The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #6

  Welcome back… Oh lordy, did I get myself in a pickle. Oops! Oh crap. And you’d think I would have LEARNED MY LESSON after all of this time. Eeek! There was a recent auction that had lots and lots of things I would love to have, including about a half dozen bucket list titles. Well, I went through and bid on a lot of them during the pre-auction bidding, never expecting to get any of them. Oops. I got several (and as I write this opening bit, the auction is still going—with my bids still on many items!) Yikes! We will see what happens when the dust clears, but UGH! I screwed myself silly. Let’s take a look at the damage… oh my!  (But these first four titles are NOT part of the auction fiasco.) ED WOOD ( Retrospective ): Golly, I do NOT even remember buying this. I noticed it in my eBay purchases. What??? Hmm. Yes, it is a thing I would buy, …but I really was surprised to see I had purchased it. And yikes! It’s a HUGE French g-r-a-n-d-e (Sorry T) poster. Geez! Imago having a gi...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #8

  And, what!?! We're B-A-C-K!!! That was...quick. (It just seems that way as I delayed the previous post until I finished my write up on my Something Weird Video adrventure, which I had linked to the page. I've already been working on this one for several weeks.) Truth be told, though, about half of these became mine in a 12 hour period. It is no secret that I am now disabled. I live on a VERY modest income with very little in the bank to fall back on. There is a saying, "You can't take it with you." There should also be a saying that says "You can't enjoy it if you don't have it." That seemed to have been my mindset during a recent eMovieposter auction. Despite the fact that everything was on linen--there were so many titles I wanted. Things were fairly cheap...until the very end. But... Geez! Dipping into my meager savings was... EXTREMELY STUPID and FOOLISH.  But, it happened. Let's take a look: PRO BALL CHEERLEADERS: What the hell is this...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2021 #12

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! Today's haul is eclectic as usual (is it usually?), but I think there'll be a few surprises in store for you. Anyway, sit back, get comfy, and let's begin... SPACEHUNTER: ADVENTURES IN THE FORBIDDEN ZONE (3D glasses) : I know! This is NOT a poster. It is still movie related, though...and I am a sucker for gimmicks and all things 3D. I had NO IDEA these glasses existed. I know that many 3D movies in the 80s had  glasses made specifically for them--but many others used generic glasses. I have been hunting for a pair of ROTTWEILER 3D glasses (which I have seen pictures of, but never been able to find a pair to buy) and I have been hoping to find a pair of AMITYVILLE 3D glasses (if they even exist). I had never seen nor heard of 3D glasses being made for SPACEHUNTER (which, despite my love for 3D, I have never seen! EEK!). When I saw these, I pounced. While the SPACEHUNTER glasses are not that spectacular, they fit into my collecti...
