The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #19

Hi there. Welcome back. This post has slightly more than my usual 10. There are a lot of freebies on here. Instead of holding some back I just thought I’d throw up everything I have left. After this post, I have no more backlog of newly purchased posters to share. I am so broke and so in debt (medical bills) , I can’t afford anything anymore. While I am working on other posts about posters and poster projects… those are not about new releases and I’ll get to them eventually. I just wanted to get this one up since it was more or less ready. I’ve had to go back on a new chemotherapy regime. After chemo all last fall and winter and then my huge surgery in January, and then being on immunotherapy for seven months., it was discovered the immunotherapy was not working. My cancer has spread. So I am on a new type of chemotherapy. This one will last for six months at least. I have to go every week for three weeks, and then get the fourth week off. And then I repeat. There will be a total of ...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #18

  Welcome back!!! I know my last post was decidedly boring.This one isn’t much better. Oh sure, there are a couple of interesting bits here and there. But, by and large,  there really isn’t much to see here either. But let’s not dawdle. Let’s get this show on the road.… WARLOCK: The late Julian Sands starred in this so-so horror film. There was a sequel as well, but I believe it went straight to video. This was part of a lot. I got in an auction. No big deal. THE KARATE KID 2 : Normally, I would avoid posters for sequels. The. KARATE KID series does nothing for me. I know I saw the original back in the day in the theater. I think I even saw the sequel in the theater. But, I never jumped on the. KARATE KID bandwagon. It just didn’t work for me. But I had a chance to get this one and it’s rolled, not folded… I got it because of… (scroll down) THE KARATE KID: I got this poster as an investment. I’ve already said I wasn’t a fan of the series. But after three sequels (?) And TV s...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #7

  Welcome back…#*$@!!!  What am I doing back here so soon? I don’t know… I don’t know what is wrong with me. I am so beyond broke. Two longtime friends just died with in a few days of each other of cancer—one of them a year younger than me with basically the same cancer I have/had. I am still undergoing treatments  for my cancer and as I write this, I just don’t feel right. And yet here I am with another batch of new (to me ) posters. What am I doing? I have NO IDEA… Grr! I know you probably hit the snack bar to have something fun to do while you sit through one of my dreary Shock-O-Rama poster shows. This will be quick because the titles just aren’t that exciting. Your snack bar treats won’t even be cold by the time we get through. Promise! Anyway, let’s get this over with… CAT VIDEO FEST 2024: Yes, this is apparently a real poster from a real theatrical event. Why would I buy this? I’ll never hang it. I don’t know. I just don’t know. I don’t even have a cat. I’m more of...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2025 #6

  Welcome back… Oh lordy, did I get myself in a pickle. Oops! Oh crap. And you’d think I would have LEARNED MY LESSON after all of this time. Eeek! There was a recent auction that had lots and lots of things I would love to have, including about a half dozen bucket list titles. Well, I went through and bid on a lot of them during the pre-auction bidding, never expecting to get any of them. Oops. I got several (and as I write this opening bit, the auction is still going—with my bids still on many items!) Yikes! We will see what happens when the dust clears, but UGH! I screwed myself silly. Let’s take a look at the damage… oh my!  (But these first four titles are NOT part of the auction fiasco.) ED WOOD ( Retrospective ): Golly, I do NOT even remember buying this. I noticed it in my eBay purchases. What??? Hmm. Yes, it is a thing I would buy, …but I really was surprised to see I had purchased it. And yikes! It’s a HUGE French g-r-a-n-d-e (Sorry T) poster. Geez! Imago having a gi...
