Monster A Go-Go's Shock-A-Rama Poster Show (in Blood-Curdling Freak-O-Vision!)

[Monster_A_GoGo]

Hi Rich. I like the MANSFIELD 66/67 poster the best out of all of them, too. Thanks for popping over and saying hello.

Steve! How are you? I really dig the DRILLER KILLER poster as well (It's a dumb poster, but I've been after it for years)...but I'm AMAZED that someone out there also likes my kiddie matinee SANTA poster. Ha!  Thanks and HO HO HO!

Ted, nice to see you on here. Thank you for the note. Glad you liked them (especially since it is such a modest haul).

Merry Christmas, gentlemen. Thanks for the visit.

CHEERS!

[Monster_A_GoGo]

I recently backed an IndieGoGo project. It is for a projected horror movie that will bring Carolyn Munro, Martine Beswicke, Veronica Carlson and Christopher Neame together to a pseudo-sequel to Hammer's "THE GORGON". I pledged $50, but in addition to a DVD of the finished film, that pledge also gets me a copy of the nifty poster. Zowie! Poster whore that I am, I went for it. Plus I like helping out projects like this now and again. I just thought I'd share.

CHEERS!

[brude]

Love that Graham Humphreys poster art.
 

[Monster_A_GoGo]

Hey Ted. Happy New Year! 

I dig the Graham Humphreys work, too. The fact that the film maker sought him out to make the poster in the first place (which I'm sure was not cheap) says a lot, I think. The director (Joshua Kennedy) IS crazy young (23 !?!), but has many low budget films under his belt. Some are available on DVD from Amazon, others I've seen on Youtube (I have not finished watching it yet, but there is an homage to the "Airport" films there, "Airline 79", that has been clever and competent. Sure, the acting could be better, the sets (folding chairs for airline seats?) are shoddy, and the music is all "borrowed" from old disaster movies, but this guy wrote it (lots of great in references), directed it competently, edited, starred in, etc. On  a shoestring budget---and it shows---but you can also the promise there. I really want him to get a shot with his GORGON flick with the old Hammer stars. I'm so curious as to what he'd do with it.

Thanks for looking, Ted. I hope 2018 rocks for you. CHEERS!

[Monster_A_GoGo]

Hi there. Happy New Year! I've got a new post for the new year---but instead of starting off the year with a BANG, it looks like it will be more of a WHIMPER. There's not too much to get excited about in this batch. but let's take a look...

SANTA CLAUS: THE MOVIE:

I've never seen this movie, but I probably should. I DO have it on DVD, but just never got around to it. I know it was a big budget flop-a-roo from the producers of the SUPERMAN series in the 70's/80's. That alone should make it worth a look. Hmm. But I got it for the Christmas aspect, should I ever want to do the living room in total Christmas posters one December. Whatever...

 

COMA:

"COMA" is a very serviceable little thriller from the 70s. that played for years and years and years. It always seemed to be a co-feature with something at the walk-ins and the drive ins. The image of the bodies hanging by wires is kind of cool/freaky. I'm sure I have this poster tucked away already (maybe several copies). This was a lot purchase, but I don't mind this extra copy.

 

ICE PIRATES:

I remember when this came out. Part "Star Wars", part "Indiana Jones". It did NOT hold up well during a recent re-watch, but the poster is fun. I do love the tag line: "You have to be there to see it." Ha! Another lot purchase that I probably already have several copies of.

 

MOMENT BY MOMENT:

This is also a lot purchase. Normally I wouldn't have bothered posting something like this notorious dud. However, take the quickest of glances at the poster. If you just looked quickly and then looked away, it's almost impossible to see who is who...Travolta and Tomlin look virtually the same in the poster. Ha. That makes me laugh.

 

ALIEN NATION:

Poster for the cult hit flick that inspired a brief TV series of the same name. I think I also have several copies of this--but what is one more?

