The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2019 #18


Hello. Guess what? You are back for MORE posters. But I must warn you. I think I must be under the spell of an evil witch doctor or something. My poster mojo is on the fritz. We will get through this Poster Show quickly. There's nothing interesting to see, really. Recently eMovie had another "lot" auction. I bid on several and got stuck with one...a dull turd of a lot, too. It's my own damn fault for bidding on it in the first place. There were actually 12 posters in this lot, but 2 were just so beyond lame that I'm never going to bother to mention them. The 10 below are stretching things thin as it is... Oh well.

Okay--let's go knock this out and be DONE with it.





BUDDY BUDDY:

Never saw this. Never cared to. Snore...





THE FRONT PAGE:

Ditto above.







THE FOUR MUSKETEERS (two styles):

I saw the film years ago...but that is all of the enthusiasm I can muster for these. 








NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CLASS REUNION:

This is a forgotten spoof of 80s horror movies from National Lampoon. It is largely forgotten because...it just wasn't that good. Still it is an interesting curiosity. Maybe.





PRIVATE SCHOOL:

80s sex comedy with Phoebe Cates, Sylvia Kristel, and Ray Walston...featuring a deliberate ripoff of SOME LIKE IT HOT or TV's BOSOM BUDDIES with three guys attending the school in drag. Hardee-har-har. Hijinks ensue.  






METALSTORM: THE DESTRUCTION OF JARED SYN:

80s 3D...Aside from the 3D craze at the time, i have no idea why anyone bothered to make this film. It is silly and makes little sense--and has no ending. BUT---I am a sucker for 3D/gimmicks...





TIDAL WAVE:

I'm also a sucker for old disaster movies. Hence, the poster for TIDAL WAVE (and another below). If you've never seen TIDAL WAVE, you really are not missing much. It was a longer Japanese film (THE SINKING OF JAPAN...or something like that) that was edited down and had scenes with Lorne Greene (a la Raymond Burr in GODZILLA) added in for American audiences. Forgettable. 





AVALANCHE:

Another disaster flick... You can almost feel the careers of stars Rock Hudson and Mia Farrow falling as quickly as the avalanching snow pack in this one. Zzzzz,






TRANSYLVANIA 6-5000:

Another forgettable horror comedy. The best thing about it is the song it was based on. Ha!



Okay---that was quick and relatively painless...and you'll forget all about it minutes from now. 

Thanks for the visit. I'm sorry it wasn't more interesting...or interesting at all.

My luck seems to go from bad to worse lately. I'm gonna sign off before I get hit by a runaway piano or something seemingly random and unfathomable like that. 

Stay groovy.



CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #5

  And I'm back... This, I think, will be my final post of new posters. I had a few leftover posters from last time...and got others to fill out this post and get this done. I can't afford anything anymore and really, with my diminishing health, I should STOP collecting.  TANYA'S ISLAND: This was a cheap grab. I've never seen the movie, but have long wanted this poster. It's so doofy looking. This movie has been on my radar since its release--and it is amazingly hard to find. (As I said, I have NOT seen it yet.) From what I understand, it's basically KING KONG, but with a normal-sized ape (aka man in a bad moneky suit--based on the pictures I've seen) and a bit naughtier. (Hence the R-rating.) D.D. Winters is better known as Vanity, Prince's protegee back in the 80s. She apparently spends a good deal of the time naked. It's supposed to be bad. (No surprise.) I'd still like to see it. HOT DOG: THE MOVIE: I don't know why I bought this. I'm...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #4

  Hello. Welcome back. Today's offerings are...rather unexciting for the most part. As I've said many times before, my poster-buying power has been greatly diminished. I fear my post-buying days are wrapping up, too. The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show may be finally coming to a close in the near future. For now though, here's the latest of what I have to share with you today: KING FRAT: This was a fairly cheap poster--but supposedly rather rare? But really, it's not much to look at. I bought it because... I remember when this obscurity came out. Although I never saw it, it appeared to be some low-rent ANIMAL HOUSE wannabe. I was always curious... I bought it on disk (with THE CHEERING SECTION) on a clearance sale for old CODE RED products. (I guess that company went out of business?) I haven't watched it yet as I read the disk was taken directly from two very badly worn VHS sources. Oh well. I'll get to it someday. Maybe. The poster will go in a drawer. Whoopie... STA...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2021 #11

  Hi! Welcome to the 11th--and possibly LAST--- Shock-O-Rama Poster Show of the year --at least for several months. I'm busy packing for a move and up to my armpits in posters. (Details below.) UGH! I mean, I may buy more...but I don't have the time, money, and I want to be done with poster packing. Speaking of which, you may notice there is more than my usual 10 posters. Instead of holding back posters for some future posting (which may not be for months--if ever. My health issues keep rearing their ugly heads.), I'm posting everything I've gotten since last time. Take a peek or don't. I'm not feeling so well, which explains my rush to get this posted and the use of some online photos to illustrate today's posting. I'm going to go lay down. (Don't mind me...) Go ahead and take in the show: SHARKWATER EXTINCTION: I love the JAWS flicks, the rip-offs, and bad shark movies in general. This looks like it's probably a documentary--not a bad shark mov...
