The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2019 #12

Welcome back. Just when I thought I wouldn't have another post until June at the earliest, I'm B-A-C-K with another one in May...with only days to spare! While certainly better than my last post (which was just filled with CRAP), this one is still not the most exciting of posts---but there are a few choice nuggets to be found (if you DARE to scroll down). Let the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show begin.... DOCTOR DEATH: This is a no-big-deal poster that is easy to find and not very exciting. Why bother? Believe it or not, even though I have thousands of posters [most of them crap], I don’t think I had this poster yet. I’ve never seen the film and it probably is a turd....but it’s a vintage [70s] horror flick, so you have to give it some points. It was cheap—-and the seller who I bought several other things from was offering it—so why not? HEAVY METAL: I remember when this came out—and I did see it back in the day in the theater. I remember that it was bei

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2019 #11

RUN while you still can. NOW!  I'm NOT kidding. While I hoped to pick up a few auctions wins over the last few days, I have found I have lost everything I've bid on. That is no big deal, really...except I was hoping any newly won poster would disguise or pull focus away from the bottom-of-the-barrel dreck I was including. Lots are designed to get rid of the trash by adding them to some semi-interesting but nothing-really-great posters as an enticement. Oh, there are always those lots that contain posters you will never post in a zillion years ("Nureyev's Don Quixote" or "Musical Passage" or "The Other Side of the Mountain Part 2", etc. any one?). My most recent lot and other lots before that have left me with dozens of posters I will never bother to share.

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2019 #10

Welcome back to yet another cheap edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. It's a sleaze & schlock bonanza day, as we display posters for films that played over and over in drive-ins and grindhouses across the country in the '70's and '80's. As you look for a seat that isn't broken or too badly worn, be sure to look out for casually discarded syringes. Try not to pay too much attention to the sticky residue on the floors or the mystery stains that may be on your seat's fabric. Be sure to visit out snack bar where we are having a big sale on Hershey's Bar None chocolate bars. I know they've been out of production since 1993, but we recently found boxes of them in out basement. And now, sit back and relax and let your eyes get used to the dim light. The show is about to begin... SWEET SIXTEEN: I saw this flick with it's cast of Hollywood stars on their way down, down, down. Bo Hopkins, Susan Strasberg, Patrick Macnee, Don Stroud,
