Hi there! Despite the carnival-like title, my collection isn't all that groovy. In fact, despite having thousands of posters--all in storage of one kind or another at the moment until I move back into my house (which will be another year at least--unless I decide to move to the Bay Area or Washington state, but that's another story...), I have NOTHING on my walls where I'm living at the current time (EEK! NAKED walls! SHOCKING!!). That doesn't stop me from buying, buying, BUYING...and I've got tubes and boxes filled of posters that have yet to see the light of day since coming in to my possession.
So what I am posting is a sampling of my latest 10 purchases from the last week or so. The only way I can show you any of my other stuff is to show you my low-res video from 2008 I made of most of my framed movie posters at the time ( Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDCf3DYtxOU&feature=youtu.be ) or the movie poster thread I started on another site that shows my purchases since the beginning of 2015 (Here: http://forums.fanbolt.com/topic/61/movie-poster-collectors-thread/ )
But for my first official post here (which I also posted on that other site), I thought I'd share these very humble posters:
"SHRIEK OF THE MUTILATED"!!!! I think I already have a copy of this poster, but a back up is always nice. I mean, who wouldn't want another poster with a rampaging albino bigfoot running up the stairs? Zowie! Such a cheesy-fabulous poster for a cheesy-fabulous movie! WATCH OUT!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Shriek%20of%20the%20mutilated_zps2rtaow3w.jpg)
Next, one of my favorite films of the early 80s, "Tess". I soooo wanted this to win Best Picture the year it was nominated. I forgot what it lost to, but as I recall, it was just some lame Hollywood product movie. Directed by Roman Polanski, starring Nastassia Kinski and based on a Thomas Hardy novel, this was just a brilliant and beautiful film (and there was not a single zombie in sight! Wow!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/tess_ver1_xlg_zpsvbcwz2bl.jpg)
It's always cool to score a Boris Karloff poster, especially since I'll NEVER get any of the "Frankenstein" stuff from ANY of the releases (sigh...). I am pretty sure I already have a "Mondo Balordo" poster already--but with everything still packed away for another year, I can NOT be sure. Love those old "Mondo" flicks though...strange and weird and silly stuff (especially the obviously FAKED ones! Ha!).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Mondo%20Balordo_zpsgjjikosx.jpg)
Jeepers! Next up is the exploitation flick that could never be made today (wouldn't be PC at all!)...direct from the sleazy 70s it's "MANDINGO"!!! Again, I think I have a copy or two of this poster already. This poster is obviously trying to riff on "Gone With the Wind". Dino De Laurentis unleashed a lot of wonderful trash on the world! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/mandingo_zps4u890xid.jpg)
"My Beautiful Laundrette"...NOT the most beautiful poster in the world, but... You ever go to buy something and look around to see what else the seller has, see a couple of "well, maybe...why not?" items and bid on all of them (the one item you really want and the other stuff you figure you'd pad out the shipping costs with, especially when those items close about the same time)...and you LOSE the ONE thing you really wanted and get stuck with the extraneous stuff? This purchase is one of those instances. Oh well, the movie holds a weird sort of memory for me... So...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/My%20Beautiful%20Laundrette_zps3rzljih9.jpg)
"MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD MONSTER LATE SHOW"---yes,if you saw this up for auction recently,I was the fool (???) who bought it. I apologize for the "emovieposter" watermark, but I could find no other picture of this poster online and it has not arrived yet. There was something about it--the sleazy, slapped together (from other movie art. The screaming woman from the 1981 "Nightmare" poster is fairly obvious) art work, the DARE YOU SEE IT horror verbiage and the fact they don't bother to mention which chillers the audience would be seeing (so ANYTHING could be shown---and the poster could be used again and again and again, perhaps?). It's the closest thing to one of those old late night horror program posters from the 50s and 60s I'll ever be able to afford, so I got it. Kind of cool, but kind of dull as well. (Could use a bit of color and pizzazz,perhaps...). Still very fun in its own way.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/mad_monster_late_show_SD01339_C_zpsqwwgrhoj.jpg)
"THE HOUSE THAT SCREAMED"--I saw this not too long ago. It was an late 60s/early 70s Euro thing and it was well made, nice location/sets and atmosphere...but kind of plodding. The twist ending totally reminded me of another 80s Euro slasher that I now realize totally ripped off the ending of HOUSE THAT SCREAMED. Anyway, it was cheap and...why not?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/house%20screamed_zpsguxvikv8.jpg)
"PSYCHO BEACH PARTY"---Being a life long fan of the Frankie and Annette "Beach Party" films, I saw the play version of this years ago. The play--at least the version I saw--was hilarious. The movie...eh, not so much. I don't know what was lost in translation, but it almost seemed like a different story than the play I remembered. Oh well,it was set in the Beach Party era and the poster has some fun graphics and the title is groovy... Again,why not?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Psycho%20Beach%20Party_zpsnk7bfot9.jpg)
Another poster I am almost sure I already have, EMBRYO is a 70s sci-fi stinker starring Rock Hudson and a young Barbara Carrera (who? Look her up...). The movie is BORING (I thought so anyway), but the poster is kind of cool. And cheap.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/embryo-movie-poster-1976-1020232761_zpswknhu8tv.jpg)
My 10th and final poster for now is my goody goody gum drops poster de jour... "DINOSAURUS!" (Yes, the "!" IS part of the title! Ha!). From Jack H. Harris (the man who unleashed "THE BLOB" on the world) comes this crazy story of two dinosaurs and a caveman found intact but frozen. They are thawed out and silly sci fi fun ensues. How exciting to get this poster! "Alive with thrills that started a million years ago." Yippie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Dinosaurus_zpsrumjmmgs.jpg)
I have a bunch of pictures on photobucket of other posters I have. They were originally on the poster thread of that other site, but when the site revamped itself,it killed all of the old pages. Those postings may be lost, but I might slowly start adding them on here. They are nothing fancy, but they are mine.
Thanks for looking. See ya next time. CHEERS!

I need to get to bed---UGH! I have to be up in 5 hours! Yikes!---but I was so not impressed by my recent purchases that I had posted, so I decided to look into my photobucket listings from the old/deleted movie poster discussion chain I had posted on that other site and post my favorite 10 purchases from last year.
In no particular order...
"REVOLT OF THE ZOMBIES" re-release. I love, love, LOVE this poster! Yes, it is only a re-release poster (completely different art than the original release) and yes, the movie is crap-a-rama boring. But it still speaks to me. Oooo wow! I am still thrilled all of these months later that I got it. :-) I can't even explain why.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/RevoltoftheZombies_zps384b422d.jpg)
I'm a big "Tarzan" fan. I have all of the "Tarzan" posters up into the Gordon Scott era (the later titles), but anything earlier has always eluded me. Last year I scored a Lex Barker (talking Tarzan #2, after Weissmuller) title, "Tarzan's Peril". It may not be in the best shape, but it's colorful and a Lex Barker era--my first! I certainly never thought I get one that far back. Zowie! (Everybody give a Tarzan yell: Ah-AH-ahhh!!!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/TarzansPeril_zps964a7ae6.jpg)
"Astro Zombies"!!! This is the re-release poster for Ted V. Mikels schlock-o-rama sci-fi flick. Both the original poster and re-release have cool artwork, but this is the one came my way. WOW! Love it!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/AstroZombies_zps936bb497.jpg)
I had never heard of "I've Lived Before" until I came across the poster at auction. What cool artwork. I needed it. I bid...and lost. Another came up--same story. On and on and on until...MINE! Whoo hoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/ive-lived-before-movie-poster-9999-1020482769_zps082d3b0c.jpg)
"BLACULA"!!! Jinkies! I was so surprised to land this one. I have owned the sequel poster, "Scream Blacula Scream: for a while, but the original? Always out of reach... I am trying to gather all of the blaxploitation horror film posters of the 70s. I had "Scream Blacula Scream", "Abbey" (the "Black Exorcist"), and "Sugar Hill" (voodoo zombies!), but was missing a few key pieces. "Blacula" was one of them, and certainly the most well known. And, tuh-duh! Last year, it became MINE!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Blacula_zpsf9afb1d4.jpg)
Not long after scoring "Blacula", I lucked out with another of the elusive blaxploitation horror posters---"Dr. Black / Mr. Hyde"! Yippie yippie yaHOO!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/DrBlackandMrHyde_zps424e2705.jpg)
I've never seen "PRISON GIRLS", but I am a sucker for gimmicks advertised on posters. Vintage 3D poster? I'm there! This one was unusual because nothing was seemingly being thrust out to the viewer. Instead there's this weird perspective that you are surrounded by the prison gals looking down at you. Very unusual and cool in my book.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/PrisonGirls_zps528bef72.jpg)
"BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE"--beautiful old horror poster. WOW! This is not a picture of the poster I won. I don't know why I didn't save a photo from the auction or take one when it arrived. Mine is a little rough, but not too shabby. I am delighted with it. I totally dig it. Can't wait to hang it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/blood-of-the-vampire-movie-poster-1958-1020143982_zps358f250f.jpg)
"NARCOTIC STORY"looks so wonderfully campy. I can't wait to hang it up.Of course, the big syringe on the movie poster reminds me that I am a movie poster addict. Is there a 10 step program for people like us? Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/MarcoticStory_zps7b73fe31.jpg)
And that brings me to No. 10....(which I'm debating about. Ha! Is it this one, this one or this one? Hmm...). I guess I'll go with "Lady Frankenstein"! Only the monster she made could satisfy her strange desires... Ha! Gotta love the monster art and the laboratory. Crappy movie more or less, but fun and colorful poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/LadyFrankenstein_zps64066e74.jpg)
Okay--those are my 10 faves I got last year. I'll addmore to this as I either get more or dig through my photobucket archives. Thanks for looking. I know they're not as lovely and cool as some of yours, but I'm kind of digging them in a far out way. Yabba dabba doo!
CHEERS!
-
Great effort MAGG! Many desirable posters there for sure. I wish I had a Prison Girls in 3D, many years have gone by and still without one. Nice to read you commentary on each of them. Well done!
-
I concur. Some really fun stuff there. I need to start making a list.

UGH...good morning. Why am I awake? Oh yeah, I gotta go to work... Waaagh.
Hi Steve and T. Thanks for stopping by. I'd offer you some coffee but I haven't got any made yet---and I'm already running late. Help yourselves to a Pop Tart,maybe? I've got to get in the shower, but I appreciate your input.
Scrub-a-dub-dub and cheers to you.
Have a go-go groovy day.
-
Very nice to read your commentary. I can fully appreciate why you like those so much..and why they make you happy...looooove Dinosaurs :)

Very nice to read your commentary.

MAGG, you would be a great docent on tours of your excellent framed gallery. cool1

Hello Rosa and Neo. Thanks for stopping by. Sorry I missed you. I just got home from work. Ugh! I'll be in bed in an hour or so, so I can get up tomorrow at 5 a.m. and do it all again. Joy...
I am glad you like the commentary about the posters. I've always done that. Doesn't everyone else? Hmm. Now that I think about it they usually seem to comment on their posters after someone else remarks on them.
Anyway, thanks for visiting.
Cheers!!

Hi there? What's new with you? What's new with me? POSTERS!!! With the clock ticking down to my 50th (!!!???!!!) birthday and my promise to STOP buying posters (with the exception of a bucket-list of "must haves") once I hit the big 5-0, I've been on a shopping frenzy. Here are some of my newest acquisitions:
Oh my stars! Was I ever thrilled to snap this little gem up. It's the nazisploitation flick "SS GIRLS"! While not the best example of the nazisploitation films of the late 60s and 70s (not by a long shot), what a cool grindhouse-groovy poster! At one time I had the poster for "SS LOVE CAMP". I hated the art so I sold it for peanuts...not realizing what I had and when i come across one now, they're big bucks! This little beauty just seemed to fall into my lap,is in super snazzy condition and was so incredibly reasonably priced, i couldn't say no. Yippie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/SS%20Girls_zpseetxipok.jpg)
Next up,more grindhouse sleaze with "The Reluctant Sadist". I've not seen this (well reviewed?!?! Huh!?!) little film, but I've seen it advertised from Something Weird Video, so it might be right up my alley. I'll check it out sometime. In the mean time,it was cheap and there--so...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/reluctant%20sadist_zpswfyop2td.jpg)
"Scream, Baby, Scream" is a eurohorror from the late 60s or early 70s. I just caught it a few weeks ago on DVD and it's not a bad little chiller (although it's dated and the scares are just not there...). I dig the far out psychedelic poster design.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/KGrHqRHJEUFBgLECLkJBQhC0jg60_57_zpsnykkv9mj.jpg)
Some of my lesser purchases include "Full Moon High"
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/full%20moon%20high%20style%20b_zpsd4uroa4p.jpg)
and the notoriously awful "At Long Last Love" (Burt Reynolds singing and dancing? Ouch--just the thought of it is painful)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/at_long_last_love_zpsincytkkb.jpg)
I don't know what I was thinking buying those at all...but they were only about $2 each...
The double bill combo poster for "The Possession of Virginia" and "The Exorcism of Hugh" I already had---but I am a sucker for "Exorcist" wannabes. I've actually seen "The Exorcism of Hugh" (aka "Neither the Sea Nor the Sand" or something like that). It has nothing to do with exorcism or possession and it's painfully slow. I'm guessing the ultra obscure "Possession of Virginia" is equally awful. Oh well,the double feature makes them sound possess-o-cool!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Possession%20of%20Virginia%20Exorcismof%20Hugh_zpskk1ojvp5.jpg)
Not that it has anything to do with possession, I also picked up this Turkish poster for "The Devil's Nightmare". The movie is a guilty pleasure fave of mine. A group of stranded tourists are picked off one by one by an evil succubus. I won't say who the succubus is (they do try for a bit of mystery about it initially), but it becomes fairly obvious early on and the outfit she wears when she is still presumed to be a wholesome young woman is laugh out loud funny (in the Fredrick's of Hollywood sleaze-o-rama kind of way).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/devils-nightmare-Turkish%20420x590_zps94z9xnll.jpg)
I have a penchant for the old kiddie matinee posters from the 60s and early 70s. K. Gordon Murray and Barry Mahon were two of the big players in the kiddie matinee arena. I always preferred the posters for the ones distributed by Childhood Productions though. They were more vibrant and always declared they were filmed in Storybook Color. They were basically imported movies that were dubbed and thrown out there for kids to suffer through while their parents went out shopping or whatever. I remember seeing a few of these films at kiddie matinees. "The Tinder Box" was not one of them though. I have several Childhood Productions posters, and now I have one more. Hooray!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Tinder%20Box_zpszbx7zreb.jpg)
As I said earlier, my birthday is coming up. I purchased myself two extra special presents. One of them is the elusive (and expensive) Herschel Gordon Lewis "BLOOD FEAST", which is widely considered the very first gore movie--long before films like "Dawn of the Dead" or "Friday the 13th" were on the scene. This was a holy grail for me--and I finally got one. Yahoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/bloodfeast-3346_zpsy44hnppv.jpeg)
The other present to myself was also a holy grail of sorts...the original "BEACH PARTY" poster, the first Frankie & Annette flick that started it all. And now my collection is complete! "Beach Party" is the best film of the lot anyway! It's what happens when 10,000 kids meet on 5,000 beach blankets! Kowabunga! It's finally mine! Happy birthday to me!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Beach%20Party_zpstq9i6lob.jpg)
CHEERS!

Your commentaries are the best, man. Keep 'em coming. You should really start a blog (or maybe you have one already, can't remember.) It'd be the best one out there. What you say makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable.
clap clap clap

Hi T. Thanks for the kind words (and officially know that I am uber jealous of your original "PSYCHO" poster! WOW!!!).
I need to get to bed, but I thought I'd throw up (NOT as in vomit, but as in share) some more poster photos (just 10) from my photobucket account from when I was posting on that other site (before it deleted everything). I'll do this now and then until I "catch up". Of course, then I'll eventually have to go through all of my stuff in boxes etc from before I started posting on that defunct page---and there are thousands of posters to go through... Someday...
Blah blah blah.
Anyway, this first pic is of me, Monster A GoGo, holding my framed original "Monster A GoGo"! This was right after I got it. I was thrilled. My name came from the movie, but not because I liked the movie (it's god-awful). It's a long story and we don't need to go there. But I love having the poster. Yahoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/GOGO.jpg)
"Visiting Hours"...crappy horror flick, clever-ish poster. Nothing to write home about, it was just at the end of my photobucket account. I did see this in the theaters though back in 1983 or so. I think it was a double feature with "Friday the 13th Part 3" (in 3D)! (I have one of those posters too--framed--in my creaky old video).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/visiting_hours.jpg)
"Fly Me To The Moon". Yep. Have that. Whoopie... As I said before,I'm a sucker for gimmicks. 3D's comeback was still fairly new then... that's my only defense. Ha! (I guess I could just NOT post this and no one would know how lame of a poster I have. Hee hee!):
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/fly_me_to_the_moon_zpsfd6d0235.jpg)
Speaking of 3D,here's a vintage 3D poster, "Wings of the Hawk". The old 3D posters were awesome. They really tried to sell the whole coming off the screen gimmick. The new 3D is very clean but doesn't fly out at you the way the old 3D did. Oh well...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/wings.jpg)
And yet another vintage 3D poster, "Fort Ti"! Zowie! Look out!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/FortTi.jpg)
Zowie! It's Hercules (Steve Reeves) vs Tarzan (Gordon Scott) in "Duel of the Titans"! Okay, so they were not playing Herc and Tarzan in this--but it was still a great team up for a 60s peplum flick. I dig those old cheesy sword and sandal epics. ("Hey Johnny,you ever see any movies with gladiators in them?) This was a pretty great find:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/duel.jpg)
The very first movie poster I ever bought was for "Logan's Run". I loved this film as a kid. I think I mentioned that when I saw it in one of my town's fading movie palaces (now gone dark), the projectionist invited me up to the projection booth and I watched a good portion of it up there. That was a magical experience. Anyway, that first poster got ruined (my fault), so I got a replacement copy that I had framed and on my walls before going back to school and moving in here. This is a back up copy:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/LogansRun.jpg)
"The Omen"--this was a great flick and one of the first R-rated movies I got into when I was still too young to go without an adult. (I saw this on a rerelease with "Damien Omen 2"--before the third one, so it must have been in 1980. I would have been 15 then). What an awesome flick--the remake was a waste of time.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/TheOmen.jpg)
"20th Century Oz"? Never seen it (although I did buy a bootleg DVD--just haven't got around to it yet), but I dig all things "OZ" so figured I'd get this as well. It was inexpensive...why not?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20thcenturyOZ.jpg)
Finally, everyone knows Universal released the pilot to the original "Battlestar Galactica" in theaters after the premiere to recoup some of the show's expenses (even presenting it in SENSURROUND, which I believe was the final time that gimmick was used... waaagh!). This one sheet is Australian (??) for the 2nd feature (NOT released here in the states) culled from the first few episodes of the series and released theatrically. Golly, Universal sure had balls trying to get people to pay for what they'd already seen for free on TV. Ha! Anyway, I'm no sci fi nut, but I thought this was a bit on the rare side and future sci fi fans might be willing to part with some cash for it. Nothing too grand, but more than the few bucks I paid for it hopefully. It's kind of fun on its own anyway.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/MissionGalactica.jpg)
And now I really must get to bed. More later. Thanks for stopping by.
CHEERS!
-
"the notoriously awful "At Long Last Love" (Burt Reynolds singing and dancing? Ouch--just the thought of it is painful)"
^ Thanks for sharing. It just made me smile. ;D
-
Great read MAGG. Your posters are truly shocking (in a good way of course). I especially like the old 3D posters, Logans run and scantily clad gals oh and the on poster OTT text to grab you in.
-
Hi Rosa & Steve,
Rosa, I've always wanted to see "At Long Last Love", just to see how awful it is (which may be why I bought the poster). I just don't know if I'd be able to sit through it though. Pierce Brosnan's solo in "Mamma Mia" torturous enough--GEEZ what was he thinking? I can only imagine 2 hours of Burt Reynolds attempting to be musical might very well push one over the edge. EEEK!
Steve, thanks for the kind words but I don't know poster lingo yet. What does OTT mean? (Maybe it's just too early in the morning, but I look and look at all of the photos and can not figure out which might be OTT. Hmm... the on poster OTT text to grab you in.
Cha-cha-cha! Have a groovy day.
Cheers!
-
What does OTT mean?
Over The Top (maybe there is a better term for the poster tag lines, or maybe it is tag lines, hehe)
like in your posters:
The bosomy undressed ladies are an eyeful at an erotic orgy
More grisly than ever in Blood Color
-
Oh. I'm a ding dong. DUH. Thanks!
-
Okay--quickly, here are 10 more random blasts from my collection past from the last 3 years or so (since I started posting my then-latest acquisitions on photobucket for the long lost poster collector thread on Fanbolt). This time I am avoiding some of the junk...and only posting things I still am thrilled with.
In no particular order...
First up is "Cinderella"...a non-Disney,live action import kiddie matinee from Childhood Productions in Storybook Color and "never before shown anywhere" (except whatever country it was imported from). I've previously mentioned my interest in the whole kiddie matinee thang from the 60s and early 70s. I've never seen this flick, but guessing it is just awful and kids forced to go see this dreck were probably bored to tears. Ha! Whatever the movie is like, I love the colorful poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/CinderellanonDisney_zpsed3cb847.jpg)
From the 1950s it's "CIRCUS GIRL". I've never seen this flick either---never even heard of it until I came across the poster,actually. I'm sure it's worth nothing,but the artwork is pretty nifty.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/circus-girl-movie-poster-1937-1020459683_zps230fc832.jpg)
It's grindhouse/exploitation time again with the one sheet for the sleazy "HOUSE OF WHIPCORD"! Wow! The poster is sadistically stunning. The movie isn't great--and, as I recall,pretty grueling (spoiler: the young woman you think is the star gets killed half way into the flick! Shocker!). Brilliant exploitative art though.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Houseofwhipcord_zps44128bea.jpg)
I'll never have a "KING KONG" from its original release. I've accepted that. My goal is one from the 1950s re-release. (Someday...) In the mean time, I have this 1960s (?) international re-release poster. It's not exactly what I want, but for now--it's "KONG"! I'll take it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/KingKong50sinternational_zpsbacff31c.jpg)
I've never seen "Psycho Circus". It's probably crap...but what a cool poster!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/psycho_circus_poster_01_zps78eadddd.jpg)
In my pursuit of post-"Night of the Living Dead" zombie titles, this one seemed to always be just beyond my grasp for one reason or another for the longest time. Not a great movie by any means and not a brilliant poster either (and this certainly is not the best possible photo of it either)... but I dig it and am thrilled it's mine finally. Filmed in DEAD COLOR!!! Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/gardendead.jpg)
I am not sure this photo is of my "Ilsa She Wolf of the SS" poster or not. It seems a little too mint-y and I could have sworn I got my copy back before I started keeping record on photobucket. Hmm. Whatever...I have it in photobucket, so I'll post it here as I do have one. The first "Ilsa" flick (there were 4 altogether) could very well be the best nazisploitation flick of the bunch. Dyanne Thorne was awesome in the role. I had the pleasure of meeting her last year and she was so tiny, which is amazing because Ilsa seems so statuesque and such a powerful presence!

I love kitschy, bad movies...especially those no one remembers or knows about. Hot on the heels of his remake of "KING KONG" in the 70s, Dino DeLaurentis unleashed "WHITE BUFFALO", about a giant white buffalo in the old west. Hey, if it worked for giant apes, why not giant buffalo as well? WRONG! This movie came and went so fast and is rather obscure today. I didn't get to see it myself until the VHS era. What a turd. Fun-ish poster though.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/wbuffalo.jpg)
Rounding out the last two for this post, I turn to two obscure shockers from the 70s. The first stars Klaus Kinski in yet another retelling of "JACK THE RIPPER" by cult euro-sleaze director Jess Franco.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Jacktheripperkinski_zpsf331d01f.jpg)
The last is for something called "Savage Intruder" that I'd love to see. It has a great list of old Hollywood people in it, such as Miriam Hopkins, Gale Sondergaard (who was the first choice to play the Wicked Witch of the West in "The Wizard of Oz" before being deemed "too glamorous"), and one-time Stooge Joe Besser! But I like the wild checkerboard tunnel effect and the creepy guy reaching out and surrounding the victims a lot. Another "nothing" poster, but it is kind of cool.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/savage-intruder-movie-poster-1968-1020193150_zps99c5b351.jpg)
That's it until next time. CHEERS!
-
I've watched The White Buffalo. I liked it. I like the poster too with the image of the Buffalo charging and looking like coming out of the poster.
Congrats.
-
Hi Rosa! Wouldn't it have been cool if "The White Buffalo" HAD been in 3D? Ha! I'll bet it's the only monster buffalo movie ever made! I still laugh about it. What was Dino DeLaurentis thinking? (Or Charles Bronsan for that matter...) But you gotta love the movie any way and I do like the poster. Thanks for stopping by.
CHEERS!

Here are 10 more blasts from the past, posters I acquired in the last 3 or 4 years--in no particular order:
Okay, it's no secret P.T. Barnum would have loved me--I'm a sucker for a gimmick. I also really dig the whole disaster movie genre of the 70s. That being said, how could I resist this one sheet for "VOLCANO" in "FEELARAMA!"??? WHAT?,you say. You've never heard of it, you say. Ha! Flop-a-rama is more like it. Apparently, at the height of the disaster era, when "Earthquake", "Towering Inferno" and the "Airport" movies were making big bucks, someone decided to dust off the moldy-oldie stinker "Krakatoa-East of Java" (from a decade earlier), slap a new title on it and release it with a gimmick to give it extra box office oomph! Although i don't really know for sure, I suspect FEELARAMA was a copycat rip-off of the SENSURROUND system (Big speakers turned up to 11 to make the seats vibrate and rumble) that was used for "Earthquake" and won an Academy Award. FEELARAMA was never heard from again and "Volcano" is best known today under its original title. But the poster still exists! AWESOMENESS!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/feelarama_zpsca3cd139.jpg)
Another apparently volcano/Java-inspired flick I scored a poster for is "Fair Wind To Java". I bought this on a whim. It's not worth anything, but the copy I got was in such great condition and has such vibrant colors--wow! It's just works for me even more so than when I was looking at it to buy online. O' I can not wait to be back in a house again and hang this beauty up in a frame. I really find it stunning.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/FairWind.jpg)
I mentioned elsewhere about my collection of blaxploitation horror movies (i.e. "Blacula:, "Dr. Black Mr. Hyde", etc.). While "Sugar Hill" isn't a horror movie per se, it does have horror elements---like ZOMBIES---in it. It also uses the Baron Samedi (sp?) voodoo character that was used in the James Bond flick "Live and Let Die".
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/sugarhill_zpsc307e49b.jpg)
The poster for "3 On A Meathook" is not any great artistic triumph, that's for sure. It's pretty BLAH actually. I got it because how many times have you ever seen this poster available? Not too often, if ever. The movie is no great winner either--strictly no budget grindhouse fare. It is, however, loosely based on the Ed Gein case---the same crazy that was the basis for "Psycho" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and the Buffalo Bill character in "Silence of the Lambs". I have it. End of story.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Meathook.jpg)
"Re-Animator" is a nifty little cult horror movie. I got the one sheet, but really wish I had the alternate one sheet with the comic book-style art.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/reanimator.jpg)
I also mentioned elsewhere being a fan of the peplum/sword & sandal flicks of the 50s and 60s. While "Thief of Baghdad" is only on the fringe of that category (no sons of Greek gods, no gladiators, etc.), it does star Hercules, aka Steve Reeves:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Thief.jpg)
"The Ghastly Love of Johnny x" is a 2012 low budget ($2 million) sci-fi musical set in the 1950s. It has the distinction of being the last feature ever shot on a certain kind of black and white film stock. It is also notorious for earning a heaping $114 at the box office (that's 114 dollars--not 114 million or even 114 thousand...just plain old dollars)! The filmmaker clearly was trying to create a cult movie--but instead created a mess. I had the, uh...pleasure(?) of seeing this locally wheere it played for one time only during a film festival. The director and male lead were there. They were giving away the posters. I snatched several. I also had the director and star autograph one and I snapped photos, bought the advanced DVD (also autographed), etc... That was all BEFORE the screening. Afterwards, well... Let's just say I know why it didn't earn $115 or more. Stink-a-rama! The poster, shown below, was made to look distressed and well-worn. It's rolled and not folded. Unlike a lot of other bad movies out there that have cool posters---this poster doesn't even have that going for it. Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/ghastlyloveofjohnnyxonesheet_zpsca554c76.jpg)
"PELVIS"---what is not to love about this cool yet cheesy poster. I've never seen the flick--and it probably is trash. However, unlike, say "The Ghastly Love of Johnny X", at least the poster is eye-catching and fun. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/PelvisposterB_zpse9f2a183.jpg)
Yet another gimmick advertised on a poster had me buying something called "Teenage Millionaire". Zowie! Every teenager who saw the movie got a free record of Jimmy Clanton (who?) singing the title song. Ha! I'm sure it was as utterly forgettable as this movie seems to have been. I've often though about looking it up on Youtube to see if I can find the song--but why bother? The film also stars Zasu Pitts! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/teenagemillionaireposter_zpsc37eea9d.jpg)
Finally, Westworld was for children. Futureworld was for teenagers. But "Sex World" is definitely for adults! Zowie! It's X-Rated time for this trashy and rather disappointing poster (where are all of the robots running amuck?). I couldn't resist though. As an unofficial sequel (aka rip-off), I just had to get it to go with my "Westworld" and "Futureworld" posters, right? Are there robots in this thing?? I have never seen it because I fear that what I IMAGINE it would be like (sex robots killing their guests) and what it probably really is like (sex robots with NO violence) would be too opposite and would be an utter let down.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/SexWorld_zps57ac35ae.jpg)
Okay--that's enough for now. I have a lot more I'll post later.
Off to bed-y bye. Good night and CHEERS!
-
Howdy... I just wanted to slap on a few more purchases from the last 3 or 4 years I saved on my photobucket account. Whoopie...
It's gimmick time once again... I do not recall buying this poster at all, but must have or else why is it in my photobucket account? It's just my type of poster---a cool horror double feature complemented by a super cool theater gimmick, the Witch Deflector! Zowie! I want one. Only the Witch Deflector can save you from the eerie web of the unknown! Jeepers! Why don't they have more gimmicks like that today? On another note, I find it funny that Mr. Goody Two Shoes, Pat Boone is the star of the 2nd billed horror movie! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Witchdetector2_zps2a5c723f.jpg)
Speaking of my fondness for movie gimmicks, you know I have to be a fan of Mr. Gimmick himself, William Castle. I have MOST of the posters for his horror films (the impossible dream being "House on Haunted Hill"...sigh...). I finally scored "I Saw What You Did" sometime over the last few years. As far as I can tell, this title was fairly gimmick free...other than screaming that the film dealt with the freaky and ominous sounding "uxoricide" (which is the act of a man killing his wife). SHOCKING!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/i-saw-what-you-did-movie-poster-1965-1020214216_zpsb2d5555e.jpg)
Then, for those who think young and naughty, comes this mid-60s early nudie cutie "SINderella and the Golden Bra"! HA!!! Too funny. I couldn't resist. The movie is out on DVD from Something Weird Video--and I have it, just have not gotten around to watching it yet. I just have a feeling it will never be as good as the groovy poster promises.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/sinderella-and-the-golden-bra-movie-poster-1964-1020485422_zpsf8ece0f2.jpg)
Okay, NOT a real "Beach Party" movie, but looks like a fun knock off anyway, I picked this up because I had never heard of it, the ad copy was fun and it stars Joy Harmon (the giant blonde with super-sized cleavage clutching that normal-sized country bumpkin character on the "Village of the Giants" one sheet). Zowie! Whatever happened to her?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/onewaywahine_zpsc9f9c1e6.jpg)
During the last few years, I also branched out and scored two posters for old serials. Here is "Blazing the Overland Trail" chapter 6:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/blazing-the-overland-trail-movie-poster-1955-1020202821_zps24218b35.jpg)
and "The Great Adventures of Captain Kidd" chapter 3. It's kind of funny that it never occurred to me there would be posters for the serials. D'oh! Glad to learn there are...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/GreataDVENTURESofcaptainkidd_zpscdf21c23.jpg)
I also started branching out and getting a few foreign posters--though not anything as nice as the beautiful pieces I've seen on here. Aside from the few Mexican posters I shared on my introduction page at the request of "Deke Thornton", I got this old peplum poster for one of the flicks that starred Ed Fury!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/maciste-contro-lo-sceicco-img-124147_zpsfef8999e.jpg)
"Guess What Happened To Count Dracula" is a movie you've probably never heard of, despite the awesome poster. Oh man, the movie is B-O-R-I-N-G!!! Aside from the poster, the only redeeming thing about it was a look into the famous Magic Castle magicians' club in Hollywood circa the mid-70s. But sometimes the best posters happen to the worst movies--this is one of those times:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/guess_what_happened_to_count_dracula_poster_01_zps403916d5.jpg)
Rounding out this post are two vintage horror posters. The first is the low budget drive in flick "Hands of a Strangler":
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/hands-of-a-stranger-movie-poster-1962-1020361077_zps0bc52617.jpg)
followed by the psychedelically weird poster for a truly awful (and boring) flick called "Dr. Tarr's Torture Dungeon"! Again, the best thing about it is the poster!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/dr_tarrs_torture_dungeon_poster_01_zpsacfe486a.jpg)
That's it for now. Until next time,kiddies... CHEERS!
-
Just as I was getting ready for bed, I clicked the photobucket site to close it down, but somehow advanced to the next page and there were another 10 or so posters I thought were worthy of sharing (more or less). Quickly, here they are:
H. G. Lewis, the Godfather of Gore, strikes again with "The Gore Gore Girls"!!! Although this is a rather lack-luster poster for one of Lewis' more sensational horror/gore flicks, I am THRILLED to have it. I've got about 4 more of his horror titles left to collect, but he has a lot of other zany exploitation flicks out there with poster as well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/gore_gore_girls_zpsa423e65e.jpg)
Here is yet another example of the poster being far better than the movie itself..."THE FOREST"! It's a horror, alright...a horror to have to sit through. SNORE! Such a turd, but an amazingly effective poster!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/the-forest-movie-poster-1983-1020209867_zps8e66f959.jpg)
Yet another example of my blaxploitation horror collection, "SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM"! In an interesting side note, after Blacula (William Marshall) hung up his fangs, he was the (2nd) King of Cartoons on "Pee Wee's Playhouse" in the 80s. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/screamblaculascream_zps3e0ad201.jpg)
Here are two more sword & sandal era epics, "Hercules Against the Moon Men" is a great poster and one of the more wonky movies of the period. I liked these films, but I especially loved the ones that involved witches,magic, etc. They were far more inventive and imaginative. I know I bought the poster, but do not know why this photo is in my photobucket instead of the poster and this is clearly a pristine example and mine is obviously folded and theater used. Hmm...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/hercules_against_the_moon_men_zpsc082d208.jpg)
The other is "Sandokan the Great"--not a gladiator flick, but another one on the fringe. This one stars Steve "Hercules" Reeves and was made at the tail end of the era before Italy went gung-ho for the Spaghetti Westerns.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/SandokantheGreat_zps40e54397.jpg)
Here is another of the great William Castle's one sheets. This is for the Joan Crawford vehicle "STRAIT JACKET"!!! Again, this one did not apparently have a gimmick (no "coward's corner" as in "Homicidal", no Emergo as in "House on Haunted Hill", no death by fright burial insurance as with "Macabre", etc.). I have heard vague rumors that audience goers were given free little cardboard axes. Ha! That could have been fun.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/StraitJacket_zps45b395b7.jpg)
Another gimmick appears on the one sheet for "The Magic Face". Columbia Pictures will pay you $10,000 if you can prove the story (something about Hitler being alive!?!) is not true! Zowie! I think the offer is as yet unclaimed. Maybe we should look into this...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/the-magic-face-movie-poster-1951-1020235456_zps9d16fc0c.jpg)
Two more gimmicks---3D flicks from the 80s--are evident in the one sheet for the Dino DeLaurentis produced "Amityville 3D"
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/AMITYVILLE3DUS1SH_zps2a0cda75.jpg)
and the British quad for "Treasure of the Four Crowns" (and, I've seen the film several times...I only count three crowns in it. WHERE is the 4th???):
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/treasure-of-the-four-crowns-cinema-quad-movie-poster-1_zps810564a3.jpg)
The 10th and final poster for this posting is the one sheet for the 1948 thriller "DISASTER". I had never heard of this until I encountered the half sheet at a flea market (it has completely different art, with people standing around big piles of rubble,etc.). I love disaster films, but have yet been able to track this curiosity down. Great old-school art though!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Disaster_zps7fd79933.jpg)
-
"Hitler killed in Shame murder" well..that's quite a plot and quite a poster...!
I have seen it all.. :P Thanks 4 sharing thumbsup.gif
-
...killed "After a wild wine party!" no less.
Thanks, as always Rosa, for stopping by and saying hello. You are always welcome here. CHEERS!
-
Hi. Just another quick batch of 10 acquisitions from the the last 3 years or so.
Gotta get to bed--eeek!
"COUNT DRACULA AND HIS VAMPIRE BRIDE"---the last of the Christopher Lee Drac's and my first poster in the series. (It's also the cheapest and most easily available... Ha!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/count_dracula_and_his_vampire_bride_xlg_zpsdc7e3170.jpg)
The latest "Oz" re-release (G-version). Yes, like everyone else, I have one too. But did you see it? SO AWESOME in 3D and restored! WOW!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/OZImax_zps55a32d94.jpg)
While I have all of the James Bond one sheets (truth be told, most of the older ones are the 80s re-release versions) and the combo re-release posters. I am missing ONE combo poster. But this one, the Fantastic Bond Sale with "Thunderball" and "From Russia With Love" was the poster that brought it down from needing two to only needing one. Yahoo! LOVE this!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/FantasticBondSale_zps9b68a257.jpg)
Grindhouse time again... A week or so ago I got the one sheet for the 80s cult hit "Silent Night Deadly Night". A long while back I also picked up the one sheet for the awful sequel (it played theatrically? Apparently the answer is YES)--"Silent Night Deadly Night 2". This has to be rare-ish. But who'd want it? I do.Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/silent_night_deadly_night_part_two_zps298ed8d5.jpg)
When I was a kid, I remember seeing this film advertised in the newspaper, only where I lived it was called "Cry of a Hooker" instead of "Cry of a Prostitute". The title always struck me as funny. NOT because the hooker is crying/hurt, but because I interpreted cry as in "call" like "call of the wild" or "cry of a wolf"...and I always wondered what the call of a hooker would be. "Hey mister! Got a dollar?" Probably something like that. Anway, for years I looked for this poster with the "Hooker" title--but have never seen it. I tried to get the "Prostitute" version (only version, I guess) but it always seemed to go higher than I wanted to pay. Then one day it was on for bidding again and no one else bid. It was mine for a dollar. Ha! My version is in nicer condition than shown here--not that it's much of a poster to begin with:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/CryofaProstitute_zps52582305.jpg)
"Swingers"--never seen it and know nothing about it...but I love the young and skinny Vince Vaughn (!!!) offering me a cocktail. How cool if that was in 3D. It would be perfect for a bar area... Maybe someday... Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Swingers_zps21738be3.jpg)
I'd love to get the one sheet to Veronica Lake's comeback/swan song "Flesh Feast", but I don't want to pay $100 for it. Luckily I picked up this half sheet for hardly anything! Zowie! What a sale!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/FleshFeast_zpsaad29268.jpg)
Gimmick movie!!! "Chamber of Horrors" came with the FEAR FLASHER and HORROR HORN for the frightening bits on the screen (flasher to close your eyes--horn to open them again). I got the poster for the gimmick, but when I finally saw the film...well,why bother? Ho hum.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/chamberofhorrors_zps809ba115.jpg)
Another euro poster for an old peplum flick. Oh boy.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/yugoslavian_goliath_against_the_giants_MF02016_L_zps06597b16.jpg)
The last poster tonight is also a gimmick poster..."The Starlets" was presented in 4D!! HUH??? I don't have a clue how that worked (3D plus...what?), but I had to have the poster...even though it's for an X film. Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/TheStarlets4-D_zps784f8802.jpg)
Okay--sleep calls.
Good night
-
Wednesday is my 50th (Oh CRAP!) birthday (also Income Tax Day---sorry about that). I am heading for New Orleans for a week to celebrate (a place I have never been to). Except for a "bucket list" of posters I have written down, I plan to stop buying posters (as I have so many...) once I officially hit the big Five-Oh. So, I've been shopping like a fiend, has bids or snipes set up on several auctions,etc... all for those last-minute purchases before the big day.
My flight leaves tomorrow, so I thought I'd post one last flashback of purchases from the last few years. I'll post whatever I "bought" over the next few days when I get back.
In no particular order...
I just recently got the one sheet for "Dinosaurus!. I got this re-release combo poster a while back for "Dinosaurus" and "The Blob". Sadly this is probably as close to getting an original "Blob" as I'll ever get. Darn it all... but it's better than nothing (and I do like my combo posters):
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/BlobandDinosaurus_zpse2f773bf.jpg)
"Silent Running"---classic sci-fi and incredible poster art. I can't believe I actually was lucky enough to get this:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/silent-running-movie-poster-1972-1020209768_zps5d5129bf.jpg)
"Blazing Stewardesses"--Oh my stars! I've never seen this movie properly, but I do remember when I was a kid my family went to the drive in. I don't recall what we were seeing, but I DO recall looking out the back window of our little blue Pinto (seriously!) at the screen behind us. Screen 1 (which was ginormous...at one time billed as the World's Largest Screen) had a stewardess double feature playing. I forget the title of one movie, but "Blazing Stewardesses" was definitely one of the features. All I remember was whipped cream being licked off of some woman's chest! Zowie! Scandalous, but to my little pre-pubescent eyes, it was mind-blowing. Had to get the poster. If nothing else, it has a great cheesy title!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Blazingstewardesses_zpse0639c1b.jpg)
"Rock Around the World"--I don't know anyone listed on the poster, but what cool art work. A 1950s guitar player rocking away in front of the planet. Very nifty! I dig it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/RockAroundtheWorld_zpsc83b3573.jpg)
I totally love this old school poster for "The Black School". The lion attacking the fainting woman is just classic. Very cool.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Blackzoo_zpsa0bc192b.jpg)
Here's a bit of obscure 80s horror---"The Mutilator"! By sword, by pick, by axe...bye bye! Ha! Gotta love that tag line. I actually saw this in the theater. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/mutilator-1985-movie-poster_zpsa3cb1b7f.jpg)
The picture they said could never be shown... Not a great poster by any means, "Snuff" had an ingenius ad campaign when it came out. The fake protests for publicity that soon became a national outcry. Zowie! People who had never even seen the movie got caught up in the frenzy and picketed theaters showing it...only making the curious rush out to see it! I wanted to see that movie soooo bad. Years later when I finally did--it was crap, of course. But the memory of exploitation brilliantly played is forever instilled in the poster---a film that could only be made in South America--where life is cheap!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/snuff-movie-poster-1976-1020688065_zps82c1de03.jpg)
BLOOD-CURDLING! HAIR-RAISING! SPINE-CHILLING! Eeeek! It's "The Horrors of Spider Island". Wow! Cool poster--love it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/horrorsofspiderisland_zps728b221c.jpg)
Here is another blast from the B-Movie past, "ATOM AGE VAMPIRE"!!! I'm sure the movie is schlocky as heck, but you gotta like the fab-o-rama old school poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/AtomAgeVampire_zps4fc2917d.jpg)
The 10th and final poster-a-go-go for the night is another B-Movie beauty, "TORMENTED". Wow!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/tormented-one-sheet-1960_zpsd961e456.jpg)
That's it for tonight. Fingers crossed I win a lot over the next few days (I just have NO IDEA how I'll pay for it all. Ha!)
CHEERS!
-
Happy big 5-0 for Wednesday MAGG. Have a great ol time in New Orleans
I looked up "Blazing Stewardesses" on IMDB and it got a rating of 1.9... Not bad, it could be worse! The whipped cream licking off chest piqued my interest
"Tormented" art sure looks great
Good luck with the bidding
-
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the birthday wishes. Argh! I'm trying to get ready to get outta here. EEEK!
I don't know for sure that the whipped cream scene was in "Blazing Stewardesses", but do know that was one of the two films playing at the drive in that night (and it obviously had the title that resonated with me). Just looking at the poster though,it's kind of strange seeing names like Yvonne DeCarlo and The Ritz Brothers (only 2 of them left apparently---and their first film in more than 30 years!!!) in a movie that screams out youthful sexual shenanigans (all of those stewardess movies of the 70s were T&A flicks for the most part, weren't they?). Again, I never saw the movie completely---just bits and pieces out of the rear window of the car.
Gotta get outta here. EEEK! CHEERS!And thanks for visiting...
-
Belated Happy Birthday! Apologies for being an enabler, but I hope you break your promise to stop buying any more non-bucket list posters too :)
Thanks for sharing your collection, I really enjoyed reading this thread - good looking posters and interesting comments...more please!
-
So glad I found your thread MaGG, it is an enjoyable read.
Love your posters and your commentary.
cheers

Hi Tob and Brude. Thank you for your kind words. Tob, thank you also for the belated birthday wishes. It turned out to be the best,most amazing birthday ever. As for limiting myself to a bucket list, well...let's just say before I hit 50, I greatly expanded the perimeters of that list. Ha! As for those bids I put in before leaving, ZOWIE! I have a plethora of new posters to share. I got some jewels, some bucket list wants and some "eh" posters as well. I'll do 10 as usual and save the others for later. Here they are in no particular order:
Here we go-go....
This first photo may look familiar to those who peruse the "for sale/auction/trade" thread. Yes, in my pre-50th birthday buying frenzy,I bought Steven11788's original 2012 and 2013 re-release posters for "Halloween" for the rather princely sum he was asking for them. Ouch! But they're mine now. I will blame it on temporary middle aged insanity. (But the real truth is I'm nothing but a poster whore...who had his tax refund in the bank. Ha!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Halloween%20re-releases_zps7wsnqrx9.jpg)
"Wild Wheels"--i know nothing about this poster. It was just cheap and got snatched up in my whirlwind buying frenzy....
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/wild%20wheels_zpstyvhyd81.jpg)
I already mentioned digging those old "Hercules"/sword and sandal/peplum flicks from the late 50s and early 60s. Here is the one sheet for Steve Reeves' "The Trojan Horse" (interesting,action-packed poster, but I found the flick kind of a cure for insomnia... Ha!).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/trojan%20horse_zpslgbupfed.jpg)
"Savage Season"??? Huh? Never heard of it, although it stars Ron Harper from the "Planet of the Apes" TV series and "Land of the Lost"'s 3rd season (Uncle Jack)--but, huh? What was I thinking? It was $1. I was out of my head. Need I say more?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Savage%20Season_zps86bdehfw.jpg)
Ding! Ding! Ding!! Another bucket list poster....the original "JAWS"! I have the re-release, but always wanted the original! Zowie!!! Not the most pristine version, but I'm happy to have it. Bite me!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/JAWS%20original_zpsghmzpy3r.jpg)
"Werewolf of Washington"? Cheesy. Have you ever seen this flick? I have. It's laughably stupid. Why'd I buy the poster? Because it was there...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/werewolf%20of%20washington_zpsyf7dpqs4.jpg)
"TERRIFIED"---Crappy creaky low budget old movie, but what a cool poster of a guy being buried alive! Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/terrified_zpssug3ndw8.jpg)
An Italian 70s re-release poster for "Son of Kong"---not the best art by far, but probably the closest I'll ever get to having any paper on this title. Waaagh!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/son%20of%20kong%20italian_zpsum1vec4s.jpg)
"The Sexpert"... I have no idea what this flick is about (other than the obvious...it IS x-rated after all), but it ended up mine. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Sexpert_zpsmsboiadz.jpg)
Finally, another bucket list surprise...the "I Drink Your Blood" / "I Eat Your Skin" double feature combo poster! Yowza! Yes, it's in a bit rough condition, but still cool and I can't wait to frame it/hang it. I've wanted this for years! Groovy!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/i%20eat%20your_zpsotcvaahy.jpg)
And that's it for now! Lots more to come.
CHEERS!
-
ARGH! I didn't like how the last post came out---too rushed. I was actually in a hurry when I did it as I had an appointment at the gym I was running late for. However, halfway to the gym my trainer guy called and cancelled the appointment--NOT because I was late, but because his car was in the shop. Oh well. I'm not complaining. Instead, I thought I'd post another poster post-a-go-go! Yeeah!
On your mark, get set, go-go!!!!
Yes, I KNOW I just bought (and posted on here) the double feature poster for "The Horror Chamber of Dr. Faustus" and "The Manster"---but that was a black & white poster. When I discovered it also came in color, I HAD to have it!!!! (Anyone want a black & white double feature poster? Ha!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Hottot%20chamber%20dr%20faustus%20manster%20combo%20color_zpsxozy0irk.jpg)
I don't quite know what this is... I love my "Exorcist" rip-offs. This film, "The Antichrist" was released in the late 70s as "The Tempter". Hmm. Is this a teaser before a title change or an alternate release or what? I don't know. Dull as the poster is, it was cheap-o-rama ($1, maybe?) and...what the hell? (Pun intended).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/the%20antichrist_zpsr9mjcsow.jpg)
Oooo... an alternative poster for the re-release of "This Is Cinerama". The other version is better (the theater audience seemingly on a rollercoaster, looking at the tracks ahead---eek!), but this one was available at a good price.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/this%20is%20cinerama_zpsbg4qfhip.jpg)
I know you are waiting for an interesting poster or two to pop up. Ha! I told you I was in a buying frenzy---I bought anything and everything. This is yet another anything and everything poster---but it is a combo/double feature poster...and I do like those. I've not seen either of these but I dig the four tiny witches (?) doing whatever over the reclining man's startled face in "Night of the Witches" and can only imagine the cheap and cheesy horrors of "Dr. Frankenstein on Campus"--bound to be utter crap or you would have heard of it long before now. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/night%20of%20the%20witchs%20dr%20frankenstein%20on%20campus_zpsvdy3lucj.jpg)
Looking to expand my horizons with foreign posters, I picked up the not-too-interesting but whatever Spanish poster for "Nosferatu in Venice" (aka "Vampiros en Venice"). Anyone ever see this? Is it any good?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Nosferatu%20in%20Venice_zps1amqdwm4.jpg)
I got an advance holofoil "Matrix" sequel poster---although I didn't follow the films at all (I was bored in the first one, didn't bother with any of the others...). Is this a good find or not? Eh...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Matrix%20revolution%20holofoil%20teaser_zpsbfanwoyc.jpg)
Awesomeness... I have long coveted the pre-release comic book-like "Creepshow" poster when it was going to be distributed by United Film Distribution, before Warner Bros. bought it. I have always thought this was the superior poster of the two (although I do like and have the Warner poster with the Creep guy in the ticket booth).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Creepshow%20comic%20book_zpsz4hevqsl.jpg)
"King of the Coral Sea"---huh? A forgotten 50s melodrama starring a young Rod ("The Birds"/"The Time Machine") Taylor. Colorful poster though...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/King%20of%20the%20Coral%20Sea_zpsesewgkks.jpg)
Here's another kiddie matinee (remember, I have a fondness for those---which, at 50, is kind of creepy to admit. Ha!). This one is a K. Gordon Murray Mexican import--"Puss N Boots". I am reasonably sure I already had this one, but... better to be sure and just buy it. Right?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Puss%20N%20Boots_zpsgfnxz0cy.jpg)
Get out your big stomping shoes! This post's finally poster is for one of the lamer movies in the "Godzilla" series, "Godzilla on Monster Island"--featuring Ghiddra and Gigan (and, if I'm not mistaken, this is the movie where --via the magic of subtitles--we actually see and hear Godzilla and Gigan have a conversation for the very first--and last--time! Ha!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/godzilla_on_monster_island_zpskxbklcac.jpg)
There is a lot more trash and treasures coming your way--more to post! Stay tuned!
Cheers!
-
nice job MAGG. I dig the Wild Wheels and the Italian King Kong...
so you're officially no longer buying any new poster now, right?
-
Hey Crazy Vick! Thanks for stopping by. I may post another batch of acquisitions in a bit (I'm not home now). As for not buying new posters...the self-imposed provisions of my bucket list leave room for me to buy posters for any new James Bond films or certain horror series films or any movies that really grab me and I really love. But for the most part, no. I'm just going to focus on those on my extensive bucket list of posters. No more mystery posters like WILD WHEELS or SAVAGE SEASON. Just stuff I know and have been looking to buy for a long time. :-) I hope I can stick to it. Cheers!
-
Here's another 10 from my mad-middle aged (well, I can pretend it's only middle age. Right?) shopping spree. EEEK!
First, I'm reasonably sure I already have this...but why not another copy of the grindhouse-looking, faux stained (blood?) "CEMETERY MAN" one sheet?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Cemetery%20Man_zpsvmyou3ff.jpg)
I'm absolutely clueless as to why I felt the need to buy the poster for "Clueless"--a movie I never even bothered to see. WHAT-ever....
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Clueless_zpswmwtvp78.jpg)
Knowing my penchant for kiddie matinee posters, you can guess that this was on the list. I got it cheap---but the masking tape in the upper corner ruined it. Waaaagh! Still, it will due for now until another comes along...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Snow%20White%20and%20Red%20Rose%20Big%20Bad%20Wolf_zpsorx3c8ti.jpg)
No idea. Cheap. End of story.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/cries%20in%20the%20night_zpstl75qsie.jpg)
Years ago I wrote some silly story for a fiction writing class in college. Someone said it reminded them of "The Egg and I"--which I had never heard of. It turned out to be an old movie and the original appearance of Ma and Pa Kettle, who would go on to make several movies. I have the movie collection on DVD but still have not seen it. BUT I have started collecting the posters that go with it. Here is one I just got, "The Kettles in the Ozarks".
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Kettles%20in%20the%20Ozarks_zpst33xas2u.jpg)
Crappy movie, but cool poster---isn't that often the case? "The Amazing Transparent Man" is just such a flick---using well-worn stunts used in the "Invisible Man" series for a bargain basement horror thriller with zero shocks and nil entertainment value. Ha! But the poster is fun and--gimmick alert--it warns that the Amazing Transparent Man will "appear" at every performance of the theater. Ha! Love those old gimmicks!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/KGrHqJHJFMFDVgqZypDBQ8FKfDZw60_57_zpsau37nkvt.jpg)
The Italian poster for "Eye In The Labyrinth" is cool-ish. This is not my poster---the image borrowed from another site just to show you what I got---so please excuse the watermark logo.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/eye-in-the-labyrinth-italian-movie-poster-39x55-1972-mario-caiano-rosemary-dexter_zpssyionwhs.jpg)
An X-rated "Alice In Wonderland"?? Gasp! Shield your eyes and no peeking! This 70s flick played endlessly in R and X versions---and makes a great companion piece for my "Erotic Adventures of Pinocchio" poster I got a while back. (If you haven't seen it, be aware it is VERY dated, low budget, and it's a musical with very bad songs...)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Alice%20in%20Wonderland%20x_zpsgtvfqqxt.jpg)
"Book of Life" style C. Never bothered to see it. I got the poster though. Whoopie...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Book%20of%20life%20teaser%20b_zpsgfeua42i.jpg)
Mario Bava's "Planet of the Vampires"...zowie! I've never seen the movie but have long wanted this poster ever since seeing it on the VHS box cover at a video store back in the 80s. So COOL!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/planet%20of%20the%20vampires_zpsbqa9r3vd.jpg)
EEEK! It's an Argentinean poster for a Mexican (??) movie:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/El%20Vampiro%20Sangriento%20poster_zpszn33zgtp.jpg)
Wow! Another vintage poster... I've not seen this either but am guessing the poster is better than the movie? Great monster art! Yikes! "Battle Beyond the Sun"!!! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Battle%20Beyond%20the%20Sun_zpslbasd1cv.jpg)
Did I say I was only going to post 10 posters? Yikes! It looks like you are getting an unlucky batch of 13. This last one is a mammoth French poster for "Voodoo Black Exorcist". I got it from emovieposter.com so forgive the watermark. I've seen this movie twice at least and remember very little about it, just something about voodoo dancing in an island village and a voodoo zombie on a cruise ship. HUH? Yep--it's a turd. But the poster is fun (in a freaky sort of way...). Get your mojo going...or the VOODOO BLACK EXORCIST zombie may get you! EEEK!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/french_1p_voodoo_black_exorcist_BM03424_C_zpseawf7grw.jpg)
Okay... That's enough for now. Have a cha-cha-cha groovy evening.
CHEERS!!
-
That's a lot of surreal posters you have there MAGG. I've always wanted the Amazing Transparent Man poster. I like too Alice in Wonderland... wondering what Humpty is doing. And Rock Around The World thumbup
-
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Cemetery%20Man_zpsvmyou3ff.jpg)
Now, I am officially jealous.
Great poster!
I'll trade you a Mark of the Devil barf bag or a Horror of Party Beach bikini for it. imbecile.gif
-
Hi Steve! Thanks for visiting. It's always nice to see you here. Glad you liked some of the posters.
Brude---ha! I have some "Mark of the Devil" barf bags (real ones and some of the fakes that have been made)...but "Horror of Party Beach" bikinis??? Huh??? Are you pulling my leg? Ha! I'd love to see a photo if they're real. I'm glad you like the "Cemetery Man" poster--but they're not that hard to find. (Are they?)
Here is the last ( ? ? ? ? ) batch of purchases from around the 50th birthday. Most are just "eh"...
First, I don't know what happen but I somehow lost the image for "The Reluctant Sadist"--something I posted earlier. Here it is again:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/reluctant%20sadist_zpsekxppa6d.jpg)
Here's a French re-release poster for Andy Warhol's "Trash". I got it from emovieposter, so I apologize for the watermark. This is actually a gift for a friend, but his birthday isn't until September. This isn't the ad art I'd prefer for the flick--but my friend is a big Dallesandro fan and probably doesn't have this poster so...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/french_1p_andy_warhols_trash_R80s_BM03424_C_zpsdbscpkxz.jpg)
Then, it's the one sheet for the 8 Films To Die For After Dark Horrorfest 2007:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/after%20dark%20horrorfest%202007%20one%20sheet_zpsx0usfg6s.jpg)
Another recent emovieposter win (and, again, forgive the watermark) was "The Godchildren"--a faux sequel and I LOVE faux sequels. I wonder if anyone really believed this was a sequel? Ha! It was super cheap---it is a crappy poster. Anyone ever see the film? I'm uber curious now.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/godchildren_JC12566_C_zpslfdmx34q.jpg)
I never bothered with "Jupiter Ascending"--heard it was crap---but the visuals looked interesting and the poster is nice looking...and inexpensive. SOLD!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Jupiter-Ascending-Main-One-Sheet_zpsjl6swvle.jpg)
The final poster in my "turning 50 frenzy" is the French poster for "Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me". Not the most exciting poster--but I love David Lynch and am a huge fan of "Twin Peaks". I am excited about the revival series that is supposed to come next year--but dismayed to hear that Lynch left the project before it got started. Hmm... We'll see what happens. Anyway, here's the poster:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Twin%20Peaks%20Fire%20Walk%20With%20Me%20french_zpsu8mqh5r8.jpg)
That is all for now---unless the weekend brings me more goodies and/or I decide to share some more acquisitions from the last three or four years again. Hmm.
Have a groovy evening. Thanks for coming to visit.
CHEERS!
-
Brude---ha! I have some "Mark of the Devil" barf bags (real ones and some of the fakes that have been made)...but "Horror of Party Beach" bikinis??? Huh??? Are you pulling my leg? Ha! I'd love to see a photo if they're real.
It might be this one. Straight from the set. wynk
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-La-hkBcbgsQ/T7sDJe-uNUI/AAAAAAAAKQ8/O1li6sTk1O0/s400/The_Horror_of_Partyy_Beach__037.png)
-
Oh--like an actual costume from the movie. I thought it was some sort of premium given to theater goers---like the MARK OF THE DEVIL barf bags or the ZOTZ coins or fake beards for RASPUTIN THE MAD MONK, etc. Zowie! How cool to have a movie-worn costume from that flick.
-
Okay... So I'm B-A-C-K with more purchases. As you know, I have been saving myself for marriage...er, uh, NO!!! I mean I have been confining my purchases to the "bucket list" variety... But, man o' man, did I shoot the proverbial wad tonight (and I'm talking FINANCIAL wad, just in case someone out there had a dirty mind) and...eeek! I won't be buying anything else for a long while. OUCH! What was I thinking? Ha! Guess it will take me even LONGER to get out of debt than I thought. Ha!
Anyway--here's a peek-a-rama at my recent posters-a-go-go!
Yes, even though this movie is not well known, I have been trying to get this poster for decades. I LOVED this movie as a kid. On Saturdays there used to be this horror double feature on one local channel. They didn't have a huge library and tended to show the same movies several times. I always made it a point to watch "Burn Witch Burn" when it was on. I don't even know what they appeal was today, having seen the film as a grown up. It's interesting but very subtle and slow. It's hard to imagine a 12 year old being glued to the TV set for it---but I was. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Burn%20Witch%20Burn_zpsm0bpye5w.jpg)
"Phantom of the Paradise" is one of those movies that the poster makes you want to see soooooo badly....and yet, in all of these years, I have NEVER seen it. I'm almost afraid to now---as the movie must be ultra dated (?). The poster--which I find fantastic--has always been beyond my grasp though. Maybe now that I have the poster I can finally get around to seeing the movie? Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Phantom%20of%20the%20Paradise%20style%20c_zps5jsrpkti.jpg)
"Halloween 4"?? A "bucket list" title? I will buy all of the posters for all of the "Halloween" movies--past or future (even those Rob Zombie turd...of which the poster for the first one really was good). While I am reasonably sure I have to poster for "Part 4" already---there is a sliver of doubt in my head. So, since it wasn't that expensive, I just bought it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Halloween%204_zpsviek2rqb.jpg)
When I bought "Halloween 4", the one sheet for "Halloween 5" came with it. So...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Halloween%205_zpsbctpdupc.jpg)
"The Creature From The Haunted Sea" is a crappy flick---with a cool poster. Need I say more?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Creature%20From%20The%20Haunted%20Sea_zpsryeh8exu.jpg)
"Man From Deep River" isn't really a cannibal flick per se, but it IS kind of the movie that launched the Italian cannibal genre. If it weren't for "Man From Deep River"s success, there may have been no "Cannibal Holocaust" or "Cannibal Ferox" etc. Whatever.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Man%20From%20Deep%20River%20color_zpsjpfjehnk.jpg)
"The Murder Gang"??? Huh? It came with "Man From Deep River"---REALLY! Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. The artwork is nice, but it would have been nicer in color...and who ever heard of this flick?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Murder%20Gang_zpsvjgfpiiq.jpg)
"Ride The Wild Surf"---wow! One of the big kahuna of bucket list posters (well, maybe more of a lesser bucket list item...but "big kahuna" goes better with the surfing theme). i love all of those old Frankie & Annette beach party flicks. I've been trying to expand on other beach-y titles and this one was a natural. It's more serious in nature--not nearly as campy--but I wanted it anyway. Great graphics and stars people like Fabian, Tab Hunter, Barbara Eden,Shelly Fabares, and Susan Hart. Yet, it has always gone way, WAY high. I'm not sure why, but I have a copy now so I no longer need to worry about getting one.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Ride%20the%20Wild%20Surf_zpsy6bjlkk4.jpg)
"The Wild World of Bat Woman"---WOW! I love the cheap, cheesiness of this poster. The drawings of the people at the bottom look like they were done by a 6th grader...Ha! I've been trying to get this poster for years---the movie is just trash. I love it! Sooooo excited to have this finally.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Wild%20World%20of%20the%20Batwoman_zpsifcmhy8g.jpg)
I have been waiting forever to get "Terror in a Haunted House" as well! Love the screaming woman and the floating skulls graphics! I still need to track down the half sheet, because the one sheet makes no mention of the gimmick used with this flick (Psycho-Rama!), which the half sheet does. Still---wow! LOVE this!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Terror%20In%20The%20Haunted%20House_zps6ee1uhlk.jpg)
And that's all for tonight, gang. I am tired and BEYOND BROKE! Ha! I let so many things get away--and fought to keep others...and my credit cards are not going to be happy campers! (But my future walls will be when I get these babies up! Yahoo!)
CHEERS!
-
Well done. I'll have to look up Burn Witch Burn movie. I especially like that poster and the last 3 posters happy1
-
Yes, the ones you like---"BURN WITCH BURN", "RIDE THE WILD SURF","WILD WORLD OF THE BAT WOMAN" and "TERROR IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE" are the picks of my current litter...I's also include "CREATURE FROM THE HAUNTED SEA" in that list. As for "BWB"--you probably wouldn't like it. As I said, I saw it recently as an adult. It's talky, slow and subtle. Kind of dull...but still kind of neat.
Thanks for the visit. CHEERS!
-
Another nice haul of trashy treasures.
Good on you!
cheers
-
Brude!
So nice of you to pop by. Thanks for noticing my new "trashy treasures"! I am ever so glad you approve.
Cha cha cha!
CHEERS!
-
Not much happening poster shopping-wise for me lately. I've picked up a FEW goodies, but I'll save those for when I have more to share. Instead, I thought I'd do another flashback to purchases from the last 2 years or so (since they are all in boxes or tubes until i move back into a house). In no particular order:
"Francis in the Haunted House"---I've never seen any of the Francis the Talking Mule movies (yet). This was the 8th (?) and last one in the series. I've always been curious about this series ("Francis" came before "Mr. Ed") and this swell poster is about him going to a haunted house! Yowza! How fun! With Mickey Rooney too!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/FrancisinahauntedHouse_zps187fe6c8.jpg)
Here's another of those kiddie matinee posters. This one is for a non-Disney "Pinocchio" (All new! All live! Never before shown anywhere! Presented in glorious glowing Storybook Color.)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/PinocchiononDisney_zps8c208064.jpg)
Here's a late (and lesser known) entry in the cannibal genre, "White Slave"!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/WhiteSlave_zpsbc1af6f0.jpg)
This movie is crappy---despite all of the stop motion animation, etc in it. But wow! Such a fun and schlocky poster---"LASERBLAST".Don't bother with the movie--just hang the cheesy poster on your wall. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Laserblast_zps6f333139.jpg)
I know what you are thinking, that "Sharknado" is NOT a movie and played on TV. This can NOT be a "movie poster". WRONG! While it WAS a TV movie, it did play theaters mere days after it debuted--but there were NO posters for that showing. However, several months later, RiffTraxx (the former Mystery Science Theater 3000 guys) did a "live" show that was broadcast in theaters from coast to coast. This is the movie theater movie poster to advertise that event. (And yes--I DID go to see it! You gotta love the glorious stupidity of "Sharknado" movies! Hello!??!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/RiffTraxLive-Sharknado_EPK_zps5e987b83.jpg)
"The Strangler"--never seen it but a creepy cool old poster that makes it look disturbing and with Victor Buono (King Tut from "Batman" and also from "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane"), it's bound to be interesting.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/the-strangler-movie-poster-1964-1020197313_zps94edd29c.jpg)
"The Child"---simple black and white poster, but effectively creepy with the gnarled trees, long shadows, off hinge gate, hint of graves and, of course, the glowing-eyed girl. Oooooooo
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/TheChild_zps0189104b.jpg)
During the spy craze, everyone was getting into the act...including "The Flintstones" in the big screen movie "A Man Called Flintstone". If the poster looks familiar, it's because it's mimicking another popular spy movie poster, "Our Man Flint"! Zowie!

Alas, it's the poster for an apparently LOST bigfoot movie (that looks like it might have been awesomely BAD), "REVENGE OF BIGFOOT" starring Rory Calhoun! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Revenge_of_Bigfoot_zps29c03442.jpg)
And here's our 10th and final flashback poster for the evening, William Castle's gimmick-laden poster for "HOMICIDAL" (the film with the "Fright Break" and the "Coward's Corner"!! Ha!).

Okay bed calls.
Good night!
CHEERS!
-
There's more schlock in this thread than even a schlockmeister like myself can stand.
Keep 'em coming!
cheers
-
Hey Brude,
Since I can't sleep...okay! Here is more schlock from the last 1-3 years.
CHEERS---and thanks for visiting!
PS Just woke up and for some reason this is still in draft/preview mode. Ha! My bad... Let me correct that...
Okay, yes this first poster is for some adult movie from the 70s called "Heatwave". No, I've never seen it but I had to have it because... Well, back before email, I used to do this quirky thing. I used to write long letters to friends and then I would decorate the envelopes as if they were mini-movie posters for amazing epics that never existed. I'm no artists, so I made all of these xerox copies of of old movie ads from newspapers and would cut them up and create "new" ads with them. I came across an ad for "Heatwave" and used it (and other ads) in my envelope movie poster for a new sequel to "THE OMEN" called "THE OWOMEN". To make the title, I cut out the letters of "THE OMEN" and flipped an "M" upsides for the "W". I used the lady with the devil snake as the main art with the catch phrase "Wouldn't you know it would be a woman who brought about the end of the world". (Sorry ladies...). Blah! Blah! Blah! Anyway, when I saw this poster for sale on emovieposter.com, I HAD to buy it just in memory of my old faux poster art.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/heatwave_zps5453ca7f.jpg)
"The Mutilator" is a quasi-lost and mostly forgotten slasher flick from the 80s. It survives on video (vhs and bootleg DVD), but from what I read, the company trying to get it out on (legitimate) DVD was discovering that there were no film elements for the completed film any where---just bits and pieces. I actually saw this in the theater way back. It was a scary experience--not so much because of the movie, but because there was a clearly mentally disturbed person in the audience. He would get up, stand beneath the screen, look out at the audience and do this little bounce dance...then sit back down. He did that several times. This was years before that horrible shooting in Denver, of course...but he freaked me out--especially because I was there all alone and might have been (gasp!) under 17 in an R Rated movie. I was sure he was going to go psycho and "get me". Anyway, the poster is viciously creepy and sleazy...very effective.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/mutilator-1985-movie-poster_zpsa3cb1b7f.jpg)
Mario Bava's "Blood and Black Lace"...blood and gore were never so stylized and pretty (in a morbid sort of way) together. An early classic Euro gore flick by one of the brilliant masters...and I am thrilled to have the poster for it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/blood_and_black_lace_poster_01_zps148f7460.jpg)
I remember seeing the commercials and newspaper ads for "HORROR HOSPITAL" as a kid and wanting to see it desperately. During the VHS era i finally got my chance. SNORE! However the poster is still amazingly sleazy-awesome! Grindhouse patrons probably flocked to see this based on the poster alone. Had to have it...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Horror%20Hospital_zpsdnoqzd2v.jpg)
"Tentacles" is another example of the poster being better than the movie. I already had a copy, but apparently sometime in the last few years I bought another simply because it was out there for sale--cheap--and I couldn't let it just go for as cheaply as it was listed. This isn't the best photo of it--but the artwork is fantastic. Too bad nothing as exciting or as interesting as the poster happened in the movie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/tentacles_zpse8529097.jpg)
Jayne Mansfield and Phyllis Diller were the main attractions for me buying the one sheet for "The Fat Spy". Have you ever seen it? AWFUL! It is extremely low budget. Jayne plays a daddy's little rich girl-type (well beyond playing a daddy's little girl and quite chunky in this--possibly just after having one of her kids? And only 4th billed with a cartoon image of herself on the poster? Jayne was clearly at the end of her career with this trash...). Phyllis Diller looks like she's just starting hers. It's a mish-mash...part wanna be beach movie (complete with singing and dancing teens), part treasure hunt, complete mess! Still, it's Jayne Mansfield!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/FatSpy_zpsa86a6bfc.jpg)
"The Pirates of Blood River" looks like a fun movie...but I'm guessing the poster is better than the flick? Who's ever heard of this any way? It does star Kerwin ("Seventh Voyage of Sinbad") Mathews, Glenn ("Homicidal") Corbett, and (3rd billed?) Christopher (Hammer "Dracula") Lee though. Fun poster!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/the-pirates-of-blood-river-movie-poster-1962-1020552684_zpsa019fcc3.jpg)
I dig my old Hercules/peplum/sword & sandal flicks from the 50s and 60s...but I'm not sure if this early 70s flick would qualify. Ha! Back before he was "Conan" or "The Terminator", Arnold Schwarzenagger (as "Arnold Strong") was Hercules in "Hercules in New York". It says it was filmed entirely in New York. I actually think i saw this ages ago on VHS. If so, what I remember was very low budget and very bad. Still, I love the shot of Herc driving the chariot through Times Square in the poster. is that in the movie? Probably not. And it stars Arnold Stang? Oh my! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/23580_zpsc29f4341.jpg)
Speaking of Hercules, I also picked up "The Three Stooges Meet Hercules"...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/ThreeStoogesMeetHercules_zpsbad8d1fd.jpg)
Last one for now..."WAR OF THE ZOMBIES"! Zowie! This looks like it might be fun. Clearly something I should try to track down? The "Zombies" in the title caught my attention--but these don't look much like the Romero-esque zombies of today. I wonder why this never played on Saturday afternoon TV back when I was a kid. It looks like it would have been fun.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/warofthezombies_zpsae34b8bd.jpg)
Okay---there's 10 more. Nothing fancy (clearly).... But it is what it is.
CHEERS!

clap clap clap clap clap clap

I can't sleep (what else is new?) and I need to get up at 5 a.m. for work... BLAH! So, I thought I'd post some more blasts from the recent past from the last 1-3 years (images I bothered to save to photobucket). Here are 10 more posters in my collection:
The Don Knotts movies of the 60s were silly, mindless fun. I was thrilled to finally track down a copy of "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" a short while ago. Before that though, I scored "The Reluctant Astronaut". I don't remember much about the flick, other than Knotts plays a guy who runs a space ride at a local amusement park...and somehow gets mistaken for a real astronaut and sent to NASA! Hilarity ensues---I guess. The rest of the movie memory is murky... Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/the-reluctant-astronaut-movie-poster-1967-1020191977_zpsce0d6a41.jpg)
I think I need to see this movie, "MOONCHILD"---but I have a feeling it will suck. But, zowie! The ad copy is groovy. "Racing to his final exorcism! Pursued by bizarre demons from his shrouded past. A reincarnate...trapped in a recurring nightmare of occult evil." It sounds there is a lot going on in this flick---but since no one has ever heard of this, it can't be that fantastic. But I'm a sucker for anything "exorcism", so...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/MPW-96778_zps3f10d282.jpg)
"Apartment Zero"---Love this cool little art house gem of a movie. I also dig the quasi-mysterious poster art.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/apartment-zero-movie-poster-1988-1020196776_zps979eefbe.jpg)
"Frozen Alive"---I've not seen this but it looks like an ultra low budget trash fest...but, cool-ish poster!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/FrozenAlive_zpsf4f64da0.jpg)
"Fright Night"--the original. I don't know why this poster is so expensive usually. (Truth be told, it's not great in my book...)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/FrightNight_zpsf99986d1.jpg)
Okay--this has to be the lamest poster ever...and it tells you nothing about the plot. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the one sheet for "The Twonky". If you've seen it, you know why I got this. Ha! How many movies about attacking TV sets have you seen? This is unintentionally (???) funny and has to be seen to be believed (the movie--not the poster).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/26018_zps75c021b2.jpg)
"Alligator"--a giant monster on the loose flick that came out in the wake of "JAWS". Not the best poster in the world (the Euro version was way better), but I want to go ahead and post this so i remember (when I see it--Ha!) that I DO ALREADY have this. I'm always thinking I don't...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/alligator1_zpsd22ef7eb.jpg)
Anyone want some beefcake? "Latin Boys Go To Hell"... Is this even a movie poster? Apparently it is. I bought this as an investment, figuring the bear-chested guy will be appealing to down the way and the price (next to nothing) will go up the older and scarcer this gets. The thing I do like about it is the unconventional layout---the title is on the top and bottom, with the credits all on the side. Different. And--eek! A hint of pubic hair. Ha! Whatever...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Latin%20Boys%20Go%20To%20Hell_zpskmxxjniv.jpg)
I like my combo posters. This one is kind of boring, but figure it's as close as I'll ever get to a "Mark of the Vampire", "Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde" and "Mask of Fu Manchu" as I'll ever get...plus it has Karloff, Lugosi and March on it. Nothing spectacular, but...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/3shockshow_zps3850c4e9.jpg)
Last one for the night, "Passion Plantation"--sexploitation sleaze ripping off "Mandingo" and "Roots". Why isn't trash like this out on DVD? Waaagh! This was probably hysterically funny without meaning to be.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/passion-plantation-movie-poster-1978-1020708982_zps7c001f14.jpg)
Okay--there's 10 more. Off to bed now...hopefully I can sleep.
CHEERS!
-
I'll try to see The Twonky movie if I can find it - sounds interesting. It might be the only movie I choose to see this year, maybe along with the latest Mad Max.
There is a thread here for double bill posters (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php?topic=2045.15) maybe you'd like to add on to.
-
I saw "The Twonky" years ago. Hans Conreid is the star and owner of the Twonky...so maybe it really IS meant to be funny? it is just odd either way, but is also very dated and low budget. It's nothing great---there's only one Twonky and it does not conquer the world or anything. Heck, there's maybe only one set (the house) with various neighbors stopping by. It's cheap and silly.
Thanks for directing me to the double feature poster page. Unfortunately it looks like most of the images are gone. Drat. I'll explore and add to it later. Thanks. It's always a pleasure to see you, Steve.
CHEERS!