 

SWORD IN THE STONE (re-release) with WINNIE THE POOH AND A DAY FOR EEYORE:

"THE SWORD IN THE STONE" was an animated Disney flop. This re-release boasts the addition of "WINNIE THE POOH AND A DAY FOR EEYORE." Nothing classic but a Disney? It might be worth something down the road...or NOT. Hmm. Bad call. Oh well.

 

THE VAN:

Yahoo!  Here is a piece o' vintage 1970's drive in sleaze... "THE VAN". Crown International was one of the rulers of the T&A drive in circuit in the 70's. How fun to have this old poster.

 

THE EVIL:

This was a pretty nifty little chiller back in the day. It's largely forgotten now. The poster could have been better, but you gotta the graphics of a crypt blowing open from the inside with a pair of hands crawling out. Ha! Someday I'll have to track this flick down and give it another watch...

 

SASQUATCH:

Ahh, the BIGFOOT sub-genre. Ha!  I saw this way back in the day on a double bill with the horror comedy "ARNOLD" (which I liked soooo much better).

CANNIBAL ATTACK:

Finally--the best for last--I scored my 2nd "JUNGLE JIM" poster, "CANNIBAL ATTACK" starring Johnny "Tarzan" Weissmuller. I have never seen a JUNGLE JIM movie, but these posters are hard to get a hold of. (And I thought snagging the old Tarzan posters was difficult...)

Okay---that's it for now. Not such a great kick off for the year. However it can only get BETTER from here.

Have a great 2018.

CHEERS!

[Monster_A_GoGo]

Hi there. This isn't a post about new acquisitions (although I do have one I am working on). This is just a general update on a few posters I've recently framed...and my sharing about an auction house's mistake that has me so bummed out.

First the mistake.

On December 3, 2017. I "won" the unrated blue-style poster for "DRILLER KILLER".  I mentioned it in my post on Dec. 23rd. Hooray! Here it is again below:

The holidays and life in general got in the way and it was only last night (January 23, 2018) that I finally got around to opening some poster packages that had arrived in the last few weeks. One of them was the "Driller Killer" poster and...  That's NOT the right poster! Oh my stars!

Here it is about 6 weeks later and...argh! I just now discover the auction house people sent me the wrong poster. The black R-Rated style was also up the same day, but I didn't want it and didn't even bother bidding on it. On my invoice it even says "Unrated", which is obviously NOT the one I got.

I sent a note to the auction house (through their "contact us" link). It's been less than 24 hours but no word yet. I'm sure whoever got mine was thrilled and will never give it back. Waaaagh! What else can I do though? I'm so bummed. Just my luck...


In other news, I finally got around to framing my "AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN" poster:

It is now hanging where it belongs, next to the sequel poster "WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST":

I also got around to framing my re-release of "ASTRO-ZOMBIES":

It is now hanging in my bedroom where I also have an original release of "ASTRO-ZOMBIES" hanging on a different wall.

That's it for now. Thanks for looking.

CHEERS!

[eatbrie]

Man, I think my wife would divorce me if I put any of these posters up on my wall.

Ever though about hanging the picture of a nice bouquet of flowers?  Or a meadow with a river in the background?

 

T

[Monster_A_GoGo]

Sorry T. Thomas Kinkade stuff makes me .

Your wife probably would divorce you if you had some of the posters on your walls that I have...which is why I live alone. Ha! Life's too short to NOT enjoy the stuff you love.

Thanks for the visit.

CHEERS!

[eatbrie]

Ha! Life's too short to NOT enjoy the stuff you love.

Best answer!!!

I like that

T

[Monster_A_GoGo]

Yes, T.... None of us are getting younger. I need to enjoy my stuff now.

Yesterday I posted about an auction I had won and how I had received the WRONG poster from the auction house. I was crushed.

So, I went to the auction house's website and sent a note through their "contact us" link. I wrote:

Hi there.

I know this is probably way too late to fix. I was just opening some packages I hadn't gotten to and one was from you. On Dec. 3, I won the unrated blue style of the DRILLER KILLER poster. As I was opening the package this evening, I noticed it was the black R-Rated style. UGH!  I don't suppose whoever got the blue one returned it, did they? ARGH! I realize mistakes happen, but UGH.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thank you.

