The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #4

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...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #3

  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...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 Special Edition: Top 10 Poster Purchases of 2023

  Welcome back! It's getting to be that time o' the year again. A new year is right around the corner and it's time us to reflect on all of the goodness that came our way during the year. Despite the fact that much of what is shown here is on linen (Groan...), the year still ended up being much better for me than it had any right to be.  So, let's quite the dilly-dallying and go take a gander. Shall we?  Here are the top 10 faves o' mine that I added in 2023: Runner up)  THE MAZE  (3-D on linen) : While not the most exciting of posters (Yes, it’s kind of dull.), it’s a vintage 3-D move poster from the first wave in the 1950s. Yahoo! Despite being on linen, it’s still a great find. This actually WAS included in my Top 10 for the year until another poster came along at the last minute that I like better. Instead of cutting it out, I just gave it the title of “runner up”.  I’m still thrilled to have it. 10) DEEP RED:  This should probably be further down ...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2023 #4

Welcome back! (So soon?) It's time for another edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! There are 11 (instead of the usual 10) posters in this post. Why? Well, the bulk of this post came from a bulk lot. NO--I am NOT sharing every single poster in the lot. Some I had already. Others I have zero interest in. Most I am choosing to post have some sort of minor (VERY minor) interest to me. Since I am posting 9 posters (out of the 22 in the lot) and 2 others to share---it just seemed pointless to hold back on one. Blah...blah...blah. Here we go: VALLEY OF THE DOLLS: I already have a copy of this poster, but it was one of the TWO posters I was after with this lot. VALLEY OF THE DOLLS is one of my favorite all-time movies---because it is so BAD! I love it! The copy I scored years ago isn't in the best condition (and cost nearly as much as this whole batch lot did). This one seemed to be an upgrade (hopefully)--and is the ONLY poster I've shared in the past on this post. I guess t...
