The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2022 Special Edition 1: Updates A GoGo

  UPDATE-A-GO-GO: The framing frenzy has continued. Below is a whole new crop of newly framed posters I am anxious to get up on my walls. Take a peek if you like. There's no extra charge! CRY OF THE WEREWOLF: I only got this poster a few months ago--not long before my move. I had never seen this poster before or heard of this flick. I still have not seen the film, but am thrilled to have this poster and was frantic to find it when I started framing things. It's not the most exciting poster--but it's an older, obscure horror title and that makes it exciting to me. MESSIAH OF EVIL: What a delight to have this rare-ish poster for the obscure MESSIAH OF EVIL. From what I read, the producers of AMERICAN GRAFITTI were making the film and ran out of money--leaving it unfinished. Some enterprising person came along, bought the footage, and assembled what there was of it. The movie doesn't make a whole lot of sense--but it is fascinating to watch anyway. Marianna Hill is a total...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2021 #15

Greetings! And welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! My stars! The clock is ticking on my upcoming move--and what do I do? Buy MORE posters! UGH! Here then, quickly, is a look at what I picked up in my last days left in California. It's not much, but... HERE it is: VILLAGE PEOPLE - RENAISSANCE (Album promotional poster ): Ha! Ha! Ha! I just have to laugh. On a Sunday evening, after an exhausting, full day of packing for my move, I got an invoice from Movie Poster Exchange. Of all of the things I had bid on, the ONLY poster I had won was this crazy craptastic Village People poster for the promotion of their (forgotten) album RENAISSANCE. So why would I bid on this? Well, just look at it. Too funny. It's no secret I like trash. I came to "discover" (if that is the right term) the Village People LONG after they were off of anyone's radar. They were just too campy and unintentionally funny not to dig them. Their RENAISSANCE album (which I bought, like all of...

Monster A GoGo's Shock-A-Rama Poster Show Retro Flashback: Top 10 Poster Purchases of 2017

Every year on a movie collecting forum website I am a member of,  AllPosterForum.com  (or just APF) they put up a post inviting members to list their favorite purchases for the year. Here is my contribution to the post from 2017: Hi. I can't believe no one has started this yet. I know there is still a little bit o' time left of December, but...What were your favorite poster purchases of 2017? For me, it was not nearly the banner year last year was. But that's okay. I still walked away with some nice things. 10: FRIDAY THE 13TH (British Quad) This was a long-wanted poster I honestly never thought I'd get. Yippie!!!! It is mine after all and is now hanging in my living room. Love it. 9: FLESHPOT ON 42ND STREET Another long-sought poster, FLESHPOT is by horror auteur (or, in his case, "horror auturd" ) Andy Milligan. Milligan also was known for his sexploitation flicks, most of which all copies have been destroyed (His distributor melted...
