The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2022 Special Edition 1: Updates A GoGo

  UPDATE-A-GO-GO: The framing frenzy has continued. Below is a whole new crop of newly framed posters I am anxious to get up on my walls. Take a peek if you like. There's no extra charge! CRY OF THE WEREWOLF: I only got this poster a few months ago--not long before my move. I had never seen this poster before or heard of this flick. I still have not seen the film, but am thrilled to have this poster and was frantic to find it when I started framing things. It's not the most exciting poster--but it's an older, obscure horror title and that makes it exciting to me. MESSIAH OF EVIL: What a delight to have this rare-ish poster for the obscure MESSIAH OF EVIL. From what I read, the producers of AMERICAN GRAFITTI were making the film and ran out of money--leaving it unfinished. Some enterprising person came along, bought the footage, and assembled what there was of it. The movie doesn't make a whole lot of sense--but it is fascinating to watch anyway. Marianna Hill is a total...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2022 #2

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! Today I have a mixed bag for you---something (well, a LOT of things...) old and something new. It may not be the most exciting batch I've ever presented---but it's not the worst. Take a look....if you DARE! THE BIRDS (Promo mask) : Yes-- ANOTHER one. This one was surprisingly the cheapest of the three I now own. Crazy. I didn't need it but I bid anyway (thinking I would NOT get it.) Of the previous two, one was just not up to the standards I had hoped it would be....so I have this to replace it. Hopefully it is in better shape. MURDER ON THE CAMPUS: This is a nothing poster. I had one of these before. When I was getting ready to move, I sent it (with a zillion other posters--thanks/sorry Bruce!) to eMovieposter.com to auction. I never dreamed they'd auction this title separately. But they did and it sold for a resounding $8...of which I got a staggering 25%. ($2) Ha! Oh well. But there was something inherently lame about ...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2022 #1 with BONUS Update:

  Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show...and happy new year! I have a few new purchases to share--but only a few. You see, I've been busy. Since moving in early November, I've been living in a house with bare walls. O' the HORROR of it all. That will never do. So, I've been busy framing. But we'll get to that momentarily. In the meantime, here is a short yet sweet look at my new acquisitions. O' the joy: THE LAST REMAKE OF BEAU GESTE: My first purchase--on New Year's Day--of the year...and it's a dud I didn't need. I already have one of these. Why I bid on it (on some obscure online auction), I have no idea. I bid on about a dozen other things as well, all of which I was outbid on (of course!). The reason I even bothered with this poster is because, as a kid, I loved this silly film. I haven't seen it in decades though and, like I said, I have a copy of the poster already. Oh well. $5 plus shipping is not the worst thing I've ever was...
