The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #9

 

Yes, I am back. Already. Oh my stars. My buying frenzy does NOT seem to be waning at all. Dang. Here’s a look at the stuff that I salvaged, er… picked and added to my collection this time. (Whoopie…) Take a look. It does end on a (very) good note, though. 

HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER 2-  MASK OF SANITY (video):
LAME. poster —-and a video poster at that. Did this ever play theatrically? It was not NEARLY as good as the original (and I only a video poster for that), but now I have both. 

SEXTETTE:
I have one of these, but…it has some issues. Hopefully I’m trading up with this copy. This is an awful movie…but it boggles my mind that it was even made. Mae West (in her first film in decades and also her LAST film) stars an 80-something woman on her honeymoon with her latest husband, (a very young) Timothy Dalton. Ringo Starr. George Hamilton, Tony Curtis, Alice Cooper, and others show up. They are all either Mae’s ex-husbands or former suitors who are still wild about her. Rona Barrett (the queen of Hollywood gossip in the 70s) shows up, as does Don DeLoise, Kieth Moon, and Regis Philbin also pop up.  Just jaw-dropping. I may need to watch this again. Ha!


O.S.S 117:
I’ve NEVER seen an O.S.S. 117 film. I THINK they are like Bond films but from France (?), but the first O.S.S. 117 film  (O.S.S. IS NOT DEAD) was in 1957… long before Bond hit the screen.  There have been at least 10 of these films (the most recent in 2021). This looks to be the second (?)  film in the series. I have the first poster…so, as dull as it is, I picked this up. Kerwin Matthews is best known for playing Sinbad in THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD. He also appeared in at least two of the O.S.S. 117 flicks. 


ARABIAN ADVENTURE:
I’ve I had one of these already, but it’s a fun poster I was padding out postage, as usual. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this movie. Christopher Lee? Peter Cushing? It’s gotta be fun. It looks fun. Anyone see it? Hmm… Since it doesn’t seem to be so easily viewable on the landscape, perhaps it is a dud. You think after all these years, I’ve seen it. But no.

ANDY WARHOL’S HEAT (a.k.a. ANDY WARHOL’S HOLLYWOOD):
I have a very similar poster to this, but it has a more colorful framing around the image. I didn’t need this, But a movie poster with Sylvia Miles’boobs hanging out and Joe Dallesandro’s pubes on display? It’s not every day you see that in a poster. Ha! I’ll resell this down the road. The censoring on the boobs are my doing. Are pubes legal to show? Perhaps I should’ve crossed those out too. However, of the trio of films this one is always grouped with  (FLESH, TRASH, and HEAT), this is by far my least favorite.

DEADLY DREAMS (video):
I’m pretty sure I have one of these already. Maybe not.. It’s not that good of a movie anyway. It stars Mitchell Anderson, best known for playing Sean Brody, the youngest son of Roy Scheider and Lorraine Gary’s characters in  JAWS in the sequel JAWS: THE REVENGE. He’s the one that gets killed in the boat at the very beginning. DEADLY I can DREAMS, as I recall, is an instantly forgettable, direct-to-video slasher.  Yes, this is a video poster. I don’t think it ever played theatrically. I don’t think there is a theatrical poster for it.

INFECTION:
I’ve never heard of this. It looks Asian, maybe. But really I’ve never heard of this. I just stumbled on the poster by accident. I know nothing about the movie, but I couldn’t let the poster go by. It wasn’t that expensive at all.

MOON OF SCORPIO (video):
I don’t know what this is. It’s direct-to-video, whatever it is. I was taken by the cool image though. I picked it up because it was inexpensive. I hope it’s a good movie but I’m sure it’s crap. Anybody? Anybody?


REFORM SCHOOL GIRLS:
I’m pretty sure I have one of these as well. But it’s such a fun poster  and such a cheesy movie by Tom DeSimone, who made HELL NIGHT and the amazingly jaw-droppingly camp first half hour of  TERROR IN THE JUNGLE.

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (linenbacked):
Finally! After all of these years, I finally scored an INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. Yes, it is unfortunately linenbacked, but I’ve given up looking for one that wasn’t. This one came my way and… OK. Sold. I just wish I could afford it. Hmm… Maybe this movie should’ve been called INVASION OF THE WALLET SNATCHERS. 

OK. That’s it. Go away now. I will be back… Sooner than you think.. Thanks for visiting the thread.
Cheers!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #17

  Welcome back…  This post is one of the weakest entries of late. That is saying a lot, as the previous entry was pretty bad. However, the next entry will be even more pathetic than this one. I’m winding down from my recent purchases… Finally. I can’t afford anything. But let’s take a look at when I have this time, shall we? This will be quick. SURGIKILL (special) : I’m not sure what this is. It’s only 9 1/2 x 8 1/2“ long. It is some promotional piece for Andy Milligan’s “ SURGIKILL”.  “SURGI-What!?! You’ve never heard of it, probably.  I do not know why, but I am an anti-Milligan aficionado. SURGIKILL Was one of his last movies. It went straight to  video. I caught it on DVD. It’s OK… Certainly nothing to write home about. But I couldn’t not get this piece. It is allegedly from Andy Milligan‘s estate…And was cheap. POLTERGEIST I I: Normally, I wouldn’t bother with sequel posters. But this was part of a lot. So why not? The movie itself… Not so good. THE SATAN B...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #16

Welcome back. As I write this, the very tail end of my recent poster-buying mania is coming to a close. Well, I still have to worry about auctions on Thursday of this week, it looks like I only have to worry about one poster. Whether or not I get it remains to be seen. However, at the moment, there are two posters in this post. I have one from recent auctions. One of them, the one that I am most displeased with winning, is fairly obvious. The other one, not so much. The one I may or may not win on Thursday? I think that will be obvious as well by what I intend to write about it should I win it, but we shall see. Can you figure out which posters I want in these last auctions before coming to my senses? Of the 10 title shown here two (or three) of them are from those final crazed auctions. TEENAGE COWGIRLS: What the hell was I thinking? On the tail end of my weird cancer buying spree (inspired by my seemingly surviving it—-although I’m not out of the woods yet—while two longtime friends ...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #14

  And welcome back… With this post, I am hopefully wrapping up all the posters I purchased in my recent mania. ( Actually, as I write this, there are still a few auctions out there. I have bids on that haven’t closed. While I doubt I’ll get anything, there’s always the worry that I will and that those purchases will spill over into another post. Eek!) As per my (sometimes) usual, I’ve got a lot of trash and a few treasures. I also have a very bad headache. So let’s get on with it already… VAN HELSING : This must’ve been a lot purchase. Although it’s based on a character. DRACULA , I had absolutely zero interest in seeing this movie. Zero. TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD (French) : I have long been a fan of the BLIND DEAD films . To my knowledge, only three of the four were released in the US and have one sheets. The first one, TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD , was released as just THE BLIND DEAD with a misleading poster image making it seem like a knockoff of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD .   RETUR...
