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: Special Edition #1

  Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. This edition is a bit different. As you may know, with certain exceptions that may come my way, I've by and large stopped buying posters. This post isn't about new posters. Instead it is about my first experiencing linenbacking posters.  If you've read any of my posts before, you will know that I am NO FAN of linenbacked posters. However, as my collecting days were slowing/coming to an end, getting things on linen seemed to be the only way I'd be ever able to enjoy certain posters if I wanted them. I now have several linenbacked posters in my collection. I'm about to have four more... I am still working through a move I made 2 years ago. I am trying to get  my poster collection organized in some sort of manner. I am still going through boxes and tubes, trying to frame them or add them to my flat file drawers (or set them aside for either auction or to donate to thrift stores). During one such effort to (stupidly) pull...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: #6

I wasn't planning on buying any more posters. On top of all of my other many health ailments, I have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. That is effectively taking me out of the game permanently. However, I have a handful of posters I had purchased or had bids on (but didn't expect to win). These leftovers (and there are -- gasp! --15 of them!?!) I'm not planning on sharing on other poster websites as I usually do. They are just here to be complete. THE ANTICHRIST (Australian) : I love the EXORCIST ripoffs.  THE ANTICHRIST isn't one of the better ones--but, this is a poster I hadn't seen before...and it was cheap. CARNAL MADNESS: Never heard of this one--which is why I bought it. EVIL DEAD (2009 re-release) : Not that I needed this (I have the original one sheet already), I thought it would be fun to pick up this rerelease one sheet from Grindhouse Releaseing. MALIBU HORROR STORY: I had a couple of these already. However, both were damaged (one severely so). I c...
