The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2020 #18

Hi there. Welcome to yet another Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! There's nothing too exciting to see here...but what the heck? I'll just throw this out there. There's not a lot going on now during the summer of the virus. I don't know about you, but I've been keeping my distance (with the exception of going to the grocery store, doctor's appointments, and occasionally visiting the drive in -- alone [sigh...] -- at a town not too far from here). Dull. Dull. Dull. And, I don't have any money, really...and it looks as if I may be moving later this year or early next year. My poster buying will have to peter out until after the move. Joy... So, blah, blah, blah, let's get going on the posters. Okay? WEB OF FEAR: Of the 10 in this post, this is the only one that is from a lot I recently purchased. (Hint. Hint... Get ready for ONE post of lot posters---very soon.) This poster is interesting, but not that interesting. I think the color and the spiderweb ...

Surprise! I am back---with a new selection of posters...and they are NOT (gasp!) from a "lot" purchase this time. Ha! I threw together this post quickly based on one poster (you'll figure out which one as you go down). I needed to redeem myself after the travesty that was my last few posts. There is nothing overly fabulous, but I hope you'll see something you like along the way. Let's take a look. Shall we? THE DAY OF THE LOCUST: When this movie came out in the mid-70s, I thought it might be a horror movie. THE DAY OF THE LOCUST, to me, sounded like one. I mean, there was THE DEADLY MANTIS, TARANTULA and BLACK SCORPION, why couldn't DAY OF THE LOCUST be about a giant locust? It isn't. I love the faux 1930's style of this David Edward Byrd poster (even though it was done in the 1970s).  It's not really my thing, though---but I have a story behind this poster and what it means to me. (And be warned--it's quite long and gruesome....

Oh my... You came back. Uh....  Well... NEXT time, I promise to have some new posters worthy of a visit. This time, by special request, I'm...continuing with the crap "lot" posters I got recently. I know...I know... I promised we were done with them. I had NO INTENTION of posting more. However... In addition to my blog, I place my new poster postings in a variety of places. One of those places is the Classic Horror Film Board . The forum has a movie poster page (of course). It was there that I had this request: "MAGG, don't worry about posting what you think are garbage posters.  One man's trash is another's treasure.  Post away and let us be the judges." Sooooooo.... Here are 10 more "lot" posters--some of the worst (in my opinion) of the batch (and I still had PLENTY to choose from). Take a look or run screaming now. The choice is yours. You are still here. Why? Did someone dare you? There's NO REASON to stick around. H...