I didn't hear anything back for more than 24 hours. However this morning, I received this response:

Hi Shawn,

I am so sorry to hear that. Let me look into it and I'll get back to you asap. I dont handle shipping.

Thanks,

About an hour after that, another response popped up:

Hi Shawn,

Scott is out at the moment but from our records it appears that the buyer has never paid for it. So I will have it pulled and shipped to you.

Sorry for the error but at least it will have a good resolution. I very much appreciate your business and support.

Many thanks,

Wowzer! I was so excited. But I sent this response:

Shall I send the black one back then? Where do I send it?

Thanks

And I heard this back:

No just keep it with my apologies.

Best,

To which I responded:

Zowie! Thank you so much! Very kind of you.

CHEERS!

It IS a happy ending all around...and I get a BONUS poster in the process. Ha! THANK YOU so much! (I'll refrain from saying which auction house it was as I do not want to give them any BAD PR for the mix up in the first place. But I am just thrilled with the outcome. Sooooo nice of them.

CHEERS!

[brude]

Good for you!  I hate to see anyone get banged up when buying a poster!!
 

[guest4955]

Yesterday I posted about an auction I had won and how I had received the WRONG poster from the auction house. I was crushed.

Dang, Shawn you are OFF your game!

"I was...."

[okiehawker]

The Weismuller Columbia Cannibal Attack is cool to see and in very nice condition it appears.  Poster artist Glenn Cravath did a lot of these Columbia designs just in case you didn't already know.

[Monster_A_GoGo]

Hi there! Jeepers! I can't believe it is February already. What happened to January?

TED, thanks for dropping in. I'm glad i got the bonus poster, too and it all worked out.

MEL. You are so right. I SCREWED up the pun possibilities. Oh well. Thanks for pointing it out. Ha! CHEERS!

Geez! Anyway, it's time for another post. Unlike the last two or three years which have been pretty awesome for me, 2018 is shaping up to be a pretty mediocre poster year. But really, right now I do not have a lot of time (or money) for the hobby. Whatever. Here are the latest acquisitions:


HAPPY DEATH DAY (Advance):

I sooooo did NOT need this. I never bothered to see the movie. But this was super cheap and an easy way to get a new poster fix. Whatever...

MAN WHO WALKED THROUGH THE WALL:

This is a god-awful ugly poster. It looks like a crappy movie. Why did I buy this? Well, some 'lurker" on here stumbled on this and sent me a message about it. He thought I might want/need it. Not that the poster was in anyway attractive (it's soooo NOT), but he thought I might appreciate two other aspects about it. Can you guess which? The first (and most obvious) is the verbiage. "WOWIE! ZOWIE!" I say that all of the time. The other thing was that it is a "Shawn International Release," (Shawn is my ---gasp!--real name).  It was only $6. Why not? Thank you, Lurker Matt!

SKY RIDERS:

The commercials on TV for this looked so cool. I wanted to see it badly back then as a kid back in 1976. This poster came up for bid and I went for it. I was the only bidder...not surprising since it is a movie no one remembers (or seems to). I still have NOT seen it...but I am pretty sure I've purchased several copies of this poster over the years. Ha!

JIGSAW:

Nothing I needed, but I dig the poster...sort of. JIGSAW? What is this, SAW 7 or so? I DID see the movie. Hmmm. It was a SAW movie. Nothing great. Not the worst sequel ever, but certainly not original either. The poster is creepy though. Cool.

THE NEBRASKAN (3D):

I love a gimmick...especially vintage 1950s 3D. I couldn't pass this one up.

SKYFALL (International):

I paid way too much for this poster, but I like it over the other two US versions I already have. Love my James Bond. Did I need this? No...but...

