The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #9

  Welcome! Get your tickets and take your seat.The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is about to begin. I am still disabled and only getting worse…yet, uh, um…I’m spending money on my ADDICTION to posters that I really have NO BUSINESS doing. Why? Because I am STUPID. (But I LOVE staring at them…) Waaaaagh! Anyway—-my stupidity is your viewing pleasure (or however you want to term it…).  Here we go… THE LADY IN THE MORGUE (1942 RE-RELEASE) : This isn't something that I'd usually buy. I've never seen this old mystery/whodunit flick. Despite this being a re-release poster (The original, with completely different art, hails from 1938.), I decided to go ahead and buy this 81-year-old gem for several reasons. I like the monster-ish hands reaching in at the couple. I dig the purple/green color scheme. The old school font is awesome...and one of its co-stars is Barbara Pepper, who brilliantly played Mrs. Ziffel (Arnold the pig's "mom") on GREEN ACRES. Ha! The most important r...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2022 #5--NOT Dead Yet

Greetings! The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is b-a-c-k!!! This time, the posters aren't so great. It's a series of posters for B- (and/or Z-) movies! Yes, it's total trash-o-rama time, a bargain-basement bonanza. (In other words--CHEAP thrills, emphasis on the word "cheap".) O' the horror! Let's take a look... TIME TRACKERS (Video) : I have no idea what this movie is--but judging from the art, it's some time travel comedy. Actually, I don't even remember where or why I got this. I can guess that it was CHEAP though. (I'm all about the cheap these days...) WITCHCRAFT (Video) : A few months back, I scored (if you can call it that) a poster for, I think, WITCHCRAFT III . I have NEVER seen the WITCHCRAFT movies, all ( I believe) were direct-to-video erotic-horror cheapies. (I just looked it up. As of this writing, there are 16 in the series! WHY?) While it might be fun to track the actual flicks down and give them a watch some day (or NOT), when thi...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2021 #3

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! I have been striving (really...I HAVE) to only get good posters I either "need" or that I find "nice". Unfortunately, some repeats got me to buy them again and a few others aren't exactly What I would call "nice" or things that are "needed". Oh well... It is what it is. But you were foolish...er, lucky enough to venture in today. Have a seat. Let me help you get a better view... There's NO getting away from the poster show today.  Mwah-ha-ha-ha-haaaa! GUMS: You may be scratching your head thinking I recently got one of these posters. You would be correct. However, when I got mine, I realized there was a chunk of paper missing and I needed a replacement...so I got this. You may also be thinking that, at the time I posted the original poster, I was none too excited about it. That would also be correct. So why buy another copy if I'm not wild about it? Because I'm a dork/spazoid. Ha! STAR...
