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

  Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show . This edition is filled with disappointment and frustration--for you the viewer (Nothing much to see here) and, especially, for me--the buyer. Eh... let's just get on with it and get this post over with already... SURVIVAL RUN : Well, I did it…AGAIN! I stupidly visited a certain poster auction house that has crazy high fees, bid on a bunch of stuff (some things I really wanted, something’s I already had and/or didn’t really need), lost out on everything I really wanted (Waaaagh!) and got stuck holding the bag for a crazy sum of money for basically crap. Argh! Will I EVER learn?? So, here I am, stuck with more expensive paper I really don’t have a lot of use for… This one (and the one below it) I got for $1 (plus about $30 in fees….and all of the shipping and handling expenses. EEEk!). It appears to be (but I’m not entirely sure) a post-apocalyptic thriller, perhaps. I had never heard of SURVIVAL ZONE before. Whoopie… THE ANNIHILATORS...

Happy new year and welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! It's the first day of the new year and...what? I'm B-A-C-K with a new post already? How is that possible when I'm so poor? It's called freebies from the theater. (I'm not proud. I'll gladly take them!) But let's take a look quickly. I know you are hung over and/or have games to watch today. Let's get this poster show on the road... BLACK ADAM : I am no superhero fan. I did not (and probably never will) see this flick. Why the poster then? It was a free one.  EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE (Advance) : I have no idea what this flick is about. I'd never heard of it. This was a freebie in a box of rolled posters. I could see the googly eyes showing on the end of the rolled poster, was intrigued, and snagged it.  BROS : The free poster caravan continues with this thing. Never heard of it. Whatever. It was free. STRANGE WORLD (Advance) : I bought one of these posters awhile back. I found...

  Another year down, another year of posters passes. Although my poster purchasing took a huge nosedive this year, the poster gods still smiled on me. I actually managed to eke out some decent paper this year--not spectacular, but decent. In ascending order, here are my top 10 scores for the year: 10) CRUEL JAWS : Here's a prime example of the phrase 'One man's trash is another man's treasure.' Although this is in rough-ish shape ("Good to Very Good"), I love my JAWS ripoffs. CRUEL JAWS is one of the worst (cobbled together using footage from other JAWS ripoffs, including the the one Universal sued for copyright infringement and won, GREAT WHITE aka THE LAST SHARK ). I had NEVER seen a poster for it before--or since. A search on eMovie's archives shows that this poster is the only copy they've ever sold. I am so glad I got it. Most wouldn't bother with this crap--but I love it. Thank you, eMovie! 9) DELUSION : Although I'd never seen the f...

  Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show ! The year is winding down and this is more than likely my final post for the year. (But don't think for a minute that I'll not try to forage on and start working on posts for next year. Au contrare! I actually already have a poster for that post--whenever it happens. I managed to squeeze out 7 posts this year. Last year it was 17. The year before that it was 25. My dwindling output is not due to a dwindling interest. It's simple economics (I'm dead broke.) and my health issues keep me from doing a lot of things (like real, live poster shopping instead of just the online kind.) It is what it is and I'll continue this passion of mine as long as possible.  Things being what they are, while there are a couple of goodies to be shared, most of the post is decidedly sub my usual standards. Beggars can't be choosers.  But let's take a look and see what I have for you today... LYLE, LYLE, CROCODILE : You are probably st...
