The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #24

 

Welcome back! The siege of substandard posters continues! These are all recent pickups/new additions… but they are certainly not worth your time. Don’t believe me? Fine… sit through today’s Shock-O-Rama Poster Show then. But be warned! You’ll never get these moments of your life back!!! Uh-oh…. The lights are dimming! Leave now of you’ll have to see the show… Eeek!

CAPTAIN MARVEL (mini):

Here’s another mini poster. Why the hell would I buy a mini poster? I have no idea. If you’ve been following my posts, you’ll know that I somehow bought several. I’m kind of stupid that way. I don’t even know why I bought this… As it’s superhero related and I’m not a superhero person at all.Whatever. I’ll just keep posting one of my stupid mini poster purchases until they’re gone.

SOMETHING WILD:

I have this already. It wasn’t the best movie ever. It was… Well, let’s just say it had potential. It could’ve been better. It reminded me of.WHAT’S UP DOC? But it was different and not as well executed. You had the wild girl and the normal guy… Blah blah blah. I don’t even know why I’m talking about this movie. I don’t remember it hardly at all.. The poster was… Drumroll please… Cheap. Not in the nicest condition. It’s been handled, obviously. I have no idea what I was thinking when I bought another copy

METALSTORM-THE DESTRUCTION OF JARED SUN (3D):

I have this poster… Several copies of it probably. I’m a sucker for gimmicks, especially 3-D. Even though this was a crappy movie. I thought it on a double feature with JAWS 3-D back in the day. It sucked in 3-D then and it still sucks now. It was cheap. That’s been my main raisin d’etra lately. The corner looks like it’s cut off. It’s just under a placemat. Oops! I am no photographer.

MURDER BY DEATH:

I have a couple of copies of this already. This one went cheap. Why not? It was on this little auction site thing, and I was amazed that the seller didn’t give more description. One observed or commented that the house looked like the “Addams Family house”. Well, duh. The artist who did the poster was Charles Addams who created the Addams Family. His signature is in the bottom, right hand corner. I saw this movie as a kid in the theater… That’s how old I am. I really enjoyed the film then and I think it holds up fairly well today. I think that childhood experience seeing the film is why I continue to buy copies of the poster… Even though, like this one, it’s not in the most pristine of conditions. 

SIPERMAN III:

Normally, I don’t bother with sequels. There are a couple of sequels on here. This one was cheap and, although it was a crappy movie, it was still part of the Superman series. The Superman series was really the last superhero series I liked… With the exception of Tim Burton’s Batman movies in the late 80s and the 90s. It has some issues, but it was really inexpensive. So why not?

MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE:

I’m not really big on karate films… Or Martial art film films, I should say. I don’t know many titles off the top of my head, but I do remember this one coming out as a kid, and I do remember hearing about it. MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE sounded so amazing. I have seen clips of it and there’s this spinning blade on a string that they kind of throw out and retract, like a yo-yo. This was a cheap out to buy. I don’t know anything about martial arts posters really. I don’t know if there’s gonna be any sort of resale value down the road. I just know that it sounded freaky enough for me to want to buy the poster. I could just see a “flying guillotine” type thing in some cheesy horror movie. Ha! 

DEATH WISH 3:

OK, the DEATH WISH films are not something I would normally bother with. Sure, I have the original. But the sequels? Not my thing. This poster was super cheap and it was from Cannon films…. The company that went a little gonzo and filmed anything and everything. Some of the films they produced are just so bizarre-o!  Ha! Because this poster was so cheap, DEATH WISH, sequel, or not, I went for it.

HANDS OF THE RIPPER;

I am delighted to have come across this Hammer Films poster. I don’t think I had a copy before. I’m not exactly sure if I’ve seen this flick or not. I probably have. Is not in the most pristine of conditions, but it was super cheap. I’ll never display it. I wouldn’t display it if it were pristine. However, horror hound that I am., I couldn’t resist.

STRANGE BEHAVIOR:

I may have had this already. I am not sure. That’s OK. This is kind of rough., but I’m still thrilled to have it just in case I didn’t have one already. This is such an odd movie. It was kind of a “sleeper“ hit back in 1981. There were supposed to be a trilogy of “Strange” movies, but I think only one sequel, STRANGE INVADERS, showed up.  

BEWARE THE  BLACK WIDOW;

Oh my stars! This may not look like much to the average viewer, but to me it’s sexploitation gold! What are rare find… At least I think it is. Right out of Something Weird Video territory ….if you know, you know…comes this vintage 60s nudie. Sharon Kent (if you know, you know) stars “as the _ _ _ _”!?! (Oh my! What could that be? ) Ha! Very rare, I’m sure. I got this for… I don’t know? $15 ?$20? I’m not even sure if I’ve seen this or not. I just know it was a great bargain and I couldn’t pass it up. I am so thrilled to have this. Whoo hoo!!

And that’s all for today, kiddies. Nothing too exciting. Nothing really lame,  either. (Well, that’s kind of a lie. METAL STORM? CAPTAIN MARVEL? DEATH WISH 3? Snore…) But guess what? We are done. You can go about your business. Thanks for visiting. Please remember to put your trash in the trash receptacles located at the exits.