You are one funny dude MAGG
Keep it up!
Dig your posts - but i'd never hand over my portfolio to you!
;) ;D

Agreed. Very refreshing seeing MAGG's posters and reading his thoughts on those. Good to see the person & personality behind it. I like your collection very much.
-
I just managed to track down 'The Twonky' on YouTube. God bless you for that!
-
LMAO
You are one funny dude MAGG

Good morning!
Wow! Thanks for all of you stopping by. I appreciate the visit. I am glad you made yourselves at home (I do hope the bathrooms were clean... Oh my!).
Crazy Vick---always a pleasure seeing you. Perhaps the term "investment" was not the best choice. I'd say "a quick buck"---but I fear I'll have to stash this thing several years before getting that quick buck. Got that poster for $5...hope down the line the shirtless, pube-sprouting guy poster will get me at least $20 or so. I can't believe how much posters go for these days (even trash no one wants). Glad you got a chuckle though.
Rosa, hi there! I'm so glad you like my collection. It's not classy. It's not beautiful. But it is what it is.
Monocle, by now you may have sat through "The Twonky"... Are we still "God blessing" me for that...or cursing me? Ha! When TV sets attack...! Yikes!
erik1925 For a second I thought you had written another word... (oh my!) ...and then I noticed the first letter was actually a "T". Never mind...
And, just when you thought I was going to drudge up more purchases from the last few years ago again, here is a batch of NEW purchases!!! (Ooooo pretty-pretty!) Bucket list items, you may ask? At first glance, you would probably say "no way" (even at 2nd glance...or 3rd...or 347th...), but... let me explain as we go...
This first one is the jewel of the posters presented today. Ooooo how I've wanted this one for a long while. "Circus of Horrors"! Yippie!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Circus%20of%20Horrors_zpsb9ckistl.jpg)
The poster for "The Black Cat" is decidedly...not that interesting. Why bother? Well, I was trying to track down horror posters from Lucio Fulci. I have "Zombie", "House by the Cemetery" and "Gates of Hell". Why not "Black Cat"?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Black%20Cat_zpsbqwkdrpz.jpg)
"Game of Survival" (better known as "Tenement")... I already have this. It's "new" but I got it only because it came with "The Black Cat" (yes--it was a two-fer deal).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Game%20of%20Survival_zpsjrjomyz4.jpg)
"Tarzan Contra Los Hombres Leopardo"... Huh? I love my Tarzan movies, but had never heard of this movie (with someone named Ralph Hudson playing Tarzan??). Oh my STARS! The world of unauthorized Tarzan rip-offs has suddenly opened up to me. Zowie! There are many, many bogus Tarzan flicks out there I've just learned...and posters to go with them! Bucket list item was Tarzan posters I don't have yet... Wow! There are many, many more now than I had originally thought.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Tarzan%20contra%20los%20hombres%20leopardo_zps0cbfatyt.jpg)
"Rollercoaster Rabbit"? YES! Don't judge. Don't judge....
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/roller-coaster-rabbit-poster_zpsn6x3ly3f.jpg)
"Back to the Beach" ?? Hello? I have all of the classic Frankie & Annette Beach Party posters now. While I had a "Back to the Beach" poster already, it was folded and I was not happy with it (and I don't mind folded posters at all--usually). This purchase was a chance to finally get a rolled version. Kowabunga!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/back_to_the_beach_zps7oexcas3.jpg)
Ha! Speaking of folded vs rolled, the poster I got of "Bloody Birthday" IS folded -- unlike this example photo I'm sharing which looks rolled (is that possible?). I like this version of the poster better than the other style (the crudely drawn hand in the birthday cake with the fingers acting as candles). (Bucket list: 80s slasher flicks/holiday horrors I don't have yet)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/bloody_birthday_zpscnma5vwm.jpg)
Oooo... I scored a later Boris Karloff (bucket list--old Karloff posters I don't have yet) poster, "The Haunted Strangler"! Zowie! "Their wild beauty marked them for death"---wild beauty? That conjures up interesting images, but it's probably just then-present era model types (who can't act?). Ho hum...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Haunted%20Strangler_zpsj0gcyq1d.jpg)
My last poster de jour is the preferred style (by me) for John Carpenter's "The Fog". I never really liked the movie that much (but it is sooooo much better than the remake. Geez that was crap!), so there was never a rush to get this poster---and then poster prices started climbing and climbing and CLIMBING! Cross this off the list now...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/THE%20FOG_zpsqdkjfq6o.jpg)
Okay, have a cha-cha-cha groovy day. I've got to hit the shower and get myself to a doctor appointment. O' the joy of aging... NOT!
CHEERS!
-
Hope your doctor's appointment goes well.
-
Circus of Horrors and Game of Survival are exquisite. thumbsup.gif
-
I'm really liking your version of The Black Cat, too!
That feline looks wicked! (and that's wicked with a "W" ... lol)
devil 2
-
As a massive 'Bilko' fan, seeing Maurice Gosfield pop up on a poster has made my day. Well that and 'Feelarama'...
-
Hello! Thanks for visiting again everyone.
Rosa, thank you for the well wishes for my doctor visit. If you care to know why I went, it's because I have been having hot flashes (seriously!) for the past few weeks. Since women have menopause, do men have womenopause? I've certainly seen many men pause when women walk by---but what does that have to do with feeling like you are roasting for no reason at all? ARGH! Whatever this hot business is---I want it STOPPED! UGH!
Crazy Vick, glad you like CIRCUS OF HORRORS and GAME OF SURVIVAL. Thanks for the note.
Jeff/erik1925--thanks for the remark about "THE BLACK CAT". You'll also be happy to know I WAS wearing my glasses when I read it too. (SHOCKING, I know...) Ha!
Monocle--who DOESN'T like a little FEELARAMA now and then? Unfortunately that is the ONLY movie to ever have been released in that process (as far as I can tell). I'm sure you are also rushing out to see "Teenage Millionaire" (don't forget to pick up your free record while you are there) just so you can see Doberman in action. It's not playing anywhere around here. Good luck finding a theater showing it.
CHEERS!

Shawn, really truly, this is one of the funniest things I read this week. Thank you! If you ever have a show on telly do let me know. Sure I'll be watching it!!
Hope whatever it is, is not serious.. maybe too much poster luv ;)
-
Hi there Rosa! Thank you for the note. I'm glad you found my bit of silliness, well... silly. (I was kind of worried someone would find it offensive perhaps? I don't know why...).
Incidentally, I am "hot flashing" even as i write this. I'm hoping to cool down soon enough so I can put my shirt on and try to go to a movie in the next few minutes (No groans from the peanut gallery, but I am thinking about seeing the 3D version of the new "Poltergeist" movie. It probably sucks, as most remakes do, but I'm game... I didn't even know they were making a remake! Ha!). What's with these flashes? EEK! I expect to spontaneously combust at any moment... Whew!
Stay cool.
CHEERS!
-
Hi there! I was waiting until I got 10 new posters...but, at 9, I was just too excited to wait any longer to share.
It's a bumper crop of International posters...something I have very few of. The amazing thing is, almost all of them are English versions of International posters (many I've seen the same posters in other languages). None are all that great, but I am ever so pleased to get them! Yippie!!
First off, wow! Wow! WOW!!! I never thought I'd score one of these---but here is the French version (ooo la la!) of the original "Planet of the Apes"! For years I resisted buying foreign posters over US one sheets. I'd seen this over the years many times--and loved it. I thought (and STILL think) it is the BEST version poster for the film. Of course now when posters are at an all time high price wise, I finally decide to go for it. Ha! Although I still lack (and want) the US one sheet (the only "APES" title I don't have), I am beyond thrilled with this one. C'est magnifique!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Planet%20oif%20the%20Apes%20frenchB_zpsnobuomfe.jpg)
Also not in English is the Spanish poster for a re-release of "The Wizard of Oz". I HAVE a few of the US "Oz" re-releases from the early 70s on, but way back in 1983, just after graduating high school, I went on a whirlwind, cheap-o-rama trip to Europe ALONE. It was not supposed to have been that way, but... Anyway, one of my first stops was in Barcelona. I really had no idea what to do or see. I saw a few things and then, to pass the time, I went to the movies. "The Wizard of Oz" was playing...with this poster advertising it. The dialogue was in Spanish but the songs were in English (!)--and there was this amazing, freaky short film beforehand that was creepy yet cool about a woman in a hooded robe or something who would peek out with only one eye showing. Weird. I wish I knew what that was. Anyway--so glad to add this "OZ" poster to my collection.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Wizard%20of%20Oz%20spanishB_zpshatlqsev.jpg)
The final non-English international poster is for schlock and sleazemeister Jess Franco's "Oasis of the Zombies"---about Nazi zombies in the desert! EEK! I've never seen a US one sheet for this--was it even released theatrically here?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Oasis%20of%20the%20zombies%20spanishB_zpsbkgizher.jpg)
My new hunt for unauthorized Tarzan films and their posters continues with these new additions---the first is "Tarzan- The Kawana Treasure" starring someone named Richard Yesteran as the swingin' ape man! Not the most interesting poster---but it was in English and I'm on a quest! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Tarzan%20The%20Kawana%20TreasureB_zpscnchy2rs.jpg)
The next fake Tarzan is "Tarzan and the Rainbow" (aka "Tarzan and the Brown Prince") starring Steve Hawkes as Lord Greystoke! Man, I wish these films were AVAILABLE to see. I dig me some Tarzan flicks! I've seen all of the surviving (or THOUGHT I had) "Tarzan" films. Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Taezan%20and%20the%20RainbowB_zps9ua4wvpw.jpg)
The one US poster (I think) I got was for another Jess Franco sleaze fest, "Wanda the Wicked Warden" (aka "Greta the Mad Butcher"). WHY did I want this? Because it is ALSO known as today --the the magic of dubbing and title changes---as "Ilsa the Wicked Warden", one of the four flicks in the shock-o-rama Ilsa saga starring Dyanne Thorne! I have the posters for "Ilsa She Wolf of the SS", "The Tigress" (which is better known as "Ilsa-Tigress of Siberia") and (I think) "Ilsa-Harem Keeper for the Oil Sheiks"...but until now, never the "Wicked Warden" poster. So yippie!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/wanda_wicked_warden_poster_01_zps1gwxgth6.jpg)
This next one features some of the crappiest artwork ever, but I had to have it! I love my disaster flicks of the 70s. "Blazing Tower" started out life as a (bad) TV movie called "Terror on the 40th Floor"--a TV movie ripoff of "The Towering Inferno". International viewers were lucky enough to have to PAY to see that turd--Ha! I have been hunting high and low for a one sheet for this flick (in English), and finally scored one from Lebanon! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Blazing%20TowerB_zpshzexq2ms.jpg)
I got myself another of my peplum/ sword & sandal posters for "Spartacus and the Ten Gladiators"---a Euro-poster in English! Yippie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Spartacus%20and%20the%2010%20gladiators_zpsq309xtzf.jpg)
And the final poster tonight is the British one sheet for the wonderfully silly/bad crime/adventure flick filled with man-eating piranha (and the dumbest animated tornado ever seen on screen. Ha!)..."Killer Fish" starring Lee Majors and Karen Black!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Killerfish%20britishB_zpsj3ikn8rv.jpg)
Okay--I need to get to bed. Cha-cha-cha!
CHEERS!
-
Congratulations MAGG, I can see the first 2 are very exciting additions. I do also like the others though Blazing Tower... that did make me laugh
-
Hi Steve! Glad you liked my new additions (I'm thrilled to have them--but some of them really don't do it for me--but I had to have them any way). Have you ever seen "Blazing Tower"/"Terror on the 40th Floor"? Oooo it's AWFUL and STOOOPID. As I recall, there are a bunch of people in a high rise having a Christmas party on the top floor (instead of a grand opening party as in "Towering Inferno") when a fire breaks out. Instead of action-packed escape attempts, we get stars John Forsythe, etc. with smoke swirling around them, having flashbacks about certain moments in their lives with family, co-workers, etc. Could they have been more sensitive? Should they have reacted differently? These are the things going through their heads. SNORE! Most of the actors involved had their careers go up in smoke after this disaster (and I use "disaster" in every sense of the word) flick.
Thanks for stopping by.
CHEERS!
-
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Planet%20oif%20the%20Apes%20frenchB_zpsnobuomfe.jpg)
My favorite poster for the film also.
It is beautiful.
Congratulations!
cheers
-
Agreed. Beautiful. Though i must thank you for Killerfish. Very "refreshing" seeing a "man" rather than a blonde or voluptuous brunette being devoured by the fish. Equality at last.
-
Hi Brude/Ted. Thank you for the congratulations. The APES poster is truly a gem (and the highlight of my decidedly lackluster latest haul. I "needed" all of those posters for one reason or another--but, for the most part, they're lacking pizzazz or something).
Rosa, you are welcome for the man in peril poster ("Killer Fish"). Ha! Perhaps that is also why you like the APES poster, because it features a man in chains (instead of a woman)?. Heck, even the horribly illustrated "Blazing Tower" feature mostly male victims (one of which is on fire! Yow!). The lone female does have the dubious distinction of having a plate of glass shatter against her though, moments before she hits the ground from her fall/jump. EEK! But, hmm. That does have me wondering about just how many poster images there are out there with a male in danger as opposed to a female. Thank you for calling my attention to something that should have been so obvious (since--duh--scantily clad women in some harrowing situation are usually used in poster art).
CHEERS!

Today's sharing of recent acquisitions comes with an important lesson. Do not---repeat--- DO NOT ever bid outrageous amounts of money for items you expect to be outbid on anyway just because you have to work and can watch the auction process. Why? Because it will BACKFIRE on you and cost you dearly. OMG!!! What the heck am I going to do? OUCH! My credit cards took a big hit. I don't know if I can sustain this habit much longer. It's just gotten so pricey in the last 10 years or so. Jinkies!
Anyway, here's some recent stuff...
You know I have a thing for Blaxploitation horror titles of the 70s. We'll here's the one sheet for possibly the biggest Blaxploitation horror flick of all, "Blacula"! You are probably shaking your head and asking yourself, doesn't Monster A GoGo already have that? The answer would be YES. OOps! I saw one for sale at a cheap price that I could not let go by so cheaply and , knowing I'd be outbid, bid on it anyway and...D'oh! It's mine now. ARGH!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Blacula_zps2ivuoiyr.jpg)
From Blacula to Dracula, here is the one sheet for the 2nd to last Hammer Dracula flick starring Christopher Lee in the role, "Dracula A.D. 1972"...it's also my second poster in the series (I'm working my way backwards it seems...going from the least in demand/cheapest on back, apparently. I already have the last one, "Count Dracula and his Vampire Bride" and now this one.). Notice that it is co-billed with "Crescendo" in it's original release.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Dracula%20A.D.%201972%20with%20Crescendo_zpsmcnhvqps.jpg)
"Return of Count Yorga"---I've never seen any of the "Yorga" movies. I just got this poster because it came with "Dracula A.D. 1972". Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Return%20of%20Count%20Yorga_zpsctw4ddr7.jpg)
I've wanted this next curiosity for years. I've never seen the flick, but aside from the circus aspect of the film/poster, "Ring of Fear" stars (but was NOT written by) pulp novelist Mickey ("I, The Jury") Spillane.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Ring%20of%20Fear_zpsyftz9x8x.jpg)
While the hunt goes on for a decent "King Kong" re-release poster and/or "Mighty Joe Young", here is "Konga"! Again you may be thinking, doesn't Monster A GoGo have "Konga"? The answer would be YES unfortunately. See "Blacula" above as to why. Groan...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Konga_zpswtcnmcpu.jpg)
Sometimes you just like things because they are so awful. I've never seen "Rhinestone" (and never will), but the idea of Sylvester Stallone singing country music with Dolly Parton is just so god awful AWFUL---it must be a howler, albeit a very painful one. I got the poster to remind myself that even box office giants (I never understood the appeal of Stallone myself) can get too big of egos and make stinkeroo flop-a-ramas that the very existence of make me smile at how ill-conceived they were.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/rhinestone_zpsmhdhbfur.jpg)
"VAMP"---simple, classic, clever. Kind of like a horror version of the poster for "Victor / Victoria"
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/vamp_xlg_zpsmbipycyy.jpg)
Euro horror queen Barbara Steele stars in "The Ghost"! EEEEK!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Ghost_zps5sb85dwr.jpg)
Another zombie flick---"One Dark Night". I actually saw this years ago in the theater. I remember it being a nifty little flick.i should track it down again. At the time I thought it was very underrated. I don't remember much about it now though. Crappy poster, but...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/one-dark-night-cinema-one-sheet-movie-poster-1_zpsspka8lsf.jpg)
"The Black Castle"---stunning poster. Not one of Universal's big classics (I've never even heard of it) but it does feature Karloff and Chaney.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Black%20Castle_zpsdit7nplz.jpg)
Yowza!! Andy Milligan's "Bloodthirsty Butchers"!!! O' how I've been trying to get that title... His films are god-awful, but the posters are wild. This one is actually the nicest of the horror titles, but the others ("The Rats Are Coming, The Werewolves Are Here", "Torture Dungeon", "The Man With Two Heads", etc) have an amazing sleaze factor to them. LOVE EM!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Bloodthirsty%20Butchers_zpstlaasevn.jpg)
Although it does not mention it on the poster anywhere (waaagh!), "Dragonfly Squadron" is an old 3D movie from the 50s. It's also one of the few that have been restored and released on 3D blu-ray. This as those "diamond folds" in it that mar it somewhat---but it's still very nice. It also stars Bruce Bennett (He was a pre-Weismueller TARZAN when he was calling himself Herman Brix)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Dragonfly%20Squadron_zpsz5i7sq1w.jpg)
"Lady Godiva"---why? Believe it or not it is because I already have the 60s nudie quasi-sequel "Lady Godiva Rides"
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Lady%20Godiva_zpsxi6yrhaz.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/LadyGodivaRides_zps0e5d5391.jpg)
Oh.... I LOVE this poster for "Satan's Satellites"---so hokey and cheap and dig that robot! Zowie! Cool poster for a low budget turd!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Satans%20Satellites_zpszyod3pzu.jpg)
My final poster and prize o' the day is for "Viking Women and the Sea Serpent". Just GORGEOUS!!! Wow!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Viking%20Women%20and%20the%20Sea%20Serpent_zpsv9lufkxe.jpg)
Of course now I have to PAY for these somehow. HA! Oh well... Uh... Ha!
Until next time...
CHEERS!
-
Nice adds, MAGG.... really like The Black Castle and Konga. ( notworthy.gif Reynold Brown).
-
Yes nice additions again. I also like the Reynolds Brown designs and The Viking Spent is a good score, Well done. I notice the posters are in excellent condition too thumbsup.gif

Good to be reminded of Henry Silva's existence! According to IMDB he's still very much alive. As for 'Blood Thirsty Butchers'. I saw Berwick Kaler - who plays the splendidly named Tobias Ragg - on stage back in the 80s. Apart from television work he is known within UK theatreland as one of the very best pantomime dames we've had for decades! I can't say there was much gore on offer that night but there was a good deal of dangerously sparkly glitter.

So sad to hear about your credit card blues, but that goes with the territory. wynk
They are all cool, but this one really caught my eye.

Dragonfly Squadron looks fantastic. And it has a funny tagline (next to the couple). I always liked the Vamp too. It looks so much better in person. And yes....We all go for a shopping madness once in a while. But hey...Enjoy them!
-
Hi there. Golly,thanks everyone for visiting while I was working the last few days. I appreciate your company and am always happy to see you.
Jeff/erik1925: It's always nice when something I buy gets a nod of approval from you. As a fellow Californian and as one of the administrators who has, I'm sure, way, Way, W-A-Y nicer stuff than I do, it's just nice to hear "I did good" (at least on some of the stuff I drag home...).
Steve/50s... Hey! I also really dig the VIKING WOMEN AND THE SEA SERPENT. Never seen the flick but that poster is amazing (in my book) and yes, most of the scans posted were photos of/scans of the actual posters and they are in great condition. YIPPIE! Always a pleasure to see you, Steve.
Monocle/Nick: Henry Silva? You must have gone way back to the first page with the "CRY OF A PROSTITUTE" poster to be reminded of him. Ha! And... Eeek! Dangerously sparkly glitter?!??!! O' the HORROR of that. Who knew that an actor in a Milligan movie would go on to be famous--even if in another branch of the entertainment world. Fascinating and that thank you for that tidbit.
Crazy Vick... OH MY STARS!!!! Thank you for posting that clip. It was actually WORSE than I imagined it to be. And you LIKED it? Huh? Justin Beiber will be CRUSHED. Anyway, I know for sure now that I will never, EVER even attempt to watch that movie. P.U. What a turd. The poster is enough for me...
Brude/Ted...so delighted you liked "The Ghost"--one of those groovy euro-horrors from the 60s. It's more of a rarity though. (I think it's a sequel to "The Horrible Dr. Hitchcock" maybe?) Since it's not as well known, purchasing it was kind of questionable...but I did think the poster was cooly-O anyway. Thanks for agreeing. What's the difference between an "administrator" and a "global administrator"? "Global administrator" sounds so ominous in a way... Hmm.
Mirosae/Rosa: I am pleased you also like "Dragonfly Squadron". Thanks! I agree that VAMP looks better in real life. As for "shopping madness"---well,I went a tad mad tonight, but I could NOT help it. Several bucket list items were available tonight and, with the exception of a few I had to let go, I got them---spending big, BIG bucks in the process. YIKES! None of the images below are of the actual posters for various reasons. Lenticulars are notoriously hard to photograph, so the one lenticular poster image I grabbed from the internet. The others were all "won" this evening on emovieposter.com. Instead of running images with "emovieposter.com" splashed across them, I just found alternates online. Sorry--but would you have rather had it the other way?
Here's a peek at what bankrupted me tonight:
"Monster House" lenticular. This is cool. I saw one hanging in a theater once and had to have it. This lenticular moves in that it shows the boy standing in front of a house. As you move around the poster, the house morphs into a monster house. This image is about mid-transformation. Zowie! How neat-o!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Monster%20House%20lenticula%202_zps7sb27nca.jpg)
"This Is Cinerama". This is an early 70s re-release, but I've never seen the original poster available and I'm a sucker for a gimmick. Zowie! How cool it must have been to see something in Cinerama. Love this audience on a rollercoaster image--too wild!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/This%20is%20Cinerama%20A_zpsoec53hte.jpg)
Here's another kiddie matinee poster for my collection, K Gordon Murray's imported/dubbed "Rumplestiltskin"!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Rumplestiltskin_zpsiky3j0ml.jpg)
And here is "Pinocchio in Outer Space"!!! NOT a kiddie matinee, but when I came across this poster years ago (never able to get it--drat!), it's vibrant color and energy won me over. Had to have it! And it (proudly and prominently) features the voice Arnold Stang! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Pinocchio%20in%20Outer%20Space_zpsmqoda0vj.jpg)
The next two are super big bucket list items---oh my stars! The first is the very first feature-length 3D movie that started the 3D craze of the 1950s.... "Bwana Devil"!! A lion in your lap---a lover in your arms! WOW! As a hoarder...er, lover of gimmick posters, this is a HUGE coup for me.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Bwana%20Devil_zpsvoqrospx.jpg)
Finally, the biggest (i.e. most expensive and rarest?) bucket list find of recent times is "White Slaves of Chinatown"---the first in the infamous "Olga" series (it was followed by "Olga's House of Shame"--what a great title. Ha!, "Olga's Girls", "Madame Olga's Massage Parlor"--which is sadly considered a "lost film" as no prints are known to exist, and "Olga's Dance Hall Girls"--which is so awful and features an impostor "Olga", but is somehow still my favorite). The Olga films are cheap mid-60s nudie roughies. They are laughably bad/cheap. There is no synchronized sound--or very little. The story is mostly told with a narrator and classical music. In the b&w flicks, girls are abducted and tortured and forced into prostitution, drugs, etc. Sleazy but silly by today's standards. All very hokey. This was the very first time emovieposter.com featured this poster for auction (so said a little blurb on the bottom of the listing). Yowza. It's a crappy poster really, but I am sooooo thrilled.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/white_slaves_on_chinatown_poster_01_zpscypg8ywf.jpg)
CHEERS!

Oh man! I have a problem with my "WHITE SLAVES OF CHINATOWN" poster. I deleted it last night from my "bucket list" and went to bed. This morning I received this email:
Shawn,
This is Bruce. After the auction for WHITE SLAVES OF CHINATOWN closed, we discovered that the poster had part of the bottom border trimmed off (approximately 1 1/4"). The poster measures 27" x 39 3/4".
It was clearly visible in the image of the poster, but was not mentioned in the condition description.
If you want to cancel the poster, that is fine. If you do, we will offer it to the underbidder (we reviewed the bidding, and we imagine there is a good chance he will want it).
So please let us know ASAP if you want to keep it or if we should offer it to the underbidder.
I very much apologize for this error. I have talked to the people involved, and we will make a greater effort to not miss defects like this.
Please reply soon.
Thanks,
Bruce
Golly. I'm crushed. It's a very rare poster and one I really had been searching for. It was only in Good to Very Good condition due to staple holes and clear tape being applied to the back where the holes were--and now has the trimmed bottom. The poster was more than $400 (a fortune to me). The poster is more than 50 years old and this was the first time this particular site had offered it. That's how rare it is.
I now need to decide if I want to keep the trimmed poster or release it for a refund. I'm NOT into linen so linen backing and repair are not really an option. Hmm. I need to decide QUICKLY.
What would you do?
Thanks!
-
Now that you say here it was Bruce and emovie you got this from.. a partial refund may not be in the mix...
dontknow.gif, tho, for sure.
Cant hurt to ask him, either, I suppose.
-
Here are my replies:
Hi Bruce.
Oh NOooooo. I am just heart sick that it's trimmed. I read about the tape on the back but there was no mention, as you said, about it not being the whole poster. I am just soooo crushed. I have wanted this poster for years and years--and now I don't know what to do. Golly, while $409 is a small fortune to me, I wasn't going to lose this poster. I had stopped bidding on two other posters ("Have Rocket Will Travel" and "Joys of Jezebel"--which I also dearly wanted) because I suspected that "White Slaves" (which was only about $100 then) might get expensive. (It did!). I actually deleted it off of my "bucket list" of posters last night before going to bed. Waaagh! I just don't know what to say.
I'm NOT a linenbacking fan at all. I wouldn't even know how to go about getting it done, who is reputable and who isn't, or the cost. I just don't know what to do or say. Spend $409 for a trimmed poster or let my years-long hunt go on?
I am sure Mr. Runner up will want it. I'm not sure if I want to let it go--but it's not a whole poster. Hmm. What would YOU do? You are the expert... (Ha!) Could you give me a discount at all?
Golly. Can I have a few hours to think about it and get back to you by the end of the day? Dang. I just don't know what to do.
Thank you.
***
And then this second note:
Okay... I've thought about it, looked at the poster again (I noticed you added the fact that it was trimmed to the description now), and looked at the bidding history. While I am still just sick about it being trimmed, I thought I would suggest this. I will pass on the poster to Mr. Runner Up (La713294) bidder. If he takes it for his last bid of $399, so be it. If he passes for $399, that would make me 2nd runner up (over Th455102, whose last top bid was $164) at $169. I'll take it then.
I'm probably kissing this poster goodbye.
Man. What a horrendous bummer.
Thanks!
****
I'm sure Mr. Runner Up (LA713294) will take it. Bye bye poster... Oh well. It was mine for a few hours at least...
Thanks for the help and the words of wisdom.*
CHEERS!
*You know who.
-
Waaagh...it's gone.
Here's the note from Bruce:
Shawn,
We will offer it to the underbidder. If he doesn't want it, we will re-auction it, mentioning the trimmed bottom border.
We will let you know what happens. We will get the poster taken out of your order and we will refund you the portion you paid for it.
Again, I apologize for this mistake.
Thanks,
Bruce
-
That is a sad story.
But I think the bright side is that every collector in this hobby just saw the price this poster fetched.
That might just be enough to bring a few more out into the light.
Keep the faith, Go-Go Monster.
There is another one out there with your name on it.
cheers
-
Keep the faith, Go-Go Monster.
There is another one out there with your name on it.
Golly, Brude/Ted, I sure hope so.
And as for others selling their copies---Ooooo, I certainly hope so.
Thanks for the note.
CHEERS!
-
Sorry to hear that.
On the plus side $400 will get you A LOT of beer..
-
A lot of something...that's for sure. Oh well. You win some. You lose a lot.
-
Nice monsterhouse MAGG. Did ya know the picture above is of a bus shelter sized one?
-
Yes. As I explained, I used a picture from the internet since it is hard to get a good photo of a lenticular. This was just to use as an example. But you clearly know your stuff.
Thanks for the visit.
CHEERS!

CHEERS!
Its funny because thats my picture of my bus shelter Monsterhouse :)
Heres a link of my collection(5 pages) before i sold some. I have more MH pics in here http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,7422.0.html
-
Ha ha ha! That IS funny. At least I was honest as to where I found the photo (off of the internet, randomly). Who knew it was yours? Ha! But you have an amazing collection of lenticulars. Oh my STARS! I have several myself--but you...WOW!
My lenticulars:
Texas Chainsaw 3D
Alice In Wonderland
Lost World: Jurassic Park 2
Final Destination
Journey to the Center of the Earth
Shark Boy and Lava Girl
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Max Payne
Day After Tomorrow
Monster House
Spy Kids 3D
Ice Age Continental Drift
Shadowbuilder
Chronicles of Narnia
Monster House was, of course, the most recent acquisition. I also have a badly damaged re-release of "A Nightmare Before Christmas" and another badly damaged (spent $200 on it and it arrived destroyed...no compensation from the seller (although there was supposed to have been insurance on it--he never did anything to help me collect it)...of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. I don't suppose there's any hope for those?
I bow down before ye, o' master of all things lenticular.
CHEERS!
-
Well i had over 100 but I am selling off to support my tiny house lifestyle soonish. That and my back hurts from moving them around lol. Never commented on your stuff but i love your videos on youtube and your other site showing your collection. Great stuff from a great guy! Ok I am on a mini vacation at a tiny house I booked at the lake with my girl so my poster time has expired for now. Its so sweet! About to watch the Hobbit.
-
Selling off??? Oooooo let me know when. If I'm not totally broke by then, I may be interested.
Back to your tiny house vacation and your GF...
Have fun!
CHEERS!!
-
Jason has some great lenticulars. I know he has sold a lot and still has a lot.
-
Thanks Randy. I do hope he shares with us when he's selling. LOVE lenticulars.
CHEERS!

Hello. I've got more to post...some of it groovy, other stuff just okay (oops! I was only supposed to be buying bucket list stuff from here on out). I also need your help/opinion on an item I got within the last week as well. (More on that at the bottom of this entry.)
First, it's yet another one of my kiddie matinee posters from the 60's/early 70's. This one is another Childhood Productions poster for "Aladdin and his Magic Lamp". Again, this is presented in Storybook Color...and (zowie!) Storybookscope!!! Ooooo. It was also "Never before shown anywhere" ...except maybe in the Soviet Union where this film was originally made? Ha! I have not many of these old kiddie matinee movies--except for the few I actually was dragged to as a child--and certainly have seen none as an adult. But it's on imdb (with it's original Russian credits), so I may have to give it a watch. I'm sure the poster is better than the flick. That usually seems to be the case.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Aladdin%20and%20his%20Magic%20Lamp_zpsfotecoch.jpg)
Next is a foreign poster for the "Exorcist" ripoff "Beyond the Door"! This poster is in English, but is definitely NOT the U.S. one sheet. Instead of "directed by" it says "Direct by", so clearly whoever created this didn't have complete command of the English language--but very close. I actually like this movie. REALLY! I think that may be because A) it stars Juliet Mills, who so charmed me as a child in "Nanny and the Professor" and B) during the post-"Exorcist" hoopla, I remembered all of the hoopla that followed THIS movie, too. I didn't get to see "The Exorcist" until years later (1981 I think...on a double bill with "The Shining", not counting the glimpses of it at a drive in when it played on the screen behind us)...but I DID catch "Beyond the Door" on late night TV not so long after it played in theaters...so this was where I lost my possession movie virginity (oh my!). Stunning artwork on this--although it really does not go with the movie that well. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Beyond%20the%20Door_zpskaipgvsg.jpg)
"The Bloody Pit of Horror" with "Terror-Creatures from Beyond the Grave" is next. I love my double feature posters--yahoo--and I've longed for a "Bloody Pit of Horror" poster (there are two versions--this one and one when it was on a double bill with "Body Snatcher From Hell". But this one features the BPOH much more than the other one does). It's such a silly, over the top flick. Mickey Hargitay is in high camp overdrive...without even meaning to be.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Bloody%20Pit%20of%20Horror%20and%20Terror%20Creatures%20From%20the%20Grave_zpsunjz7x2z.jpg)
George Romero's "Knightriders" is not the greatest flick ever, but I've wanted to get the poster of it for a long while...just NOT this version. I like the alternate version better. Oh well. This will do until the other comes my way.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Knightriders_zps0ulrx9zd.jpg)
"Peyton Place" is one of my fave movies--seen it a zillion times. I actually already had a copy of this poster, but this looks like it might be a nicer copy. "Peyton Place" seems to be a more or less hard title to find. (And, my stars, it took me YEARS before I ever even SAW a "Return to Peyton Place" one sheet. Jeepers!) It wasn't too expensive, so hopefully this can replace my old copy.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Peyton%20Place_zpsqs0vnaqq.jpg)
I also like my old. cheesy sword & sandal/peplum movies (or, as I simply call them, "Hercules movies"--even though Herc is clearly NOT in this picture). This one is "Son of Samson". I already had a rough copy of this poster. This looked like another upgrade. Yippie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Son%20of%20Samson_zpsvsrpldxu.jpg)
The movie "Tentacles" SUCKS! Man,it's a stinker. The best thing about it is the one sheet (a female swimmer being attacked by a giant octopus. Very cool.). I have that, but came across this poster recently. Like the "Beyond the Door" poster above, this one is a foreign release poster--but curiously in English. (Both posters are coming to me from Peru!) I don't know why I bothered. Yes, this is in English and yes, it features artwork I hadn't seen before...but the movie really does suck and I really dig the U.S. one sheet more than this one. Oh well. It's a done deal.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Tentacles_zpslthyakha.jpg)
"The Wild Rebels"?? No idea. It was just cheap and it was just a poster that was "interesting enough" (and cheap enough) to bid on from a dealer who had something else I wanted that closed at the same time. To pad out shipping costs, i bid on this too...and ended up losing the main attraction poster (which, at this point, I don't even recall what it was). Oops.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Wild%20Rebels_zpsnzodsrzu.jpg)
Okay this next one is a "bad" poster. Just look at creepily Leon Isaac's bulging, staring eyeballs. Is he a zombie...or is his acting that bad? Ha! I'm sure not many of you have a "Fighting Mad" poster in your collections...at least NOT on purpose. Ha! Anyone know who the artist is? 21 Century releasing employed this guy (whoever he is) for a number of their posters--including, I am sure, "Revenge of the Shogun Women"--which was the very first framed movie poster I hung on my walls as an adult. His work has a juvenile, cartoon-y feel. I actually LIKE it (particularly the "Revenge of the Shogun Women" poster obviously). Not that I wanted or needed this, but it was cheap and clearly by the same artist who did a lot of 21st Century's posters.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Fighting%20Mad_zpsz6y73eyj.jpg)
"The Obsessed One"--also from 21st Century, although I don't think it was the same artist--looks like another blaxploitation horror flick. I am reasonably sure I have a copy of this poster already (do I? Hmm.) But this was cheap--so why not get one to be sure? I know nothing about the movie...but it's from 1974 and the ad copy makes it sound like an "Exorcist" knock-off. Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Obsessed%20One_zpsbabpunmh.jpg)
Here's a poster that is a total mystery---"Berserker". Why do I have it? Because it came with "The Obsessed One". I know nothing about it...but also don't know if it's a theatrical poster or a video poster. There's no rating on it--but there's also no "now available on videocassette" either. It's copyrighted 1987 from American Video Group. I know at that time, some video companies were producing low budget product for theatrical release and then releasing it on video right afterwards...before just skipping theatrical releases altogether. IMDB says this HAD a theatrical release, but was this the theatrical poster...or the video poster...or BOTH? Looks funny/awful though (I saw part of the trailer on Youtube...something about a Nordic legend and a terribly silly looking fake killer bear attacking people! Ha!)

"Bandit Island"...This is the only photo that is NOT an actual photo of the poster I bought. The reason is mine was purchased on emovieposter.com...and they have that lovely watermark on all of their pictures (joy...). Anyway---had to have this one. I love gimmick flicks--and 3D is gimmick-a-rama in my book, especially since it's vintage 1950s 3D. Zowie! The graphics are great on the poster and the amazing thing is that "Bandit Island" was only a 3D short---not a feature length film. It is also,reportedly, lost. No known prints exist. Waaagh. Fun poster though.

This last new acquisition is where I need your opinion/help. Occasionally I will look on Craigslist for posters. There's usually not much--if anything--listed. However quite a while back (Maybe a year or so ago), I noticed this guy selling this one poster that had me curious. He was asking $400 for it though--and that was way out of my ballpark. After not looking at Craigslist for several months, I looked again last week and saw he still had it for sale, but had marked it down to $100. In addition to it's being pricey, I think a reason he did not sell this poster was because the owner lived in Yosemite National Park--which is quite a drive (and you have to pay $30 to get in to the park!). But at $100... Hmm. I was tempted. You see, in addition to being autographed, there was also included a prop from the movie attached to it--all nicely framed and with a COA. I contacted the seller and decided to buy it. It's Tim Burton's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" poster, and is supposedly autographed by Johnny Depp and three others (actors?) from the film, and comes complete with a prop Wonka bar attached.
I went and picked it up today. It's nice and it does have a COA from a place I'd never heard of before. He said he got it at Disneyworld quite a while back. Years ago (1998) I visited the Disney-MGM Studios and went to a store selling old, original Disney movie posters. I bought an "Escape to Witch Mountain" and a 70s "Alice in Wonderland" re-release poster. But it was a simple store--no fancy framed things like this. And the WONKA remake isn't from Disney. The COA was from Starabilia--apparently a completely different store that used to be in Orlando's Downtown Disney section.
I went online to find out more information about the company. Apparently there is controversy as to whether or not the autographed memorabilia they sold was real or fake--or both. While autographed posters are not my thing and I wasn't a huge fan of the Wonka remake (I prefer the original, although the new version had it's moments and some amazing visuals), I can't imagine the Wonka bar prop was a fake...or could it have been? The film isn't that old and probably came out while Starabilia was in business. Aside from Depp, the other signatures are for the actors who played Charlie, Grandpa Joe, and Mike Tee Vee. If they were going to forge names, why not forge Tim Burton's or Christopher Lee's...why go for two kids and an old guy you've never heard of? I'm just not sure what to think? Can they fake props easily? Hmm.
As I said, the frame is nice and it's glass in front--not plexiglass/plastic. The prop Wonka bars from this flick on eBay go for about $125 each. But are those real or fakes? Hmm. What do you think...was this a good deal, a bad deal, or an okay deal. I asked erik1925/Jeff, but have not heard back from him yet (I know he has a life and is busy...and he may not know anything about this poster / starabilia stuff). Anyone else out there know anything? Here's some pics:
Here's the poster. Depp's signature (or is it?) is on the right just above his hand. Just below his hand is a little plaque listing the four people whose signatures are supposed to be on the poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/P1020665_zpsxlbhwdta.jpg)
This is the prop Wonka bar and another little plaque stating it is a prop used in the film. The COA is on a separate certificate that is not attached to the poster.

Okay gang... that's it for tonight. Jinkies! Look at the time. It's way past pumpkin time for me. EEK! I have an early appointment tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a festive and pleasant tomorrow. Good night.
CHEERS!

Next is a foreign poster for the "Exorcist" ripoff "Beyond the Door"! This poster is in English, but is definitely NOT the U.S. one sheet. Instead of "directed by" it says "Direct by", so clearly whoever created this didn't have complete command of the English language--but very close. I actually like this movie. REALLY! I think that may be because A) it stars Juliet Mills, who so charmed me as a child in "Nanny and the Professor" and B) during the post-"Exorcist" hoopla, I remembered all of the hoopla that followed THIS movie, too. I didn't get to see "The Exorcist" until years later (1981 I think...on a double bill with "The Shining", not counting the glimpses of it at a drive in when it played on the screen behind us)...but I DID catch "Beyond the Door" on late night TV not so long after it played in theaters...so this was where I lost my possession movie virginity (oh my!). Stunning artwork on this--although it really does not go with the movie that well. Ha!

This is some very great and colorful looking art here, MAGG! Any idea what country it's from? The film was shot in Italy. And the distributor named at the top of the poster, is not one of several that imdb mentions ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071212/companycredits?ref_=ttloc_ql_5 ).
What is curious too, is that the producer and one of the co-directors (O.Hellman) are the same person. He was also one of the writers.
In any case, congrats on this one (and all the others you just listed and discussed). thumbup

Hi MAGG, I like this one quite a lot. I wish I had some 3D effect old style posters like this.
I am pretty sure EMP will provide you an unwatermarked image of any poster you win just ask them. Not sure though if there is a time limit to that.

Hi Jeff. I'm NOT sure what country it was used for. I know the film was released as "The Devil Within Her" in England, so that's not it. I am getting the poster from Peru, but that really doesn't help as South America is Spanish/Portuguese...not English.
Oliver Hellman is the anglicised version of Ovidio Assonitis, but foreign films are often Americanizing names to make them sound like American products.
This was actually an Italian/U.S. co-production. Interiors shot in Italy, exteriors shot in San Francisco and Sausalito. Producer Edward Montoro is an interesting footnote. He founded Film Ventures International--which produced and/or distributed some wonderful trash back in the 70s/early 80s up through "Great White". From wikipaedia:
In 1980, after acquiring the Italian film Great White, another movie regarded as a Jaws rip-off, Montoro was sued by Universal Pictures because it was too derivative of the Steven Spielberg-directed hit. Great White had a large advertising budget of $4 million and achieved commercial success during its first week at the theaters. Nevertheless, Universal Pictures won the lawsuit and the film was immediately pulled from theatrical release.[8]
In 1984, Film Ventures International was on the verge of collapse due to financial issues including the release failure of Great White, the poor box office performance of Montoro's final film Mutant and his pending divorce settlement. Montoro eventually took one million dollars from FVI and vanished never to be seen again. Film Ventures International officially closed its doors in 1985. To this day, Montoro's whereabouts remain unknown, though it is believed he fled to Mexico.[9]
The unusual disappearance and the collapse of FVI have further contributed to Montoro's notorious legacy.
Also, co-director (on this poster) Robert Barret is NOT on the U.S. one sheet. Instead we have Richard Barrett listed as writer. (Robert Barrett is the name of Juliet Mills' husband's character in the film). I think Robert (or Richard) Barret(t) is another alias for Hellman/Assonitis, although "he" does have his own IMDB listing with a few scattered credits.
Finally, although it's mentioned in one of the trailers, I've never seen a poster that listed the gimmick-y "Quadraphonic Possessound" sound system that was hyped (which was probably non-existent). The British release had a similar "Vibrasound" promoted (and is mentioned on the Quad) that promised you would literally "quiver with fright".
Hi MAGG, I like this one quite a lot. I wish I had some 3D effect old style posters like this.
I am pretty sure EMP will provide you an unwatermarked image of any poster you win just ask them. Not sure though if there is a time limit to that.
Hi there! Always nice to see you pop in. Yes, i LOVE the old school 3D posters with their popping-off-the-screen graphics. The new 3D movies don't even bother to promote the effect...but then the new 3D technology doesn't really pop off of the screen like the old technology did. It just adds more depth. I have a few other vintage 3D posters. Wish I had more...
As for EMP and unwatermarked pictures, I do remember seeing somewhere on the site that they would SELL (or was it LEASE???) unwatermarked images...for a price. I already paid enough for the poster...I'll just borrow an image elsewhere to illustrate it. I'm not gonna pay for an image as well. But thanks for the suggestion.
Yep--found it. Here's what it says:
You have expressed interest in leasing an ultra-high resolution digital image of one or more items (mostly movie posters) in the Hershenson/Allen Archive. If you wish to lease an image, send us an email through our contact form, and we will quickly reply to you via e-mail. When you send us the e-mail, it will automatically show the item you were just viewing. If you would like to lease additional images, please list them in the contact form including each item's film title and poster size OR paste in a list of links from the Hershenson/Allen Archive items you are wanting to lease.
CHEERS!!!

Thanks for the additional details, MAGG. From what I read, Barrett is also another alias of the director/producer, Assonitis. He was much the one man band on this film. I wouldn't be surprised if he made an appearance in it, as well, even if uncredited...LOL
Coming from Peru.. yet all the text in English (with the exception of the one typo) is curious. And i see no printer's info on the bottom borders. Can i ask.. what is written next to the one carriage wheel? Maybe the artist's name? I can't quite make it out.
Regardless, the art sure pops, has amazing detail and I think it's kick-ass! thumbsup.gif
Congrats again on the acquisition!
-
Jeff, the name near the baby carriage wheel is "Spataro". Ever heard of him/her? The artwork is nice...but, as I said, it really doesn't fit the movie. The woman's face could be Juliet Mills...but the crone on the left with the weird tendril thing hanging from her cheek...who is that? Not possessed Juliet...and not anyone else in the movie either. Oh well--it's still nice.
CHEERS!

No, I havent.. but the name certainly sounds like it could be Italian (latin). He/she did nice work. thumbsup.gif

According to emovie, the poster was printed in Italy, for English speaking audiences. But it is a country of origin poster.
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/11278874.html
And Spataro did a good number of posters. He has an often colorful style, and did posters for a number of countries aside from Italy.

Bravo Sherlock Holmes. We'll done. Now if you can help me with that Wonka item I messaged you about.... No. Kidding. The Beyond The Door mystery was enough. I am ever so impressed and thrilled to learn the origins of the poster. Thank you. Cheers!
-
Your welcome, MAGG.
Considering who the autographs are from on the WONKA poster, i suppose there is a good chance they are legit. But it would take some research, comparing to a known original, etc, to be 100% that someone(s) with a blue sharpie didnt just scrawl on that OS. Is Depp's name signed as John Depp? Hard to tell from your pic. Can u snap a close up of his sig?
And as far as the prop bar... again... it could be genuine. Im sure hundreds were made for the film. So those would be fairly easy to obtain, by someone associated with putting this kind of display poster together.
-
I believe the Wonka item is genuine.
The Depp sig looks real: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=johnny+depp+autograph&FORM=HDRSC2 (http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=johnny+depp+autograph&FORM=HDRSC2)
and I agree with you when you say "If they were going to forge names, why not forge Tim Burton's or Christopher Lee's...why go for two kids and an old guy you've never heard of? "
Plus the prop and set-up look legit (even though I have never seen one of these before).
Your question re: Berserker.
It was a direct-to-video release, on Prism I believe.
If it ever got a theatrical screening, it was probably at a small film festival or in someone's garage.
I have a VHS screener which I watched and reviewed in 1987.
I do remember that it had some moments, but overall was low-budget boring.
As for emovieposter's watermark -- if you purchase a poster from Bruce, just let them know you'd like the HQ scan for your win.
They'll then put you on a list and automatically send you the pics of your wins from that point on.
In fact, drop Bruce or Cherie a line and they can probably send you scans of your recent past purchases.
Nobody does it better'n Bruce and Co.
Great haul of posters once again, Go-Go.
Especially like Beyond the Door, which I liked so much in the theaters, that I went to see it twice.
Back in the day on the big screen with big sound, it was pretty scary.
Yes, I am a glutton for punishment.
cheers

Hey Erik1925/Jeff! Here is the "Johnny Depp autograph" (the other three names are far easier to read/make out):
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/autograph_zpspephzm8o.jpeg)
Ted/Brude---you SAW "Beyond the Door" in the theater...TWICE!?! AWESOME! Do you remember anything special about the sound system? Was it presented in "possessound" or "vibrasound" where you saw it? How marvelous!
Thanks for the tip about EMP and the scans. Golly--that would be awesome to just get them sent to me. Thank you so much.
And thank you both for stopping in.
And now--laundry calls! O' the glamorous life I lead...
CHEERS!

Howdy out there in Poster Land. Here are images of my latest poster scores! Oooooo.. Nothing to really write home about. Well, there are some things I'm excited about. Take a gander. See what you think...
Although I've never seen "Varan the Unbelievable", I love my giant monster posters (the movies themselves usually suck...monstrously!). I saw a linen copy in an antique store in Washington that I wanted desperately...except I don't like linen posters and the coloring looked off. It had been restored with a lot of lavender hues that didn't look right. I'm glad I waited because now I have a paper version in spiffy condition ...and there's not a spot of lavender in sight!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Varan%20the%20Unbelievable_zpswmkseuak.jpg)
"EARTHQUAKE!!!" When I was a kid in the '70s, the disaster era kicked into full swing. The newspaper ads for "Earthquake" not only got me about seeing the movie, the new SENSURROUND process fueled my penchant for gimmicks to the Nth degree. Zowie! While I have a copy of the US one sheet for EARTHQUAKE already (several copies, in fact) and the movie is a cheesy/campy favorite (the director, Mark Robson, was also responsible for other camp faves "Peyton Place" and "Valley of the Dolls"! Ha!), I've never seen a one sheet with anything about SENSURROUND printed on it. There has been an occasional sticker, but that's all I've encountered. This one not only mentions SENSURROUND, it also prominently features a cool matte painting that was used on the back of the soundtrack album (YES, I was an uber nerd and bought that too). This is also my very first Japanese poster (and YOU are there for the loss of my Japanese poster virginity... Oh MY!).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Earthquake%20Japanese_zpsdc8tt2vn.jpg)
"Make Them Dies Slowly"...Yep, i dig the cannibal sub-genre as well. I already have a copy of "Make Them Die Slowly"--but this one was inexpensive-ish and tri-folded, so I figured it might be in better condition. I was kind of holding out for a copy with the original title, "Cannibal Ferox", but... Maybe I'll find one of those yet.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Make%20them%20Die%20Slowly_zpsf9xy8pd5.jpg)
"The Eliminators"---doesn't that sound like people who poop for a living...or kinky enjoyment? I think I saw this low-budget thing back in the VHS days. Gotta love the motorized half man/half cyborg thing. I think that character actually had a spinoff movie of his own. I don't know--gotta dig the grindhouse sleaze.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Eliminators_zps1znaqavd.jpg)
Okay--the poster for "Linda" doesn't look like much. Crappy black & white doodle of a young woman's torso with small crabs all over it... WTF? Well, this is actually the U.S. retitling of Jess Franco's "Lorna The Exorcist" and if you know that movie, you KNOW the crab scene. EEEW! Had to have it. But...probably never display it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Linda%20aka%20Lorna%20the%20Exorcist_zpszoevht7k.jpg)
"The Boy Who Cried Werewolf"---I got this as part of a lot and I have never seen this particular film before. I think i may have a copy already...and I am certain I have it on a combo poster with "SSSSS". Kerwin "Sinbad"/"Jack the Giant Killer" Matthews is the star...is HE the werewolf? Yikes!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Boy%20Who%20Cried%20Werewolf_zpscslsgwrs.jpg)
Yes, it's another copy of the kiddie matinee import "Cinderella". I know I just got one of these not too long back---but this was too cheap to pass up. Ha! (I gotta STOP doing that...)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Cinderella%20other%20copy_zpspjxso8zr.jpg)
Speaking of fairy tales, I also picked up "Snow White and the Three Stooges" starring forgotten ice skating champion Carol Heiss (Who??). This is actually my 2nd copy of this poster. The first was completely mangled while being packaged. The seller's assistant tried to roll it to put in a tube--which was fine. But it apparently unrolled or something halfway in...so instead of re-rolling it, he just crammed the remaining parts of the poster into the roll, completely ruining the poster. I got a refund on that one--but had to replace it. I was lucky to get this one. It's my first Stooges poster (Yes, I guess you could say you've also witnessed me losing my Stooges virginity today. Oh my! What kind of poster tramp you must think me to be...one of easy virtue and easily tempted! SHOCKING!!!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Snow%20White%20and%20the%20Three%20Stooges_zpscrai5ite.jpg)
"Voyage to the End of the Universe"---I've never seen this movie (although I've read a bit about it and know it's culled from some Russian sci-fi opus mixed with other footage). I've noticed this poster being quite pricey in the past...so I was amazed when it became mine and I was not outbid on it. Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Voyage%20to%20the%20End%20of%20the%20Universe_zpslndvdzjd.jpg)
"Witchboard"--Ha! This was an okay little horror flick i saw in the theater back in the day. It was cheap. I bid...ooops! It became mine. Okay...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Witchboard_zpsljxmxdbj.jpg)
I originally saw "The Boogey Man" on a double feature with "Zombie" back in 1980 (NO, I was NOT old enough to go see that then...but that did NOT stop me!). "Zombie" was awesome---but I was also impressed with "Boogey Man" at the time as well. The sequels have all sucked--as has everything else by Ulli Lommel I've ever dared to watch. On later viewings, "The Boogey Man" hasn't held up quite as well--but it's still okay-ish. I have other copies of this poster already. This one came in a lot.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Boogey%20Man_zpsvn1oacan.jpg)
I wish I had NOT gotten this particular poster, "Terror of the Tongs"! I was unfamiliar with the movie and the poster...but was intrigued (Mostly because, I think, it stars Christopher Lee in Asian garb...and about 2 years ago I waded through his 5-movie "Fu Manchu" series). After spending a good amount of cash-o-rama to "win" this poster, it occurred to me that the pinkish splotch--announcing that the film was in Eastman Color--didn't really belong with the poster. I google searched other images and, yep...that was NOT supposed to be there. Someone must have colored that in. GRRR! Instant reject! Dang it!!!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Terror%20of%20the%20Tongs_zpshhb4vgdf.jpg)
I picked up the 20th anniversary re-release lenticular for "E.T."
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/ET%20lenticular_zpsrxowe8fm.jpg)
Double feature time---it's "The Crawling Thing (From Another World??)" and "Creature of Evil"! I had never seen this poster before when i saw it for sale. I'd never heard of those movies. I've since learned they are probably re-titlings of "Half Human" and "Monster From Green Hell"--two movies I HAVE heard of but have not seen.
Here's a cheap-o trailer for the combo which shows the poster at the end:

Another great lineup, GoGo!
I shudder to think that I've seen all of those films, except for Cinderella.
Please don't tell anybody.
We'll keep that a secret.
Especially like The Boogey Man poster.
Very effective example of a poster being so much better than the film itself.

Part 2
I don't usually buy video posters...but for some direct-to-video movies, you have no choice. I bout the poster for "Scooby Doo on Zombie Island"--the first direct-to-video feature length Scooby movie (great art on that poster...and the movie was pretty decent as well) and have been trying to get other Scooby titles as well. While I am pretty sure I already have these two--I'm not 100% sure...so...I bought them (again?) pretty cheaply ($2 each). Here are "Scooby Doo Meets the Boo Brothers" and "Scooby Doo and the Alien Invaders":
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Scooby%20Doo%20Meets%20the%20Boo%20Brothers_zpsws4rwoec.jpg)
and

The next one I have been trying to get for years--but have always been outbid on. I have never seen "Scandal Inc.", but first encountered the poster while I was working as a writer for "The Fresno Bee". I wanted to buy this poster, frame it and hang it in or near my cubicle. But, my career at the newspaper is over. I'm a nurse now. Snore... The writing gig was so much more fun, but the nursing thang helps me afford my poster addic...er, habit. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Scandal%20Inc_zpsylcjxxmm.jpg)
I have the exciting 3D version poster for "Man in the Dark" (with the rollercoaster action), but had never seen the 2D version poster for the same flick until i saw this one. HAD to have it. Completely different art. The movie is now available in 3D blu ray...and I bought it...but I need to wait until I can afford a 3D blu ray player and 3D TV to watch it. HA!! By the way, I had never heard of actress Audrey Totter until I started collecting posters...and have since seen her name a lot. I don't think I've ever actually seen a movie with her in it--but every time I see her name, I keep wishing her first name had been Tater.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Man%20in%20the%20Dark%202D_zpsfyjy6opg.jpg)
Years ago, movieposter.com (at least I THINK it was them) was a place I shopped for posters when I could afford them. It's still around and I visit occasionally--but the selection is not what it used to be and the prices have gone up. However...back in the day, the website used to feature a poster for something called "Loch Ness Horror". OOooo i sooo wanted it. I was never able to get one--and hardly ever saw them available--until now.

Part 3
Finally, here it is... "White Slaves of Chinatown"!! This is the same poster I bid on a few weeks back, won...and gave up once I discovered it was trimmed. They relisted it recently and, crazy me, just could NOT take a chance I'd never see another--so I bid, bid, bid and won it again---for about $100 cheaper than I won it before. So here it is--trimmed and all. I'm not sure how I feel about winning it this time. (And yes, the wins from emovieposter.com are the scans of the actual items withOUT the watermark!).

I hope you are all well and having a swingin' summer.

It's still around and I visit occasionally--but the selection is not what it used to be and the prices have gone up. However...back in the day, the website used to feature a poster for something called "Loch Ness Horror". OOooo i sooo wanted it. I was never able to get one--and hardly ever saw them available--until now.

I had this on my watchlist then got called away and forgot to place a bid.
Glad that it went to someone who appreciates the finer things in Grade Z monster movie posters.

Part 3
Finally, here it is... "White Slaves of Chinatown"!! This is the same poster I bid on a few weeks back, won...and gave up once I discovered it was trimmed. They relisted it recently and, crazy me, just could NOT take a chance I'd never see another--so I bid, bid, bid and won it again---for about $100 cheaper than I won it before. So here it is--trimmed and all. I'm not sure how I feel about winning it this time. (And yes, the wins from emovieposter.com are the scans of the actual items withOUT the watermark!).

That's all for today boys and girls. I am sooooo broke now. And have soooooo many expenses coming my way. EEEK! i don't know what I'll do. I may NOT be back with any updates for quite awhile. I gotta be a good little zombie wage slave and make some more moola...FAST!
I hope you are all well and having a swingin' summer.
CHEERS!
I think you made the right call, going for this one again, MAGG. It bugged you that it was trimmed.. and why not hold/keep this copy until if/when another copy shows up. That you sent it back wont keep you up at night, anymore!! ;D
Enjoy the poster... and congrats on the re-win, too.. AND for less moola!

Ted/Brude, that has been one of my biggest concerns/worries since getting on here--that someone else on here would bid on the same stuff I want. If I won, I'd annoy them greatly. I know others out there must be bidding against me (someone is--that's for sure! Ha!). I've been lucky a few times--but have I been bidding against someone I "Know" on here. I'm glad you are okay with my getting this one...I had NO IDEA you were interested. I must have snatched things away from others a time or two--and vice-versa. Maybe we should have a way to call "dibs" on things? Ha!

Thank you. I am thrilled to get it--I think. O man--it was so expensive. But I HAD to have one. You understand. And you are right. As soon as another (better) one comes my way, this one is off to the auction block again.
CHEERS!

White slaves of posterland..or whatever. Hey MAGG you saved $100 that's gotta count for something!
Cool poster, all 99% of it.

Ha Ha Ha!!! So true on the saving cash part (although I don't expect to recoup the cash when I re-sell it down the road...but that's okay!) and the 99% part had me literally giggling out loud (GOL!!!). Thanks for stopping by!

Those video posters look terrific. "Scooby Doo on Zombie Island" is a treat. Glad to know that Scooby found you ...ha! :)
-
Rosa, I am so glad you like the video posters for the Scooby movies. Scoob and I go way, WAY back. It seems like I've known him forever. I'm 50 now and Scooby is...well, I promised I'd never tell. Let's just say that, in dog years, he makes me look incredibly young in comparison. Ha!
I've been noticeably absent from the boards. Why? I'm still reeling from the blow of my recent purchase. OUCH! There was a "White Slaves of Chinatown" poster offered on the recent Profiles in History movie poster auction. It was paired with an H. G. Lewis "2000 Maniacs" poster (also on my bucket list). I bid a crazy high price---and won. Oh my... The winning bid was $500, but with tax, shipping and premium, it was close to $700. OH MY STARS!!! That knocked the wind out of my sails in a big way...
Anyway, here are the posters (the official auction scans of the actual items) and a "Godzilla Vs The Smog Monster" poster I scored rather reasonably around the same time (the photo for it that is shown is NOT the actual poster--just used for illustration). Oooooo my aching wallet.
"Godzilla Vs The Smog Monster"--this may be one of the only GODZILLA films before the (first) reboot in 1985 that I have NOT seen. But I couldn't let the poster pass by at such a reasonable (comparatively) price.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/godzilla-vs-smog-monster-movie-poster-1972-1020387340_zpsu18dqaga.jpg)
Here it is--the world's most expensive copy of the "White Slaves of Chinatown" poster! Zowie! I still feel like I was just punched in the guy. Now I'll have to sell off the trimmed version I scored on emovieposter.com. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/White%20Slaves%20of%20Chinatown_zpshyxovw0b.jpg)
Finally, here it is---H. G. Lewis' "Two Thousand Maniacs". Although I do have a few posters for his exploitation films, it's his horror titles i really collect...and there are now fewer left to go before my collection IS complete. Yippie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Two%20Thousand%20Maniacs_zpssdpulxe5.jpg)
That's it. I am uber-poor. I don't know when I'll be back. Ooooooo...I'd better recheck my interest rate on my credit cards.
CHEERS!
-
Way to go on WHITE SLAVES #2, there, MAG! All tidy, neat and untrimmed. Congrats on the win.. the dual win, that's for sure.
Now what to do with trimmed Slave #1? Will she be heading to the chopping or auction block?
The new wins all look great.

I know this is stupid on my part--especially for such a rare poster--but I am upset about all of the fold wear on the new poster (really evident on a larger version of the photo). Ha!
EEK! Look at the time. I should be in the shower already! Yikes! Running late...and I gotta make me some cash-o-rama!
Cheers!
-
Don't worry too much about the fold wear now...try to enjoy it.. see if the folds will ease up with time.. it is a nice poster!

It looks awesome. We are all white slaves of poster town.
ps. or black, brown, purple etc

Magg, it looks really good. And it was folded as issued (and maybe a previous owner folded it a little off the mark at one time). A little R&R is all it needs. And if there are any small cross splits or tiny horizontal 'spider' tears, know, too, that its all part of the poster's history; it has lived a life and is now sharing part with you, the MAGG! Again, it looks really great, and the main thing is -- you found a full, untrimmed copy that you were hoping to find, and in relatively short order.
And before you bid, did you not click on and super-size the image, so you could see the tinier details? I have a feeling you would have bid anyhow. happy1
-
Jeff, no...I did not see the image before I bid. I only saw the catalogue image (which was obscured somewhat by the 2000 Maniacs poster on top of it) in the pdf catalogue. I bid based on the description in the catalogue. It wasn't until the end of the auction and the confusion as to whether I won or not that discovered the auction was listed on ebay!
Vick, you are right. We ARE all slaves to poster town. Shocking! Shameful! Expensive!
Rosa, I'm sure you are right. In time the fold lines won't bother me as they do now...jello? I GOT it fonally. Right? Who hoo.
Cheers!

Glad to see you've found an untrimmed SLAVES poster so soon, Go-Go.

Rosa,
I'm glad you like my thread... But the humor seems to come from the others...but they ARE doing their thing on here. Yippie for me. But THANK YOU!
Vick, I don't buy "new posters". Ha! But I know what you meant...however, my poster collection compulsion does NOT know how to stop. I have a few more (ahem) new additions I'll post in a few days. Yowza! They are just too many of my "MUST HAVES" popping up of late to ignore... Is there a 12 step program for people like us? (Well, 12 steps is far too many. How about a 1 or 2 step program? 3 steps MAX!)
Cha cha cha!

I think Vick means that if you don't have new purchases to post, let's just see more from your collection.
Along with your unique commentary of course.

OOoooo crap-a-rama! I won't even begin to tell you what sort of a financial mess I got myself into today with a certain auction house's movie poster auctions closing yesterday and today (that story will come...eeek! Stay tuned!). However, while I was trying to navigate its new, updated website, I discovered all of these past purchases of mine listed. Huh? I thought I had only started using this site AFTER joining this site. And yet, there were purchases from 2010, 2011, and 2012. Some of the items I could swear I got on eBay--and this auction house does have a presence there. But I am still flabbergasted to see them there...and the prices I paid (so incredibly CHEAP, especially when compared to the fallout from the "White Slaves of Chinatown" purchases and those of the last two days...which I am still NOT ready to talk about).
So here is a look at purchases past (purchases present will be coming soon...my shock and horror have subsided a bit):
"Fort Bowie" and "Oklahoma Territory". This was a 2 poster lot. I'm no fan of westerns and have no interest in the "Oklahoma Territory" one sheet. The "Fort Bowie" one is a different matter. In fact, I remember bidding on this and being thrilled I got it. It's stored away...but until now I did NOT even realize it was called "Fort Bowie". I thought it was called "Massacre!". Yep. So enthralled was I with the artwork of the Indian...er, Native American about to scalp the blonde, my eyes never wandered down to the lower portion of the poster. Ha! This set pushed me back...$32 in 2011.

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Oklahoma%20Territory_zpsmlmopord.jpg)
Another 2 poster lot was the Steve Reeves version of "Thief of Baghdad" with Guy Williams' "Captain Sindbad" (That extra "d" has always bothered me...). ($15 in 2011)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Thief%20of%20Baghdad%20Reeves_zpsbnyxvp1d.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Captain%20Sindbad_zps3bohyzdz.jpg)
Also from 2011, William Castle's 3D western "Fort Ti"! Zowie! I'm a sucker for a gimmick. William Castle was the king of the gimmicks (and he had some great ones for his horror flicks). 3D has always been a fave--especially the way the posters were presented back in it's hey day. I have so few 3D posters from the 50s...this one set me back $15 (!!!!) just 4 years ago.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Fort%20Ti_zps4imbdijo.jpg)
Another 2011 purchase---"Face of the Screaming Werewolf. A cheap 50s horror flick with a cheap-looking poster. But only $21 ??? SALE! Anything that cheap from the 50s--snatch it up. Wow! i bought it but am amzed at how cheap it was looking back. It's incredible how prices have just skyrocketed lately!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Face%20of%20the%20Screaming%20Werewolf_zpsnpifjvxc.jpg)
I had never heard of "Fair Wind to Java" before the auction for this poster came up. OMG. The poster is in primo shape, with gorgeous artwork and colors.
$25, 2012.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Fair%20Wind%20to%20Java_zps2nn4cqug.jpg)
"The Fiction Makers" is apparently a movie version of "The Saint" starring a pre-James Bond Roger Moore. Whether this was an original movie or, like many of the "Man From U.N.C.L.E." movies, this was culled from TV episodes, I do not know. I had not seen one before and have not seen one since. A $15 from 2010.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Saint_zpsqlx2hxop.jpg)
Something that WAS made from TV episodes was "Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack". This Australian poster is for the movie (not released in the US) taken from the first few episodes following the "Battlestar Galactica" pilot (which, itself, had been whittled down and released as a feature film...in SENSURROUND, which this sequel apparently did NOT have)!. 2010 $15.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Galactica%202_zpsytxnhili.jpg)
Taken from the 1960s "Tarzan" TV series starring Ron Ely is the poster for "Tarzan's Jungle Rebellion" 2009 $10.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Tarzans%20Jungle%20Rebellion_zpsqkcrymxv.jpg)
OMG!! I have been trying to collect Tarzan posters for years. I recently got a Lex Barker (talking Tarzan @2) poster--and was thrilled. I never thought I'd have a Johnny Weismuller (talking Tarzan #1--the classic Tarzan) poster, but apparently I DO have one. It's a re-release poster of "Tarzan's Desert Mystery" purchased in 2010...for a piddly $36. WHAT!?! There is NO WAY,re-release or not, that I could touch a Weismuller Tarzan poster for that amount today.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Tarzans%20Desert%20Mystery%20R46_zpswfpfturf.jpg)
There were a few other posters that showed up as well...nothing really worth noting though (i.e.some old war movie called "Suicide Battalion" $15, "Three Bites of the Apple" $10, "Operation Conspiracy" $15, "Van Nuys Blvd" $10, killer snake movie/ "Willard" ripoff, "Stanley" etc.) and several others I won't even bother listing.

'Three Bites of the Apple' does it for me, as I do like watching 'Swinging Sixties' stuff. Better still, David McCallum wrote and sang the title track and it even mentions Playboy Magazine by name!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BflIMhs5Qc
I do feel sorry for poor old Roger Moore though. Even I could manage a better likeness than that.
-
I had never heard of "Three Bites of the Apple" before. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the music link.
LOL about Roger Moore on the Saint poster. I agree--it's not very good. Ha!
Cheers! Thanks for visiting.

This is great, Go-Go.
I lived in Ticonderoga for 10 years, had my first child there, and still visit friends there often.
As a matter of fact, I just showed this poster to my son and he scolded me for not having one for him.
Fort Ti is one of the greatest forts of its time.
http://www.fortticonderoga.org/ (http://www.fortticonderoga.org/)
Here's an infamous Ticonderoga joke.
A girl from the city fell in love with a young Ticonderogan lad.
One day they decided to go skinny dipping in the Lake.
While disrobing, she noticed a tattoo on his member.
"How cute," she said (noticeably disappointed), "'It spells TINY."
He responded, "No it doesn't. If you play with it a bit, you'll see it reads, 'TICONDEROGA, NY.'
And they lived happily ever after.

-
Hi there. I've heard a variation on the "tiny" joke before--same punchline though.
It never occurred to me that "Fort Ti" might be a real place. Ha! It's in New York?????? That's not much of a western for you. Ha! I'm thrilled to have the vintage 3D poster...and for only $15. No way you'd get it for that today. Posters have gotten crazy high in the last few years.
Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers!

I love the Tarzan poster!! The rendition of Tarzan on the top right is glorious. In the bushes...he looks like he is about to.. :P ...well dunno. I find it amusing. I just love that poster!!!!!

Why do you think Tarzan swings from vines...to avoid stepping in things! Oh my! Ha! Great observation Rosa!

