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

  Another year down, another year of posters passes. Although my poster purchasing took a huge nosedive this year, the poster gods still smiled on me. I actually managed to eke out some decent paper this year--not spectacular, but decent. In ascending order, here are my top 10 scores for the year: 10) CRUEL JAWS : Here's a prime example of the phrase 'One man's trash is another man's treasure.' Although this is in rough-ish shape ("Good to Very Good"), I love my JAWS ripoffs. CRUEL JAWS is one of the worst (cobbled together using footage from other JAWS ripoffs, including the the one Universal sued for copyright infringement and won, GREAT WHITE aka THE LAST SHARK ).

The reason I even bothered with this poster is because, as a kid, I loved this silly film. I haven't seen it in decades though and, like I said, I have a copy of the poster already. Oh well. $5 plus shipping is not the worst thing I've ever was...
