The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2020 #3 with a BONUS update

Hello! Thank you for visiting. I'm having a medical procedure done tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be fine. (REALLY!) BUT...just in case, I thought I I'd go ahead and post any and everything new--from new posters to newly framed posters. It's a (short) regular post PLUS a (short) update all in one. There is sooooo NOTHING exciting here...but hello? I just posted a day or two ago. Cut me some slack.  Anyway, here you go-go: TIME COP: I have no interest in this poster, no interest in Jean Claude Van Damme or any of his movies. Why do I have this? The seller I got this from had a buy 2-get 1 free deal. This was the free one. Nothing else at all appealed to me. At least this one has some sort of sci-fi element. The seller was selling both video posters and one sheets. This would appear to be a one sheet---no mention of a video company or it being on DVD/VHS/etc. But as I'm not a Van Damme fan, I really don't know. I'm guessing it is a th...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2020 # 2

Welcome comrades, to the latest installment of the SHOCK-O-RAMA POSTER SHOW. While there is nothing all that awe-inspiring or unusual or rare...I think it will keep your interest, and hopefully you won't find yourself nodding off. Okay, have you got a bottle of vodka and a big bowl of borscht ready? Then let the show begin... VIY (Russian re-release) : Last spring, I had a chance to visit a friend who lives in Russia (You can read about my visit HERE ). Not long after my return, I became aware of a movie called VIY . VIY is the first-ever Russian horror movie. The movie had some good atmosphere and some creepy effects, but was ultimately kind of silly and dated. (The titular demon doesn't show up until the very end...and he/it is very laughable. Ha!) I still liked the flick, though. This popped up on eMovie not long ago. It is an 80's re-release poster for the film. (The film itself hails from the mid-1960s. It's currently available from Severin Films...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2020 Special Edition 1: Updates A GoGo

Welcome back! No new poster purchases today, just updates on my projects. Let's take a look, shall we? Newly framed: HELL FEST: I purchased some cheap frames at Target. They only had 27x40, of course. I opted to frame the recent HELL FEST and I dig it. (I doubt it will ever appear on the walls, but you never know...) CEMETERY MAN: Within the second cheap-o Target frame, I slapped this cool-ish poster. Zombies, Guns and Sex, Oh my! HELLBENT: Swapping out one of the old 80s/90s BATMAN posters (that my nephew had previously had up in his room--thanks to me), I put in this shocking knife-to-the-eyeball poster for a movie I had never heard of before. SHE FREAK: Swapping out a James Bond poster for this colorful schlock horror one sheet was a groovy idea, I think. A Bad Luck Year? 2020 is only a few weeks old, but already I'm growing weary of it. There have been a string of poster disappoints so far this year. First, a while back I won ...