Just a quickie... (Gotta get ready for work). Here are some recent acquisitions -- just 10 -- that aren't that exciting, but whatever. Here they are:
A British one sheet for "The Sphinx".
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/english_1sh_sphinx_dupe1_BM04252_C_zpsnz8u4wfz.jpg)
Not that I saw it or have any interest in it (and no idea what I was thinking when I bought them), but here are two different posters for "Tron Legacy":
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/tron_legacy_advance_intl_SG00072_C_zps4syz9m6i.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/tron_legacy_advance_dupe1_SG00072_C%201_zpsh0uppw4c.jpg)
The recent horror flick (that's not very good) "The Gallows" was filmed entirely around Fresno and the surrounding area. The directors have been promoting it at a local theater since it came out. Yesterday I was at that theater seeing another bad horror flick ("Vatican Tapes"--blah), and when I exited, there were the directors, sitting at a table in front of the actual gallows set piece in the lobby, autographing mini-posters. The film is just about done--it only plays one showing a day at that theater, at 10pm, yet they were there promoting it until it is completely gone. (Don't they have anything else to do?). Anyway, here is my signed mini-poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gallows%20mini%20director%20autographed%20free_zpsuqo6axfx.jpg)
"Adam & Eve: The First Love Story"...Oh my stars! I actually saw this movie. (I was suckered into seeing it under the title "Adam and Eve Vs The Cannibals"! Ha!). It was jaw-droppingly bizarre-O! It was ridiculous---a fake killer bear, blue people, killer pterydactyls, cannibals (for about 5 minutes--that's all!) etc. Hilarious! Not wild about the poster--it's not the cover art for the video--but those are the actors. Guys may note that Eve is showing, uh... her "forbidden fruit". Ladies may take note that Adam may be wearing a loin cloth because he may be too excited to safely fit in a fig leaf. Not a great poster, but had to get something on that doofy, goofy flick.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/italian_1p_adam_and_eve_the_first_love_story_SD02694_C_zpskuxmji2y.jpg)
I'm outta time. I'll get the rest later (there are more than 10 new ones, but I was trying to be brief and squeeze those 10 in before work).
More later...
CHEERS!

What a good, fun collection you have. That Adamo is certainly quite "something".. :) :D
-
Hello Brude/Ted and Rosa. Thanks for visiting. I'm in LA at the moment and on my phone (which I hate responding on). Glad you like Adama, Rosa. According to the movie, he was born out of a giant cocoon . (Eva was created out of a sand sculpture of a naked woman that Adama made (and he put a lot of detail in the bobs and other areas, which was amazing since he had never seen a woman before.) They are kicked out of the Garden of Eden Indiana Jones style (chased by a hilarious giant boulder rolling after them) and end up in a wasteland and are attacked by pterydactls, which they kill and fashion their first clothing with (since there are no longer convenient bushes and trees to block views of certain body parts, of course). Then they go on and inexplicably meet lots of other people, blah blah blah. Wonderfully awful/strange/hilarious movie.
Cheers!

I'm back to finish/expand on the post I started a while back. I've been on a vacation I could NOT afford, but...
Speaking of things I can not afford, although I'm still NOT ready to talk about what I bought yet (What the hell was i thinking?), I will say that I am now in such a financial hole i don't even preview auctions any more. They are just too tempting. All of the emails I get about auctions I ignore. I don't dare look or I'll try to buy-buy-BUY more...which i can NOT do. Jeepers!
Anyway, here are some more of the things I was going to share last time...
RED RIDING HOOD: I hated this flick when I saw it in the theaters. It had so much potential, but it missed the mark, I felt. Why do I have the poster? It (and several other things in today's posting) came in lots I got fairly cheaply. whoopie do.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/red_riding_hood_WC00865_C_zpsoersnbf9.jpg)
RETURN TO NEVERLAND: I also saw this in the theater--don't remember a thing about it. Bland poster, but again, part of a cheap lot.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/return_to_neverland_WC00925_C_zpseotadrll.jpg)
The recent 3D "Three Musketeers" was a flop-a-roo. I saw it just before it died off entirely (in 2D, alas...). Oddly enough, I liked it. Yes it was mindless, but it was also fun. The poster is worth nothing, but it was also part of the lot...which is probably why I bid anything for it at all.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/three_musketeers_WC00865_C_zpsoimz3aby.jpg)
RAMPAGE: Is this based on the Night Stalker serial killer? I'm not sure what this movie is. It's William Friedkin, but I don't think I've heard of it before. It was in a lot. Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/rampage_WC00859_C_zpsvby8ebuw.jpg)
FUTURE FORCE: I have no idea... LOT poster. Next...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/future_force_WC00859_C_zpsdt8z2obg.jpg)
I've two posters for Disney's non-classic animated flop "ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE" (more trash from the bargain basement lot-o-rama I won):
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/atlantis_the_lost_empire_WC00865_C_zpsfjuu8g0t.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/atlantis_the_lost_empire_WC00925_C_zpsybtivtez.jpg)
I also got the one sheet for Dario Argento's "FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET". It's one of his giallos, right? I've never seen it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Four%20Flies%20on%20Grey%20Velvet_zpshq2vmyvv.jpg)
ARENA: Another lot poster---looks like cheesy crap-a-rama!

Although I already have one, I also scored another copy of John Carpenter's "PRINCE OF DARKNESS" one sheet. WHY? I have no idea. I didn';t even like the movie...

That's enough for this post. I hate to post more than 10 posters per post. But I have a lot more junk...er, stuff to share.
CHEERS!
-
Not everything I got recently was from a lot that no one else wanted. For this post of 10 posters we'll play a game--"LOT or NOT". I'll post a picture, ta;l about it a little bit and let you guess--was this something I got in a LOT ("LOT") or was this something I bought intentionally ("NOT"). Put on your thinking caps (but really, this will be easier than you think...):
Poster 1: FRAILTY: I dislike Bill Paxton (Ugh...).He is one of my least favorite "actors" (is that what he's doing? "Acting"?). But Matthew McConaughey is intriguing sometimes. I dig horror flicks and the art caught my eye when this first came out. I won't say what I thought of the film (since this is the LOT or NOT game), but I did rush out and see it when it debuted.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/frailty_WC00925_C_zpsisac313u.jpg)
Poster 2: FEAR DOT COM: I like Stephen Dorff (even I find that odd. Ha!). I'm a big horror fan. However, when this came out I completely missed seeing it. It was only on home video that I finally caught it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/fear_dot_com_WC00865_C_zpsp7go7k22.jpg)
Poster 3: "BEWARE THE BLOB": I am certain I already have this one sheet (my other copy has a tear in it) and also the one sheet for it's alternate title, "SON OF BLOB". While not the best sequel ever, Larry Hagman's feature film directorial debut is still a blob film. I will probably never get a one sheet for the original "BLOB" so these will have to do.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Beware%20the%20Blob_zpsvgfvbjqx.jpg)
Poster 4: "THE FINAL CONFLICT": I like horror flicks (how many times have I said that already?). The "OMEN" series is a classic (although each film gets weaker/sillier as the series progresses--but the first was awesome! The remake was totally unnecessary) and I am strangely looking forward to the upcoming DAMIEN TV series based on the movies/books. Although this, the third entry, was rather sedate (and don't even get me started on the TV movie 4th entry--UGH!), I do have it in my DVD collection and have seen it several times.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/final_conflict_WC00859_C_zpsp8atpbt0.jpg)
Poster 5: SOMETHING WILD: I remember this coming out and the talk that it was going to be a cult movie. I saw it (a couple of times) and don't think it was all that interesting. It could have been better...and the talk of it becoming a cult film may have been to booster its box office or explain its lack of box office. Still the poster is kind of charming.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/something_wild_WC00859_C_zpss8mbcg4x.jpg)
Poster 6: MAGIC MIKE XL: I didn't see this and probably won't see this. Is it even still playing? Ha! Whatever. This is a sequel, right? I'm guessing the XL stands for "extra large" and is not the Roman numeral 40. If there were 40 "Magic Mike" movies, I've really fallen off of the planet.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Magic%20Mike%20XXL%20adv_zps4dpofivc.jpg)
Poster 7: FLUBBER: I confess I never saw FLUBBER (although I did see the ABSENT-MINDED PROFESSOR and SON OF FLUBBER that its based on). But this is a poster for the late, great Robin Williams. He was a genius (at times. Other times he was just...annoying. And I hated, hated, HATED "Awakenings"!). There won't be any more Williams posters coming around...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/flubber_WC00925_C_zps2khocmjn.jpg)
Poster 8: PRISON: I'm not sure if I ever saw this film or not, but I don't think I've ever seen the poster before. I dig the skull imagery combined with prison motifs. I just wish they had take the title and integrated it mnore, possibly as "teeth" in the skull instead of just being there below the skull. Oh well. No one asked me.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/prison_WC00859_C_zpsymksus6r.jpg)
Poster 9: THE FOURTH KIND--the ultimate exploitation flick (that did not take off). This film tries to one up the found footage genre. By mixing allegedly real "found footage" of an alien invasion of a family with dramatic recreations of said footage. But both the real footage and recreation footage are BOTH fake. And neither are that compelling. Oh well.It was a nice idea--and there were a few lame brains out there who actually believed it. Bravo! Just wish it had been better...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/fourth_kind_WC00865_C_zpsneinafs7.jpg)
Poster 10: THE GRINCH: This is the live version of the animated TV classic starring Jim Carrey and about four times as long as the cartoon version. It was an interesting experiment and I thought it was very good when I first saw it...but it's lost a lot of its charm (for me) since then...even though I have some authentic production-used Grinch mail and the regular one sheet (I think). The advance does have a bit of style about it though... Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/grinch_WC00925_C_zpst2xrwhjw.jpg)
Okay kiddies. Have you figured out which were from a LOT and which were NOT? Let's see...
Poster 1: LOT. (I didn't like the flick, plain and simple)
Poster 2: LOT (I really didn't like the movie. Ha!)
Poster 3: NOT (Yes, even though i already had a copy, I had a good deal on this one and bought it. Hoipefully it's in better shape than the one I already have.)
Poster 4: LOT (I already have THE FINAL CONLICT one sheet.)
Poster 5: LOT (I really didn't like the movie...)
Poster 6: NOT (It was cheap--beefcake and cheesecake posters tend to be worth more 10 years or so down the road. At least that's been my experience. I hope this follows that trend and doesn't tank because of the over saturation of the poster. Hmm.)
Poster 7: LOT (Really? FLUBBER? Ha ha ha ha ha!)
Poster 8: LOT (I do like the poster though and it was probably one of the factors I bid on this lot to begin with)
Poster 9: LOT (Crappy flick...)
Poster 10: LOT (I kind of like the simple Santa-suited Grinch hand holding the broken ornament, but it was in the lot)
How did you do? Anyone get 100%? (Oh really, it was not that hard...and all of the ones from the lot were kind of rolled. Easy peasy!)
I'm in a grumpy mood. Never mind. More posters to share--including those I dread talking about,
Stay tuned.
-
I'm back...with everything else I'll have for a long, long, l-o-n-g time, with the exception of the three I still can't talk about yet.
First off...something I have no idea why I bought it (and I certainly have no memory of even buying it...but it's here), THE SPECTRE OF EDGAR ALLAN POE. I know NOTHING about this movie and the poster make it look like low budget crap. Oh well. (And yes, I am still in a grumpy mood...)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/spectre_of_edgar_allan_poe_SD01936_C_zpshs8yttmz.jpg)
Finally mine--after a zillion years of hunting for one--is William Castle's gimmick-a-go-go flick-a-rama classic, "THE TINGLER"! Hot diggity. I have ALL of Castle's horror one sheets now...with the exception of one (that is beyond expensive and I'll never own it). That is okay--at least I got this one. Yippie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Tingler_zps11kppbjy.jpg)
HERCULES AGAINST THE BARBARIANS is not a good flick. Hmm. However, I will try to snag any old HERCULES title that comes my way. Overall, I dig those old, cheesy flicks (the ones involving magic and or monsters are the best/worst. The others, like this one, tend to be dull...). I am glad I got it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/hercules_against_the_barbarian_SD01632_T_zpsavyeiayt.jpg)
Dario Argento's OPERA. This is the Italian poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Opera%20Italian_zpshpo73yda.jpg)
Another MAGIC MIKE 2 poster...this is an advance. Ha! i got this for $2. Before the film came out they were $15 or $20. Trash now, but in a few years...(hopefully).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Magic%20Mike%20XXL%20adv%20Channing_zpswu5o7gwu.jpg)
Didn't I just buy one of these not too long ago? UGH! It's ANOTHER copy of the great western/horror double feature, BILLY THE KID VS DRACULA and JESSE JAMES MEETS FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER! Hopefully this is a better copy than the one I already have...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Billy%20the%20kid%20dracula%20Jessee%20James%20Frankensteins%20daughter_zpskp5fc7fa.jpg)
The final one for tonight (leaving just three more that I'm still NOT ready to discuss for another time) is the Italian poster for the "JAWS" ripoff, "BARRACUDA"---which is slightly more interesting than the US one sheet.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Barracuda%20Italian_zpsa2ecky8f.jpg)
Okay--go back and do something more interesting than look at my pathetic posters. UGH! i am in such a dumpy mood...
Cha-cha-cha!
-
Always a treat seeing your new posters and reading your commentary.
Glad you snagged The Tingler!
cheers
-
I'm glad I snagged THE TINGLER as well. That's about it in the current batch(es). Nothing else worthwhile really... Ho hum. But thanks for checking in.
CHEERS!
-
Also like (amongst others) OPERA and PRISON.
I also have a copy of PRISON, but mine (like others I've seen) has a white border.
Like these:
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/film_title/PRISON%2520%2528%252788%2529/country/U.S./archive.html (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/film_title/PRISON%2520%2528%252788%2529/country/U.S./archive.html)
Yours is the first full-bleed copy I've seen.
I don't doubt its authenticity, especially since it appears machine-folded. Probably just a different print run.
I haven't seen PRISON in years, but I did like it a lot.
cheers
-
Good fun this place as always.
Cheer up MAGG! Ironically the best medecine for the wallet blues is... buying a poster!
-
Hi Brude,
Thanks for the info on the PRISON poster. Interesting. I had never seen the poster,so had no idea there were variants to it (border vs none). Mine was actually from a lot from emovieposter, so i don't doubt its authenticity either. There were other posters I got in those lots I did NOT even bother sharing. Most of those in the lot(s?) were lackluster as it is--but the others I got, complete and total coma-inducing snore-a-rama!
Crazy Vick!
How are you? I'm in a poopy mood for more than just my poster/financial woes. And no, buying a poster is NOT an option. It really, REALLY isn't. I probably will not buy for a long, LONG time. I know I said that before...but that was after a big expense/burn. That last auction (I haven't talked about yet) caused even more of a financial fiasco for me...WORSE than the WHITE SLAVES thing and I really have learned my lesson. I don't even read my auction emails anymore or peruse eBay...too dangerous. Just say no...at least until I can tread water again.
CHEERS!
-
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Barracuda%20Italian_zpsa2ecky8f.jpg)
Nice. cool1
-
Sooooo what the heck are the three mystery posters? Spill the beans spill em! :)
-
Hi Neo. I'm glad you like the BARRACUDA poster. I did too when I first bought...but am now second guessing myself about it. I already have the US one sheet, and while the Italian art is a tad more interesting than the US poster, it's not THAT interesting/different. It's nice but I did not need it. Hmm.
-
Jedgerley, I almost missed your note. Sorry. I'm not at home now so I'll have to delay posting about those 3 posters. They're not a big deal...nothing you haven't seen before. One I really wanted (it was at the top of my bucket list, or as I really call it, my Possible Dreams list, meaning that they are not out of my price range entirely unlike my IMPOSSIBLE DREAMS list which would be original release DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN, etc. No way I'll ever afford those...).
-
(Continued) Dang I hate posting from my phone...ugh. Anyway the one was from my "Possible Dreams" list. I wanted it badly, but not for the price I got it at. The 2nd one was also super high and I don't know why I bought it....not that high on my list. Certainly not as high as I paid for it. In my auction panic I also bought another pricey (but not as much as the other two) poster that I had JUST PURCHASED days earlier elsewhere. WTF? Ugh. The costs of those 3...2 of which I didn't really want or need...not only killed me financially but also stopped me from getting other posters in the auction that I would have much rather had. Dang it all... Stay tuned. I'll share in a while. Cheers!
-
Sorry to hear your auction woes, Go-Go.
Maybe its time to to start selling off duplicates and undesirables?
That way you refine your collection and give yourself some breathing room.
cheers
-
Yes. That is a good idea. However, I am not in a house again yet. Everything I own is still crammed into a tiny space. I don't even know where all of my posters are or what exactly I have. But I have other junk, er... objects d'art I need to get rid of. It will happen...I just need to find the time. Thanks. Cheers!
-
Okay...I don't know what the hell I've been stalling for, but here is the story of those last three posters...that has stopped me COLD from bidding (or even looking) on other posters.
(To skip the sob story, skip down to the row of these: ******)
I have been struggling to pay off financial aid loans and credit card debt I accrued while going to nursing school and not working (I had been a writer for the newspaper, but they would not let me work part time. I couldn't handle full time and school so...). The student loans are slowly, slowly shrinking. The credit card debt I actually was able to pay off a big chunk of when I refinanced one of my houses last November.
Once I joined the forum (last January), I learned about a few other options out there of where to acquire posters and was feeling a bit more confidant financially. I started buying some of the things I had only dreamed about before, but still kept buying the smaller things as well. More than once I found myself having to charge my orders when I'd get carried away. A little here, a little there. Other expenses came up--trips (New Orleans for my 50th birthday in April, Maui coming up at the end of September, and I just had a back-to-back trip to Los Angeles and the Bay Area). Flights, hotels, and car rental had to be paid for. All charged. And then one of my houses became vacant (and is still vacant while I clean/fix it up), requiring me to somehow pay the mortgage on it. Yikes!
Then came the whole pursuit of the original OLGA film, WHITE SLAVES OF CHINATOWN. I had to have it. I spent hundreds ($302) on one trimmed copy...and then, at another auction, got an untrimmed one (along with HG Lewis's 2000 MANIACS one sheet--not in the best condition) for a grand total of $705 (that's with buyer's premium, tax, shipping and the credit card fee, and whatever else was tacked on). I had already been spending some bigger dollars than I am used to spending on other posters here and there...but the $705 was staggering to me. I was gonna NOT buy anything else...but did anyway, especially when I saw the big summer auction at Heritage. Oh my stars! There were so many, many things I wanted/needed that were on my "Possible Dreams" list, including the poster that was at the very top of the list, the 1956 re-release of "King Kong". There were several other posters in my top ten list as well. I was beyond excited, but already panicked about my re-escalating debt.
The '56 "King Kong" was my ultimate prize and I focused on that most of all. Sure, I'd prefer a 1933 original; release one sheet, but that will never happen. The '56 was the re-release poster I liked 2nd best. The art had been used before, but the coloring of the '56 version interested me more than the other versions. I had seen one a few years earlier on eBay that was priced about $200 and it languished there for weeks--no takers. O' if only I had had the money back then... But I was determined to get this one.
And I did---spending way,way, WAY TOO MUCH money in the process. Oh crap-a-rama! With buyer's premium, I paid $956 for it. WTF!?! It killed me to pay that much for it, especially when I remembered seeing it for only $200 not that long ago.
Anyway, that stressful/fierce bidding competition for KONG rattled me. I was totally unhinged by it. I was NOT letting KONG get away from me and the next thing that had been on my long list of posters to buy was also not going to get away from me...which is how I paid (with BP) a staggering $836 for Doris Wishman's "NUDE ON THE MOON". Holy F&#@!!!
I was punched in the gut after that. Most of the other things I wanted--things from my top ten--were scheduled for the 2nd day of auction. NUDE ON THE MOON had NOT been one of those. NOTM would normally have been something I'd have let pass by...but I did not have my wits about me after the KONG war. UGH! And with nearly $2000 (!!) already spent, I wasn't going to be able to buy anything the next day probably. Why, o' why had I bought NOTM? Waaaagh!
The next day came and I tried to have a level head. As soon as the bidding started and something I hadn't had on the list of things I was going to bid on (I'll tell you why it wasn't on my list in a moment) came up, I freaked out and went into bidding frenzy again--and got it. It was THE GREEN SLIME for $167.30 (with BP). Only after I won--actually, during the bidding phase when I was the high bidder, did it occur to me that the reason it was not on my written list to bid on was because I had just won one less than a week earlier! D'oh! And the auction clock counted down, no one had any last bids against me,and it was mine. ARGH!
Other things I really wanted (including that poster that had been No. 2 on my Possible Dream list) came up. I bid, but had to stop...I was usually the 2nd place bidder on a lot of those posters---but I just had to let them go, one by one... UGH! All because I made two stupid purchases and spent way too much for the third. DANG!
The invoice was $2151.08....eeek! The highest invoice before that had been in May, for $1,019.19...but I had won 7 posters (instead of 3) then, including some real beauties. But I was now truly, TRULY maxed out. In fact, while I was in Los Angeles (on a trip scheduled/paid for before my house became vacant and before the big auction) I realized I needed a few hundred bucks in CASH for an event I was going to...and I had completely forgotten to get some before leaving. Not having any reserves to pull from in my regular account, I thought I'd try to get a cash advance from one of my credit cards. I went to the bank the card was issued from, but didn't know my pin number since I never get cash advances. They called and the people at the credit card line said i was okay to get the money out--but for whatever reason, the transaction kept getting declined...even with the credit card people still on the phone line talking to the bank people. My only option was to open an account there and get a personal loan...the minimum loan offered was $2000 at a crazy interest rate---but I had no choice. UGH!
I can laugh about the loan now--but at the time I was just soooooo upset with myself for allowing myself to get so poster crazy and charging up all the debt I had gotten OFF of my cards. Dang! I realize the money I spent on those posters may not be a big deal to some of you out there--but to me, it was a fortune. KONG is now the most expensive poster I've ever purchased with NUDES ON THE MOON in 2nd place. The previous most expensive had been an original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD a few years ago for $650 or so. Even THAT was a fortune to me. OUCH! I have NO ONE to blame but myself...
******
Anyway, here are the 3 posters that did me in...

I don't know when I'll even THINK about looking at posters to buy again... Groan...
CHEERS!
-
Ugh.
I can feel your pain.
Every day we are inundated with auction ads, watch-list alerts and internet images of items that we MUST have.
Once connected, we are like kids in a candy shop.
I'm sure that I'm not alone when I say that a week doesn't pass when the temptation to blow the budget is almost unbearable.
But restraint and patience always seems to pay off.
Just when we seem to give up on certain items that are just too expensive, wham! -- one appears within our budget.
But if temptation starts winning, refer to Kenny Rogers.
;D

I wish he had taken his own advice when it came to plastic surgery. :-)
I'm outta the game for a while. I was just sitting here paying bills. Yikes! It's NOT fun. I only owe $46,309 on my student loans. Ha. (oh boy...) My credit cards? Let's not even go there...
It's gonna be a long while until I'm back in the poster game. But that's okay.
CHEERS!
-
Thanks for sharing. I knew you had a gaping wound already from your White Slaves adventure but now I get the whole cold turkey thing. Its a good plan. God i hate Heritage, and buyer's premiums, and taxes, and shipping charages and brokerage fees, etc.
For what its worth those are fantastic posters and that KING KONG is AWESOME. Maybe what you need is to open a tube or unwrap some frames and get reacquainted with some old friends... that always helps me.
Of course there's always Maui coming up in September... ;)
-
Congratulations MAGG! I've been wishing to get a nude on the moon into my collection for quite a while now. Also the US green slime... The tentacle is a bit more risquè than in the Italian version which I would have preferred normally. The Kong looks great too... You are really getting some great stuff now, some very desirable pieces thumbsup.gif. I reckon a few highly desirable ones are better than heaps of undesirables, good on ya.
-
MAGG, love the '56 KING KONG poster. Certainly a great looking piece for such an iconic film!
Congrats on all 3, too. You are on a roll, that's for sure!!
thumbsup.gif
-
I wish he had taken his own advice when it came to plastic surgery. :-)
HAHA!
You have a fantastic trio, wonderful posters. This hobby can eat your money away, but boy, it also gives you some of the best posters out there. I am craving a Kong too, very happy you´ve found yours.
Enjoy it!!!!
-
Oh my stars! Lots of callers came to visit.
Vick! Hi there. Instead of opening boxes or tubes and looking at "old friends", I need to have a HOUSE with WALLS again so i can hang them up and enjoy them. Someday... Maui will be fun. I'm a tag-a-long on this trip. I paid airfare for myself and a friend and will need to pitch in for food, drinks, etc., but the condo they are renting is NOT going to be my responsibility. Thank goodness. I just can NOT afford this trip...but have the tickets and I may never get another chance to go to Maui (this is my first time...). I'm looking forward to it, but not really. Iam just sooooo stressed about money right now to even think of anything else.
50s/Steve Thanks for the comments on my posters. KONG was really all I needed out of the trio (I wanted NUDE ON THE MOON, but not at that price. Yowza!). Glad you like them.
Jeff/erik1925. Are you back? I hope you had a nice trip (or are STILL having a nice trip). Me, on a roll? Possibly, but it has come to a screeching halt. Glad you like the costly trio as well.
Rosa, good luck with your KONG hunt...and may yours be not nearly as expensive (and in better shape. I think mine was graded too high, honestly. It's still nice though, but...).
Finally, as I was going through mail yesterday (I had it held while I was on my trip. It all arrived yesterday), I opened a box of posters that I had completely forgotten about (so dazed was I by the fallout from the Heritage auctions...). The day of the Heritage auctions, another poster auction was closing. I had put in some snipes for things and promptly forgotten about them. I "won" 3 of them--and apparently paid for them as well--but have zero memory of it all. Ha! Anyway--here are the three bonus posters I had forgotten I had won. Again, these are NOT "new" posters since the Heritage fiasco. These are same day auctions I bid on before Heritage wiped me out. Enjoy or don't. Cheers...
The least exciting is "The Tinder Box"--a kiddie matinee poster from Childhood Productions (my favorite kiddie matinee company. They had the best posters) presented in Storybook Color! I probably already had this poster, but wasn't sure.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Tinderbox_zpscmlqhu8o.jpg)
Next,oh my stars...it's another vintage 1950s 3D poster! This one is INFERNO (which was recently released on 3D blu ray. I bought a copy, but don't have a 3D blu ray player or a 3D tv yet. Ha!). The poster is not in as good of shape as the photo would have you believe, but it's still presentable and I am thrilled. I have so few 3D posters from the 50s.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Inferno%203D_zpsxektnzve.jpg)
The last is the ecological horror flick "FROGS" from the early 70s (starring Ray Milland and a very young Sam Elliot and Joan Van Ark). There are no giant frogs in the movie, but you gotta dig the frog with the arm hanging out of its mouth. Zowie! I've wanted a "FROGS" for years. Apparently the Heritage auction diverted everyone away from this auction and "FROGS" (and the other two) became mine.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Frogs_zpsswv1hfhs.jpg)
And that's it. NOTHING else to share now...and probably nothing else to share for a long, LONG time to come.
I'll see you all around.
CHEERS!
-
Three damn fine posters there, Go-Go.
Especially that INFERNO.
I too have a soft spot for 3D advertising and that is a super-cool poster.
And, FROGS is rivet-ing. (pun intended.)

Brude/Ted, hi there! I'm glad you like my posters. I'm happy-ish with them (but the sting from the others kind of clouds the joy of having them). It is amazing though how much I paid for the Heritage three ...and how little (comparatively) I paid for these forgotten three.
Oh well. I'll be saving my pennies now--to pay off loads and loads of debt.
I'll be back in the game eventually though. :-)
Have a groovy day!
CHEERS!

Is it just me, or is that lizard blighter in 'Arena' wearing a monocle? If they keep giving them out like this, I'm going to have to stop wearing mine!
-
What can I say? They all want to be you, or as close to being like you as possible, Monocle. But then, who doesn't want to be like you? Great eye, by the way...but then, it is monocled. Ha. Cheers!

This is one of the four posters that stole my childhood innocence and dragged me kicking and screaming into this sordid hobby.
Well done.

The poster roll continues, for sure!!

The Lumière's brothers - A train arrives,teaser.
Very funny/clever, Stew! Thanks for visiting...and the laugh. (By the way, I'd love the teaser for that film as well. Ha! Probably worth some $$$)

WOW! Who wouldn't be swayed into a life of poster corruption and addiction with posters like those!? What a lucky lad you were to get those (especially since they're worth a small fortune now)!
Further nice adds, there, MAGG!
The poster roll continues, for sure!!
;D
Jeff, as I said before. The roll came to a screeching halt the day I "O.D.ed" on the big Heritage summer auction. I'm out of the running for a long while to come... I have not bought a poster since then (SHOCKING, I know...).
-
surprised I haven't commented yet, but better late than never.
Good stuff, I like your style.
-
Ari, I could have sworn you had visited/left comments on here as well. I looked through the pages. Nope. Perhaps I was thinking of my introduction page? Anyway, no worries. Better late than never and my stuff isn't to everyone's taste. But I do appreciate your stopping by and saying hello.
And now to get ready for work again...ugh!
CHEERS!

Rosa, good luck with your KONG hunt...and may yours be not nearly as expensive (and in better shape. I think mine was graded too high, honestly. It's still nice though, ..).
Hi Shawn, and yes, I am going to need all the luck to find my KK. Not sure how you found yours (what made you go for that version- it is a fab poster!!!). It has been quite a search to find ''my'' Kong poster. The one that most speaks to me. I had several options, after a long search I finally know now for sure which one I want and will go for. Watch this space! :P ;) :)
In the meantime, I will just admire yours..! :)
-
OOoooo... I am super duper excited for you. Fingers and toes crossed that you get it.
How did I decide which KONG was right for me? I just looked at what was out there and what was available. The versions from 1933 were out of my league. There were some foreign ones (there are some Italian re-releases that are gorgeous). Back in the day, when foreign posters were a dime a dozen, I had a chance at getting them. Stupidly at the time I was sticking with just US posters --they'd all fit the standard frame size-- so i passed. Now that I've come to my senses and changed my tune about foreign posters, those are sky high. The 1956 art had been used before, but the coloration on the 56 poster really worked. It seemed the most "authentic" of all of them out, aside from the 1933 originals--if that makes any sense. Now that I have it though, I am ever so anxious to see how YOUR quest goes and which one you eventually end up with. GOOD LUCK!!!
-
You got a great poster, MAGG. You knew what you wanted, you went for it, and now it's yours. CONGRATS. Good things come to those that are deserving.
Again, your KONG is a great poster. Happy that you snagged it!

Thank you, Jeff. I am pleased you dig my purchase.
UGH. It has been 2 weeks plus) since i purchased a poster...or even contemplated buying one. I'm having withdrawals, but I just can NOT afford to buy anything. Period.
So, what I thought I would do---to kind of feel somewhat in the loop still---is repost those posters I bought since the beginning of 2015 that are on that other website (which I've now abandoned) that I got BEFORE joining allposter...
ARGH! It will have to wait. For some reason Photobucket is NOT uploading my images today. GRRR.
Stay tuned. I'll try it again later.

I love the stuff you have been sharing, a lot of stuff I wouldn't mind having thumbsup.gif .
BTW Photobucket wouldn't cooperate with me earlier either.......
-
OOoo! Hey Gingerman--I got Photobucket to work (what was up with that glitch? Grr.). Try it now!!! Also thanks for visiting my page. i'm glad you like some of my stuff. i dig yours as well.
Let me try this again...
Okay, these are NOT "new" posters. These are posters I already own. I am just trying to move all of the images from the one page I had on that other website I started to this one. These are all things I bought in 2015, but before I joined allposterforum. Here we go--first batch:
First, I am most thrilled with this poster acquisition from earlier this year---and it is 78 years old! It's Universal's "The Man Who Cried Wolf"! In 1937, Universal already had "Dracula" (1931), "Frankenstein" (1931), "The Mummy" (1932) and "The Invisible Man" (1933) under its belt. "The Wolfman" wouldn't show up until 1941, but it was still a time when the studio, which was doing very well with horror thrillers (and their sequels), was at its peak. "The Man Who Cried Wolf" is a lesser mystery/thriller (but hello? Do you think I'll ever be able to afford one of the better known film's posters? NOT!). It's just beautiful! Look at the colors and that cool old-style lettering of the title. I just love this and am so lucky to get it!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Man%20Who%20Cried%20Wolf_zpsbybdikxp.jpg)
Speaking of Universal, at the beginning of the year I also got the re-release poster for "The Invisible Woman". It's not much of a poster--the folds are a bit rough and there is staining in the left border (something I'd usually avoid buying, but this title at the price I got it at...I turned a blind eye to the problem)---but it IS for a film in the classic Universal "Invisible" series.
Realart was the company that re-released all of the old Universal horror flicks from the late 40s through the 60s. The posters for the Realart releases, while cheaper than the original posters from the original releases, are still very expensive (usually in the thousands for top titles). This title is not a top title--and, as I said, the art work isn't the best. But... I couldn't let it slip by!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Invisible%20Woman_zpsworuapm9.jpg)
A far-cry from the Universal epics of yesteryear, "The Amazing Transplant" is an "adults only" (Gasp! There was--NUDITY in it. Oh my STARS!) late 60s piece o' trash by cult filmmaker Doris ("Nudes on the Moon", "Bad Girls Go To Hell", "Deadly Weapons" ) Wishman. If you've never seen a Wishman movie, you have no idea how deliriously awful-yet-wonderful they can be! "Amazing Transplant" was my introduction to Wishman's work and, as crappy bad as it is, i love it! See the camera focus on lamps, ashtrays, paintings---anything but the actors. Why? Because all of her dialogue is looped in AFTERWARDS. By not showing the actors when they are speaking, it makes it easier to dub the voices in later. How this trash was ever released is beyond me. However,I am floored to have finally gotten a copy of this rare poster!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Amazing%20Transplant_zpsibpw74dk.jpg)
If you have ever flipped through the pages of my collection thread (instead of skipping right to the most recent entries), you'll have noted that I love the old sword & sandal/peplum movies of the 50s/60s, especially the ones that featured monsters or magic. I refer to them simply as "Hercules movies"--even though the character Hercules was only in a handful of them. Hercules is nowhere to be seen in "Atlas", B-movie legend Roger Corman's entry into the muscle man movie craze of the period. Michael Forest, who played "Atlas" also played Greek god Apollo in an original Star Trek episode.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Atlas_zpscceblkfz.jpg)
H.G. Lewis was often referred to as the "Godfather of Gore". Back before movies like "Friday the 13th" or "Dawn of the Dead" made blood and gore so popular in horror movies, Lewis was utilizing it in a string of drive in flicks from the mid-60s through the early 70s. Films like "Blood Feast", "The Gore-Gore Girls", "The Wizard of Gore", "The Gruesome Twosome", "2000 Maniacs", "Color Me Blood Red", etc showed blood and entrails splattered across the screen--in a way that had never been so shockingly shown before.
Not all of his movies are horror/gore flicks. This poster is for his 60s swingers in suburbia epic, "Suburban Roulette" (1968). Tame by today's standards (and available in its entirety on YouTube. Ha!), this is grindhouse fare all of the way. While I'll always prefer a poster for one of Lewis' horror flicks, I'm thrilled to get any paper from any of his films...including this one.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Suburban%20Roulette_zpsfxfg09wq.jpg)
"Eliminators" was one of the last low-budget drive-in/grindhouse-type of movies to be shown in theaters during the VHS era, when all of the product of that caliber started making the shift to going "straight to video". Essentially a cheesy sci-fi flick wanting to rip-off the "Terminator" franchise (the similar title and the half man/ half machine "Mandroid" character, front and center on the poster). What fun! (And darn it...didn't I just buy another copy of this not too long ago? ARGH!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Eliminators_zpszgzcplw1.jpg)
I should probably post something more recent. Hmmm. "Annabelle"--the horror spinoff from "The Conjuring"--is another poster I got at the beginning of the year (January 1st, i think, actually). I wasn't wild about the movie--but the doll is creepy.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Annabelle_zpsmrb149ml.jpg)
I also really dig the quasi-3D artwork for the recent "Hansel & Gretel Witch Hunters". This is the international poster art--much more in-your-face interesting than the US version (look it up).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Hansel%20Gretel%20witch%20hunters%203D%20international_zpsscfyhnds.jpg)
I have no idea what this movie is about (or why the poster has been hard to get--I was always being outbid on it over the years), but here is the poster for "I Married A Woman", the 1958 flick starring George Gobel and Diana Dors (she was Britain's answer to Marilyn Monroe). I don't understand the significance of the title--but it's kind of campy and the artwork is fun. Zowie! It's also my first Diana Dors poster (Now if only I could score a poster with the REAL Marilyn Monroe! Ha!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/I%20married%20a%20woman_zpstqbueiuu.jpg)
My final poster for this quasi-installment is an insert poster (a long, narrow poster--used until about the mid-80s). I've never been a fan of inserts (I prefer the full experience of the regular one-sheet movie poster), but this one was in great condition and for a fun title (never seen the movie). The movie was originally called "Five Minutes To Live", but this is it under it's wonderfully exploitative re-release title "Door To Door Maniac"! What's even better about this title is that the maniac of the re-title is played by country music legend Johnny Cash! Ha! His partner in crime is played by Vic Tayback (Mel from the old "Alice" TV series). Ron ("Happy Days", "Andy Griffith Show", "American Graffiti" )Howard is also in the film (as a little kid).

Until next time.
CHEERS!

Very nice pile of posters you got here, Go-Go.
This one sheet for Man Who Cried Wolf is really a treat.
Absolutely beautiful.
I must've missed something earlier... which website were your posters originally posted on?
cheers

Hi Brude/Ted. They were here: http://forums.fanbolt.com/topic/61/movie-poster-collectors-thread/
There had been a longer, earlier thread but it was deleted when the site tried to revamp itself (which did not work). I started that thread at the beginning of January...about a month or so before I moved over here. I was posting to both for a while before I gave up on the other one (why post when no one else was?). I'll move all of the posters that I had slapped up over there over here eventually. This was just the first batch...and I totally love "The Man Who Cried Wolf" as well. WOW! I lucked out there, if I do say so myself...
Thanks for visiting. It's always a pleasure having you pop by.
CHEERS!

I'm back...with another batch of old (NOT "new purchases") stuff I am transferring over to All Poster Forum I had posted elsewhere. This is stuff I got in 2015 but from BEFORE starting my page here.
CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS:
One of my long-time quests paid off in January with the acquisition of the "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things" poster. I love early zombie posters (between "Night of the Living Dead" and the glut in the early 80s just after "Zombie") and I've wanted this poster for ages. However, when I finally got it, I discovered it was a little more damaged and stained than I'd anticipated (Not nearly as nice as the one shown---this must be an image pulled from elsewhere on the 'net). It will do...maybe...but the hunt is still on (just in case).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Children%20Shouldnt_zpsykxl62jl.jpg)
ASTEROID ADVENTURE:
"Asteroid Adventure" is apparently an IMAX Simulation ride film. I was surprised to stumble upon a poster for it. I've seen IMAX before but never an Imax Simulator. I'm not even sure this counts as a "movie poster" although in a simulator, you are essentially watching a "movie" but in a moving theater. Interesting.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Asteroid%20Adventure_zpski8vdosr.jpg)
THE BRIDES OF FU MANCHU:
"The Bride of Fu Manchu" is the 2nd (of 5) Fu Manchu movies to star Christopher Lee in the 60s. I had heard about the Fu Manchu movies for years. They never really interested me, but last year I finally decided to track them down and found they did not live up to their reputation. Oh well. I've decided to track down the posters anyway. (Why not?)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Brides%20Fu%20Manchu_zpsgbppvubp.jpg)
BY LOVE POSSESSED:
"By Love Possessed" is an old Lana Turner movie. No one remembers Lana Turner today (Who?), but she was a screen sex siren before Marilyn Monroe. She is the one supposedly discovered in Schwab's Drug Store in Hollywood (a Hollywood myth). This is one of her later films when she was nearing (gasp!) middle age. Aside from "Peyton Place" it's the only Lana Turner poster I have.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/By%20Love%20Possessed_zpsofsheubw.jpg)
CAT O' NINE TAILS:
"Cat O'Nine Tails" is an early Dario Argento flick made before his classic "Susperia" (which I also have). It is a giallo flick (kind of like a bizarre murder mystery with graphic murders) and features American stars James Franciscus and Karl Malden. Argento is collectible. Now if I can just get a copy of.... well, his OTHER posters. Dang!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Cat%20O%20nine%20Tails_zpsqco1myv7.jpg)
THE INCREDIBLE TORTURE SHOW:
"The Incredible Torture Show"?? What's that? Never heard of it? "The Incredible Torture Show" was the original title that is now better known under it's super exploitative title "Bloodsucking Freaks", a nasty little sick-o-rama low budget horror flick. Has that fallen off the radar of horror/exploitation fans? I thought it had a cult following, so when this poster (which I already have a copy of) became available for very little, I scooped it up as an investment. I have a "Bloodsucking Freaks" poster as well, but... Apparently I chose unwisely. These appear to be a dime a dozen. I've seen lots of copies of this sold in lots. UGH! OH well...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Incredible%20Torture%20Show%20v_zpsohqtucvg.jpg)
THE MASTER SUSPENSE THRILL SHOW COMBO:
I picked up this cool double-bill poster for "The Horror Chamber of Dr. Faustus" and "The Manster" at the beginning of the year. Cool stuff...or so I thought. Not long after buying this, I discovered there was a full color version of this and bought that one too. UGH! Oh well...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Master%20Suspense_zpsll1nndbo.jpg)
DEATHSTALKER II:
Yes, this is a poster for a video release (VHS videocassette! Zowie! Ha!). I had gotten the original theatrical poster for the first "Deathstalker". I realized if I wanted the other posters for the other three films in the series (a series I have never seen as of yet), I would have to buy video posters because they were not released theatrically. I got Parts 3 and 4. I finally scored "Deathstalker 2" earlier this year. I can't believe it took so long to track down since it is the least interesting of the four. Oh well.I am thrilled to finally have it. However, a few weeks back i could have sworn i saw a THEATRICAL version of this same poster. HUH? Did it play theatrically? Is there a theatrical one sheet? If so, I'm on the hunt once again...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Deathstalker%202_zpsczypgebj.jpg)
Tim Burton's ALICE IN WONDERLAND:
Tim Burton's "Alice In Wonderland" was a huge, HUGE hit. I didn't really like it. Like most of Burton's films (i.e. "Planet of the Apes", "Mars Attacks", "Dark Shadows",etc.), it was incredible visually, but I was b-o-r-e-d. The poster does carry the incredible visuals though... I must have gotten this because it was cheap, er...inexpensive. I already had the Johnny Depp / Mad Hatter lenticular. Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Burtons%20Alice%20In%20Wonderland_zpsrl1bdid5.jpg)
THE GHOST AND MR. CHICKEN:
Another long-sought poster I scored earlier this year is for the Don Knotts comedy, "The Ghost and MR. Chicken". I saw this movie at a kiddie matinee years ago and thought it was awesome. Saw it years later, and it didn't hold up. But it has it's moments and for what it is, it's cute. This is the hardest to find poster of all of the Don Knotts films.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Ghost%20and%20Mr%20Chicken_zpstclfdhak.jpg)
I'll have a few more blasts from the not-so-distant past later. And now, it's off to bed. I need to get up at 5 a.m. tomorrow so i can work my 12 hour day (4 in a row---ugh!) to pay off my bills...so I can buy MORE POSTERS! ARGH!
CHEERS!

good stuff, Children Shouldn't play with Dead things is terrific, i sadly sold a rolled NM copy of the advance OS years ago. I should have kept it (and should get one of these for my Ted V Mikels collection really. Its a sore point I guess as what he did to the movie is not looked upon fondly I suppose.
Incredible torture show, yeah, thats a funny one, but hold onto it, and id grab them while cheap, they wont be cheap forever, you'll make a buck.
I remember as a kid renting Blood Sucking freaks, the video store had two copies, with different covers, one looked like a completely different film, so i thought it was and rented both at the same time, no it was same movie (this is before internet of course so we flew by the seat of our pants with this stuff). Still I watched it twice that weekend anyway, haha.

Don't you hate that...selling things and regretting it later? (I sold, among other things, a HALLOWEEN with the blue/green ratings box, GIGANTIS the Fire Monster--aka Godzilla 2, and LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT.) UGH! A NM advance copy? What was that like? Same art or different? And what does CSPWDT have to do with Mikels? Zowie! I never realized until now he was involved with it. I always heard Alan Ormsby and Bob Clark. I completely missed the Mikels was a producer. Ha!
How funny ---or not--that you rented two of the same movie the same weekend. And watched them both!
Okay--time to get ready for work. Blah.
CHEERS!
-
I like that Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things poster a lot.
Good score.
I have the teaser like this one that sold at Bruce's http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/6119996.html (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/6119996.html)
Ari's post prompted me to search for a pic and I found this:

I was unaware that these existed. Is this what you had, Ari?
I need to get off my lazy ass and take more pics...

Ted, thanks a lot for looking those up. I didn't have time to do so myself before work this morning (I'm on my exciting 30 minute lunch break now. Whoo...). Looks cool. Maybe I need to add one of those to my evergrowing list.
Cheers!
-
Yep, that's what I had, and despite being B/W it's really a nice poster, maybe better without colour.glad you have one Ted.
Regarding Ted Mikels, he was called in after the film had been finished to rework it to make saleable, by which some gore was edited out, making it PG, which seems now a shame, perhaps it wouldn't have been released then as was, guess we will never know.
-
He edited the gore OUT? Waaagh! I wish there was an UNCUT version out there. Oh well. The posters (advance and release versions) are cool. Thanks for alerting me to the fact there even is an advance.
CHEERS!
-
I'm going to quickly try to post more posters from 2015 I got BEFORE starting this page on ALL POSTER FORUM. These are NOT new purchases. I have NOT bought a poster in weeks... UGH! So sad... Anyway, here's the latest "old" batch:
SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT:
This was kind of a big coup for me. It is the incredibly hard to get original release poster for "Silent Night Deadly Night"! The movie is trash (really...sorry!), but love the graphics of a killer Santa popping down a chimney with an axe! Fabulous! And MINE--finally! Guess what I'll be hanging in my living room (if I ever get out of my storage shed of an apartment, that is) next holiday season... Ho ho ho!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Silent%20Night%20Deadly%20%20%20Night_zps1r1rblsv.jpg)
AFTER DARK HORRORFEST 2007 / 8 FILMS TO DIE FOR:
The After Dark Horrorfest / 8 Films To Die For mini-film festival (I've caught a few of the films in theaters--most on video) actually has one sheets. Who knew? This is for the 2007 event. Are they still doing this? I have not noticed them in a while. Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/After%20Dark%202007_zpsdsfmf239.jpg)
THE EROTIC ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO:
I already have a copy of this poster---but this one was cheap and I posted it because most people today have no idea there was a silly (and yawn-inducing) little parody called "The Erotic Adventures of Pinocchio". ("It's Not His Nose That Grows!") It sounds better than it is. Snore. And actually, the title on the poster ("Erotic Adventures Of...") is better than the on-screen title, which is just "Pinocchio". Double snore. Dyanne Thorne of the "Ilsa"movies plays the Blue Fairy. The poster is the best thing about it--and that really isn't even saying very much...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Erotic%20Pinnochio_zpsci65zk96.jpg)
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND:
Another long-sought poster, Steven Speilberg's follow-up to "Jaws", was 1977's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". I loved this movie as a kid. Now, it's kind of s-l-o-w (maybe because I've seen it and know what's coming?). But it is a classic of it's kind.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Close%20Encounters%203rd%20Kind_zpsxjt9zzui.jpg)
WITCHCRAFT '70:
"Witchcraft '70" is a moldy oldie,obscure-o documentary thang from 1970 (duh). I've seen the poster go for a lot and I have seen it sell for very little (like this one did). The poster is 45 years old and kind of cool with the scantily clad woman kissing a skull and the wording shouting out all of the shocking acts on display in the movie. I have actually seen this turd. It's pretty lame, but...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Witchcraft%2070_zpsod8xhx21.jpg)
PLANES - FIRE AND RESCUE:
"Planes 2"--I've actually never seen the "Planes"movies...or the "Cars" movies they are spun off from. But the poster is kinda cool, it was a popular flick and it's a Disney title. Hopefully it will rise in value. I'm NOT holding my breath though.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Planes%202_zpsepfvyewe.jpg)
THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA - THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE:
I never saw any of the "Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" movies, but I couldn't resist this lenticular (has that cool 3D effect) poster for the first film when I saw it "on sale". SOLD! This photo does NOT do it justice.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Narnia%20lenticular_zpsm3obul8v.jpg)
HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS:
Forget the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp hunk of junk from a few years back, this is the original "House of Dark Shadows", retelling the original Barnabas Collins story from the classic soap opera "Dark Shadows" with the original "Dark Shadows" actors! I've been looking for a decent copy for years! Got one!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/House%20of%20Dark%20%20Shadows%20one%20sheet_zps05voorom.jpg)
CLAWS:
"CLAWS"is a pretty rare poster and the movie is also hard to find. The year before this was made,a killer bear movie called "Grizzly" was released. This was a ripoff of "Grizzly" (which was itself a ripoff of "Jaws" but set on land). The reason "CLAWS" is so hard to find is because it was released internationally as "Grizzly 2"--even though it was NOT an authorized sequel. (There actually is a sequel to "Grizzly" that was filmed and never released. Look up "Grizzly 2: The Concert" on YouTube--the work print is there and you'll be amazed by the stars that were in it...). Blah blah blah...I'm thrilled to get this--and it was CHEAP!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/CLAWS_zpsyxnhkmx4.jpg)
AMERICAN PSYCHO:
"American Psycho" starring Christian Bale and based on the Brett Easton Ellis novel is a cult hit. The poster is often pricey and hard to find. I got it at a surprisingly reasonable price! Yahoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/American%20Psycho_zpshqw746b8.jpg)
And now, off to bed. I gotta get to work bright and early. UGH!
CHEERS!
-
Nice stuff as always Go Go, but I really need to grab a Close Encounters for myself. That tri-fold looks to be in very good shape congrats! Also that lenticular Narnia is a great poster!

Hey Gingerman. Thanks for the kind words about my posters. I'm at work (day 4 of a 4 day assignment. ..12 hour shifts) and I'm on my 30 minute lunch break on my phone. I saw you posted some new stuff yourself. I'll need to check back on that when I'm off. Glad to see you are making yourself at home here on the site. Cheers!
-
Good morning (for another 5 minutes it is, at least). I finally have a day off and I got to sleep in. Time for another blast from the recent past--MORE posts from that other site of things purchased this year before I started this page on ALL POSTER FORUM!
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN:
Yes, everyone knows (and apparently wants) this poster. I've been trying to snag one for years and years. In January, I finally got one. Yahoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Young%20Frankenstein_zpspf3z17kh.jpg)
DR. SHAGETZ:
"Dr.Shagetz"? I've never heard of it. Must have been a big hit in the 70s....NOT. Still the poster was just interesting enough (and cheap enough) to buy. The picture shown is a pic taken from the internet. I'm not sure why it's not a picture of my actual item. Anyway,I looked up this history of this flick and found this: http://horrorpedia.com/2012/10/10/evil-town/ It kind of makes me curious to see the original, uncut version now...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Dr%20Shagetz_zpsswv7dxb4.jpg)
SOMETHING WEIRD:
I scored another HG Lewis poster earlier this year. "Something Weird" is an LSD-themed movie and the namesake of the video company that releases lost old trashy movies (like "Something Weird"! Ha!). I saw this years ago (80s vhs, of course) and it was...crap. But, it's HG Lewis and Something Weird Video (a company I bought from frequently in the VHS days and early in the DVD days before they started going cheapy DVD-r) totally uses the image for its logo. Why not?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Something%20Weird_zpsc1h3m0kz.jpg)
MACUMBA LOVE:
"Macumba Love"---never seen the flick,but have often seen the poster and wondered about it. It's mine now. I Macumba Love it. Ha! (Well, I don't "love"i it. I do like it though. I wish it was the full color version...but there is something creepy about this quasi-negative version). In FLAMING Eastman Color! Check out the cheesy trailer. Looks so silly/lame/fabulous! https://youtu.be/1JEncJJjhmI
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Macumba%20Love_zpso0rcoeda.jpg)
DESPERATE LIVING:
This is a blurry photo, but the best I could find of the rare (and odd-sized) poster for the early John Waters movie "Desperate Living". There were no one sheets for this title and it's very hard to find any posters for it today:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Desperate%20Living_zpshyuwqgz9.jpg)
FEMALE TROUBLE:
Here's another early John Waters poster--again the odd size (although there were later one sheets for this one--and I'd LOVE to have one).This is for "Female Trouble"! Oh my!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Female%20Trouble_zpsjxwmkjhj.jpg)
LUST IN THE DUST:
Although it is NOT a John Waters flick (even though it is often thought to be because it stars John Waters' superstar Divine), "Lust in the Dust" was also something I already had, but wasn't too expensive, so...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Lust%20in%20the%20Dust_zpsdqvwbeec.jpg)
MR. SARDONICUS:
"Mr. Sardonicus" is a William Castle movie. Castle was the King of the Gimmicks. The gimmicks sold the movies more so than the films themselves. The particular gimmick for this flick, "The Punishment Poll", is neatly illustrated/described in the poster. Patrons supposedly decided the ending of the movie. Thumbs up if you want the hero to live. Thumbs down if he needs to be punished. Knowing his audience would want the worst, only ONE ending was ever shot. Awesome! I already had this poster, but when another came available super cheap,i could not say no.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Mr%20Sardonicus_zpsryw9bqfs.jpg)
I DISMEMBER MAMA / BLOOD-SPATTERED BRIDE combo:
I already had a copy of this poster, but couldn't resist another cheap copy. It's the double feature poster for "I Dismember Mama" and "Blood Splattered Bride". There's also mention of a groovy gimmick---that all movie goers get a free UPCHUCK CUP! Zowie! (I'd like to find one of those--an unused one, of course.)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/I%20dismember%20blood%20spattered%20comboi_zpswiltk7kk.gif)
COUNTRY CUZZINS:
My final poster for today is Harry Novak's "Country Cuzzins". "Country Cuzzins" is a sleazy low-budget country-themed sex romp from Harry Novak's Box office International Pictures that played drive ins over and over in the 70s. Novak made a lot of exploitation stuff in the 60s and 70s. Of his hillbilly themed flicks, he also had titles like "The Pig Keeper's Daughter", "Midnight Plowboy", "Tobacco Roody", and "Southern Comforts".
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Country%20cuzzins_zpszj78zoh0.jpg)
Stay tuned for me. Thanks for visiting.
CHEERS!

There's also mention of a groovy gimmick---that all movie goers get a free UPCHUCK CUP! Zowie! (I'd like to find one of those--an unused one, of course.)
Hahahahaha.
I had this vision of you rifling through a theater dumpster and finding an upchuck cup... only to find that it was half full.
Gag..blecch...
-
As rare as those cups must be---I'd take it! REALLY! HURL!!!!
-
I need to get to bed, but want to get these up... Just a few more entries and I'll be done. Again these are poster purchased earlier this year, posted on another site---before I started my page here. I'm just moving them over...
THE BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS:
This first one was just something I stumbled upon, never expecting to see one or buy one. It was just suddenly there and not too expensive (considering what it is)."The Beast of Yucca Flats" is a low-budget shocker from the early 60s that stars Ed Wood favorite Tor Johnson. It's strictly a cheap, low budget flick...as the (not too thrilling) poster clearly makes it look, but has become a minor cult classic.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Beast%20of%20Yucca%20Flats_zpsbz97gug3.jpg)
A CHRISTMAS STORY:
"A Christmas Story" is another long-wanted poster. It's mine now,and I didn't have to stick my tongue to a frozen flagpole, ask Santa or shoot my eye out to get it. Yippie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/A%20Christmas%20Story_zpsmykzvdi3.jpg)
THE CHRISTMAS THAT ALMOST WASN'T:
Speaking of Christmas...I've never seen this flick and only heard of it when seeing the one sheet. Since seeing it, I've been hunting but not wanting to pay too much for. I've seen re-release matinee posters, but wanted this initial release poster (that says "Childhood Productions" on it). Again, I've never seen this Italian import--but it's colorful and could be fun to have on the walls during the holidays.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20christmas%20that%20almost%20wasnt_zpsa0nd7nvq.jpg)
THE RATS ARE COMING! THE WEREWOLVES ARE HERE!:
The posters of sleazemeister Andy Milligan's films are collectible.The posters are better than the films themselves and have a wonderful sleazy quality to them. I am lucky enough to have a couple already, but getting "The Rats Are Coming! The Werewolves are Here!" is a true joy! There are other posters of his I really want---but to me, this one is a real coup. Yahoo! I just wish I had a better example (photo-wise) to share with you.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Rats%20are%20coming%20the%20werewolves%20are%20here_zpsy3mp2uje.jpg)
KONGA:
Even though I just scored another copy a few weeks back, I really had the hots for the British "KING KONG" rip-off,"KONGA" one sheet! Love this poster (although the film is kind of lame). i HAD been trying to get one forever. That's one off of my "Gotta have it" list! Whoo hoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Konga_zpslzmzar57.jpg)
SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE:
I already have one of these (I think), but thought this was a good bargain. From the 80s, it's the poster for "Soroity House Massacre" -- another movie I've never seen (or its sequels...).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/sorority%20house%20massacre_zpserrozpxx.jpg)
BILLY JACK:
Here is the re-release of "Billy Jack". Although I have the set of "Billy Jack" movies on DVD, i still have not watched them yet. Made in the 70s, they are supposed to be cheesy cult flicks. I have one of the 4 Billy Jack posters and thought I'd go after the whole series. I like the re-release "Billy Jack" (as simple as it is) over the weird, psychedelic original release poster. It's nothing special but here it is:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/billy%20jack_zpsjhdzu8li.jpg)
BLOOD BEACH:
Here is the cool one sheet for "Blood Beach" (another poster that is, in my opinion, better than the movie itself). The best thing about this flick is the poster art and the tag line that totally riffs that of "Jaws 2"--Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, you can't get to it! I already have at least one copy of this cool poster (I think), but it never hurts to have a spare. I actually saw this in the theater with a piece of crap called "The Day After Halloween". UGH! Neither film was all that good, but this one was better...and did i mention i liked the poster?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/blood%20beach_zpstmzgnlyf.jpg)
FIRE:
The photo below is the only photo I could find online (stolen from emovieposter.com...gasp!) to illustrate the poster for the international theatrical version of Irwin Allen's TV disaster movie "FIRE"! (The copy I got is a one sheet--not the three sheet shown). I already have another copy of this that had taken me years and years to track down. This one showed up and I bid a minimal amount ...and won it. Now I have a back up. Cool disaster art (for a crappy TV movie that international audiences had to PAY to see. Ha! At least it produced a cool one sheet...).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/fire_zps7u6igyfe.jpg)
TORMENTED:
Although I had scored a copy of the wonderful "Tormented" poster in late 2014, another (in great condition) became available and went for a price that was too low NOT to invest in a 2nd copy. SOLD! I'll resell one of them down the line.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/tormented_zpspiw0r0e8.jpg)
And there's another 10. Stay tuned for more coming soon.
CHEERS!
-
That Beast of Yucca Flats poster is great.
So is A Christmas Story and The Rats are Coming...
Actually, they are all worth having.
Really nice batch of paper here, Go-Go!
cheers
-
Hi Ted/Brude. Thanks. I kind of like the posters I got in this batch too. BEAST isn't the best poster--but it's rare. I had never even seen one before.
Thanks for looking, pal.
CHEERS!
-
Nice next installment, MAGG!
The roll continues, I see.
thumbsup.gif
-
Hi Jeff. I'm glad you approve of these posters, but again--they are from early 2015, before I started this page. I have NOT bought a new poster in a month now. I've got a few more batched to post from that old website and then...well, I guess I won't have anything to post until I can afford to buy again. Hmm.
Anyway, here's another 10 from earlier this year BEFORE I started this page:
ECCO:
"Ecco" is another mondo-type documentary that came out in the 1960s to cash in on the sensation created by "Mondo Cane" and its sequel. Narrated by George Saunders, it's a hodge-podge of strange customs and rituals around the world (reindeer castration by teeth anyone? Done as a way to win your mate. I know I look for someone who can castrate with teeth when I look for a mate. NOT!). The poster is about as hodge-podgey as the film itself.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/ECCO_zpszq2caibf.jpg)
BAYOU:
"Bayou" is a low budget melodrama set in the Louisiana swamp lands and stars a young Peter ("Mission Impossible" ) Graves from 1957. It went no where at the box office, so some enterprising showman bought the film, added in new scenes (with stand ins) that conveyed a rape scene (that was not part of the original story), re-titled the flick "Poor White Trash" and, with an exploitive ad campaign, made big bucks! (A similar stunt was pulled on a 1974 flick called "Scum of the Earth". It was rechristened "Poor White Trash 2" and, paired together, both films played drive ins for years!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/BAYOU_zpsgpabs0a7.jpg)
GREMLINS:
I should have had a copy of the original "Gremlins" poster ages ago, but they always seemed to elude me. Not this one. SOLD!!!! This is the classic poster for the cool 80s flick. I'll be careful not to feed it after midnight and not to get it wet! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/GREMLINS_zps35aisnmi.jpg)
THE MINOTAUR:
Here is another wannabe "Hercules" clone from 1961, "The Minotaur" starring former Olympic star Bob Mathias. I haven't seen this (yet), but love those old "sword & sandel/peplum" flicks (or, I simply refer to them as "Hercules movies" even though Herc is NOT in most of them). A double bonus for wanting this is that Mathias was actually from a small town near here (Tulare). Somehow I don't think he was nearly as buff as he is portrayed in the illustration. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/THE%20MINOTAUR_zpslpfsioor.jpg)
THE SADIST:
This poster is for the cheesy-sleazy 1963 trash fest (that is strangely compelling--yes, even though it stars Arch Hall Jr.) "The Sadist". Great poster! I was thrilled to score it. Even the poster has a wonderfully sleazy look to it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/THE%20SADIST_zpsaipw8d11.jpg)
MOTHER GOOSE' BIRTHDAY PARTY:
I've never seen this old kiddie matinee mess from K. Gordon Murray called "Mother Goose' Birthday Party"....but I hear it is awful. I've long had a hankering to track down this old kiddie matinee posters. I prefer the ones by "Childhood Productions" (usually presented in "Storybook Color" and "Never before seen anywhere"), but also really dig the K. Gordon Murray ones as well. (Barry Mahon also made several--but the posters for those are not nearly as interesting.) Why aren't these out on video? They're so AWFUL! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/MOTHER%20GOOSE%20BIRTHDAY%20PARTY_zpsujdtb2wj.jpg)
THE LAST CIRCUS:
"The Last Circus" is a Spanish horror movie I've heard great things about. I have it on DVD, but have not seen it yet. I know it only had a limited US release,so I didn't want to miss my chance when I saw this come up for sale...especially if it goes on to cult status.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/LAST%20CIRCUS_zpsygyg4epk.jpg)
JOHNNY FIRECLOUD:
I've never seen "Johnny Firecloud"--and the poster is not really attractive at all to me. However, the film,which is out on Something Weird Video, has been gaining a bit of a cult reputation. I'll track it down eventually. It was another cheap buy, so why not?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/JOHNNY%20FIRECLOUD_zpsuik6bn4s.jpg)
NIGHTMARES:
Eh... "Nightmares" is a forgettable anthology film with ho-hum scares. The poster is only marginably interesting, with the eys and hands reaching out. It was $3. Ha! Bargain...but I should have/could have PASSED on it (I probably already have one anyway...). Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/NIGHTMARES_zpsamul5mcf.jpg)
HOW TO STUFF A WILD BIKINI:
"How To Stuff A Wild Bikini" is the last of the Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello beach party movies. Though AIP would crank out one more ("Ghost in the Invisible Bikini" withOUT Frankie and Annette) and other imitators were still making some ("Catalina Caper" for example), this was the end of the party for Frankie and Annette. Frankie isn't in it much, as he is away in the navy (but has had a witch doctor spying on Annette via a magical pelican)! Annette, still a virgin, but visibly pregnant with her real-life child...tries desperately to remain true to Frankie, fight off the advances of Tommy Kirk, and conceal her bulging belly. As cheesy as these films are, I like 'em. I already have a copy of this, but it was also cheap. NOW that I finally got my hands on the poster for the original "Beach Party" last April, my Frankie and Annette beach party collection is complete. Now to track down some of the posters for the OTHER wanna be beach movies...(I.e. "Catalina Caper", the "Gidget" flicks, etc.).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/HOW%20TO%20STUFF%20A%20WILD%20BIKINI_zpsaz9crpja.jpg)
And that's 10. ALMOST done moving stuff over. Stay tuned.
Thanks for stopping by.
CHEERS!

This is a great thread, dude.
It will be a sad day when you run out of posters.

"NIGHTMARES:

AHH thanks, its been bugging me for a while now, a video i rented as a kid, im trying to get the first dozen tapes I rented as a mini collection, THIS is one of them, I couldnt remember the title or cover but when i saw the poster i realised.
Thanks, not to track the (aussie) VHS or Beta down.
-
Hi Ted/brude. I may run out of posters to move over from that old site, but I have years and years (boxes and boxes and tube and...) of posters. Not gonna "run out" in the near future. No worries there.
Ari, glad I brought back a memory from your youth...I just wish the movie in question was a better one. Good luck finding the video...
Cheers!
-
yeah thats cool, its nostalgia (more for the cover) as even then I didnt like the movie much, haha as in I never rented it again.
-
Arch Hall, Jr. as The Sadist is one of the funniest performances I've ever seen.
I'm sure that wasn't the intent, but that film stinks so bad it had me rolling on the floor in laughter.
Did I mention that I am extremely envious of your Last Circus one sheet?
That is a hard poster to find.
-
My god you have some seriously cool stuff.
-
Go Go!!! Nice stuff nice stuff indeed. Is that Gremlins a 30x40? I have a mint Gremlins Insert!!! I also seem to have trouble "catching" a Gremlin OS.
-
ARI--No need to explain or defend your youthful fixation. i totally understand as demonstrated below (see the "JACK FROST" listing).
Ted/Brude: I know what you mean about Arch Hall Jr. in "The Sadist". It was a crappy movie, but I somehow "liked" it (NOT that I ever want/need to watch it again). I do like the poster though. And, zowie! It's good to know I did the right thing in buying the "Last Circus" poster when I saw it available. I need to watch it. I have it, as I said, in my huge pile of movies to watch.
MWright: Zowie! Thanks for the very kind praise.
Hey Gingerman! No, it's a one sheet "Gremlins". By and large I only do one sheets...so, unless otherwise noted, everything I post is a one sheet (unless, like the example I used for "Fire" was a 3 sheet because I had nothing else to illustrate with). Good luck with your GREMLINS hunt. It took me decades...but I'm old (50). I bet you find yours long before you hit the big 5-0.
And now, here's the next 10. Not very exciting...but I'm almost done!
JACK FROST:
Not a very colorful or attractive poster...and the movie is certainly no classic...however this is one of the earliest movies I remember seeing (a portion of) as a kid (I think the absolute earliest was "Goldfinger" at the drive in during a re-release). For years I wondered what the film was,only having dim memories of a witch living in a tree house in which the tree turned to face different directions on command. This may also be the movie that kindled my interest in kiddie matinee posters. This poster clearly states it is showing Saturday and Sunday matinees only. I don't remember what movie we were seeing, but the portion of THIS movie I do remember (the witch in the tree house thing) stems from my running into the theater (I'm guessing my family was just going in to or out of another theater, seeing something else), seeing that portion of the movie---and then being dragged out by my father. I was very young, but clearly wanted to see the film desperately. The commercials on TV for it must have really captured my imagination and when I found out what theater it was in, I made a beeline for it. ( Couldn't find the real trailer---but it looks like someone made one. No narration--just music and sound effects. https://youtu.be/ygnS5njZRak ) Oh well. The film, it turns out, is actually a Russian movie that has nothing to do with Jack Frost apparently. I have not seen it as an adult,so have no idea if it's any good or not. I kind of doubt it... This was only a few bucks...why not?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Jack%20Frost_zpsmltp59wj.jpg)
THE NUTCRACKER 3D:
I never knew this movie existed, but stumbled on the poster. It was cheap and apparently the flick is in 3D (noted on the poster). I'm a sucker for a gimmick and this might be nice to hang at Christmas time (at least that was what I had thought when I got this as I still had NOT landed a copy of "A Christmas Store" poster at that point! Ha!). Why not?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Nutcracker%203D_zpsz5hzj3hr.jpg)
BLUEBEARD'S 10 HONEYMOONS:
"Bluebeard's 10 Honeymoons"! Ha! Not in the best shape, but I dig the graphics with the bride followed by a long line of skeletons. Very cool. I had never heard of it until I saw the poster but I would love to see the flick.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/BLUEBEARDS%2010%20HONEYMOONS_zps14fjzevn.jpg)
TIGER MAN:
By now you probably know I have a thing for 3D and/or gimmick movies. I've never seen the martial arts movie "Tiger Man", but zowie! It's in 3D. SOLD! Ha! Actually, it looks like it might have been partially filmed in San Francisco (It looks like they are on top of a cable car!) and at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk (rollercoaster). And in 3D? How fun! The TIGER MAN poster came in a lot of other martial arts movie posters I have no interest in and will eventually sell or something.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/TIGER%20MAN%203D_zpsrdmisjnf.jpg)
SANDS OF KALAHARI:
I've never seen "The Sands of Kalahari", but it looks like it might be a killer monkey movie (a la "In the Shadows of Kilimanjaro" perhaps?). It looked interesting and was reasonably priced so.,..SOLD! Incidentally, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were originally to star, but Liz asked too high a price and Burton also backed out. Stuart Whitman filled in.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/SANDS%20OF%20KALAHARI_zpsejeouxjw.jpg)
SECRET CEREMONY:
Elizabeth Taylor did NOT back out of "Secret Ceremony" which also stars Mia Farrow and Robert Mitchum. A friend of mine digs this flick---although it does nothing for me--in which Liz plays a middle-aged prostitute who Mia Farrow thinks is her dead mother...and Liz,who also had a daughter die, goes and lives with her in her old mansion. $2 for the poster. Eh.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/SECRET%20CEREMONY_zpsxtotiagi.jpg)
ALICE, SWEET ALICE:
Here is the 1977 horror flick (that was re-released a zillion times,especially after Brooke Shields got famous)one sheet for "Alice, Sweet Alice". While not the best horror flick either (and who,under 30, even knows it exists?), I always loved the image on the poster. The baby doll with two faces (happy and sad) with the knife plunged into it's bloody back and the creepy mask peeking out from inside the paper bag. Kind of cool.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/ALICE%20SWEET%20ALICE_zps3vjw4wdy.jpg)
PIPPI IN THE SOUTH SEAS:
"Pippi in the South Seas" is one of a quartet of movies released here in the US that were apparently culled from a Swedish-made TV series in the late 60s. This poster is for the 2nd movie in the series. Pippi is a rich wild child (also the strongest girl in the world) who lives on her own in a suburban neighborhood (her father is a pirate and she has a chest of pirate treasure to use for expenses). She has a horse and monkey. She befriends a neighborhood brother and sister and takes them on crazy adventures. I always wanted to see these flicks as a kid--but didn't get to until years later on DVD.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/PIPPI%20IN%20THE%20SOUTH%20SEAS_zpsdug5n3es.jpg)
CRAZE:
CRAZE is some early 70s Jack Palance horror flick (Where black magic explodes into murder...). This movie also featured Diana Dors (Britain's one-time answer to Marilyn Monroe) but probably towards the end of her career, exploitation stars Julie Ege and Suzy Kendall, and Trevor Howard...also DAME Edith Evans! Ha! I've never seen it. Another cheapo for the pile... The poster looks much more interesting in real life.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/CRAZE_zpsrokgians.jpg)
A TASTE OF BLOOD:
Finally (for now) it's the one sheet for H.G. Lewis' "A Taste of Blood". Lewis has often been called "The Godfather of Gore" because of his shocking (for the 1960s and early '70s) use of gore that had, until that time, been unheard of.
"A Taste of Blood"is one of his lesser gore flicks, but I'm thrilled to get the poster for it. I have "The Gore Gore Girls", "Blood Feast" and "2000 Maniacs". I'd love to have a few other gore flick posters for his film. Oh well... Eventually, right? For now, this is AWESOME!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/A%20TASTE%20OF%20BLOOD_zpsbskpxfat.jpg)
As always, thanks for visiting. CHEERS!

Here is the 1977 horror flick (that was re-released a zillion times,especially after Brooke Shields got famous)one sheet for "Alice, Sweet Alice". While not the best horror flick either (and who,under 30, even knows it exists?), I always loved the image on the poster.

I love this film, it has an atmosphere all of its own.
Especially the over weight bloke, fark he is creepy.
-
Fark Ari... I like that word! Ha! THANKS!

Always liked the Frank McCarthy art for Sands of the Kalahari.
I remember seeing this film at a drive-in as a kid.
Good stuff.

So
(Oops! I don't know how this happened, but this is a mistake post. Can i delete this?)
-
Ted/Brude: So SANDS OF KALAHARI is worth checking out? Good to know...
Here's the last batch of those posters I need to move over from that old site...
ARABIAN ADVENTURE:
This is the English one sheet for a 70s fantasy movie (Sinbad ripoff?) "Arabian Adventure". While I've never seen the film, I dig the poster. I already had the US one sheet, which is completely different. The US poster looks like a page out of a comic book. (Here's an example of the cartoon-y US version.

SWORD OF ALI BABA:
"The Sword of Ali Baba" is another Arabian fantasy from 1965. It's nothing spectacular--but, again, the poster was cheap. (It also apparently features a young Gavin MacLoed, aka Captain Stubing from "The Love Boat", as an Arab according to IMDB. Ha!)

NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION:
The only "VACATION" poster I've owned up until I got this was the one for CHRISTMAS VACATION (which I hope is NOT a fake, but fear it might be as it is taller by 1/2 or 1 inch or so than 41 inches). When the original poster for the series came along at a good price, I thought I'd go for it. Not wild about the art, but...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Vacation_zps8aug6tcu.jpg)
PROSTITUTION:
Another (cheap) poster I came across that I'd never heard of but couldn't refuse is for some hokey-looking documentary (??) called "Prostitution" from 1963. I'm sure, if it is a doc, it is laughably faked and, because it's at least 50 years old, it would be horribly dated anyway. But the early sleaze factor of the poster could not be denied.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Prostitution_zpsydawgimt.jpg)
MURDER WITHOUT TEARS:
I've never seen 1953's thriller "Murder Without Tears", but the poster intrigued me with its wild use of color and I loved the screaming woman with the exaggerated scared hand in the center. Plus it was cheap. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Murder%20without%20Tears_zpsukpy77xj.jpg)
THE TERROR:
This is the advance poster for the Roger Corman flick starring Boris Karloff and a young Jack Nicholson. I've been wanting one for years. I just wish it had been the full color regular one sheet. Oh well...eventually.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/2f598f18-dd29-4aff-817c-7a76d7696dc9_zpschlcxqby.jpg)
SLEEPING BEAUTY:
Not the Disney version, this SLEEPING BEAUTY is some live-action schlock crap imported from somewhere, dubbed and fed to unsuspecting children who probably gagged the whole time they were trapped in the theater. I love my kiddie matinee posters. This one is from my favorite kiddie matinee company, Childhood Productions (they usually have the better posters...and all say the film is in "storybook color" and "Never before shown anywhere"). With the exception of one or two, I think i pretty much have all of the Childhood Production posters.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Sleeping%20Beauty%20CP_zpsju0azyiy.jpg)
MONDO CANE and MONDO CANE 2 combo:
Here is the double feature release of the 60s documentaries that started the "mondo" craze, "Mondo Cane" and "Mondo Cane 2". Virtually unknown to younger people today, these docs caused quite the sensation when they were released. Tame by today's standards, they still have their place in film history. And the poster features highlights from both films: "The With-it sex highs" "See the chicken that smokes", "naked witchcraft murders", ""co-ed orgy baths", "today's cannibalism", "see priests on fire!" THE MOST SENSATIONAL EXPOSE OF THE FREAK SIDE OF LIFE! Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Mondo%20Cane%201%20and%202%20combo_zpsryh04blt.jpg)
THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN:
I remember when this came out. I wanted to see it so badly, but didn't get to (of course) until the VHS days. By then, I was not impressed. Even the poster wasn't that exciting to me, but I got it for nostalgia's sake (even though I probably already have one tucked away somewhere).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/a7f5aebd-12ac-4d7e-8cf1-c6b292d8cf5c_zpstbjik2bm.jpg)
FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER and CURSE OF THE VOODOO combo:
Zowie! I love, love, LOVE this final poster! It is a great example of a really cool poster for a really awful movie, "Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster"!! The original title was going to be "Mars Invades Puerto Rico" or something like that--but who'd pay to see that? It's such a cheap and cheesy flick--in black & white, although you'd never know from the full-color poster.
The poster also screams that the management would supply patrons with FREE space shield eye protectors to prevent their abduction into outer space! Zowie! I wonder what those were. This is also a combo poster where the double feature is prominently displayed, "Curse of the Voodoo". Wow! Up until now I only had a ratty half sheet for this title. The one sheet is nearly pristine! Yippee!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Frankenstein%20Meets%20the%20Space%20Monster_zpsi5jquiaq.jpg)
Okay---everything is pulled over (with the exception of some snore-inducing martial arts posters I don't care about). If / when that old site dies (which it slowly is), I'll still have my poster collection (of stuff purchased this year, at least) saved here.
Thanks for stopping by.
CHEERS!

Love the Terror teaser, and Arabian Adventure, and Prostitution and -- holy shnikeys -- Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster.
You have a treasure trove of classics, moderns, exploitation, kiddies, etc. etc.
I think you need to take pics of them all and launch a website -- complete with your commentary, of course.
It would rock.
As always, thank you for the entertainment!

Nice, Arabian adventure is a fun film BTW.
re THE TERROR Ive owned both versions, and side by side, the advance/teaser you have is THE WINNER!

Ted, Gingerman, and Ari... thanks for popping in and saying hello, gents. Argh. It's 6 a.m. Shower time. It's a work day... UGH! I'll have to get back to you later..
CHEERS!

Oooooo... I am DOOMED! It had been a whole month since I bought anything. I'm in debt up to my eyeballs and I can't afford a thing. What happens? I get a saved search notice (that I actually look at --I had been avoiding them) and eeeek! I fun off and complicate my life further! I went shopping and marked a whole bunch of things to watch in addition to the one I really wanted. With poster fever back, I also checked out emovieposter to see what was going on there...and bid (very, VERY conservatively on a whole lot of stuff, knowing I'd be outbid on most of it....which was, of course, STUPID).
Emovie's wins were relatively painless--less than $40 (including shipping). They were nothing great, but... Here's what I got:
CHERNOBYL DIARIES:
Not the best film ever---far from it, in fact. But it did utilize an amazing location (where is that abandoned city they used? I knew it wasn't the real Chernobyl, but... I wanna go exploring!) and the poster is kind of spooky. Especially for only $1.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/chernobyl_diaries_advance_SG00574_C_zpscasrf7nm.jpg)
CHOCOLAT:
Hmm. This was a regret...a $3 regret. I liked CHOCOLAT a lot, but this review poster features Johnny Depp. I'm not anti-Johnny Depp, but I felt he did NOTHING for the movie and that his part was little more than a cameo. I didn't like his character and I felt that the section with him in it slowed the movie down. Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/chocolat_SG00575_C_zpslssuaaqt.jpg)
PIRANHA 3DD:
I actually bid a bit more on this than the rest of the things I bid for on emovie. Posters for PIRANHA 3D are fairly easy to come by, but posters for its sequel PIRANHA 3DD (which played in very few markets for a very short time) are harder to come by. I was shocked when I found out I got this one. I've never seen PIRANHA 3DD, but bought the 3D blu ray (I just need a 3D blu ray player and 3D TV to see it...Ha!). The poster will have to do for now.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/piranha_3dd_advance_BM03343_C_zps937lct2n.jpg)
SCOOBY DOO AND THE WITCH'S GHOST:
Yes, this is a video poster. It didn't play theatrically, so video is the only option. I have several other SCOOBY posters. I was fairly sure I was missing this one.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/scooby_doo_and_the_witchs_ghost_video_dupe3_BM02912_C_zpsbkyt9rfq.jpg)
WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY:
Emovie had two of these up for auction on the same day for some reason, both the same grade. I bid very modestly on both (I don't know why since I already have a couple of copies already). I was out bid on the first one but got the second one for less than my max bid. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/willy_wonka_and_the_chocolate_factory_R96_BM04467_C_zpsplkfooc9.jpg)
TRUE STORIES:
Never seen it, but feel I should (and would possibly like it).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/true_stories_gray_credits_style_SG00560_C_zpswgmkgx87.jpg)
TOMORROWLAND:
I picked up this TOMORROWLAND advance for only $1. Zowie! I saw the film at the bargain second-run theater in town. I know it under performed (i.e. flopped), but I thought it was pretty good. I think it will gain some sort of notoriety/cult status in the future, so I thought I'd pick up the poster. Got it for far cheaper than I thought I would. $1? Really?? Wow!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/tomorrowland_teaser_SG00573_C_zpsg1hhvcay.jpg)
Okay--so much for my emovie splurge, which was relatively painless. That brings us to the real reason I got off the wagon after a month...Heritage Auctions and the item I was notified about I really hoped to get. As I said, there were several other items I put on my watch list (deleting them as the days got closer to auction and their prices went up and up). On Sunday morning before getting ready for work, I put my bids in on the few items still in my watch list, hoping the magic of low-ball bidding that had worked on emovie would again work on Heritage, but I was reasonably sure most of (ALL of?) the items would be snatched up...and they were, with two exceptions.
During my work day (I'm a nurse), I do not have time for anything but patient care and charting, charting, CHARTING! Ugh! But I found myself with 5 minutes midway through the day and logged on to Heritage. It was in the middle of the live auction and amazingly the poster I wanted 2nd most during the whole auction was on the auction block at that very moment I logged on. I was the top bidder...and then was (gasp!) outbid. I told myself (Ha!) that I was meant to get this as it was being auctioned the moment I logged on. So I hit the bid button. I was on top again--then out bid. I hit it a time or two more but told myself I'd stop at $50 (I did NOT want a replay of the KING KONG/NUDES ON THE MOON/GREEN SLIME fiasco). Whoever was bidding against me also stopped--and it was mine for $50 (really $64 with buyer's premium). And here it is:
EEGAH:
EEGAH is something else I have not seen yet (I have it, just have not gotten around to watching it yet). I have a copy already, but it is a poor copy. I know it's going to be campy crapiliciously wonderful when I do eventually see it. EEGAH stars Richard Kiel, who is best known for playing the bad guy JAWS in a couple of James Bond flicks (SPY WHO LOVED ME and MOONRAKER). He has passed on now, but I also had the privilege of meeting him and interviewing him in his home a few years ago. I'll attach a photo of us below. In the picture, you can see he has an EEGAH print on his wall. I was kind of stunned to see that in his house/office he only had cheap prints of some of his films hanging on the walls--not originals. (I didn't say anything, but...) Anyway, I wanted a better EEGAH to remember my time with Mr. Kiel (EEGAH himself!) and because it's just a fun poster. Arch Hall Jr also stars...along with "the Cave Mummies". Primitive passions turned on! Love breaks the time barrier! Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/EEGAH_zpstvb2si3v.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Richard%20Kiel%202_zpsfdorjzq2.jpg)
The BIG attraction that literally pulled me "off the wagon" was a poster for the fourth film in an obscure film series that was started with a movie whose poster I recently fought really hard to get and paid way too much money for -- TWICE! Yes, the first film was WHITE SLAVES OF CHINATOWN. This poster was for MME. OLGA'S MASSAGE PARLOR. The OLGA films are these incredibly low budget sleaze flicks, poorly made, the plot and scenes are all put together with narration (there is no onscreen dialogue) with classical music thrown in for dramatic effect. WHITE SLAVES started it all (I have that poster now), followed by OLGA'S HOUSE OF SHAME (best title and best poster, in my opinion). I have the poster for OHOS, but the upper left corner is ripped almost completely off. I need a better copy. I do not have a copy of the poster for the third film, OLGA'S GIRLS. MME OLGA'S MASSAGE PARLOR is the 4th film in the series, and also the only film that is "lost" in the series. There are no known prints of MOMP, only the trailer is known to exist ( https://youtu.be/F5jvimLNCQg ). The trailer just adds to the mystery. The character Olga doesn't appear to be in the movie. There is a reference to Madame Elaine...but no Olga. Audrey Campbell, who played Olga in the first 3, is not in Part 4. Maybe Olga is "away" and leaving the massage parlor duties to her associate "Madame Elaine"? Unless the film surfaces, we may never know for sure... There was also a 5th one, "Olga's Dance Hall Girls", which features another actress in the Olga part. This one is the least liked by fans...but it's actually my favorite of the bunch. Ha! I am reasonably sure I have the poster for ODHG, but not 100% sure.
Anyway, the poster for MME OLGA'S MASSAGE PARLOR was coming up for auction. It was paired with another poster for something called INSIDE A GIRL'S DORMITORY (?) that was trimmed. The way I read the description, the OLGA poster was uncut and the other was trimmed. Combined it caused the lot to have a lower grade. But I looked at the poster as best I could on the scan and it looks pretty good to me. I really wanted it. But can't afford to go crazy for it. Not only is the film lost, but the whole series is so obscure and there can't be many posters for the five films floating around to begin with. By Sunday morning there were only 2 or 3 bids---very cheap. Still, I knew it wouldn't be that easy. Knowing I'd have to spend some money to even try but also knowing I'm broke, I bid some random amount ($127)--a lot, but not crazy high. It wasn't until I got home that I found out I got it--for my top bid, of course. (Why couldn't it have been mine for only $15 or so? Ha!) The total for it (with buyers premium) was $151.77 (where did they get the 77 cents from?). OUCH! I had to do the unthinkable. I had to C-H-A-R-G-E EEGAH and OLGA. Blah. Oh well. It's mine (even though it's not that fab of a poster...):
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/MME%20OLGAS%20MASSAGE%20PARLOR_zpsbbhnybef.jpg)
Oh yes, in case you are wondering,here's the trimmed INSIDE A GIRL'S DORMITORY poster as well. I will get rid of this eventually. I only want the OLGA poster...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/INSIDE%20A%20GIRLS%20DORMITORY%20trimmed_zpsnl4yxuvf.jpg)
Now I need to go beat my head against a rock... ARGH!
Catch ya later.
CHEERS!

Is that the one from last week? That comes from yours truly then amigo... From the great white north to you. Glad its got a good home although had I known we could have eliminated the middle man altogether!

Which one???

Sorry Piranha 3DD

Oh zowie. Well, I am happy to take care of it for you. Thanks!

Congrats on the Piranha 3DD. It was screened in just 75 theaters in the USA, and only for a few days. The one sheets are darn scarce, and cool. cool1
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Richard%20Kiel%202_zpsfdorjzq2.jpg)
You met and interviewed Richard Kiel? cool1 Do you have a video or article of the interview? Seems like he was a cool guy.
-
Agree, what a great photo and great post too! I smiled when I read about your HA bid. It happened to me too, I woke up to check up my bid and it just happened it was on at that very same time. I was outbid but won it in the end, i didnt have to pay much. Of course it that to be mine. Once I decided I wanted it..well, it had to be ;)
Enjoy your posters!!
-
Good work, and don't worry, you pay it off and be ok.
Eeggaahhhhhhhhh is terrific, I had one once and it sold to an Arch Hall fan, prob ten years ago and for considerably more than you paid.
Regarding the Olga,mr hats a beauty, I had a number of the HOUSE OF SHAME one sheets, the people at something weird found a stash of them, all unused, so that's why that one is more common, thou I suspect they are well and truly dried up by now, I should have kept a few.
By the way, apart from your good taste, I know respect you more, a nurse? I spent a long time/s in hospitals. I can't express how grateful I am to your profession. Seriously, thanks (I know you didn't help me, but I'll say anyway).

Hi guys...thanks for stopping by for a visit. I'm always happy to see you.
Neo: Congrats on the Piranha 3DD. It was screened in just 75 theaters in the USA, and only for a few days. The one sheets are darn scarce, and cool.
Zowie! Aren't you full of information. Yes, I remember how limited the showings were. I was so upset. I wanted to see it so bad--but was never able to. And yes, I'm glad I got my one sheet (apparently it's formerly Crazy Vick's one sheet. Thanks again, Vick!) because I realize how hard to find they are. Again, I am shocked I actually got this one.
You met and interviewed Richard Kiel? Do you have a video or article of the interview? Seems like he was a cool guy.
Yes, I met Richard Kiel. That photo was taken in his home office in fall 2010, I believe. I've spent the last few hours searching for a digital version of the article (one exists--I have it somewhere, but I think it's in my external hard drive that crashed, because I can not seem to find it any where else. I can always re-scan it if I come across the actual magazine again. ARGH!). I also went looking for the audio file from the interview. The only audio file I could find (on my old digital recorder) was a really awful phone interview with Sid Haig (last celeb interview I did). There may be another in my files--but I can NOT find it (yet). I'll keep looking though... But he was nice. He signed two photos for me (one, as Jaws, strangling James Bond. The other is as EEGAH!) and also two books he had written, his autobiography (Making it BIG in Hollywood...or something like that, and his historical biographical novel on the life of Casius Clay which was just AWFUL!).
ROSA: Agree, what a great photo and great post too! I smiled when I read about your HA bid. It happened to me too, I woke up to check up my bid and it just happened it was on at that very same time. I was outbid but won it in the end, i didnt have to pay much. Of course it had to be mine. Once I decided I wanted it..well, it had to be ;) Enjoy your posters!!
Ha! How awesome that happened to us like that. Our posters were clearly meant to be ours! ;)
ARI: Good work, and don't worry, you pay it off and be ok.
Eeggaahhhhhhhhh is terrific, I had one once and it sold to an Arch Hall fan, prob ten years ago and for considerably more than you paid.
Oooo. Good for you AND good for me.
Regarding the Olga,mr hats a beauty, I had a number of the HOUSE OF SHAME one sheets, the people at something weird found a stash of them, all unused, so that's why that one is more common, thou I suspect they are well and truly dried up by now, I should have kept a few.
I wish you had... I think the OLGA'S HOUSE OF SHAME poster is the best poster of the 5 films. I really need to get another/better one. Some day... By the way, you mentioned Something Weird. They sell a disc with three OLGA films on it: WHITE SLAVES OF CHINATOWN, OLGA'S HOUSE OF SHAME and OLGA'S DANCE HALL GIRLS. Synapse has OLGA'S GIRLS on DVD as well.
By the way, apart from your good taste, I know respect you more, a nurse? I spent a long time/s in hospitals. I can't express how grateful I am to your profession. Seriously, thanks (I know you didn't help me, but I'll say anyway).
On behalf of nurses everywhere, we THANK YOU for your gratitude. :)
TED/BRUDE: This is priceless.
cheers
I kind of like that one as well. There is a second photo of us, same position, but we are shaking hands and he has his other hand on my shoulder.
Thanks again all for popping by. Have a go-go groovy evening!
Cha-cha-cha CHEERS!

More great write ups, MAGG and the pic of you and Richard Kiel is fantastic.
A pic worth a 1000 words (and more)!!

It's a cool flick, although not really on the same level as Piranha 3D which is epic. It was cool to see on the big screen, especially in 3D. I drove about an hour to the only theater near here that was screening it.
Sounds like a great experience meeting Mr. Kiel. Good luck finding the interviews. If you ever find them and want to post them here or somewhere, that would be cool.
-
Jeff: Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words. I'm guessing you are back from your trip? I hope you had a swell time.
Neo: Crazy Vick sold it to me indirectly through emovieposter. I'm still thrilled though. And regarding the Richard Kiel article, I just called my replacement at the newspaper and had her find a copy of the magazine for me. She did and is sending it. Once it arrives, I will scan it and post it here and also send it to you in a PM in case you miss seeing it posted here. The actual recorded conversation (interview), if I still have a copy and is on that crashed hard drive, will have to wait until I can get the data extracted. I don't even know if I kept the interview as I did so many interviews and just erased them as I went (which was really DUMB of me). I did find another short and crappy phone interview with Conrad Brooks (actor in Ed Wood movies). Oh man. He was a piece of work. Ha. I had to buy something from him before he would let me interview him, then called several times afterwards trying to get me to buy other stuff. So funny. Anyway., the Kiel article (from 2009 not 2010) will be coming soon.
Cheers!

Uh oh... I did a bad, BAD thing. Hot on the heels of the big purchase I couldn't afford earlier this week, I bought another poster. ARGH! I couldn't help myself. It was one of the few H.G. Lewis vintage horror posters I needed (bringing my "need" list down to just TWO titles of his) and, although it was pricey (for me), I didn't want to chance not seeing another for 10 years or so since I rarely see them. So I bid. I'll spare you the story of how I paid for it--but I will say I had NO money in the bank and NO room on the credit cards. EEEK! I do get paid tomorrow--so it was just an "advance". But I couldn't let this one slip away...
The poster is for H.G. Lewis'...
THE GRUESOME TWOSOME:
Although NOT the best poster...and NOT the best of Lewis' handful of horror flicks from the 60s/early 70s, this is one of the first of his that I actually saw (on VHS). Not as gory as BLOOD FEAST or any of his other flicks by far, GRUESOME TWOSOME tries hard in its tale of a little old lady and her crazy son who have a wig shop that sells wigs with real human hair. Guess where they get it from? Predating "Maniac" by about 10 years, the scalping effects are very primitive and cheesy...but effective enough for this primitive and cheesy movie. It also contains two talking styrofoam wig heads at the beginning and end of the film. Weird. Wonderful. And now the poster is MINE!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gruesome%20Twosome_zps7duxwekv.jpg)
Also a bit of mystery today. A few years back when I went back to school to become a nurse, I moved everything out of my 4-bedroom house into a tiny,cramped mother-in-law apartment behind the garage of a house my mother owns and rents out to a family. It's awful. All of my stuff is in here piled up all around me. I have little paths that lead here and there--like a hoarders house, but if/when I ever get back into my house, everything will have a place again.
Anyway, the mysterious part was that I was rearranging some of my more than 200 framed posters (BIG mistake on my part, trying to frame all of my posters---do you know how much room that takes? UGH!), and I was looking at a few as I was moving them. "Dawn of the Dead", "Suspiria", "Night of the Living Dead", blank... Huh? BLANK? Yes, there was a frame with NO poster in it. I can NOT for the life of me think of any reason there would be a blank, empty frame. Once a poster was framed, it stayed framed. I sold two posters that had been framed (stupid of me---they were the original "LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT" and "GIGANTIS THE FIRE MONSTER", aka "GODZILLA 2". I'll never get replacements for them now that things are sooo pricey), and popped new things in those frames right away. I haven't sold a poster in ages nor do I just let frames sit empty. So where did it go--and what poster was it? BIZARRE! I just can't imagine why it's empty and what was in it. Hmm.
But I think I'll fill it with my recently purchased "KING KONG" '56 purchase. I've wanted that poster for sooooo long.
Anyway, thanks for stopping in.
See you next time.
CHEERS!

I hate the feeling of maybe lost something, and I am very unorganised, or rather too much stuff, too little space also.
If you try and NOT think about it, the solution will hit you I am sure.
good work on another HGL. Do you have the book by Chris Curry?

Hi guys. Thanks for stopping by.
ARI: I HATE my life right now. I know where NOTHING is and it's just like living in a storage shed (one of my many nicknames for this place). Thanks for the tip on the book by Chris Curry. I immediately looked it up on Amazon. $62!! GEEZ! Luckily, someone had a "used--like new" copy up for only $9. Instantly SOLD! (Not that I need anything else in this place, but...). And the mystery of the frame continues. Curiously I discovered the backing board is taped to the back of the frame---so it can't easily be opened. Why would I do that when the frame is empty? WEIRD.
TED/BRUDE: Yes, more than 200 framed posters. You forget, I've been buying posters for YEARS and YEARS.My first were purchased when I was in elementary school and I'm 50 now. I really started buying regularly in the mid-90s when I finally had a more or less stable salary (I was a teacher, then a journalist, and now a nurse with tons of student loan and credit card debt). I fully disclosed I had more than 200 framed posters twice--in the introductory thing I posted when I first got on and in my very first entry for this thread. I posted my crappy (very LOW definition) video I made back in 2008 showing them. The video, once again, is here: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDCf3DYtxOU&feature=youtu.be ). I just re-watched it myself. In it you will see the SUSPIRIA and DAWN OF THE DEAD posters, but this was before I had the NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD posters (I got the original in 2009). You'll also see the gone (and still kicking myself over) LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and GIGANTIS THE FIRE MONSTER posters. Most aren't all that good/collectible/sought after--but they appeal to me. Between that video (2008) and now, there's 6 years of poster buying (I must STOP!!!)---and again, the video only shows my framed posters at that time. NOT the ones in boxes and rolls.
It's only been the last 3 or 4 years or so that posters have gotten crazy high. I started keeping print outs of the auction pages so I knew how much I spent on them. I still do that but now I just keep digital copies. I sold the LAST HOUSE and GIGANTIS posters for $10 or so each around 2009-ish on eBay. ARGH! I'll NEVER be able to get them back unless I want to spend another small fortune.
You don't have a FRANKENSTEIN 6-sheet? Really? I have 3. NOT!!! I have NO Frankenstein (even re-release stuff) unfortunately. I suck.
CHEERS!

200 hundred framed posters?
200 FRAMED POSTERS?
wow1
Good lord. That is luv and dedication. Won't ask which one you enjoy the most ( my fav poster is framed and on the wall at eye level) which means rather low... But i can see it properly!! You have my admiration.
-
Yes...I watched all of the 7 day challenge...lol. Ed Wood has nothing on you..ha. But seriously, I too keep most of my posters framed. Where do you get your frames? I have used Sue (here on the threads) and Spotlight frames...good folks. I tried a wholesale frame company (on the web) and did not like the quality.
Nice posters man!
-
MAGG, maybe you got a bulk frame buy discount?? pcorn
-
Hi everyone. Thanks for popping over and saying hi.
ROSA: It sounds like you understand. I haven't got any of my posters up now as I'm living in my temporary shack-o-rama! I miss SEEING them everywhere. Waaaagh!
Ba527401: Hi there. I don't think we've met before, but welcome to the poster party. Oh dear... I am so sorry you endured the 7 day video challenge (you watched ALL of them? Really? WHY!?!). That was way back in 2008, YouTube was new to me and seemed fun at the time. I've since learned my lesson and STOPPED. Ha! But, aside from that one video, none of them are really about my posters, poster collecting, etc. My poster framing madness happened quite a few years back. (starting in 2005 or so). I really have not framed anything since because I don't have room for any more frames. I do want to get some lighted frames down the road (especially for the lenticular posters), but not until I'm in a house again. I wasn't on the website yet, so didn't know of Sue. I just bought most of them through something called Wholesale Poster Frames (probably the one you mentioned you didn't like)---not the best, but I bought so many I needed the least expensive I could find. I also got a lot of them from an art supply store. Those with the thicker frames (in the video) are from the art store and I used those to hold my favorites/most expensive posters at the time. Thanks for stopping by though--again sorry you watched the other videos (o' the horror!).
Jeff/erik1925: There was a discount, but not much. I've checked prices a few times over the years---and they've really gone up.
-
MAGG, can I ask what kind of backing board is in all of your frames?
Is it an acid free type of board or foam core, hopefully? (or at least what is coming in contact with the back of each poster).
-
Foam core, I believe. Zowie! Thanks for reminding me. When I am able I really need to get on the acid-free bandwagon and save my stuff from deteriorating. Geez!
-
Foam core, I believe. Zowie! Thanks for reminding me. When I am able I really need to get on the acid-free bandwagon and save my stuff from deteriorating. Geez!
Hopefully the foam core provided in each frame was the acid free kind. Then you would be A-OK. ;)
-
Jeff: I don't think the foam core I got is acid free. I just went to the website of the merchant I bought the bulk of the frames from, added one of their bulk packs to my cart and looked at the contents. All come with regular (not acid-free) foam core backing. UGH! I have a LOT of replacing to do as soon as possible. ARGH!!!
-
Don't know how I missed that video when you first posted the link.
You have a great collection, man.
More power to ye!

-
TED: Thank you, kind sir...but it's NOTHING like YOURS!!! Zowie!
-
GoGo 200 framed really? faint2.gif I am close, but I don't even have 200 posters yet! You indeed have a nice collection!
-
Yes, but Gingerman---you have something I don't have. YOUTH. (In other words, I've had a lot more years to buy posters than you have...and they were much cheaper back then than they are now.).
Just wait. You'll reach 200. Then 300. Then 500. Then... It's a non-stop addiction. Welcome to the 12-step program that nobody succeeds at. We're ALL hooked. Whoo hoo!
CHEERS!

Not long ago (earlier this week?) I had "won" the poster for "EEGAH" and posted a photo of myself with the star of "EEGAH", Richard Kiel, best known for playing the villainous JAWS character in the James Bond thrillers THE SPY WHO LOVED ME and MOONRAKER. I met him for an interview I did on him back in 2009. Neo asked for the recorded interview or a copy of the printed final version. I couldn't find either, so I asked the newspaper to send me a copy of the magazine. I got it today and scanned the article. Oh my. I cringe when I see it now. I haven't thought about this article in years, but when I see it today--ugh! This was right about the time the newspaper industry started to tank. The powers that be decided to make things more appealing to readers by revamping the stories to be more reader friendly and local. The formatting "Why he's famous"/"Valley connection" are all a part of that. I especially cringed when I was reminded of the "Fast Facts" aspect at the beginning of the article. (Which eventually morphed into "Fun Facts") Blah! All NOT my idea. But that is why a lot of my celebrity interviews eventually faded away...as they were trying to be more local. I only got to interview celebs after that if I was doing a travel story that somehow incorporated them (like an article on visiting Hollywood at Halloween mentioned a celebrity show where people can meet their favorite stars. There is one every October, so I had a celebrity in that. I also had to do some awful articles on some of the National Parks. I sort of know Susan Olsen who was Cindy on the Brady Bunch. I used her when writing about Pearl Harbor and the Grand Canyon! I had been to neither place at that time and she had--on the show decades earlier! Ha! I got away with it too. But you should have seen my editors faces. "Cindy Brady? REALLY?" They'd just look at me and shake their heads. Ha!
Anyway--as crappy as it is (and the first scan is really hard to read--sorry!), here is the Richard Kiel article as well as the other photo I had taken with him that day.

-
Well done, sir.
Crisp, clean, informative.
cheers
-
But the way it's edited/formatted/stuffed into only three pages, there's very little "interview" left to it. I think there are what? 4 or 5 sentences quoted? LAME...
-
You're being hard on yourself.
It is well done.
I've worked with many editors on interview formatting and my personal preference is how you handled it.
You've worked his quotes into your content quite nicely.
It is a damn fine read.
-
Interview famous folks, writing about (and visiting?) national parks, etc. That's awesome.
As Ted said, it's a good, thorough, fairly brief summary of Mr. Kiel's work history. It's unfortunate that you weren't able to do things how you wanted to, but the opportunity you had is darn cool. It's a well done piece. Thanks for sharing.
cheers

Hi guys, Thanks for reading and saying nice things.
The article is what it is. When you interview someone, you never know what you are going to get. And, until the article is written, you really never know what you are going to turn out. The editing process is another aspect that is completely OUT of your control..."FAST FACTS" (groan) and all.
TED/BRUDE: You've "worked with editors"??? What do you do? Hmm.
Neo: Are you kidding? Actually getting to TRAVEL to places I write about for my travel stories?? Ha! ha! ha! Ha! HA! Nope--never happened. (Well, unless I had happened to go there on my own and then turned it into an article that is). I won an award for a travel article about an old fashioned train that had been restored and was running passengers. I was told my article really gave the reader the feeling of what the trip must be like. I never even saw the dang train. I did all sorts of travel articles. I was the travel (and celebrity) guy for my department. Most of it was all based on phone or email interviews. But I really liked writing. It didn't pay anything but it was creative. Nursing pays better, but--although it's a nurturing and noble career-- it's not as satisfying to my creative side. Oh well.
Thanks for coming by.
CHEERS!

Oh my stars! It has been soooooo long since I bought anything. However, just the other day a package arrived for me. Hmm. What could it be? Some fabulous poster I forgot all about? Inheritance from some long, lost relative I didn't know existed? The Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes? No to all of those things. Instead i got an incredible surprise package from... ARI!!!! Zowie! It was fabulous and soooo unexpected. (He had told me he was sending me a little something--but I never expected something so amazingly cool...and, quite frankly, I had forgotten he said he was going to send something.)
Here is what he sent:
A small poster advertising Ted V. Mikels' first Australian Tour with several nights of his films being shown. The tour never happened--Mikels got sick--but the poster remains.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20150925_222454_zpssdosrfkk.jpg)
Then, it's a flyer for a Mikels dounble feature--"THE WORM EATERS" with "THE CORPSE GRINDERS". It also looks like there is a premiere of another film ("FISHING LICENSE") coming right afterwards (Never heard of that one, but I'll have to look it up).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20150925_222537_zpsexhfg0wf.jpg)
And did you notice? The flyer is autographed by Ted V. Mikels:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20150925_222555_zpsbpa9kko5.jpg)
Next, it's the press book for "THE WORM EATERS"! Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20150925_222513_zpszliei5ut.jpg)
...which is also autographed by Ted v. Mikels:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20150925_222527_zpswxej0ya5.jpg)
Finally, I got a flyer and a postcard from Ari advertising his memorabilia with personal notes inscribed on the back:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20150925_222643_zpslcqw5lf3.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20150925_222659_zpsmamsfs92.jpg)
And, best of all, they are autographed by the coolest guy down under himself, Mr. Ari Richards! Wow!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20150925_222710_zpsk9fxudl9.jpg)
Zowie! Thank you soooooo much Ari. Your generosity was a wonderful surprise and totally blew me away. You rock! I love my fabulous surprises!! YIPPIE!!!
CHEERS!
PS I don't know why some of the images are showing up sideways when they are right side up in Photobucket. Grr.
-
Thats quite the surprise package, there, Shawn.. and from the Ari man himself!
So great and quite the cool collection!!
Congrats!
cheers !
-
You're welcome, just a thanks, as some know I spent many months in hospital, and while I know doctors do good stuff, I'm living proof, it's NURSES who do the hard yards, without the support from people who seem to have endless supply of caring I doubt I could have handled it all. THEY DONT GET PAID ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH.
Anyway, enjoy some TVM paper, I know I do.
-
Thank you, Ari. I'm glad I could be the surrogate for ALL of the nurses who helped you. My patients like me too. On behalf of nurses everywhere, I am glad you are dfoing better and THANK YOU so much for such a delightful surprise-a-rama!
CHEERS!

clap clap clap clap clap

Ari, that is a beautiful gesture. You are special! :-*
Shawn, well deserved; and agree with Mr Richards. You guys deserve a medal (or posters) :P

Hi there! I'm back from my trip, but STILL on a medical leave for me leg. UGH! No more paychecks and the disability insurance has still NOT kicked in. No nibbles on my house either. I am doomed. However, as much as I was going to, i have not exactly shied away from buying posters altogether...because I am an ADDICT and because I have one credit card (that was almost paid off) that I took on the trip with me. I ended up NOT using it that much and, when my friends went off to go hiking or something I couldn't do because of my knee, I'd sit on the terrace, watch the sea turtles frolicking in the surf, and go poster shopping! ARGH!!!! (I also sent Ari a postcard. Did you get it yet? Ha! Thanks again for the wonderful, WONDERFUL surprise package! Wow!)
My posters this time are my attempts to add a little more international flair to my collection. The first batch are from Spain...ole!
BLACK CANDLES: Although the Spanish title "The Sexual Rites of the Devil" is way cooler sounding than the US title, "Black Candles" (which i own on DVD and have seen---and have absolutely NO memory of. Did it ever play theatrically?), the Spanish poster had an undeniable creepy coolness factor. Sex,depravity and aberration? Sold!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Black%20Candles%20Spain_zpsiuld1xsa.jpg)
MARK OF THE WOLFMAN/FRANKENSTEIN'S BLOODY TERROR: Although Frankenstein's monster appears nowhere in this and it was only saddled with the title "Frankenstein's Bloody Terror" to appease theater owners who were promised a Frankenstein movie, this is actually the very first of the long string of Paul Naschy werewolf movies. I got it fairly cheap and thought it was a good deal. Not only is it the first Naschy werewolf flick, but it's also a country of origin poster as well. Apparently it was also made in 3D, which was presented here as being "Super 70 Chill-a-Rama"! Zowie! Wish I had seen it back in the day...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/LA%20MARCA%20DEL%20HOMBRE%20LOBO_zpsyiuqfyed.jpg)
MURDER MANSION: I know nothing about this movie (but have since ordered it from eBay--uber cheap). However reviews on IMDB make it seem like a spooky little horror flick that might be right up my alley. Poster is so-so...still kind of cool and also a country of origin poster. Why not!?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Murder%20Mansion%20Spain_zpsekkxhbar.jpg)
CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST: I would love to have the US one sheet for this--alas, it has yet to happen. However, I came across this Spanish poster for the famous Italian gut-muncher cannibal epic and was blown away by the graphic and horrific images on the poster--and couldn't pass it up. Jeepers! That would have freaked me out if I saw that in the theater lobby as the next attraction as a kid! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Cannibal%20Holocaust%20Spain_zps5fzxtlcw.jpg)
CANNIBAL TERROR: While I still had my craving (for human flesh? Ha! No--POSTERS!), I thought I'd pick up this silly and very cheap-o-rama Spanish poster for "Cannibal Terror". I actually saw this flick just before my trip on DVD. Hilariously bad. At one point while in the native village, cars can be seen driving by in the distance. Ha! This is a Spanish-French co-production that came late in the cannibal wave of the 70s and early 80s. But you know how those pesky cannibals in the unexplored regions off of the Riviera or in the Pyrenees Mountains are (maybe they're just confused Basques?). What a silly-lame poster for a silly-lame movie. Had to have it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Cannibal%20Terror%20Spain_zpsd99yg1w0.jpg)
Of course, I've really been wanting to try Thai. I finally bit the bullet and went shopping--with mixed results (but hey--this was my first Thai experience! Be gentle with me... Ha!)
CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST 2 / THE GREEN INFERNO: Okay--last cannibal poster. Promise! This is a Thai poster for "Cannibal Holocaust 2"--in name only. I researched it a bit and apparently the film started life as a TV movie called "The Green Inferno" (no relation to Eli Roth's current film of the same name)...that is actually devoid of cannibals altogether! Ha! How could I say no after getting my other two cannibal posters? And hello? It's Thai! I had to try it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Cannibal%20Holocaust%202%20Thai_zpsxouh4ikz.jpg)
LATITUDE ZERO: I've never heard of this flick, but there's so much fun and imaginative stuff going on in this Thai poster that I thought I'd pick it up. It wasn't too expensive any way.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Latitude%20Zero_zpsevuqzmgb.jpg)
SPIDER LABYRINTH: My big Thai regret is this poster for "Spider Labyrinth". Why regret? Well, the image is creepy cool enough, but it's the same image used on the Italian poster (and this is an Italian movie). I've also seen it on English posters. There's just nothing Thai-ish about it. Nothing that makes those groovy Thai posters that others have been buying just POP and do their US one sheet counterparts shame. Oh well...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Spider%20Labyrinth%20Thai_zpsp8yk5g43.jpg)
THE AWAKENING: Another quasi-disappointment (the jury is still out on this one). "The Awakening" is a dud of a movie. I probably should have passed on this poster--but, like the "Latitude Zero" poster, there is so much happening in this one I thought why not? Hmm...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Awakening%20Thai_zpscarw7sha.jpg)
THE BOOGEY MAN: This is a great example of a Thai poster taking a US one sheet image and bumping it to the next level. Like the US version, there is a frightened woman at a window. The extra shards of glass (or, in keeping with the movie's plot, perhaps they are pieces of mirror?) with horrific scenes from the film on them really punches this poster up. Not as cool as some of the fully original Thai pieces (such as the awesome "Apocalypse Now" or "Escape From New York" Thais), but it worked well enough for me to buy this one.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Boogey%20Man%20Thai_zps3addhxdp.jpg)
I do have a few more, but they can wait. Anyone know of an AA-type program for poster addicts? I have NO BUSINESS shopping now. EEEK!
CHEERS!
-
Having no money (including no room left on any credit cards) is the best way I found to stop the buying habit.
-
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!!!! That might stop me, but then again...
-
More poster goodness, for the Shock-a-Rama Show, there, MAGG..
Congrats on the mini haul of paper!! thumbsup.gif

OLÈ indeed to your Spanish posters!

Thanks Jeff and the ever delightful Rosa!
Continuing my International shopping spree (that I can't afford--but did it any way. Bad! Bad! BAD!!!! Ooooo the things we do when we are laid up and have nothing but a computer at our disposal and are bored-Bored-BORED!!!), here are these others. (Get your passports ready!):
From Spain (Ole again...just a carry over from yesterday), two more "country of origin" posters:
THE SINISTER EYES OF DR. ORLOFF: For better or worse, "The Awful Dr. Orloff" introduced schlock-meister Jess Franco to the world. During the early years of his career, he frequently returned to his popular Orloff creation in an attempt to stay relevant perhaps, or maybe just to make some quick cash? Whatever, Orloff has appeared in at least four films bearing his name in the title. (He's also in "Faceless" as well...). Although I may already have a copy of this poster, this third film in the series' (after "Dr. Orloff and the Invisible Monster") poster was cheap. Sold!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Sinister%20Eyes%20of%20Dr%20Orloff%20Spain_zpserfmhipr.jpg)
THE SINISTER DR. ORLOFF: What could be more sinister than Orloff's sinister eyes? How about the entire sinister man himself? Here is the poster for the fourth Orloff film...also very cheap (and sinister).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Sinister%20Dr%20Orloff_zps1zdiuox9.jpg)
I also have what appears to be an Egyptian poster (my first), printed in English (which is apparently rare?).
THE TIGRE OF ESCHNAPUR: This is not the usual shlock-o-rama stuff I usually buy, but I was just so taken with the old school litho-look of it, I had to have it (but am not sure if it's a litho or not). I was told it's a 1960s poster (the film is from 1959 and directed by Fritz Lang). Blah blah blah...here it is:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Tigre%20of%20Eschnapur_zpshaaipsm6.jpg)
From Mexico, I scored this little gem:
DR. SATAN AND BLACK MAGIC: I had never heard of this, but once I stumbled upon it I couldn't let this go. O' those crazy filmmakers south of the border...they do come up with some wild and cheesy stuff--especially in the 50s, 60s, and early 70s. Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Dr%20Satan%20Y%20La%20Magia%20Negra_zpscjnks1d8.jpg)
Now let's mosey all of the way over to Belgium for my very first Belgian poster! (Yes, in addition to Thai and Egyptian, I've finally lost my Belgian virginity, too!)
I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN: I have always resisted the Belgian posters. They often look like window cards (with the big space on top) and usually are just ultra colorful seemingly re-strikes of exisiting poster art (for the most part--NOT always). They didn't work for me. Then I saw this gorgeous Belgian "I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN" poster and I was sold. Look at that art and use of color. Zowie! Soooo awesome. And it's NOT the usual Belgian poster size I'm used to seeing. Oooo... ahhhh Better than Belgian chocolates (and fewer calories)!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/I%20Was%20A%20Teenage%20Frankenstein%20Belgian_zpsh1o1jwib.jpg)
Next stop is Turkey. Do you have your entry visas ready? Don't try smuggling anything in or out of the country. I'd hate for the authorities to go all "Midnight Express" on you. Yikes!
DEVIL FISH: While the film over all is a dud and NOTHING like the poster art actually happens in the film, you gotta love the wild artwork any way. For something like this, I would have probably preferred getting the Italian original (same art, i think...). But this Turkish came along and...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/turkish_devil_fish_SD03299_C_zpscpkkc4re.jpg)
All aboard for Japan...
JAWS 3D: I like my "JAWS" movies--yes, even the awful sequels (I saw "JAWS 3D" at least twice in the theater---in 3D, and know I sat through "JAWS THE REVENGE" twice at the drive in and may have seen it once in a walk in). The "JAWS 3D" poster has different art and I kind of dug it. It's now my 2nd piece of Japanese poster art. I have a B2. This is my first chirashi. Why do I feel like sushi all of a sudden?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Jaws%203D%20chirashi_zpstttuxmrs.jpg)
Heading back over Asia, our next stop is Lebanon...
NIGHT OF THE SHARKS: Speaking of sharks, although I've never seen "Night of the Sharks", I really dug this Lebanese poster for the film...and it's printed in English. Always a nice bonus and nice shark art work.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Night%20of%20the%20Sharks%20lebanese_zpsozoueejz.jpg)
MAKO: THE JAWS OF DEATH: After the fin-tastic artwork in the Lebanese poster for "Night of the Sharks", what could be more terrifying than the Lebanese artwork for "Mako: The Jaws of Death"?!? Oh my STARS! I laughed out loud when I saw this. It looks like it was done by a 4th grader. Love it--but what a change in art quality from one poster to the next in the same country. As a bonus, it IS also in English. The poster is soooo bad--too funny. I needed it. The shark attack art is almost as bad as the Ghana movie posters I so recently learned about. Some of those are beyond awful/awesome (but let's save that discussion just a bit longer. Shall we?).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Jaws%20of%20Death%20Lebanese_zps8khwly4l.jpg)
Last stop, down in Africa for some special poster art from Ghana! Oh my STARS!
THE SLAUGNTER/THE SLAUGHTER?/ZOMBIE??? Wow! Where do I begin? I had seen references here and there on APF to posters from Ghana...but never actually saw one and didn't know what the big deal was. I was Googling something else the other day (Thai posters, perhaps?) and this insane image came up in the search. Clicking on it, I was taken to this website that had some crazy cool posters from around the world...and there were a number of posters from Ghana. Oh my stars! They were awful yet awesome at the same time. How did I miss these? Easy. It turns out they were all hand painted (never printed) and were done often by artisits who had never seen the movie they were illustrating---only having been given a synopsis of what the movie is about. They were done to promote travelling video shows (guess there are no movie theaters? I've never been.) in the 80s and early 90s. Since then, the primitive (yet so cool) art has caught on and has become big in the art world, with pieces fetching thousands of dollars and there have even been gallery exhibits and books written about them. Wow! I'm probably repeating things everyone else already knows--but I am way, way late to the Ghana movie poster party. (For those that do NOT know what I am talking about, here's a Google image search for Ghana movie posters. Check it out. There's some crazy, bat-shit awesomeness in there: https://www.google.com/search?q=ghana+movie+posters&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAWoVChMIsKnT2N65yAIVDMJjCh1xUwmB&biw=1680&bih=959 (https://www.google.com/search?q=ghana+movie+posters&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAWoVChMIsKnT2N65yAIVDMJjCh1xUwmB&biw=1680&bih=959)). Anyway, I know that because they have caught on so much, there are a lot of "fakes" out there and mine may well be a fake...but I still wanted something from this whole Ghana thing. It's just so wild. My poster was apparently not selling after a long while. The price was down and I can understand why. Most Ghana posters are painted on canvas, but not all. Some are on cardboard or anything else they could find to use. Mine is on the back of a rice bag. Really. The seller also could not identify the movie featured on the poster. The title reads "THE SLAUGNTER". HUH? If they meant "THE SLAUGHTER",it was clearly spelled wrong...and you still have no idea what movie it is. But then I actually LOOKED at the poster and what it was trying to convey. In the upper left corner, you have a corpse's face that appears to be focusing on something. To the right of it is a screaming woman in a tropical setting. At the bottom, you have a woman (with fangs) eating a man at the neck area and behind them there is a herd of strange-looking people walking towards them. Oh my stars. Except for the fangs, this could almost be..."Zombie"! At the end of the movie, the 2nd female lead (now one of the undead) DOES bite into her husbands shoulder/neck. The people walking towards them do look like zombies. It takes place on a tropical island. Could it be? I'll never know. It could just be a rushed fake...but it's still cool. (Although not as cool as some of the others out there. Wow! Just wacko stuff. Ha!) I'm glad I got it and it was relatively inexpensive. (And--zowie! It's just H-U-G-E!!)

And that concludes our international tour for today. As we come in for a landing, please make sure your table trays are folded and put away and that your seats are in the full upright position. Thanks for flying Monster A GoGo Airlines. Have a groovy day.
CHEERS!

Cool stuff, once again, MAGG.. and i'm thinking that Darvishjo will be able to help with the Egyptian Lang poster, its year, the print type (litho or offset) and its value, too.. happy1
Nice scores....
-
:)
To me LOS OJOS SINIESTROS DEL DOCTOR OLOFF is one of the best posters by Spanish poster artist FRANCISCO FERNÁNDEZ-PEREZ. I think you have an excellent collection and fantastic eye. He will be pleased to be part of such a excellent collection. clap
-
Love the Tigre art, plus hope the Ghana poster is legit but still interesting if not thumbsup.gif
-
Love all of the international goodies, Go-Go.
You say that the Ghana piece 'H-U-G-E!' How big is it?
Great stuff!
cheers
-
GoGo
I love that Jaws B2!!!! That thai Boogeyman is very nice also. Great stuff all the way around, but those 2 are my favorites!!!
cheers

GoGo
I love that Jaws B2!!!! That thai Boogeyman is very nice also. Great stuff all the way around, but those 2 are my favorites!!!

I think MAGG mentions that this was chirashi (B5) size? And I agree with you, Chris. It is a great poster image. So different from the other Jaws 3D poster art out there. thumbup

agreed, I have one of these also, (and thanks for giving me JANO's full name) :)
The GHANA rules, I got to get one also.

Hi there all. Thank you, as always, for visiting my thread. I know it's not classiest place to hang out on APF--kind of low-budget seedy,actually...so I do appreciate you stopping in.
JEFF: Who is Darvishjo. Hmm. I suppose I can look him up on the member page, but I'd hate to bug him about my simple poster. If he happens upon it--great. If not, c'est la vie.
ROSA: I am uber impressed you know of the artist of the ORLOFF poster and can identify his work just like that. I will need to look him up and see some of his other works. I am honored to know that both you and Ari also have this same poster. That makes me feel good to know I am in such good company. Zowie!
STEVE: Thanks for the thumbs up on those posters of mine. Of the most current posting, those two plus the Belgian TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN, are my faves. The Ghana one is just so there. As I said, it's huge and it's the one and only original artwork. Whether it is a legitimate piece that was actually used to advertise the movies or not,I do not know. But it's still just awesome to look at in real life.
TED: Yes, the Ghana is HUGE (to me). I'm used to one sheets. By and large, that has been my thing all along. I have no way to measure it at the moment, but I stuck a one sheet and measured it up at the lower left corner and you can see how far above and to the right it goes in the photo below (excuse the mess around it. Ha!):
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/size%20compare_zpsbe9muqfv.jpg)
Somehow it looks even BIGGER in real life. The corpse head on the top right corner is just in-your-face awesome. Wow! I love it.
GINGERMAN: I also dig that Thai BOOGEY MAN. That's my favorite piece from the previous posting. The JAWS 3D is a chirashi, as Jeff says. Not a B2. It's only my 2nd ever Japanese piece...I do not even have it in my hands yet...I have no idea what to expect exactly (I hear it's small though). The Japanese sizes are a complete mystery. We'll BOTH learn about them together.
JEFF: Thank you, as always, for dishing out knowledge and information. Glad you also like the JAWS 3D thing. (B5? How many sizes do they have and why do they all start with B?)
ARI: Isn't the Ghana stuff fun? So amateurish--but so gonzo cool at the same time... Look them up on line if you get the chance. There are some really amazing ones out there and some really awful/funny ones as well. The cool thing about them--aside from the art in general--is that no two are the same and they are all hand painted. Wowzer! And I've been meaning to ask you... Didn't I read some comment somewhere on here recently where you said you had moved to the most remote town in all of Australia and it was a 6 hour bus ride from the nearest town? WHY would you do that? Hmm...
Anyway, thank you all for stopping by. You are always welcome here.
CHEERS!
-
Ive seen Ghana posters for years, just never bought one, i should.
re REMOTE, Perth is the capital city of western Australia, which I am 6hrs bus ride away from. And known as the most remote city.
I live south, on the south coast, its very nice down here (where i grew up). (albany)
life is slow and easy, which suits me. But I move a lot. Perth & Sydney usually. haha
re the ORLOF by Jano, I went through a stage of getting as much Jesus Franco Spanish posters as I could. I love his movies.
-
Hey MAGG... i'm sure Darvishjo (John) will see your thread and might give his thoughts, as well as knowing that artist's sig.
Here's hoping!! ;D
And Google is a wonderful tool. It can make anyone look like a brain surgeon. imbecile.gif
-
ROSA: I am uber impressed you know of the artist of the ORLOFF poster and can identify his work just like that. I will need to look him up and see some of his other works. I am honored to know that both you and Ari also have this same poster. That makes me feel good to know I am in such good company. Zowie!
far above and to the right it goes in the photo below (excuse the mess around it. Ha!):
CHEERS!
Hi, thanks!! Dont be impressed! Everyone in Spain knows Jano and why he has this nickname! We are very familiar with Jano's works. We have two main artist, and he is the best well known one. I went to an exhibition years ago and saw much of his work. It is easy to identify, trust me, he has a particular style. It will happen to you if you get more of his posters. And I think this poster is soooo good!!
Glad it is in such a safe hands!
-
Hello! I have more posters to share from my bum knee, nothing-to-do-but-sit-on-the-terrace-and-shop-with-my-credit-card-that-still has-lots-of-room trip to Maui. (Soooo stupid of me. I'm living in a house of cards that is inching towards total collapse--and I just sit and laugh about it. I just ran to rescue $11.21 from an old bank account I had completely forgotten about that I got a notice from saying they were going to forfeit it to the state if I didn't close it out or make a deposit by today. Ha! Maybe this is my "mid-life crisis"? Ha! I don't know...)
Anyway...
ARI: I looked you up on the map of Australia. Your town still seems like a good-sized town (shows up bigger than other towns on the map). That's good. I thought you were in some desolate, far off place in the back country with a population of about 7 or something. Glad you are at least in a nice, sea-side area.
JEFF: Google IS a wonderful tool. But your inquisitive mind is thoughtful enough to go searching for the info. Most others don't bother. That's why you always get so many kudos for your knowledge (whether it is recently acquired or not). Bravo!
Rosa: Why the nickname Jano? I've since looked him up. Saw him referenced under his real name and nick name--but don't know why the nickname. He does do nice work. Apparently he also did my early 80s WIZARD OF OZ poster I got awhile back as well. Nice! I'll keep an eye out for more. THANKS!
And now, here are 10 more posters I should NOT have purchased---but I'm just stupid that way...
AIRPORT (International version): Darn it all. I totally meant to include this on my last posting to go along with my travel/flight analogy I was making in the narration of my display of international posters. Grrr. Oh well. I'm a ding dong. But anyway, yes! I finally have an English version of the International poster for the original "Airport". I've always preferred this version over the US one sheet. Neither are that exciting really, but the US posters just has large blocks showing the cast. BORING! This one shows the cast, smaller and off to the side. It at least shows an airplane taking off with the title dramatically repeated below it. This is my LEAST favorite of the AIRPORT films. I like the cheesy sequels better. I'm still terrified of flying either way.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Airport%20intl%20version_zpsskmm2qe0.jpg)
HERCULES AND THE TYRANTS OF BABYLON: As I've said elsewhere on my thread, I really dig those old peplum/sword & sandal/ Hercules flicks from the 50s and 60s. I prefer the ones with magic/monsters/etc...those with imagination. The straight dramatic ones are kind of dull--like this one and the one below. However, they seem to be so hard to come by (the US one sheets, at least) that I'll snatch them up if they're the more mundane titles or not. This Hercules stars Rock Stevens, who is actually Peter Lupis from the original "Mission Impossible" series.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Hercules%20and%20the%20Tyrants%20of%20Babylon_zpszoywdv9f.jpg)
HERCULES AGAINST THE BARBARIAN: Another Herc flick. This one is a real snoozer, but as I said above, if I come across one, i'll but it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/hercules_against_the_barbarian_SD01632_T_zpskqd3homx.jpg)
HELP ME... I'M POSSESSED: Oh my stars! What a laugh out loud silly title. How could I NOT buy this little gem? I'm sure the film is crapola-I mean, who has even heard of it? I actually think I have it on DVD--either from Something Weird or a bootleg. I've gotten this poster once before (both copies were super cheap), but the last copy had a hole in it. I'll have to dig the DVD out and give it a watch. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Help%20Me%20Im%20Possessed_zpsuhkjipci.jpg)
CARNIVAL OF CRIME: This poster was also a cheapy. Not many people will have heard of this one either, I imagine. I recognized the poster art as having been recently used in a box set of public domain (?) flicks I watched not too long ago. It was mostly horror flicks, but this movie was included. I don't remember much about it other than it was a crime caper, set in Brazil and in black & white. They kept showing off the city (the capitol Brasilia, I believe), showing how marvelously modern it was. I don't remember the flick that well, but I do remember thinking the city looked quite dull. Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Carnival%20of%20Crime_zpshnf96fkz.jpg)
GOLIATHON: This is not an image of the actual poster I got--just something found online to demonstrate. There was never a full photo of mine on the listing, so... I have the re-release poster as "The Mighty Peking Man", but never the original release as "Goliathon". It's interesting that it totally downplays the giant King Kong-like creature. Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Goliathon_zpsug0qeo9w.jpg)
KRAMPUS: If you haven't noticed, I don't buy many new movie posters--or seldom do. I'll get the new Bond poster ("SPECTRE") eventually and any of the horror franchises ("Halloween", "Friday the 13h", "A Nightmare on Elm Street", Romero's "Dead" series, etc.) that come along. But by and large I am not turned on by the newer generation of movie poster. This one is an exception. Wow! I don't know what this is, but I do want to see it now that I know about it. I don't know why it works for me--perhaps because it is an artistic rendering instead of the tired and overused photoshop poster that is constantly in use today? Plus it's a holiday horror---gotta love those (and there have not been many lately).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Krampus_zpsxaelb4fs.jpg)
MARDI GRAS MASSACRE: Speaking of holiday horrors, this is about the only 80s holiday horror I didn't have yet. I have "Halloween", "Mother's Day", "April Fool's Day", "My Bloody Valentine", "Prom Night", "Graduation Day", etc...but "Mardis Gras Massacre" has always eluded me. Since my trip to New Orleans though, I had to have one--even though the movie is a complete turd-o-rama.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Mardi%20Gras%20Massacre_zpsd7b3v7bf.jpg)
EQUINOX: This is an example photo again--not an actual photo of my poster--but I got this one recently as well. I saw this years ago as a kid. I thought it was cool. I bought it on DVD a few years ago and watched it with friends. It was my first time seeing it in eons. My friends hated it and we watched something else. I later finished watching it and it had not held up. But, for a college film in the late 60s/early 70s, I thought they did a good job. It's just impossible for something like this to compete in today's market. Still, it was a groovy little nugget from my childhood, so...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/equinox_zpsj6o41dvo.jpg)
BLACK LOLITA: Zowie! I love my gimmicks...and 3D is one of the best. The new 3D has a nice clear picture and plenty of depth--but the "coming out at you"-ness of the new 3D is just NOT there like it was in the vintage stuff. You can even see that in the advertising. The new 3D movies just have a little blurb on the credits saying they are in 3D--big deal. But the vintage (80s and back) 3D flicks really sold it in the poster--and this is a great example, with Black Lolita kicking her legs right out of the screen while other characters spill out of the screen further on. I'm sure this 70s (?) sexploitation flick is crappy, but the poster is uber cool--and has long been on my want list.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Blacl%20Lolita_zpsgqvfsoae.jpg)
And that's all I've got for today.
CHEERS!

"Jano" is a comic character, a bohemian painter created by Jano when he was 14.
Francisco/ Jano left the comic business and when he started "painting" posters he decided to sign those as "Jano".
Does this help?
:)
-
Aha! That explains a lot. COOL story about his alias. THANK YOU so much for sharing! :-)
-
You are just going for poster gold, there, MAGG!
Another nice haul... all the way around. And Im with you on current release posters, for that very same reason. That's why I also think the Krampus OS works SO well. Beautifully done, detailed and rendered art.
-
Thanks Jeff. I am glad you agree with me that the illustrated/painted pieces are much nicer than the photoshop done posters. And now...off to do a zillion errands and hit a required meeting at work (first time I'll have been there since Sept. 9th). O' the joy...
Thanks for visiting.
Cheers!

Another very nice 3D poster... My pick of the bunch thumbsup.gif
-
CARNIVAL OF CRIME: This poster was also a cheapy. Not many people will have heard of this one either, I imagine.
This was a brazilian/argentinean coproduction. Apparently the movie is pretty boring, but I will have to start collecting paper on it in the future.

re EQUINOX
1) love the poster.
2) LOVE the film.
3) its BETTER than The Evil Dead (which it inspired).
-
EQUINOX is one of my favorite posters from that era.
Glad you got one for your psychotronic collection.
thumbup
-
I'm B-A-C-K with more of my recent purchasing madness to share!
But first...
STEVE: Glad you like "BLACK LOLITA". I am a total sucker for those old posters that are for 3D flicks. That one IS a find! Thanks!
110x75: Why the interest in CARNIVAL OF CRIME all of a sudden? Why are you now wanting to collect paper on it? Is it because it is Brazilian? Hmm.
JEFF: Re: GOLIATHON. I agree with you. The monster/giant yeti thing IS taking a backseat to the jungle girl. Can you imagine guys who want to see the jungle girl getting annoyed with the whole Yeti thing? And those who wanted a monster flick thinking...is this a female Tarzan movie? Pass! I'd personally rather have a GIANT monster (i.e. KING KONG or another title below) on a poster than a jungle girl, but that's because my taste in posters tends to run that of an 8 year old kid! Ha!
TED: Yes. Rosa is a wonderful help on here. I'm also glad you approve of my "EQUINOX"! Whoo hoo! I've wanted one for years!
ARI: Glad you are so passionate about "EQUINOX". Really, not many people know the movie these days. I do realize it inspired "The Evil Dead". I like it--bought the poster, didn't I?--but the night I watched it (or tried to watch it) with my friends and they found it dull, I realized that, for me, it hadn't aged well. I still think, as I said, for a little college film from the late 60's/early 70s, it is amazing. But it's "creaky", ya know? Dated. You really have to be in the right frame of mind to watch it these days (at least I do if I were to watch it again). Glad you totally dig it though. I have a soft spot for it, that's for sure. But it's not as awesome to me as it once was.
Now to more of my gotta-be-off-my-feet-and-there's-nothing-to-do-but-poster-hunt shopping madness! EEK! Hang on!
OOPS! I totally forgot about these other international tidbits...
From Poland, my first POLISH posters:
WOMEN DOCTORS: I know NOTHING about this movie--never heard of it--but what a wild image! Those Poles (is that how you spell it? Pols?) have some bizarre-O posters!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/polish_large_women_doctors_SD03260_C_zpsxg0ffacv.jpg)
CHILD'S SCENES OF PROVINCIAL LIFE: Speaking of bizarre-O posters, dig this Polish poster for something called CHILD'S SCENES OF PROVINCIAL LIFE. Huh? Lips biting other lips. What ARE they sniffing in Poland? Jeepers!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/polish_large_childs_scenes_of_provincial_life_lips_style_SD03259_C_zpsh8kqmjm7.jpg)
From Turkey (and that reminds me, Happy belated Canadian Thanksgiving! Ha!)
JAWS: Zowie! Once I got myself (finally) a US "JAWS" one sheet, the Turkish version was immediately in my sites. Why? How could it not be with the shark actually EATING a swimmer! Ha! Now the naked girl on the US version is all fine and dandy (How many books did that cover sell alone do you imagine?), but having it actually EAT someone--wow! That's what it's all about.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/JAWS%20Turkish_zpslyvz9r3h.jpg)
PIRANHA: I LOVED the original PIRANHA! For a little low-budget JAWS rip-off, it was fun, had some great tension and some nifty effects. I already have the US one sheet (they used to be soooo cheap!), but always wanted something with this funky alternate artwork. This Turkish one will do.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Piranha%20Turkish_zpsd8ohgdmb.jpg)
ZOMBIE: I also have the US one sheet for "Zombie", but thought since I was getting those other Turkish posters, I'd just snap this one up too. Different art--not the greatest, but not bad.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Zombie%20Turkish_zpsnrr0blp9.jpg)
Back here in the US, I picked up a '70s Harry Reems porn poster, "THE FLASHER": I don't remember what I was thinking when I picked this up. I've never seen it, but it does star Harry Reems (still milking the DEEP THROAT/DEVIL IN MISS JONES notoriety. Isn't he dead now?) and is one of those probably hard to find 70s porn titles from before home video. I don't know--just thought it may be worth something some day.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Flasher_zpsp9fxtzwd.jpg)
MUTINY IN OUTER SPACE: This looks like cheesy fun...and it's a Wolner Brothers Production, so it must be deliciously second rate. Ha! Look at the guy and girl trying to grab a ride (?) on the giant space tentacle! What the heck is that? Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/mutiny_in_outer_space_dupe4_BM04317_C_zpslholkqhy.jpg)
ROBOCOP: Yeah... the ROBOCOP series never did it for me. I saw the original and its two sequels in the theaters just because it was something to do--but didn't bother with the recent remake. I just got this, the one sheet for the original movie, as an investment for down the road...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/robocop_ES00149_C_zpsvvxnbkl0.jpg)
MAY: Oh my stars! Have you seen this flick? Not many people have. I love this quirky little horror movie. It stars Angela Bettis (and the was before the TV "Carrie" remake she was in). She's deliciously awkward and psycho. Odd little movie--but not to everyone's taste. Check it out (or don't). I'm just thrilled to have the one sheet for it. Yippie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/may_KM00745_T_reshoot_C_zpsvzxietqx.jpg)
REPTILICUS: Zowie! It's another super groovy vintage monster movie poster. Yahoo! I've wanted a REPTILICUS for ages. Sure, it's a poster for a poor man's GODZILLA, but this poor man will never be able to afford a poster for the original GODZILLA! I have to settle for the knock-offs, and I LOVE the posters for them any way! Yippie! Yippie! Yippie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Reptilicus_zps3swlrm2c.jpg)
And now, the bed is calling... Good night! Thank you ever so much for popping by.
CHEERS!
-
Completely understand re Equinox, and you are right, it could be timing, sometimes I rewatch a film and think WTF, then re-rewatch and GET IT AGAIN, all about mood on the day (plus watching with people who like it Vs people who dont makes a difference).
Nice new haul. especially the Polish
-
I love info like this.
Thanks, Rosa.
cheers
My pleasure.. :)
-
Oh boy.. this thread is eye candy. I always liked Reptilicus, you have so much going on there. And that EQUINOX is Goooooorgeaus.....!!!!
Thank you for the poster education! :)
-
110x75: Why the interest in CARNIVAL OF CRIME all of a sudden? Why are you now wanting to collect paper on it? Is it because it is Brazilian? Hmm.
Because it's partly argentinean ;)
The interest is not sudden. Got my eyes on paper on the film a while ago, but it always gets left behind for other poster priorities. Oh, the struggle!! ;D
-
BRAVO, MAGG..
Beautiful haul... And one that you posted, I also had arrive yesterday....hmmmmm.... want to take a guess which one?? hmmm.gif
Congrats again on the latest poster goodness! clap clap
-
I'm liking very much Mutiny and also Reptilicus thumbsup.gif
-
Howdy! Too much sugar in my system (damn mini candy bars for Halloween. I'm supposed to be making little treat package surprises for friends--not eating the treats! Ha!). So---you get MORE of my poster purchasing frenzy!
But first...
ARI: So glad you understand about frame of mind, etc. I may have to watch EQUINOX again soon (if I can find it--Ha!) Glad you like my Polish posters. My first... They are so --DIFFERENT!
ROSA: Eye candy? Okay--NO calories in looking! Yippie! Glad you like REPTILICUS and EQUINOX. Cheers!
MATIAS: Ah, you are into all things Argentine? How cool. I had no idea CARNIVAL OF CRIME was a co-Argentine production. The things you learn here...
JEFF: Hmm. My official guess is... It's one from the last 10 posters I posted? I am going to guess it's the Turkish JAWS poster??? Well????
STEVE: Zowie! Reptilicus is cool, but you are also groovin' on MUTINY IN OUTER SPACE? Awesome--and thank you. Have you seen it? Is it as cheesy as it looks? Astounding adventure from the center of the moon! Golly!
And now on to the posters...
MOVIE STAR AMERICAN STYLE: Ha! Look at this silly poster. A fake Marilyn and "Hilarious scenes in LSD color." Oh my! I need to see this film, I think. Looks like a hoot.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/movie_star_american_style_or_lsd_i_hate_you_BM04687_C_zpsreamrbff.jpg)
DRIVE-IN MASSACRE: Ugh. I remember when this poster was a dime a dozen. Now--not so cheap. Luckily I got this in a bulk lot of posters. Not the greatest poster on the planet, by far. But I sort of wanted it (especially since drive-ins are all but gone these days...) and could kick myself for not getting it back in the cheap days. Filmed entirely in bloodcurdling gore color! Yowza!

HOSPITAL MASSACRE: Another bulk lot piece. Nothing exciting really although it does star Barbi Benton--any one remember her? Ha! Also known as "X-RAY" and apparently THIS is the film that was advertised at the end of "NEW YEARS EVIL" as being "BE MY VALENTINE...OR ELSE"! (That mystery is finally solved!) I've nbever seen it though, but from what I have read I ain't missing much.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/hospital_massacre_zpsis00pel2.jpg)
BLOOD DINER: I saw this back in the VHS era...and didn't like it. I was expecting something--I don't know what--and all I got was a lame horror comedy. Snore. BUT the poster graphics are way cool and who knew it ever had a theatrical release? Hmm...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Blood%20Diner_zpsbwriix6k.jpg)
SPIRIT OF SEVENTY-SEX: Okay--I have a couple of porn titles. Not my usual thing, but... I've not seen this, but I thought the spoof of the patriotic trio was clever and this clearly dates back to the 1970s. This is NOT my poster. The photo with the listing had problems. This was the best alternative I could find online.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/8253969684_17346bda78_n_zpsaww3qgih.jpg)
VASELINE ALLEY: Another porn I have not seen. I think this may be 80s. Why did I get it? Well, aside from the sleazy title--eew!--I thought it was rather odd for a straight porn film to be hyping the appearance of a Burt Reynolds look-a-like. Really? Guys want to see a Burt Reynolds clone in action? Uh... kind of doubt it. How many films did Burt Dreynolds do any way? I'm guessing not too many. Interesting curio though. But the real reason i bought it was because it made me laugh. YEARS ago, a friend and I visited the long-gone Movieland Wax Museum in Buena Park. At one point during the route through the museum, you had to stop and have your picture taken (for purchase at the end of the museum if you chose) with some guy. He walked up to me, shook my hands and said "Hi.I double for Burt Reynolds". He never even said his real name--he was just some schmo the museum had hired (wouldn't a wax figure have been easier/more appropriate?). My friend and I laughed about that for days (and no, we did not buy the photos with him). I don't think it was him, but part of me wonders if Burt Dreynolds was the dude from the wax museum. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Vaseline%20Alley_zps4fjxbqpz.jpg)
CHATTERBOX: Easing away from the porn, we get this movie that was clearly inspired by DEEP THROAT--but went the other direction. CHATTERBOX is the story of a woman who has an extra voice box (with a mind of its own, too, apparently) down "there". It's an R-Rated comedy. I've never seen it (but have seen the trailer Steve, this is for you...maybe? https://youtu.be/41IsnJUOVgo (https://youtu.be/41IsnJUOVgo) ). It looks god awful and I've heard it is...but I almost want to see it. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/chatterbox_SD03133_T_zpsqq87lgyo.jpg)
WARRIOR OF THE LOST WORLD: This "MAD MAX" ripoff was cheap. I've never seen it, but there were a lot of those post apocalyptic flicks in the 80s (mostly Italian). Hmm. Could be trashy fun.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Warriors%20of%20the%20Lost%20World_zpshdxpg4ic.jpg)
FLIGHT TO TANGIER: This also makes me think of Steve...another vintage 3D poster. But the poster makes me laugh, too. I've never seen the flick--but the title FLIGHT TO TANGIER is very pronounced on the poster...and the male lead, at least at first glance, looks like he has his arms out and is running around playing like he is an airplane, like kids sometimes do. That cracks me up (or maybe I'm just THAT tired?).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/flight_to_tangier_d_HN03162_C_zpsodi0v21t.jpg)
KING KONG ESCAPES: Finally--giant monster time again...times TWO! KING KONG ESCAPES features not only KONG but also his mechanical twin MECHA-KONG! Ha! I already have a copy, but this was only $15. How is that possible? I couldn't let it slip away that cheap. I'll have to compare it to my other copy and eventually re-sell one. LOVE my KONG movies/posters though.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/King%20Kong%20Escapes_zpsqaxewzjk.jpg)
Okay--has my sugar rush subsided? Hopefully.
Nighty night, pussycats!
CHEERS!

I thought the guy in the lower right inset image was, ahem, rogering the lady, until I think I figured out what it was.

Always enjoy seeing your purchases.
I really like that Movie Star, American Style one sheet.
I might have to scour some cinema dumpsters to find a copy.

MATIAS: Ah, you are into all things Argentine? How cool. I had no idea CARNIVAL OF CRIME was a co-Argentine production. The things you learn here...
Yep. That's my curse for being born down here ;D
If I would have born over there, I'll be buying the posters you are buying ;)
-
Howdy! Too much sugar in my system (damn mini candy bars for Halloween. I'm supposed to be making little treat package surprises for friends--not eating the treats! Ha!). So---you get MORE of my poster purchasing frenzy!
But first...
ARI: So glad you understand about frame of mind, etc. I may have to watch EQUINOX again soon (if I can find it--Ha!) Glad you like my Polish posters. My first... They are so --DIFFERENT!
ROSA: Eye candy? Okay--NO calories in looking! Yippie! Glad you like REPTILICUS and EQUINOX. Cheers!
MATIAS: Ah, you are into all things Argentine? How cool. I had no idea CARNIVAL OF CRIME was a co-Argentine production. The things you learn here...
JEFF: Hmm. My official guess is... It's one from the last 10 posters I posted? I am going to guess it's the Turkish JAWS poster??? Well????
STEVE: Zowie! Reptilicus is cool, but you are also groovin' on MUTINY IN OUTER SPACE? Awesome--and thank you. Have you seen it? Is it as cheesy as it looks? Astounding adventure from the center of the moon! Golly!
And now on to the posters...
MOVIE STAR AMERICAN STYLE: Ha! Look at this silly poster. A fake Marilyn and "Hilarious scenes in LSD color." Oh my! I need to see this film, I think. Looks like a hoot.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/movie_star_american_style_or_lsd_i_hate_you_BM04687_C_zpsreamrbff.jpg)
This is such a fun poster... awesome, MAGG, between the Marylin wannabe image on it and the subject matter. And a film by Albert Zugsmith no less! ;D
Brilliant, all the way around!! clap clap
-
I thought the guy in the lower right inset image was, ahem, rogering the lady, until I think I figured out what it was.
STEVE: Perhaps you are right. He is coming at her from behind. Perhaps that's where the tag line--Astounding Adventure From The Center of the Moon--comes from. SHOCKING!
TED: Scour some some cinematic dumpsters indeed. I totally dig the poster too. It has a wonderful sleazy feel to it. I'd really love to see the flick. I wonder if it's been unearthed and is available? I'll have to look...
MATIAS: How cool being in Argentina! This will seem dumb, since I have not seen many (any?) Argentine (Argentinian?) films, but one of my favorite flicks is set in Argentina. Maybe you've seen it? "Apartment Zero"? Cool little flick--about a guy obsessed with movies and a drifter. (Neither are from Argentina, now that I think about it. Hmm.)
JEFF: Yes, the great Albert Zugsmith! Ha! I was going to just laugh him off as a great nobody with a silly name. WHO has ever heard of him? But then I looked him up and I am familiar with his other work (He actually has other work! Ha!) He actually produced Orson Welles' "TOUCH OF EVIL" (!), "THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN", "THE BEAT GENERATION", "HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL", and directed "SEX KITTENS GO TO COLLEGE" and "CONFESSIONS OF AN OPIUM EATER" among others. Zowie--I used your Google super powers! Look out! Ha!
-
Albert Zugsmith.
A name that will go down in infamy!

Here's the MOVIE STAR AMERICAN STYLE trailer: https://youtu.be/3DpTmvmz-u4
Looks AWFUL! (Which is sooooo disappointing.) LSD COLOR is just tinted black and white. Whoopie...
It appears to be some wannabe screw ball comedy. I was hoping for a low-budget drama with unintentional laughs from campy dialogue and bad acting, a poor man's "Valley of the Dolls" (which is campy in itself). Oh well.
Still might have to track it down and see it. Hmm.
The poster is still groovy.
Cheers!