BEYOND THE DOOR (Italian 2F):

Some may say this poster is not that fab. Others would say the movie itself is not all that fab. "Beyond the Door" is a guilty pleasure of mine. I really dig it. Yes, it's a combo rip-off of "The Exorcist" and "Rosemary's Baby"...but it was filmed in San Francisco/Sausalito, which I know well. And there are some shots of the city before the 1989 earthquake---like the freeway that was on the Embarcadero (that is now gone). Plus it has Juliet ("Nanny and the Professor") Mills and Richard ("The Haunting"/"Zombie") Johnson. Zowie! I've been trying to steer myself away from foreign posters again---back to my US one sheets...but I have been looking for one of these for several years. Snagged! FINALLY!

PSYCHO A GOGO:

Although I have yet to see the movie, I have long wanted my "cousin" poster for the name alone.  Having the phrases "Murder to a Wild Watusi Beat" and "featuring...the Go-Go-Girls" makes it that much more fun. Go! Go! GO!!!

WEREWOLF IN A GIRLS' DORMITORY:

You gotta love the old drive-in B horrors. Whoo hoo! How fun...but does the poster (gasp!) give too much away?

THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (Re-release):

I have the one sheet for the other half of the "Phantom Monster Show" re-release double feature, "Son of Frankenstein" (which looks very much like this poster with the son laying in the place of the bride). I'd have much rather had the yellow version with BOTH films advertised...and there was one available not so long ago, but another collector asked me NOT to bid---so I didn't. (Another will come up or perhaps not. No big deal.) This one came up and I got it. It's in rougher shape than it looks here, but...  I'm still delighted with this. Any Universal horror is a great thing to obtain (even the re-release stuff). I have so very little of it.

Okay kids. That is all for today. Thank you for visiting and taking a look.



CHEERS!

[okiehawker]

Hi Monster-A-GoGo!  Cool that you included those great photos of each poster you acquired and the bonus marquee ads.  Awesome!

[erik1925]

Shawn, 2018 is all of about 6 weeks old. Why are you saying that its shaping up to be a mediocre poster year for you, this early on? 

Were we 6 months into the year, than maybe one could assess it that way. But even, that would leave a whopping 6 more months to turn that mediocrity around! 

[Monster_A_GoGo]

OakieHawker: Glad you liked the decorative extras on my posts. i didn't have time for this post, but will continue to add in the other stuff in future posts. Thanks for looking.

Jeff: My poster collecting mojo just is NOT happening in 2018 for some reason. It's become a chore almost to bother buying at all. But we'll see how the rest of 2018 shapes up. Cheers!

It's poster time again and...ho hum. Do I really have anything worth looking at? Not this time. But here are ten new ones (to me) if you want to waste some time taking a gander.



WINCHESTER (ADVANCE):

"WINCHESTER" was not a great movie. It was ho-hum horror at its best. However, i am familiar with the Winchester Mystery house, having been several times and having lived near it as a small child. I had to see the movie. I also decided to get the poster. Of the two styles, I opted for this one--which showcases the house instead of Mrs. Winchester (Helen Mirren). But really--nothing exciting here.

STAR WARS 2: ATTACK OF THE CLONES (TEASER):

I am not a STAR WARS fan, but if something Star Wars-y comes along at a decent price, I'll buy it as I know how the prices on Star Wars stuff can get. End of story, one this really.

STAR WARS 3: REVENGE OF THE SITH (TEASER):

See above--although, since these were both inexpensive, I probably made a bad call? I know fans do not like the new "first 3" movies. I saw the first one (with Jar Jar Binks)--and avoided parts 2 & 3.

THE MAN FROM HONG KONG (British Quad):

No idea what this is. It came with the poster below it in one lot.

ROLLERCOASTER (British One sheet):

I have a soft spot in my heart for this thriller. One of only 4 films ever released in the great gimmick SENSURROUND, I have the two US styles of one sheets as well as an early publicity style with different art work (which was also used on the novelization). I had not seen this style of art before. While it's not all that interesting, I still went for it. Why not?

