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

Hello, and welcome back. While this edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is less than exciting, it’s still all new… at least to me. Because it’s less than exciting, it should be an easy-breezy, quick-o read. There’s not much to see here. I’m not kidding. So let’s get this over with, shall we? Here we go… DUNE PART TWO (Advance): This poster and the three below it, were sent to me by friends. My friend Gillian’s husband Jason works for UPS. Now and again he gets shipments of movie posters from studios that are sent to a defunct movie theater. The instructions on the box apparently say to destroy contents if the addressee is undeliverable. But when Jason gets them, he saves some for me. This is the latest surprise batch I got earlier this week.They’re not great… Certainly not anything I would have purchased myself… But they were free and it was nice of them to send them to me.  I never saw the  new DUNE movie or the sequel. I know they were huge hits. This poster does nothing...

  Welcome back!!! Ugh... It's so hard for me to do anything any more. I thought posters would take me out of myself--if only for a few minutes.They are usually a great distraction. But not now. I have too many aches and pains from my surgery. The severe neuropathey that has developed in my hands and fingers makes handlimg them difficult. Writing out commentary on these pages is painful and I make so many mistakes. But I still managed to get 10 to share with you. It's a mixture of trash and treasures. I hopr there is something here you'll enjoy... THE FOREST: This movie is garbage. I’ll say that up front. But somehow this 80’ fright flick’s poster works. (The poster is better than the film.) I already have one  but…  I AM DIVINE: Several years ago (2012), I “backed” (via Kickstarter or one of those sites) this documentary about Harris Glenn Milstead, aka Divine. John Waters has always been one of my favorite filmmakers. Divine starred in just about all of his movies throug...

  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...
