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 came across a brand new one--so...sold!

THE EXORCISM:
This film never came to a theater in my part of the world. But, as I said above, I love my EXORCIST ripoffs. Had to get one.

FLESH FEAST:
Whoo hoo! I finally scored a full one sheet (I had a half sheet) for FLESH FEAST. This is a low-budget crapfest...but it was also the comeback/swan song for one-time glamour gal Veronica Lake!

GONE WITH THE POPE:
I'm not quite sure if this is a rerelease or the first release for a movie that was never released, but this was another pick up from Grindhouse Releasing.

HOLLYWOOD 90028 (re-release):
This is a movie I am interested in seeing. I actually have the original release one sheet (which looks nothing like this one). I, at first, thought it was a movie knocking off the TV show BEVERLY HILLS 90210...but this came YEARS beforehand. This is another Grindhouse Releasing pickup. 

FANNY HILL MEETS THE RED BARON:
I've never seen this...but am thrilled to have the poster. It's the one I needed to complete the trilogy of FANNY HILL posters from Barry Mahon. (The other two are FANNY HILL MEETS LADY CHATTERLY and FANNY HILL MEETS DR EROTICO.) I wish they'd release these. I really want to see the DR. EROTICO one (which looks like a nudie-cutie Frankenstein-like flick).

OLGA'S DANCE HALL GIRLS:
This is the last of the infamous OLGA movies. It features a fake Olga and is generally reguarded as the lesser film in the series (although none are really that good. MME OLGA'S MASSAGE PARLOR is, unfortuantely, a lost film). I, however, like this one the best. It was the first one I got to see...and you never forget your first. Ha! I had this poster--but mine has a snipe on it. This one is in better shape and snipe-free!

MY BROTHER'S WIFE:
Not that it's much to look at, but YOWZA!!!  It's another RARE one sheet for a Doris Wishman sleazefest!Yahoo!!!

HOUSE OF THE DEAD:
I have no idea if this movie is any good or not. The poster is a bit rare--and I love it. It usually gets kind of pricey, so I was lucky to score this one.

JUNGLE BLUE:
X-rated Tarzan knock-off? Ha!

PUMPKINHEAD:
I had one of these--but it was somehow ruined in my move 2 1/2 years ago. Grr. Replacement!

PUMPKINHEAD:
Another "replacement".

That's it. NOTHING too exciting...but these should be my last purchases. I'm not optomistic about facing cancer. I'm glad I got to enjoy the hell out of this hobby for as long as I could. Golly--it's been nearly 50 years!

Thanks for checking out my pages over the years.

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...