JAWS 2 (Shark Facts):

I was in Washington the last two weeks visiting family. All I had to "shop" with was my phone. GRR! I WISH I had a larger screen to better see this image and the missing paper in the upper and lower corners. I'd have passed on this. However, I didn't see them until it was too late and after I had spent far more money on this poster than I should have. Drat! It IS a rare style and i did not have one before...but I'd have rather waited and gotten a better copy. Drat.

THE MUMMY ASSASSINS (? Mexican):

I have no idea what this is---but it looks like a silly mummy movie from south of the biorder--I'm sure it's awesomely awful-fabulous!

CHROME AND HOT LEATHER:

No idea about this movie---but I've seen the poster go pretty high some times. Why? No idea---but when the chance to get a copy came up---I went for it. Why not?

BLADE RUNNER 2049 (ADVANCE):

Just a better copy than the one I already have.

CAGED VIRGINS:

The best thing about this movie is its exploitative poster. I've seen this flick--quite a while back. NOTHING like the scene depicted ever happens. It may be a "Harry Novak" production, but it's a weird Jean Rollin film. Wonderful grindhouse sleaze....I couldn't resist.

That's it. I told you there wasn't much to see.,



Thanks for taking a look anyway.



CHEERS!

[okiehawker]

THE MAN FROM HONG KONG (British Quad):

No idea what this is. It came with the poster below it in one lot.

THE MUMMY ASSASSINS (? Mexican):

I have no idea what this is---but it looks like a silly mummy movie from south of the biorder--I'm sure it's awesomely awful-fabulous!

Hey Monster!  The Man From Hong Kong just screams Thai poster design to me, though it's in English: very interesting.  Your "The Whip" in the Mummy Assassins poster is very cool!  We have to see that movie now!  Awesome!  Okie

[Monster_A_GoGo]

Welcome back to another thrilling, chilling and totally lack-luster (snore...) edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show!  Don't get too comfortable. You won't be here too long. There's not much to see.  I'm trying to NOT buy anything major as I am saving (Ha!) for a proposed trip to Europe next spring. I also have less and less time to shop. So--this edition is strictly BARGAIN BASEMENT offerings.

But first... A big HELLO to OKIEHAWKER! Thank you for your kind words to a couple of the posters from last time. Whoever you are, I DIG you. Thanks for joining the forum. You always have nice things to say no matter how dreadful the posters in the post are. CHEERS!

Let's begin, shall we?

THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK:

Why the hell did I buy THIS!?! I am asking myself the same thing. NOT because of the title, but because of the annoying censor mark in the upper right hand corner I didn't see (I had to bid on my phone as I was in Washington visiting family at the time). GRRR! I HATE that---but it's too late now. Censor stamp aside, I bought this because--although I've never seen the flick--I played Otto Frank (Anne's father) in a high school production of this. Since then, the Anne Frank story has always resonated with me. I've even visited the Anne Frank "house" (hiding place) in Amsterdam. So, when i saw the poster going super cheap, I bid... Oops.

THE PIRATE MOVIE:

Don't I already have this...and several other copies of it as well? YES. Duh. This was part of a larger lot...  And I've never seen the flick!

VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN:

Another "never seen it" lot purchase. Whoopie...

DIVA:

Another flick I never saw. However, I do recall this movie when it was in the theaters. Something about it told me it would probably be very cool. Whether it was or not, I have no idea. Saw the poster and the memory of wanting to see it came back and I bought the poster. Is it worth tracking down?

PRIDE + PREJUDICE + ZOMBIES:

I had not read the book, but when this came out, I wanted to see it soooooo bad. What a dud and a complete flop-a-roo!  Another poster from the "lot"...

THE DEVIL AT 4 O'CLOCK:

I already have a copy (or two) of this, but saw this going cheaply and jumped on it. Frank Sinatra (who took second billing just so he could work with...) Spencer Tracy!  This is a super disaster flick in the Irwin Allen vein...BEFORE Irwin Allen was making disaster flicks or before disaster flicks were all the rage in the 70s! Fun volcano melodrama here.

