The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2019 Special Edition: Newly Framed and Hung Posters!




Hi there. I am B-A-C-K!!!  No, there is nothing new to share with you. Instead, I thought I would show off some of the posters of mine (most of them more recent purchases) that I just framed and hung over the last few days. The photography is terrible (glares and reflections on the plexiglass and bad lighting), but I am excited about them...and certainly LOVE looking at them.

Speaking of looking at them, let's take a peek. Shall we?




THE MOLE PEOPLE: This is possibly the last poster I'll ever purchase --- and was the first poster I framed when I decided to do this. LOVE it!




THE UNDEAD: I love this poster and had been wanting it so long.  I was planning on placing this somewhere near the poster for THE SCREAMING SKULL. However, I like the grouping THE SCREAMING SKULL is in, sandwiched between the posters for BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE and CURSE OF THE UNDEAD.  Fortunately, I was able to find a suitable home for it...and not break up the trio on the one living room wall.



Here are the pair on the back wall of my living room. MOLE PEOPLE is replacing the Lon Chaney Jr poster for INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN. THE UNDEAD replaces the 1954 re-release of KING KONG (which moved down a spot, where THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN poster was). BLOOD OF DRACULA I framed a while back, but never hung. I pulled it out of the closet and it is replacing X THE MAN WITH X-RAY EYES.




I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF:  I really like aspects of this poster. The hairy, clawed hand scratching bloody red tears into the image of a teenage werewolf terrorizing a young woman is great. It's almost as if the poster is being torn open and bleeding. Wow! But as a whole, I wish there was more in the poster to look at. Oh well. I had LONG sought this poster---and now it is mine, framed and up on my walls! Hooray!





I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN: I had a crazy hard time trying to dig this poster out of the pile of unopened posters. (Yes, I have not had time to mess with my posters, so for the last year or so...probably longer...I've just been stacking them up in their envelopes and packaging, unopened. Shocking, but TRUE!) I had given up hope of finding this when, earlier tonight, I decided to open the rest of the unopened parcels...and there it was. The odd thing about it was that I had purchased it in February of this year. It was postmarked (somehow) in January. How that was possible, I do not know. I'm just GLAD I came across it. I apologize for the reflection of my arms and phone. Oops!


And here are the I WAS A TEENAGE.... duo, on the wall of my living room between two windows (THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN and WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST graced the spot earlier).




THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN:  I got this re-release poster last year some time, I believe (and it was already unwrapped, out of the envelope. Ha!). I have it hanging in my bedroom between the window and the bathroom. My military-style GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN (which, even though it is only a military style poster, I am thrilled to own) is also in my bedroom.





THE GHOST SHIP: This poster doesn't have super scary graphics or anything, but it does have that very old school look to it. I thought it would be a swell addition to the pre-1950s posters in my dining room. The poster is from 1943. 



Here it is on my dining room wall. It replaces the poster for the Boris Karloff flick BEDLAM, but BEDLAM was only moved down a few spaces and it is occupying the place where THE UNKNOWN was hanging.






And that is it really. Nothing exciting...but something to tide me over until I ever decide to get back in the collecting game again. I really need to get back to sorting and storing my posters properly. My poster room is a disaster area. SOMEDAY I will get to it...

Thank you for visiting. Keep looking over your shoulder. You never know when I may sneak up on you and visit again.


CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #12

  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...

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...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #11

Welcome back. Now that the James Bond stuff is out of the way (see my last post), I can trudge to some B-movie stuff. A lot of this stuff came from lot purchases. I have a lot of these posters already, and have shared them in previous posts. Not all of the posters from the various lot purchases will be shared. Don’t panic. I’ve just decided to share these as a way to look back at these B-flicks and reflect on them a bit. THE MEPHISTO WALTZ: This was an early movie in the 70s satanic panic cycle, that was started with ROSEMARY’S BABY in the mid 60s. If you haven’t seen it, you’re not really missing much. What I do remember most from the commercials was a dog with a human head. Imagine my annoyance when it just turned out to be a dog with a mask on its head that someone placed on it as a joke. There was no “human headed” dog in the plot. Alan Alda I identify so much with being Hawkeye on M*A*S*H, that it’s hard to see him in this movie. At least for me, this is an instance where it’s har...
