The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2019 # 23


Happy holidays. I know this is a busy time for everyone, but DON'T PANIC... I'm NOT going to take up that much time. In fact, there are fewer posters (just 5) in today's post than the usual 10. Why? Because due to financial issues (those way too expensive Excalibur Auction purchases last time---plus the way too expensive shipping for them coupled with a very expensive purchase somewhere below DID NOT help situations) and health problems, I think that...unless something really awesome comes along...these will be my final poster purchases. Forever? Hopefully not...but for a long, long time, any way.  (Although, I still intend to post updates on projects I'm working on around the house, etc.) So let's take a gander at my last (for now) set.




BLACK CHRISTMAS (2019):

I soooooo did NOT need this. However, I have the poster for the original (under the SILENT NIGHT, EVIL NIGHT title) and the first remake (which wasn't all that long ago...or was it?). Why not the new remake? It was cheap---but what a dull poster.





DRACULA AND SON (Italian 2F):

I've never seen this and normally I'd have passed on this...but it was surprisingly cheap. Christopher Lee in a non-Hammer Why not?





THOR: THE CONQUEROR (Italian 2F):

Another Italian poster I didn't need, but this CONAN rip-off from the 80s has always intrigued me. (I'm sure it is awful, but I have yet to see it.) I am almost certain I have a different (better) poster for this same movie. Hmm.






GHOST CATCHERS:

From 1944 comes this poster for a funny fright flick (so I read...it's supposed to be a comedy). I should have passed on this--but I thought why not? It is in remarkably good condition for being 75 years old. I have no idea who Olsen & Johnson are/were, but Lon Chaney Jr, Andy Devine and Morton Downey (Sr.) also star and have their names on the poster. "They got hants in their dance!" Okay... whatever.







 THE BLOB:

Oh my stars! Even though I paid far, FAR more than I ever wanted to pay for this (YIKES!!!!), I have been after an original THE BLOB poster ALL of my life (well, since I started collecting posters back when I was 11 or so). I have both versions of the sequel poster and the remake poster...but the original? Never...until now. Zowie! This film starred a young Steve McQueen and Aneta Corseaut (or Corsaut) (better known as Helen Crump on "The Andy Griffith Show"). The scene in the movie theater must have freaked movie goers out big time back in 1958. Ha! How BLOB-eriffic!

Zowie! I'm so excited. Here is the original trailer:




And that is all for now...and for the rest of the year (and possibly then some), I imagine. Thanks for visiting. Have a super holiday season. I hope Santa brings you all of the coolest posters on your wish list and that 2020 is beyond amazing for all of us.

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...
