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.

In the meantime, here is a short yet sweet look at my new acquisitions. O' the joy: THE LAST REMAKE OF BEAU GESTE: My first purchase--on New Year's Day--of the year...and it's a dud I didn't need. I already have one of these. Why I bid on it (on some obscure online auction), I have no idea. I bid on about a dozen other things as well, all of which I was outbid on (of course!). 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...
