The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #7

 

Welcome back…#*$@!!!  What am I doing back here so soon? I don’t know… I don’t know what is wrong with me. I am so beyond broke. Two longtime friends just died with in a few days of each other of cancer—one of them a year younger than me with basically the same cancer I have/had. I am still undergoing treatments  for my cancer and as I write this, I just don’t feel right. And yet here I am with another batch of new (to me ) posters. What am I doing? I have NO IDEA… Grr!

I know you probably hit the snack bar to have something fun to do while you sit through one of my dreary Shock-O-Rama poster shows. This will be quick because the titles just aren’t that exciting. Your snack bar treats won’t even be cold by the time we get through. Promise!

Anyway, let’s get this over with…


CAT VIDEO FEST 2024:

Yes, this is apparently a real poster from a real theatrical event. Why would I buy this? I’ll never hang it. I don’t know. I just don’t know. I don’t even have a cat. I’m more of a dog person. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.


BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR: 
In my last post, I had posted the video sheet for this film, thinking the film had gone straight to video. D’oh! Apparently, I’m stupid and it did play theatrically as this one sheet proves. Not that I needed it, but I decided to replace the video one sheet with this theatrical one.

TUMMY TROUBLE:
I don’t know what I was thinking buying this Roger Rabbit poster. I didn’t need it and will never display it. However, I do think Disney was wrong in stopping the Roger Rabbit cartoon series. How many are there anyway? Two? Three? After the hit film (WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT) and the ride at Disneyland’s Toon Town, you would think they would try to keep the property alive better. I have a feeling Roger Rabbit is doomed to be forgotten in the bigger scheme of Disney things.
THE LOVE WITCH:
I already have a copy. Did I need another? No. Will I ever hang it? No. Did I ever see the movie? No. 

10 TO MIDNIGHT: 
I don’t know why I bought this poster other than some guy on YouTube was talking about his poster collection and mentioned having this poster, which is a nothing poster really. It’s not highly sought after or anything. I did see the movie a couple of times and it was actually kind of good (in a sleazy way). I think I just got it though because the guy on YouTube had one and I thought I needed one too, for some reason. I probably already have one. Who knows? But the title, 10 to Midnight…  Is that saying 10 PM to midnight or is that saying 10 minutes to midnight? I don’t really know. Does it matter? And isn’t it stupid that that’s what I’m walking away with after buying this poster… The questions about the title and what it means exactly. Whoopie…

BREAKUP AT A WEDDING:
I have no idea what this movie is and I know nothing about it. I have no idea why I picked this up. None. Or maybe I was padding out shipping costs? That’s probably it.


TERROR EN EL ESPACIO (PLANET OF THE. VAMPIRES) (Spain):
I did not need this Spanish copy of Mario Bava’s PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES. I already have the US one sheet. This wasn’t that expensive, but I’ll never display it and I just didn’t need it. It’s not that exciting anyway.

PROFECIA DIABOLICA (THE EVIL) (Spain):
THE EVIL is kind of an underrated and forgotten horror flick from the 1970s. I didn’t need this poster though. I already have the US one sheet… Even though it’s not that exciting.


THE INVISIBLE BOY (re-release):
I don’t know why I bought this kiddie matinee re-release poster for THE INVISIBLE BOY. I already have a copy, and I know I will never display it. Despite the appearance of Robby the robot on the poster it’s just not something I can see ever being on my walls. I’ve never even seen the movie.


FLASH GORDON (Italian):
This is the Cracker Jack prize in this batch… at least for me. I have long wanted this FLASH GORDON Italian poster. I might actually already have a copy. That wouldn’t be a surprise really. This is a nice poster though. Will it ever be framed and hung? Probably not, but it has a better chance than the other ones from this post.

And that makes 10. I told you this was a no frills (and QUICK!) poster show. Now get back to enjoying your snack bar treats!
CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #12

  Hi there. Yes, I’m back again. Really, I was in a weird, crazed buying frenzy recently. I have enough posters for at least one and a half more posts… But I’ll try to pace myself and hold back a bit. These aren’t that exciting. Actually, neither is the next batch. The batch after that has one or two things I’m especially excited about, but we’ll have to see what trickles in to fill the rest of that post up. But I’m getting ahead of myself. We are on this post. Let’s take a gander at it,  shall we? I hope it won’t be too disappointing. Perhaps there’ll be a poster on here or two that you haven’t seen before. THE QUIET EARTH: While I think I’ve heard of this movie before, and I think I may have seen this poster before, I’m not quite sure. If I have seen this poster before, I don’t think I actually owned it. Like my last post, this has a few posters that were part of several lots. No, I am not posting all of the posters in the lots. Not all of them appealed to me. This one, thou...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #13

Hello. Here we are again. There’s nothing new to see here. Every poster is either VHS-era garbage or something you’ve seen before. There is one outlier that doesn’t seem to belong, but it’s one that I’ve been looking for forever. Even though I wasn’t actively looking for it when I finally got it. Huh? Never mind. Let’s just take a look and see what we have today… CURSE III: BLOOD SACRIFICE (video) :  I don’t know what I was thinking when I decided to track down the posters for THE CURSE series . For those who have never seen it or heard of it, THE CURSE series is a mostly direct-to-video series of horror flick that are NOT related to each other at all, except by title. I have the theatrical (I think) one sheet for the original movie. I’m not sure if I have a copy of the part two poster or not, and I may have copies of parts three and four already… Or not. I am not sure. But here is the poster for CURSE III: BLOOD SACRIFICE. Yes, as you can, guess, it was cheap. Did I see the movie...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #11

Welcome back. Now that the James Bond stuff is out of the way (see my last post), I can trudge to some B-movie stuff. A lot of this stuff came from lot purchases. I have a lot of these posters already, and have shared them in previous posts. Not all of the posters from the various lot purchases will be shared. Don’t panic. I’ve just decided to share these as a way to look back at these B-flicks and reflect on them a bit. THE MEPHISTO WALTZ: This was an early movie in the 70s satanic panic cycle, that was started with ROSEMARY’S BABY in the mid 60s. If you haven’t seen it, you’re not really missing much. What I do remember most from the commercials was a dog with a human head. Imagine my annoyance when it just turned out to be a dog with a mask on its head that someone placed on it as a joke. There was no “human headed” dog in the plot. Alan Alda I identify so much with being Hawkeye on M*A*S*H, that it’s hard to see him in this movie. At least for me, this is an instance where it’s har...
