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

  Welcome! Get your tickets and take your seat.The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is about to begin. I am still disabled and only getting worse…yet, uh, um…I’m spending money on my ADDICTION to posters that I really have NO BUSINESS doing. Why? Because I am STUPID. (But I LOVE staring at them…) Waaaaagh! Anyway—-my stupidity is your viewing pleasure (or however you want to term it…).  Here we go… THE LADY IN THE MORGUE (1942 RE-RELEASE) : This isn't something that I'd usually buy. I've never seen this old mystery/whodunit flick. Despite this being a re-release poster (The original, with completely different art, hails from 1938.), I decided to go ahead and buy this 81-year-old gem for several reasons. I like the monster-ish hands reaching in at the couple. I dig the purple/green color scheme. The old school font is awesome...and one of its co-stars is Barbara Pepper, who brilliantly played Mrs. Ziffel (Arnold the pig's "mom") on GREEN ACRES. Ha! The most important r...

Hi there. Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. The last time we met, I announced that I was stepping back from poster shopping for a while---and was actually planning to weed out my collection and send stuff off to auction, as I was getting into dire financial straits. Then the coronavirus situation happened. Crap. Selling things is on hold. Because I am a nurse and will probably have to deal with the virus directly in the very near future, I decided to go ahead and prep the next Shock-O-Rama Poster Show (even though there isn't much in it) in case I get sick. I am older, with underlying health issues and male...in other words, I fit the profile of 70% of those who have died so far. Yep, I'm SCREWED. Is this my swan song? I certainly hope NOT. It's not the best example to go out on. We will have to wait and see (but if I never post again--um--you'll know why...). Let's take a look and see what (CRAP) I have today... WHO IS KILLING THE ...

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 2016. Because I had written about the posters when I had originally gotten them, there is no description or information about them shown on the page. I've added a link to the pages each poster was originally discussed. Just click the title of the poster and the link should be in place to take you to that page: Hmm. Last year another member started a post asking us to show our favorite poster purchases of the year. He posted it in early December...and I've been waiting for it to reappear this year. Unless I'm blind and/or he posted it in a different section, I do NOT see it anywhere. So I thought I'd start it (sorry if I'm stepping on any toes) as the year is about to expire.  Last year I only posted 10. Others had a lot more than 10...so...