I see she made your tail curl...and it's never been able to straighten out since! Zowie! Ha!

Okay.. My splurge is winding down. I've got enough new posters for this posting and then maybe one more (possibly two) and then I'm out for a while again. (Heavy sigh...)
Anyway, ladies and gents, here are tonight's offerings...
HOUSE OF THE CRAZIES / ASYLUM: This is a re-titled re-release poster for the Amicus (I think) horror anthology "ASYLUM" written by Robert Bloch and featuring Peter Cushing. I have always preferred this re-release poster (and title) to the original.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/asylum_R80_retitled_WC02097_C_zpssffzd5jk.jpg)
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (Yugoslavian): I almost passed on this poster...and maybe should have. It's kind of dull and sedate (purposely, i think). The part I liked about it were Freddy's claws seemingly cutting through the poster. It looks almost 3D. This is also supposedly a Yugoslavian poster--which this my first Yugo.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Nightmare%20on%20Elm%20Street%20Yugo_zpsjezngivy.jpg)
NAKED AND CRUEL WORLD (?): I think I translated that title correctly, but I've never heard of this flick. I wish I read Spanish. Oh well. It LOOKS like a mondo flick, possibly showing some of the more shocking things supposedly happening on the planet we may not even be thinking about. Oh my star! Why did I buy this? Well, looking at the bottom photo on the poster, I was initially stuck by the bloody body being eaten by the clearly fake alligator/crocodile. Ha! Looking at the upper picture, it dawned on me that I had just seen that exact same shot...in some stupid cannibal flick I had just watched a week or so earlier. Ha! Clearly this mondo doc is fake, Fake, FAKE!!! At least the poster was cheap, Cheap, CHEAP!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Naked%20and%20Cruel%20World_zpsuizhatam.jpg)
HIGH TEST GIRLS: Never saw the flick, but the poster is kind of fun and has some good color. Plus I thought Steve would like it. You always gotta have something to post for Steve. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/High%20Test%20Girls_zpsco7gc7by.jpg)
MONA: I don't know what this is, never saw it, and really don't care about it at all. But, if I'm going to pad out this posting, er, um... If I'm going to share my complete collection, I should post everything that comes my way. This poster was included as part of a lot. There's no other reason for it to be here.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Mona_zpssymzckk9.jpg)
THE SWORD OF THE BARBARIANS: Yesterday i posted a poster for an Italian "MAD MAX" clone. Now here's an Italian "Conan" clone. Never saw this, but it was kind of fun and why not. It's NOT quiet a Hercules/sword&sandal/peplum flick from the 50s/60s, but I think it wants to be. Whatever--another cheapo for the pile.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Sword%20of%20the%20Barbarians_zpsdbmiwldr.jpg)
THE MINES OF KILIMANJARO: At first I thought this was one of those Richard Chamberlain 'Allen Quatermane' (spelling?) adventures from the 80s and almost passed it over. I probably should have passed it over anyway. Ha! I don't know quite what this is. It stars Christopher Connelly and is directed by Mark War (?). I'm guessing it is an Italian production...but the poster, while in English, I would almost bet was printed internationally--and is not a US one sheet. Just another cheap curio I could have (and should have) done without.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Mines%20of%20Kilimanjaro_zpsos93ee5a.jpg)
A CLOCKWORK BLUE: I have no idea what this is. An early porn flick? Although women clearly are in it, the cast list mentions only two guys--one guy who is also the director (Eric Jeffrey Haims! Zowie! WHO?) and some other guy, Joe E. Tata, who is probably the director's best pal. Two bad they weren't brothers, then they could have said the film was staring "the Tatas" and maybe gotten a bigger audience. Who knows? I bought it because I dig the colors, liked that it was a title parody, and also because it has "Orbital Cinematography in Eastman Color and UltraSonic Sound". Groovy.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/clockwork_blue_dupe1_BM04742_C_zps1vw9bqfr.jpg)
FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 5: A NEW BEGINNING (Turkish): Even though this may be my least favorite of the "Friday the 13th" films, when i stumbled upon this poster I was pleasantly surprised by how different it was. I had never seen it before--and Jason is almost an after thought off to the side. Nothing great--but interesting and part of an iconic horror series (which, let's face it, has had pretty awful one sheets for most of the series--at least parts 2 through 5 for sure).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Friday%20the%2013th%20Part%205%20A%20New%20Beginning%20Turkish_zps0cl9zmiw.jpg)
FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 6: JASON LIVES: I found this one in the same place as the other FRIDAY THE 13TH poster. This is part 6--again, very different art (for what is probably my favorite in the series, maybe). Again, why not since it is for such an iconic series and the art is far different than I've ever seen for it. After I bought it though, I discovered the same (?) art was used on the Italian version and just borrowed by the Turkish. Hmm. Not sure about the Part 5 poster I got, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the same story there as well. But I already bought them. What can you do?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Friday%20the%2013th%20Part%206%20Jason%20Lives%20Turkish_zps0mbnx7vk.jpg)
So this wasn't the greatest batch of posters. Eh! I've got a jewel in the next batch I post though. It's not an original release, but I'll never be able to get one of those. But this sloppy second release I am more than pleased/satisfied with and have crossed it off my Bucket List. What is it? Come back and see... I'll post it in a day or so or...whenever.
And now--bed time. HOPEFULLY I can sleep tonight.
CHEERS!

The massive poster haul continues!!
woohoo

High Test Girls thumbsup.gif
I want my engine serviced by these skilled professionals. Well, the one holding the hose can't hold a hose but maybe she is demonstrated her other amazing talents.

Thanks Jeff...but it's going to come to a screeching halt very, very soon as you shall see...
Steve, have you booked for a lube job with High Test Girls Tuesday morning. Can you make it? Maybe you can teach them how to properly hold a hose. Vroom! Vroom!

Thanks MAGG, that sounds amazing thumbsup.gif

Just a little follow up...
Hey Crazy Vick, you'll be happy to know I came, I saw, I LEFT withOUT buying a thing. It was a nice little store with some beautiful things (ZOWIE!!). However, they were all well out of my price range and all were linen backed (NOT my thing at all). See below (sorry the pictures are not that great and one is blurry...)

"the notoriously awful "At Long Last Love" (Burt Reynolds singing and dancing? Ouch--just the thought of it is painful)"
^ Thanks for sharing. It just made me smile. ;D
Hey Rosa, I am quoting you way back from the first (?) page of my thread, in response to my AT LONG LAST LOVE poster. While I do not think the film has been released on DVD/Blu Ray, you might be thrilled to know that the soundtrack IS being released soon, so you can sway and swoon (and CRINGE) to Burt Reynolds' vocal stylings!
( http://www1.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm/ID/29463/AT-LONG-LAST-LOVE/ (http://www1.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm/ID/29463/AT-LONG-LAST-LOVE/))
It's too bad they don't have excerpts you can play. EEEK!
OOO! I just looked on YouTube. Here is a perfect example for you. Here is Madeline Kahn and Burt singing and dancing their way through "You're The Top". Cybil Shepherd is the female lead in the film, but Kahn and Eileen Brennan are along for support.
ENJOY (if you can stomach it).

Haha thanks for the pics Magg. Glad you got to visit and spend time and not a dime. What a great setting for a poster store.
Did you chat it up with the owner? Bio on his website is quite interesting..Always curious to know what kind of good folk run these places.

Actually, I did talk to the employees briefly. They were trying to make a sale--not chit chat. I was, of course, in eye candy heaven. They asked how I found the place and I said a friend online had sent me. They thought I must have meant the owner. No, I said, just a friend--because I didn't want to go into the whole APF explanation (although maybe I should have. I keep forgetting it's not just movie posters). They did have some beautiful things though. Oh my stars! They also had a few movie posters--but everything was on linen. My friends dragged me away far too quickly as they wanted to go to Fleetwood's (a restaurant above the poster store as well as a gift shop/gallery on the first floor owned by Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac. Snore. I wanted to go back to the poster shop! But the shop IS in a beautiful location. Walk out the front door, look across the street and there is the ocean! I also think one of the nearby islands is visible, too. WOW!

Rosa! Stop the car! Hold the phone! OMG! Some fool is actually putting the movie out as well.

Matias, Apartment Zero is quite good.
Not only was it filmed in Argentina, but it was directed by Buenos Aires-born Martin Donovan (Carlos Enrique Valera Y Peralta-Ramos).
Its been years since I saw it, but I remember it was tense and well-played.

My last posting was not that exciting.This one has some duds in it too, but also has a super coup (well, for ME it is) that I am very excited about. But my spending spree has pretty much wound down. I have ONE more post after this and then I'm out for a while again. But let's see what I have now:
INFERNO (Turkish): I've been wanting a poster for Argento's "INFERNO" for a long, long time. I was holding out for a US one sheet, but there never seemed to be any available (of course, I've since found out that even though it was planned to have a US release, it NEVER did. Ha!). This is the Turkish release--and they've taken the basic Italian art and added a few things. I probably should have just went with the Italian (If I could find one), but this is what was available when I was looking.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Inferno%20Turkiah_zpspartcp41.jpg)
DAMIEN: OMEN II (Turkish): The US version is sooo blah. This is much more interesting. I still want to get the Turkish poster for the first "OMEN" flick. I haven't seen the posters for 3 & 4...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Damien%20Omen%202%20Turkish_zps5q711q9q.jpg)
DUEL (Spanish): I was also hoping for a US one sheet of this flick. I know it was a TV movie, but I do also know it later had a theatrical release. I got the Spanish version. Whoohoo.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Duel%20Spanish_zpsqv6yxrgb.jpg)
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (Spanish): I already have the US (80s re-release) version, but stumbled upon this Spanish one that was not too expensive. Why not?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/From%20Russia%20With%20Love%20Spain_zps6mhzfzuw.jpg)
BATMAN (Spanish): The 60s BATMAN has been on my mind a lot lately (probably because I am re-watching the series again on DVD--Ha!) I really want the US one sheet, but have yet to get one. Saw this 1979 Spanish re-release and thought what the heck?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Batman%2079%20Spanish_zpsgp859do1.jpg)
BATMAN (Begian): Then I saw this gorgeously colored Belgian version. Ooooo. Sold! This is not the actual poster I got. The photo of it was funky, so I borrorwed this photo from the internet in its place. Pow! Bam! Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Batman%20Belgian_zpsf9mgyvb6.jpg)
LINDA LOVELACE FOR PRESIDENT: This is the dud o' the day. I have no idea why I felt compelled to by this. Snore...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/linda_lovelace_for_president_SD03408_C_zpsmsxnmq23.jpg)
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY: I know i have all of the Bond posters (with the exception of the new SPECTRE). However, my copies of this one and one other have flaws that I can NOT live with so I need to replace them. I have probably already replaced them...but I'm not sure. Hmm. I have this one now--and it's posted here--so I can refer back and see it and not bid on any others in the future. That leaves just one more to track down (if I haven't done so already) AND the Spectre poster...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/for_your_eyes_only_BM04741_C_zpsa2nrzrgl.jpg)
THE STRANGER WORE A GUN: Another vintage 3D poster from the 50s! Yippie! Kind of lackluster--and I'm not big on westerns, but whatever.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/stranger_wore_a_gun_d_SD03415_C_zpsbnupygmm.jpg)
PSYCHO: Okay--so it's a re-release. But it's in great shape and I'll never get an original. I fought hard to get this one too. Yikes! Spent more than i meant to, but wanted/needed it. Now I just need to sell my house so i can pay for it. Ha!

AWFUL!!! View at your own risk!
JEFF: Glad you like the posters. I've never bought so many foreign posters before. This month it's been almost all foreign. Hmm. I hope my enthusiasm with them keeps up.
Anyway, both of you--thank you for stopping by.

Hehehe ....thanks!! :-*

POSTER TIME!!!!!
This first batch I ordered from everyone's pal Ari. I wasn't going to post them just yet--I was going to wait until they arrived. But I decided to share with the new guy, "e", my very first locandina (did I spell that right?), which I got from the A man.
Here' the locandina (sp?).
BARRACUDA: I'm a sucker for a lot of things, movie gimmicks, bad sequels no one has ever heard of or remembers, disaster flicks, 3D, and "JAWS" knock offs, to name a few. "Barracuda" falls into the latter category. Although it's kind of dull (zzzzz..), there's still the poster (which is also, well, kind of dull). I have elsewhere in my thread an Italian (I don't know what they're called..) 1 piece (like a one sheet?) with some different art than the US poster...and then I spied this locandina that I really like. Instead of just being a menacing fish in the water, this time the barracuda has a head in its mouth! Yowza! How exciting! (More exciting than the film itself! Ha!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Barracuda%20locandina_zpsobyhbjeh.jpg)
THE DOCTOR AND THE DEVILS (Australian one sheet): Never heard of this one--but probably everyone has. It looked interesting and wasn't too expensive, so why not? Thanks again Ari.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Doctor%20and%20the%20Devils%20Australian_zpsrk1zvrpk.jpg)
JOURNEY INTO BLISS: This one really excited me...and I've never seen the film, but judging by the poster I really want/need to. It looks like some weird, crazy, experimental grooviness. Ari, I think, said his friend made the movie--or was involved with it somehow. Interesting and apparently very little paper on it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Journey%20Into%20Bliss_zpsfnpsiffb.jpg)
RABID (Thai): Ari had several Thai posters. I almost couldn't decide...but went with Cronenberg's "RABID". It's so different than the US poster (with the body stuffed in the refrigerator--LOVE that one, too). I hadn't seen this Thai yet, so opted for it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Rabid%20Thai_zpsrg9lyi7u.jpg)
Thank you, ARI!!!!!
Speaking of Thai (the RABID poster), I also picked up these:
PUPPET MASTER: The first thing I noticed when i saw this poster was the ghastly, bloody (?) mouth in the center of the poster. Was this some zombie flick? No--it's PUPPET MASTER! Ha! Cool art though...and what is mind-blowing also is that it actually played theaters in Thailand (instead of going straight to video like it did here). Ha! Gingerman, you just posted this. I didn't say anything then--saving it for now. But we can be Thai poster twinsies! Ha! You've got GREAT TASTE! happy1
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Puppetmaster%20Thai_zpslaghr1lx.jpg)
THE BELIEVERS: Okay, so this voodoo movie is a little less than interesting. Normally I'd have passed over this poster...but the Thai version---WOW! It has so much going on. Why can't US posters be more interesting? Had THE BELIEVERS had this poster, it might have made a little more money here (or not--because it was still kind of a dud).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Believers%20Thai_zpscmi4cc5i.jpg)
PRIMITIF: I know. I know. ANOTHER cannibal movie poster. This time from Thailand. Wow! Gruesomely cool.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Primitif%20Thai_zpsmsfopixo.jpg)
EVIL DEAD 2: See why I need your posters Gingerman? You have EVIL DEAD 1...and I have the sequel! Again, may I say you have GREAT TASTE! Zowie! These Thai posters --especially for horror flicks--really rock! There are so many cool ones out there I need to get. They MUST be mine. Ha! If anything would inspire gonzo Thai art it's an EVIL DEAD movie.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Evil%20Dead%202%20Thai_zpsb0wal4fk.jpg)
Back to US one sheets, I have two more to share:
THE LAST PARADISE: I wanted this after my trip to Hawaii. Almost as big of an obsession as posters are for me is tiki culture (as in tiki bars). Once I'm back in a house, I want to turn a spare room into a home tiki bar! I thought this poster, done up in a bamboo frame, would look swell in my tiki bar-to-be. Steve, if you are reading this, there are (gasp!) topless native chicks in this fully showing their, uh...coconuts! OH MY!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Last%20Paradise_zps5uarqgow.jpg)
THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION: Finally, no collection is complete without some gratuitous cheez-o-rama! EEK! THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION!!! What a deliriously silly little bit o' low-budget '70s drive-in splendor! There is even a giant spider (a not so cleverly disguised Volkswagen) with wheels, if you look carefully enough! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Giant%20Spider%20Invasion_zpsfipgfavp.jpg)
Thanks for popping by.
CHEERS!

Liking 3 Dimensions and Psycho... Psycho must be pretty exciting to have thumbsup.gif

What a joy!!!

Great selection of Thai posters you have growing now, too, in your collection, MAGG.
Good times!!!
-
I actually really like that Barracuda locandina(yes you're spelling it right, locandine is the plural form btw) it's has me a bit intrigued about the film. If the other poster is similarly sized to a US one sheet than it's a soggettone or un folgio.
I really like those Thai posters, the more I see Thai posters the more I want to add some to my collection.
-
In my catching up i was saving MAGGs thread so i could make sure I had a chance to look at all the missed posts. How you manage to keep finding ways of buying posters are a testament to the perseverance and ingenuity of the human species thumbsup.gif
That said, if you need extra cash, here are my favorites: ;) ;D

TED and ROSA: Thanks for popping by. Glad you like the new stuff. Cheers!
STEVE: Ooooo you dig the 3D stuff too. The new one isn't the most exciting, but--I'll take it. And yes, having a PSYCHO finally (even a re-release) is super. Another thing I can cross off the big list. Thanks for looking.
JEFF: Yes, the Thai stuff has really captured my attention. UGH! I could just kick myself for being so narrow minded for sooooo many years and just buying nothing but US one sheets. Think of all of the beautiful posters I missed out on (and all of the really cheap-o-rama prices, too. International posters were a dime a dozen five or ten years ago).
e: Glad the BARRACUDA locandina intersts you and makes you want to see the flick. It's doing its job then, apparently. However unless you really, really want to see it, you would probably be better off passing. It's kind of dull. (Kind of? It IS dull.) Also thanks for the Italian poster education. I won't remember. It will take me a zillion years to get that down--but I appreciate the effort.
CRAZY VICK: Oh my stars! How good to see you. You have not been by to visit since the end of August. I was getting kind of worried... Glad you like some of my stuff and interesting choices (well, some of them) as to your favorites. Anyway,it's nice having your crazy self around again Soooo groovy to hear from you.
CHEERS!

GoGo
Puppet Master is indeed such a great poster. The movie is kinda creepy, I haven't seen it in years but it leaves a mark on you when you see it...imho.. of course. See I need Evil Dead 2, and you need the first one. We have a set between us! You got that Rabid from Ari? That is a nice poster! I love your stuff man, so much good stuff. As you would say Zowie!!!
clap clap clap clap cheers clap clap clap clap
-
Hey Gingerman! Glad you made back over to my page. I thought it was so neat-O that we were BOTH posting PUPPET MASTER on the same day and each had an EVIL DEAD poster as well as other Thai posters. You may be my long-lost poster child (Ha! That does NOT sound right--like you have an affliction or something--but you know what I was going for. Ha!).
Glad you like my stuff. I dig yours, too pal! Keep at it. Glad to have you here.
Cha-cha-cha!
Cheers-a-rama!
Over and out!
-
Well, here's another mixed bag of recent posters. Joy...
TRAPPED (Thai)---Never heard of this and the poster over all is kind of ho-hum...except for the one guy getting the axe to his head and his eyeball popping out. Zowie! That's gotta hurt. Those wonderful wacky Thais!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Trapped%20Thai_zpsijmna7tk.jpg)
DAWN OF THE DEAD (Thai): Another Thai...and purchased fairly (surprisingly) cheap. Hmm. That has me worried. We'll see what it's like when it finally arrives. If all is good, I'm super pumped to get this. Yowza!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Dawn%20of%20the%20Dead%20Thai_zpsxjnijgc9.jpg)
SAVAGE WEEKEND: I already have a copy of this, but this went pretty cheap, so... I snagged it. I've never seen the movie, but did recently buy it (just re-released on dvd and blu ray).I've heard it's crap though. Well see. Yet another early 80s slasher. It couldn't find a holiday to use so it generically went for just the WEEKEND (eeek!) to terrorize. Ha! It's still a cool image--the masked guy holding the bloody sickle and doing the Uncle Sam "I Want You" pose. I had this framed and in my guest room (since most guests came on weekends. Ha!). Waaagh! I want to be in a house again. Maybe if I just stopped buying posters... Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Savage%20Weekend_zpsqx8nxovt.jpg)
VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (Belgian): I think I mentioned this elsewhere when i got the French version of this movie poster... La Vallee des Poupees sounds like it's about diarrhea! I'm sure most film critics of the day were calling this movie poopie---or something close to it. Ha! I am a huge VOD fan. It's awful/wonderful (especially Patty Duke--so over the top, especially after she gets "famous"! Ha!), so i couldn't resist.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/valleyofdolls-be_zpssud0f0ze.jpg)
MANIAC: I also already have this. But it was such a bargain...I just couldn't NOT get it. I stumbled upon it on some website of some guy who was selling posters. He had apparently had the site up for a long while and had priced the posters sometime back. Bargain! This is a much sought after piece for 80s horror gorehounds. Nice to have a spare for a rainy day.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/maniac-trifold_zpsgrkcr3wv.jpg)
TARZAN AND THE LOST CITY: You know by now I dig my Tarzan movies (or maybe I got all of my Tarzan posters before I joined APF?). While the oldest ones are beyond my reach, I have the bulk of the ones since Gordon Scott took over on up through the Bo Derek version. I kept putting this poster off--I'm not sure why. I saw this film in the theater (as i said, I like my Tarzan flicks), but had trouble with Caspar Van Dien in the role. I had the chance to meet him once. He was just a few feet away from me, but...eh. I didn't want to be bothered with the encounter. Now that many years have passed, I think i can revisit this film and give it another whirl. We'll see. Enough time has passed though where I feel comfortable getting the poster (finally). And isn't there a new Tarzan coming soon?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/tarzan_and_the_lost_city_KM00721_C_zpsimmlgnuk.jpg)
GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE: Ugh...I told you this was a mixed bag today. Ha! When i was getting the TARZAN poster above, i saw this one as well. CHEAP. While NOT a TARZAN film, it certainly is Tarzan-esque (and clearly inspired by the mighty jungle swinger), so I got it. Eh. (I don't even know/remember if I ever even bothered seeing the movie or not).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/george_of_the_jungle_KM00721_C_zpsgilvyahv.jpg)
SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE 3: Funny thing about this poster. I saw it and thought, I didn't even know there was a sequel to the original. I have the first poster. i'll get this one and then track down the 2nd one and then I'll have the whole series. Except the first one I THOUGHT I had was actually for SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE. Oops! Two different 80s slasher series--and I somehow never saw either of them. Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/slumber_party_massacre_3_dupe2_KM00738_C_zpscldb66eo.jpg)
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW (lenticular): Another poster I already had...but again found it at an amazingly cheap price. SOLD!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Day%20After%20Lenticular_zpssw4q3wxx.jpg)
MY BLOODY VALENTINE (English): Last one for tonight, this is the English one sheet for the early 80s (1981?) holiday slasher MY BLOODY VALENTINE. It has very different art work than the US one sheet. I had seen this image before and always wondered where it was used before. Now i know. Except why does it look like they are in a subway tunnel instead of a mine shaft?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/english_1sh_my_bloody_valentine_SD00968_C_zpsusmlnwm9.jpg)
And that's posters for today.
CHEERS!
-
I think the loin cloth was the clincher, eh, MAGG?? wynk
Really nice haul, once again.
clap clap

MANIAC: I also already have this. But it was such a bargain...I just couldn't NOT get it. I stumbled upon it on some website of some guy who was selling posters. He had apparently had the site up for a long while and had priced the posters sometime back. Bargain! This is a much sought after piece for 80s horror gorehounds. Nice to have a spare for a rainy day.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/maniac-trifold_zpsgrkcr3wv.jpg)
This is such a freaky film...really good. Or I thought it was good...mind you..couldn't sleep in days!
And the poster is a "classic"...for sure!!
-
I'm B-A-C-K!
Hi JEFF and ROSA. Thanks for stopping by. ROSA, I am surprised you liked the original MANIAC. But for what it is, it IS good...and the poster is definitely memorable. Thanks for noticing.
Any way, here is yet another mixed bag of new acquisitions...eh. It's almost not even worth posting, but... Here we go anyway!
THE OMEN (Turkish): Oooooo. I just got the Turkish "DAMIEN: OMEN II", but what I really wanted was the original Turkish "Omen". It's so much more interesting than the US. It kind of reminds me of the Thai posters (I wonder if there was a Thai poster for "The Omen"? Hmm.) Well, tuh-DUH!!!! I finally HAVE the Turkish poster for "THE OMEN"! Yippie! (Now i wonder what the Turkish "Omen III" is like. i've never seen one of those. Probably not nearly as interesting...)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Omen_zpsfhupnvx6.jpg)
THE NIGHT EVELYN CAME OUT OF THE GRAVE: I'm not 100% sure, but I could almost swear I saw this movie on one of those crappy/cheap-O 10 (or 25 or 50) movies for $5 DVD sets. If I did see it, it was not that memorable. I don't recall it at all. But I have long thought the poster was creepy enough with the skull-faced woman holding a decapitated head. The worms are waiting...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Night%20Evelyn%20Came%20Out%20of%20the%20Grave_zps9i6akioy.jpg)
THE SADIST: I already have one of these, but I saw this one going cheap and I just couldn't let that happen. So i snatched it up. This is a weird little low budget flick--kind of laugh out loud unintentionally funny with D-list (Z-list?) star Arch Hall Jr in the lead. I do dig the poster too.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Sadist%20B_zpsnagznq4g.jpg)
STONE COLD DEAD: I never saw this flick, but I do remember when it played in theaters. i was about in the 8th grade and I really wanted to go based on the commercials and the ads in the paper (smaller versions of this one sheet). It's probably a crappy movie--and in the newspaper ads, you really couldn't tell that the body in the shower was of a young shapely woman. oh my! I've not bothered to chase down the film. The one sheet is enough of a reminder of those youthful days.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/stone_cold_dead_ES00190_C_zpsejugrt1i.jpg)
VOLCANO (teaser): I like my disaster flicks--I do. The ones from the 70s were the best. I already have the "VOLCANO" one sheet, but this was a teaser. While I wasn't wild about the finished film, it was okay. The teaser was uber cheap--why not?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/volcano_KM00721_C_zps308to6jt.jpg)
THE STEPFORD WIVES: While I am reasonably sure I have one of these, it's always good to have a back up--and this one seemed to be in nice condition. This was a good little movie, kind of forgotten today (the horrible remake didn't help any). Anyone remember the three TV movie sequels? (REVENGE OF THE STEPFORD WIVES, THE STEPFORD CHILFREN, and THE STEPFORD HUSBANDS). Plus, this film featured Katherine Ross and Tina Louise and a downer ending.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/stepford_wives_ES00190_C_zps3lugiqxd.jpg)
SERIAL MOM: Eh...John Waters' films aren't what they used to be. This is his first or second (when did "CRY BABY" come out again--was that right after "Hairspray" or after this?) post-Divine films. I have this poster already, but this was cheap--and John Waters. Not the best of his films--by far--but not the worst.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/serial_mom_dupe3_SD03208_C_zpst4g0umuv.jpg)
DEAD SPACE: I've never heard of "DEAD SPACE", but I imagine it's gotta be crap (Or I probably would have at least heard of it by now). But when I first saw the poster for this apparently wannabe "ALIEN"rip-off, I laughed. The man in the monster costume, for some reason, reminded me of "Far Out Space Nuts", a really dumb 70s TV show with Bob "Gilligan's Island" Denver lost in a space capsule and encountering different Saturday morning TV monster/aliens each week. I don't know why that popped in my head, but it did. Space trash...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/dead_space_dupe3_SD03208_C_zpsl5d8tuqw.jpg)
MAME: Speaking of trash, I LOVE my bad movies. But there are some movies I can NOT bring myself to watch. Like the idea of Burt Reynolds singing and dancing has kept me from watching the horror that is "AT LONG LAST LOVE" or Sylvester Stallone's crooning in "RHINESTONE", Lucille Ball's voice has kept me from witnessing the multi-million dollar disaster that is "MAME". Eek! I do have it on DVD---just have not been delirious enough to pop it in and give it a watch yet. I've posted the trailer below, for those of you with strong stomachs (WARNING: You could possibly be MAMEd for life!). And, yes, I did buy the poster. Cheap.
https://youtu.be/mcjn1BmQeNg (https://youtu.be/mcjn1BmQeNg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/mame_ES00190_C_zps2gn2vv3h.jpg)
THE INCREDIBLE PETRIFIED WORLD: Who doesn't love those low budget drive-in flicks from the 50s and early 60s? Well--let me rephrase that (since this movie is a big stinkeroo), who doesn't like the POSTERS from the 50s and early 60s drive in flicks? This one didn't go nearly as high as I thought it might...and became mine. Yippie.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Incredible%20Petrified%20World_zpsgdmq0hkn.jpg)
And that's another batch. Golly. I told you it was really a mixed batch...kind of bottom of the barrel, but there were a few gems in it.
Until next time,
CHEERS!
-
Nice stuff there, admittedly I haven't seen most of them but great looking posters. I've always loved that "The Night Evelyn Came Out Of The Grave" poster. I haven't actually gotten around to watching it yet, however the DVD is in arm's reach as we speak.
-
Hey "e"---glad you like my stuff, but I do have a lot of crap as well. The EVELYN poster is cool--I agree--but I am pretty sure I saw the movie and I'm pretty sure I didn't like it. I do not remember it at all. So if you bought/rented/watched it this evening, I hope it was at your own risk! :-)
Can't wait to see what wonders you come up with next.
Thanks for visiting.
CHEERS!
-
Ah, but I think it's the "crap" I like most though, ha.
And boy oh boy, this movie is surely something. Honestly not sure how I feel about it, far from good yet...hmmm I guess not terrible. I think I will rewatch it at some point before I really develop an opinion.
Oh man I just fell in love with the locandina though:
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T2J7HRlzE74/R_PHTEyCSPI/AAAAAAAAAHM/gT2gmO0xcZk/s1600/IMG_0988.JPG)
-
Oooooo look at that locandina! Very nice. No wonder you had a hankering to see it.
I tell you, I am SURE I saw it. I just have blocked it from my mind. Maybe if I track down a trailer and watch that, it might jog my memory. If I watched it, it was not that long ago.
Here's the trailer:
https://youtu.be/Lcoq6KDeOPI (https://youtu.be/Lcoq6KDeOPI)
Heck, here's the whole freakin' movie:
https://youtu.be/Aq8GQia3Psg (https://youtu.be/Aq8GQia3Psg)
It looks so freakin' familiar. I know I saw it--but apparently it didn't make much of an impression.
Nice locandina though. Thanks for sharing.
-
I can't sleep. Got 2-3 hours of sleep. Woke up. Tossed and turned for an hour before just getting up (at 4 a.m.--ugh!). Thought I'd throw up another poster post---one of the lamest of recent memory (yes, even worse than the last lackluster two posts).
These posters are so dull, maybe they'll put me to sleep again.
Let's see...
DOLLY DEAREST: Ah, yes... the female CHUCKY wannabe. I never saw this, but maybe want to? I'm sure it's trash, but the poster makes it look like fun trash.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/dolly_dearest_dupe1_SD03208_C_zpsqcosfczu.jpg)
THE MAN WHO DIED TWICE: I have no idea what this--but it was cheap. Looks like a noir perhaps? The allure for me? The gimmick that it boasts it's in NATURAMA! What the heck is that? Ooooo.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Man%20Who%20Died%20Twice_zpsy2kskl3z.jpg)
THE SHAGGY DOG: This is a 74 re-release. Nothing special---part of a lot (actually, the bulk of this listing is part of the same lot. Snore!). I never saw this film but probably should. It's a Disney classic, right? Hmm.)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/shaggy_dog_ES00190_C_zpslbvssxwx.jpg)
DREAMSCAPE: Another lot poster. The poster is interesting and the movie should have been far more interesting than it was. A total misfire. Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/dreamscape_ES00190_C_zpsjs9bcg5v.jpg)
LOST IN SPACE: Lot poster--at least it's the cast photo version instead of the stupid poster with the giant LS initials. Another movie that should have been a lot better than it was.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/lost_in_space_dupe2_KM00721_C_zps9iwh9cfy.jpg)
OMEGA SYNDROME: I have no idea what this is--but the art on the poster made me laugh---clearly NOT the intention. Probably a piece of crap movie. Another lot poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/omega_syndrome_ES00190_C_zpswrdtf0nu.jpg)
KULL THE CONQUEROR (remake): They remade this? I missed it--and that was probably a good thing. Kevin Sorbo, TV's HERCULES, in a swashbuckling sword & sandal adventure film (on another planet---or just some enchanted other time?). The ad makes it look more like a CONAN movie, which might appeal to his unsuspecting HERCULES fans. Did this get any hype at all? I remember seeing the original in the theater back in the 80s. Hmm. Another lot poster...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/kull_the_conqueror_KM00721_C_zpsbkfj35rk.jpg)
MANDINGO: Last of the lot posters--I already have this, but... Here is Dino DeLaurentis' sleazy and cheesy and politically incorrect shocker "MANDINGO". I doubt this could get made today. Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/mandingo_ES00190_C_zps1smqjd1w.jpg)
THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER: The photo below is just an example--not the real poster (which is nicer, but has a big watermark on it). This is another of my kiddie matinee posters (Childhood Productions). I may have this one already--but I don't think so, which is why I bought it. Geez! I bet this flick was a stinker. The poor, poor kids who were forced to suffer through this. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/the-prince-and-the-pauper_zpswyorp4zt.jpg)
HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS: Last one for this morning (hopefully I can catch some more sleep...). I've never seen this but heard it's just awful. The title is a hoot though. Stumbled on this and decided to not let it get away. They charge an arm and a leg! Ha!

Hehe

DAWN OF THE DEAD (Thai): Another Thai...and purchased fairly (surprisingly) cheap. Hmm. That has me worried. We'll see what it's like when it finally arrives. If all is good, I'm super pumped to get this. Yowza!
The reason the DAWN OF THE DEAD poster is inexpensive is because of the distributor it came from, APEX FILMS. They are one of the few distributors that actually had a warehouse to keep their posters in. They kept their surplus there for many years until about 5-10 years ago when they went out of business and offered up their extra posters for sale. There were a whole bunch of them and they were purchased for very little by poster sellers. But the sellers are now getting wind of the demand for Thai and the prices are going up. It's why you can find a DAWN poster being sold for $20 from 1 seller and another selling it for $100.

Sounds like the "poster greed truck" is driving thru Thailand, huh, Mike? :-X

I guess if people are willing to pay the price, why not? hitself

ROSA, JEFF, and MIKE---Thank you for visiting.
ROSA, I agree. The tagline on the poster is perfect! :-)
JEFF, the "greed truck" has been pushing poster prices up and up and up for the last few years---and NOT just Thai posters either. Jeepers, things have gotten so costly in the last few years.
MIKE, I need to pick your brain about the Thai posters--the sizes (what are they called?). I have a handful now--several on the previous pages and a few below. Nothing super special, I suppose,but the art is so cool. Some I feel good about getting, others (like SPIDER LABYRINTH) I regret. Oh well, I am learning. And really, YOU are the one who introduced them to me. THANK YOU!
And yes, more posters a go-go below-O!
Here we go-go:
BEASTMASTER (Thai): First of all, the one shown is NOT my copy. The photo of the one I got was kind of hard to see--so I "borrowed" this one from online. But mine does not have the water (?) rolls in it. Isn't this a cool image. I always liked the US poster, but this one adds an extra dimension that the US one can't beat. Just gorgeous Thai work.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Beastmaster%20Thai_zpscud9rgr3.jpg)
BREATHLESS (Thai): Another Thai beauty...and for this one, I have Steve in mind obviously. Ha! The Thai version kind of mimics the US poster with the random things placed on the poster (the gun, the car, the photo, etc.), but where the US poster leaves off, the Thai takes off in fantastic ways. Zowie! Another awesome poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Breathless%20Thai_zps3nyk4cum.jpg)
THE SINKING OF JAPAN aka TIDAL WAVE (French): I like my disaster flicks. I saw TIDAL WAVE (the US version with stupid scenes of Lorne Greene edited in--a la Raymond Burr in the original GODZILLA -- for American audiences to identify with) years and years ago on a grimy bootleg vhs tape. Was it ever put out on an authorized video or DVD? Whatever I saw--barely remember--looked very crappy. But I've been curious about the original film. Saw this French poster and I thought why not? Disaster elements abound in it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Sinking%20of%20Japan%20French%20Tidal%20Wave_zpsmrjzccrs.jpg)
CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST 2 aka THE GREEN INFERNO (French): I know I just got the Thai version of this---with the same art work. EXCEPT, this French version actually does the Thai one better by having a bloody impaled victim below the native's head (the Thai version--gasp!-- did NOT have that feature).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Green%20Inferno%20French_zpsyf5evor1.jpg)
THE LAST SURVIVOR (Spanish): Wow! What a cannibal movie poster--with a giant cannibal face (complete with scary bad teeth) staring you down! Ha! Couldn't refuse it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Last%20Survivor%20Spanish_zps6hnosvjl.jpg)
DAFFY DUCK'S QUACKBUSTERS: What the hell is this crap, you ask? I know. I should have passed. I'm guessing this was a theatrical showing of assorted newer Daffy cartoon shorts. I was attracted because it said it included "THE DUXORCIST:" (!!!) and "NIGHT OF THE LIVING DUCKS" (!!!) Zowie! I gotta see those. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/daffy_ducks_quackbusters_zpsf1bc3ypw.jpg)
CRIMSON PEAK: You know how a new movie comes along and it looks really good--and the poster is impossible to get because the movie looks cool and everyone wants the poster? (I'm looking at YOU, "SPECTRE"!!!) Well, "CRIMSON PEAK" has opened...and turned out to be a dud commercially (I thought it was visually stunning--but failed as a horror movie. It was more of a gothic romance with ghosts thrown in for good measure). What its failure means is that the once difficult to get poster wasn't so difficult to get when i tried this time. Hooray! While I don't expect SPECTRE to flop, there has to be so many zillion copies of the posters out there that I expect prices to drop once the movie is out and the hoopla dies down. (At least I HOPE that's what happens. Argh!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/crimson_peak_teaser_dupe2_WC01070_C_zpsdcssq0sb.jpg)
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN: Like CRIMSON PEAK (and hopefully SPECTRE), you couldn't touch a BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN poster for any reasonable amount of money. You couldn't even find them. Now--shazzam!--I got one in great condition pretty cheap. Hmm. (Fingers crossed for SPECTRE...).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Brokeback%20Mountain_zpskm4yvqqh.jpg)
OCTOPUSSY: The other day, I scored a FOR YOUR EYES ONLY poster. While I had had one (and a copy of OCTOPUSSY) already, they were copies with defects I couldn't deal with. I got the FYEO poster relatively inexpensively and hoped for the same with OCTOPUSSY. There was one at auction last (?) night and, my stars! It went for far more than i wanted to pay. Looking around at various sites I found one for less than half of the price of the one on auction. SOLD!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Octopussy_zps4rtkcm5m.jpg)
AMERICAN GRAFFITI: My last poster tonight was a boo boo purchase. My desktop computer is old and dying...but I still use it all of the time (using it now) and prefer it to a laptop. I was watching an auction earlier this week and trying to put together a post at the same time. I was trying to bring up a picture and was clicking on it. It wasn't working (as sometimes happens--or sometimes it does happen, just very slowly), and then I flipped over (I had been flipping back and forth) to that auction to see if anything I was watching was on yet--or close to being on. No. But somehow that lost click transferred over to the auction page and oops--I had bid on this poster. No one bid against me and oops--it was mine. I never really wanted an AMERICAN GRAFFITI poster before. I wasn't all that ga-ga over the movie. Whatever. The good thing is, is that my boo boo click got me a desirable poster in good shape. The price was high--higher than i'd ever want to pay for this poster because I never wanted it before. However, it could have been in bad shape, or I could have accidentally bid on something that was in the tens of thousands! Yikes! So--happy, lucky accident, i suppose. Does anyone know if the artist for this was the same person who did the poster for DRIVE IN? Looks kind of the same...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/American%20Graffiti_zpsaorpqura.jpg)
I gotta stop buying so much. Jeepers. It wasn't this bad when I was working. All of this sitting around while NOT working has been a bad thing...for my finances. And hello? Wasn't I only going to buy stuff on my bucket list from now on? Oops. Somehow I don't think DAFFY DUCKS QUACKBUSTERS was on the list. ARGH! I gotta stop this frivolous buying.
Have a pleasant evening...
CHEERS!

Not totally true. Interests, genres and posters from various countries can go in cycles, sales or auction-wise. Some are up, others are down; recently it's been the Thai market on the rise, as the numbers have shown. Other countries and/or genres have fallen flat. MikeW just pointed that out with his recent Thai warehouse example, with those buying low, and then re-selling High.
It happens. It's the wild and wacky poster roller coaster ride. ;)
-
Jeff, I just meant the prices of posters in general (especially US one sheets--I've only recently started buying foreign posters, but recall that a few years ago foreign posters were super cheap) have really risen in the last few years. I wasn't referring to a specific genre or country. But, yes, I can see that Thai stuff is really climbing higher than other things now.

Hey Shawn!
This American Graffiti one sheet was illustrated by Mort Drucker, the incredibly talented caricaturist who was a mainstay on Mad Magazine and provided art for numerous other mainstream magazines.
While the Drive-In movie poster art does resemble Drucker's work, it was done by some unidentified artist who was obviously influenced the master.
Good score.

Howdy!
First of all, Ted--thank you for the info on Mort Drucker. Oh man--his art IS "MAD" magazine. I haven't seen an issue in years, but when (if he hasn't already) he retires, the magazine will NEVER be the same. His style IS the magazine. I can now totally see it in the AMERICAN GRAFFETI poster too. (I wonder if he also did the MAD magazine spoof of the movie? Ha!)
Now here is the last of my new (to me) poster purchases from the last several weeks. Once I get this posted, I intend to "take a break" from the Forum for a while. Since being off of work, I've spent far too much time shopping for posters (literally CHARGING up thousands of dollars in the process. Smart! NOT!) and spending way too much time online perusing the forum (and drooling all over the screen while looking at other scrumptious posters...and then going shopping some more, and continuing the vicious and costly cycle!). There are so many OTHER things I need to do or could be doing instead. I could write some articles for the newspaper (and earn some much needed CASH), I could pack up stuff to send to auction, I could write the (Not-So-) Great American Novel, or I could clean my bathroom (o' the horror!). Heck, just getting my laundry put away would be a major achievement. I'm sure I won't be away long--I'm such a poster addict/whore. But I hope to be away at least a week, through Halloween at the very least (but longer would be better--financially! Ha!).
Anyway, here are the last o' the spending spree batch:
THE WOLFMAN: Out of this crop, this is the poster I regret getting the most. THE WOLFMAN? I didn't recall any recent WOLFMAN movie. I certainly didn't recall the poster. I was unsure about it, but it was kind of cool looking. I bid the lowest amount, assuming I'd be outbid. No one bothered. And then I remembered there WAS a recent WOLFMAN movie--that sucked o' soooo much (and was overly long. UGH!). No wonder no one bid against me...but I still don't remember this poster. Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Wolfman_zpsl6r1munr.jpg)
SCREAM BLOODY MURDER: This is not the most attractive poster in the world by a long shot, but I have long been wanting a copy. It's an alternate one sheet for SCREAM BLOODY MURDER (I don't want to say it's a Style B, because it might be a re-release or something else. I'm just not sure) and it's got some great exploitative/gimmick stuff going on here. I'm such a sucker for gimmicks. In addition to its claim that it is the "first motion picture to be called Gore-nography", there is also the blurb that screams "You will be required to have a Scream Bloody Murder Blindfold upon entering the theatre. Free with ticket purchase." Zowie! I want a Scream Bloody Murder Blindfold! (I'm sure some critic pointed out that the blindfolds came in handy so you didn't have to watch the entire crappy movie--not just the gory parts. I haven't seen the film, but you know how critics are. They almost always hate horror flicks.)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Scream%20Bloody%20Murder_zps2v9nytrs.jpg)
THE PHOENIX (Thai): I know nothing about this movie other than it stars Richard "Jaws" Kiel (he's the giant in the center) and the poster features incredible Thai art as usual.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Phoenix%20Thai_zpsznq9xcgm.jpg)
NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN (Thai): Oooo... Gotta get my Thai Bonds going. Might as well start with this one. Although not part of the official series, it still stars Sean Connery. Yowza!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Never%20Say%20Never%20Again%20Thai_zpsbaxel1va.jpg)
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (Thai): Zoinks! Freddy Kreuger--Thai style. Like my "BOOGEY MAN" poster, it takes the original poster art and cranks it up a couple of notches to become a cool "must have"! Wowzer!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/A%20Nightmare%20on%20Elm%20Street%20Thai_zpsurnnnewt.jpg)
SAW (International): When I was shopping, I realized I had nothing from the "SAW" series...and thought that was a mistake, as down the road they might obtain a cult following (and poster costs would go up). So I decided to get a poster for the first film. (Aside from the clever use of two fingers for part 2 and three teeth for part 3, let's face it, the SAW sequel posters sucked.) I'd have preferred the more common one sheet, but this one came my way. Still creepy/gruesome. Not too expensive either. Sold.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/saw_arm_style_intl_WC00740_C_zpsv7wglkc3.jpg)
ONE MILLION AC/DC: Hmm.. I was finally hoping to score a ONE MILLION BC... Ha! Not gonna happen, apparently. But I came across this poster. Being the purveyor of trash, er...uh, posters of obscure and questionable content, I wasn't gonna let this one pass me by. Hello? It has half naked cave people battling a dinosaur on top while half naked (or more) cave people are doing other things (oh my!) in a cavern under ground. Jeepers!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/one_million_ac_and_dc_SD03465_C_zpsv0nmoob9.jpg)
CURSE OF THE DOLL PEOPLE / THE VAMPIRE: This last poster I've wanted for ages. It is a combo poster for two silly Mexican horror movies from the 60s. It features a great gimmick "FREE! From the vampire's blood bank...Blood Cocktails. Can you drink them?" Zowie! Plus, who doesn't like taking "a psychedelic trip into the 5th dimension"? Sign me up! Sure the artwork is weak and it's just a black and white thing--but it calls to me. One auctioned off a week or so ago and went way, way higher than I could/world go...and then this one fell into my lap for only about a tenth of what the auctioned one went for. Crazy awesome!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Curse%20of%20the%20Doll%20People%20and%20The%20Vampire%20combo_zpse02pnmdr.jpg)
Anyway, that is it for now. Have a super go-go groovy Halloween!
CHEERS!

Hey very nice Thai pickups. The PHOENIX is a great poster, I've got one as well. NIGHTMARE is a total classic. Be advised the NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN is a re-release of the poster. The original release is larger and has a PEPSI logo in the blank white spot just above the DOLBY logo. This is one of those posters along with NIGHTMARE that comes from the APEX warehouse. I did a serious observation of the NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN poster when I was trying to figure out if it was original or not and found something interesting. If you look at Connery's forehead you will see that there is damage to the artwork that starts just at the bottom of the silencer....it looks like the printing plate was actually damaged and they painted over the damage or something like that. That's when I finally figured out that the large one I had was the actual original (no damage). A year later it was confirmed. It is an original, it's just that it's a re-release and that's why there are so many floating around. It's an awesome poster.
1st release

Enjoy your one week hiatus from the forum! EMP Halloween Auction is about to start... probably good timing to avoid temptation
-
Steve--Thought you'd like that one.
Mike--Glad you signed on. I hope you get this note. I'm a bit bummed to learn NEVER SAY NEVER is a re-release (or just a print?). I'm learning... My question is about THE PHOENIX. In the upper left hand corner there is a logo that looks like the old CINERAMA logo, but with Thai characters instead. Could it be?? That sounds a bit crazy, but it's there and I thought I'd ask.
Okay--over and out. Happy Halloween everyone.
CHEERS!

Yeah I don't think that has to do with Cinerama, but who knows. It's actually a fantasy film made in Taiwan. Here is IMDB info on it, nothing about CINERAMA is mentioned.

Great detail close ups on the Never Say Never, Mike. thumbsup.gif
You can also see a difference in the print quality / contrast between the original and the later rr, and a difference in the depth of color, too.
Very cool stuff, MAGG! I especially like the Del Toro Wolfman and Thai NOES posters!!

So I'm BACK, from outer space!
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face.
I should have changed that stupid lock.
I should have made you leave your key...
Why the heck am I writing the lyrics to an old disco song? Ha!
But I really am back from outer space. I circled Uranus and barely escaped the gravitational pull of a giant black hole! If it hadn't been for a blast of some evil and deadly space gas that escaped from the black hole and knocked me free from its gravitational clutches, who knows what horrors I might have encountered? EEEK!
Yeah, I'm BORED!!!
Hello! How are you? How was your Halloween? I got out of town and...did absolutely NOTHING. Waaagh! My favorite holiday shot to hell again. Waaaagh!
But I'm back on. I was planning to stay away longer---but my poster addiction won't let me. Ha!
And, of course, I picked up a few things (there was this out of this world little poster shop on this out of the way asteroid on one of Saturn's rings) and have pictures here to share with you. Nothing too exciting. You'll see. Hang on though. I need to acknowledge my visitors--as I always do.
Let's see...
Ooooo Mr. Wright . Thanks for the IMDB link. How curious that this film, from the late 70s (released in 1980), is considered "lost". How does that happen--especially with home video just taking off about then. Too bad. The film sounded interesting.
Crazy Vick: I DID take it easy, pal! Unlike you, with the new Crazy Baby in the Crazy Household. I'll bet you've had very little rest. Poor guy. I took it easy for YOU!.
Hi Jeff. Glad you like the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET...very much like the US version, but pushed to the next level with that groovy renderings of scenes from the flick in the upper left/right sides. Those Thais really know how to punch it up. Also glad you like the WOLFMAN poster. It's different than the US version--but the film was sooo dull (to me anyway). It could have been great but completely missed the mark. The poster is nice though, I suppose.
Rosa, how are you? No--i did not have any Halloween party to go to. I just got out of town for a bit...and was bored there too. How was YOUR Halloween? Have any fun?
Ted--Yes, ONE MILLION AC/DC. I thought you'd appreciate that one. Ha! No Raquel Welch, but... Ha!
Lynaron! What an unexpected and welcome surprise. You rarely stop by. I'm glad you did. Your little joke was great. Truly electrifying. THANKS! Ha!
Okay... Here's the latest. Again--nothing to get too excited about. Just minor stuff really.
First, although I already have two copies of this (and you remember THOSE dramas. UGH!), I couldn't help myself when I stumbled upon another copy of the poster for the first Olga movie, "WHITE SLAVES OF CHINATOWN". It's in pretty rough shape--like Madame Olga herself was torturing it. Poor little poster. What sort of sordid and degrading life has it had until it came to live with me? What sort of shocking and shameful existence will it have once I sell this puppy off? I don't know what I was thinking. Oh well... I have another one--for the moment any way. These films were extremely low budget garbage--no sync sound, usually just a narrator. It amazes me that these little piece o' crap movies were popular enough to make 5 of them altogether. Ha! They're not for everyone, but I dig 'em. The posters for them are soooo rare though. Jeepers.
Oh my stars! From 1964, here is the trashy trailer--NSFW (Not Safe For Work): https://youtu.be/g5ui4gLphpg (https://youtu.be/g5ui4gLphpg) And here (gasp!) is the whole sordid NSFW flick: https://youtu.be/Vwc3zEuyevM (https://youtu.be/Vwc3zEuyevM)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/White%20Slave%20of%20Chinatown%20no.%203_zpsgipuz1ht.jpg)
ILSA THE TIGRESS OF SIBERIA:
Sticking with sexploitation, most exploitation film critics film agree that the sleazy little Olga flicks were the inspiration for the Ilsa flicks. Here is the poster for the third (and final) Ilsa film (there is a fourth, but it's a retitling and re-dubbing of another movie with similar themes and the same female star. That is "Ilsa the Wicked Warden" formerly "Greta the Wicked Warden"), "Ilsa The Tigress of Siberia". I already have a poster for this film, but it just reads "The Tigress" (as most of the US one sheets do) or possibly "The Tigress of Siberia". I had been looking and looking for a poster, in English, with the full title "Ilsa The Tigress of Siberia"--but had never seen one until recently. Zowie! I could NOT let it escape me.
Here's the NSFW Trailer https://youtu.be/cGCJX92P3mQ (https://youtu.be/cGCJX92P3mQ)

THE SINNERS:
I came across some "bad girl" posters the other day. This one is from the early 1950s. Shocking! Scandalous! Oh my stars! I have no idea what the flick is about, but it was sleazy-cool. So daring! So frank! So shocking!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/0beb6965-6145-48f0-ab01-bd49e0352fbe_zps3uepqfuz.jpg)
THAT KIND OF GIRL:
Here's another "bad girl" flick. Apparently this is a British VD/exploitation flick that was released here as "TEENAGE TRAMP". Any of you know her? Shocking! I'd never heard of it before, but have since found the trailer (below). It looks like a hoot, like something SOMETHING WEIRD VIDEO would put out (they probably do). This is the kind of poster (I have a few posters of a similar nature) I would sometimes hang in my guest room and would put a little piece of paper over the plexiglass that would read something like " (Female guest name) is... 'That Kind of Girl' ", as if my guest were the star. Ha. It was a very subtle little gag and they didn';t always see it. But it was funny when they did.

(A TASTE OF) HOT LEAD:
This 1969 film I also knew nothing about until I picked up the poster. It's a nudie/roughie from just before out and out porn was legal, and probably something SOMETHING WEIRD would have for sale. The NSFW trailer is below. The film is supposed to be in color, but the trailer is so washed out--everyone looks green. Some of the narration is funny, but it's typical nudie/roughie stuff. I did like the poster though...nothing special but bound to be rare. Curiously though, the title seems to be "A Taste of Hot Lead", but the title on the poster is just "Hot Lead". (I actually like the shorter title better). By the way, the one shown is NOT my poster. This picture, found online, shows it better than the photo of the auction I bought it from.

THE EROTIC ADVENTURES OF ZORRO:
I have the posters for THE EROTIC ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO and the X-rated ALICE IN WONDERLAND, so why not THE EROTIC ADVENTURES OF ZORRO? In the poster, notice he has carved a "z" in the lady he is fighting's fanny? Ha. Clever. The movie doesn't look that good though. NSFW trailer is below:

A while ago i posted the Italian poster for this flick. It was just a photo of the scantily clad stars. The reason i had gotten it, is because I had actually seen this flick and it was so jaw-droppingly bizarre-o, I had to have it. I saw it under the title "ADAM AND EVE VS THE CANNIBALS" (even though the cannibals are only in the flick for about 5 minutes). The poster I just got (shown below) was the cover art used ("Versus the Cannibals" was the subtitle though--not the "First Love Story" crap). It was such a wonderfully and deliriously bad movie, I decided to scoop up this poster as well. And guess what? I found the movie for YOU to enjoy (or not) as well. Ha!
Here is the whole partially NSFW movie: https://youtu.be/P6nt39t7AgA (https://youtu.be/P6nt39t7AgA)

CANNIBALS:
I finally saw this movie this past weekend...after I had already purchased the poster. Ha! Oh well, the poster is kind of fun even if the movie is utter crap (a Jess Franco flick). Also known as "Mondo Cannibal" (as are several other cannibal flicks, such as "The Man From Deep River") and "White Cannibal Queen", this masTURDpiece features cannibals that not only eat human flesh, they appear to be starving and gorge themselves as soon as they kill someone. No cooking. No taking them back to share with the rest of the folks in the cannibal village...just dive in and start chewing and ripping pieces off--even while the victim is alive. Zowie! I kind of doubt any cannibal tribe anywhere was ever that hungry. Al ("Zombie") Cliver stars as an archeologist who gets his arm whacked off by the cannibals. His wife gets killed/eaten and his daughter is kidnapped. Years later, he goes back in search of her and discovers she's grown up to be a very bad actress who is frequently nude and is also the tribe's white goddess. Can he get her home safely--or will the cannibals make a meal out of the rest of him? Here's a very hard to see trailer below.

VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS:
Is there anyone who hasn't seen this groovy flick from Bert I. Gordon (aka Mr. B.I.G.)? Teenagers (including Beau Bridges, Toni Basil and Joy Harmon) eat a goo accidentally created by super genius, little Ronny Howard and zoom to super size. They go-go dance in slow motion and wear skimpy outfits...and take over the town!!! EEK! Also featuring the Beau Brummels and a super groovy theme song. I already had a copy of the poster--but this copy was too cheap (under $20?? Really??) to pass up.
Trailer: https://youtu.be/Oa2dTcxwOMI (https://youtu.be/Oa2dTcxwOMI). Here's the whole film: https://youtu.be/TBLbnuEtr0U (https://youtu.be/TBLbnuEtr0U). And, zowie! Here's the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version: https://youtu.be/KTsP_kuglp8 (https://youtu.be/KTsP_kuglp8). Here's a bonus clip with the groovy theme music and giant slo-mo go-go dancing giants and the scene from the poster (with the guy holding on to the giant's chest: https://youtu.be/Gh5h3zzVtKw (https://youtu.be/Gh5h3zzVtKw). And here's a clip just for Steve: https://youtu.be/hfPghWET0tA (https://youtu.be/hfPghWET0tA).

EVILS OF THE NIGHT:
I knew nothing about this movie--but have long wanted the poster. It looks like it's by the same cheezy artist who did "DR BUTCHER" perhaps? It looks like a crappy flick, but the artwork is fun. You've got what, at first glance, could almost be the Millennium Falcon swooping down from the sky, a terrified girl with a tube attached to her jugular, spewing blood up to a pair of creepy creatures in a bubble, while creepy hands grab her from below...and what an amazingly craptacular cast! Neville Brand, Aldo Ray, Julie Newmar, John Carradine and Tina Louise!!!! Wow! I may have to see that movie sometime for the cast alone. Or not.
Trailer: https://youtu.be/Fdso2Phy360 (https://youtu.be/Fdso2Phy360) Minute version of the whole movie: https://youtu.be/wvFJ2_XqFDo (https://youtu.be/wvFJ2_XqFDo)

TERROR IN THE JUNGLE:
I usually don't post more than 10 posters at a time, but here's a lucky 11th poster (because---oops! I already had the title, poster image link and film clip link on here ready to go before adding the text...and counting the number of posters I was listing). You are thinking, "Terror in the Jungle"? This looks like absolute crap. Why bother? I am fairly certain I already have this poster--but saw this cheap copy and snatched it up. Oh my stars--this film should be better known than it is. It should be a cult flick. It's so awesome...well, the first half hour is the best part of the whole movie. The last hour...eh. It's kind of lame--and forgettable. But that first half hour---just amazing!
The film was made by three different directors, and it shows. The first half hour was directed by Tom DeSimone, who would later go on to direct gay porn (!). Ha! Oh, i WISH I could find the trailer or the whole movie or even just the first half hour to share with you. I found a short clip (below) and that's but a tasty little sample of the pure insane joy of that first 30 minutes. The film is about a kid whose parents are divorced. He lives with his dad in Florida, but he has to go visit mom who lives in South America somewhere. So off he goes with his stuffed toy leopard all alone. Once at the plane, we meet this wonderful assortment of cliched characters. There's the starlet (she's the one dancing in the clip) who just got her big break and is off to film the movie that will make her a star. Then there is the rich woman, being stalked by the paparazzi, who was just acquitted of murdering her husband and is traveling with all of her millions in cash. There is the really bad wannabe Beatles-like band, traveling in their performing outfits. They all look too old and are obviously wearing wigs (they'll be in the video performing a song live on the plane--but clearly are not singing it and the song fades out like a recording). And then there are the nuns aboard with a coffin containing a dead nun--taking it back to wherever they came from. There's an argumentative couple, etc. All of these great characters in what plays like a low budget precursor to the "AIRPORT" films. I won't give away what happens, but it is just jaw-dropping insane and brilliant. I really, REALLY love that first half hour of film. Bravo!!!! Highly recommended (if you love trash cinema). That's why I am thrilled with this poster. Check out the doofy clip below.

Welcome back!!! I had not seen you post in a little while. I have been the same though. Between painting the mural, being sick, and working on my website I haven't had much time to post or buy many posters. I am also trying hard to refrain from buying posters until I finish the website. So I can free myself from this undocumented pile of paper. Once I get everything added, it will be pretty easy to maintain!!! Anyway good to see you again.. that Erotic adventures of Zorro made me laugh.

Thank you for sharing!!

TERROR INTHE JUNGLE looks brilliantly bad. And guess what...IMDB says it also stars Bob Burns! My guess is he shows up in his famous gorilla suit. I must find this film...

And don't mess with Ilsa, the Tigress of Siberia. She sure looks like she means business with her blade and various 'modes' of expression. piratemel

Welcome back man, nice posters too! Particularly the Ilsa and Evils of the Night posters. I saw the Evils of the Night poster on ebay a few months back and almost bought it. I too have never seen it but I love that poster.

Hi everyone. Glad you liked the new crop o' posters!

Hey Gingerman! Painting murals?? Huh? What's that all about? How exciting! Share some photos, please! Sick? Bummer dude. Hopefully you are getting better. I'd like to see your website also when you are done. Glad you liked the "Zorro" poster. Cheers!

Hola, Rosa! It's always a pleasure to see you stopping by. I am also wildly pleased (and perplexed) that my trashy-tacky-cheesy poster collection pleases you. Thanks for the kind words.

Jedgerley!!! Hi there! Thanks for coming by. Good to see you. Glad you also like my...uh, "taste" (some say I have NO taste, but...) in posters. Ugh...I so need a 12 step program. You too, huh? Of course, I'm such a poster whore addict slave, that I probably need a 15 or 21 step program. I'm that far gone... HELP!!!
TERROR INTHE JUNGLE looks brilliantly bad. And guess what...IMDB says it also stars Bob Burns! My guess is he shows up in his famous gorilla suit. I must find this film...
Mr. Wright! Hi Mike (I like saying Mr. Wright...is that okay?). I really love TERROR IN THE JUNGLE (well, the first third). It IS gloriously bad. I don't recall a gorilla suit, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is one in there. (Spoiler) If a toy stuffed leopard can magically become real for a little while, why NOT a guy in a gorilla suit? Ha!
Welcome back man, nice posters too! Particularly the Ilsa and Evils of the Night posters. I saw the Evils of the Night poster on ebay a few months back and almost bought it. I too have never seen it but I love that poster.
e!! How are you? You digging belonging to APF still? So glad you joined! Glad you like the Ilsa (see below) and the EVILS OF THE NIGHT posters. EVILS is kinda cheesy looking, but still cool. Keep your eye out. The dealer who has been selling them I am reasonably sure got a bulk lot of them from an auction site. If it is him, he is selling them at marked up prices. They'll come down because they haven't been selling--and he has a lot of them (if he got them where I think he got them). Just keep your eye out for them...and some day you WILL score one. Good luck!
And don't mess with Ilsa, the Tigress of Siberia. She sure looks like she means business with her blade and various 'modes' of expression. piratemel
Hi Jeff. Yes, don't mess with Ilsa is right! Yikes! I ran into her last year and, as tiny as she is (who knew? She seems so statuesque in the movies), she still forced me to hold up some poster for her latest direct-to-video movie. I had to comply...or face being tossed to the dogs, castrated, electrocuted, or WORSE!!! And at 70-something, look at her all decked out in leather! You better do what she says--or ELSE!

And now, I must dash! I'll be gone again the rest of the weekend. I have a friend in town--my oldest friend I've known since high school (the ONLY person I still know from then). She's in town to help her sister out--and wants me to hang out with her all weekend and have a little "slumber party". Hmm. While I'm NOT thrilled at the slumber party aspect (Hello? I'm a 50 year old dude--and no, it's NOT that kind of relationship), I am looking forward to hanging out with her. So I'll catch you all later.
CHEERS and thanks again for saying hello!
Cha-cha-cha!

Now I wonder if this one was also originally produced too as a OS? Guessing no...

Doing good, loving it here. Yes, the Evils poster is quite cheesy, I LOVE it ;D. The movie looks to be on the same level, if not more. I'll have to be on the lookout for one, I'm definitely not going near those expensive ones on ebay currently. Cool you got to meet Ilsa, and man she really is alot shorter than I expected. Well, have a great rest of your weekend!

Hi! I'm B-A-C-K again and OH NOOOOOOooooo! I did it to myself again. Today was the big finale to the Halloween auction on emovie AND another Heritage auction. i bid big before leaving and when I get back....oh no. What did I do to myself? Ouch. Needless to say I was NOT outbid on much. There are still two things waiting for the final gavel to strike on heritage and I HOPE I get outbid. Argh! (They should be done by the time I finish this posting...so I'll let you know. Fingers crossed I lose them--and I "won" far too much already. Crap-o-rama ding-dong!)
Okay, last time I poster posted, I said I had some things obtained from our fellow poster posting peeps out there in APF land. Zowie! I'll share those (and other things) in a moment. But first let me say HEY to those who've visited since I was last on.
Ah I have this poster too. Thanks Brandon for the info. The 75 theatres includes Canada I hear.

Hi Jedgerley! Yes, Brandon was awesome for supplying the info (and I still wish i'd been able to see the flick. Darn it all!). The posters for PIRANHA 3DD are so hard to find. I totally wish/hope they made one sheets for the one above--but you can't really count on it. Just be glad we at least scored the ones we have.
Doing good, loving it here. Yes, the Evils poster is quite cheesy, I LOVE it ;D. The movie looks to be on the same level, if not more.

Well, have a great rest of your weekend!
Hey Mister e (get it?) I am so glad to hear you are enjoying yourself here. There are a great bunch of people on here--and a whole lot more I have not even really "met" yet. And yes, as i said earlier, I am pretty sure you'll be able to get a cheaper copy of EVILS eventually. Yes, Ilsa IS short in real life--but don't ever let her hear you say that, otherwise she'll look gigantic as she is crushing your face into the carpet with one of her steel-toed boots! Yikes! :-)

Gingerman--WOW! I'm glad you are feeling better--and look at you GO! I completely missed the discussion on the mural AND your website, both of which look AWESOME! Bravo! Well done. I use this page as my version of a website to keep track of what I have. The stuff on here is only what I've gotten since I started this thread (with a few noted exceptions, of course). I have way, way, WAY too many (been collecting since I was a kid) to do what you are doing---so I applaud that effort on your part. Congrats! And you're NOT going to venture out and buy posters from before 1980? (I bet it happens someday... Hee hee hee!) Cheers!
Okay--now on to the posters...
SLEEPWALKERS:
The first item I'd like to call your attention to comes from Jeff/erik1925! He PMed me and wanted to know if I'd like to buy a subway poster. He recently got a SLEEPWALKERS subway and got a 2nd one as well. He offered me a good price for it and--SOLD! This is my first subway! I do NOT have the room to take a photo of it, so I'm using a picture of one found online--it's a pretty awful picture though. See Jeff's post about his in the October new additions link--to give you an idea of what I have. AWESOMENESS! It's HUGE. THANK YOU JEFF!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/4f6b39b1-13fd-4a5e-8741-b69722df19ba_zpsbsy4bppg.jpg)
Next, i have proof that Ari, the wonder down under, has truly lost his mind and is completely insane...or is the most amazingly nice guy you could ever hope to meet. Ari approached me a while back. He told me about his website where he sells various types of posters among other things. He had previously sent me a super surprise package as a sort of universal offering to nurses everywhere--which was so cool--and the stuff I ordered from his was super cool too. (Both the gift and the ordered posters have already been posted. Scroll back a bit to see them). Ari kept threatening to include some extra goodies with my order. After the incredibly generous surprise package, there was no way I was going to accept anything extra...and I flat out told him NO EXTRA GOODIES. The packages (one flat, one rolled) arrived and they were filled with bonus surprises! Oh my stars! Ari--you crazy wonderful guy--you are going to give all of your stock away! I only ordered a handful of items--just 3 or 4--and he sent 8 (EIGHT!!!) bonus goodies along! Oh my STARS!!!!! Here they are:
NAKED TO HELL:
I know NOTHING about this title (or a lot of the titles that Ari sent), so I'll have to do some research very soon. The poster almost looks like something from Harry Novak's Box Office International, maybe? I can't find the title on IMDB.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/MonsterFREEBIES_zpslfn8gdmx.jpeg)
HELL'S CREATURES:
Clearly a Paul Naschy wolfman flick. I'm guessing this one is what was released here as FRANKENSTEIN'S BLOODY TERROR perhaps? What "size" is that, Ari? Very cool horror image Naschy--and in gruesome green! Spooky groovy!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/MonsterFREEBIES_1_zpsegphhldk.jpeg)
COSI DOLCE... COSI PERVERSA (aka SO SWEET... SO PERVERSE):
This is an Umberto Lenzi giallo from long before he made CANNIBAL FEROX. I've never seen it, but those Italian giallos are often weirdly good. It's been on my list to see and now I have the locandia (sp?) to egg me on! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/MonsterFREEBIES_2_zpspwehtqhs.jpeg)
A TRANSYLVANIAN WEREWOLF IN AMERICA (aka FULL MOON HIGH):
Oh my stars! Ari, I just remembered. I was originally going to buy this poster--as I was curious about it (very clever rip-off title from AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON). When you told me it was actually FULL MOON HIGH, i changed my mind and got something else. Thank you--but I KNOW this was on your site as being for sale. Oh Ari! You ARE losing money by being so super duper nice. Never saw this--but this poster kind of makes me want to. Hmm. (I still like this rip-off title better than FULL MOON HIGH). Anyway, this film stars Adam Arkin--and if that's him on the center of the poster, he does look a little like a chubby version of David "An American Werewolf in London" Naughton, I guess. Look at the rest of the cast--Ha! Ed (Johnny Carson's TONIGHT SHOW sidekick) McMahon? Kenneth (WHAT'S UP DOC?/YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN) Mars? Demond (Lamont from SANFORD AND SON) Wilson? JM (Monroe from TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT) Bullock? ROZ (Pinky Tuscadero) KELLY? Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/MonsterFREEBIES_3_zpsvukuqn5d.jpeg)
NIKOS THE IMPALER:
How did I miss this flick? It stars Felissa ("Sleepaway Camp") Rose, Lloyd (Troma) Kaufman, and Debbie Rochon. Aside from that, I know nothing about it. Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/MonsterFREEBIES_6_zpsubk59jik.jpeg)
DIE NONNE VON MONZA:
Another flick I'll need to investigate. Apparently THE LADY OF MONZA is an early nunsploitation flick. Hmm. Could be cool... I'll have to check it out.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/MonsterFREEBIES_7_zps4dgevrkg.jpeg)
DEAD AND BURIED (Thai):
Oh my stars! I have almost purchased this poster several times since discovering Thai. Zowie--the Thai DEAD & BURIED. I'm not so sure about now, but back in the 80s and 90s Fresno was sometimes used as a test market for movies. DEAD & BURIED was tested here with an alternate (and ultimately unused) title, "LOOK ALIVE". I have the film on DVD, but have never seen it yet. I may also have the poster (I wonder if one exists with the alternate, tested title?)--but the Thai poster is just that much more WOW-y with the extras that have been added to it. Jeepers! How cool.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/MonsterFREEBIES_5_zpsamwdtftp.jpeg)
ERASERHEAD promo mask:
I have wanted one of these for the longest time. Never got around to getting one--until now. Yowza! I'll probably never track down an ERASERHEAD poster, but these cool promo masks (given out to promote ERASERHEAD playing midnight shows) is the next best thing. Kowabunga! It sings to me--like the lady in the radiator! :-)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/MonsterFREEBIES_4_zpsmuhqvdk2.jpeg)
[ Auction update! OOoooo! Yes! I've been outbid on one of the two items. One left to go. Fingers crossed I do NOT get it. ]
HERCULES, SAMSON AND ULYSSES:
My final poster tonight is for another old Hercules flick from the 60s, "HERCULES, SAMSON AND ULYSSES". I have another copy of this--but it's rather rough. I haven't seen this flick (or have I?). That's okay--just a habit picking up old Herc posters when i see them.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/hercules_samson_and_ulysses_BM04844_C_zpsytloy6hu.jpg)
Okay--that';s 10 new listings and... I was outbid on that 2nd item too! Yahoo! (Of course--there's all of the things I DID win on emovie and heritage tonight I'll have to pay for. UGH! I'll post those and others once the dust clears. GEEZ! How do i constantly do this to myself?)
Thank you Jeff and and especially Ari (shame on you--you were not supposed to send anything else! GRR!) for feeding my addiction further. Ha!
CHEERS!

Glad you like it and that it got to you safe n sound. :D

Yes it did and it's creepy cool and H-U-G-E! I just wish I had a better photo to illustrate it. Oh well.
THANK YOU again!
CHEERS!

They are identical, so here's my image, until u can snap your pic, Shawn. ;D

GoGo...thank you sir. I have very few items pre 1980....I will eventually get some stuff pre 1980 but that era is my focus. It represents about 25% of my current collection. I haven't even touched stuff like Jaws, Back to the Future, Robocop, Ferris, and so on...
I actually won a poster tonight pre 1980. A copy of The Omen from the 70s.
I wanted to build the site before the collection gets to stinking big, like what you have!!!! It will be easy to add onto. I also am already unhappy with the 1980's section......for example I broke them up by pairs 80/81 82/83..but alpabetically..Well 84/85 We had Romancing the Stone in 84 and Jewel of the Nile in 85..so by grouping them together Jewel shows first via the alpha standard....and it bugs me moron1 because Jewel was 2nd.....
In other news I love the Thai Dead and Buried!!!! Do any of your thai posters have censorship stamps? I was looking at some today, a few had ink-pad style stamps, but one had an embossed stamp... I am going to look into it and see if I can figure out why????
I also am the proud owner of one of those Erasehead masks!!!!
cheers

Gingerman!
Hi there--and congrats on your (gasp) pre-1980 poster win tonight. THE OMEN is a great movie even still today (and better than the remake). Speaking of 70s, in your list of 80s titles (Back to the Future, Robocop, Ferris, etc.) you mentioned JAWS. While 3 and 4 were 80s, JAWS the original and Jaws 2 were both 70s! :-)
Why not redo those first few 80s sections and just do one year a page. You already have 200 posters in a year's time. You WILL fill up every year if you do it one year at a time--believe me. That way you won't have the JEWEL/ROMANCING thing bugging you. (I have that problem alphabetizing DVDs...for example,BRIDE OF CHUCKY comes before CHILD'S PLAY 1, 2, and 3. GRRR!)
I love the Thai DEAD & BURIED too. I love all of the Thai stuff I've gotten...but I have not noticed any censorship stamps. Well,one had a pink stamp in the border..ink stamp, nothing embossed. How weird. Maybe Mike Wright (the Thai Guy) knows about that?
Those Eraserhead masks are so fun (and the movie is pre-80s, not sure if the masks are though. Ha!)
Thanks for popping by. I need to get out and explore the rest of the site. i haven't done that yet since getting back on. Maybe I'll get to it tomorrow.
CHEERS!

