The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2022 #7

 

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! The year is winding down and this is more than likely my final post for the year. (But don't think for a minute that I'll not try to forage on and start working on posts for next year. Au contrare! I actually already have a poster for that post--whenever it happens. I managed to squeeze out 7 posts this year. Last year it was 17. The year before that it was 25. My dwindling output is not due to a dwindling interest. It's simple economics (I'm dead broke.) and my health issues keep me from doing a lot of things (like real, live poster shopping instead of just the online kind.) It is what it is and I'll continue this passion of mine as long as possible. 

Things being what they are, while there are a couple of goodies to be shared, most of the post is decidedly sub my usual standards. Beggars can't be choosers. 

But let's take a look and see what I have for you today...

LYLE, LYLE, CROCODILE:

You are probably staring incredulously at this first title and asking yourself, What? Is he kidding? Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile? WTF? I do understand the confusion and bewilderment. Let me just back up a bit and remind you of my life currently. I am very poor now. This was FREE. I guess I don't need to post every free thing I get from now on (especially if it is crap like this), but we will save that lesson learned for next time. 



DON'T WORRY DARLING (Adv):

More free poster goodness. Well, this poster isn't much to look at. The movie was at least very interesting (although flawed). And when I snagged this poster, I later found that there was a second copy of it in the roll. Bonus!



DON'T WORRY DARLING (Teaser):
Yet another freebie. This teaser is a tad more interesting than the advance above. But I still have questions about the flick.
PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE (British video poster):
I have no idea what I was thinking when I bought this. Just shake your head and walk away...

KING KUNG FU:
Believe it or not, by the time I stumbled on this poster, I had heard of KING KUNG FU. The seller had it listed as KING KONG FU...easy mistake (or perhaps he was trying to trick someone into buying this turd?) I bought it--just because I'm a KONG fan, and this 1976 release was made to obviously cash in on the Dino De Laurentiis remake that year. But--it looks BAD. (The trailer is HERE: https://youtu.be/X3_MMO4730Q ) It looks like a flick that went from here to obscurity...except in my poster collection.


VIOLENT NIGHT:
I don't know what this flick is? A crime movie? Horror? A knock off on SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT? I have no idea---but saw the poster and snatched it up just in case it becomes a hit (or a cult hit). His candy cane is on fire? What??? 


JENNIE, WIFE/CHILD:
Hot dang! I've been kind of after one of these for years. Poor white trash exploitation fun...even though I've never seen this particular movie. I'll bet it is a hoot.

Q:
A while back I got a poster for this film under the alternate title of THE WINGED SERPENT with completely different art. This is the more common title (Q) and art--at least they are the ones I am most familiar with. I saw this for sale---why not?


A BOY AND HIS DOG:
I've wanted one of these posters for ages. I remember seeing this playing all of the time when we first got cable back in the late 70s or early 80s. It's about a  "boy" (i.e. young man, Don Johnson) and his dog (that speaks telepathically). I don't remember much about it, but I did like it. Getting this poster has proven difficult, as well. The more common poster, the re-release with a smiling nuclear explosion mushroom cloud, is dull. I wanted this original release. Also note that the film takes place in 2024...just a tad over a year away from now. 


THE DEADLY ORGAN:
This is my prize this time around! Zowie! Just look at this day-glo wildness! If I understand correctly, this movie hails from Argentina and was also released as FEAST OF FLESH. I actually have a novelization of this flick! REALLY! "Tuned in and turned on..." and framed and waiting to go up on the wall. 


That's it for the posters this time, but I've forgotten to share my faux horror movie poster envelopes with you the last several postings. If you are interested, you can check out different batches here and here and here and here, also here, and finally here.
I am still working on a special UPDATE post I had hoped to get done by now--and may get done before the end of the year--or not. I also have prepared my annual post of my favorite Top 10 poster purchases of the past year---but I'll save that and get it posted later.
Yep, 2022 is just about over. Thank you for continuing to join me this year and keeping the Poster Show alive. I hope your holidays sparkle and are everything you want them to be. Here's to a happy, healthy, and poster-rich new year!
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 #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: #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...
