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 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...