You sir are exactly correct, Jaws is from the 70's.....I always forget that because the film retained so much attention into the early 1980's I saw it in the 80s so I attach the experience to the time frame, if that makes sense...I might also just go ahead and break up the 80's...I still might do it by pairs, but doing them separate 80 then 81 for example on the same page....I still need to do the 90s 00s 10s..horror...disney......haha I think I am going to remove the thai section because all of the thai stuff I have is horror....just make one horror page
Speaking of older than 80s I have a really cool Aussie Horizontal daybill of Dementia 13...those creepy eyes..looks kinda like the grinch imho
and of course Kong r50s.....
I am off to sleep, have a good night and let me know if you see any errors on the site or have any suggestions!!!

Hola, Rosa! It's always a pleasure to see you stopping by. I am also wildly pleased (and perplexed) that my trashy-tacky-cheesy poster collection pleases you. Thanks for the kind words.
Hola Shawn! Perplexed...oh..boy..why?! Love your collection!!!! I think most of us here when we say how much we like a poster or collection what we do is to celebrate the collector as much as the poster. I am sure I speak for many here when I say that we all like your enthusiasm and posters. what is there NOT to like anyway :)

I still remember with vivid clarity, seeing Jaws when it first came out. There was so much fright being expressed at times (from the totally full theater), that it was sometimes hard to hear and understand the dialog. And talk about the one scream of several hundred people, when the head pops out of the hole in the sunken boat that Dreyfuss is exploring!!
OMG!! That shriek made the scene twice as scary! jawdrop

glad you like them,
Dead and Buried has aged VERY well, superb film, truly original.
One of those "horror" films that seem to stand alone, like The Wicker man, in they are genuinely creepy.
Hells Creatures and Naked to Hell are both Aussie daybills.
The Erasure head Promo Mask was given out at Midnight screenings in NYC, sometime after Blue Velvet was released,
I got the NIKOS poster direct from the star JOE ZASO, just for interest sake, its a pretty fun movie, by German Goremeister ANDREAS SCHNAAS.
Full Moon High is kinda fun if you like the LARCO "stuff" (like the stuff or Q the winged serpent etc)
anyway enjoy

Happy Monday. Where did the day go already? Jinkies. It was dark by 5 p.m. and now, as 7 p.m. approaches, it feels like the day is completely over with--and the mail hasn't even come yet! Blah... Maybe I'm just out of it because I'm constipated? Probably...
Hey Gingerman, keep me posted on your website and I'll check back in. I so wish i'd had the ability to do that way back when. I'm very envious. And yes, i have seen your groovy DEMENTIA 13 poster I think. It has an alternate title, if I recall. You either posted it on your page or on the monthly new acquisitions thread. Very creepy cool. i think I even commented on it. Thanks for popping by.
Rosa, hi there. Yes, i'm a bit perplexed by your enthusiasm for my page/posters. I get what you are saying but from my point of view, although I love my posters, I see them as just trash/poster junk food compared to all of the other fabulous and refined (and expensive) posters out there. I'm glad you dig them though. Yabba Dadda Doo!
Hey Jeff. I know you were addressing Gingerman, but I, too, remember seeing "JAWS" in the theater. However, I was 10 when it came out and there was NO WAY my mom would let me see it. So--(shocking true confession)--I had to wait until the re-release to finally see it (and I went and saw it several times during the re-release. Ha!). Awesome film--and that moment with the head was incredible. Biggest scare in the film. During later viewings you know it is coming and it STILL gets you. (By the way, I also had to see "JAWS 2" during its re-release. But I did see "Jaws 3D" and "Jaws the Revenge" during first-run engagements.)
ARI, you are most gracious and generous. I am still beside myself. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!!! I am still in shock by your immense kindness. Zowie!
Okay--onto the latest edition of the Shock-A-Rama Poster Show. Here's the next batch o' 10 posters to share.
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY: THE GHOST DIMENSION:
I know...I know... You are thinking who gives a ding-dang-dong darn about the overly tired PARANORMAL ACTIVITY movies--or their posters. I agree completely (Please let this one have been the LAST one!). The reason this is here and in my collection, is because there is a new theater in town (The Maya or Mayan?) and they gladly give out their old posters once the film has come out and is gone or about to leave. On a recent visit when I learned this (I had been there several times already and left empty handed. Waaagh! Who knew?), they gave me this poster and the next two. I am not looking a gift horse in the mouth. I'll TAKE it, thank you very much. I did inquire about the SPECTRE poster--they're not giving those out yet. After leaving, I decided to go back and beg for it. I even left my name and phone number. I want one soooo bad and am NOT going to pay $50+ bucks for one (since there are a zillion of them out there right now). Fingers crossed.

THE LAST WITCH HUNTER:
Free poster #2. Zero interest in this movie. Anyone see it? If it's good, let me know...otherwise it won't even make the "watch on video" list...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Last%20Witch%20Hunter_zpsejmtu4jv.jpg)
PAN:
Free poster #3. I know this was a huge box office bomb. However a friend did recommend this to me. Hmm. The 3D showings are already over with and it's just barely hanging on... So I am holding out hope that it will end up at the $3 theater (second run place) and I can catch it then...if I even bother. I'm not really into this though. I hated, hated, HATED "HOOK". I hated "HOOK" so much I was actually OUTRAGED that they'd spent so many millions making it. But that was "HOOK" and this is "PAN". Maybe I'll cut it some slack and check it out (since almost no one else did).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/PAN_zpsjhxfngyx.jpg)
AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON:
Yesterday I posted one of the posters Ari sent me--"A TRANSYLVANIAN WEREWOLF IN AMERICA". Great title and clearly riffing on this classic 80s horror flick. I had this poster once upon a time and sold it off when I needed cash (and got next to nothing for it). I regretted it. Not because it's a great poster (it's NOT. Isn't there a thread out there about great movies with lame paper? This is a worthy candidate...), but because I really do like the film so much. A few years back (last year?) I went to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios in Hollywood, and they had an "An American Werewolf" maze that recreated whole scenes from the film. That was surreal--walking through the movie. Ha! Glad to have the poster again...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/american_werewolf_in_london_SG00592_C_zpsl2fkjflw.jpg)
ZOMBI HOLOCAUST (aka DR BUTCHER M.D.) (Italian):
I love me my zombie movies and the Italians make some wild ones. I already have the US poster for this when it was released as DR. BUTCHER M.D. (Medical Deviate), but saw this Italian version (country of origin) and thought why not? Completely different artwork. Groovy.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/italian_1p_doctor_butcher_md_SD03453_C_zpsmlkvcjbp.jpg)
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD(French re-release special edition):
If I understand correctly, this is a French re-release from 2000 that includes special new scenes added in to the original film. Is that right? If so, this is John Russo's re-edit with NEW scenes (not outtakes originally shot) spliced in. It's just more zombie stuff really. I have the "special edition" on DVD. Apparently Russo was inspired by the success of the "STAR WARS" films special editions--but those films utilized vintage outtakes and deleted scenes. (Which reminds me of a little story. There used to be a four-theater multiplex in town. On it's marquee at one time it was showing the special editions of "Star Wars", "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi". The fourth film on the marquee was something called "Fools Rush In". I thought that was hilarious and so appropriate. Ha!). Anyway, since NOTLD stuff is usually fairly pricey (and I got this pretty darn cheap), I thought it was a decent investment.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Night%20of%20the%20Living%20Dead%20French%202000%20re-release_zpszd1h0k9t.jpg)
CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS:
I was gone for the bulk of the weekend. If you read my entry yesterday, you'll remember that, due to my absence, I had bid on a lot of the auctions closing yesterday on Heritage and Emovie...knowing I'd surely be outbid. Uh... That didn't exactly happen. Yikes! Not only did I have to scrounge to find enough credit card space to pay my invoices (oh my...), I also ended up with TWO copies (one from each auction house) of "CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS". OOPS. (So don't be surprised when you scroll down to the next poster and find that it is strangely familiar. Ha!) I already had a copy I got awhile back, but that copy has a number of things wrong with it that I can't deal with. So...I needed another copy. I got more than i bargained for. Ha! It's still a cool poster though. (Wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't.)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Children%20Shouldnt%20Play%20With%20Dead%20Things%20no.%203_zpsm1i75tzn.jpg)
CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS:
Look! It's "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things". Surprise! Ha! As I said when writing about the "Zombi Holocaust" poster, I like my zombie movies. While not the best zombie flick ever (In interviews, the makers of this film said they were trying to make a low budget version of "NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD". Ha! Hello? That was already a low budget movie!), it is on the obscure side (the only post-NOTLD / pre-Dawn of the Dead zombie flicks from the US that I can even think of that could be even more obscure are "Garden of the Living Dead" and/or "The Corpse Eaters"--both of which I have the posters to). It's kind of wild to think that the man behind this flick would go on to make "Porky's" and "A Christmas Story". Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/children_shouldnt_play_with_dead_things_BM04479_C_zpssmyh60oq.jpg)
THE FACE OF FU MANCHU:
Do I have this already? I'm not sure... I don't think so, but... This poster is for the first of the five Fu Manchu films that starred Christopher Lee in the title role. About two years ago i finally sat down and watched the series. They are a bit dated and lack the punch of modern films, but I could see what the appeal was and why they were popular at the time (although they have fallen into a bit of obscurity today). While I doubt I'll ever bother watching them again, I still thought it would be nice to track down the posters. If it happens, it happens. But I'm not gonna knock myself out over it. Poster #1 is here. One down, four more to go (actually a few more as some of the flicks have more than one style of poster. How very fiendishly Fu Manchu of the filmmakers to do that to me! Argh!).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/face_of_fu_manchu_BM05002_L_zpsaaovurib.jpg)
THE NIGHT THE WORLD EXPLODED:
Last poster for tonight--and (gasp!) this was my very accidental loss of my linen cherry! Oh my! I do not like posters on linen. Period. i've passed up some beautiful posters from time to time simply because they were on linen. The night this poster was being auctioned off, I had completely forgotten about the auction. I had gone to the movies (see the story about the free posters at The Maya Theater above. And in case you are curious, I was seeing "Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse". Really.). It was only as I was driving home that I remembered the auction. Oh crap! While driving (soooo dangerous and illegal of me), i brought up the auctions on my phone. This one was one of the posters that was just about finished and it wasn't too terribly expensive (certainly not in the hundreds or thousands of dollars range many of the other posters were) and it was in marvelous condition. I bid. When i got home, I was happily surprised to see that I had won it...and then also totally bummed to see it was on linen. Waaagh! Still, it is a cool image. Never saw the movie, but I dig those vintage drive-in era horror and sci fi posters. I have so few of them. This will do until a non-linen version comes along.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/night_the_world_exploded_linen_BM04919_C_zpskc0p6962.jpg)
And that's all for today kids. Monster A Go-Go hopes you all are washing behind your ears, looking both ways before crossing the street, and listening to your moms and dads. Hiddy-ho! I'll see you next time (unless that creepy thing that lives under your bed gets you first).
CHEERS!

Is Photobucket down or did I just really mess up my post? I can't see most of the pictures--and I can not figure out how to fix it. Waaagh!

Burp and gently powder.. ;D
All will be fine, MAGG.

Argh! I just wrote this big long post...and then it disappeared before I could save it. BLAH!
I'll get around to re-doing it eventually. but man--a whole hour and a half shot to hell. UGH!
Cheers

Your thread is such a freak show.
I just love this crap to death.
clap clap clap clap

I am surprised MAGG you got this far before losing one of your posts while crafting it! I can imagine the frustration. It could be the forum software or the browser. Probably the forum software. I guess the logical step like I do after such a scenario is to create it ielsewhere and copy paste it into here.
I remember vividly my end of uni thesis I lost it after nearly completing it due to a computer crash. That was back when max disk capacity was a 1.44MB floppy. I spent I think 5 days non stop in the uni computer room redoing it for the deadline. That includes taking short naps in a locked warm server room in the wee early hours - I figured out how to access... sliding in a credit card around the door lock, from memory! Since then losing big screeds on the computer I am prepared for and half expect it so I don't get too annoyed anymore as it will never be as bad as it was back then.
Don't give up!.... Looking forward for more shlock-o-rama

Did u delete it by mistake, click away from it accidentally, or did your internet hiccup??
I've not heard of posts just vanishing/disappearing on their own, especially in mid-composition. :-\
But never say never. ;)

re CHILDREN SHOULDNT PLAY......, also note its released by GENENI which is/was Ted V Mikels company.
-
ARGH!!!! This is soooo FRUSTRATING!!!! (SWEAR WORDS A GO-GO are now spewing from my mouth, SHOCKING!) My desktop computer (which has been dying for months) finally bit the dust before I could post my post. I'm on my laptop, but for some reason i can NOT copy/past from my email on to here, WTF!?! I managed to copy the draft on my phone and paste it in to a thing on here...but it won't let me post it. GRRR! This is INSANE! Can i just email the post to someone and have them post it for me? GRRRRR!

Send it to me, MAGG.. Happy to help and post it for you. thumbsup.gif

I just did. Thank you.

BAN HIM
;D

Hi Ted. Thanks for popping by. There will be another batch of schlock if/when Jeff can post my latest post for me. (I am having the worst, WORST tech luck tonight. jeepers!)
Steve--Obviously you can identify, based on the story you told. I have a post with an item or two with YOU in mind coming up tomorrow or the next day. Check back in when you get the chance.
Jeff--if you can post for me--THANK YOU!!!!
CHEERS!

BAN HIM
;D
Ban Me? What did i do? Ari, glad you dropped in. I have something for you but don't know if I should send it to your new mountain place or wait until you get back to your costal place--or what. It's nothing too exciting and it's not even here yet (coming from Switzerland of all places). It's just something I saw that reminded me of something you said in a post.
Cheers!
-
Hmm... okay. My latest post seems to be cursed. Even Jeff appears to not be able to put it up. Swell...
-
I got that dam&^%d 400 error issue again, and after 3x, I was locked out of the forum (server timed out).
Not sure if its a cut and past "file size" issue or what.. but.. now I'm back and it aint working, Shawn.
Sorry. :-[ Grrrrr.
Another to the rescue (??).....!!! piratemel
Hope so.

Hi there. Take 3. I HOPE this attempt at a post doesn't end in disaster like my last two attempts (and the one Jeff tried) did. ARGH!
Anyway, how are you? I hope everyone is well. It's time to post some more crap...er, posters I recently acquired. Except for Jeff, whom I've already addressed, I don't think anyone's been by to say hello..so I don't need to address anything--so let's get on to the posters! Whoo hoo!
JOHN CARPENTER'S VAMPIRES
This is another poster purchased from our own Jeff/erik1925. He sent me a note, wanting to know if I'd like to add this baby to the Shock-A-Rama Poster Show. Sure I would. Why not? I don't think i have it yet. And voila! Through the magic of Paypal and the US Mail, it was done! Thank you, Jeff! I haven't seen this flick, but I am getting a little tired of John Carpenter thinking his name needs to be included in the title of all of his films. I mean, hello? He's made some pretty stink-o-rama turds. I mean really... Just because he made "Halloween" 35+ years ago... GET OVER IT already.

FIRST BLOOD
I am not a fan of the Rambo films...or of Sylvester Stallone for that matter. I have just noticed the one sheet for this film is kind of pricey. (I guess that, just because there are no Rambo films on my DVD shelf doesn't mean it isn't a popular series. While I've seen the three Rambo films (is there a 4th?), I really don't remember much about them (especially the third one--which I saw at a drive in back in the day).
What I have noticed is that the title of the series changed mid-stream. (From "First Blood, to "Rambo: First Blood Part 2", to just "Rambo 3") But, like I said, I have noticed the one sheet can be pricey...even the one sheet for Part 2 can fetch some bucks. Jeepers! I saw the one sheets for 1 & 2 (both in really great shape) together at a decent price (lower than I usually see the one sheets for 1 and/or 2 sometimes) just languishing. No one else was interested, so i scooped them up. I'll sell them down the road a bit--hopefully make a profit.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/First%20Blood_zpsmagzz6lo.jpg)
RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART 2
About seven or eight years ago, when I was still a writer in the Custom Publications department of the newspaper, I decided to give everyone in my department a framed movie poster for Christmas. That may sound startling, but this was back when posters were still relatively cheap. The frames were the most expensive part of the gift back then.
I still remember what posters I gave everyone, and all were perfect for the individual. I had two bosses. To Carey who liked Rick Springfield, I gave "Hard To Hold" (boring poster). To Monica, I gave her "Grease 2". Both of those posters I got for about $1 each. Seriously! And they were in great condition. Josh was a big fan of the movie "The Prestige"--so he got that (also boring) poster (which I had gotten for FREE, by the way). Kristen got one of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" posters. Sara got the most recent (1998?) re-release one sheets for "Gone With The Wind".
Becki was a special case. She and I had started together on the same day. It was great that way because we could cling to each other through training and while we learned the ropes. She was a huge fan of Sylvester Stallone. I couldn't afford "First Blood" or "Rocky"--so i ended up getting her "Rambo: First Blood Part 2". (I also got her a 2nd poster--the double feature combo poster for "Rocky" and "Rocky 2"--which I gave to her later). I'm sure all of the posters/frames i gave out have long since ended up in the garbage or a garage sale. I TRIED to convert my co-workers into poster fans, but...it didn't work.
Becki has since moved to Washington DC, gotten married and is now a mom. I'm sure her posters got lost in the shuffle for sure. Her posters I spent the most on...and the frames were pricey too (about $25 each). Where are they now. I wish I had them all back.

Part 2 (hopefully)
ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (Thai):
The next three posters other members of the APF forum have copies of and have posted them (acquisitions threads?). These posters really struck my fancy and I decided I really, REALLY needed to get copies of them for myself. This ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK poster is NOT my poster. I'm just using it as an example--but it's just the same. Zowie! i am just ga-ga over the Thai posters. They are just stunning. They really punch it up with color and artwork. Bravo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Escape%20From%20New%20York%20Thai_zpsijndjlqg.jpg)
TINRORERA (German):
Yowza! This German TINTORERA poster is awesome. It's scary and better than the movie itself! I had to have it. Love my JAWS ripoffs!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Tintorera%20German_zps745hvr9g.jpg)
X FROM OUTER SPACE (German):
OOOoooo this poster really speaks to me. Ha! I've never seen the film, but have seen stills from it and I recognize the creature on the poster from the stills. Great poster. I just wonder how the zany Germans worked Frankenstein into it (as it is in the German title). Anyone read German? Soooo groovy cool.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/X%20From%20Outer%20Space%20German_zpsggfzhljn.jpg)
BURIAL GROUND:
I am sure I already have this poster, but who knows if I'll ever unearth it again. But here is the US poster for yet another gonzo zombie poster that tried to capitalize on the success of "DAWN OF THE DEAD". I love this cheezy stupid crap. The most disturbing thing about this gut muncher is this weird kid who has a very strange mother fixation. Oh my stars! (Spoiler!!) Later in the film he becomes a zombie and bites his mother's breasts off! No kidding!
Here's the trailer: https://youtu.be/CJclhRASfZQ (https://youtu.be/CJclhRASfZQ)
Here's a weird disturbing scene between the son and the mom (NOT that scene though): https://youtu.be/tFo453PqvVo (https://youtu.be/tFo453PqvVo)

I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE (1956 re-release style A):
Speaking of zombies, here is a classic. Not in the Romero zombie sense, but in the Val Lewton produced sense. No gut munching here,just great atmosphere. I really, really want an original one sheet from the first release. it's just gorgeous. The re-release style B poster uses the same artwork, but the colors used are more muted than the original. I'll probably never have either--so this will have to suffice. And I am thrilled to have it. Yippie.

Part 3 (last part)
GHOST IN THE INVISIBLE BIKINI:
I already had a copy of this, but needed a better copy. Most people point to "HOW TO STUFF A WILD BIKINI" as the end of the "Beach Party" movie series, because it is the last one to feature Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. But "GHOST IN THE INVISIBLE BIKINI" is the true conclusion to the series. Frankie and Annette may be gone, but the rest of the Beach party gang is here--along with Nancy Sinatra, Basil Rathbone and Boris Karloff! Geronimo!
Here's a look (the trailer): https://youtu.be/mghTPnEDKsU (https://youtu.be/mghTPnEDKsU)
And the whole way out groovy ghoulie thing: https://youtu.be/wItc9w27WQI (https://youtu.be/wItc9w27WQI)

THE BOOGIE MAN WILL GET YOU:
Speaking of Karloff, my last poster of the day is for a movie I had never heard of before, 1942's "THE BOOGIE MAN WILL GET YOU." I got this on the last day of the emovie Halloween auction. It's a little more beat up then i'd normally go for--only in "good to very good" condition. But it had a couple of things going for it. It features both Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre. I only have a few later Karloff posters and nothing with Lorre. I also noticed this blurb on the auction page: Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare one-sheet which we have never auctioned before! Zowie! That made me wonder. If it really is all that rare, I might as well try for it. I bid a high (for me--but quasi-modest for a "rare" poster) amount and was shocked that I got it. Huh? Really? I'm thrilled, of course. If there was ever a poster in my collection I would even consider linen backing, it's this one (and I HATE linenbacking). It looks like it might be okay as is in a frame, but I hate the tape discoloration at the top and bottom folds in the margins. Grrr. Still, while it may not be a Universal monster poster--it is a Karloff and a Lorre and more than 70 years old. I'll take it.

Okay kiddies, that's about all of the time we have for the Shock-A-Rama Poster Show tonight. No one soiled themselves, I trust? Now hurry on in and brush your teeth and get ready for bed. Your moms and dads will be in to tuck you in soon. By the way, I hope you've been feeding the monster in your closest. What do you feed a monster, you ask? I find that bratty brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, works best. Nighty night and have groovy dreams!
Cheers!

Hooray, it freakin' worked. FINALLY! What a pain tonight has been.
CHEERS!

Looks like it all worked!! 3's a charm!!
woohoo

OK THIS TIME FOR REAL
BAN HIM
but really, jealous of your Lewton, I am a casual collector of Lewton, casual because theytend to be too expensive for me. I have a reissue insert for I WALKED... and have at least one thing from NEARLY all of his films.
Great stuff as always, love your taste.
ok, no banning needed, but maybe a time out?
:P
-
Hey, glad it finally worked! happy1
The most disturbing thing about this gut muncher is this weird kid who has a very strange mother fixation. Oh my stars!
Haha I know, right? It was totally weird! The rest of the movie was borderline boring and then that kid would come in with his creepy antics, and I would break into hysterics. I like how sudden it comes about too, I mean he's weird from the beginning but then out of nowhere it escalates to a whole nother(or should I say mother) level :P
All in all nice haul as usual!
-
Great posters mate, not so sure about the Thai Escape from New York :)
-
I really like Guila or X from outer space. That poster is fantastic! ;)
-
What a great lineup of titles.
I really like I Walked with a Zombie and The Boogie Man Will Get You.
Been meaning to replace my long-lost First Blood one sheet... that Drew Struzan artwork is simply iconic.
Ghost in the Invisible Bikini brings back fond memories.
Tintorera and Escape From NY kick serious ass.
Heck, they're all dynOmite!
nice.thread

FIRST BLOOD
I am not a fan of the Rambo films...or of Sylvester Stallone for that matter. I have just noticed the one sheet for this film is kind of pricey. (I guess that, just because there are no Rambo films on my DVD shelf doesn't mean it isn't a popular series. While I've seen the three Rambo films (is there a 4th?), I really don't remember much about them (especially the third one--which I saw at a drive in back in the day).
What I have noticed is that the title of the series changed mid-stream. (From "First Blood, to "Rambo: First Blood Part 2", to just "Rambo 3") But, like I said, I have noticed the one sheet can be pricey...even the one sheet for Part 2 can fetch some bucks. Jeepers! I saw the one sheets for 1 & 2 (both in really great shape) together at a decent price (lower than I usually see the one sheets for 1 and/or 2 sometimes) just languishing. No one else was interested, so i scooped them up. I'll sell them down the road a bit--hopefully make a profit.

Knowing you are on a Thai kick recently, I think we've talked about the Thai versions of all the RAMBO series and how there are multiple versions for each installment. This one is based on the design you have shown and is printed as the largest 1 sheet size before they would go to 2 sheets. This one is also pricey but looks great.

Hi there. Gather around boils and ghouls, it's time once again for the Shock-A-Rama Poster Show. Does everyone have their Freak-O-Vision glasses on? Groovy! Before we get started, i need to do some shout outs.
Hey Jeff, I just wanted to THANK YOU again for your attempt at helping me with my post yesterday. I am having a crappy day today (literally--details to follow if you really want to know) and hope things go smoothly this time. Fingers crossed!
Ari, don't be jealous. It was only produced (not directed) by Lewton...and, unless i ever score the original release poster, there's really nothing to get jealous of (Now that original release poster--zowie! That's awesome!)
Mister e! I'm so glad you know the movie "BURIAL GROUND", not that it's a great movie (it's not), but because someone else gets the frame of reference. Glad you like the posters. Anxious to see more of your stuff myself. Cheers!
Stew! Thanks for saying hello. I know what you mean about that Thai ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK. Kind of throws everything off. Oh well, someone has to have it. Hee hee! Thanks for visiting.
Rosa and Steve--So glad you both dig the "X FROM OUTER SPACE" poster. You understand how i felt when i saw the other one someone posted on the new acquisitions thread a while back. I loved it. It really worked for me and I had to get one myself. Thumbs way up on that one.
Hey Ted, were you channeling Jimmy Walker (who is not even dead yet) when you gave your overall review of my new posters ("DynOmite")? Ha! Glad you liked them. Thanks for looking.
Mike, o those amazing Thais. Even something like the first RAMBO movie is better as a Thai poster than the US version. And you say there are several styles? For each movie? Wow! You need to post your collection in ONE [place so we can see it all. Amazing. Thanks!
Okay--I think i covered everyone. Now let's get this poster party started. (Fingers crossed everything works this time.)::
COLOSSUS: THE FORBIDDEN PROJECT (German): I've never seen this movie. I bought the poster strictly based on the poster. It was colorful and I thought it really popped.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Colussus%20The%20Forbidden%20Project%20German_zpsla5wmly6.jpg)
THE GHOST (Belgian): Although I have a one sheet for this (scroll way, way back), I thought this was a fun and colorful addition. Now, by the light of day, it's not that exciting. Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/belgian_ghost_WC00282_C_zpsmrmqo3tl.jpg)
CANNIBAL MAN: I just watched this over Halloween weekend. It's not really a cannibal movie, but an interesting study into one man's decent into his own personal hell. I decided I liked the movie well enough to get the poster. I couldn't find one. There are Spanish ones out there with the original title (Week of the Murderer--or something like that). I spied a poster in English with yet another alternate title (Something like The Apartment on the 13th Floor)--but it's really dull and really expensive. Emovie just had one--a Belgian with gruesome artwork of a guy with a meat cleaver in his face and the title "Cannibal man" below it--but it went crazy high and I dropped out. Then this little gem fell into my lap. It has the artwork from the original Spanish release and the title I desired. Sold!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Cannibal%20Man_zpsylot3o6n.jpg)
JAWS 3D (Japanese chirashi): I got one of these Japanese mini-posters for JAWS 3D not long ago. But when i came across this one, I realized it was completely different than the one I had already purchased. So i got this one as well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Jaws%203D%20chirashi%20B_zpsobmuw6od.jpg)
DEEP ADVENTURE: I had never heard of this film when I stumbled on the poster. Although it's kind of dark (is that the poster or the photo?), I was digging on the shark and all of the underwater activity. Why not?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Deep%20Adventure_zpsix44ehrg.jpg)
LADY IN CEMENT: Eh.. I've seen this around a few times, but finally decided to pick one up. I've heard the movie is not that good, but you've got Frank Sinatra and Raquel Welch (and Hoss from "Bonanza"? Ha!). Go for it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Lady%20In%20Cement_zpsyiridtys.jpg)
INVASION OF THE ASTRO MONSTER (Thai): I've also seen this around as well, but only picked it up when i found one cheap enough. Is INVASION OF THE ASTRO MONSTER the same thing as GODZILLA VS MONSTER ZERO? Always happy to get a new Thai poster. This one is fun.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Invasion%20of%20the%20Astro%20Monsters%20Thai_zps9tnkctjx.jpg)
OMEN 4: THE AWAKENING: I know. I know. This 4th film in the OMEN series is just crap. Fortunately for us in the US, it was a TV movie--so we didn't have to shell out a dime to see it. The rest of the world was not that lucky and they had to see it in theaters. I decided to pick this standard one sheet size poster up so i could have one sheets for each of the films,,,even though the poster leaves a lot to be desired as well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Omen%204%20the%20Awakening_zpslintf9ey.jpg)
ZOMBIE LAKE (Belgian): This is actually the very first time I've encountered any poster art work for the admittedly awful "ZOMBIE LAKE". But i dig my zombie flicks, so why not? EEEK!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/belgian_zombie_lake_WC00282_C_zps4iz39uh0.jpg)
FANTASM: Steve, I told you I had something you'd like in this installment. This poster is one of those cases where you are bidding on something else you really want--and to pad out the shipping costs, you bid on a few other things as well. Of course i LOST out on the thing I really wanted--but still ended up with this. I've been intrigued by this title for a long while. At first I thought it was a softcore version of the horror movie "PHANTASM". But "PHANTASM" was 1979, and this hails from 1976. Hmm. I think this is an Australian movie (?) with American porn stars (?) but completely softcore. The poster is, i think, Australian too--size is a little smaller than a one sheet--but bigger than a daybill. This poster would never see the light of day in a regular theater in 1976 over here. Yowza.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Fantasm_zpstyprzqfv.jpg)
And that is all for today. My bad luck from last night continues on into today. (I need to go and buy a plunger. Need i say more?)
Have a better day than me.
CHEERS!
-
re LEWTON, yeah I know, I love the film, and all the Lewton produced movies (he only Directed one short and Ive not seen it)
First release on the sought after titles are hard to afford for some of us.
Funny I nearly bought a Belgian for THE GHOST just this week . ha
Zombie Lake, I LOVE the film myself, best Nazi Zombies after SHOCK WAVES.
I like Jean Rollin, his films have a certain quality.
FANTASM is indeed an aussie film and aussie poster, a lot of the exploitation films got odd releases here and the advertising had budget constraints, so often the posters were odd also, size, print quality etc were affected. Its a very interesting film, see it if you can, hard to describe it really, but unlike anything else.
-
There's a sequel too, right? FANTASM COMES AGAIN or FANTASM COMES ALIVE..or something like that.
Jean Rollin is hit or miss with me. But, as a zombie mopvie lover, of course I have ZOMBIE LAKE. Good, bad, or god awful...I'm there for a zombie flick.
CHEERS!
-
Zombie Lake. Ok. Explain poster. So blonde goes for a swim or bath in a lake full of Nazi zombies.. and THEY are scared of the girl (see skull). Uhm...is this a feminist film? Sort of girl saying "look creep i can take creepie for breakfast so flop off?" (Adorable) Ok. Im googling that film...now!
Great poster!

Yeah COMES AGAIN.
good stuff.
I DO agree re ROLLIN, but they all have "something"
I kinda prefer the slow romantic soft focus vampire ones I guess. At least they are visually interesting.
-
Had my hands on them many times, but still have not seen a Jean Rollin film. How about some suggestions on a good one to start with... dontknow.gif

Thanks MAGG, love the Fantasm. thumbsup.gif So many titbits to take in and enjoy. Not sure what I'd do with such a poster as I wouldn't be brave to display it.
-

Hard to say, be ready for very SLOW movies, he did make some beautiful cinema on VERY tight budgets.
I remember reading the budget for one of the posters was more than the film, (slight) exaggeration I am sure.
try:
The Nude Vampire
The Demoniacs
or
The Grapes of Death
And see how you go.... Slow but can be beautiful in their own haunting way.

Good evening. It's time for the Friday the 13th edition of Shock-A-Rama Poster Show!!! EEK! Like all good girls and boys in horror movies, DON'T bother to lock your doors or windows, LOSE your virginity as you read this and SMOKE dope and/or drink booze. Above all else do NOT heed the warnings of the town locals. There's no boogey man or masked serial killer out to get you tonight...or is there?
Before we get to the posters, let's say hello to everyone who stopped by since the last time we were here. Let's see...
Rosa! How nice to see you. Your description of the ZOMBIE LAKE poster was funny and accurate...but not, unfortunately, what the movie is about. But hey--work with the idea. There may be a screenplay in there someplace.
Hi Ari! You prefer the slow, soft-focused vampire flicks? Almost all of Rollins films are the slow soft-focused vampire flicks. Ha! In addition to the three you suggested for Mike (Hey there! Nice to see you! Got something with YOU in mind below) to see, might I also suggest FASCINATION and (his first) RAPE OF THE VAMPIRE. And don't forget (or maybe DO forget) ZOMBIE LAKE! Ha! I haven't seen all of his films though. I would bow down to Ari and his knowledge. I'm sure he is better acquainted with Rollins work than i am.
Ted, thanks for stopping by.
Steve, i knew you'd like the poster...tidbits and all! :-) And if you have not seen the "RIP Carol Doda" thing in the news section, check it out. You have probably never heard of her, but if you had--you'd have been a big fan i am sure. Cheers!
And now on to the posters...
FRIDAY THE 13th PART 2 (Japanese B2)
What could be more appropriate for a Friday the 13th edition than starting off with posters for two "FRIDAY THE 13TH" films. I know a lot of people like this sequel. It's okay, but this first directorial effort by Steve Minor was AWFUL I thought. He improved the next time at bat and has been doing well since. But in this film? Ugh. I thought he was weak. That's not to say there weren't some good performances. Amy Steel was marvelous as the lead heroine, possibly the best of the whole series. Anyway, here's the poster for the Japanese release...different than the US release (which was boring).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/japanese_b2_friday_the_13th_part_ii_SD03706_T_zpshnmd7qyj.jpg)
FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 3D (Japanese B2)
Jason is B-A-C-K...and this time he's in 3-D! Yowza! Part 3 was also wear Jason first wore his iconic hockey mask (before he'd just been wearing a cloth sack, a la the Elephant Man). The poster utilizes the ad art for the US poster, but adds to it with the big bloody title jutting out at you. It's crazy and tacky looking--but it works. Cool!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/japanese_b2_friday_the_13th_part_3_3d_SD03706_T_zpsmuwfxgxn.jpg)
RAMBO 3 (Thai)
Ugh! I really didn't want/need another RAMBO poster. But I was so taken with Mike's example of the Thai FIRST BLOOD poster and his saying that there were various posters for the films, I found myself looking them up. I stumbled on RAMBO 3 and, before I knew it, I had ended up buying it. Ooops! The example below is from emovie---but that's not where I got it from.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/rambo%203%20thai_zpsbkh8gnjo.jpg)
TOTAL RECALL (Thai)
Like Stallone, i'm not really a big fan of Ah-nold either. But I liked this poster for TOTAL RECALL (way better than the US version)...so i snatched it up.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Total%20Recall%20thai_zps9qko4buy.jpg)
PIRANHA (Thai)
My final Thai for tonight is for the original PIRANHA. I got a poster similar to this from Turkey not long back. The Thai version adds to the design somewhat (there are now distant beach scenes on the left and right side with actually other people being attacked in the distance. There are also a few other scenes from the film illustrated around the bottom as well--but somehow it lacks that punch the Thai posters usually have over US posters. Still--I dig it. Like my JAWS ripoffs..and PIRANHA is one of the better ones.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/piranha%20Thai_zpsubif6uhh.jpg)
BEASTLY (lenticular):
I never saw this flick and probably never will bother to. it's an update of the whole BEAUTY & THE BEAST thing, I believe. Although instead of a beast, the cursed guy is covered with tattoos! Ha! The lenticular isn't all that 3D. Instead it shows two images--the guy with the tattoos and without. i opted to show just the tattoo shot. I dig lenticulars--but they don't dig my wallet. Once in a while tyou stumble on a cheap one...such was the case with this one. Sold!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Beastly%20lenticular_zpsmbsu10v6.jpg)
TOMORROW NEVER DIES
I have ALL of the one sheets for the James Bond individual films now (except for SPECTRE and there is one double feature poster I also lack). I saw this for sale and for a moment i could not remember the poster--had i seen it before? Did i have it? I panicked and bid...then remembered i did, in fact, have it. But my bid wasn't beaten and...I now have another. OOPS.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/tomorrow_never_dies_dupe1_SD02676_C_zpsydjylkju.jpg)
MANDINGO (Yugoslavian):
I do not know why, but MANDINGO is a guilty pleasure of mine. Maybe because it is just so bad and so wrong and so over the top... I haven't seen it in years (but I see it and it's awful sequel in the pile of movies to be watched in the coming weeks... I've had the DVDs since they were released, just haven't had the time), but I remember my jaw dropping at some scenes. Ha! This movie could never be made today. Anyway, saw this Yugo poster recently and decided to get it. it's very different from the interracial GONE WITH THE WIND-esque US poster that tried to shock moviegoers into seeing it. James Mason with his feet on a slave boy? So wrong! Jeepers--what were they thinking in the 70s when they made this (and yes, I realize it might be correct in historical context, but still...).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/yugoslavian_mandingo_BM04903_C_zpsx6dvmnau.jpg)
AENIGMA (Italian):
I've not seen Lucio Fulci's AENIGMA yet. one of the few films of his released here I have not gotten to yet. His horror is hit and miss...but maybe this is one of his giallos? I've not seen it, as i've said, so i'm not sure. I was just thrilled to find some vintage Fulci paper (country of origin) cheap.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Aenigma_zpsmupq02sv.jpg)
PAGANINI HORROR (Italian):
I'm not sure what this is exactly either--but the poster is cool. It's got a spooky looking house, a skeleton playing a violin and horror atmosphere in every corner of the one sheet. Yowza! Has anyone seen this? Any good? is it worth tracking down?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Paganini%20Horror_zpshpigna2y.jpg)
And now it's time for lights out. The Friday the 13th edition of the Shock-A-Rama Poster Show is over. Get to bed and pay extra special attention to all of the creaks and groans of your house. it could be just your house settling or the wind...or it could be someone (or something) else!
EEEK!
Happy Friday the 13th!
CHEERS!

Paganini Horror is good, and the artwork is by the master Enzo Sciotti good score, I have Locandina, same art. good work.

This thread is really enjoyable. Thanks for talking the time you do with your posts cool1

GoGo I really like your thread my friend! That being said, I would not have bid up the Japanese Friday 13th had I know.........it was you. Congrats on those 2!!!!

Nice additions, as always, MAGG!!
Cool beans, for sure!!

Hi there. Thanks for stopping by. I think I'm going on another little break from APF for a while. I might be back towards the end of next week for a quickie--but probably won't be back until the Monday or Tuesday after Thanksgiving. I hope everyone (even if they don't live in the US and don't celebrate the holiday) has a super groovy and thankful Thanksgiving.

Ari, Oooooo now you've got me curious about the flick. i'll have to track it down. Thanks!
This thread is really enjoyable. Thanks for talking the time you do with your posts cool1
Hi Mike. That is ever so kind of you to say so. But you also put a lot of time into your discussions of Thai art. That is also very enjoyable. Thank you for doing that!
GoGo I really like your thread my friend! That being said, I would not have bid up the Japanese Friday 13th had I know.........it was you. Congrats on those 2!!!!
ARGH!!! That is the ONE THING i do NOT like about being a member of APF. We all know when the auctions are and we all go for them. A few weeks back, someone else mentioned I bought something they were after. Ouch. i feel bad. And Gingerman, had i know YOU were bidding on those F13s, i would have totally let you outbid me and I'd have walked away. Really! Glad there are no hard feelings.
Nice additions, as always, MAGG!!
Cool beans, for sure!!
thumbsup.gif
Thanks, as always Jeff. And yes, my beans are cool. That's why I'm taking some time off. i need to "heat them up" again. Ha! I dig the stuff on the acquisitions thread you got--just didn't mention it all in my quick post there last night. You always manage to snag fab posters yourself (And a few extra for me to buy from you. Ha!) Cool beans, indeed,.
Cheers everyone!
Keep on cha-cha-cha-ing!
-
Have a lovely break. Take care.
-
GoGo First off, no worries on the F13th posters! You won them congrats! As of late I have been only dabbling with bids. I am only about half way through listing my stuff. So I am not trying terribly hard to win stuff. I was simply saying had I known it was you I would not have bid in the first place. I changed my name on EMP to match here, that away anybody here will see me there also. Some people have mixed ideas on this......others are very secret. Either way congrats, I will sublets onto them again in the future!
Enjoy your break, and take care.
-
funny, I dont usually follow EMP auctions, but this last week I had a look and watched a few items and saw both of you, haha
-
I really am trying to be gone for a while...but a certain someone lured me back on for a few minutes. I thought I'd respond to Rosa, Ari and Gingerman before my little break (for at least 1 week---but possibly 2 1/2 weeks).
Rosa--thanks for the well wishes. I'm not really going anywhere special, just getting away from posters for a bit. Yikes! I have purchased more posters in this last year (actually--more in these last two or three months!) than i ever have. Yikes! I'm spending way too much. i gotta focus on getting out of this dump I'm in and back in a house. So if I stay away from the site for a bit, i hopefully won't be as tempted. Besides i spend way too much time online shopping. I need to get back out into the real world again a bit more. See ya!
Gingerman. I went back and looked at the auction and see you did bid on those posters at the end. I didn't even look to see who had bid...just clicked on the "outbid" notice and bid again. So sorry. Secondly, I can't believe I have not posted more on your thread about your site. i just checked it out again and it is coming along nicely. i'll post properly on your thread after my hiatus. Okay? Looking good and again, i wish I had been able to do that when i had first started collecting.
Ari--Ha! You recognized my user name during the auction? REALLY? That's how they told me to sign up when i signed up...not something I chose. I may need to go in and fix it like Gingerman did, so we don't have a mix up again. And who are YOU on there?
OkaY--I really do want/need to take a breather for a bit. I'll see you possible late next week---or in very early December.
CHEERS!

(when you get back)
I have *never bid at EMP, so you wont see me.
* I might have once a few years ago, I forget, I seem to recall something about a MAD BUTCHER OS.

No worries! Enjoy your hiatus. I will be here. Thank you, I am glad I am doing it now. Instead of waiting like you said, and having far too many to even organize. You can keep posting them here! No worries on the bidding, but if you do decide to change your name I will see you!

I didn't know your website was up and running Chris! It looks very nice!

I now pronounce you husband and wife.
Hehe
:P
-
Hold on Timeout Thank you all for the love, but what just happened here?!? ;D
-
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
Hehe
:P
we only had one date
-
Hello every one. I am B-A-C-K as promised. Just for now. I'm taking off again and won't be back until around December 1st or so.
Anyway... Jeepers! What went on around here? Ari and Steve??? Oh my STARS! Congratulations, i guess-- I just hope you didn't go ahead and consummate the wedding on my page as well... Or if you did, i HOPE you cleaned up after yourselves and didn't leave me the dirty sheets to clean up afterwards. Eeew! Where are you registered, by the way?
Jeff--No, you are right. i can't resist the pull of APF. I thought about waiting until the December 1st-ish return date I had established, but also said I might be back if I had time late this week., Well, I have the time...and some new posters (argh!) and so here I am. Who is my daddy? Uh oh...are you trying to tell me something?
Ted--I am super glad you like the poster. Thanks! Now i want to track down the film...
Gingerman, I bid at emovie again the other day...and despite what happened between you and I the other day (which i still feel awful about) and my long running fear that situation would come up eventually, i realized when the auction was over that I did NOT even bother to look and see who was bidding against me the entire time. I just HOPE it was no one on here. ARGH!
Ari, Steve, and Rosa...thanks for stopping by as always.
Okay, i am actually anxious to go back to my hiatus from APF, so i'll make this post of 10 posters as short and sweet as possible (unless I get to running off at the mouth fingers again).
INLAND EMPIRE (French):
Zowie! I had completely forgotten i had gotten this poster...until I opened it. I love DAVID LYNCH, and even though INLAND EMPIRE was not nearly as incredible as MULHOLLAND DR., I liked it. I also have been wanting the poster. i know the film only had a limited US release and the US posters are hard to come by...so i had to settle (so far) for a French one. Ooo la la!

SCOUTS GUIDE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE (British Quad Teaser):
Here is my OOPS for the week. A little while back in the New Acquisitions thread, someone poster a quad for the new film SCOUTS GUIDE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE. It was a cool poster--real "art" as opposed to some photoshopped crap-a-rama. I liked it and wanted it (especially since it was so much nicer than the stupid US version (with the Swiss Army knife). I looked and looked and found 3 available. The quad the other APF member had, the one sheet with the same art, and this advance quad with a different ad altogether. I bid on all three, not expecting to get any...and, uh, um...I ended up getting all three. OOPS.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Scout%20Guide%20to%20the%20Zombie%20Apocalypse%20advance%20style%20Quad_zpsrytvsw0r.jpg)
SCOUTS GUIDE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE (British Quad):
This is like the one the other APF member got/shared. Very nice--and as i said, much better than the US version.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Scouts%20Guide%20to%20the%20Zombie%20Apocalypse%20quad_zpsxpkyqout.jpg)
SCOUTS GUIDE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE (British One Sheet):
Here's the British one sheet version. I did see the movie, by the way. It was amusing.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Scouts%20Guide%20to%20the%20Zombie%20Apocalypse%20British%20one%20sheet_zpswlpt1ovh.jpg)
SCOOBY DOO (British Quad):
While looking for the SCOUTS GUIDE posters, i stumbled on this British quad for the live-action SCOOBY DOO movie. Very different again from the US version. As a SCOOBY DOO fan I had to get it. SOLD!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/scooby%20doo%20british%20quad_zpsvnbx9uok.jpg)
PIRANHA 2: THE SPAWNING
I already had the alternate PIRANHA 2 poster (with the alternate subtitle "FLYING KILLERS"), but have always kind of wanted this one as well. I had been seeing one lately here and there with just the title "The Spawning" (No "Piranha 2"). Nope--that would not do. So when I stumbled on this one...SOLD!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Piranha%202%20The%20Spawning_zpsnzmpv8gk.jpg)
FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2 (Turkish):
I got a couple of the FRIDAY THE 13TH sequel posters from Turkey not too long ago. I'd seen this one from time to time and thought I'd go for one if/when I ever saw one cheap enough. Yahoo! I did and snagged it. I do think it's weird that even though the cast listy and the image are clearly from PART 2, the English version of the title makes it look like it is Part 1. I wonder if Part 1 was released in Turkey...and what it was called. Something I'll have to look into someday...Might want to track down ALL of the sequels from Turkey eventually. Why not?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Friday%20the%2013th%20Part%202%20Turkish_zpslzomtbpm.jpg)
YOUNG HANNAH QUEEN OF THE VAMPIRES
This is NOT my poster---just an example from the internet. Mine is a tri-fold (which this one was also at one time...before someone decided to attempt a bad vertical fold on their own). This is a re-titling of something else (CRYPT OF...something. I forget). This poster was a freebie poster included with a poster I bought from a dealer. Cool beans. i've seen this poster around and kind of dug it...just not enough to pay for one. Now i don't have to. Yippie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Young%20Hannah%20Queen%20of%20the%20Vampires_zpsfzqptymg.jpg)
SPECTRE
Ah yes...FINALLY! A real live "SPECTRE" poster that did NOT cost me $75 or $100 or whatever crazy amount people are (stupidly) buying them for. I love my Bond. Now i am caught up on ALL of the Bond posters I want/need with the exception of one double feature combo poster from way back when. I saw the movie earlier this week. LOVED IT! It wasn't as good as SKYFALL, but it was still very good.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Spectre_zpsia7y8lpv.jpeg)
LA CASA DELGI ZOMBI (Italian):
Tenth and final poster-a-go-go for the evening is some Italian zombie movie I've never heard of (well, i probably HAVE heard of it, but I just have not gotten around to researching it fully to see what it was called when it arrived over here). WOW! i saw the graphics of the zombie eating the woman and the other zombies rushing in and had to get it. Despite the unfortunate missing piece from the bottom boarder, i grabbed this while it was available. I had never seen this poster/image before. Groovy!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/La%20Casa%20Degli%20Zombi%20Italian_zpszxnniuq1.jpg)
(Oh man... i just noticed there is tape all over it too. Waaagh!)
And that's all of the time we have for today, kiddies! Thanks for stopping by. Have a fabulous Thanksgiving. i'll see you in December.
CHEERS!
-
I like watching who I bid against. There are a few guys who always seem to bid on the same stuff I am after. So when I can I just watch....then an hour or so before close I put Iin my max bids....sometimes I have to bid again......other times I just shut it down at wait till around 9 and see what happened. This way I don't get attached to something I don't have, and am happy with my winnings.
I for one also like the Turkish stuff. I also thought that Friday the 13th was the Original not part 2. I believe, and I could be wrong, just like thai posters turkish stuff just adopted our art.....in the late 80's ish.....so you will be able to get some of the sequels. I fully intend to expand on that research in the future. After my site is 100%, mural is done, and I find a damn contract for new work!
Have you seen the scouts movie yet? I heard it was similar to Zombieland. Which is a great flick IMHO. Alright I rambled long enough! ;D
-
Gingerman: ZOMBIELAND was much better than SCOUTS. SCOUTS was sillier. especially at some specific points (I won't give away what happens but I'll just say Brittany Spears and Penis as two examples. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see the flick).
-
I rather enjoyed Zombieland. I will just wait for it on video then!
-
I'm back...a little earlier than I wanted to be, but that was because of the visit to the Kirk Hammett CLASSIC MONSTERS exhibit ( http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/board,67.0.html (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/board,67.0.html) then see both "Looking for interviews for a movie poster book" and the "Metallica's Kirk Hammett on movie posters..."). So, I think i'll just do a quick poster post and then continue on with my hiatus.
Here are 10 new ones (all nothing exciting...except for the last one, maybe...):
MONSTER A GO-GO:
Hey! "Monster A Go-Go"? Where have I heard THAT name before? Hmm... I already have a copy of this (I think I've posted a photo of me holding my other copy in a frame when i first got it), but that one had a title stamp on the back that bled through. It was okay--but had always bothered me. When I saw this one come up I went for it...but not too aggressively...and GOT it. Yahoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/monster_a_go_go_SD03765_T_zpsp5cqo78t.jpg)
DAWN OF THE DEAD (Thai):
I already have this one...but i just could NOT let it go as cheaply as it was being sold for. I hate that I do that...especially since money does not grow on trees...but...now i have 2 copies.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Dawn%20of%20the%20Dead%20Thai%202_zpst8otrppa.jpg)
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (Thai):
The story that applies to DAWN OF THE DEAD above, goes for this NIGHTMARE poster as well. This one though may be earmarked for a friend for Christmas. We'll see...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/A%20Nightmare%20on%20Elm%20Street%20Thai%202_zpshvujgcrz.jpg)
HORROR OF THE JUNGLE (A COMPANY OF WOLVES?) (Thai):
This one is apparently (in English) called HORROR OF THE JUNGLE. But the graphics make it look like it might really be the cool (and somewhat forgotten) 80s werewolf flick A COMPANY OF WOLVES. Hmm. I have no idea, but it was cheap enough so I took a chance...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Horror%20of%20the%20Jungle%20Thai%20possible%20Company%20of%20Wolves_zpskfz2modx.jpg)
SNOW WHITE (Re-release):
I probably already have this, but it was cheap... Why not?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/snow_white_and_the_seven_dwarfs_R87_foil_BM04880_C_zpsltun8da9.jpg)
SLEEPING BEAUTY (Re-release):
Believe it or not, this is the very first paper I have on SLEEPING BEAUTY. I've tried for years to get something--always thwarted. This is probably my least favorite poster for the film, but you have to start somewhere... I do find it interesting though that of all of the characters on the poster, the one who appears in the movie the least--Prince Phillip--is featured twice on it while everyone else only gets one shot. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/sleeping_beauty_R86_BM04880_C_zpsaxgdgw8o.jpg)
SOME LIKE IT HOT (Re-release):
I'll never be able to get a first release for this film... I am reasonably sure i already have this 80s re-release poster, but got it just in case I don't. Love this movie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/some_like_it_hot_R80_intl_SD03750_T_zpskalloyxy.jpg)
ANIMAL HOUSE:
I never really wanted this poster and always thought the movie was just okay--not the brilliant comic classic it has a reputation for. An acquaintance asked me about getting one of these years ago. I told him what to watch out for (fakes) and gave him places to shop for one. I never knew if he ended up scoring one or not...but it somehow put the poster on my radar. After haphazardly trying to get one for years and years, i finally did.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/animal_house_styleB_BM05082_T_zpsi6r56thc.jpg)
THE HILLS HAVE EYES:
I also already have one of these, but its in a tad rougher condition than I am happy with. This one came along and I got it. Whoo hoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/HILLS%20HAVE%20EYES_zpsh1xjokar.jpg)
SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS:
This last one is really the only one i am excited about. It was actually on my bucket/"possible dreams" list. Ooooo SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS!!! If you've never seen it, YES it IS a real movie. It's god-awful, but awesome at the same time. I totally dig the cheesy, zippy little theme song ("Hooray for Santa Claus"). Little Pia Zadora is the little girl Martian in the upper right (below the martian with his arms curved up). WOW! And just in time for the holiday season. Ho ho ho!!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Santa%20Claus%20Conquers%20the%20Martiuans_zpsxvh5gtup.jpg)
Okay--tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Have a groovy holiday everyone. I'm back on my hiatus until around the 1st.
CHEERS!!!!

Cool adds there, Shawn..
And yes... your one Thai poster IS for Company of Wolves (1984) thumbsup.gif.
Great artwork on it, too--very colorful.
-
How do you know that for sure? I looked on IMDB for alternate titles and HORROR OF THE JUNGLE was not listed. Thanks
-

Because I did some quick research. ;D (And that artwork of the wolf's snout coming out of the human mouth was used on many of the poster campaigns).

A-ha! I bow down to your experience and wisdom, o' mighty Jeff. Thanks! Glad you like the other new posters as well.
CHEERS!
-
Some like it hot is such a marvellous film. I would be just happy too with any paper for this film. It has the best ending? Or maybe John Ford's Man who shot Liberty Valance... Uhm... Cant decide... I guess...nobody's perfect ;)
Great poster. Need to watch the film again.
-
Great posters as always, particularly those Thais. Still haven't dipped my toes into the Thai poster world...soon.
-
certainly COMPANY OF WOLVES, Angela's best role outside of MURDER SHE WROTE
-

Yessir..
That.. and her performance in the theatrical production of "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweeney_Todd:_The_Demon_Barber_of_Fleet_Street
She was totally brilliant in this (As well as the 1944 film version of Gaslight)... hands down!!
-
Doh.gif. What would you say if I told you I watched that Dawn of the Dead.....and bid on it?
How about this.....that one and the Nightmare came From the same seller..... Small world my friend, small world! ;D
Does your Snow White 50th have the foil boarder? I noticed the rolled ones have foil, but some of the folded do not....
Hills have eyes bravo!
That is also the only Sleeping Beauty I have...give me time.
Congrats all the way around!
-
certainly COMPANY OF WOLVES, Angela's best role outside of MURDER SHE WROTE
Uhm. How funny. I think her best was in a very small role, truly remarkable in The Long Hot Summer her performance was very powerful.
Mind you.....uhm ehm...I tend to focus on Paul Newman .
-
Doh.gif. What would you say if I told you I watched that Dawn of the Dead.....and bid on it How about this.....that one and the Nightmare came From the same seller
Oh NOOOOO! Sorry. I won't buy any more. ARGH!!!!
Does your Snow White 50th have the foil boarder? I noticed the rolled ones have foil, but some of the folded do not....
No, there's no foil. WhAT YOU see in the picture is it.
Rosa, Jeff, Ari and e...thank you also for visiting.
Happy Thanksgiving.
-
Just giving you a hard time! This is a small community, bid to your hearts content!
I was curious about the 50th Snow White....can't find a reason why one has foil and one does not...otherwise idea identical!
-

Michael Berryman!
Good on you upgrading this classic.

Great tagline...

I'm B-A-C-K from my Thanksgiving trip and short hiatus from the boards. I'll be on and off throughout the month before I go on my big hiatus...where I plan to only visit about once a month throughout 2016. Last April when i hit 50, it was my intention to slow down and only buy posters on my bucket list. That kind of fell by the wayside when I discovered the joys (and seductive temptations) of foreign posters! Italian, French, Mexican, Spanish, German, THAI (! ! ! ! !), Japanese, Belgian, Polish, etc. Instead of buying bucket list titles, i was buying everything and anything on the planet...including a bunch of US crap-ola I didn't need.
So, once 2016 hit, i'll be trying to switch gears again. But more on that plan later...
In the meantime, i have a bunch of new stuff i'll share throughout the coming weeks (before 2016 pops up, anyway). This first batch for the last month of 2015 is snore/bore-inducing. Before we start trudging through this offering from the sludge pile, let me say hello to my recent visitors...
Rosa, it is always a delight and honor to hear from APF's resident female poster fan. Thank you for dropping by...and I agree with you on SOME LIKE IT HOT. But guess what. I have NEVER seen THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE. Shocker, huh?
ARI, do you have internet access still? For some reason, I thought you were going to be off the grid for your summer in the hills. No? Is it scorching hot there yet? Get your bikini wax done? Kowabunga!! (And Santa still wears his heavy furs down there, is that right? GEEZ!)
e, as I posted on your thread, you'll be amazed by some of the similar things I have (which I'll post next time. Promise!) to those you posted on your thread yesterday. Stay tuned and check back later in the week!
Jeff, don't tease Gingerman. Show him the way to his SNOW WHITE foil quest... He's still in his inaugural year on the site. Cut the man some slack. BESIDES, he is super busy organizing his poster website and painting his mural. He doesn't have time to search every thread in APF... :)
Gingerman, hopefully the above will work. Ha! (I'm curious too!)
Steve Your comment has me really thinking about this site. T and the mysterious Holiday are the "owners" of this site...but Jeff is ALL OVER the place on here. How does he have a full time job AND a life AND be able to keep such a close eye on the boards? I'm baffled and amazed. Has he cloned himself? Have you any clue?
Ted, glad you dig the HILLS poster. Take a gander below. It's not nearly as nice, but...it was there and i had to get it.
Okay, now on with the absolute dullest shock-a-rama poster show yet. I hope you are sitting down (so you don't have far to fall when you pass out from sheer boredom...). Here we go-go...
THE HILLS HAVE EYES II:
Zowie! I had seen this ill-advised sequel on video years ago. i never realized it had played theaters. I thought it was strictly a straight-to-video release. WRONG! And here's the lackluster poster to prove it. Oh well, at least Berryman had a job for a few weeks.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Hills%20Have%20Eyes%202_zpsyenojpfh.jpg)
EVIL CLUTCH:
I remember reading about this in the pages of FANGORIA magazine eons ago (It's still in publication, right? I haven't picked up an issue in ages, but back in the day, i remember buying the very first issue in the late 70s with GODZILLA on the cover. THAT's how old i am, boys and girls.. EEK!). It sounded good. I had to see it. There was an old theater that kind of converted itself to an art house/revival theater that actually started showing Troma films. I really wanted to go...and when i finally got to one, I was so disappointed because it was just awful. The theater stopped showing Troma films before EVIL CLUTCH came out...but I caught it on video. Crap. Oh well...the poster is quasi-interesting. Why did I bother? Who knows?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Evil%20Clutch_zpshelcu9pe.jpg)
ASSAULT OF THE KILLER BIMBOS:
I remember seeing this poster as a coming attraction in the snack bar of an old, long-gone drive in in town back in the day. The poster is boring--and looks very wannabe Valley Girl-esque. But that title, ASSAULT OF THE KILLER BIMBOS...WOW! I had to see it. I waited and waited and waited. it NEVER played town. That should have been a sign. I caught it on video eventually...utterly forgettable. I really don't remember much about it other than they seemed to maybe be on the road the whole movie? Maybe it was a comedic chase film? Flashes of desert-like area... Or maybe I am remembering a completely different film? BIMBOS AWAY... (it was cheap.)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Assault%20of%20the%20Killer%20Bimbos_zpsckfongl5.jpg)
DOLLS:
I never saw this, but looks like typical Charles Band crap-a-rama. And it had a theatrical release. Hmm. This would go with the DOLLY DEAREST poster I got a while back.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Dolls_zpsrllnyjxq.jpg)
HANDS OF DEATH and BLOOD FINGERS combo:
I have NO idea what i was thinking when i bought this turd of a poster. I don't even like martial arts films. An utter waste of cash...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Hands%20of%20Death%20and%20Blood%20Fingers_zps76i3j4dk.jpg)
LILO & STITCH lenticular:
I do love my lenticular posters. Ooooo. I'm always on the lookout for bargains too. I've seen the "LILO & STITCH" lenticular offered many times, but usually it is in a foreign language--German, French, Dutch, Japanese... Where the heck was English? i waited and came across one fairly reasonably priced. SOLD!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Lilo%20amp%20Stitch%20lenticular_zpsvsjkhycw.jpg)
NAKED EVIL:
Another "what was I thinking?" purchase... This film is also known as "EXORCISM AT MIDNIGHT". I've seen both versions (on the same DVD). SNORE! It's a black & white, talky British film with absolutely NO horror whatsoever. And NO naked, NO evil and NO exorcism. Zzzzz
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Naked%20Evil%20aka%20Exorcism%20at%20Midnight_zpsgkvkbcwy.jpg)
THE CHARLIE CHAPLIN FESTIVAL (R-1940s):
I bought this? Really? Okay... Uh...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/charlie_chaplin_festival_R60s_dupe3_WC00767_C_zpstjc0t8fy.jpg)
GODZILLA (2014):
I saw the movie and it was better than the Matthew Broderick GODZILLA, but not great. And the poster...such a disappointment. The bus shelter-sized one was nice, but I don't collect them that big. I settled for the one-sheet (international advance version) and only got it because it was cheap. Otherwise, why bother?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/godzilla_advance_intl_BM05110_T_reshot_T_zpshbobm5cv.jpg)
ERNEST SAVES CHRISTMAS:
I know what you are thinking...Monster A GoGo has sunk to a new low by including an ERNEST poster. Oh my STARS!!! The reason this is here is because, many years ago i stopped off at my Grandmother's one afternoon. My grandma was watching a movie. She was smiling through it and I sat and watched a little of it with her. She said "I just love this movie." Okay..., "I watch it every year when it comes on TV." Hmmm. "I remember taking your mom and Uncle Bert to see it when they were little." Huh? I asked her what movie she was talking about. "This one," she said. "It's a Wonderful Life." "Grandma," I told her, "That's not 'It's a Wonderful life.' That's 'Ernest Saves Christmas.' "
To this day I'll never understand how she could have confused them. But THAT is why i have this poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Ernest%20saves%20Christmas_zpsy6jjwdhh.jpg)
And now, you are free... Did everyone survive the onslaught of savage and naked boredom with this lot of posters? I hope so... The NEXT batch will be much groovier, i promise.
CHEERS!

See I think this is the confussion!!!!! This thread is about the Mirror Mirror Snow White. Which I have not purchased/bid because it is so easily damaged, and have not found one in a condition to my liking.
I am referring to the 50th Snow White.

The one I have, the boarder is foil around to the wording 50th Anniversary. It is rolled, GoGo has the folded version and he says it is not foil. Some of this 50th have foil some don't..... hmmm.gif
-
Chris, you have a boarder with foil? Is it tin? That can be a good insulator, especially this time of year, (or when roasting a turkey). Did this person first appear on your doorstep wrapped or rolled in it and is he/she current on the rent?
;D ;D imbecile.gif qip

And now, I hand over my APF spelling police hat to Jeff

Oh man the story about your grandma made me lol, literally. Looking forward to the next shock-a-rama poster show, not that this one was all that bad :P

And now, I hand over my APF spelling police hat to Jeff
I saw it and couldn't resist... it was ripe for the picking. Fun times. ;D

Okay... Shake the sh*t off of your shoes from the last slog through the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. Today's post should (hopefully) be better than yesterday's post.
Jeff and Gingerman, thank you for the amusing banter. It's always nice to see you both here.
Steve, I'm sure I have a new poster that will titillate you somewhat. I'll make sure to include it.
e this is the post that I think you will find a lot of similarities with your recent post...well, SOME anyway.
Let's take a look... (Just don't let your expectations get too high...):
A BLADE IN THE DARK (Italian):
Believe it or not, e, but when I bought this, I had no idea what the US title was. I just liked the spooky art. It was only when i saw it on your page that I realized it was A BLADE IN THE DARK. Are you sitting down? Although I have the DVD, i don't think i've ever seen it. I'm so bad. I have all of these classic Italian horror and giallos on DVD...just never got around to watching them. Where does the time go? (Oh yes...it goes shopping for posters! Duh!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/La%20Casa%20Con%20La%20Scala%20Nel%20Buio_zpsz3nq5izo.jpg)
SUSPIRIA (Japanese Chirashi):
OOPS! Another copycat item. Mine is a chirashi (and your BITD is a locandia --or however it's spelled). I don't recall what yours was offhand. Now i HAVE seen SUSPIRIA several times. Great music, great use of color, great Italian horror! I didn't see it until the video age, but I do remember vividly when I was a kid and the commercials for it would come on TV...the creepy Goblin theme was playing while there was a lady with her back to the camera, brushing her hair and saying the poem from the film...then she turns to the camera and she's a skeleton. Then the announcer says that the only thing more frightening than the last 10 minutes of the movie are the first 82...or something like that! Yowza! That put little Monster A GoGo on his toes. I couldn't wait to see that film. It took more than a decade, but i finally DID see it. Wowzer!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Suspiria%20Japanese%20Chirachi_zpsvyev7sbl.jpg)
THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE (Spanish):
And another poster similar to yours, e. I don't remember yours exactly (I'm afraid to look. Is it the same? ha!) Again, I have this movie--just have never seen it. My bad...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l500_zpswyp8w97g.jpg)
THE TORTURE CHAMBER OF DR. SADISM (Italian):
Steve, this it the one I thought you'd enjoy the most today. I thought the artwork was fab, but again...it's a movie I have never seen.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Torture%20Chamber%20of%20Dr%20Sadism%20Italian_zpsvipmboc1.jpg)
THE OMEN (Turkish):
I know i just got one of these not too long back. However, after years and years of trying to get one on one of the auction sites and always being outbid, I finally clued in to look elsewhere...and got one dirt cheap. When this one came up, equally dirt cheap i couldn't let it go. Maybe I'll send it to the auction house someday so others can bid on it like crazy like I had been doing for so long. LOVE the original "OMEN" movie and this Turkish poster really adds so much over the US one sheet.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Omen%20Turkish_zpsatbbxa1u.jpg)
ALIEN (Turkish):
When I got THE OMEN, i saw this available... Again, dirt cheap. Sold!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Alien%20Turkish_zpsfa2hplbc.jpg)
CARRIE (Turkish):
Another i have been trying to get for years... The original CARRIE is such a great movie, despite the dated fashions and hair. The sequel (yes, there is one...THE RAGE-CARRIE 2), TV remake and recent theatrical remake have nothing on the first one. And you can not top the performances of Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie. The Turkish poster is creepily different than the US poster (which was one of the first posters i ever had...possibly the 2nd or 3rd way back in the day...before i ever saw the movie!). Glad to have this.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/turkish_carrie_dupe3_SD03119_T_zpsngokj041.jpg)
CATHY'S CURSE (Italian):
While no where near as good as CARRIE, this Canadian rip-off was interesting enough for me (but would probably bore everyone else). The poster is sort of ...eh. But why not?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Cathys%20Curse%20Italian_zpshkncuglf.jpg)
MURDERER'S ROW and THE SILENCERS (re-release double feature combo):
I know this is sort of the poster that does NOT go with the others. It doesn't fit in with today's...nor will it fit in with the next few postings i have planned...so i'll just post it here now (it's a combo poster, which will sort of segue into the final poster at least...). I love James Bond flicks and have been tracking down the knock offs lately. While the Matt Helm flicks weren't nearly as good, Dean Martin was, well...Dean Martin-ish--cool, suave, and hip. There were lots of great leading lady co-stars in the series and it was made in the groovy 60s-a-go-go period before the whole hippie/summer of love/peace and flower power thang. I dig it. I don't have many Helm posters yet (do i have any? Maybe a WRECKING CREW that isn't up to the quality i need it to be), so i am thrilled with this combo poster. Yeah, baby!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Murderers%20Row%20and%20The%20Siilencers%20combo_zpspaw4zhk9.jpg)
BRAIN OF BLOOD and VAMPIRE PEOPLE (combo):
Hemisphere Pictures had a string of hits made in the Philippines during the mid/late 60s and early 70s. BLOOD DRINKERS was, i think, the earliest one. Then they started the successful BLOOD ISLAND series (BRIDES OF BLOOD, BEAST OF BLOOD, MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND, etc.). The company got into the habit of releasing one a year around Halloween time (from my understanding of what I've read about them) and they were very successful. When the Philippine filmmakers had trouble, they turned to Al Adamson for their next film...which, keeping with the BLOOD in the titles, was dubbed BRAIN OF BLOOD. Not connected to the other films in any way, many still consider it part of the larger BLOOD series (which, despite many taking place on BLOOD ISLAND, are all unrelated). As an added bonus to appease fans, Hemisphere released BRAIN OF BLOOD with VAMPIRE PEOPLE (which was just a re-titling of BLOOD DRINKERS). I have a lot of the BLOOD posters. I need BRIDES OF BLOOD, but have the other BLOOD ISLAND one sheets. This was an added bonus...not really a BLOOD movie, but sort of. Why not?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Brain%20of%20Blood%20Vampire%20People%20combo_zpsf3dmhzmg.jpg)
And that's all for today, boils and ghouls.
Cha-cha-cha!
-
BRAVO!!! Loving the turkish stuff! Perhaps you might share with me said location of another Turkish Omen/Carrie! Haha thumbsup.gif
I seem to be one step behind you. I just got my Thai Buried Alive, My Friday 13th b2s last night, wonder which way you will go next........
-
Haha wow, you weren't kidding when you said you got similar stuff. You should definitely watch A Blade in the Dark when you have a chance, it's a fine giallo.
Nice Suspiria chirashi, I'm actually starting to grow a bit fond of chirashis(just started a little project where I get the chirashi counterpart to each JP poster I have...maybe that's a bit dorky :P). I'm glad you brought up the commercial for it, I saw it the other day on youtube for the first time and man I can only imagine what it was like seeing that as a kid. In case anyone is interested here it is
http://www.youtube.com/v/_8zbV_fFkYs
Ah looks to be the same The Bird with the Crystal Plumage poster, and from the same person too! He's got some other good Spanish posters, decent prices too compared to some other people ebay. Another movie you should watch soon, I think you got some movies to watch while you're on your break from here :P
The other stuff you got is great too!
-
Thanks MAGG for sharing your titillating poster thumbsup.gif
I also like the Brain of Blood, how weirdly great!
-
Zowie! This looks to be my THIRD posting in less than 24 hours.
Today is an educational post...sharing things i've learned by mistakes I've made...or just from sampling things and realizing now what I like and don't like.
Gingerman, we've already talked.
e, glad you liked the posters...and THANKS for posting the trailer. The commercial was shorter--just the lady brushing her hair. But i had totally forgotten about those trippy, organic-looking breathing letters. Wow! Whoever put that ad together was brilliant.
Steve, glad you liked the one poster I thought of you with and BRAIN OF BLOOD. I agree that BOB has a wonderfully cheezy/sleazy/horror feel to it that is hard to resist.
Okay, here are the next 10:
AMERICAN GRAFFITI (Italian pressbook)
I recently got a US "American Graffiti" even though i'm not a huge fan of the movie. When I stumbled on this...looking so perfect and pristine...and CHEAP...I was beside myself. An Italian dealer had it and others (see the next two items below). I'm still trying to learn my foreign poster sizes...and i THOUGHT this was a poster. And it's hard dealing with dealers when you don't speak their lingo...and vice/versa. I bought it. OOPS. it's a pressbook.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/AmericAN%20gRAFFITI%20PRESSBOOK%20Italian_zpsu9gzib4u.jpg)
FROM BEYOND (Spanish pressbook):
Same story as above. It looked perfect and unique and was so cheap. NOT a poster...it's a pressbook. Rats!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/From%20Beyond%20pressbook%20Spanish_zpssim0c0kn.jpg)
THE TRIUMPH OF HERCULES (Spanish pressbook):
Here is another pressbook I mistook for an incredibly stunning poster in perfect condition. Drat! Drat! DRAT!!! Lesson learned...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Triumph%20of%20Hercules%20pressbook%20Italian_zpsttnbjhil.jpg)
VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (Spanish herald):
This is a Spanish herald---not a poster. Lesson learned #2
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l1600%202_zpsgfzt7luv.jpg)
PIRATAS SUBMARINE ( SUBMARINE PIRATES? Spanish):
This one is a poster...and it's not so much a "lesson" i learned, I just thought it was interesting to note that the poster for this "movie" is apparently culled from episodes of the old "SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN". Nowhere on the poster does it reference the TV show, but if you look at the cast list (Lee Majors, Richard Anderson, Martin Brooks), it can't be anything else. Ha! How funny. Looks like that shark is going to get its jaw bionically ripped open. (Que bionic sound effect!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Piratas%20Submarinos_zps7cgmqtfa.jpg)
TINTORERA (Italian):
TINTORERA is an awful, awful sucky movie. I would not recommend wasting your time on it. However the German poster (which i recently got) is pretty cool with its monster shark swimming about. I like my JAWS knock-offs and decided to go ahead and get the Italian version (which is very similar to the US version...just that there's more art around the edges in the Italian version and, oh yes, the girl victim is nude! Ha!). This is a 2F. I just got a bunch of 2Fs in today and OH MY STARS! I forgot how HUGE they are. EEEK! Lesson learned today is that I prefer the Italian one sheet size over the 2F...or, god forbid, the 4F. Eeek! i just got a whole bunch of 2Fs (to be shared in the coming days...). Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Tintorera%20Italian_zpse3ptybx1.jpg)
TINTORERA (Italian soggettone):
Yes, more TINTORERA. Just because I buy the posters is NOT an endorsement for the movie. AVOID IT---really! This one shows the real shark with a person in its mouth. The person looks like a CPR dummy. Ha! It probably is. This poster is a soggettone or something like that. Yeah...i've decided that in addition to the too large 2F and 4fs, I'm not wild about the Italian soggettone sizes or the locandinas. They're okay--just not 'me" (I was always a US one sheet kind of guy until i ventured out into the foreign posters this year).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Tintorera%20Italian%20Soggettone_zpsshtvtxts.jpg)
ENCOUNTER IN THE DEEP (Spanish):
This is not the actual poster I got --but a photo I found online to demonstrate. (The one i got was shown in close up of various quadrants--no full shot). I really don't know what I was thinking when i got this, I've never heard of this flick,,,but apparently something about aliens, the Bermuda Triangle and diving. Bound to be dumb, i'm sure..,. But the dealer was kind enough to include two fotobustas of the same movie with this. The poster is a Spanish release...but the fotobustas are for Italian releases. Whatever...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Encuentro%20en%20el%20abismo_zpsxq19xhd5.jpg)
ENCOUNTER IN THE DEEP (Italian fotobustas):
Here are the fotobustas, What I learned from these is...I'm not really wild about fotobustas either. These are my first. Except for one other i'll share later, they'll probablyt be my last. They're just (to me) glorified lobby cards...which I've purchased in the past, but really do not collect. Oh well. These were at least free.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l1600%204_zpsayvzoc58.jpg)
Hey, i just realized. The guy in this movie is the same guy (Andres Garcia) that's in TINTORERA. Amazing! He got another job after that stinker of a shark movie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l1600%203_zpsrkqa39qz.jpg)
Okay. There...three posts in less than 24 hours. Shall i go for a 4th? Nah... i'll save that for later. i have stuff to do.
Have a groovy evening.
Cheers!
-
I like the pressbooks, buy a cheap frame and enjoy them
Re Fotobustas! I LOVE them, yes they are lobby cards, seriously some have great art, and the quality of the photos can be great (especially 60's ones)
good stuff, enjoy.

