:




Oh heck...here's the whole freaked-out film. Ha!:




And that's 10. This is gonna do it for 2018, but I should have more in 2019 (I actually already have two so far to kick the new year off!). May your Christmas be jolly and filled with posters you've been dreaming of. Here is to 2019 being the most amazing year ever!




CHEERS!

    What an excellent collection. With so many, you never have to worry about painting your walls.

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...
