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 BUG:
Most of the posters in this post are from a lot purchase. I didn’t put every single poster in. Some of them just suck too much. I’ve never heard of this movie before. The poster, well, not great, is new to me. I don’t know the film. I don’t know the poster. So why not included?

CUJO:
I probably already have a copy of this. It’s not the best poster in the world and it’s not the best Stephen King adaptation.… But it’s Cujo. Woof.

LINK:
Another poster for a movie I’ve never heard of. Yes, it was from the lot I got. I might as well include it.

FIRESTARTER:
another substandard, Stephen King adaptation. I probably already have this poster, too. Who knows? Who cares? Yes, it was a lot purchase.

CAT’S EYE:
For those few who don’t know, this is yet another Stephen King adaptation that’s not really a Stephen King adaptation. It’s a collection of short stories of his-not a novel.adaptation. FIRESTARTER‘s, Drew Barrymore is back for this one as well.

THE FINAL CONFLICT:
Yes, another lot purchase. Who doesn’t have a cheap copy of this poster? This was a box off his bomb, I believe. It’s for strike against it was that it didn’t really identify itself as THE OMEN 3. I mean, it mentions being part of the OMEN trilogy, but… Certainly, this is my least favorite of the three original films. If you add in the fourth TV movie, this takes a step up. But that’s not saying much. This could’ve been so much more, but they obviously were keeping an eye on the budget. Too bad.

PSYCHO II:
I actually really liked the sequel. Yes this is another lot poster. I probably already have a copy of this or two. It was much better than PSYCHO 3 Or that TV movie (PSYCHO 4?) that was actually sort of a prequel with a young Norman Bates. But I did find this interesting. Not for purists, but go into it with an open mind if you haven’t seen it. The poster itself is just OK.

LEVIATHAN:
I saw this flick when it came out. I don’t remember much about it. There were a couple of other similarly themed movies that came out about the same time. Why is this lot poster taking the coveted last spot in this post? Because I don’t think I had a copy before. The art isn’t that exciting, but it’s new to me in the sense that I didn’t have it before.

And that is your 10 posters for this time. As I told you, it was short and sweet… And utterly boring. I have one more post ready to go. Nothing exciting there either… But I’ll get it up in about a week or so. Thanks for visiting this time. 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...
