The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2019 #3


Hello and welcome back. It's time for more posters and again...there's not much to be excited about. Hmm. Well, since you are, you might as well take a look. There may be something that catches your eye...


BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE (International Style A teaser):

I never saw this movie, but I remember thinking the trailer for it made it look good. I DID want to go. I thought I would at least get the poster and maybe I'll see the flick sometime? Did anyone see it? Is it worth my time? Hmm.







ANTIBIRTH:

I've never seen this. The poster is colorful, but the art is...eh. However, the film intrigues me now---which is why I went for the poster. Just look at those reviews; "Gross as Hell" and "Epically F***ED-UP!" Wow! I need to see this. I have a copy sitting in my cart on Amazon even as I write this... ha!







KISS ME, STUPID:

Hmm. This was cheap. I don't think I've ever heard of it---but Kim Novak? Dean Martin? In a film by Billy Wilder? I thought this was probably a bargain and snatched it up...but I am not sure. hmm.





THE GREATEST SHOWMAN (Style B advance):

I'm still on the fence about this purchase. Did I need it? NO. 






THE PREDATOR (style A teaser):

I'm also unsure about the wisdom of getting this poster. Is it a remake or a sequel. i didn't bother to see it. I do have a poster for all of the other PREDATOR films though (why I have them, I'm not quite sure...but...)






THE SEVEN MAGNIFICENT GLADIATORS:

Not a HERCULES film, but along the same lines---from the brief revitalized interest in the 80s. I've never seen it. It's probably crap. oh well.





I DEMONI (aka THE DIRT GANG) (Italian 4 F):

UGH! Bad bid again...this was another quickie bid on my phone at work. I thought the poster looked cool...a wild Charles Manson-looking dude and a title like "I Demoni"--it sounded up my alley. Who knew it was something released here as "The Dirt Gang"? That sounds utterly dull (as dirt). And it turned out to be a 4 F. I hate that size!  Grr...






HORROR EXPRESS (German):


I have a lot of different posters for HORROR EXPRESS--all with different art work.  This art is, in my opinion, the preferred art for the film. I'm glad to have it.







THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH (International):

I have the US release, but have never had this International poster for the second to the last of the Pierce Brosnan Bond films. I liked this outing--despite Denise Richards playing a scientist (named Christmas Jones, or something like that). Ha!







TWO LOST WORLDS:

I've seen this poster only once before. I have never seen the flick. I wonder if the dinosaur scenes are just borrowed from other old films or new? (It looks cheap---I'm guessing the shots are borrowed. Ha!) "Jim Arness" is really James Arness from the old "Gunsmoke" TV show (I looked that up at least). The poster is kind of fun---but the dinosaurs look like the artist was from the 7th grade or something. Ha!



And that's it for now. Thanks for visiting. I know the collection was not all that fab this time...but it was a step up from last time. (Hopefully)  I'm already working on the next installment. Stay tuned.





CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023: #10

Welcome back! I certainly did NOT expect to have any further posts with new purchases this 2023 calendar year, but here we are. Granted, most of these are holdover purchases from my temporary poster-buying insanity in October. I’d expected those to be the foundation for whatever post I kicked off the new year with. But now? I had a few more pick ups… Why hold back? Let’s send 2023 out with a real BANG! Christmas came a little early this year. Uh oh… The lights are dimming. Take your seats. Let’s see what I have for you this time… GIRL IN GOLD BOOTS:  Not a great poster, but one I’ve been after for a while. This flick is an exploitationer from legendary B man Ted V. Mikels (CORPSE GRINDERS, ASTRO-ZOMBIES, BLOOD ORGY OF THE SHE-DEVILS, etc.). I saw it years ago. I don’t remember much other than that there is a girl (who wears gold go-go boots) who is a dancer (and maybe sings?) and is somehow involved in the criminal underworld. Like a lot of Mikels’ films…it doesn’t leave an indelible m

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #9

  Welcome! Get your tickets and take your seat.The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is about to begin. I am still disabled and only getting worse…yet, uh, um…I’m spending money on my ADDICTION to posters that I really have NO BUSINESS doing. Why? Because I am STUPID. (But I LOVE staring at them…) Waaaaagh! Anyway—-my stupidity is your viewing pleasure (or however you want to term it…).  Here we go… THE LADY IN THE MORGUE (1942 RE-RELEASE) : This isn't something that I'd usually buy. I've never seen this old mystery/whodunit flick. Despite this being a re-release poster (The original, with completely different art, hails from 1938.), I decided to go ahead and buy this 81-year-old gem for several reasons. I like the monster-ish hands reaching in at the couple. I dig the purple/green color scheme. The old school font is awesome...and one of its co-stars is Barbara Pepper, who brilliantly played Mrs. Ziffel (Arnold the pig's "mom") on GREEN ACRES. Ha! The most important r

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #8

  And, what!?! We're B-A-C-K!!! That was...quick. (It just seems that way as I delayed the previous post until I finished my write up on my Something Weird Video adrventure, which I had linked to the page. I've already been working on this one for several weeks.) Truth be told, though, about half of these became mine in a 12 hour period. It is no secret that I am now disabled. I live on a VERY modest income with very little in the bank to fall back on. There is a saying, "You can't take it with you." There should also be a saying that says "You can't enjoy it if you don't have it." That seemed to have been my mindset during a recent eMovieposter auction. Despite the fact that everything was on linen--there were so many titles I wanted. Things were fairly cheap...until the very end. But... Geez! Dipping into my meager savings was... EXTREMELY STUPID and FOOLISH.  But, it happened. Let's take a look: PRO BALL CHEERLEADERS: What the hell is this