DOLLS:
I never saw this, but looks like typical Charles Band crap-a-rama. And it had a theatrical release. Hmm. This would go with the DOLLY DEAREST poster I got a while back.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Dolls_zpsrllnyjxq.jpg)
Don't write this one off too quickly, Go-Go.
It is a loving homage to classic 30s horror starring Guy Rolfe (Mr. Sardonicus), who is eerily reminiscent of Boris Karloff in his role as a mysterious toymaker.
The director of this class act is none other than Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond, Castle Freak, etc.).
I'm glad you brought this one up as it is one I would recommend to Quadmaster Paul Waines, who is always searching for films that he might not have seen.
Its from 1987 and easily one of my favorite horror films of that decade.
Watch it and you'll thank me later.
Okay... I'll get off my DOLLS soapbox now.

AGREED! Its LOTS of fun.
and apart from Gordon, theres Brian (Society) Yuzna!

I will have to look it up, because I have not seen this one!
Ditto what Gingerman says...

CARRIE (Turkish):
Another i have been trying to get for years... The original CARRIE is such a great movie, despite the dated fashions and hair. The sequel (yes, there is one...THE RAGE-CARRIE 2), TV remake and recent theatrical remake have nothing on the first one. And you can not top the performances of Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie.

Great design for a great film.
Lots of wicked psychotronic scores in the last few days, Go-Go.
God help the next exploitation fan who stands in your path, 'cause you are a true movie monster.
cheers
-
Okay, okay...here's a 4th posting. Whoo hoo!
Ari, apparently you ARE still online where ever you are. Cool.
Ted, thanks for bringing DOLLS to my attention. it can't be that hard to find. i'll have to track it down...
Gingerman, how is the painting coming along?
With the close of escrow on my house sale coming either late this week or early next week, I thought I'd do a mini-salute to real estate in movie posters!
LA CASA (aka EVIL DEAD) (Italian):
Let's take a look at this first house... LA CASA is the name they stuck on THE EVIL DEAD when it first played in Italy. That kind of makes sense--it's an acceptable title---except the house in the movie looks NOTHING like the house depicted on the poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l500%207_zpsz8kflyz1.jpg)
LA CASA 2 (aka EVIL DEAD 2) (Italian):
Our next stunning model home is none other than EVIL DEAD 2, of course. It has high ceilings, low floors and things in the basement best left alone...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l500%206_zpskrruotev.jpg)
LA CASA 3 (aka GHOSTHOUSE) (Italian):
I know. i know... You were expecting ARMY OF DARKNESS when we got to our lovely third CASA, weren't you? WRONG! Those wacky Italians who pay so little attention to things like copyrights. Similar to how DAWN OF THE DEAD (released as ZOMBI in Italy) got illegitimately sequelized with ZOMBI 2 (which we call ZOMBIE), those silly Italians slapped on the LA CASA moniker on anything spooky house related. In this case it's actually the totally unrelated GHOSTHOUSE. Spooky clown doll anyone?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/La%20Casa%203%20Ghosthouse_zpsrryuwv7n.jpg)
LA CASA 4 (aka WITCHERY) (Italian):
And here we are in the David Hasselhoff/Linda Blair WITCHERY chateau. I never dared to venture inside myself. This CASA just looks awful to me. No need to test it out.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/La%20Casa%204%20Italian_zpszcbdcsuq.jpg)
LA CASA 5 (aka BEYOND DARKNESS) (Italian):
This CASA I've never seen before...I just never knew it existed really. Oh, but I hear it's BEYOND DARKNESS, dah-ling! That's all the rage this year, or so i hear...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/La%20Casa%205_zpsp7ob4bd4.jpg)
LA CASA 7 (aka THE HORROR SHOW)(Italian):
Talk about misnumbering. It may be LA CASA 7 (sorry--i do NOT have LA CASA 6), but here it was released as THE HORROR SHOW when it really should have been called HOUSE 3 (which is why here there's a HOUSE, HOUSE 2, and a HOUSE 4...NO part 3).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/La%20Casa%207_zpsvwypqdbw.jpg)
LA CASA IN HELL STREET (aka SCREAM FOR HELP) (Italian):
Although there are only supposed to be 7 films in the LA CASA series, I HAVE seen a LA CASA 13 in my shopping (it was a 4F...NO THANK YOU!). Hmm. While not part of the LA CASA series, I thought you'd still like a walk through. LA CASA IN HELL STREET (interesting how the last three words in this Italian-ized title are in English) may look like a Craftsman home or possibly a bit of a Victorian style abode, but it's actually SCREAM FOR HELP, yet another film i have not seen.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/La%20casa%20in%20Hell%20Street%20Italian_zpsndhvuhzc.jpg)
IN QUELLA CASA BUIO OMEGA (aka BUIO OMEGA) (Italian):
This house is the home of the famed necro-chiller BUIO OMEGA. Apparently this IS a first release poster (that's what i was told). On it's initial release it was called both IN QUELLA CASA BUIO OMEGA and just BUIO OMEGA. Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l1600_zps2cu02iqy.jpg)
LA CASA DI MARY (aka SUPERSTITION) (Italian):
I am sure I saw this flick in the theater in the 80s. I remember seeing some bat-sh*t craziness in this haunted house flick. Years l;ater when i tracked it down, I could swear i was watching a different film. This was SUPERSTITION and either there are two films with that title (that used the same one sheet) or I'm losing it...or SOMETHING! Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l1600%209_zpsq3mk2sxj.jpg)
HOUSE OF EXORCISM (Spanish):
Mario Bava's LISA AND THE DEVIL was a deemed unreleaseable in the 70s because it was too slow paced and too cerebral. Add some reshoots of exorcism stuff and voila, you have HOUSE OF EXORCISM. I like my EXORCIST ripoffs and I liked this film. Cool poster art--very different than the US one sheet.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l500%2010_zps5l8eexpp.jpg)
CASTASTROFE (aka DEATH QUAKE?) (Italian soggettone or fotobusta?):
Let's head downtown a bit and...oops! Earthquake!!!! I am pretty sure that this CATASTROFE is a re-titling of a Japanese disaster film I saw years ago under the title DEATH QUAKE that totally rips off EARTHQUAKE but on a much over-the-top scale (with silly Godzilla-like miniature effects). This is supposed to be a fotobusta...but aren't the fotobustas that are vertical the soggettones? I have no idea what this is...)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l1600%205_zpsqq8bg4jl.jpg)
ZOMBIE (Thai):
Lastly, there go the property values if the living dead move into your city. EEEK! It's the Thai version of ZOMBIE!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Zombie%20Thai_zpswu9tq8wf.jpg)
And that's it for now... The bathroom is calling me. Gotta run.
CHEERS!
-
when I was a kid my mother had the paperback of carrie with that art on it, scared the SHIT out of me, she told me the story briefly and I READ IT, was hooked on King (books) until I was 12. I saved [pocket money and bought all his books, and then as a new one came out bought it also.
At 12 I discovered Poe and then Lovecraft (and others) and forgot about King. But still shaped my tastes I am sure.
-
Great stuff! Really glad you tackled the wacky La Casa series of posters, they've intrigued me for quite some time. I really like them especially because of how weirdly skewed they depict the movies with them, moreso for the Evil Deads. Love the Zombie Thai as well, I really want to get one but can't really dish that much cash out for a poster at the moment...some day.
Man, 4 posts in one day? That's my kind of shock-a-rama poster show! happy1

Is that the first time ANYONE has EVER documented the La Casa puzzle?????
And so colorfully, to boot?
Go-Go is making internet history!

I'm not going to jinx it with an early CONGRATS so I will stand down for now....... ;) but hopefully you have some good news to share soon! by the way MAGG how do you file/find your posters? Have I ever asked you that? Do you know how many you have?

TINTORERA is an awful, awful sucky movie.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Tintorera%20Italian_zpse3ptybx1.jpg)
Yep...but cool poster. thumbup thumbup
-
The other day, I had a post with a lot of things geared towards Mister e. Today's post will have a special nod towards Jeff. See if you can spot it.
Crazy Vick...thanks for the non-jinxed (hopefully) early congrats. My fingers are crossed all goes through. I've been poster shopping as if it were going through--EEEK! so NOT cool of me. I'm on pins and needles... it could be tomorrow or Monday or...it could fall through at the last second. I had one more document sent to me that i had to sign and return today. Yikes! As for my storage/cataloging of my posters or how many i have...that is a mystery. I am still in my "shack-o-rama", a "temporary" place I went to with all of my stuff when i went back to school. I had 2 houses...one a rental (that's the one i am selling) and the one I lived in (which is rented out)...but, while in school. i was forced to quite my job and had no income. I have massive debt from my school years (and poster addiction). The house sale will wipe out the credit card debt. My poster shopping I hope to curtail by limiting myself to a list of posters in 2016. I hope it works.
This is the LAST winter I want to spend in this dump (no heat and I get all of this smoke from the chimney next door, etc). I'm hoping to move to the Bay Area (if I can land a nursing job) and eventually sell my other house/buy a new place in Washington on Whidbey Island near where my mom moved to. That I'd rent out as a vacation place (so i could have a place to stay when i visited--yet still have income coming in to help with the mortgage) while earning money in the Bay Area until i retire (or die). BUT--until i am out of the hole i am in--there's no way to count/record exactly what posters i have (which is why i love posting on here---to see what i have), etc. Everything sent to me in a tube remains in the tube. Flat/folded stuff is just put in a box...and i have a lot of boxes and tubes! ARGH!
Rosa, glad you also found the tale of my grandmother's strange movie mistake amusing. I'm still baffled by it. AND, just for you, i ordered THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE earlier today.
Ari I leave the Django mystery up to you. That is a HUGE mess to untangle. I bought the CARRIE novel "for my mom" for Christmas one year--so i could read it after she was done. My copy had the US poster photo on the cover---glamour Carrie and bloody Carrie. Creepy!
Ted and Gingerman....uh, thanks. I still need to get a LA CASA 6 2F (but after that, i think i'll try to stick to 1 F...if i can find any. Yowza! The Italian posters are just huge...like the g r a n d e s from France that Thierry despises.). And Ted, your comment on the CARRIE poster (glad you groove on the poster, by the way)... You said "God help the next exploitation fan who stands in your path, 'cause you are a true movie monster." Well, I've already accidentally outbid and bought several things out from under Gingerman's grasp! OOPS! I feel bad about it and have told him so. (And i've also told him that, for Christmas, i'll tell him some of my not-so-secret "secret spots" to shop!) Ha! How astute of you to see that coming. I may be a monster, but at least I'm a gentleman about it.
Neo...You snuck in at the last moment! Yes, i dig the poster. I am such a fan of the JAWS ripoffs...no matter how bad they are. And the posters are usually FAB. Thanks!
Okay...here's another batch ( a rather hodge-podge-y batch):
THE GREEN SLIME (Spanish):
I have/love the US one sheet (had a stained one for years...another of my earliest posters. Sold that off a while back and finally got a replacement this year). I stumbled on thios Spanish version--which is completely different. it was cheap, so i snapped it up!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l500%204_zpsa0b4kfx3.jpg)
THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN (French p e t i t e):
Cool monster art--sure is better than the US poster. Another bargain i couldn't pass up.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/french_small_incredible_melting_man_SD03713_T_zpswhle9slu.jpg)
NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES (Spanish):
I had no idea what this was until I googled it a few minutes ago. I just liked the art. Very creative poster...for such a schlocky movie. I wonder if i had known what this poster was for if i would have bothered. Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l500%202_zpsokpldqvj.jpg)
THE LADY HAS BEEN RAPED (Italian):
I had no idea what this was when i picked it up either. I thought maybe it was some silly supernatural sex comedy (based on the devil guy's facial expression, OK finger gesture and obviously phallic tail. I really couldn't tell by the woman's expression if she were terrified or just surprised). OOPS! i apologize to Rosa now if she is offended by it. I just googled the title as well. IMDB had virtually NO information about it. It was another cheap-O.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/La%20Signora%20E%20Stata%20Violentata%20Italian_zpsbskhqpjl.jpg)
THE HOWLING (Spanish): Very different poster art for this Spanish release. The face doesn't look like a werewolf, but then it doesn't really look like anything--just creepy.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l500%209_zpspcdh3j0m.jpg)
THE HOWLING II (Italian): After finding the Spanish HOWLING above, i couldn't believe my luck when i stumbled on this cool Italian HOWLING 2 poster. The movie is crappy...and normally (because I didn't like the film), i'd pass on the poster. But JEFF had one a while back. The more i looked at it, the more i saw how cool it really is -- regardless of the movie it represents. (Just like my NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES poster above) Thanks for the inspiration, Jeff!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Howling%202%20italian_zpsoar4ceqa.jpg)
SWAMP OF THE RAVENS (Spanish):
I actually saw this movie not too long ago. It wasn't great, but the DVD cover was cool. Lo and behold...the cover was the movie poster! I don't know if there is an English poster for this or not--I've never seen one. I know I saw one ofd these go at auction not too long ago. i was watching it---but stopped when it went higher than i was willing to pay for it (which wasn't much. Ha!). This one was also a cheap-o. Although the artwork is kind of primitive, i dig it--the woman wading through the swamp fild with corpses and body parts while the ravens caw away from above.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l500%201_zpsx9es4koc.jpg)
CRASH OF FLIGHT 401 (Spanish):
This is yet another case of a US TV movie getting theatrical play overseas. Ha! This movie is based on a true story about a flight that crashed in the swamps in Florida just after takeoff. i wish it would be released on DVD. I like my disaster flicks. I'm just sorry this is based on a real incident.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Crash%20of%20Flight%20401%20spanish_zpszckixoa7.jpg)
CRASH OF FLIGHT 401 (aka S.O.S. MIAMI AIRPORT) (Italian):
Here is the same movie as above...yet the Italian version saddled with a different title (in English!), "S.O.S. Miami Airport"! of the two, i think i like this poster better.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Crash%20of%20Flight%20401%20aka%20SOS%20Miamio%20Airport%20Italian_zps7jciydoo.jpg)
RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (Thai):
Here's my fave-o-rite poster o' the bunch...the awesome Thai version of "RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD"! Oooo i needed one of these. Just gorgeous!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Return%20of%20the%20Living%20Dead%20Thai_zps8xltxg7w.jpg)
Okay--that's enough for now. I'm hungry and freezing (remember--i have NO HEAT! Brrr...)
Have a groovy rest of the day.
CHEERS!

Shawn!!!!!! I am so glad to read that you have ordered the film "The man who shot Liberty Valance". I do hope you enjoy. It is a masterpiece. Let me know what you think...oh hope you like it...!!
Ps. Re. Your Italian poster. Anything with the "R@@e" word, or images suggesting it ..just makes me....ill.uffffff.. :-[ but i know you are a nurse and i am in good hands re you mean well (hehe..what a bad pun)
-
As I said, i thought it was some silly supernatural sex comedy (I do NOT read Italian). I looked it up and it IS apparently a sex comedy. It's about a woman who is convinced her husband is possessed by the devil and feels violated if he (possessed by the devil) touches her. By the end of the movie, she realizes it's all in her head...and that her analyst is the one who put the idea there. (At least that is what i understood from the translated web page i found the description on). So, apparently, the worst thing about it is the title (well, the whole film sounds forgettable, but...)
I apologize again if it bothered you.
-
Nah..no need to! ;D
-
Howling II- the Italian 2-foglio, is a a cool and unique poster, art-wise, Shawn.
Congrats on the pick-up.

Jeff, like i said in my post...if it had not been for YOU getting one and posting..and then me actually LOOKING at the poster instead of just the title...i wouldn't have been able to see the very cool art in front of me. So thank YOU for being my mentor once again.

Whidbey Island!!!!!
I adore this area. I spent around 10/11 months working in Mukilteo/Everett area for Boeing. If my memory serves me, the dock for the island is at the northern end of the Mukilteo speedway!!!! I stayed in a nice little place not too far from the beach. I was there in 2009/10. The salmon spawned in 09, superb fishing!!!
Give this link a moment to load, but this is Boeing's 787 unit 9998 Fatigue unit. This is the tool they are using to test the fatigue life of the aircraft.

To the left is the runway they used for the first test flight of the 787. I was there when it flew for the first time!!!! To the right of the runway running up and down there are 11 aircraft. These are all mostly 787......the early stages of this program was a horrible failure. These aircraft will most likely be scrapped, as the rework and paperwork would out weigh the cost at current state. If you zoom in a little bit you will see the bridge that goes over the highway. Connecting the Boeing main plant to the airfield. Imagine driving down the highway at the moment they are moving an aircraft across the bridge. You can see some of the larger aircraft are enormous. The 747, even with the canted wings, tip to tip is just under the length of a football field.

REALLY!!??!! You were at Boeing in 2009/2010. You may know my brother Seth. He works there. Ha! I don't know what he was doing in 2009/10, but he is in management now.
How crazy that our lives have almost a six degrees of Kevin Bacon...er, BOEING thing going on.
Cheers!

Hi there. I have nothing new to share at the moment. I'm just here because this is my 500th comment on the boards. I want to see if my star count changes or maybe my status changes. Probably won't happen until my 1,000th comment (5,000th?), but I thought I'd see any way. Whoo hoo!
Also, not that it's all that exciting, but here is a link to the online interview with me I did with/for Amanda sheriff to help promote a new book, The overstreet Guide to Collecting Movie Posters (which I've purchased and like. It was only $15 plus postage. Good deal! Jeff is actually included in the book. Someone else from here is too apparently, but not sure who. I'm not in it--no big deal--but I was happy to do the interview any way).
I like how it turned out okay except I noticed that in the body of the text, all of the extraneous information i added that was bracketed off with parentheses "()" is now separated with commas...which makes it confusing in a few instances. Oh well.
But how exciting, huh? (Ha! Whatever...) Here's the link in case you didn't see it on the other thread:

Believe it or not, but I was going to throw in some Thais. Then i went back and double checked your interview...and guess what? The Thais you used were the same Thais I was going to use. Of course! Ha! So i went ahead and used all US one sheets. That's what i had the most decent photos of anyway.
But thanks!

Hi there... I'm B-A-C-K with 10 more new random posters I recently picked up to share!
CREEPSHOW (Italian):
Zowie! I was looking for posters (duh) and i stumbled on this. OOooo so differrent than the US posters and yet so creepy cool. Zowie! I don't think i had seen this style before. Had to get it. especially since it wasn't very expensive (I like 'em cheap and cool!).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l1600%206_zpslikk98av.jpg)
VAMPIRE HAPPENING (Italian):
I had no idea what this poster was for when i bought it. i still don't. (I've never heard of "VAMPIRE HAPPENING".) The artwork was cheesy, but amusing...not the really classy stuff the Italians are known for in their posters (like the very nice poster for THE TORTURE CHAMBER OF DR SADISM I got a little while back). I just thought why not? It's kind of different.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Vampire%20Happening%20Italian_zpsawsgbcdh.jpg)
ZOMBI 3
I decided to try and pick up some of the ZOMBIE posters. Maybe that was a mistake? zOMBI 1 (aka DAWN OF THE DEAD) is super pricey...as is ZOMBI 2 (aka to us, ZOMBIE). But ZOMBI 3? AFFORDABLE! I've not even seen a ZOMBI 4 poster yet. Hmm. Anyway, while ZOMBI 3 was disappointing, the poster is kind of nicely done. Two (dead and rotting...but still twitching) thumbs up.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Zombie%203%20Italian_zpskqtcit3j.jpg)
THE 4D MAN
I have wanted one of these for years! I've never seen the movie, but as a guy who loves gimmicks and is wild about vintage 3D movies, who WOULDN'T be suckered by a title called THE 4D MAN!?! It's probably a crappy flick. I wish there was some sort of gimmick they had used to with the movie in addition to the title--oh well. Glad to finally get one.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l1600%201_zpsoe3q7h2b.jpg)
PINK FLAMINGOS
I am also super glad to score this original French release poster for PINK FLAMINGOS. i have the re-release one sheet for the flick--and that's fine. But to get something vintage--is so cool. I dig John Waters flicks (the earlier ones are the better ones, in my opinion). I'd really like to score the French poster and (especially) the US one sheet for FEMALE TROUBLE. However, this PINK FLAMINGOS is a big coup for me. Color me thrilled...and I didn't have to eat any dog poop to get it. Hooray!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/french_small_pink_flamingos_SD03713_T_zpsz9pxoky8.jpg)
SNOW WHITE
Could this possibly be the "geatest" poster ever made? You know by now I like my kiddie matinee posters...and I am pretty sure I already have this poster (but I must have gotten it before APF. i don't see a copy on here). Long before i bought the poster, i ran across the VHS tape for this in a bargain bin. I laughed out loud in the store because there was a glaring spelling error on the front cover. Instead of reading "The greatest fairy tale..." there was a typo and it read "The geatest fairy tale...". (Found an example of the video and am showing it below. Look in the blue shy background area.) Too bad the actual poster (below the video box) does NOT have the same typo...or it very well could have been the geatest poster of all time. No, i have never seen the movie. I'm sure it's the geatest though.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Snow%20whit%20geatest%20VHS_zpseoowswkp.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Snow%20White_zpsvotzpilr.jpg)
INVINCIBLE BARBARIAN Yugoslavian):
I don't know this movie at all...but it was colorful, action-packed, and CHEAP. Wait...what year was this from? Seems like there was a 60s peplum with that name--but then, those old peplums were constantly retitled from country to country. Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/yugoslavian_invincible_barbarian_ES00768_T_zpsszoarc8q.jpg)
LA VENDETTA DI URSUS (Italian):
Speaking of old peplums, I have this poster for one here. This is the original Italian poster where it was called LA VENDETTA DI URSUS. I have not tried to see what the US title was for this yet, but I doubt it was an URSUS movie by the time it reached out shores. The heroes of those old sword and sandal movies often had name changes when they crossed borders. Maciste became Hercules. Hercules became Samson. Samson became Ursus. Etc. Etc. Etc. Most of the movies that starred the character URSUS on our shores starred Ed Fury. This one stars Samson Burke (who actually played Hercules once in THE THREE STOOGES MEET HERCULES).But I thought this was a very nicely done example of sword and sandal art from the era. Oh...i was mistaken. i just looked it up and it was released here as THE VENGEANCE OF URSUS. Groovy.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Vendetta%20of%20Ursus%20Italian_zpsz5anrjki.jpg)
SCARS OF DRACULA with HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN and COUNT DRACULA AND HIS VAMPIRE BRIDE
The last two posters are together in the same photo. There is a dealer on eBay who usually has good quality stuff. i check in from time to time to see what he has. He can be pricey,,,but once in a while you find a bargain. He was auctioning off these two posters together. I bid on them, was outbid, and didn't give it a second thought.., Until several weeks later when he emailed me, offering them to me as the original winner never paid up. Hmm. I really wasn't interested. I already had a copy of COUNT DRACULA AND HIS VAMPIRE BRIDE. I only really wanted/needed the DRACULA/FRANKENSTEIN combo poster, and he was asking a little more than my original bid amount for them. However, he had offered me some deals in the past. So, in order to keep that little relationship alive, i agreed to buy them. Ring-a-ding-doo... I wasn't too thrilled about the deal, but whatever. I'm sure he was happy to have made the sale.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Drac%20Frank%20combo%20and%20Vampire%20Bride_zpsixombyfe.jpg)
And that's all of the time we have today, kiddies. Next time, as i have done in the past with posters that have either made me think about some of you (like Steve) or been inspired by your taste in posters (like the recent one I did for "e"),,,or like the nod to "Jeff" when i got a copy of his same HOWLING 2 poster, I am doing a posting inspired by Rosa!
That will be next week some time! (And then i have one coming up inspired by Ted! Oh boy!)
Check back later if you can.
CHEERS!
-
Shawn, so when you say "the latest random buys" does that mean that these posters have no real meaning of any kind to you? (impulse buys)
Or do you know or like the films they are from? Or is the the art? A combo of things?
Just curious is all. :D
-
Jeff,
Oh no no no no... My wording was probably not the best (I was fighting a big case of the sleepies after a heavy late lunch of pasta. ZZZZ. I'm still sort of zonkered out).
What i meant by random buys was that I found them at random---I was not searching for them---and that they are randomly placed on the page. There's no "theme" (like the "real estate" day when i was looking at the LA CASA series or my travel day when i had all international posters).
I dig all of the posters I bought in this posting. The only possible exception is the two poster deal (which wasn't so much of a "deal" to me when it was presented to me)--but I do like the posters (just wish they had been less expensive. Ha!) The CREEPSHOW is so cool. The VAMPIRE HAPPENING is also super nifty in a silly, comic way. I love the action in that fist for ZOMBI 3 (the movie is just so...eh...but the poster is cool!). 4D MAN i've been trying to get for ages--wow! PINK FLAMINGOS--ditto. SNOW WHITE...hello? You must know I dig those kiddie matinee posters by now. And I really like the art in the URSUS and BARBARIAN posters.
I wouldn't have picked up any of them if I didn't like them. Have i seen the films for all of them? NO. CREEPSHOW I have and PINK FLAMINGOS and ZOMBI 3. The rest i haven't.
I'm sorry if I gave you a callous impression. Like i said, I've been fighting the sleepies. By and large it's the art that drew me to tonights posters.
Can you decipher an answer to your question in that jumble anywhere? Hope so...
CHEERS!
-
Cool, Shawn.. and thanks. ;)
I know you are a Huge movie hound.. (and Ive also bought posters for movies I havent seen, but that has then inspired me to want to see them-- so the posters are doing their "job"..LOL).. but wanted to ask.
Ive also tripped upon things that were not expected.. and those can be some of the best. They hit me, and it's like I just know. Something about them calls out, and it's one I then want to add to my collection.
So i can totally relate to your way of thinking... For Sure.

Jeff---I have been spending way, way, WAY too much time shopping lately. I go back to work (finally) on Monday so that will stop. (I've been sooooo bored on my medical leave.) So i've been finding way too many cool posters...and spending way too much money on them. EEK! but i know what you mean when you say the "call out" to you. The ones in today's posting more or less all called out to me. I sometimes wish i was deaf to posters... Ha!
Ari--Are you going to enlighten us? Now that you mention it, it does have a lot of familiar-looking elements. But i can't place any of them... I have NOT seen the BARBARIAN movie (never heard of it), but I have seen CANNIBAL QUEEN. I also have ADDIOS UNCLE TOM...just have not watched it yet. Good, huh?

I think many of us wish that same thing, from time to time, too Shawn.
Good to read that you are all mended and are able to get back to work, too. I know knee things can often be a long and arduous process.

Hi there. It's time for the Shock-A-Rama Poster Show once again. Tonight it is a kinder, gentler, less bloody version as I post new acquisitions, some of which remind me of Rosa. (Ted, I've got a post with YOU in mind coming soon...)
Jeff & Ari, thanks for popping by since the last time I was on here. Cool Cushing pic Ari, Is that a look you aspire to? Just teasing...but the hair in that last selfie (with the Christmas card) looked pretty darn Cushing-esque! Hee hee!
SOME LIKE IT HOT (Spanish re-releases):
Not long ago Rosa posted something in the new acquisitions--examples of Spanish and Japanese versions of the SOME LIKE IT HOT poster. I also recently got an 80s US re-release poster for the film. Well, i also just got these two Spanish posters. The top one is like the one Rosa posted (in fact, i am using that same image to illustrate mine. The picture I have for my copy is much smaller) and the other I THINK is a take on the 80s re-release poster. That 80s re-release and these two Spanish posters are my only paper on the film and the only paper I have on Monroe except for... (continued below)

LOVE HAPPY (Spanish):
...except for THIS Spanish poster as well! I am pretty sure I have LOVE HAPPY, but (gasp!) I have never seen it. In fact, i don't think I've ever seen a complete Marx brothers movie...just bits and pieces. Saw this Spanish poster, reasonably priced and snapped it up. (Again--the image below is NOT the actual poster I have. The photo i have to illustrate the actual piece is tiny.)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Love%20Hasppy%20spanish_zpsoaeb9goz.jpg)
THE HAPPY WORLD OF LAUREL AND HARDY (Spanish):
While I was picking up the Monroe & Marx Brothers poster, I thought I'd go ahead and add spome more classic comedy. I really dig the likenesses of Laurel & Hardy here. I have nothing else on the duo, so thought, why not? It wasn't too expensive.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l500%203_zpszjp6rpuj.jpg)
ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND (Spanish):
Our last Spanish poster for today is for the British 70s musical "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". Cool poster art (different than the US version). i remember wanting to see this film as a kid really badly. Why? They had a good PR gimmick! Not long before the film came out, my family was at a local mall. There was this huge walk through display set up down the center of the mall that was supposed to be Wonderland with several costumed characters to greet you as you walked along through it. At the end, you were given a balloon with the name of the movie (and probably the release date) on it. WOW! If only ALL movies went to such lengths to promote themselves. That was so awesome--i just had to see the flick.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Alices%20Adventures%20in%20Wonderland%20Spanish_zpsgg05yrbj.jpg)
HOLES (British quad):
Jumping across to England, it's quad time. HOLES thankfully was a good movie--very faithful to the book. When i was teaching 4th grade, I read HOLES to my students every year for two or three years before the movie came out (and before I left the profession...). My students LOVED the book and I used to make up voices for all of the characters so they could tell who was talking while i was reading. As i recall, the last class i read this to had the movie to look forward to the spring after we read it. When i saw it, i was so pleased it was so close to the novel. I wanted my students to really enjoy the experience...but many came to me saying they did NOT like it because the characters did NOT sound right. They didn;t sound the way I had made them sound as we read the book. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Holes%20quad_zpsuwyllecc.jpg)
THE HOLE (British quad):
When i discovered HOLES i also stumbled on THE HOLE in 3D. Huh? What is this movie? i have never heard of it--and i'm a sucker for 3D flicks. Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Hole%203D%20quad_zpssb3ousvi.jpg)
SEPTEMBER STORM:
Speaking of 3D flicks, here's the poster for an older 3D movie that touts it's gimmick without even saying outright that it's 3D! ha! When SEPTEMBER STORM came out, the gimmick of 3D must have been waning as this poster screams out that the movie is in STEREO VISION (instead of 3D). Unsuspecting ticket goers were probably ticked to learn STEREO VISION was just 3D...but hopefully the movie and the 3D effects were good. I'd love to see it...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/September%20Storm_zpscn46dk1e.jpg)
FANNY HILL:
Huh? i don't even remember buying this. Really.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Fanny%20Hill_zps5xmjeqms.jpg)
ELVIS THE MOVIE:
I totally forgot I bid (very modestly) on this as well. I thought it would be a hoot. I'm no Elvis fan. At first i thought this was a concert movie or something...until i read the credits. Ha! It;'s the John Carpenter directed TV movie starring Kurt Russell that they re-released in theaters. Too funny.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Elvis%20the%20Movie_zpsdwahfd2h.jpg)
That's about it for today. Rosa, the ones towards the top are the ones that bring you to mind. And also, guess what came in the mail today? (Now I just have to find some time to watch it. Ha!)
See you next time! Happy Hannukah if that's your thing.
CHEERS!

ZOMBI 3
I decided to try and pick up some of the ZOMBIE posters. Maybe that was a mistake? zOMBI 1 (aka DAWN OF THE DEAD) is super pricey...as is ZOMBI 2 (aka to us, ZOMBIE). But ZOMBI 3? AFFORDABLE! I've not even seen a ZOMBI 4 poster yet. Hmm. Anyway, while ZOMBI 3 was disappointing, the poster is kind of nicely done. Two (dead and rotting...but still twitching) thumbs up.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Zombie%203%20Italian_zpskqtcit3j.jpg)
I really dig the artwork on this one, Shawn.
You have an incredible collection.
cheers

Thank you, Ted. Just wait. I have a post I think you will especially like I'll get to on Saturday or so...
Cheers

UUHHMMM...its almost Saturday! binoc.gif

It be the "or so" part of my message. There's one last little tidbit i might try to snag late Saturday night for the Ted page.
And Gingerman, congrats on the Japanese F13 Part 1. I saw you had laid claim and stayed back. SOOOOOO glad you got it.
CHEERS!

Bid early, and bid my max max absolute max.....they almost took it from me!
I am thrilled I got it! Thank you
I am actually getting ready to update my site with it, and post it in the recent thread.

Hi there. The TED/BRUDE Day will HAVE to wait until Sunday at the earliest. So, in the mean time, here's a day that I think will appeal to...ARI!
Here's some new things:
ASTRO ZOMBIES:
I already had the re-release poster (which is very cool, with an Astro Zombie with a long machete going after a girl), but never dreamed i'd someday get this wild first release poster. Psycho-tronically groovy, baby! Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Astro%20Zombies_zpsn6wbyr9w.jpg)
THE INVISIBLE BOY (Early 70s Re-release):
Yes, it's a "kiddie matinee" poster for a re-release...but it still features Robbie the Robot.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Invisible%20Boy%20re-release_zpszinm6nlv.jpg)
MATANGO-ATTACK OF THE MUSHROOM PEOPLE (Italian):
Zowie! I LOVED (and was weirded out by) this movie as a kid...kind of like a strange Japanese GILLIGAN'S ISLAND with a gruesome twist. I looked for a US one sheet for years before I realized the film had gone straight to TV here...and there was no theatrical release. Imagine my pleasant surprise when i came across this Italian poster. Mamma Mia! What a find.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Matango%20Attack%20of%20the%20Mushroom%20People%20Italian_zpspd8tiorz.jpg)
TESTIMONY (Ghana):
Yep, i got myself a second Ghana poster. For some reason though, i'm just not as passionate about this one as i was about my first one... But it's still awesomely awful yet primitively cool. But what is "Testimony"? Never heard of it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/testimony_zpshsb4yvzs.jpg)
NEKROMANTIK (German):
Oh my stars! This is a find. This is a German poster for the bizzare-O German flick about a girl who has an affair with a corpse. Really!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Nekromantik_zpsdp2xsbjl.jpg)
DERANGED:
Speaking of necrophilia...this is the one sheet for DERANGED, one of the many horror flicks (PSYCHO, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, THREE ON A MEATHOOK, and the Buffalo Bill character from SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) that was based on Ed Gein...but this one comes closest to the real story.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Deranged_zpsv8w2wxc5.jpg)
THE SLASHER:
I had NEVER heard of this when i ran across this. Cool yet dated graphics---with a very young Joan Collins! Ha! I dig it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Slasher_zpsc6vyz0ti.jpg)
ISLAND OF THE DOOMED:
I actually already have a copy of this poster...one of my earliest posters actually. My original one is not in the best of shape...so this is an upgrade version. I've NEVER seen this film, but just ordered an Elvira Movie Macabra disk that has it on it. I'll never forget the clutching horror, i'm sure. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Island%20of%20the%20Doomed_zps4nuzrcuf.jpg)
THE WIZARD OF OZ (British Quad re-release):
OZ-some! This is kind of a cool re-release poster for the BFI WIZARD OF OZ re-release in England a few years back. Very colorful and who doesn't like OZ???
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Oz%20quad_zps0kzh5yzb.jpg)
FREAKS and DEVIL DOLL (British quad re-release combo):
Wow! FREAKS is impossible to get any paper on...except maybe for this nifty 2002 British quad re-release (with co-feature DEVIL DOLL!!) Freaky baby! I'll take it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Fraeaks%20devil%20doll%20quad%20R%202002_zpslwdcjq99.jpg)
And now, off to bed with me. I worked all day, my feet stink and I'm tired.
CHEERS!
-
damn I want the NEKROMANTIK, haha
well done.
-
Those Ghana posters are right up your alley... Well done on your second acquisition! thumbsup.gif
-
Hey..the BFI are just wonderful posters. I might just be the only person on this planet that is not keen on that film (Wizard of oz) but the poster is mighty nice!!
Shawn....I never thought I will say this : loooooove that astro zombie
-
Wicked jealous of the astro zombies. the ghana poster is very interesting too. good stuff as usual happy1

LOVE HAPPY (Spanish):
...except for THIS Spanish poster as well! I am pretty sure I have LOVE HAPPY, but (gasp!) I have never seen it. In fact, i don't think I've ever seen a complete Marx brothers movie...just bits and pieces. Saw this Spanish poster, reasonably priced and snapped it up.

See you next time! Happy Hannukah if that's your thing.
CHEERS!
wowowowowow I am so touched! Hehe. Nice posters... !! Love that Jano's some like it hot. You really need to start a Jano's spanish posters thread !
Ps. I want a report about the film.
Ps2 hope you realise you have to watch it ...
Ps3 i mean...you MUSt watch it
SOOOOOON!!!

Hi there. Here is another quickie post... (Ted, i am still looking at one that i think you will appreciate the most tomorrow.)
First, that interview about my poster collecting experience that was used to promote the new poster book disappeared (other stuff is there now). Luckily, i tracked it down. Here is the corrected link:
http://scoop.previewsworld.com/Home/4/1/73/1017?articleID=171803
And now to say hello to everyone...
ARI, glad you dig the NEKROMANTIK. My surprise poster for you is here and i'll send it soon (probably AFTER the holidays). It's NOT a NEKROMANTIK...sorry. It's NOT even a horror movie. Ha! You'll see what it is eventually...
STEVE: You like the Ghana poster, huh? It's kind of cool...but I favor my other one, i think. Of course, you are always partial to your first. Thanks!
ROSA: Glad you dig the ASTRO ZOMBIES and agree that the BFI quads are nice (and a great way to get paper on classic flicks),,,but what?? Holy Shock-a-rama, Batman! Rosa is not keen on THE WIZARD OF OZ??? Amazing and baffling.
e: Thanks for digging the ASTRO ZOMBIES and GHANA poster. What have you been tracking down lately?
Anyway, here's 10 more new ones (to me). I've only got a few posts left... At the beginning of the year I am planning on taking the year more or less off (allowing myself only one visit a month). It's a plan to A) save money and B) focus on "possible dreams" bucket list posters. I'll explain more later.
Anyway--on with the posters:
PIRANHA 3D (Quad):
I dig my JAWS ripoffs. I also dig my gimmick/3D flicks. While i already have the US one sheet, it was very different than this quad (which was inexpensive). SOLD! (And i'm sure Steve will notice the bikini top in the water... Ha!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Piranha%203D%20quad_zpsfzp5yaih.jpg)
PIRANHA 3DD (Quad):
Event though i was fortunate enough to "win" Crazy Vick's copy of the one sheet for PIRANHA 3DD in an emovie auction not too long back, i came upon this quad (almost identical to the one sheet) when i found the PIRANHA 3D quad. So--to have the pair in quad form (since i have a pair in one sheet form), i went for it. I still have not seen the movie though. i have it on Blu Ray 3D, but need the bluray 3D player and a 3d TV first. Argh!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Piranha%203DD%20quad_zpsxdfyaoxd.jpg)
THE TRIUMPH OF HERCULES (Spanish):
Not long ago, i accidentally bought three pressbooks that i mistook for posters (I was dealing with an italian dealer. OOPS! My bad.). The pressbook for this was among them, so when i came across the poster...which was cheap-ish...I just got it. I dig my Hercules movies.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Triumph%20of%20Hercules%20spanish_zpsfsg8x0vs.jpg)
GLADIATOR OF ROME (aka EL RETURNO DE MACISTE) (Spanish):
Another "Hercules" movie (well, without Hercules---but i call all of these type of flicks "Hercules movies"). Great depiction of Gordon Scott (the first movie Tarzan in color) as Maciste or whoever the GLADIATOR OF ROME translated into. But with his legs the way they are, it almost looks like he has to go to the bathroom. I don't suppose there are pee breaks in battle?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gladiator%20of%20Rome%20aka%20El%20Retorno%20de%20Maciste_zpsjjfip2tl.jpg)
JUNGLE DRUMS:
I already have a copy of this poster...and it's just gorgeous! When i saw another one for very little cash, i snapped it up (Argh! Why do i do that?). This serial poster stars the LONE RANGER Clay(ton) Moore and TV's original Lois Lane (first season) Phyllis Coates
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Jungle%20Drums%20of%20Africa_zpsv2rlgrr8.jpg)
JUNGLE HEADHUNTERS:
Zowie! SEE HUMAN HEADS SHRUNK TO THE SIZE OF BASEBALLS!?! Who wouldn't want a poster like this in their living room? I'm not sure what this movie is...a drama or documentary, but...wow! what wonderful poster art (and from the wholesome 1950s? Really? AMAZING!).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Jungle%20Headhunters_zpse3wdmjfp.jpg)
INTO THE STORM (Quad):
Picked up this quad of the recent 3D disaster flick when i got the PIRANHA duo.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Into%20the%20Storm%20quad_zpsk7aoiji6.jpg)
NIGHT OF A THOUSAND CATS (Spanish):
This is an awful movie--but also very funny if you are in the right mood, because it is sooooo STUPID. Ha! A rich guy flies around in a helicopter picking up women (in the park, from their apartment terraces, etc.) in the helicopter and then takes them back to his home in the jungle (!!). His house is this big, ancient stone ruins. (!?!) Hugo Stiglitz never struck me as much of a ladies man (must be the helicopter?), but he stars...as the demented killer. Once he has sex with the women, he kills them, keeps their heads in big glass jars...and feeds the rest of them to these feral stray cats he keeps trapped in this pit room in his house. WTF!? The US poster is much better, but I saw this Spanish one and thought I'd pick it up.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Night%20of%20a%201000%20Cats%20Spanish_zpsfruddosb.jpg)
LADY FRANKENSTEIN (Belgian):
Cheesy and sleazy---but could have been so much better--is the Belgian poster for LADY FRANKENSTEIN. Nice use of color. No, this is not the one that was recently sold on emovie...but i got it for just about the same price, maybe a tad cheaper?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Lady%20Frankenstein%20Belgian_zpsnvxywz6x.jpg)
ANGST (German):
Last poster for today...and i have NO IDEA what ANGST is. I HOPE it's a movie poster though. i got this from the same German dealer i got the NEKROMANTIK poster from. Wild images...looks like it would be an interesting flick.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/ANGST_zpsx1rdfwdc.jpg)
And that was it... Ten super quick-o's! Now I really must dash off!
CHEERS!
-
PS I almost didn't see you sneak that reply in Rosa! Ha!
Glad you liked the poster post that reminded me of you...and YES, i will watch the movie soon (probably after the holidays).
CHEERS!
-
Nice ones.
The sequel, Piranha 3DD is not on the same level as the first, IMO, but "The Hoff", etc. in 3DD are a real hoot.
Into the Storm is a neat flick, with cool cinematography and effects. Highly recommended on 3D, as well as Piranha 3DD, and of course Piranha 3D. 8)
-
another nice batch.
e: Thanks for digging the ASTRO ZOMBIES and GHANA poster. What have you been tracking down lately?
A bit of the same ol' same ol', Dario Argento posters, etc. oh and one really exciting poster :) I'll probably post a little update around christmas when I have a few days off.
-
Okay, here is the Ted-inspired post (well, the things towards the top are Ted-esque). Whoo hoo. The count down is on...for not only my final poster post of the year, but before I severely cut back on poster buying and APF time.
I'm writing this early with the hopes of posting it in the wee hours of the morning (California time) if/when I score that last Ted-esque item I'm hoping for... I apologize now if you visited and I didn't acknowledge you....
But let's say hello to who i know for sure came by...
NEO! Glad to see you, as always.I did see PIRANHA 3D and INTO THE STORM in 3D...just have not seen PIRANHA 3DD. Darn it all. it didn't play anywhere near me. ARGH!
e: Argento and one super special poster???? Oooooooo... It sounds delightful. i can NOT wait.
Okay--time for the Poster Show!!!
KING KONG (Spanish re-release):
Ooooo here is the iconic KING KONG poster image (that, I don't think was ever used as a US poster for release...even though everyone seems to think it was) on a Spanish language re-release poster. Let's give it up for the big ape.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l500%2013_zps7oulanhq.jpg)
KING KONG (German re-release)
AGAIN--the 8th Wonder of the World! Here is a German re-release for KING KONG (which looks like it is called KING KONG AND THE WHITE WOMAN...or something like that...in Germany. ha!). Not the best KONG poster ever..but still KONG!!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/KING%20KONG%20German_zps9ulrvenr.jpg)
KING KONG ESCAPES (Italian):
If you are reading this, it means that i DID score my last minute KONG addition in a late-night auction. UGH! (I'm probably super tired). This is the Italian poster for KING KONG ESCAPES. Not the most exciting sequel not the most exciting poster---but it's still KONG!!!!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/King%20Kong%20Escapes%20Italian_zpsxxqba1my.jpg)
KING KONG (Italian re-release):
Here is my biggest KONG coup since the summer...the Italian 1960s re-release poster. Fabulous! LOVE the color in this... This is NOT the one that was recently on eMovie. That one went for big bucks. This cost less than half of that one--thank goodness--and it was great to get it. (This was the 2nd favorite KONG after my 1956 re-release. LOVE IT!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/King%20Kong%20R1966%20Italian%20white%20logo_zpstwgn3dsh.jpg)
HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (British quad 1950s re-release):
This is not the one that sold on Heritage Auctions. I thought I had WON that one for some reason, but when the auction ended, it was NOT me that had won it. OOPS! Almost immediately afterwards i noticed this one for sale overseas. It seemed to be the same price., SOLD! It was only when i went to pay for it that i realized my blunder. While the euro is pretty much equalt to a dollar, this poster's price was in pounds...which meant I had to cough up about $100 MORE that the Heritage poster went for. ARGH! So not cool...but cool-ish poster.

THE NEW ADVENTURES OF TARZAN:
OH MY STARS!!!! I can not believe that i have a TARZAN poster from the silent era! Okay--i KNOW there were talkies/sound in 1935 (Hello? KING KONG was 1933 and that is all over this post). But THE NEW ADVENTURES OF TARZAN was first a silent serial...and then edited down for a silent feature, which this poster is for. Hermann Brix (who later changed his name to Bruce Bennett and had a very nice Hollywood career) stars. This isn't as exciting as an Elmo Lincoln TARZAN, for sure...but the oldest I've had to this point was one of the Lesser (as in Sol Lesser) Tarzan re-releases, TARZAN'S DESERT MYSTERY, which was one of the final (of 12) Tarzan's Johnny Weissmuller did. Golly.

VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED and CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED (re-release combo):
Sorry to have to use an eMovie picture (not my poster), but the dealer i am buying this from directly didn't send me a picture. i know what it looks like and i totally trust his near mint/uniused description as I have dealt with him many times before. I don't have the one sheet for either movie---so this double feature re-release is an awesome find. YIPPIE! Creepy movies with creepier kids. Beware their stare!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/village_of_the_damned_and_children_of_the_damned_JM02336_L_zpsrfqbrcfr.jpg)
RE-ANIMATOR:
Wow! I have wanted one of these for a long while. i have the other poster version (photo version)--but have wanted this cool art style one for a long while. it's harder to find. cool poster for a cool movie.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/reanimator%20art%20style_zpsvzwhkpkr.jpg)
BARON BLOOD:
I've never seen the movie, but the poster has always intrigued me. Is this film any good? It's Mario Bava so it has to at least be visually stunning. Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Baron%20blood_zpskijhkdkc.jpg)
THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO
Oh my stars! The poster for the supermarionation full-length feature is in the mail, heading my way, even as i write this. This is a dream come true. And, yes, the THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO...and I need to GO---to the bathroom and to bed!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_3899%202_zpsig8zljb3.jpg)
Good night!

KING KONG (Spanish re-release):
Ooooo here is the iconic KING KONG poster image (that, I don't think was ever used as a US poster for release...even though everyone seems to think it was) on a Spanish language re-release poster. Let's give it up for the big ape.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l500%2013_zps7oulanhq.jpg)
It is on the ultra-rare 1938 re-release one-sheet, and then was used for the Portal Publication poster in the 1960s.
-
notworthy.gif Awwww... Thank you, Bruce! I have never actually seen the 1938 re-release poster then. Just the commercial print that keeps popping up. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! notworthy.gif
-
Big congrats on the Italian rerelease you scored for half price thumbsup.gif
-
Hello. I'm back...posting 10 more recent acquisitions. Besides this post, I think i have enough for about 2 or 3 more posts. Once they're are all posted, that's it for the year. And I'll only be back occasionally next year.
Steve--thanks for the visit and the interesting chit-chat we pm-ed each other. VERY interesting. THANK YOU.
KING KONG VS GODZILLA (Italian):
Drat it all. This was supposed to be in the post earlier this morning. Grrr. When I stumbled on this poster (the third different one , i think, with this same title...but i liked this opne the best), I thought it must be a retitling. THE TRIUMPH OF KING KONG? Never heard of it. imagine my surprise when i discovered it was actually KING KONG VS GODZILLA! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/KING%20KONG%20VS%20GODZILLA%20Italian_zpskg93tplt.jpg)
SUSPIRIA (Spanish):
Another groovy SUSPIRIA poster. Still dig the US one sheet best, but anything SUSPIRIA is SUSPIRIAstic!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Suspiria%20spanish_zpsgo0fe2sn.jpg)
TRAUMA (Italian):
I've not seen this flick yet (what else is new?), but it was an Italian Argento...THUMBS UP!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Trauma%20Italian_zpsi4sucqo7.jpg)
BARBARIAN MASTER (Italian):
I had no idea what this was when i bought. i still don't knoiw what it is now that i found the US title. i bought this poster because it made me laugh out loud. Check out the molten-hot sword rising from the bowl...or maybe from his crotch? Ha! How phallic can you get? TOO funny. Apparently this is some 80s CONAN wannabe.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Barbarian%20Master%20Italian_zpsmrc2fdff.jpg)
FRIDAY THE 13TH (remake British quad):
About the only thing i can say that was positive about the remake of FRIDAY THE 13TH was that it had a cool poster. Not as cool as the original, but better than say... part 2, 3, 4, or 5. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/FRIDAY%20THE%2013th%20quad_zpsrx3x2lss.jpg)
HORROR EXPRESS:
This was kind of an oops! I had just been contemplating an Italian HORROR EXPRESS when a dealer sent me a list of items he had for sale. This guy is reputable and I trust his grading. The only thing is--there were no pictures available. I saw HORROR EXPRESS very reasonably priced and snatched it up...and then I realized (snore) this was the boring reddish US poster and NOT the cool Italian poster I had been (evil) eyeing. Waaagh!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Horror%20Express_zpss1co55no.jpg)
HORROR EXPRESS (Italian):
So, darn it all, I had to go back and buy the Italian version as well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Horror%20Express%20Italian_zpsqmugb6kj.jpg)
SLEEPING BEAUTY (French re-release):
My 2nd (and probably final) poster ever for Disney's SLEEPING BEAUTY. Again, as with the other US one sheet for the film i got, why does Prince Erik get his self on there twice, when the titular start girl only gets on the poster once? Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/french_1p_sleeping_beauty_R80s_SD03968_T_zpsezxbhwxn.jpg)
THE OMEN (Czech):
Oooooo I wanted this for a while. It will make a nice companion piece to my US and Turkish OMEN posters!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/czech_23x33_omen_SD04017_T_zps4a3vahfy.jpg)
SOCIETY (Italian):
Last poster for the evening (good, because i need to get to bed. i have to be up at 5 am for work in the morning. Blah!) is the Italian poster for the cult horror flick SOCIETY. Different art (I think i prefer the US one...but I have NOT been able to get one.)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Society%20Italian_zps7qbwpmkn.jpg)
Okay---i know it's early, but it's pumpkin time for me.
Good night!
-
So you're the one that nabbed that Spanish Suspiria :P. Great stuff, particularly the Argento posters of course. Unfortunately Trauma really marks Argento's decline in my opinion, I honestly kind of have a love/hate relationship with the movie. It's worth a watch anyways.
-
Wow Shawn. Nice batch once again. All the King Kongs are great. Your collection is now the ninth world wonder. I just rewatched King Kong from 2005 last night. Didnt remember most of the scenes. 3hrs long but Kong fighting scenes were great to see again. I forgot all about the Dinosaurs too. Any ways I hope you are enjoying everything and take a break so everyone else can find stuff too. You are buying it all! -jason
-
Congrats on winning that Czech Omen!!!!! P.S. you suck...that is all! haha
-
MATANGO-ATTACK OF THE MUSHROOM PEOPLE (Italian):
Zowie! I LOVED (and was weirded out by) this movie as a kid...kind of like a strange Japanese GILLIGAN'S ISLAND with a gruesome twist. I looked for a US one sheet for years before I realized the film had gone straight to TV here...and there was no theatrical release. Imagine my pleasant surprise when i came across this Italian poster. Mamma Mia! What a find.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Matango%20Attack%20of%20the%20Mushroom%20People%20Italian_zpspd8tiorz.jpg)
No offense to Godzilla and his kaiju brethren, but this film is my favorite from Toho and Ishiro Honda.
Weirded me out as a kid also.
imbecile.gif
-
ANGST (German):
Last poster for today...and i have NO IDEA what ANGST is. I HOPE it's a movie poster though. i got this from the same German dealer i got the NEKROMANTIK poster from. Wild images...looks like it would be an interesting flick.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/ANGST_zpsx1rdfwdc.jpg)
Really like the look of this one, Shawn.
Very cool.
I did some research. Yes, its a film called Fiend (1980).
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080730/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_6 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080730/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_6)
Interestingly enough, it co-stars George Stover, the creator of two superb horror fanzines back in the day -- Black Oracle and Cinemacabre.
Black Oracle was a very small mini-fanzine (maybe 3"x5"). I still have copies of them somewhere around here... probably under that stack of bodies in the corner....
I never met George, but I did buy some of his movie posters through the mail.
That was a lifetime ago, before they put this internet thingy on all these computers.
Wow... how times have changed.
imbecile.gif
Stover, like his peers Gary Svehla of Gore Creatures and Fred Clarke of Cinefantastique, were crazy monster-movie poster collectors and reputable guys to buy from. They lived and breathed the psychotronic scene. They researched the films, they wrote some of the best articles I have ever read about the genre and, they sold their own posters cheap and well-packaged.
Ahhhh... those were the days.....
But I digress...
Thanks for letting me wax nostalgic.
Your posters bring it out in me.
cheers
-
Post time. I have 10 more to share...then only enough for 2 more full posts after that (plus maybe a mini-post., I have slowed way down, but keep buying. You can't expect me to just go cold turkey, can you?)
Quick hellos (I gotta get some more Christmas shopping/etc done. Yikes!):
e: Yes, i snagged the Spanish SUSPIRIA. Sorry. I didn't know you were watching otherwise i'd have left it. i promise not to buy any more Argento for a long, LONG time.
JASON: Glad you like the KONGs. And, I agree, the 2005 KONG was pretty great (but I still prefer the original). I am taking a break by the end of the year...but while it may seem like I am buying everything (ha!)...it still feels like everyone else is buying everything out from under me! I'm not quite done...but more or less done. Ha!
GINGERMAN: Don't even get after me about the Czech OMEN as i totally wanted the Japanese B2 FRIDAY THE 13th...but saw you were bidding on it, so i stood down. Did you bid on the OMEN as well? i didn't see you on it when i bid. Sorry. You can have the next one.
TED: Super glad you liked (and understood about ) the MATANGO and zowie---thanks for the info on FIEND/ANGST. I looked it up on the link. I may need to see it now. THANKS!!!!
And now, on to the Shock-A-Rama Poster Show!
HERCULES THE INVINCIBLE (Italian):
You know i love my Hercules movies... Clearly, this flick has come towards the end of the Sword & Sandal era. They didn't even bother to commission an artist for the poster--just stuck some photos on and called it good.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Hercules%20the%20Invincible%20Italian_zps0itdpjaa.jpg)
MACISTE IN THE LAND OF THE CYCLOPS (Italian):
Another that I believe came towards the end of the genre's popularity. The poster is okay---but I am sure the lead actor's name is Gordon Mitchell...NOT Mitchell Gordon. Did they bother to fix it? Nope. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Maciste%20in%20the%20Land%20of%20the%20Cyclops%20Italian_zpsy9gq4mhh.jpg)
SAMSON AND HIS MIGHTY CHALLENGE (Italian):
This is brilliant on the part of the Italian filmmakers...getting the 4 mightiest heroes of the peplum genre together; Hercules, Samson, Maciste and Ursus. However, curiously, when it was imported to the US, only ONE of the four was highlighted (or mentioned) in the title--just SAMSON. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Samson%20and%20his%20Mighty%20Challenge%20Italian_zpsuavo5jn5.jpg)
URSUS IN THE LAND OF FIRE (Italian):
Decent art on this poster---although the depiction of Ursus looks NOTHING like blonde star Ed Fury.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Ursus%20in%20the%20Land%20of%20Fire_zpsqkqeja7t.jpg)
THE LOVES OF HERCULES (Italian):
This is the most curious poster of all... Not only is star Mickey Hargitay's first name misspelled (perhaps Micke is the Italian version of Mickey?), but the real star of the film, Jayne Mansfield (who plays two roles!) is NOT even mentioned! Yowza! I bet her agent was pissed.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Loves%20of%20Hercules%20Italian_zps6juq0me7.jpg)
DYNASTY (Italian):
Not a sword & sandal flick, but i am a sucker for 3D/gimmicks and couldn't NOT get this poster. Similar to the US version, but different artwork trying to convey the 3D effect in poster form. Cool.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Dynasty%20Italian_zpsbgxtg0dq.jpg)
THE HUMANOID (Italian):
I've never seen this sci-fi flick starring Richard "Jaws" Kiel, but scored the poster pretty darn cheap. I think i might need to track this flick down...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Humanoid%20Italian_zpsdjgz3vho.jpg)
ALICE IN WONDERLAND (Italian):
Ha! I was sort of stunned when i stumbled on this Italian poster for the adult version of ALICE IN WONDERLAND from the 1970s. Ha! Even our cheesy, low-budget crap gets imported too, apparently. Different art than ours...something for Steve to enjoy...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Alice%20in%20Wonderland%20X%20Italian_zpsfx3pbpcd.jpg)
EVIL LAUGH:
This is not my poster (hence the watermark), just an example. Picked it up cheap. I must have missed this in the 80s. Never heard of it--but kind of cool graphics.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/evil%20laugh_zpsgfpcn4pv.jpg)
BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE (Italian):
I am not familiar with this movie at all...but it's an Italian seggittone (or something like that)...a 1F (or whatever would pass for a 1F if there were such a thing.)
And that's if for now. Very few poster shows left... Oh my stars!
Stay tuned!
CHEERS!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Blood%20of%20the%20Vampire_zpsjotmaoxf.jpg)
-
e: Yes, i snagged the Spanish SUSPIRIA. Sorry. I didn't know you were watching otherwise i'd have left it. i promise not to buy any more Argento for a long, LONG time.
Ha, no worries those pop up fairly often.
I like that blood of the vampire soggettone, never seen the movie either but it looks odd from that poster.
It's gonna be a little sad around here with less frequent shock-a-rama poster shows that's for sure.
-
Okay, here is the Ted-inspired post (well, the things towards the top are Ted-esque).
KING KONG (Spanish re-release):
Ooooo here is the iconic KING KONG poster image (that, I don't think was ever used as a US poster for release...even though everyone seems to think it was) on a Spanish language re-release poster. Let's give it up for the big ape.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l500%2013_zps7oulanhq.jpg)
KING KONG (German re-release)
AGAIN--the 8th Wonder of the World! Here is a German re-release for KING KONG (which looks like it is called KING KONG AND THE WHITE WOMAN...or something like that...in Germany. ha!). Not the best KONG poster ever..but still KONG!!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/KING%20KONG%20German_zps9ulrvenr.jpg)
KING KONG ESCAPES (Italian):
If you are reading this, it means that i DID score my last minute KONG addition in a late-night auction. UGH! (I'm probably super tired). This is the Italian poster for KING KONG ESCAPES. Not the most exciting sequel not the most exciting poster---but it's still KONG!!!!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/King%20Kong%20Escapes%20Italian_zpsxxqba1my.jpg)
KING KONG (Italian re-release):
Here is my biggest KONG coup since the summer...the Italian 1960s re-release poster. Fabulous! LOVE the color in this... This is NOT the one that was recently on eMovie. That one went for big bucks. This cost less than half of that one--thank goodness--and it was great to get it. (This was the 2nd favorite KONG after my 1956 re-release. LOVE IT!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/King%20Kong%20R1966%20Italian%20white%20logo_zpstwgn3dsh.jpg)
Jeezum crow...this Monster A Go-Go movie-poster avalanche has me running a few days behind you, man.
These Kongs are all too awesome for words...
Maybe 'Wowee-kazowee!' sums it up best?
imbecile.gif
-
Shawn knows how to put a collection together!!! :D
-
Okay...we are getting down to the nitty gritty. After this, i have enough poster for 1 more full post and then a partial post...unless i buy more. Argh. I'm trying to save the best for last so this grouping of 10 will have not be the most exciting.
Rosa, you are sweet. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello.
Ted: So glad you like the KONG stuff. Forget Elvis, Kong is the KING!
e: Saw the PR you wanted. Yikes! Pricey! Maybe you'll find a cheaper one in the elsewhere I directed to. GOOD LOOK whatever you do.
And now, on to the SHOCK-A-RAMA Poster Show:
SABU AND THE MAGIC RING:
I came across this and was enchanted with the fantasy quality of the poster. It set me back a whole $5.50. Sure it has some obvious issues (see the corner), but it doesn't ;look to bad. How fun.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/SABU%20AND%20THE%20MAGIC%20RING_zpswvpreci9.jpg)
THE NANNY:
From the same dealer, this one set me back $5. Zowie! Upping my later Bette Davis poster quota. I've never seen this, but she plays a nanny from Hell, right? Sounds like a hoot!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/THE%20NANNY_zpskatwgj3k.jpg)
FRIDAY THE 13TH (Japanese B2):
Gingerman snagged the one on emovie a while back---but i tracked this one down. I needed it to go with my B2 PART 2 and PART 3. This will probably be the last Japanese poster I buy as I am focusing on my bucket list in 2016. But I got one---yippie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Friday%20the%2013th%20Japanese%20B2_zps9qfmqelx.jpg)
RAIDERS OF THE LIVING DEAD:
This is such a crappy movie and the poster is a dime a dozen. i probably already have one, but just to be sure i snagged one now. Crap or not, it's still a zombie flick--sort of.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/raiders_of_the_living_dead_ES01126_L_zpswlrgjlua.jpg)
SURVIVE (German):
I stumbled upon this Germ,an poster for the exploitation classic "SURVIVE". It's the most graphic poster for the film i've seen... (well, it's not THAT graphic, but...) and I picked it up for under $15 (including shipping). Sale-a-rama!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Survive%20German_zpsvyq8jbri.jpg)
THE CRIME OF DAVID LEVENSTEIN (Italian 2F):
I had no idea what this was when i picked it up as i don't speak Italian. It looked like a nazisploitation flick (well, doesn't it?)...and it apparently kind of is, but came before the nazisploitation genre kicked into gear. THE CRIME OF DAVID LEVENSTEIN sounds like it was nazisploitation meets DEATH WISH. Levenstein is [picked out as a Jew and sent to a concentration camp. he survives and, years later, goes after those who tormented him and his family in the camps!!! Actually, it sounds kind of good... Anyway, i really dig the artwork here. Very nice work.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Vivere%20per%20Uccidere%20Italian_zps0on9exac.jpg)
THE BAD SEED:
Oooo the all-time original killer kid classic. I met Patty McCormack who played Rhoda Penmark. NOW i have the poster. AWESOME! (And I didn't have to knock anyone off to get it. Ha!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_3898%202_zpsuzx0anpu.jpg)
UNKNOWN TERROR:
Old B-Movie poster time. I've never seen this---looks like it was typical low budget drive-in crap? Whoo hoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/UNKNOWN%20TERROR_zps3fvxy070.jpg)
VENGEANCE OF SHE:
I may already have this---but certainly do NOT have the Ursula Andress SHE (or the original silent classic poster either). I've never seen any of the SHE flicks...but really feel i should. They're quasi-classics, right?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Vengeance%20if%20SHE_zpsgdtuxoun.jpg)
KISS THEM FOR ME:
Never saw this either, but it's JAYNE MANSFIELD...from her A-list star days (which were o' so short...). Carey Grant ius in this too. Yowza!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Kiss%20Them%20For%20Me_zps9unnvwoe.jpg)
FIRST MEN IN THE MOON:
Hooray! Years ago i got the alternate poster (without realizing it was the alternate poster after spending big bucks on it) but really wanted this version with the cool action-packed scenes from the film added in. Love it. And DYNAMATION!!!! I'm such a gimmick whore.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/First%20Men%20In%20The%20Moon_zpsrsmjjhbi.jpg)
Okay...we are down to only 1 full post and a fraction of another... and less than 10 days left of 2015.
Happy holidays!
Cheers!
-
two hammer posters, I am impressed.
Love SURVIVE also.
oh I love them all.
-
I am very much taken by the First Man in the Moon. I think it has to be one of these posters which just keeps you going, so much to look at and very colourful. Great one Shawn, thank you for sharing!!!
-
Hi there. This is it...the last FULL post of 10 posters. I have enough after this for one last partial post (unless i pick up a few more between now and whenever i post the last post for the year---before i cut back to monthly updates.only. EEK!
ARI---Thanks for stopping by. Golly, I didn't even realize I had posted 2 HAMMER posters until you mentioned them. I know I have one in this post, but didn't realize that THE NANNY and VENGEANCE OF SHE were Hammer films.(I LOOKED at the posters but didn't READ them. Ha!)
ROSA---Yes, that version of the MOON poster does have a lot going on in it--which is why, when I realized I'd bought the other (dull) version years ago, I have been trying to get this one. Love it. And make sure you look closely at the first poster for today's post. Ha!
Let's see. What do i have this time:
THE VENGEANCE OF DR MABUSE (Spanish):
I really dig the art on this. it's really the only reason i bought it. It turns out that it's a Jano poster. Also note that it was produced by our own Rosa's film company. (Hee hee). I know virtually nothing about this flick, other than it;'s another early Jess Franco and that it utilizes the Dr, Mabuse character that had been around for a while before this flick.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Vengeance%20of%20Dr.%20Mabuse_zpsqjinjxue.jpg)
THE HOUSE THE SCREAMED (Italian):
Another poster i had no idea what it was, but I picked it up for the art. Nice work. The film itself has a nice atmosphere, but the scares are not there by today's standards. But the ending was totally ripped off by a popular grindhouse flick years later.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/House%20that%20Screamed%20italian_zpsuquxzd0u.jpg)
SHOCK aka BEYOND THE DOOR 2 (Italian):
Mario Bava's last flick. It's interesting, but not necessarily his best work. I have the BEYOND THE DOOR 2 one sheet, but i really wish they'd made a poster of the ad slick instead of what they ended up using for the one sheet. This original Italian poster has a nice creepy yet mysterious dread to it I dig it...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Shock%20Italian_zpsfvequxlx.jpg)
GAPPA (Italian):
GIANT MONSTER FLICK!!! Need i say more? Ha! Pretty groovy poster too.. This cost me $11. Bargains-a-go-go always welcome at Christmas time!!! Thank you Santa!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/GAPPA_zps6lfldfoo.jpg)
FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN
I've never really seen the Hammer FRANKENSTEIN series. I have seen the DRACULA films and some other stuff---but not the FRANKENSTEINS. I saw this and bid...and left it to chance. I won surprisingly.,
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Frankenstein%20Created%20Woman_zpspjyehizb.jpg)
OLGA'S HOUSE OF SHAME:
My stars. The OLGA series has been a big part of my poster year. There's the whole ordeal of the THREE copies of the first poster in the series, WHITE SLAVES OF CHINATOWN. I also picked up poster #4 in the series, MME. OLGA'S MASSAGE PARLOR. I already had a copy of this, my favorite title and poster in the series, OLGA'S HOUSE OF SHAME, but my copy had a corner all but torn off. i needed a new copy. The one shown is not the new one, but my new copy is in fab-o-rama shape...NM! Whoo hoo! now i just need OLGA'S GIRLS (and maybe--but I might already have it--OLGA'S DANCE HALL GIRLS...which is the last film of the series, but also my favorite.).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/olgas_house_of_shame_zpsfc71u3ue.jpg)
HERCULES:
Believe it or not, this was a bucket list title---the 1959 Steve reeves HERCULES poster, the movie that started the whole crazy peplum genre. The films have al;l but been forgotten today---and the video copies available are pretty awful, but some of the better films of the genre are a real treat to watch (others are real snore-inducers). Finally though--the first HERCULES one sheet! Yahoo.,

ZOMBIES OF MORA TAU:
I have never seen this flick and know nothing about it, but have seen this 50s (?) poster swim into my sphere of vision a few times---and have been curious. Early zombie movies are always interesting (but not always good). Love the vintage look of the poster (well, it IS vintage. Ha!) How groovy ghoulie wonderful!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/zombies_of_mora_tau_WC02442_T_zpsxmizf79y.jpg)
NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST:
EEEK! Here's is another wild and fab drive-in horror flick poster. No, I have not seen this either (for such a movie addict, how do i NOT see so many movies?), but I'd have been to the theater opening week for sure with this blood-drenched poster luring me in! Yowza!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Night%20of%20the%20Blood%20Beast_zps57cdqxak.jpg)
EATEN ALIVE (British quad):
Wow! Look at this cool quad. i love the shocking art work and the way they convey the action seemingly coming off of the screen. Unfortunately the artwork is rather tame--relying on the title to supply the real horror...but it's still nifty. This is not my actual poster--but a great example to share. Not the best cannibal movie ever made--but a mighty tasty quad to be sure. Yum!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Eaten%20Alive%20quad_zpseej83stn.jpg)
And that's today's post. As it stands, as i write this, i only have 6 more posters left to share. (Of course, there's an auction tonight, and Thursday,,,and Sunday there are several! Ha!) Let's see what happens.
Merry Christmas! i hope Santa is good to you and you get that FRANKENSTEIN 6-sheet poster you've been dreaming about. Ha!
(Speaking of Christmas, I've got to go and be one of those crazy people who are doing things at the last minute... UGH!)
CHEERS!

e: Saw the PR you wanted. Yikes! Pricey! Maybe you'll find a cheaper one in the elsewhere I directed to. GOOD LOOK whatever you do.
Yeah...I really contemplated going higher but in the end decided it was better not to. Also I totally overlooked that paper loss in the middle, and while EMP may still consider it in very good condition, that paper loss would've bothered me. Anyway I've already found a few other things with your help, so it all worked out in the end anyway.
Man so the shock-a-rama poster show is winding down, a little sad about it but hey if there's going to be more of your bucket list posters being posted than I'm certainly intrigued!
My favorites from these last two posts are The House that Screamed(I have the U.S one sheet but this Italian version is superior I think), Shock(yet again another example of our similar tastes...hint hint), Friday the 13th, and Olga's House of Shame.
cheers
-
I'm with e... the show must go on! bed1
-
GINGERMAN: Don't even get after me about the Czech OMEN as i totally wanted the Japanese B2 FRIDAY THE 13th...but saw you were bidding on it, so i stood down. Did you bid on the OMEN as well? i didn't see you on it when i bid. Sorry. You can have the next one.
I was just giving you a bit of grief my friend! ;D I see you found a Friday the 13th B2! Congrats. Now I need to find that Czech Omen. I also got your message, I scanned over it. I will read it in more depth shortly! You are always welcome to email me should you find anything next year you want to share. I wish you the best on your list, and hope you do not leave us completely.
-
Okay---this could be it. This could be the LAST Shock-a-rama poster show of the year. There are auctions Thursday (but I work), Sunday, and in to next week. If I get something, i suppose i can do another quick post---or wait until my once-a-month posts in 2016.
e---Yowza! Look at the typos in that note to you. Ha! Looks like you figured out what i was saying though. Sorry about the Italian DEEP RED (it had paper loss and was still graded "very good"? Hmm...), Better luck in the elsewhere place.
Crazy Vick--Thanks for popping by. I'm not planning on going away for ever---just severely limiting my time on here...and my poster buying (to essential stuff only---hopefully).
Gingerman---What I said to Crazy Vick. I'm not leaving entirely. I'll be back monthly to check in. Thanks for the invitation to contact you. The same goes for me. Anyone can send me a PM or an email. Congrats again on the B2 F13.
Okay--here are the last of the posters (unless i get a few more). There are only 9 of them, instead of the full 10 I usually do. These first three are not all that spectacular---certainly not climax-worthy---but I got them last night...and they're not too shabby. I dig them anyway. Two were on emovie, the other was just something I picked up. I totally forgot about the emovie auction until near the very end. Dang! oh well...I guess I saved some money? Ha!
TERROR aka DELIRIUM HOUSE (Italian):
Like the others I got in the last few postings, I just picked this up as it was inexpensive and interesting. i had no idea what DELIRIUM HOUSE could be---and it took a while before i tracked it down on IMDB as TERROR. Nice artwork--that was the draw. Interesting British flick though...at least I think i am remembering the right flick. I wish the US one sheet had utilized the ad slick, which , as i recall had the title being skewered. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/TERROR%20aka%20DELIRIUM%20HOUSE%20Italian_zpsmn7ua1k7.jpg)
WOMEN'S PRISON MASSACRE (Argentinean):
It looks like this might have been an EMMANUELLE film? Laura Gemser stars, so... I liked the exploitative women in prison art--nicely done--with the sexy EMMANUELLE silhouette in the center. This auction marked the first Argentinean posters in my collection).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/argentinean_womens_prison_massacre_SD04388_T_zpsh4z6vkco.jpg)
MOM AND DAD, GLEN OR GLENDA? and THIRD SEX (Argentinean triple feature):
WoW! Wow! WOW!!! Someone had one of these posted elsewhere a while back and I loved it. Despite it being in Spanish, i really dig this triple feature of quasi-sex ed films...one of which is the Ed Wood classic! Zowie!!! I just realized! I finally have some Ed Wood paper! WHOO HOO! very COOL!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/argentinean_glen_or_glenda_and_mom_and_dad_and_third_sex_dupe1_SD03240_C_zpsvvcizet0.jpg)
THE BLACK GESTAPO
Jinkies! I am so thrilled about this one too. My blaxploitation collection has mostly been the blaxploitation horror titles (BLACULA, DR BLACK & MR HYDE, etc.). But the other blaxploitation titles have always tempted me. I have bid, but usually get outbid. The poster for THE BLACK GESTAPO has always been my favorite. Sure, i'd love a SUPER FLY or a SLAUGHTER or a COFFY---but BLACK GESTAPO is THE (non-horror) blaxploitation poster in my opinion. Yowza! Love it. I had the flick on video back in the vhs days. Ha! I love my trash--and this is great trash.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/black_gestapo_BM05305_T_zpswlr5spwq.jpg)
GIGANTIS THE FIRE MONSTER (aka GODZILLA RAIDS AGAIN or GODZILLA 2):
Oh my STARS!!!! You may remember reading in my thread about my big lament over selling (for next to nothing) my GIGANTIS THE FIRE MONSTER and LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (original) years ago. With the end of the year approaching, I was stunned to see BOTH GIGANTIS and LAST HOUSE up for sale on an emovie auction. i thought this was a sign--and my chance--to get both posters once again. Hooray! I won GIGANTIS (and it is a better copy than my original) but the LAST HOUSE went all kinds of crazy price-wise and I let it go... Oh well. GIGANTIS once again! That's groovy enough for now. HOORAY!!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/gigantis_the_fire_monster_dupe1_SD03667_C_zpsmrxszbr0.jpg)
ZOMBIE (aka ZOMBI 2) (Italian):
Man, o' man! Am i thrilled-o-rama to get this! I had NEVER seen this ZOMBI 2 poster before---ever! It's an original Italian poster...and i got it for under $35. CRAZY! And AWESOME! ultra rare for sure. WOW!!!!!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Zombi%202%20Italian_zpsjy0x22qc.jpg)
STAR WARS, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and RETURN OF THE JEDI (British re-release combo quad):
While i'm not into the whole STAR WARS thing, I stumbled upon this British quad of the original trilogy playing all together and thought I should get it. It's got to be worth more than i paid for it. People are all crazy about STAR WARS--especially right now! And--I actually LIKE this poster. Cool.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/STAR%20WARS%20triple%20feature%20quad_zpso909jbza.jpg)
THE DISEMBODIED:
Oooo...love my B-movie horror flicks! This one has such great imagery---a skull, a scantily clad woman performing voodoo rites, and cool spooky lettering. Allison (the 50ft Woman herself) Hayes stars! Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/disembodied_KC00162_T_zpsz40qwo7y.jpg)
MIGHTY JOE YOUNG (1953 re-release):
I know this is a re-release poster, but what an awesome poster it is---KING KONG's cousin MIGHTY JOE YOUNG!!! WOW! I've wanted a MJY poster forever as well. Whoo hoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/MIGHTY%20JOE%20YOUNG%20R1953_zps1qc9eulq.jpg)
Anyway, that may very well be the LAST of the Shock-A-Rama Poster Shows until my once-a-month visits starting in 2016. I will do at least ONE more post this year telling you my plans for next year---and there may be a poster or two to share then. We'll see.
Until then, have a super duper Merry Christmas and a cha-cha-cha groovy New Year!
CHEERS!
-
Love the ZOMBIE/ZOMBI 2 / ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS, and what a bargain.
Thats the best poster for the film.
Although the daybill I got yesterday is a cracker (not so cheap)
-
Wow!
So many new cool posters.
Absolutely love the art on this one...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/TERROR%20aka%20DELIRIUM%20HOUSE%20Italian_zpsmn7ua1k7.jpg)

Hi there. I wasn't planning on any more posts...but auctions happened and I won. Argh! This is the main reason i am imposing strict buying rules on myself in the coming year. I just spend too much money. All last fall, i knew I was going to sell my house---so I charged posters left and right, as I planned on paying off my credit cards when i did sell the house. I sold the house, paid off the cards...and still keep buying like crazy with the profits from the sale. I don't want to poop all of the money away, so i MUST stop my spending by slapping rules on myself. Jeepers! i mean all of the posters below are nice (well...), but I certainly did NOT "need" any of them....and there is at least another full postings worth of posters left to share! ARGH!
ARI--Glad you like the ZOMBI 2 poster. But i really dig your ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS poster. AWESOME!!!!!!!!
TED--Hmm. Glad you liked the posters, but I am stunned that you seemed to like the one for TERROR the most/best. As always, thanks for visiting.
ROSA---I don't know if you've visited lately or will visit in the near future,. I just wanted to let you know that tomorrow I am heading to the Bay Area via train and have packed THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE to watch on the way up. Whoo hoo!
Okay--here are ten new posters I really could have lived without:
LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS: THE OWLS OF GA'HOOLE:
I actually wanted to see this (sort of) when it came out. No humans--just animals (owls?). And in 3D? It looked interesting. i bought the 3D blu ray---just have no way to watch it yet. But did I "need" the poster? No.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/legend_of_the_guardians_owls_of_gahoole_advance_blue_style_dupe2_ES01052_L_zps7wm9hb6g.jpg)
STONE FLOWER:
I opted to bid on this because it was old (40s) and had good (not great) art work and was in very good condition. But I didn't love it. I'd never even heard of this flick... Something else i could have lived without...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/stone_flower_SD03920_T_zpsp7sxgahd.jpg)
TRUE LIES:
I like spy movies, James Bond especially. While i may already have this poster, I'm not positive if i do or not. I'm no fan of Ahh-nold's but I do like Jamie Lee Curtis. Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/true_lies_styleB_SD03851_L_zpsdgjv1ldz.jpg)
TERMINATOR: GENESIS:
I didn't bother to see this or Part 3 (this is Part 5, right?) I don't have any of the TERMINATOR posters (at least, i don't think i do). Why did i feel the need to go after this one? Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/terminator_genisys_advance_dupe3_SG00142_C_zps9yvi0wka.jpg)
THE CRYING GAME:
This was a pretty good little flick, but I figured out the "gimmick" early on. (I was surprised at how they chose to "reveal" the truth though--unexpected! EEK!) But did I need the poster? No.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/crying_game_WC02629_T_zpszsfldqhn.jpg)
PLEASURE IS MY BUSINESS:
This stars the real Happy Hooker, Xaviera Hollander. It was in great condition and only going for $1. I bid $2---and won it. ($2 really being $16 with buyers premiums, etc). Ooops. I didn't need this.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Pleasure%20is%20My%20Business_zpsvsyssqwp.jpg)
ROOM 11:
Despite the stolen BOB, CAROL, TED, AND ALICE pose on the bottom of this poster, there's nothing to write home about. This came with PLEASURE IS MY BUSINESS.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Room%2011_zpscskdvazu.jpg)
THE SINFUL BED:
Another freebie with the PLEASURE IS MY BUSINESS poster. Whoopie.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/thesinfulbed_zps9k79wwde.jpg)
LIVE AND LET DIE (JAMES BOND FILM FESTIVAL re-release):
I've only half-heartedly tried to get this poster over the years. The artwork looks lifted from THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN instead of LIVE AND LET DIE. Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/James%20Bond%20Film%20Festival%20Live%20and%20Let%20Die_zpsu0y1tfkk.jpg)
OCTOPUSSY (Japanese B2):
And Bond---Japanese style in this B2. Totally not necessary as I have the US one sheet.
I have another ten to post later---and a few after that. Ugh! Good thing 2015 is almost over.
Happy almost new year.
Cheers!

