The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2020 Special Edition: Top 10 Poster Purchases During 2020

2020 is coming to a close---THANK GOODNESS! With the coronavirus, all of the deaths and the need to shelter in place, etc., it has been a decidedly CRAPPY year. That same feeling of BLAH has carried over to my poster purchases as well.

Looking at my Top 10 favorite movie poster acquisition choices for 2020 (I've been working on my list all year--adding and subtracting things as I've gone along), while I have things I am very happy with (or should be happy with), the year overall seemed disappointing, poster-wise. I have ten selected. There's also a "runner up" because, even though I feel I should like No. 10, I'm still not convinced I do like it....so I've listed what would have been No. 10 otherwise as a runner up.

Since I have already discussed these individual posters in my blog, instead of repeating myself, just click on the titles to be taken to the page where they were originally shared for more information about them.

Okay, without further ado, here are my Top 10 movie poster acquisitions for 2020:

RUNNER UP:  VIY (Russian 80's re-release):




9:  DEAD ALIVE:



8: EYEBALL (bikini version):






7:  SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS:




6:  ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS:




5:  VAMPYRES (Spanish):




4:  NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1978 re-release British quad):




3:  THE HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL:




2:  THE WOLF MAN (1962 military re-release):




1:  A VIRGIN AMONG THE LIVING DEAD (Large French):


Thanks for visiting. Here's to a better 2021...

CHEERS!

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: Special Edition #2: The Best of 2024

Well, 2024 is coming to a close. It's time once again to go through the year's purchases and touch on the favorites I picked up through the year. This was a light year for purchases for me--and next year I expect will be even more sparse, if there are any at all. But I was able to eek out 10 (actually 11) faves for 2024 and here they are: (Honorable Mention) HOUSE OF THE DEAD: I don't have much this year to warrant an "honorable mention". I would probably have used this poster in the #10 spot...except the one there I had been after for sooooo long (despite the movie turning out to be snore-inducing when I finally saw it). This poster I had never seen before--not am I familair with the movie. it probably sucks, but I liked the artwork on the poster---so that is why I chose to include it--honorable mention or not. 10):   THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS  and  OKEFENOKEE  (combo) : I have been after this poster for decades--long before I ever saw the yawn-inducing film...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: #7

  Welcome back! I certainly NEVER expected to be back with another Shock-O-Rama Poster Show, yet here I am. Sure, maybe a "special edition" (about hanging posters or framing them, etc.) would have popped up--but one with "new" posters? No. I have cancer and have been going through chemo for the last four months. Why buy posters if I wind up dead? I resisted for a long time, but...here I am, binging (and mostly on CRAP!). There are 14 here...instead of my ususual 10. I haven't been keeping track of the (utter trash) I've been buying. So, as best I can figure out, for better or worse (mostly worse), these are my new purchases since May or June. I am pulling this together as I realized it's the end of the year--and a "best of 2024" should happen. O' the fun... NOT! I'm trying to recover from my last chemo treatment even now --and all I want to do is be in bed. THE BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS: Several pieces I ended up with are in poor shape an...
