The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #3

  Welcome back!!! Ugh... It's so hard for me to do anything any more. I thought posters would take me out of myself--if only for a few minutes.They are usually a great distraction. But not now. I have too many aches and pains from my surgery. The severe neuropathey that has developed in my hands and fingers makes handlimg them difficult. Writing out commentary on these pages is painful and I make so many mistakes. But I still managed to get 10 to share with you. It's a mixture of trash and treasures. I hopr there is something here you'll enjoy... THE FOREST: This movie is garbage. I’ll say that up front. But somehow this 80’ fright flick’s poster works. (The poster is better than the film.) I already have one  but…  I AM DIVINE: Several years ago (2012), I “backed” (via Kickstarter or one of those sites) this documentary about Harris Glenn Milstead, aka Divine. John Waters has always been one of my favorite filmmakers. Divine starred in just about all of his movies throug...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #2

  Welcome back! Yes, I survived my surgery and am STILL collecting (aka addicted to) movie posters. I have no money and am now swimming in medical debt. I still face cancer treatments in the months (and years?) ahead. I have NO BUSINESS wasting money on posters—-but I’ll be dead a lot longer than I’ll ever be alive…. And I realize I’m coming to the end of my road sooner rather than later. Why the hell NOT indulge and enjoy my passion? Hopefully my future heirs can cash in on what I have collected, too. It’s a win/win situation. Ha! Here’s what I have this time: HEART EYES ( promotional valentines ): I never got to see HEART EYES, a valentine-themed horror movie that came (but not in my neck of the woods) and went with little fanfare just a few weeks ago. While I realize this is not a poster and is instead a promotional item for a movie (In the past, I have included several promotional things in lieu of posters, such as a bird mask promoting THE BIRDS, various vomit bags, a rubber c...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #1

  Happy 2025!! As I write this, we are four days into the new year. I have not finished collecting whatever ten posters I’ll end up sharing with you yet, but I have a good start. I wanted to begin ASAP just in case I can acquire more posters and get this up before my surgery on January 22nd. It’s a BIG surgery (removing a third of my esophagus, all of my stomach, and re-routing my small intestine to the remaining portion of my esophagus). I might not survive it.  But, welcome to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show anyway! I hope you enjoy it.  MOANA 2: This was a free one. It has some dings...but was still free. Never saw the movie or the original. The poster shown below is NOT my copy.  RED ONE (Adv?) : I never saw this recent release either. I stumbled on this (inexpensive) poster and was fooled at first. I didn't realize it picture of a poster...and the trompe l'oeil aspect of it appealed to me. So, I got it.  (And did I mention it was inexpensive?) DEATHROW GAMESHO...
