Hi there. Welcome back. This post has slightly more than my usual 10. There are a lot of freebies on here. Instead of holding some back I just thought I’d throw up everything I have left. After this post, I have no more backlog of newly purchased posters to share. I am so broke and so in debt (medical bills) , I can’t afford anything anymore. While I am working on other posts about posters and poster projects… those are not about new releases and I’ll get to them eventually. I just wanted to get this one up since it was more or less ready. I’ve had to go back on a new chemotherapy regime. After chemo all last fall and winter and then my huge surgery in January, and then being on immunotherapy for seven months., it was discovered the immunotherapy was not working. My cancer has spread. So I am on a new type of chemotherapy. This one will last for six months at least. I have to go every week for three weeks, and then get the fourth week off. And then I repeat. There will be a total of 18 doses of this particular chemotherapy. Last year, I only had to endure eight doses and felt I was going to die. This is a different combination of drugs, so we’ll see how it goes. I doubt I will have anything new (poster-wise) for quite a while… if ever again. But let’s see what I have this time. Shall we? It’s not that exciting and it should go quickly… despite the extra posters being added in:
No idea what this… it was a freebie from a vendor. Thank you, I guess,,, but, hmm.
I know this is a spinoff og the HARRY POTTER movies. I was never a fan of that series. I saw the first one and maybe the second one on video. That’s it. I have purchased some of the posters now and again as an investment. I think the spinoff series wasn’t nearly as popular. Is it still even happening or is it over? I don’t know. I don’t really care. This was cheap and I got it to help pad out shipping costs.
SPEAK NO EVIL (40x60):
I have no idea what this is. I never heard of it. This is a size I never collect. It was a freebie from my local theater. Until I was putting this post together, I hadn’t even bothered to see what the poster was. Ha!
I didn’t see this, although I wouldn’t have mind seeing it. The first one was OK. I’m sure this was just a retread, tumbling into CHILD’S PLAY territory, albeit with AI. I don’t buy sequel posters for the most part… And I didn’t buy this one either. It was a freebie from a vendor.. Thank you.
UNTIL DAWN:
THE UNDERSTUDY: GRAVEYARD SHIFT II (video):
A while back I bought the video one sheet for GRAVEYARD SHIFT, a direct video vampire flick from the 80s VHS era. I remember seeing it back in the day and thinking it was just OK. It didn’t really float my boat, but I bought it because I knew it had a sequel. Not many direct video flicks had sequels… at least I don’t remember many having sequels. I usually don’t buy posters for sequels, but I came across this one and it was cheap. Why not?
Normally, I wouldn’t have purchased a prequel poster either. I did see this movie and it was OK. The poster was Uber cheap… Why not? Especially since it helped Pat out shipping costs for something else.
I know this is a recent movie, but I never saw it. With things streaming nowadays and the availability of digital posters, replacing paper posters… I’m not really sure. how big the print run was for this.. I have no idea how the movie is. It never played here. But I ran across it and thought why not get it? It was cheap. Everything I buy these days is cheap.
A while back I was very excited buy a copy of this poster. I’ve never seen the flick. However, I did dig the hourglass design with the sands of the hourglass being skulls. I had to have it. I bought it. That was featured in a previous post. Why show another one? This was a freebie at my local theater. I don’t think it actually played there, so I don’t know how they got the poster. But I’m glad I walked out with it.
This is another poster that I gleefully purchased a while back. It was too creepy not to. The movie was interesting. I went out of my way to see it. Why show another copy of this poster? The one in a previous post was one I purchased. This one was a freebie at the theater. It did play here… About a week or so after I saw it. I’m glad I snagged it and it went home with me. Why not get a free spare copy?
KISS ME, KISS ME, KISS ME and THE DEGENERATES (rerelease):
Oh my stars! Although he is one of the worst filmmakers ever, I am a huge fan of Andy Milligan. Most of his early work was nudie exploitation stuff. The story goes that the son of the distributor took all of those films and had them melted down to cash in on their silver content. For the most part, only Milligan‘s horror and horror-esque films survived. Imagine my thrill when I learned that two of these lost film films, KISS ME KISS ME KISS ME and THE DEGENERATES had been found and were being restored. They played at the Tribeca film Festival this summer. This is a copy of one of the posters used to advertise it. It’s only an 11 x 17. I don’t know if there were bigger or smaller sizes. I’m just lucky I got this. Eventually, they should be released by Severin, the cool boutique home video company that released the Milligan boxed set not too long ago. There’s also a Milligan documentary coming from the same people. I can’t wait to see them. I’m thrilled to have this poster. It’s already framed
I saw this… And I wasn’t thrilled. I like the first movie a lot. The second movie was also OK as I recall. But the third movie.? Not so much. I know there is a sequel to this third movie ready to go. I was surprised to see Ralph Finnes in it. I believe he is in the next sequel, which is due out very soon. But did this movie even make that much money? It just wasn’t the first movie or the second movie. It was set in the universe of it, but it was a completely different movie. Although I have a thing about avoiding buying posters for sequels… I did purchase this poster. It was cheap and again I used it to pad out shipping costs
NEON MANIACS (video):
This is a video release poster. I am aware there is a one sheet for the theatrical release, but I found this for a decent price. I recall seeing the movie back in the VHS error and was definitely not impressed. I know it has a cult following… for some reason… so I decided to pick up this video release. It wasn’t too expensive..
JAWS (50th Anniversary rerelease):
I have the original release poster for JAWS. In fact, I believe I have two of them. I also have the 3-D IMAX release poster from a year or two ago. And yet… Here I am getting sucked into the feeding frenzy for the 50th anniversary poster. I don’t know why I felt I needed this. I don’t have the money for it. But here it is. Did I even bother to see it? No. It didn’t play locally and I wasn’t about to go travel an hour or more to see it.… Especially when I saw the 3-D we release just a year or so ago. I did get suckered into buying the JAWS shark popcorn tin, and the Amity Island popcorn bucket at the AMC in Burlington, which is an hour away from me. I’m such a sucker for all things JAWS apparently.
And that is it. I hope you’ll come back when I eventually post my update post. Who knows? There may eventually be another new acquisition post… But I’m sure whatever comes my way will be something that was really cheap or free. Don’t be holding your breath for something exciting. Thank you for joining me now though. Did anything here strike your fancy or interest you? Probably not. But this is what I had.Have a groovy day. Thank you again for visiting.Cheers!
