The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2019 # 21


Oh my stars! October has already ended (I sort of 'missed" Halloween this year. Waaagh!) and November is already being whittled away. Soon it will be December and the holiday season will be in full swing. O' the horror of it all. Because I didn't give you a Halloween post this year, I'll throw in an extra poster this time as a special post-Halloween treat (or maybe to give you a little pre-Thanksgiving gluttony?).

Okay---get to your seat. The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is beginning now!




THREE DIMENSIONS OF GRETA:

I probably have this...but I am just NOT sure. I had to get one (just in case) just for the 3D element. I'm such a sucker for a gimmick!!!






ALMOST HUMAN:

Oh my stars! Major senior moment. I had NO RECOLLECTION of winning this poster (or two others on this posting), until I went to pay for things on eMovie Thursday night following their final Halloween auction for the season. When I went to pay, there were some things already sitting in the Pay & Hold area. There were the two different cool GHOST STORY posters I shared in my previous poster post from October 17th. But I had won this with the GHOST STORY posters on October 10th. It should have been the first poster slapped on to this new post...but wasn't. I had completely forgotten about it. (Well, it is a rather forgettable poster for what is probably a forgettable movie as well. Anyone see this?) But that's not the worst of it. Also in my Pay & Hold were two other posters (below somewhere) I had won on eMovie on October 8th. Oops! To my defense, October was a rather busy month for me. I did a lot of traveling. I was in San Diego for a week, Los Angeles for several days and then went off to Oregon for another week. I was home only long enough to work a few days and get to a doctor's appointment or two. But WOW!  Forgetting three posters entirely? CRAZY!





THE HUMAN DUPLICATORS:

I've never seen this, but think it has somewhat of a cult following. Although he is not listed on the poster, I believe RICHARD "JAWS" KIEL is in this flick, too. It was fairly cheap... Why not?





THE EROTIC ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (Italian fotobusta):

This is one of the "forgotten" posters mentioned above that I "won" on October 8th. I was completely oblivious (although I had paid for it already, thank goodness.) I've never seen this. I have no idea if this is some R-rated titillating retelling of the classic tale or a full blown porn opus -- nor do I care. She's not listed on the credits of the fotobusta, but according to the eMovie listing, Uschi Digard is in this. 




ADDAMS FAMILY (2019 Advance):

This movie looks fun and I am surprised I have not seen it (yet). I am a bit disappointed though that Thing is portrayed as a disembodied hand as he was in the live action flicks with Anjelica Houston and Raul Julia. I always thought the way it was portrayed on the TV series was creepier. You never knew what THING was attached to. Oh well. This still looks like a hoot and I couldn't resist the poster.





ZOMBIELAND DOUBLE TAP:

With few exceptions, I usually do not buy posters for sequels. However, as pedestrian as this poster is (snore), I did enjoy the first film tremendously and thought the sequel was pretty fun, too. Still, I had no interest in buying this...until I saw it listed super cheap with postage included. Sold!






STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER (Final):

I decided to score one of these before they went crazy high and were totally out of reach. As I've said before, I am no STAR WARS fan. I'll probably see this (weeks after it comes out). The poster does have me curious as to how they handle Leia (she is pictured on the poster and in the trailers) and Lando Calrissian (I spy Billy Dee on the poster as well) and Luke (Hmm...No sign of him on the poster). I'm glad this series is FINALLY ending (but you know it will NOT be the last STAR WARS film ever). 


             
                      





FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER  and THE KEEP ( combo Japanese B2):

This is the other poster I completely forgot "winning" not too long back. Hooray! I believe I own the Japanese B2 posters for FRIDAY THE 13TH parts 1-3 as well. 


'



FRIDAY THE 13TH PART V: A NEW BEGINNING (Japanese B2):

When I won this on Thursday night, I remember thinking to myself that I knew I had the B2s for FRIDAY THE 13TH 1-3...I just needed one for PART 4 now. Imagine my surprise when I logged on to pay for this and saw that I DID have a Part 4, but had just forgotten about it. Ha!  Now that I have all five of them, what am I going to do with them? Ha!





FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN (aka ANDY WARHOL'S FRANKENSTEIN) (British Quad):

Oh my stars! I can NOT believe I landed this. I've always preferred the British title (especially when paired with BLOOD FOR DRACULA/ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA) and the British artwork. Zowie! I'll have to track down a BLOOD FOR DRACULA quad now (although the one sheet for the original release of ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA is AWESOME!) so I can have the pair together. Zowie! Truly awesome!





SHE FREAK:

I was bidding on this on eMovie's Halloween auction...and lost it within minutes of the auction's close. (I wasn't watching it for the last few minutes...ARGH!) However, I looked and found this copy (described as in "excellent condition". We will see...) on eBay not long after for just a few dollars more than I lost it for. The picture isn't that good and normally I might wait for a copy I was sure was in ":excellent condition". However, after starring at the one on eMovie for a long while over the last week, I knew I had to have this NOW! Aside from the cool art, the poster is hilarious. Aside from the top blurb ("Behind the tents and tinsel of a Monster Midway something barbaric occurs on the Alley of Nightmares"), the other verbage made me laugh out loud. "All the more appalling in color" and (my favorite) "Filmed on the actual locations where it COULD have happened" sold me. HA! The film itself is fun anyway. It is kind of an unauthorized remake of FREAKS, right down to the shock ending. Whoo hoo!




Okay gang, the show is over (for now). No more tricks up my sleeve tonight. In fact, this MIGHT be my last new poster post of the year. We will see. 

Have a great holiday season and thank you so much for visiting. 



Until next time...

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...
