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 theatrical one sheet---but I could be wrong. (But then, what else would be new?)





BLOOD SALVAGE (video?):

I've never seen this, but it was sleazy, cheesy and CHEAP! I recently posted about being okay with some video posters as not all movies have theatrical one sheets (i.e. direct to video releases). I believe this is a direct-to-video release, so this is probably a video release poster...but I'm not sure.







FROM DUSK TILL DAWN 2: TEXAS BLOOD MONEY (video?): 

I have a theatrical one sheet for the original FROM DUSK TILL DAWN. I stumbled on this and thought why NOT get the posters for the two sequels as well? This was cheap (and the reason I didn't get the poster for the third one is because the only ones I saw were priced higher than I wanted to pay for direct-to-video sequel poster).  I don't believe there was a theatrical release for this flick and I am fairly certain this is a video poster...but I'm not sure. Zowie! I've realized just now I'm NOT that versed in video posters. (Usually they say they are available on videocassette or something like that. This one doesn't. Hmm...)






STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER:

As I have in the past, I picked up this STAR WARS poster as an investment for the future. Hopefully.  I did finally see this flick. Fortunately I saw this in the very last local showing of the film in our 4DX theater. As I'm not the biggest fan of the series, I was a bit lost in the plot...so the ride-like quality of the 4DX presentation made it feel like I was on a 2 1/2 hour version of the STAR TOURS ride at Disneyland somewhat. Ha! That helped. 






That's it for the "new" stuff. 

THE HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL:

Remember the issue with the recently purchased THE HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL poster? I was heartsick seeing that hole in it when I had wanted it for so long....but today I got word that eMovieposter.com received the poster back and they've credited my purchase price back to PayPal for me. They offered to refund my postage as well, but I was just glad they took the return and told them they did not need to include the postage (I can return a nice favor, too, ya know...). It all worked out swell...except now I have to hunt for another copy. Waaaagh!

Here are my recently framed posters:


MAY:

This is a great little movie that no one has seen. Angela Bettis is awesome in her pre-CARRIE TV remake role. I'd have loved to have gotten a rolled version of the poster, but I have only ever seen this one available.






THE CAULDRON OF BLOOD:

Also known as RICCO and MEAN MACHINE, this flick looks like a pretty grisly little horror flick. It's actually a GODFATHER knockoff about revenge against the Mafia and not a horror film at all. But the poster art...ZOWIE! How gruesome and horrific. There is a vat of acid in the flick, but no nude woman ends up in it...just some mafia goons. Ha! Another great poster that shamelessly suckers people into buying a repackaged bunch o' old goods. I'd have fallen for it. I love the art. Starring Chris Mitchum and Barbara Bouchet.




SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS:

Yippie! This recent purchase looks great behind plexiglass. I can not wait to hang it. It will go in the living room or hallway---and whatever it kicks off the walls will end up on the guest room wall eventually. This is such a silly/awesome poster. Ha! I love it.





RE-ANIMATOR (art style):

Cult classic film based on H. P. Lovecraft's work that should have had better sequels than it did. This the alternative art version of the posters and is my favorite of the two styles. (I do have the other version as well...but this one just screams out for framing).





MANIAC:

I remember when this came out. Many newspapers would not carry the ads featuring the gruesome scalps and bloody knife. Just like DAWN OF THE DEAD and I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, it was one of those films that was released unrated. I wanted to see this movie so bad. Of course, I had to wait until several years later to see it. With gory special effects by Tom Savini, it was well worth the wait. Classic 80s slasher sleaze with Caroline Munro and Joe Spinell.







And that is all for now.

Wish me luck tomorrow....eeeek!

Hopefully I'll be back again soon.



CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #17

  Welcome back…  This post is one of the weakest entries of late. That is saying a lot, as the previous entry was pretty bad. However, the next entry will be even more pathetic than this one. I’m winding down from my recent purchases… Finally. I can’t afford anything. But let’s take a look at when I have this time, shall we? This will be quick. SURGIKILL (special) : I’m not sure what this is. It’s only 9 1/2 x 8 1/2“ long. It is some promotional piece for Andy Milligan’s “ SURGIKILL”.  “SURGI-What!?! You’ve never heard of it, probably.  I do not know why, but I am an anti-Milligan aficionado. SURGIKILL Was one of his last movies. It went straight to  video. I caught it on DVD. It’s OK… Certainly nothing to write home about. But I couldn’t not get this piece. It is allegedly from Andy Milligan‘s estate…And was cheap. POLTERGEIST I I: Normally, I wouldn’t bother with sequel posters. But this was part of a lot. So why not? The movie itself… Not so good. THE SATAN B...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #16

Welcome back. As I write this, the very tail end of my recent poster-buying mania is coming to a close. Well, I still have to worry about auctions on Thursday of this week, it looks like I only have to worry about one poster. Whether or not I get it remains to be seen. However, at the moment, there are two posters in this post. I have one from recent auctions. One of them, the one that I am most displeased with winning, is fairly obvious. The other one, not so much. The one I may or may not win on Thursday? I think that will be obvious as well by what I intend to write about it should I win it, but we shall see. Can you figure out which posters I want in these last auctions before coming to my senses? Of the 10 title shown here two (or three) of them are from those final crazed auctions. TEENAGE COWGIRLS: What the hell was I thinking? On the tail end of my weird cancer buying spree (inspired by my seemingly surviving it—-although I’m not out of the woods yet—while two longtime friends ...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #14

  And welcome back… With this post, I am hopefully wrapping up all the posters I purchased in my recent mania. ( Actually, as I write this, there are still a few auctions out there. I have bids on that haven’t closed. While I doubt I’ll get anything, there’s always the worry that I will and that those purchases will spill over into another post. Eek!) As per my (sometimes) usual, I’ve got a lot of trash and a few treasures. I also have a very bad headache. So let’s get on with it already… VAN HELSING : This must’ve been a lot purchase. Although it’s based on a character. DRACULA , I had absolutely zero interest in seeing this movie. Zero. TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD (French) : I have long been a fan of the BLIND DEAD films . To my knowledge, only three of the four were released in the US and have one sheets. The first one, TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD , was released as just THE BLIND DEAD with a misleading poster image making it seem like a knockoff of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD .   RETUR...
