The Monster-A-GoGo "Fan Club" Update #1: Christmas in Monster-A-GoGo Land

The MONSTER-A-GOGO FAN CLUB Update: Remember the whole joke thing about a Monster A GoGo Fan Club (You can read about it HERE )---and how I sent it off to my "fan"? Here he is with his official Monster A GoGo Fan Club crap-o-rama! Ha! I've sent a few other "fan club" things his way---a postcard or two and something hastily slapped together for Halloween. I decided to carry the joke on further. After I sent my "fan" (who shall remain anonymous unless he says otherwise) that last-minute Halloween thang (whatever it was--I've totally forgotten what it might have been), I realized Christmas was about to roll around. Hmm. I had to do something...but what? My first thought was a Christmas card...so he got an official Monster A GoGo Christmas card: And...eek! Since the card was homemade, I had no envelope for it. So....I made an envelope. This is the front: And here is the back: I was super broke this Christmas season. A

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2019 Special Edition 4: Top 10 Poster Purchases During 2019

Every year, a movie poster collecting site I belong to ( AllPosterForum.com or APF) puts up a post inviting members to re-post their favorite purchases throughout the year. With 2019 coming to a close, I thought I'd get a jump on this year's post. (I'm done buying/posting for this year, anyway).Here, in reverse order, are my Top 10 favorite poster purchases for the year. 10) SHE FREAK: This was a tough call. It almost went to the poster for the Ray Milland/Rosey Grier schlock epic THE THING WITH TWO HEADS or the cheesy bargain basement 50's thriller THE KILLER SHREWS or maybe even the FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN British Quad. Phew! But this colorful grindhouse classic won its place on the list because the movie is so fun in all of the wrong ways. 9) HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER: The unofficial third part of the I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF and I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN series (as actors portraying both monsters are in this!). Wild artwork. That kni

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2019 # 23

Happy holidays. I know this is a busy time for everyone, but DON'T PANIC... I'm NOT going to take up that much time. In fact, there are fewer posters (just 5) in today's post than the usual 10. Why? Because due to financial issues (those way too expensive Excalibur Auction purchases last time---plus the way too expensive shipping for them coupled with a very expensive purchase somewhere below DID NOT help situations) and health problems, I think that...unless something really awesome comes along...these will be my final poster purchases. Forever? Hopefully not...but for a long, long time, any way.  (Although, I still intend to post updates on projects I'm working on around the house, etc.) So let's take a gander at my last (for now) set. BLACK CHRISTMAS (2019) : I soooooo did NOT need this. However, I have the poster for the original (under the SILENT NIGHT, EVIL NIGHT title) and the first remake (which wasn't all that long ago...or was it?). Why no
