But we’re here… We might as well take a look while I try to calm down. (But that won’t be easy. I think I already have enough for still another post right after this one… Or soon after! Damn! And Damn me!) Take your seats. The show begins now….
THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE:
I love me some Brady Bunch. The movie version, at least this first one, was great. I already have a copy of this poster… (Maybe more than one?) However, when I was going through my posters recently, trying to get them organized, I discovered that my copy of the poster (at least the one I came across—as I said, I may have others) was (GASP!) FOLDED! How could that be? Just in case I don’t have another copy I wanted an unfolded copy. I always thought the poster could’ve been so much better than this. The poster for the sequel was a little better. Neither will ever be hung though. But whatever. It’s still The Brady Bunch.
SCOOBY DOO (International):
I have always been a big fan of SCOOBY DOO. When they announced the live action movie, I was skeptical. However, when it finally came out, I actually liked it. I thought the cast did a great job bringing cartoon characters to live. I also thought that the villain, once unmasked, was brilliant. The sequel was… kind of lame. (Ruh-Roh) I think it ruined the franchise. It must’ve because the next live action one was a direct-to-video prequel…that I don’t think I’ve even watched yet. I may have this poster already. I know I have the US poster and this one looks kind of familiar now that I already have it. Oh well. It, like the other Scooby posters, will not be displayed. My favorite Scooby Doo poster was the one SCOOBY DOO ON ZOMBIE ISLAND. If any of them go up, that one will. I used to have it up at my old house. But this one’s kinda nice too… It’s just not Zombie Island nice.
TINTORERA:
How many copies of this poster do I have? Two? Three? Here’s another one. This movie is the worst of the worst as far as JAWS ripoffs go. However, the poster art has always been one of my favorites in the shark genre. I mean, the JAWS posters had the shark approaching their victims, but this one has the shark with the victim in its mouth. Oh my stars! Unfortunately, nothing like that happens in the film. The movie is so dull, even the shark seems to fall asleep. Starring Susan George towards the end of her career as a leading lady (this is a pretty low point) and a pre-THREE’S COMPANY Priscilla Barnes. Also starring genre faves, Andres Garcia and Hugo Stiglitz.
BLOOD BEACH:
Just when you thought it was safe to read the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show… it’s BLOOD BEACH. I already have a copy of BLOOD BEACH, at least I think I do. Something in my head tells me that the copy I have is messed up. So I wanted another one just to be sure… The movie didn’t do much for me when I saw it in the theaters back in the day. However, with that JAWS 2 tagline riff and the accompanying poster art, there’s something about the poster that just works.
AMIN: THE RISE AND FALL:
I already have one of these…but I picked up another as they seem to be pretty rare. This is an ugly, shocking exploitation flick (although not as horrible as what went on under Amin, I’m sure)…that surprisingly has fallen through the cracks. (I’ve only ever seen it on a bootleg DVD years ago.) At this late date, I don’t remember much at all—just maybe some body parts in a refrigerator and that sensation that you need to take a shower you get after watching some of the most exploitatively sick and disturbing movies out there. (Or maybe I’m remembering something else?) Whatever the case—rare poster. Glad to pick it up.
MANDY:
I picked this up to pad out the cost of shipping for another poster. I’ve seen this listed elsewhere before, but it always goes for a crazy amount of money and I don’t know why. I wasn’t wild about the movie when I saw it. Maybe I missed something? Anyway, when I saw this double-sided copy, because I’ve seen them go for biggish dollars in the past, I thought I would get myself one too. But really, did I miss something with this movie? I couldn’t tell you one thing about it now. It did nothing for me.
DIRECTOR’S CUT:
This is a newish horror flick that was recently making the rounds to theaters. I never saw it. I don’t know how much play it got in cinemas. With streaming so prevalent, I don’t think it saw many screens.I picked this poster up, not because the movie is good… Remember, I haven’t seen it… but because I think it is a fairly obscure poster. I don’t think many were printed. Of course, I could Be very wrong… And I probably am. Oh well.
BRING HER BACK:
I have no idea what this movie is about. However, when I saw this image… So creepy and freaky… I couldn’t help but buy a copy.The movie will probably be disappointing, but this poster is so heebie-jeebie awesome! (At least to me.) Spooky! Eek! From A24? Hmm…
And that’s it. That is 10. Whoopie do. As I said, I already have more lined up. I think I have enough for a whole new posting, but I’m not entirely sure. Hopefully, I stop buying. Hopefully, if I continue to buy, I stop . buying crap. Well, some of these titles may be worth it, I’m not exactly enthused about any of them.
OK. I’m in my jammies. I need to hustle off to beddy bye and dance my way to dreamland. Sweet poster dreams to you. Cheers!
