The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025: Special Edition #2: The Best of 2025

Another year has come to a close… And what do I have to show for it? Posters, posters, posters! Despite my continued battle with cancer and second round of chemo, lasting six months… It has been an amazingly bumper crop for posters this year. Zowie! In fact, instead of 10, I’m gonna share 20 of my favorite purchases of 2025. So sit back and let the poster goodness wash over you. Here we go: DEMONOID : As bad as this awful movie is, you can’t deny that the poster is awesome It is certainly better than the movie itself. It actually has little to do with the movie. Ha ha ha. I was glad to pick this up even though I could’ve bought it years ago at a much cheaper price. I didn’t appreciate the actual artwork because I hated hated hated the movie so much. I’m super glad to have this now and it will be going up on a wall eventually ORGY OF THE DEAD: Zowie! I never ever ever thought I would have one of these. Ed Wood titles are so hard to come by. Yes, this has condition problems Yes, it has ...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #5

  Hello. Welcome back. As I told you last time, I had enough posters for another quick post. I bought a lot of, mostly, crap between this post and the previous one. For the most part, they were cheapish. Although most of them, I realize, I will never hang and will probably end up getting rid of. There’s nothing all that fabulous here. The first two especially are pretty lame. Take a look or don’t. Like the last batch, I am less than proud of this post, so let’s quickly run through and get it done.., BEYOND DARKNESS (video) :   This cheap-o video poster is not much. Known in its home country, Italy, as La Casa 5, it’s better known around the world as BEYOND DARKNESS. The flick tells the story of a priest and his family who move into a house where, unbeknownst to them,  20 witches were burned to death. AMITYVILLE HORROR-type phenomena appears.For years I got this flick confused with SUPERSTITION, which is also an over-the-top haunted house flick about a family being terror...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #1

  Happy 2025!! As I write this, we are four days into the new year. I have not finished collecting whatever ten posters I’ll end up sharing with you yet, but I have a good start. I wanted to begin ASAP just in case I can acquire more posters and get this up before my surgery on January 22nd. It’s a BIG surgery (removing a third of my esophagus, all of my stomach, and re-routing my small intestine to the remaining portion of my esophagus). I might not survive it.  But, welcome to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show anyway! I hope you enjoy it.  MOANA 2: This was a free one. It has some dings...but was still free. Never saw the movie or the original. The poster shown below is NOT my copy.  RED ONE (Adv?) : I never saw this recent release either. I stumbled on this (inexpensive) poster and was fooled at first. I didn't realize it picture of a poster...and the trompe l'oeil aspect of it appealed to me. So, I got it.  (And did I mention it was inexpensive?) DEATHROW GAMESHO...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: Special Edition #2: The Best of 2024

Well, 2024 is coming to a close. It's time once again to go through the year's purchases and touch on the favorites I picked up through the year. This was a light year for purchases for me--and next year I expect will be even more sparse, if there are any at all. But I was able to eek out 10 (actually 11) faves for 2024 and here they are: (Honorable Mention) HOUSE OF THE DEAD: I don't have much this year to warrant an "honorable mention". I would probably have used this poster in the #10 spot...except the one there I had been after for sooooo long (despite the movie turning out to be snore-inducing when I finally saw it). This poster I had never seen before--not am I familair with the movie. it probably sucks, but I liked the artwork on the poster---so that is why I chose to include it--honorable mention or not. 10):   THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS  and  OKEFENOKEE  (combo) : I have been after this poster for decades--long before I ever saw the yawn-inducing film...
