The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2019 # 22



Okay, I know that when I slapped up my last post, I said it was possibly the last one for the year. Now, 2 days later, here I am. WTF, right? Well, it's called an OOPS! Yesterday morning, I kept getting text after text after text telling me that such and such an auction was about to close. Huh? Oh---it was a bunch of auctions from Excalibur Auctions in England. I had totally forgotten about them. But I bid such low-ball bids on a ton of stuff, I was sure I wouldn't get any of it. Well, I forget how stupid I can be, because, when I got home,  I discovered I had won several lots (Groan...).  Zowie! Together they cost way too much money...and I still have to pay for/arrange for shipping. UGH!!!

This posting is ALL of the auction winnings--such as they are. WHY did I buy this crap? GRRR...

Take a look or DON'T. Here we go-go!




THE SIGN OF ZORRO:

Snore! This (and the six just below it) was part of a single lot. This poster is the dullest of the seven. This was NOT the poster I wanted in the lot. It's just here to share the tragedy of my stupidity.





AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN:

Double snore! I saw this movie in the theater and I suppose you could say it is a good movie---but it's not my kind of movie (Hello?! Where are the zombies? The franchised serial killers? Anything remotely spooky at all?). Part of that lot o' seven...





AUDREY ROSE (British quad):

I've never cared for the AUDREY ROSE poster art (and I am fairly certain I have the one sheet). To add to my disappointment, there are tape stains on the corners. Groan... Lot poster, of course.






TOOTSIE:

Another lot purchase... TOOTSIE? Fun little movie, but in my collection? UGH!





THE REBEL GLADIATORS (British Quad):

This is a lot posters and the one I placed a bid on the lot in the first place for. THE REBEL GLADIATORS is one of the peplum/sword & sandal flicks that were the rage (briefly) and churned out (mostly from Italy) in the late 50s through the mid-60s.  I dig my "Hercules" movies (as I call them...even though Hercules is only in a handful of them (and not this one). Of course, it looks like there is a paper lift on Dan Vadis' nipple. Ha! Well, that ruins it. Blah...
THE ISLAND AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD:

Another from the same poster lot... This, at least, has decent art. But I bid on this? Purposely? Hmm... I've seen the flick (twice) and never liked it.






LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS:

This is the 7th and final poster from that one bulk lot. Don't I have this already? Hmm. What was I thinking?





HOUSE OF EXORCISM:

This is an ugly poster. Why did I bid on it? Because I love my EXORCIST ripoffs. Stupid me...





RISE AND FALL OF IDI AMIN (British quad):

This sleaze epic's poster I am kind of excited to have. Idi Amin was a terrible man--but this movie is a jaw-dropping, shocking hoot. I don't think it was ever actually released here (but it may have been. I have a one sheet but I think it may be Australian?). I have a bootleg DVD.






CARRIE (double crowns and British quads):

All of these CARRIE posters were in one lot. These seem to be fairly rare. I've only seen them a few times before. I have most of these already, but there is one or two I know I don't have...like the one that says "AFTER  THRILL"---whatever that is about. Despite the clothes and hair being stuck in the 70's, I think CARRIE is a classic. Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie both deserved their Oscar nominations for it.












THE STRANGE DOOR:

This was one of the ones I really wanted, but bid low (because I didn't want to deal with the shipping) and was surprised to win (I've never been able to score one before)--until I noticed the nasty tape stain on the bottom center. GRR!!!!







ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 and HALLOWEEN (British quad combo):

I was also surprised I won this, knowing how rabid people get for anything featuring the original HALLOWEEN. This seems to have a bit of fold wear, but it's kind of a fun surprise pick up I had not expected.





That's it. A bunch of JUNK. (Is it my imagination, or have Excalibur's poster lots turned to crap?) Oh well... Maybe I'll learn my lesson. (Yeah, RIGHT!) Next time when I say "Look at your own risk," know that I'm NOT kidding.



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...
