Monster A GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show

Surprise! I am back---with a new selection of posters...and they are NOT (gasp!) from a "lot" purchase this time. Ha! I threw together this post quickly based on one poster (you'll figure out which one as you go down). I needed to redeem myself after the travesty that was my last few posts.

Well, I'll get to all of that later. Go catch the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. The lights are just starting to dim.... THAT'LL BE THE DAY  (British quad) : I was totally unfamiliar with this title (that apparently was successful enough to spawn a sequel called STARDUST) when I spotted this British quad. It's a little rough (missing a corner) and not anything I wanted really. It just came with the quad below it (which I wanted).