GOOSEBUMPS:

I saw this--whoopie. This was just another from that same lot. And cheap.

CRIMSON PEAK:

Golly, remember before this movie came out how this poster could set you back $20-$50 bucks? Or more? And now it turns up in a cheap-o-rama lot. Ha! Oh well.

KRAMPUS:

Here is another flick I had such high hopes for. Hmm. The best thing about it is this poster.

THE CORPSE EATERS:

I already had one of these when I saw one for sale and bid on it. I've seen them in lots on emovie and I';m guessing that is where this came from. What I didn't realize at the time though, was that this copy had issues in the lower left area. Again, I was visiting family in Washington when I bid. I won and the seller approached me about upgrading to a better copy for another $25. ARGH! I debated that. Waste $26 for a crappy copy or fork over $51 for a great copy...of a poster I already have?  I spent the extra $25 because i figured eventual resale would be better with a nicer version. Oh well. Has anyone actually seen this flick? I have. It is available on DVD by some rinky dink company that apparently has the only known surviving copy of the film. It's nothing great at all and really deserves its obscurity. The best thing about it is the poster. Ha!

Okay kiddies, I told you this was a waste of your time. Go run out and play on the freeway or something fun like that. See you next time with even MORE Lame-O-Rama poster goodies you could probably do withOUT seeing.

CHEERS!

[okiehawker]

Hi Monster, Another cool post!  It's extra special and I think you know why: Kristy McNichol!  Man, she was the tomboy star that I definitely wanted to do an after school special with on the dangers of roller skating romances. Wasn't she great in the TV show Family? Great fun seeing a painted poster with Kristy in it.

Super old movie ads: The Missing Head, indeed!

Corpse Eaters!  At first, I was wondering how you could be a corpse eater if you were eating living people.  Ah, but it's really about corpses eating, eh?!  I'm not sure what's more disturbing: the hungry corpses or the blood bushes growing in the yard?
I "Dig" your post!

Okie

[guest4955]

Wow! That big one is beautiful. Linenbacked? I've bid on that same poster a few times, but never have gotten one. I like the poster (yes, even though there are no decapitated heads or eyeballs being eaten or anything like that) but (GASP!) I have never seen the movie. BRAVO though. Well done and CONGRATULATIONS!

I'm not quite as pervy as you Shawn but in Oct. 2013:



59 more....

[guest4955]

Used to think like that but I've seen the light!



I want "disreputable" posters to be beaten up a little, all-around-apropos IMO. Exhibit A, deliberately did not fix every defect:

[Monster_A_GoGo]

Hi there!  Welcome to another poster posting.

It's April 2nd, 2018! This post is to celebrate the THIRD ANNIVERSARY (April 2, 2015) of  my thread.  I don't have much for a post, but I wanted to get something up anyway for the occasion. Hooray!


But first, MEL sometimes I don't mind a poster having some wear. i think it adds character--to an extent. However, as much as i paid for the "JAWS 2" Shark Facts poster, I wanted it to be in better shape than it is. You'll also be delighted to know that this is one of the less gruesome posts. Ha!

Okay--poster time.


RAMPAGE:

I have no idea what this is. Dwayne Johnson? UGH. With the giant ape looming behind him, I had hopes it might be KING KONG or, at least, MIGHTY JOE YOUNG-ish? Based on the fact it is apparently based on a video game of some sort, I have a feeling I bought a turd poster I don't need. Oh well.

WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (re-release):

I already have a copy or two of this poster...why not another? I love this film. Soooo much better than the Johnny Depp/Tim Burton version. And...did I hear it was being remade AGAIN? UGH! This (and a few others below) was from one of Rich's auctions. Thank you, Rich!

THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG:

Can you go wrong with a Disney poster? Especially one featuring the first African-American princess in the Disney stables? Hopefully it will go up in value? I've not seen the film, but...

DIE ANOTHER DAY (Advance):

I liked this Bond outing, even though the Bronsan Bonds are kind of getting the short end of things. It was cheap.

