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 2022 #1 with BONUS Update:

  Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show...and happy new year! I have a few new purchases to share--but only a few. You see, I've been busy. Since moving in early November, I've been living in a house with bare walls. O' the HORROR of it all. That will never do. So, I've been busy framing. But we'll get to that momentarily. 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...
