The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #7

  Welcome back…#*$@!!!  What am I doing back here so soon? I don’t know… I don’t know what is wrong with me. I am so beyond broke. Two longtime friends just died with in a few days of each other of cancer—one of them a year younger than me with basically the same cancer I have/had. I am still undergoing treatments  for my cancer and as I write this, I just don’t feel right. And yet here I am with another batch of new (to me ) posters. What am I doing? I have NO IDEA… Grr! I know you probably hit the snack bar to have something fun to do while you sit through one of my dreary Shock-O-Rama poster shows. This will be quick because the titles just aren’t that exciting. Your snack bar treats won’t even be cold by the time we get through. Promise! Anyway, let’s get this over with… CAT VIDEO FEST 2024: Yes, this is apparently a real poster from a real theatrical event. Why would I buy this? I’ll never hang it. I don’t know. I just don’t know. I don’t even have a cat. I’m more of...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #5

  Hello. Welcome back. As I told you last time, I had enough posters for another quick post. I bought a lot of, mostly, crap between this post and the previous one. For the most part, they were cheapish. Although most of them, I realize, I will never hang and will probably end up getting rid of. There’s nothing all that fabulous here. The first two especially are pretty lame. Take a look or don’t. Like the last batch, I am less than proud of this post, so let’s quickly run through and get it done.., BEYOND DARKNESS (video) :   This cheap-o video poster is not much. Known in its home country, Italy, as La Casa 5, it’s better known around the world as BEYOND DARKNESS. The flick tells the story of a priest and his family who move into a house where, unbeknownst to them,  20 witches were burned to death. AMITYVILLE HORROR-type phenomena appears.For years I got this flick confused with SUPERSTITION, which is also an over-the-top haunted house flick about a family being terror...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #1

  Happy 2025!! As I write this, we are four days into the new year. I have not finished collecting whatever ten posters I’ll end up sharing with you yet, but I have a good start. I wanted to begin ASAP just in case I can acquire more posters and get this up before my surgery on January 22nd. It’s a BIG surgery (removing a third of my esophagus, all of my stomach, and re-routing my small intestine to the remaining portion of my esophagus). I might not survive it.  But, welcome to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show anyway! I hope you enjoy it.  MOANA 2: This was a free one. It has some dings...but was still free. Never saw the movie or the original. The poster shown below is NOT my copy.  RED ONE (Adv?) : I never saw this recent release either. I stumbled on this (inexpensive) poster and was fooled at first. I didn't realize it picture of a poster...and the trompe l'oeil aspect of it appealed to me. So, I got it.  (And did I mention it was inexpensive?) DEATHROW GAMESHO...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2021 Special Edition: Top 20 Poster Purchases During 2021

 It's that time of the year again--the END. While 2021 was a better year than 2020, it still had a lot to be desired. But that's not to say it was a bad year for poster acquisitions---at least from my perspective. I didn't buy all that many---certainly far fewer than in previous years. However, in preparing this list and looking back on what I got in 2021, I was really pleased with what I had scored.  The ones I've added to this year's list are my favorite pickups. Some things will be noticeably absent, such as my original STAR WARS or CHINATOWN or even the obvious horror hit HALLOWEEN KILLS. While all of those are nice (as are many others I picked up as well), the ones below are the ones that really "did it" for me. Take a gander, if you will. They are in reverse order--with my Number 1 poster pick at the bottom. You can click on the titles to see the original post when I first shared them--and what I wrote about them at the time, if you want. 20:  HELP: ...
