The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2019 #13



Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! Yep, be they what they are, here are my 10 newest movie poster purchases (to add to the thousands of other posters I have tucked away and never see...). They may not be much (Are they ever?), but I think you'll find some gems in this batch. Take a gander....if you DARE!

And now...








FIGHTING THE RACKETEERS and CRIMINALS OF THE UNDERWORLD (aka BIG TOWN CZAR and EYES OF THE UNDERWORLD re-release combo):

I have no idea what either of these movies is about or anything about them, but I loved the old double bill poster with old school layout. It was cheap. Why not?








HOW TO BE A LATIN LOVER:

I've not seen this flick, but I wanted to. It looked fun. Aside from that, as far removed from her pinup days as she is, I've been slowly trying to collect Raquel Welch posters over the last decade or so. It's been slow going. I've already got my prize---Fantastic Voyage (as dull of a poster as it is), but I have many more to go-go before I finish my collection.







ALL WOMEN ARE BAD:

I know nothing about this pre-porn "adult" motion picture for the raincoat crowd. I got it because the title, "ALL WOMEN ARE BAD", instantly put the song of the same title by THE CRAMPS in my head. "They got groovy, wiggly tails. They got horns on their head. All women are bad. All women are bad." Any one? Any one? Okay. Never mind...





HELLFEST (advance):

I already have a copy (several, actually) of this poster--and the final release version. Why another one? I thought the movie was good and I think it may catch on with others over time, driving the price up. I got this for $5 or something like that. Too cheap to not get.





CRAWL (advance):

I'm a sucker for JAWS movies and JAWS ripoffs. This looks like a fun (i.e. stupid in a hilarious way) ripoff, about some people trapped in a cellar of a house in Florida during a Category 5 hurricane with a giant alligator(s?) in the basement with them. Merriment and carnage ensue. Why is it called "Crawl" though? Alligators don't "crawl", do they? Hmm.









NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 3D:

I have one already, but I decided to pick up another copy of the NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 3D poster because you just do NOT see them anywhere really. I know the remake was a limited release. (I got to see it--although it was not that good.) I'm guessing the poster run was limited as well.











EYEBALL:

I already have a copy of this. What I need is a copy of the alternate style of poster for this flick, the one with the grim reaper like guy holding a bikini-clad girl  in one arm and holding out her eyeball in the other. Those always escape my grasp. This one was cheap, so again...why not?










ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES (French small):

I already have the small French PLANET OF THE APES and BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES. Now I have the third title for my collection, ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES. Oo la la! I may stop this collection here though. The French poster for CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is snore-a-rama BORING and the one for the 5th flick, BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES, looks almost like the US one sheet---which I already have a couple of copies of. I'm glad to have this, although it is not the most exciting of posters.








I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF:

Awesomeness! At last, I have one. I have been wanting one of these for ages, especially after I picked up my I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN poster not too long back. I loved this movie as a kid when it would play on TV occasionally on Saturday mornings. It's a good thing Michael Landon got over his hairy affliction so he could star in BONANZA and LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE. I should give this a re-watch as an adult and see if it is still fun.







THE UNDEAD:

Ooooo! This is my prize of the post. Even though I have never seen this movie,  I have wanted one of these for DECADES! I just dig the artwork by Albert Callis. I am beyond thrilled that this is now mine, Mine, MINE!!!!  Whoo hoo! This WILL be framed and hung.





And that's it for now, kiddies. Again, not the most impressive post ever, but I am pleased with it. And now, i must be off. Thank you for visiting and I'll see you next time.





CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #17

  Welcome back…  This post is one of the weakest entries of late. That is saying a lot, as the previous entry was pretty bad. However, the next entry will be even more pathetic than this one. I’m winding down from my recent purchases… Finally. I can’t afford anything. But let’s take a look at when I have this time, shall we? This will be quick. SURGIKILL (special) : I’m not sure what this is. It’s only 9 1/2 x 8 1/2“ long. It is some promotional piece for Andy Milligan’s “ SURGIKILL”.  “SURGI-What!?! You’ve never heard of it, probably.  I do not know why, but I am an anti-Milligan aficionado. SURGIKILL Was one of his last movies. It went straight to  video. I caught it on DVD. It’s OK… Certainly nothing to write home about. But I couldn’t not get this piece. It is allegedly from Andy Milligan‘s estate…And was cheap. POLTERGEIST I I: Normally, I wouldn’t bother with sequel posters. But this was part of a lot. So why not? The movie itself… Not so good. THE SATAN B...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #16

Welcome back. As I write this, the very tail end of my recent poster-buying mania is coming to a close. Well, I still have to worry about auctions on Thursday of this week, it looks like I only have to worry about one poster. Whether or not I get it remains to be seen. However, at the moment, there are two posters in this post. I have one from recent auctions. One of them, the one that I am most displeased with winning, is fairly obvious. The other one, not so much. The one I may or may not win on Thursday? I think that will be obvious as well by what I intend to write about it should I win it, but we shall see. Can you figure out which posters I want in these last auctions before coming to my senses? Of the 10 title shown here two (or three) of them are from those final crazed auctions. TEENAGE COWGIRLS: What the hell was I thinking? On the tail end of my weird cancer buying spree (inspired by my seemingly surviving it—-although I’m not out of the woods yet—while two longtime friends ...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #14

  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...
