The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #5

 

Hello. Welcome back. As I told you last time, I had enough posters for another quick post. I bought a lot of, mostly, crap between this post and the previous one. For the most part, they were cheapish. Although most of them, I realize, I will never hang and will probably end up getting rid of. There’s nothing all that fabulous here. The first two especially are pretty lame. Take a look or don’t. Like the last batch, I am less than proud of this post, so let’s quickly run through and get it done..,

BEYOND DARKNESS (video): 

This cheap-o video poster is not much. Known in its home country, Italy, as La Casa 5, it’s better known around the world as BEYOND DARKNESS. The flick tells the story of a priest and his family who move into a house where, unbeknownst to them,  20 witches were burned to death. AMITYVILLE HORROR-type phenomena appears.For years I got this flick confused with SUPERSTITION, which is also an over-the-top haunted house flick about a family being terrorized by the ghost of a witch. SUPERSTITION is better (not by a lot, but…), but eh… this was cheap!

BRAM STOKER’S THE MUMMY (video):

I know nothing of this movie. It was just another cheapo. I don’t know why I bought it. I’ll never hang out. Louis Gossett Jr must’ve really needed the work…

MOONRAKER (Advance):

I have the regular MOONRAKER one sheet, but I didn’t have this advance one sheet. I do love my James Bond movies, but this one is one of my least favorites. It got too slapsticky towards the end. I didn’t need it, but as a completist (or, at least, I try to be), even though I will never hang it, I thought it would be nice to have. 

THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE:

I didn’t need this. I probably won’t ever hang it. It’s a good movie and I like the colors on this poster, but...

DEATH OF A UNICORN: 

I’ve heard of this movie, but of course it never came here.I know it’s a horror/comedy, or at least that’s what I’ve been led to believe. There are three 1 sheets for this movie. I picked them all up, because… Why not? (I found this—and the next 4 posters after it—on Dale Dilts’  eBay page, MoviePosters4U. He’s a known and trusted dealer.)

DEATH OF A UNICORN:

I’m not really sure what this movie is about. The creatures on this poster, and the one above, certainly look nothing like a unicorn to me. 

DEATH OF A UNICORN:

I think I’d like to see this movie if I’m able to. Has anyone seen it? Worth the effort? It’s an A24 movie. That’s at least promising.

HELL OF A SUMMER:

I know nothing about this movie. I do like the throwback, quasi- FRIDAY THE 13TH vibe the poster has. The tagline ”Pack your body bags” also works for me. I didn’t need this. And I would rather have a poster with artwork as opposed to the typical photo assemblage, but no one asked me…

UNTIL DAWN:

Zowie! I know nothing about this movie at all. The artwork, suggesting an hourglass with a spooky house at the top and skulls raining down like sand in the bottom half, I find intriguing. It’s probably gonna be crap, but… the “Every night is a different nightmare” tagline is tempting. 

THE GHOST THAT WALKS ALONE (linen):

I had never heard of this movie before. It looks like a tame, silly (low budget) murder mystery made to look like a comic horror flick. It’s old school and obscure enough to be interesting. I’m sorry I had to use the EMovie image. I’m sure they sent me a good copy, but in my condition I don’t what I did with it. Oh well… No big deal. 

And that is 10. Not the most exciting batch I know, but it’s still better than the bulk of the previous post. Anyway, that’s all I have. Thanks for visiting the page and taking a look. 

Cheers!
