SURVIVAL RUN:
Well, I did it…AGAIN! I stupidly visited a certain poster auction house that has crazy high fees, bid on a bunch of stuff (some things I really wanted, something’s I already had and/or didn’t really need), lost out on everything I really wanted (Waaaagh!) and got stuck holding the bag for a crazy sum of money for basically crap. Argh! Will I EVER learn?? So, here I am, stuck with more expensive paper I really don’t have a lot of use for… This one (and the one below it) I got for $1 (plus about $30 in fees….and all of the shipping and handling expenses. EEEk!). It appears to be (but I’m not entirely sure) a post-apocalyptic thriller, perhaps. I had never heard of SURVIVAL ZONE before. Whoopie…
THE ANNIHILATORS:
Something else I did NOT need. Or maybe I did? I just now looked this flick up as I was starting to write about the poster. Oh my stars! This sounds like a bad movie (about a returning Vietnam vet, who comes home to find the streets of his neighborhood like a war zone. He recruits some of his Vietnam vet buddies to help and it truly becomes war in the streets) I was told to seek out…but never did. Hmm. Maybe this was a lucky purchase after all? (I’m NOT holding my breath…)
THE MANIAC:
Another idiotic encounter with a certain auction house... This is a poster for the old Hammer non-period, non-gothic horror flick about a murderer, starring THE SEVENTH VOYAGE OF SINBAD’s Kerwin Matthews. It has been eclipsed and forgotten more or less in favor of Hammer’s more popular Dracula, Frankenstein, and Mummy flicks. I already had a copy of this. Perhaps I can resell it down the line to help recoup some of the $88 (total--after buyer's premium, shipping, etc.) I spent on the two lots I did win. But oh...the quality of this poster. Very good minus? Uh...more like minus, minus, minus! Blah.
THE BROTHERHOOD OF SATAN:
I already have a copy of this as well. (And somewhere I have a packet of “Satan Seeds”, given out to promote this movie…) As I recall, this wasn’t a bad movie. It features Strother Martin and L.Q. Jones star along with a very young Geri (“Fake Jan” from the BRADY BUNCH VARIETY HOUR) Reischl in the child lead.
HOT SKIN:
I already had one of these. WHY get another? UGH! I’m a sucker for gimmicks, especially 3D…(and this is apparently in 3D AND “SeXurrounD”…whatever that might be. A knock-off of “Sensurround”, no doubt.) Vintage porn stars Serena, John Holmes, and the “Disco Dolls” (!?!) star! Ha!
KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS:
After YEARS of trying to score a copy of this, I got one a month or so back. Whoo hoo! And then, BOOM! This one shows up fairly cheap. Snag. What weird luck. I still dig the poster and am super happy to have one (now two)!!
PINK FLAMINGOS (Pink Phlegm-Ingo Barf Bag):
When I saw this item up for sale, I slapped down on the Buy It Now button and was super happy. I NEVER thought I’d score one of these. And then I paused… The bag certainly looks like it could be from the early 70s, but as I researched it (after my hasty, must-have-it-before-anyone-else snags-it purchase), I saw that (as far as I could tell) all of those bags were printed in pink lettering—not black. I also learned that Criterion, when it re-released PINK FLAMINGOS on Blu-ray, included a reprint of the bag (also in pink ink). So WHERE did my black-printed bag come from? Is it real or a cheap copy?Perhaps the ink faded due to light or some other type of damage? Dang it all! I hope I wasn’t ripped off (AGAIN). (I’m sure I was though… GRR!) But...it really DOES look old. Hmm.
EVIL DEAD RISE (Advance):
A new EVIL DEAD movie that is an actual sequel (and not a remake) to the originals? Yes, please! I have the posters for the other films (even the remake), so I needed this as well. And...I'll need to get another copy as the cheapo tube this was shipped in was broken, so there are now these odd tracks/wrinkles down one side of the poster. ARGH!!!!!! Dammit all!
SLAUGHTER HIGH (video poster):
I feel super lucky to have scored this one (although it was also damaged in shipping. GRRRRR!). Yes, this is a video release poster for this title. However, it is way better than the theatrical release poster (a silly skeleton bursting through a bright yellow background. Snore.)--which I actually might already have as well. I have the vaguest memory of this movie (from the VHS days). Doesn't it take place at a class reunion of sorts (with only a handful of students showing up) only to be picked off one by one by a slasher? (Not to be confused with THE REDEEMER aka CLASS REUNION MASSACRE.)
RENFIELD (Advance):
And that's it--stuff I didn't need, poor quality stuff, possibly something bootlegged, and stuff damaged in the mails. Disappointment and frustration. I also got new that my poster blog has been CENSORED and deemed inapptptiate on one page. I don't get it/. Sure there are some posters for adult films--but NOTHINMG is shown. Ot maybe I'm missing something? That post is HERE. What did I do? Can you figure out what I am being punished for? I can't. Hmm... Anyway, we are done...and here is the show stopping finale to close the curtain with.
The show is mercifully over for today. Good night, and thank you for coming.
CHEERS!
