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

  And welcome back… With this post, I am hopefully wrapping up all the posters I purchased in my recent mania. ( Actually, as I write this, there are still a few auctions out there. I have bids on that haven’t closed. While I doubt I’ll get anything, there’s always the worry that I will and that those purchases will spill over into another post. Eek!) As per my (sometimes) usual, I’ve got a lot of trash and a few treasures. I also have a very bad headache. So let’s get on with it already… VAN HELSING : This must’ve been a lot purchase. Although it’s based on a character. DRACULA , I had absolutely zero interest in seeing this movie. Zero. TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD (French) : I have long been a fan of the BLIND DEAD films . To my knowledge, only three of the four were released in the US and have one sheets. The first one, TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD , was released as just THE BLIND DEAD with a misleading poster image making it seem like a knockoff of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD .   RETUR...

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...

  Hello. Welcome back. Today's offerings are...rather unexciting for the most part. As I've said many times before, my poster-buying power has been greatly diminished. I fear my post-buying days are wrapping up, too. The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show may be finally coming to a close in the near future. For now though, here's the latest of what I have to share with you today: KING FRAT: This was a fairly cheap poster--but supposedly rather rare? But really, it's not much to look at. I bought it because... I remember when this obscurity came out. Although I never saw it, it appeared to be some low-rent ANIMAL HOUSE wannabe. I was always curious... I bought it on disk (with THE CHEERING SECTION) on a clearance sale for old CODE RED products. (I guess that company went out of business?) I haven't watched it yet as I read the disk was taken directly from two very badly worn VHS sources. Oh well. I'll get to it someday. Maybe. The poster will go in a drawer. Whoopie... STA...
