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. There is nothing overly fabulous, but I hope you'll see something you like along the way. Let's take a look. Shall we? THE DAY OF THE LOCUST: When this movie came out in the mid-70s, I thought it might be a horror movie. THE DAY OF THE LOCUST, to me, sounded like one. I mean, there was THE DEADLY MANTIS, TARANTULA and BLACK SCORPION, why couldn't DAY OF THE LOCUST be about a giant locust? It isn't. I love the faux 1930's style of this David Edward Byrd poster (even though it was done in the 1970s).  It's not really my thing, though---but I have a story behind this poster and what it means to me. (And be warned--it's quite long and gruesome....

Welcome to another edition of my Classic Collection---those posters I had BEFORE I started posting online. Today's offering is not all that exciting. There is nothing you urgently need to see. So sit back, relax and let the show begin. SHARKY'S MACHINE: An old Burt Reynolds poster (never saw the movie) from the 80s. This is sitting in my "sell pile" (where ever that ended up...in a box somewhere). Now would be the time to do it, in the wake of the actor's passing. Hmm. Where did I put it. I think this poster came in a "lot".  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME: I've gotten other copies of this same poster that I have posted online. But this is the original copy I had. I had it framed and would hang it in my entry way around my birthday every year. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3: I saw this TWICE in the theaters back in the day--gimmick freak that I am. I still have the glasses from it somewhere. While this pos...

Welcome back to another Classic Collection posting, featuring posters I had before I started posting them online. Here are ten more for your perusal. Nothing too fabulous necessarily (and my photography is TERRIBLE), but stuff I have. VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (Fake? Benton Window Card) : I don't usually buy/like window cards. I got this (and I think I have another for KING KONG purchased at/around the same time) early on from eBay just for the title (One of my all-time favorite bad movies). It was only after getting it that I found out that there were FAKES floating around. It had never occurred to me that anyone would want to bother making fake movie posters (or--gasp!--want to bother running off fake window cards), but based on the amount the seller had and the fabulous condition, I am sure it is a fake--despite his denials at the time. Whatever. This got framed---and I really have nothing to replace it with (except, perhaps, that fake KONG), so it stayed in the fr...
