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 #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...