MEN IN BLACK:

I was never a fan of this series...but I saw it and a sequel. But, it was inexpensive and the first of the series. Why not?

STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE:

Ugh! I'm not even a STAR WARS fan...but I thought I should get one for resell down the road...

STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI:

Ditto. See above.

THE CURSE OF THE AZTEC MUMMY (Mexican):

Oh my STARS! How excited I am about this one. This is my LEAST favorite film in the AZTEC MUMMY series (it's a shameless retread of the first movie, all told in flashback!). It's also my least favorite poster for the trilogy, but the posters are IMPOSSIBLE to find. I now have this one and the third/final poster, ROBOT VS THE AZTEC MUMMY (click HERE for the post where I share it. There are other great posters in there as well.) I just need the first one now. Ooooo. Yahooo!

THE SHAPE OF WATER:

Winner of Best Picture, I am thrilled to have a copy of the poster for THE SHAPE OF WATER. I really enjoyed the movie---except for that weird fantasy song and dance sequence that I didn't think belonged at all. Hopefully it becomes a classic and the price of the poster only increases with time (with my luck, that probably won't happen, but...).

And that is it for now. THANK YOU for three great years.


CHEERS!

[Monster_A_GoGo]

Hi there! It's poster time once again! So, step right up. Grab your tickets (Hey! It's free admission day! Whoo hoo! You are in luck). Yes, there are fewer than the usual 10 on display today. That's because this is my birthday post and these are the only new ones I have at the moment. So let's see what I have to share today...


EROTIC NIGHTS OF THE LIVING DEAD:
For the first (?) time, a zombie porn movie...sort of.  Yes, there is hardcore in the film, but not all that much. However, this is such an anomaly ---a film that seems to have not been distributed very well---so paper on it is very hard to find. So...while I'm not a fan of Italian locandias per se (I do have a few), I was glad to get this (even though it is utterly snore-boring!). It's not a great zombie film by any means (or even a good one...or even a good adult film, for that matter). For zombie completest geeks (like myself) only.

SHOCK WAVES:
I've already said I'm not really a fan of Italian locandias, but I did like the image on this one (very different than the US one sheet). I wasn't going to be around for this auction and I bid (too high) on this early and it became mine. Oops!

SANTA SANGRE:
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I have long had a copy of the video release poster (completely different art on that), but the theatrical poster...It's not my favorite so I didn't want to spend a bunch on it. I picked this one up surprisingly cheap. It does have issues in the white border corners (Not shown here), but for $15 or whatever, I can deal with that and it can hide behind the frame (if I ever get it framed, that is).

JAWS:

Yes, I already have a JAWS poster. I got it as a birthday gift for myself 3 years ago. Where it is, I have NO IDEA. Did I ever receive it? ARGH! I can NOT find it anywhere and I want it up on my walls. So, I got this one instead. (ANOTHER "birthday gift," I suppose you could say...) It's from the recent HA auction and I paid more than I wanted to for it (Isn't that always the case?), but I do believe it is in much better condition than my other one.

THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN:
There were several posters in the recent HA auction that I had set my sights on. As it got closer to auction time and the prices started getting more and more inflated (EEK!), I focused on this one as the poster I WOULD GET! A Reynold Brown classic! Zowie! What a great addition to my collection. LOVE IT! I am soooo THRILLED to have it. WHOO HOO!

And that is it for this time. See you next time. THANK YOU for stopping by and celebrating my birthday post with me.  CHEERS!

Hi Monster!  Erotic zombies gives eating your brain a very different possibility, eh!? Thanks for including the cool color picture of Pacific's Cinerama.  The Italian Shock Waves looks to have some well done painted art. Can you read the artist's name?   Hmm, I've not heard of Santa Sangre before (Flamenco horror?).  Wow, The Incredible Shrinking Man looks to be in amazing condition!. I've always liked Richard Matheson. He was a great talent who was able to write screenplays from his own stories and also seemed approachable by fans as he was a fan himself.  Thanks for sharing!  Okie.