Well I just watched your video on youtube of your framed posters... all I can say is WOW! Both impressed by the posters and that you framed that many of them, I got annoyed after framing 4 :P. I'm curious if you ever plan on cataloging all of your posters? Probably going to be quite the project!

+ 1
And hope you enjoyed the film. It is a strange one, it seems an old, harmless western but soon one can see why it is a masterpiece. And that ending...
-
Hi there. Here is another batch of recent posters---all nice, but things I really could have lived without (well, the last three I may have "needed". Hmm.) Yikes! I am running out of days. I'll need to post a few more tomorrow along with my plans for 2016.
e--thanks for watching that old video (made in 2008---seven, almost eight years ago!). Since getting another copy of GIGANTIS THE FIRE MONSTER, the only poster in that video that I no longer own is the original LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. I gave up the folly of trying to frame them all---but not immediately after the video was made--so there are still several dozen other posters that actually were framed (some left out of the video accidentally---others that were framed after i made it) that are not shown. As for cataloging them, I am feeling pressure to do so. An insurance guy needs me to do just that. So, sometime this spring when it's dry and I have several days off in a row, I plan to dig all of my posters out---take all of the boxes, tubes, and frames to a hotel room or someplace I'll have space, catalog and photograph them as proof for the insurance people. It will be a HUGE job as i do literally have THOUSANDS of posters...but it needs to be done, because even i am not sure what i have and don';t have. I'll share that ordeal on here when i get to it.
Rosa---I saw the film on the train (which was weird because the film opens and closes with a train). I also must say I figured out the ending LONG before the incident in the film occurred, I was a bit disappointed the song by Gene Pitney was not included---but it would have seemed out of place, i suppose. But thank you for the recommendation.
Okay--here are the posters:
ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS:
Did i need this? No. But I am reasonably sure I have all of the Mel Brooks posters from BLAZING SADDLES or YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (whichever came first) onward. I don't have anything before then (i.e. THE PRODUCERS) though. I probably have this already, but just to be sure...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/robin_hood_men_in_tights_ES01092_L_zpser1h5eeo.jpg)
MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.:
I know this was a big box office dud...but I heard it was good (?), I kind of want to see it and the stark red and blue hues in the poster really grabbed my attention.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/man_from_uncle_advance_ES01092_L_zpspo9a4mck.jpg)
RETURN TO HORROR HIGH:
I remember going to see this in the theater with something called MY DEMON LOVER. MY DEMON LOVER played first, and for one reason or another, my date and i never saw the 2nd feature (I'll leave just WHY to your imagination. Ha!). I've always wanted to see it though because, of the two movies, that was the one i really wanted to see. Ha! Oh well... I have to poster to taunt me now until i finally DO see the flick.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/return_to_horror_high_ES00445_T_zpsn6ufvlwl.jpg)
SOLE SURVIVOR:
Never saw this movie, but I've seen the poster now and again. it's interesting...so i finally got one.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/sole_survivor_SD04011_T_zpswqdjxmlo.jpg)
THE OTHER SIDE OF MADNESS:
A creepy Charles Manson exploitation movie poster? Zowie! Every cheesy poster collector in my age bracket should have at least one.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/other_side_of_madness_dupe2_HN03073_C_zpsh4nvohbn.jpg)
PREDATOR:
Just because it's a cult classic and inspired a series. i'll go ahead and get this first poster, but I'll pass on the sequels.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/predator_ES01094_L_zpshgjlllok.jpg)
RISKY BUSINESS:
I saw this movie (in the theaters) way, way after everyone else did. It was a huge hit and my expectations for it were very high because of it. When i finally saw it, i was utterly disappointed. BUT, when i bid on this classic 80s poster, despite my lack of feelings for the movie, I was stunned to learn that this image---which I had always assumed was an early photoshop thing (since i never bothered to look at it that closely)--was actually a painting by Struzan! Looking at it more closely, i can see that now. Wow!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/risky_business_SD03273_C_zpsweqd3iaq.jpg)
TIME TRAVELERS:
I've never seen this flick, but the poster is cool and always seems to escape my bidding grasp===until now. Whoo hoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Time%20Travelers_zpszbzyo62s.jpg)
RARE EXPORTS:
I've been curious about this Christmas horror (?) flick for some time. i should just buy it perhaps? Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/rare_exports_BM05072_T_zps6gfeiinx.jpg)
IN LIKE FLINT:
Although the first FLINT movie is better, I am thrilled to FINALLY get a FLINT poster! After the Bond flicks but before the MATT HELM flicks, I dig my FLINT films! Super happy to finally have a poster for one. Yahoo.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/In%20Like%20Flint_zpscwucwdvw.jpg)
I have others that i MUST post tomorrow since tomorrow is the last day of 2015. Where has the year gone?
See you tomorrow.
Cheers!

Nice 3D Time Travellers
MAGG you must have averaged a poster purchase every 4 hours throughout all of 2015! thumbsup.gif

Okay, here it is the LAST day of the year and this is my LAST post on my thread (I may visit some of the other threads before the day is out...) before my self-imposed absence from APF starts. As I've been saying, I am leaving because--since joining--movie posters have consumed all of my energy (and wallet)--especially towards the end of the year. I maxed out my credit cards buying posters because I knew i was going to sell my house. After selling the house and paying off the cards, here i am spending my meager profits on the house (which i still need to pay taxes on--eeek!), because I am only giving myself until the end of the year to shop without guidelines. Starting at midnight tonight, I really need to stop being so poster happy and buying nearly everything I see that amuses me. NO. i need to focus on my bucket list of "possible dreams" (I won't even attempt the impossible ones...like any original Universal posters...) and SAVE $$$ for the higher-priced items on my list.
That's NOT to say i won't be checking in. I plan to visit about once a month, around the 15th or so (that works out great because that will mean I only have to go 2 weeks without APF at the beginning, instead of going cold turkey for a full month!). And if anyone wants to reach me (even anyone I've never communicated with before) between my visits, all you need to do is send me a PM or (preferably--so i don't have to come back to the site to reply) an email. I'll post my purchases (if any) when i do check in as well.
I kind of want to limit myself to just 13 searches...12 main searches (I figured one for each month of the year was good enough. The 13 is sort of a catch all... I'll explain below). While my bucket list is large, these lucky 13 are a good way to help me stay focused. If I get one, i can add in a new search.
Here they are (if you are curious):
1. THE UNDEAD
2. The AZTEC MUMMY series (Mexico)
3. THE BLOB (original)
4. THE BIRDS
5. HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (original)
6. BATMAN (60s)
7. I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE (original release)
8. THE BODY SNATCHERS (original release)
9. vintage 3D posters
10. BLACKENSTEIN / BLACK FRANKENSTEIN
11. Andy Milligan horror titles I don't have (GURU THE MAD MONK, THE BODY BENEATH, etc.)
12. HG LEWIS horror titles I don't have yet (COLOR ME BLOOD RED, WIZARD OF GORE)
13. Anything needed to finish off a series I've started (i.e. OLGA'S GIRLS, LA CASA 6, PLANET OF THE APES (original), EVIL DEAD (Thai), etc .GOLDFINGER/DR. NO combo re-release poster, etc.)
I got so many things from my bucket list this past year. It's really been a good poster year. If I only get ONE thing from this list in the coming year, i won't be disappointed.
Which means that after today I will NOT be bidding on anything that is not on my list (so--eeek! I need to make my last minute bids on all future emovie auctions up and running and put in all of my snipes for Heritage right away! Today is my last chance and i think i can snipe this week's, next week's and part of the big March auction on Heritage...and will try to bid on emovie's auctions for next Thursday later tonight... ) I'll undoubtedly land a few titles in the coming days from those future auctions I'll bid on--and those I'll post when i visit.
In the mean time, here are the LAST (again) posters i have for the year, (If i do happen to buy any more between now and midnight, i'll share those when i visit as well).
KILLING BIRDS (Italian):
I've had this for a while but it somehow never got posted. I thought it was interesting that this Italian poster's title is actually in English. KILLING BIRDS was released here (on DVD) as ZOMBIE 5: KILLING BIRDS. I have a copy and have seen it---but I've never really been sure how the ZOMBIE 5 label got stuck on ity, since apparently in italy it was NOT Zombi 5 either. Hmm
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/KILLING%20BIRDS%20Italian_zpsjrsejiqx.jpg)
DAY OF THE BEAST:
I bought this because I am curious about this film. I almost bought this on DVD, but the dealer ran out of them and couldn't get more. There are others, but they have the title in Spanish on the DVD cover. I know this is dumb but, because i know an English cover is available (like this English poster) i am holding out for that DVD version,. Anyone see this flick? Is it any good?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/day_of_the_beast_dupe4_KC00192_T_zpsjzsw6hqh.jpg)
SUPER FLY:
The other day I got my long-time ultimate (non-horror) Blaxploitation prize poster, THE BLACK GESTAPO. When i was writing about that beauty, I mentioned how it was my fave even more so than my 2nd fave (non-horror) blaxploitation title SUPER FLY. Imagine my delight when I ended up getting SUPER FLY as well! OH MY STARS!!!! I am uber thrilled!.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Super%20Fly_zpszif7hwss.jpg)
THE HORRIBLE DR. HICHCOCK (Italian re-release):
I bought this ...and then noticed another copy for sale on emovie this week, I didn't pay that much for my copy...but it will be interesting to see how much the emovie one goes for. Did i get a bargain or not? Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/blog%20stuff/Horrible%20Dr%20Hitchcock%20Italian_zpsvpjomi9s.jpg)
THE LAST CANNIBAL WORLD (Italian):
I have been watching this poster for a while and decided to pick it up before my self-imposed poster buying rules go into effect. After 2015, I will probably never buy another foreign poster--except for the ones I need to complete certain series (LA CASA 6 Italian, EVIL DEAD Thai, etc.). I do like my cannibal flicks and already have the US one sheet for this...but why not on the original Italian version?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Last%20Cannibal%20World%20Italian_zpsyc3wo5jd.jpg)
HELL TRAIN (Italian):
The dealer who sold me THE LAST CANNIBAL WORLD poster approached me about some other posters he had for sale. He had two nazisploitation titles I couldn't resist (original Italian releases). This was one of them. He also had this cool ILSA poster (Italian) that someone snatched away from me at the last second. oh well/ These are nice...in their own sleazy way.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/DSCN5614_zpsyjylqfbn.jpg)
DEPORTED WOMEN OF THE SS SPECIAL SECTION (Italian):
This is the other nazisploitation poster from the dealer. What an incredible find (for someone into trash like this...)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/DSCN5606_zpsreps8ibt.jpg)
SS GIRLS (Italian):
Yikes! I am surprised this poster was actually ever printed. It's almost offensive (and Rosa, i apologize if it bothers you.). I saw this and realized this had to be rare...and bought it right away. The dealer had 4 copies, all in near-mint condition, all for about $25---a steal! I didn't realize it when I bought it, but this poster is for what was released here as SS GIRLS. The US one sheet for SS GIRLS was one of my very first posters I purchased at the beginning of the year. I thought getting this was an amazing coincidence now that the year is ending. Anyway, with the disturbing image, near-mint condition, and the fact it was a nazisploitation title, I told myself I would go back and buy another copy to sell down the road...as it was too good of a deal (and so cheap!) not to. I had purchased the poster just before going to bed and the plan was to buy another first thing in the morning. I woke up several times thinking about it--but waited for morning. When i finally got up and went to get another I was stunned to see that the remaining three were already GONE! Yowza! I was so lucky to get this one.

THE BLOOD OF DRACULA:
I was trying to decide which of my final remaining posters would be the best one to fade out with. I picked this one...even though it's yet another film I have (gasp!) never seen (at least i don't think i have). I have seen this pop up now and again---cool image of the vampire chick with the crazy eyebrow-esque hair that grows into her regular hair. What is that all about? Wild! Looks like a great B movie! What a great way to end the SHOCK-A-RAMA POSTER SHOW for 2015.

STEVE---Thanks for checking in. I am glad you dig the TIME TRAVELERS. And yes,, it FEELS like I really HAVE been buying a poster every 4 hours. That really needs to STOP. I hope I can control myself like i plan to. Thierry said somewhere (maybe in the thread he started on OUR BEST POSTERS OF 2015 or something like that) that he had purchased more than 1200 posters for the year so far. While that is great for him and he has some wonderfully awesome stuff and apparently can afford it, I don't want that to be me. I can't afford that to be me. I really do need to rein things in and focus on my poster goals....and watch my finances.
Anyway, i hope you all have a super groovilicious cha-cha awesome new year (and a fantastic Fake Jan Day on Jan. 2). May all of your poster dreams come true! I am anxious to see YOUR new additions when I get back!
I'll see you in a few weeks. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
CHEERS!!!!!!

Nice pickups, especially the NAZI ones.

What a way to end the year! One of your better albeit disturbing threads MAGG!
I really like the Manson one in the earlier post too. Go-go and have a great 2016!

Maaaan... The Day of The Beast "Dia de la Bestia" is such a fantastic film by Director Alex de la Iglesias. You will love it,it is half comedy and half something else.

As usual, Rosa's right. El dia de la bestia is a fascinating, funny film. You should check it out asap, along with anything by De la Iglesia.
Y ya que estamos Rosa, mas adelante tendrás que ayudarme justamente con un poster de esta peli... ;)
Espero que hayas empezado bien el año!!! cheers

This auction marked the first Argentinean posters in my collection).
That's a road with no return my friend...
Congrats on the triple bill. I got me one of those recently too. Lovely piece of paper ;D

DEPORTED WOMEN OF THE SS SPECIAL SECTION (Italian):
This is the other nazisploitation poster from the dealer. What an incredible find (for someone into trash like this...)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/DSCN5606_zpsreps8ibt.jpg)
My, oh my.
They just don't make 'em like this anymore.

Hi there. It's the middle of the month...and I'm back, as promised. It was sooooo HARD to stay away, In all fairness, I have popped on momentarily now and again (whenever i get a notice that something new has been added to a thread I follow...)--but never stay long enough to write a response. I'm trying to avoid the forum to damper my poster mania and save some money. How is that working for me? Well...It's really too early to say. i do have a whole lot of new posters to share with you (I'm breaking this post into two posts. i'll post the other half of it later tonight when I get home from work...). While that might SOUND like failure (and it kind of is), the bulk of them (especially the ones on this posting) were made via pre-bidding and or setting up snipes prior to my Dec. 31st, 2015 self-imposed deadline. Others have been acquired in the same way. I don't think--except for one instance which i will explain in the next posting---that I've even bothered to watch (or even remembered to watch) the auctions as they happen live. I consider that a good thing. That means whatever i was outbid on i did NOT fight (and bid higher) to get.
Before getting to the posters though, let me say hello to my guests who visited while i have been away...
STEVE:
Nice pickups, especially the NAZI ones.
See you every few days here
Hey Steve! Always nice to see you. Glad you like the Nazi ones. Weird i'd end the year with such unpleasant Nazisploitation stuff...but you really can't pick what will ;pop up when. Thanks for the note...and yes. You are seeing me NOW and , after my Part 2 posting, you'll see me back in mid-February. Cheers!!!
CRAZY VICK:
What a way to end the year! One of your better albeit disturbing threads MAGG!
I really like the Manson one in the earlier post too. Go-go and have a great 2016!
HI ya, Crazy Vick! I just said the same thing to Steve about ending my poster year on such a bizarre and disturbing poster note...but what are you going to do? NOT buy posters when you have the chance? Glad you liked them and the MANSON poster too. Thanks for the well wishes for the new year. You have yourself a go-go groovy 2016 as well, pal! CHEERS!
ROSA:
Maaaan... The Day of The Beast "Dia de la Bestia" is such a fantastic film by Director Alex de la Iglesias. You will love it,it is half comedy and half something else.
Rosa! Thanks for the thumbs up word on DAY OF THE BEAST. i'll get a copy sooner or later and check it out. I'm really curious now. CHEERS!
MATIAS:
As usual, Rosa's right. El dia de la bestia is a fascinating, funny film. You should check it out asap, along with anything by De la Iglesia.
Y ya que estamos Rosa, mas adelante tendrás que ayudarme justamente con un poster de esta peli... ;)
Espero que hayas empezado bien el año!!! cheers
Matias! What an honor to have you stop by. Thanks! I am glad to hear you second Rosa's enthusiasm for DAY OF THE BEAST. I really MUST check it out.
You also had this to say about my recent purchase of my first Argentine posters:
That's a road with no return my friend...
Congrats on the triple bill. I got me one of those recently too. Lovely piece of paper ;D
I concur. I really, REALLY love that triple bill. Glad you have one too. In fact, i think that when you posted yours, the seed was planted in my head that I MUST also get one. Thanks!
TED:
My, oh my.
They just don't make 'em like this anymore.
faint2.gif
Zowie! i am glad you liked it...and surprised by all of the positive feedback on the Nazisploitation stuff i found. Yowza! I thought I was the ONLY one who liked schlock like that! Ha!
Okay--it's poster time! Let's get part 1 of the January Shock-A-Rama Poster Show going... (but fair warning. i'm saving the better stuff for tomorrow...)!.
CALIGULA AND MESSALINA (Italian 4F):
This poster, and several of the posters below, was part of the bidding frenzy I found myself in on DFec. 31st. I bid on almost anything and everything remotely interesting that was due to close after the 1st. I did this because of my self-imposed restrictions on what i could buy this year. This was my last free-for-all. And I learned a lesson, too. Most of the really good stuff ended up getting outbid on...and the stuff that was "just okay" that i didn't really need...became mine. And...eeek! This is a 4F. I never buy 4Fs. I don't do well with posters in two parts. Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/italian_2p_caligula_and_messalina_BM05483_T_zpsy05cjcg8.jpg)
CALIGULA AND MESSALINA (Italian 2 F):
Another mad-dash bid...and another poster I could have lived without.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/italian_1p_caligula_and_messalina_SD04313_L_zpslszilrme.jpg)
NIGHTMARE ON PORN STREET(Japanese B2):
Speaking of posters I did not need...here's THIS! What was I thinking? Ha-ha...a porn parody of the Elm Street series...but did i need it? NO!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/japanese_b2_nightmare_on_porn_street_a_BM05183_L_zpsqtdgh5vb.jpg)
METAMORPHOSIS (Japanese B2):
This one was kind of interesting...but nothing I really had to have...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/japanese_b2_metamorphosis_a_BM05183_L_zpsdciwiyzu.jpg)
MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN (Japanese B2):
I bid on several Japanese/Asian Bond posters...and was outbid on all of them except this one...which was the one i most wanted to be outbid on. Why? Because i already have the US one sheet...which this looks just like minus the Asian characters. Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/japanese_b2_man_with_the_golden_gun_KC00146_T_zpsapo4arsz.jpg)
SPECTRE (Advance):
Now that SPECTRE has come and gone, the posters are more affordable. I got the advance poster and...it's kind of dull actually. Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/spectre%20advance_zpsuvoalcpk.jpg)
JOURNEY BACK TO OZ (Video):
I bought this earlier this week---so my end of the year last minute bid-o-rama does not explain this. I'm using self-imposed rule #13--finishing off series I have already started. i have a collection of OZ posters and while I already have the one sheet for this flick, I thought I'd pick up this video poster for it as well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Journey%20Back%20to%20Oz%20video_zpsd6jnlvku.jpg)
TRON:
I already had some posters from TRON 2 (whatever it was called), so...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Tron_zpspjrhxpku.jpg)
HERCULES AND THE MASKED RIDER (French Affiche Grande):
Hercules/sword & sandal/peplum flicks are a fave. This French poster is cool...and one of the last of the last minute bidding frenzy bids made before 2016. Notice how HERCULES is someone else when released in France? Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/french_1p_hercules_and_the_masked_rider_BM05474_T_zpsljxefnkl.jpg)
THE GOONIES:
A end of the year snipe that ended up as a win this year..
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Goonies_zpsnccb77nc.jpg)
HUNCHBACK OF THE MORGUE:
Another poster I didn't really need...but won anyway.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/french_1p_hunchback_of_the_morgue_BM05461_T_zpsnzn0uq0i.jpg)
BLOOD OF THE EXECUTIONER (French-affiche grande):
I like this one--and other bid last year/won this year thing. I know nothing about the flick though.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/french_1p_blood_of_the_executioner_SD04304_T_zpsfglkrc5n.jpg)
While none of these posters are bad...for the most part they really do not "do it" for me. This was a HUGE lesson for me and my buying/bidding habits. I really need to focus on things I really like/need/want...not just things that are "okay".
The batch i'll share later tonight (?) has much better stuff...but a few more bid on whatever oops-es. Hopefully when i am back in February I'll have fewer posters--but nicer ones still.
CHEERS!
-
Putting a limit has worked well for me. I just buy anything I can find on around 15 films. And IF and only IF the price is too cheap and the funds are available I go for other stuff I find interesting.
-
Personally, and it's all very personal, of course, but I don't think you should ever spend money you don't have on posters, which are, by essence, not essential and frivolous. I only buy posters with extra money, meaning money that I do not need to live. I'm very strict about this. I know of a few people who have maxed out their credit cards to buy posters, and I think it's a very risky endeavor.

-
The Nightmare on Porn Street gave me a laugh...Looking forward to what's next.
-
This is a 4F. I never buy 4Fs. I don't do well with posters in two parts. Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/italian_2p_caligula_and_messalina_BM05483_T_zpsy05cjcg8.jpg)
Toss out the top half, it doesn't add much, unless you are a horse head fan :P
-
Hi there. Here is Part 2 of my monthly post for my thread. The previous post was not that exciting (but it did have some nice things). But this post has me excited. And I get more excited the further down today's list I go. Wait until you see the last one. OH MY STARS!!!! I can NOT believe it is mine!
But I am getting ahead of myself... First I need to say hello to those who visited today.
MATIAS: I like your advice. But instead of focusing on 15 titles and buying posters for them in various versions, I am focusing (well, I am supposed to be...it hasn't quite worked that way yet) on 13 titles /types/series of posters I do not have yet. Hopefully that will keep me from buying things I don't really need like the CALIGULA AND MESSALINA titles. I'm hoping that the further into the year i go, the more disciplined I become... Fingers crossed.
THIERRY: I hear you. Getting deep in credit card debt, etc. is exactly what I am trying to avoid by this "experiment". I am currently "debt free" (except for some student loans) because i sold a house. But I don't want to poop all of the house profits away. I am actually buying less than i was last month (or the month before---or the month before that) right now. I hope I can get myself in the habit of just getting what i "need" and avoiding the extraneous stuff. But thanks for the sound advice.
e: I hear you. It gave me a chuckle too...and then I bought it and really looked at it. Didn't need it. But it's too late...
STEVE: Of COURSE! I should have KNOWN you would zero in on that one. Ha! Nice to see you!
Now let's take a look at the posters and see what/why i got them
FAIRY TALES:
This is from a Heritage Auction--AFTER the Dec. 31st frenzy. I still sniped this auction--didn't see it happen. The outcome was a surprise. I opted to try and get this one as i have a collection of "adult" fairy tale movie posters (ALICE IN WONDERLAND, EROTIC ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO, CINDERELLA, THE EXOTIC ADVENTURES OF ZORRO, etc.). Did i need it? Not really. But glad i have it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Fairy%20Tales_zpsrkyvwyid.jpg)
JULIET OF THE SPIRITS:
Wow! I have no idea what this is or how i bid on it. I think i must have made a goof when i was doing my snipes. I know it's a Fellini film...but only because it says so on the poster. i've never seen it, never even heard of it...(and, shocking I know, but I've never seen a Fellini film!). but it's a cool poster--snipe goof or not!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Juliet%20of%20the%20Spirits_zps0kkfppkf.jpg)
VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (Japanese B2):
NOT the most attractive poster ever, but VALLEY OF THE DOLLS is a camp classic that has been a personal fave for years and years! This Japanese B2 was the only thing i bid on in last Tuesday's emovie poster...and I promptly forgot about it...and was surprised to find out I WON it. (Why couldn't this have happened with the Power Ball? ARGH!) Yahoo.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/japanese_b2_valley_of_the_dolls_KM00691_L_zpsgwcqkot4.jpg)
SPECTRE (Subway):
Jeff/Erik 1925 introduced me to subway posters...and this SPECTYRE subway is better than the Spectre advance I shared this morning. Love my Bond flicks and have all of the posters now (except ONE combo re-issue...argh! But it WILL be mine this year...I hope.)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/spectre%20subway_zpssw4xolx5.jpg)
PARTY AT KITTY AND STUD'S (Italian 2F):
This one is mine...Grrr. This is the ONE poster I bid on blindly and got caught up in during the auction. I just happened to see the outbid notice on it---lost my head (why? Did i need this?), went bananas trying to hang on to it for some inexplicable reason, and bid crazy high! UGH!!!! Oh well. Lesson learned...hopefully. But what a hoot to own the Italian poster for Sylvester Stallone ("The Italian Stallion") in his pre-fame blunder into porn! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/italian_1p_party_at_kitty_and_studs_SD04294_T_zpsvev1ik8d.jpg)
TALES FROM THE CRYPT (Italian 4F):
Plus side, i won this without watching the auction. COOL art. Down side,...it's a 4F. i don't like those 2 section posters. How do you even frame these without somehow attaching the two pieces together?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/italian_2p_tales_from_the_crypt_SD04318_L_zps4dtlkqg6.jpg)
KNIGHTRIDERS:
Wow! I wanted this forever! While not the best George Romero flick by far, i dig the poster. I have the dull style B poster (just a photo collage basically)...but have always wanted the illustrated style A. Yahoo. i jousted with a big bid, left it to fate...and it's mine!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Knightriders_zpslb5ekyen.jpg)
BARBARELLA:
This is an interesting win. In my pre-2016 bidding/sniping frenzy, i ended up losing a lot of really cool stuff on eMovie and getting a bunch of things i didn't really need (see previous posting). I did the same on HA....only the opposite happened. i lost out on EVERYTHING I bid on...except one thing...this awesome first release (I already have the re-release) BARBARELLA poster! It's doubly awesome as I was their under bidder for this same poster in their big November auction....and this one went for considerably less than the one in November! Whoo hoo!!!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Barbarella_zps6ckch1ul.jpg)
WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST:
OH MY STARS!!!!! This poster, to me, is just GORGEOUS!!!!! The story behind this one is also awesome. Usually, before an auction, I will look at everything being offered ahead of time, put some of it in my watch list and wait to bid until the last moment (if I'm actually watching the auction) or at the last possible moment (like just before leaving for work) if I will not be watching. This was a Thursday night auction on emovie. Occasionally there will be something I want that I know will be way, WAY out of my price range/league and I will never get it. On those occasions, instead of putting it in my watch list, i'll just bid some crazy number and forget about it---knowing I won't get it. I had several cool things in my watch list...some of them went for fairly reasonable or cheap prices....and were NOT mine because I simply forgot all about the auction! I had, however, bid some random price on this poster---forgot about it--and ended up winning it! What!?! NO WAY! Despite losing many other cool lots that night simply because I forgot about the auction, my wallet was glad I didn't have to shell out even MORE after the auction ended than I had to pay for this. But--zowie! This is the most amazing colossal poster of the year...and it's only mid-January (and the original film's poster, THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN, is coming up for auction in March...i won't stand a chance of winning it--especially since I am NOT the Power Ball winner, but I can try and dream...). Wow! WOW!! W-O-W ! ! !
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/war_of_the_colossal_beast_SD03667_C_zpsutttzqtk.jpg)
And that's it for this month. I'll pop around tonight and visit a few of the threads I usually visit and then I'll be gone again until mid-February-ish.
I hope the first few weeks of the new year have been promising (although we all lost out on the Power Ball drawing, soooo.. waaagh. There goes those Universal monster poster dreams... Ha!)
See you in a month. You can also always email or message me if you like. Don't buy anything I wouldn't buy I want to buy. Ha!
CHEERS!
-
Well I had to pop in again right before I go to bed. Great stuff! Especially love the Valley of the Dolls, Barbarella, Tales from the Crypt and War of the Colossal Beast. Well goodnight, see ya soon!

PLEASURE IS MY BUSINESS:
This stars the real Happy Hooker, Xaviera Hollander. It was in great condition and only going for $1. I bid $2---and won it. ($2 really being $16 with buyers premiums, etc). Ooops. I didn't need this.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Pleasure%20is%20My%20Business_zpsvsyssqwp.jpg)
When I was planning my hols to Bruges and Amsterdam last year I was kept busy methodically researching possible hotels and B&B accommodation. The aforesaid Xaviera Hollander (not an easy name to forget) actually runs a Bed and Breakfast in Amsterdam.

And no, before you ask, I stayed here instead...

Oh and that 'Children of the Damned ' poster is excellent by the way!

MEN IN TIGHTS looks good to me
...say no more
...
-
;D
-
Hello! I'm back for my monthly visit (no wise-cracks about that. Ha!). I'm popping in a day early to wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day (and because, after work, I'll be on the road tomorrow heading to Palm Springs. No time to write then...).
I really, REALLY miss being on here all of the time. I still sneak on for moments at a time when I get a notification for new updates on certain threads...but it's not the same as actively participating on a day-to-day basis. I especially miss my "friends" on here. I hope everyone has been well.
Still, my reason for doing this was to keep my spending in check (and I really HAVE been spending less) and to focus on things I really want / "need". This hasn't been as successful (as you'll see in my latest acquisitions below and on my 2nd post I'll have up later today, after work)...but it's still a step in the right direction. (Hopefully.)
Of the posters I have acquired in the past month (!!), the ones in this post are my least favorite. The ones in my next post (later tonight) I am more enthusiastic about. There will also be another post with last-minute additions.
But before we get to them, i must say hello to those who dropped in during the last month!
e : We've talked since you posted here--but it's always so good to see you visit. Glad you liked those particular posters you mentioned. Of the ones you liked, I am still beside myself with joy over WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST--which will probably be my favorite purchase for all of 2016. Zowie! I hope you are building your collection up. I'll check in and see it later today.
Monocle : Glad you liked the VILLAGE/CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED combo poster. Thanks. As for Xaviera Hollander and her Amsterdam B&B, not long ago I wondered whatever happened to her (I had come across some of "her" books. Most of her books, post-the original HAPPY HOOKER, were ghost written by my friend Thom Racina...which is why I have "her" books.) and looked her up and saw what she was up to today. Thanks for sharing though... How odd that the world's most notorious "hooker" should make a living renting out rooms/beds in her golden years--and back in Amsterdam where she started.
Rosa :MEN IN TIGHTS does it for you? Is it the film or the visual the title conjures up...as there are no men in tights shown on the poster actually? Hmm.
Okay--on with the posters...
PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE:
I have never heard of this movie--nor am I all that wild about the poster (I do like the color scheme though). This particular poster came with another poster I picked up as a lot. I probably would not have bothered to include this otherwise if my acquisitions haven't slowed down to just enough for the two posts I'm making today.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Punch%20Drunk%20Love_zps8aweesys.jpg)
COMIN' AT YA:
I already have this poster--but I'm a sucker for gimmicks/3D. COMIN' AT YA was the first 3D film of the 80s and its success brought on the short-lived 80s 3D revival that included such films as JAWS 3D, AMITYVILLE 3D, and FRIDAY THE 13th PART 3 3D! I picked up this copy because it was cheap...but mostly because it came with the bonus poster posted below...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Comin%20At%20Ya_zpsjrweyquo.jpg)
HOT HEIR:
While I am reasonably sure I already have this poster---I'm not 100% sure. Despite the ding on the right side, i really needed to get this copy--just in case I do not have the copy I think i have already. HOT HEIR was one of the string of low-budget 3D flicks produced by Earl Owensby in the 80s. His flicks got mostly regional releases (south mostly--and east coast). I never got to see an Owensby 3D movie...in 3D or otherwise. Because of the limited saturation/play dates, there were not the millions of posters produced a normal Hollywood blockbuster would have printed. I have a nice copy of his poster for TALES OF THE THIRD DIMENSION and a crappy copy of the poster for ROTTWEILER...as well as this poster...there are still a few other Owensby 3D poster titles that elude me. Gotta get 'em!!!! Wish they'd put these movies out on 3D home video! Yowza!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Hot%20Heir_zpswazzlm65.jpg)
STAR WARS: CLONE WARS v. 1:
I am not a STAR WARS fanatic. I came across this though and picked it up. It was inexpensive and, as the poster for the first release of the first part of the CLONE WARS animated series, i thought it might be worth something down the road. Or not. Whatever...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/star_wars_clone_wars_video_volume_1_style_dupe4_BM02912_C_zpsdzlqceef.jpg)
THE SEXORCIST'S DEVIL:
I already had a copy of this with a big tape paper lift on it...so i needed another. This is a re-titling of some crappy Ray Dennis Steckler film I found and downloaded online years ago. If I watched it, I promptly forgot it. What i do remember was grainy, bad and boring... Interesting rip-off title though... (which is why I bought it in the first place).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/sexorcists_devil_dupe1_JC10730_C_zpsucyyt6dh.jpg)
THE LOST CONTINENT:
I have seen this---but even to this day, i keep mistaking this title for the 1960 Irwin Allen flick THE LOST WORLD. I probably have this title already (but do i have THE LOST WORLD? Hmm...)...but if I didn't, well... I do now.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Lost%20Continent_zpseizggf3l.jpg)
TARZAN THE APE MAN (1959 remake):
I already have a copy of this, but Im hoping this is a better copy. I love my TARZAN movies...and am super curious about this one. It is a notorious stinker...and is the only TARZAN movie (known to still be in existence) that is NOT available on home video. This is the remake of the Johnny Weismeuller original---with Denny Miller in his solo turn as the King of the Jungle.

FIVE MILLION YEARS TO EARTH:
I was delighted to get this poster---Jan. 17th--but it was back when I was forced to use my laptop computer for everything. I couldn't see much on the small screen...so completely missed the dark line/stain running down the vertical fold. Waaaagh! This will go in the future sell pile for sure.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Five%20Million%20Years%20To%20Earth_zpshwjt7k1f.jpg)
BOOGIE NIGHTS:
Here is another poster I really have wanted for some time...that I did not notice on my tiny laptop screen that it had problems all down the right side of the poster. Hmm. Maybe it will cover with a frame?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Boogie%20Nights_zpsrmjba2ji.jpg)
LEGEND:
I know this film has a big cult following. i saw the film in the theater back in the day. While I thought it was okay--I wasn't ga-ga over it. I did like the poster for it (this style---the others didn';t work for me). While I am reasonably sure I have a copy of this already, i am not 100% sure---so i picked this up. Now that I can see it on a bigger screen (I have a new desktop computer), I see it's not in as groovy of shape as i thought. i may have to look for another copy... Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Legend_zpsimnrchcm.jpg)
And that's 10. Later tonight i'll post the rest of the posters I've acquired during my month away. Stay tuned,
CHEERS!
-
It's that time of the month, already? Zowie! rofl1
Nice pickups. The Boogie Nights poster is cool. I had one on my wall way back when. I must say though, my fave from this lot is The Sexorcist's Devil. >:D
-
An arrayed assortment, once again, there, MAGG. Quite the eclectic mix!
Congrats.. and with more to come tonight!!
-
NEO: Hi there. Nice to see you. Ha! THE SEXORCIST'S DEVIL poster is the best part of the whole movie. Glad you like it.
JEFF: New avatar? It almost looks like it's from CABINET OF DR CALIGARI--the somnambulist. Is it? Where is it from?
I wrote my morning posting (and the posting that will follow this one) several days ago so I would have an easy time of things when posting time came. But--oops! Auctions happened and wins occurred.
These are late additions to my poster postings for the month--and not my FAVES of the month (those will come still later this evening...) I am writing this on the 12th. Obviously, I still have NOT learned my lesson about buying things I do not need...but it could have been worse. Last Tuesday's emovie auction had many different posters from all over the world. I did NOT "need" any of them, but saw a bunch i liked and bid conservatively on them. I won 3...but that's still $30-odd dollars i did not need to spend. Last Thursday's auction left me winning only 1 when the auction dust had cleared...and then there was Richard's Movie Poster Bid auction and who knows what--if anything--I may have won tonight (while working. Whatever I won will have to wait for my March visit for posting)! Oh well. Here are those recent win posters I did not need (well, the last two I'm kind of pumped about, but)......
THE UNUSUAL VOYAGE OF MISHKA STREKACHYOV (Russian):
I know nothing about this, but found the photo poster of the child charming... But I didn't need this.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/russian_unusual_voyage_of_mishka_strekachyov_SD04680_L_zpsrpnc6yud.jpg)
KING OF THE REINDEER (Russian):
Another movie I know nothing about...but I liked the art. Did NOT need it though.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/russian_king_of_the_reindeer_SD04680_L_zpsnrzmv3ww.jpg)
MOONLIGHT (Polish):
This is apparently not a movie poster, but a poster for a live performance. It does not say where or when it is happening though. The poster is supposed to be Polish--and it looks like it could be Polish art--but every word on it is in English. Another poster, while cool, it was not necessary...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/polish_large_moonlight_HN03264_L_zpsh6pwpz8n.jpg)
JOHNS:
This is a small, indie movie nobody saw. It was kind of like a poor man's MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO in that it featured two up and coming actors (David Arquette and Lucas Haas) daringly playing male prostitutes. It didn't have the punch MOPI has, but it was still a good little movie. Plus it was only $5.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Johns_zps8tqdfcz9.jpg)
LOST BOYS:
Zowie! I am kind of excited about this poster. While i am reasonably sure i have a copy already, I don't think it's in as nice of condition as this one and while this poster usually gets very pricey for some reason---this very good copy wasn't too bad price-wise. I didn't need this copy, but I'm glad I got it.
(http://)
LOST HIGHWAY:
Of the really recent stuff (on this posting...all from the last few days), I am most pumped about this one. I THINK I may have a LOST HIGHWAY poster---but I am NOT sure. I loved TWIN PEAKS and am looking forward to the continuation series next year. LOST HIGHWAY, when I first saw it, was soooo amazing. It was my favorite Lynch piece until his masterpiece (imo) MULHOLLAD DR. was released. LOST HIGHWAY doesn't hold up for me (the last half hour or so is still wonderfully wtf-ish though) since MULHOLLAND DR. came along...but anything Lynch is worth grabbing. Yahoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Lost%20Highway_zpsdtbuj2m3.jpg)
And that's it for this mini-post. My final post (my favorites from the last month) will come a little later this evening.
CHEERS!
-
Hi there. How was your Valentine's Day? Filled with hugs, kisses and (as Shirley Feeney would say) vo-dee-o-dodo? (Oh my!) Maybe just sweet exchanges of cards, flowers and chocolates? I worked all day... That was fine. (UGH...sooooo dang tired...)
Anyway--I hope you had a Happy Valentine's Day everyone. And now on with the posters:
TWIN PEAKS - FIRE WALK WITH ME:
I already have a copy of this that I got years ago from the theater that was showing it. But my copy got some damage after years of storage. I picked this copy up as a replacement. With the new series coming out soon (now scheduled for 2017--ugh! I can NOT wait!) I am hoping interest in this title will go up. I wasn't wild about the film prequel---but it was still better than no TWIN PEAKS at all.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Twin%20Peaks%20Fire%20Walk%20With%20Me_zps1rxtwq1m.jpg)
THE MYSTERIANS:
From behind the moon they came...to invade the earth, abduct its women, level its cities! Zowie! I have half-heartedly been trying to get one of these posters for years. I was surprised to win this lot...especially since it came with TWO copies of the same poster (cutting the actual price in half). I'll re-sell one later down the line. In big screen color! Greatest science fiction picture ever conceived by the mind of man! (That, of course, implies that all of the other better sci fi movies were conceived by, what? Aliens!? Ooooooo!) Ha!~
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Mysterians_zpsimdulgwt.jpg)
LOGAN'S RUN (Beach Towel):
What a minute, you are saying. That isn't a poster. It's a beach towel. That is correct. Nearly 40 years ago, in the summer of 1976, I remember buying one of these Farrah Fawcett/LOGAN'S RUN beach towels at the long-defunct GEMCO department store in town. It was thin and very cheaply made. I had it thumb-tacked up to my wall for 2 years, until we moved. It was somehow lost in the move and never recovered. Since that time I have been trying to get a replacement. It's been a seemingly impossible task...until I came across this one is as nice of shape as you can expect after nearly 40 years. i am delighted to finally have another copy (who knows...maybe this was actually MY towel from way back when?) and will eventually frame it and hang it up on a wall again.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Logans%20Run%20Towel_zps0gqekqs1.jpg)
THE CRAZIES (original version):
I was thrilled to snag this little gem...the one sheet for the original CRAZIES bt George Romero. I finally saw the film last year...expect to see the remake this year some time.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Crazies_zpsmee9fnfn.jpg)
THE VIRGIN OF NUREMBURG (Italian 2F):
I find this poster just gorgeous. I had been watching it for some time, but didn't want to pay what the dealer was asking for it. He also had the poster below (no peeking---you'll see it in a moment any way) and, after hanging on to my rather generous allotment of eBay Bucks for a few weeks with nothing better to spend them on--I opted for this poster (and the one below) and got both essentially almost for free. Wow!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Virgin%20of%20Nuremburg%20Italian_zpsyyq1zwnx.jpeg)
BLOOD-SPATTERED BRIDE (Italian 4F):
I do not like the Italian 4F size. They are just TOO BIG and how do you keep the two sheets that make up the poster together? Hmm. Despite NOT liking the 4F size, i was just drawn to this poster. The 2F for this title did not work for me at all...in fact, this movie is crappy in my opinion. But this poster? I don't know why, but I just love it. When I decided to finally cash in my eBay bucks, i decided to just go for it and get this. It's big (too big) and beautiful...and free! Yowza!

JAWS 2 Advance Red/sunset-style:
Oooo. I have been wanting one of the rare "red"/"sunset" advance posters for "JAWS 2" for a long while. Never thought I'd get one. Looks as if it has a bit more fold wear than i am comfortable with, but... I'll have to wait and see what it looks like in real life when I get it before i can tell for sure. It did take a big bite out of my wallet though. Ouch...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/JAWS%202%20adv%20red_zps4n7cnqhx.jpg)
GODZILLA VS THE THING:
Whoo hoo! Another classic GODZILLA title for my collection. of course, i still need the original (never gonna happen) and a few other posters--mostly from the 70s---but this brings me one step closer to completing (as much as possible) the series.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Godzilla%20Vs%20The%20Thing_zpsa1hbbd91.jpg)
GORGO:
Zowie! Another giant monster movie/Godzilla rip off poster! GORGO!!!! Cross that off my list. Yippie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/gorgo_SD03667_C_zpsdcmr7mlt.jpg)
GOLDFINGER and DR. NO re-release combo:
This had been on my list for the longest time... I actually have left it on the list, because I am going to seek out a better copy than this one. I have one sheets for all of the Bond films (admittedly, most of the Connery Bond titles are the 80s re-release versions) and had most of the double (or triple) feature re-release posters...except for this one. ARGH! I've been trying to procure one for the last 20 years +/-. I'd see one and it would slip away...constantly. I didn';t let this one go---but paid too much for it and am not happy with the wear on it. BUT--I am one step closer to happily having a copy i like.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Goldfinger%20Dr%20Mo%20combo_zpszgyamn3l.jpg)
And that's it for February. I'll see you guys in mid-March. Drop me a line if you like. Buy great posters! CHEERS!
-
nice one MAGG! I would also love to wrap that Farrah towel around myself. Make sure you wash it thoroughly in case the previous owner did so, too!
I see your not being on APF = not buying posters is only moderately effective, perhaps you can spend more time around here and live vicariously through others' purchases? Just don't click on the "upcoming movie poster event calendar" thread... That way we're all winners!
-
You pegged the avatar correctly, there, MAGG. :D
It's Conrad Veidt from Caligari
And I was curious. I noticed on a good handful of your recent buys that you mentioned you may already own a copy but weren't sure if you did or not.
How many posters would you say are in your collection?
Sounds like you dont have any kind of database or "tally list," so that you don't buy duplicates by accident? (But I'm not meaning getting a better, duplicate replacement copy).

Yes I can't wait for the new series either! Great haul here as usual. I love the art on the Blood-Spattered Bride 4f, never seen the movie. Can't wait to see what next month brings.
-
GOGO!!! WEll done! Nice to see you this month. We spoke in email a bit, but I wanted to come and look at your new paper.
Jaws 2...isn't that the first version printed?
Moonlight...I love the art on this one. Nice eye you have.
Nurnburg....I don't see a signature, any idea who the artist is?
The Crazies....I like the remake better. This could however be, only be because, I saw the remake before I saw the original.
-
I just love reading your posts Shawn, there is always something for everyone. And always something different and original.... I think your Beach Towel is the item of the month!!! I like the Italian Bride too, quite striking indeed...oh man.. :)
#GoGo
-
Nice Monster.
-
Love them, especially 5 million.... Quatermass is the best.
The towel is also great.

I know I am probably sick, but, it looks like the designer of the towel modified the Logan's run logo into a pair of briefs

Hi there! No, this is not my usual monthly visit. I'm just correcting an error. For some reason, my LOST BOYS poster didn't show up in my last post. We all know what it looks like, but it bothers the crap out of me that it's NOT posted.
But I should say my hellos first.
CRAZY VICK :
Hi there. Glad you liked the towel. Ha. As for your suggestion of jumping back on because my plan isn't working...I beg to differ. It's been a week since my visit and in that time I've only purchased 1 (ONE!) poster. That's awesome. I gotta keep trying to NOT buy. About visiting more---we'll see. I'm here now for a (stupid) special appearance now, aren't I? I dopn't want to make a habit of it, but...
JEFF : You are right---I have no master list of what i have in my collection. I need to dig them all out, go through them and make a list very soon. That old website I was using was my only record of my purchases--although those were more recent purchases. When that was wiped out (!!!!!???!!!), I started over...then found this place and made my thread. My thread is the only place where I have a record of purchases...but the things on my page are not from all of the way back since I started buying. Some posters I KNOW I have or don't have. Some posters I am pretty sure about...others I just don't know. (But having things posted here---so I can look at them and see that, yes i do have one, has been a big help....which is why I am posting the LOST BOYS today---so i can see it and hopefully NOT buy a 2nd one....which this actually might already be. Ha!)
e : Always a delight to see you---glad you like the BRIDE poster and the TWIN PEAKS!
GINGERMAN : Yes, the JAWS 2 is an advance...it was a rare version (but a lot seem to have popped up). There is an even rarer advance, with the shark emerging from the depths on a small sail boat. Wish i had that one. As for the artist on the VIRGIN poster...I have no idea.
ROSA : Zowie! I am glad you liked my towel..."Item of the Month". Ha! I was afraid i'd be harshly criticized for putting it up as it's a towel...not a poster. But to me, my original towel was always gonna be on the wall. It was never purchased for use as a towel.
RDAVEY26 : Wow! Thanks for stopping by. It is a pleasure to see you here.
ARI : Glad you dig the QUARTERMASS poster--and the towel. And your response to Steve was awesome! Ha!
STEVE : Hi there. Thanks for stopping by... And only YOU would come up with somethiong like that. Ha!
Okay...poster time. So here it is. (No drum roll needed.):
LOST BOYS:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/lost_boys_BM05160_T_zps1mbteyhz.jpg)
Since this is sort of a repeated post (since I mentioned LOST BOYS when I visited on the 14th), I'm going to go ahead and through in the only other new poster I have at the moment....
BARRACUDA (Italian 4F):
ANOTHER 4F. I'm NO fan of that size (It's super huge and in 2 pieces), but I am a sucker for JAWS ripoffs. I already have the 2F version which is different. This version has a gorier image with the barracuda with the diver's head in its mouth. Yowza! I like the image...and had gotten it on an Italian locandina (?). I guess if I want it on a poster, it will have to be a 4F. Apparently in Italy, most 2F and 4F posters feature different images...is that true? Anyway, here it is...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/italian_2p_barracuda_SD04700_L_zpsw43pxner.jpg)
Okay...I'll see you all again in about 3 weeks.
CHEERS!

As a fellow, co-owner of a rolled (never folded) LOST BOYS one sheet -- I commend you, MAGG. ;D
I got mine from work, back in 1987, and I think it's a great visual for the Schumacher, vampire flicker.

I too own a Steve rolled never folded Lost Boys. Great movie. Monster a GoGo I really like your collection. I think I asked this a long time ago, as a general question, but what do you look for in a poster? Do you have to like the movie? The artist? I am sure it is a bit of a blend, but I am curious.
-
Hi there. Happy March. How have you all been? Well, I hope. As I write this (well, everything from the hellos to recent visitors downward has already been written), it is late on the evening of March 4th. I need to get to bed as i have to be up at 5 a.m. for work. Ugh. Anyway, my post is generally uninteresting this time. Really, I've nothing I'm super excited about. The last two titles I am glad to have, I suppose, but the rest are unnecessary. I really, REALLY need to STOP buying stuff I don't need. Anyway, I thought I'd just sneak this up and get rid of it and start fresh for my mid-March posting (if I get anything else between then and now, that is...).
Before we get to the posters, let me say hello to those who visited since my last post:
JEFF: Huh. I had no idea that a rolled LOST BOYS was a bit of a rarity. I just got one when I got one. I really never thought about rolled vs folded for this title and never noticed the difference. I think that is probably because I have been collecting for so long--from way back in the days when everything was folded--that I don't notice whether something from around when the switch was made is rolled or folded (unless it is brought to my attention). So THANK YOU for waking me up to that fact.
CJ138: Wow! Nice to see you visiting. Thanks for leaving a note and the compliment about my collection. As to your question as to what i look for in a poster--it is sort of a blend. Liking the movie helps--but not always. (Some movies suck but have amazing posters.) The work of a particular artist you enjoy is also something to look for--but he/she doesn't make posters for every movie. Mainly what I look for in a poster is just the poster itself. This current crop o' posters is a poor example. But down the list you'll see NIGHTMARE CASTLE, a film I know nothing about and the poster is done by some artist I am completely oblivious to. However, i liked the poster...so I bought it. Mostly I buy what I like. Of all of the posters in my collection (and you've seen my thread) a good chunk of them are for movies i've never seen and/or had never heard of (until i saw the poster). I got the posters because I liked them. It's ultimately MY collection. I'm buying for me and no one else. So buy what YOU like. There are no right or wrong purchases if they are right for you.
Okay--poster time.
I already posted my 4F Italian BARRACUDA poster I got earlier (late February) when I re-posted the LOST BOYS poster that somehow did NOT get added to an earlier mid-February posting. But here are the rest of this month's poster acquisitions:
CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST:
I already shared this on the March "new acquisitions" thread, thanks to Jeff calling me out for starting the March thread (when others were clearly still writing in February's...). But whatever. i re-post it here for my reference only. If you don't like my re-posting it, I may send some cannibals over to your house for dinner some night. And by the way, despite the lurid blurbs on the poster, the entire movie is fictional. No actual cannibalism occurs--it's all staged. Gotta love the exploitative huckster-ness of it all. Ha!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Cannibal%20Holocaust_zps2rpe4ind.jpg)
CRIMSON PEAK:
I am pretty sure I have this already--and even though I thought the film was visually stunning (as is the poster--in my opinion), the storyline was not that interesting. Oh well. I bid an unlucky $13 for it any way---and won.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/crimson_peak_teaser_SD03851_L_zpsbprbk1qk.jpg)
JOHN C HOLMES: SUPERSTAR:
This is another of those "What was I thinking?" items. I have not bought as many lately--which is good--but it still happens (this being the case in point). I figured this would be worth some $$ to someone. I paid too much for it (in my opinion), but I could probably sell it for more than i paid. (Hopefully). But will i ever get around to selling it? Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/John%20C%20Holmes%20Superstar_zpsxmasyxtu.jpg)
CHAPPIE:
Not quite the "what was I thinking" item like the Holmes poster above, but still along the lines of "I didn't really need this", it's the poster for last summer's "CHAPPIE". I never saw the film, but the previews looked interesting and I recall someone posted images of the poster(s?) on the recent acquisition thread back at the time. I liked them. This poster was recently at auction. I watched it, but have no memory of bidding on it. In fact, i didn't realize I had or that it was mine until I got the invoice. $4? Okay...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/chappie_blocks_style_teaser_ES00449_T_zpslyxkn7xg.jpg)
TED:
Another item i didn't really need. I liked TED (and TED 2, although not as much). I didn't need a TED poster, but out of all of them for both films, this is the one I liked best. I saw this at auction--didn't need it so I only bid $5. Sold. I was surprised--but pleasantly so--even though I don't need this.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/ted_teaser_couch_style_dupe1_WC02189_C_zpszme9yg1t.jpg)
CONAN THE BARBARIAN:
I got a rough copy of this a few years back. I picked this one up as a replacement. That's pretty much the story. I did see the flick (in theaters---yes, i'm THAT old), but it wasn't my thing. But it is kind of along the lines of my 60s "Hercules"/sword and sandal/peplum movies that i collect, so I bought the CONAN posters as well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/conan_the_barbarian_SD04903_L_zpseouk0vdn.jpg)
THE TWILIGHT PEOPLE:
THE TWILIGHT PEOPLE is a cheesy bad 60s ripoff of THE ISLAND OF DR MOREAU made by the same group of Filipino filmmakers that made the BLOOD ISLAND films. It's not anything to write home about--but it has the distinction of being the first movie I ever saw on DVD. Ha! In honor of that alone, I have been trying to get a copy of the poster for a while. While I might have one already, I don't think I do. I do not like the twilight-y hues of the poster...it makes the artwork difficult to see. I didn't really need this poster either, but apparently this one is a bit of a rarity. I didn't even notice when I was first bidding on it (I just looked at the grading--didn't read the full description). It's a rare rolled version---it was never folded, which is almost unheard of in anything pre-1980s.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/twilight_people_ES00328_L_zps8ytteqc5.jpg)
WITCHCRAFT / THE HORROR OF IT ALL (combo):
Do I have this already? i think I might, but didn't want to chance NOT having one when this came up. The poster is for a combo re-release of both films, but this time there's a gimmick involved to get patrons to go to the show that is prominently displayed on the poster...a free WITCH DETECTOR! Zowie! I want one. How groovy cool.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Witchcraft%20Horror%20of%20it%20all_zpsn057pkgf.jpg)
NIGHTMARE CASTLE:
I've never seen this old flick, but I am a fan of Barbara Steele and Euro horrors from the 60s. Came across this and thought it would be a nice addition. It was NOT something I was searching for---but neither was the John Holmes poster. But this has far more of a chance of being hung on my walls than the Holmes poster ever will. Holmes is for re-sale. This is a keeper.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Nightmare%20Castle_zpsugmxfdpy.jpg)
DRUMS OF TAHITI:
Hot diggity! Another vintage poster for a 50s 3D flick! I've never seen it, of course...but I am a sucker for gimmicks and 3D (especially from the 50s) is one of the all-time best gimmicks. While the poster doesn't play up the 3D-ness of the movie (if any), I am still in-your-face glad to have it! Yippie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/drums_of_tahiti_d_SD04927_L_zps9kvm7ocn.jpg)
That's it. Ho-hum. I'll be back in mid-March. Stay groovy.
CHEERS!

^ Yes I like the 3D Drums poster above. With all those flames, the dress must surely loosen up even more

Some killer pick-ups there! Congrats on some good hauls.

Hello everyone. Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! I am back for my usual visit. I waited two extra days (NOT that anyone noticed. ha!) so i could be timely and St. Patrick-y (although the posters are mostly devoid of green... Pinch them---if you can! Ha!).( I'm actually writing this on the 9th...getting it ready for posting. I don't have much to share---but that can change in the week between now and the 17th. ) (EEEK! It actually has changed. I'm going to have to do TWO posts again...)
I haven't had much luck shopping lately.(I certainly have not found any leprechaun's to grant me three wishes---or a pot o' gold to buy whatever i'd like!) I had those 11 other items from my quick post last time---but nothing spectacular there either. What I did get continues to drive home a lesson I CAN'T seem to learn--to stop buying stuff I don't need and to stop buying stuff I already have! Jeepers!!
Still, I am OK with the things that have been getting away. I had a super great year last year and I already started the year off with a great poster (WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST--which I am still stunned i won). A certain someone (you know who you are) outbid me at the last minute on something recently when I stepped away from the computer for at the wrong time--and he won! But, as i told him, I am THRILLED that it went to him. Sure, I'd like to have had it---but I have so many posters, and this guy is just getting started. He deserves it!
Anyway, before we slog our way through the latest posters, let's say hello to a few folks:
Steve and Rosa: I am so glad you like the vintage 3D poster for DRUMS OF TAHITI...or just the dress (that appears to be falling off. Oh my!). It's not the most exciting of posters, but I am happy to have it. LOVE 3D---and vintage is awesome.
Filmarmada: Thank you for the compliment and welcome aboard APF. I apologize for my delayed response. I am a recovering APF addict and try to limit my visits to only once a month (but with that last post...well, I had a momentary relapse. Ha!). I am sooooo very glad you've joined the APF party and are participating in it as well. Welcome. I WILL be visiting your thread later today. I've peeked already and am very impressed. You are already a fine addition to the regular gang on here.
Okay--not to get too excited, but it's poster time...
BIG EYES(Quad):
I wanted to see this movie, but never got around to it. Looking at the quad, i was startled to discover it is a Tim Burton movie. Really? i had no idea. Now i really want to see it. I picked up this quad cheap. I was aiming for this, but it was something to pad out the shipping costs. I didn't need this and probably should have saved my money...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Big%20Eyes%20quad_zpskhiwnlpc.jpg)
POLTERGEIST 2015 (Quad) :
Another thing I didn't need--just got to pad out the shipping costs. Picked this up super cheap as well. The new POLTERGEIST was no improvement on the original (and actually, it sort of played as a quasi-sequel/remake...). Whatever.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Poltergeist%20quad_zpskcnwgqjb.jpg)
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES:
This third quad is the quad I was actually going for. i also got this quite cheaply. I never saw this flick either---it came and went much too quickly (a bad sign? Was it any good?). Of the designs for the poster, i liked this group poster best and was delighted to get this for less than $2 (shipping was another story---ugh!). I need to track down the film though. Too bad it was a bomb. i really was looking forward to it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/PRIDE%20and%20PREDJUDICE%20and%20Zombies%20quad_zpsrhlui2mx.jpg)
THE SLASHER:
I am reasonably sure I have this---but a quick flip through my thread does not show a copy from the last year or so. Still, I am almost certain I have one. I REALLY NEED to do an inventory of my posters ASAP. I finally have a space I can use to do so in---just have to dig all of my posters out and get them there. The reason for the interest in this poster is because of the history of this film. It was made/exhibited as intended . Later it was re-edited with porno inserts and had the title changed to "Penetration". I do NOT think I have that poster yet (trying to get both posters). I've never seen either version, but for the x-rated one, it must be strange to Farley Granger and Sylva Koscina headlining a porn film. I can hardly think of anything less appealing. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/slasher_dupe3_JC10730_C_zpsoizqfwhb.jpg)
THE LOCH NESS HORROR:
This is a title I've been wanting for years. I finally got one this past week...again! OOPS! I did NOT remember that I also got one about a year ago--finally! I wonder how many times I've FINALLY gotten one over the years? Hopefully it's just been this one and the one last year. But--ARGH! I hate to spend money on a duplicate.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/loch_ness_horror_ES02331_T_zpsdpwjskj7.jpg)
THE VAMPIRES NIGHT ORGY:
Here is another that I think I might already have---but am not sure. And it's nothing exciting whether or not I already have it. VAMPIRES NIGHT ORGY is not a very good film. The most compelling thing about it was the little town they used as the location. But, if nothing else, I thought Rosa might get a minor kick out of this poster as it features a total role reversal.... Here we have a vampire woman carrying out a scantily clad young man who appears to have fainted. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/vampires_night_orgy_ES02331_T_zps5fwux54l.jpg)
GREAT WHITE a.k.a THE LAST SHARK (Italian 2F):
I dig my JAWS rip-offs. GREAT WHITE is a doozie --possibly the king of the rip-offs! It was such a rip-off that Universal Studios sued...and WON! I remember reading about the lawsuit in the paper when the film was playing and I RUSHED out to see the movie before it was pulled from the theater (and it was pulled---it did not make it to the end of the week. Something else was playing in its place the last 2 days or so). I have the three US GREAT WHITE one sheets and had seen an international version of the poster (different art altogether). But I had never seen this completely different version until recently. It's not the best shark poster ever---but I couldn't let it slip away.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Great%20White%20Italian%202f_zpsan13adj4.jpg)
MULHOLLAND DR. (Styles A and B):
I already had single-sided copies of the posters for MULHOLLAD DR. I'd gotten them back around the time I saw the movie. At that time, I found it difficult to find any double-sided copies and thought that maybe the distributor had only made single-sided? I bought them (the single-sided ones) from a dealer who swore up and down they were legit originals. I framed them as I LOVE the movie (MULHOLLAND DR., to me, is David Lynch's best work to date.), but in the back of my mind, I was always questioning their authenticity. I hadn't actively looked for double-sided versions in ages...and these came along (as a set). I got these to replace the single-sided ones I have. Hooray! These, at least, have frames already waiting for them.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Mulholland%20Dr%20A_zps0jww41ul.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Mulholland%20Dr%20B_zpsvmrii8bk.jpg)
MUNSTERS GO HOME:
At last, another poster off of my bucket list! Of all of the posters in this posting, this one i am truly ecstatic about! I know...it's just "The Munsters" movie. And it wasn't even a very good movie. And it has a fake Marilyn. Big deal. Hello? It's STILL "The Munsters". Hot diggity. This has been on my want list for decades. I just erased it off of the list! Yahoo! It's MINE! Groovy!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Munsters%20Go%20Home_zpsrqjodxai.jpg)
That's 10. Not much excitement there....but i DO have more coming to share later today (NOT much to get excited in that batch either. Ho-hum.)
Are you wearing green? If not, PINCH yourself for me!
CHEERS!
-
Hi MAGG, one of the images isn't showing, I like the slasher. I notice the occasional non shlockorama like MULHOLLAND DR. Are you expanding away from your core?
-
Thanks Steve! I got it fixed in time...before the error was set in stone. As for Mulholland Dr...it may not be true shockarama material, but it has shockarama elements. I have my taste in posters, but if something else grabs my attention, i go for it. Thanks for the error heads up. Good night. It's 1 a.m. I'll be back in the morning...zzzzzzz
Cheers
-
Haha re Vampires night what a good one. I certainly get a good kick out of it ;)
-
Hi Rosa....I musty get to bed. It's long past my bedtime...
Glad you stopped by. I'll have more later today, but I was thinking about you with the VAMPIRE poster. I know you like seeing the male as victim from time to time...but even that is a little over the top. Ha!
Cheers!
-

But aren't they always the victims hehehe >:D
Just kidding. Equality is not about equal violence for all. But of course you all know ;)
-
It's later....hopefully you've put some green on so you can't be pinched any more today! (Unless you are like Steve and are purposely NOT wearing any green so you CAN be pinched! Ha!)
Rosa: Touche!
Anyway, here are more lackluster additions to this month's lackluster posting. Hmm.
AMITYVILLE: THE AWAKENING:
I'm not really wild about this poster. It's not spooky enough. However, i am a sucker for all things AMITYVILLE HORROR. I've seen/bought all of the movies (the last 3 or 4 direct-to-video ones were just god-awful...worse than AMITYVILLE CURSE!), read all (?) of the books. I'm not sure why--except that I hate to "miss out" on things. I want to see what the filmmakers come up with next (although it's usually not much. But the more they try the cheesier they seem to get. AMITYVILLE 3D anyone? Ha!)). This film is no exception, I'm sure. And I say that before it's even been released. It was supposed to come out in January 2015. Then got held back to April of this year...and literally minutes after I bought this poster promoting it's upcoming April release, I learn that it has been bumped back to a January 2017 date! Jeepers! So this poster was bound for the trash heap when I bought it. Ha! Will the film ever come out? If they wait until January like they now say, there is still time to come up with a BETTER poster. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Amityville%20The%20awakening_zpsbq7a4jqf.jpg)
BIRD OF PARADISE:
I saw this cheesy drama/romance movie on TV as a kid...and it strangely stuck with me all of these years (perhaps because **SPOILER ALERT** the woman...or maybe the whole couple...yes, i think it was the couple...jump into a volcano together because the woman was slated to be a sacrifice to the volcano god anyway. Ha!). Not that it's all that tiki-esque (there are a few tiki idols on the right and the volcano in the background), but if/when i ever get a little tiki bar in my home (if I ever get back into a home again), I thought this would be a nice addition to it. Really, that's the reason I bought it---as decor for a tiki bar. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Bird%20of%20Paradise_zpssd06v00l.jpg)
MORGAN THE PIRATE:
Here's a poster for an old Steve ("Hercules") Reeves poster from the tail-end of the Italian peplum/sword&sandal/Hercules era. This, of course, is a pirate movie, but whatever. I got it because I do like (most of) the films from the genre (as bad as they are...but I have not seen this film yet). But I already HAD this poster. WHY did I need another copy? it's not even that great of a poster. ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Morgan%20the%20Pirate_zpsm11vr68q.jpg)
MA AND PA KETTLE AT HOME:
I have never seen any of the MA & PA KETTLE movies (although I have the DVD set somewhere with all of the films). I once wrote a short story years ago in school and one of the comments was that it reminded someone of "THE EGG AND I"--which i had never heard of. "The Egg And I" was a novel, that was turned into a film (Sounds kind of like the inspiration for GREEN ACRES too---a couple from the city movie to the country to run a farm and meet a bunch of crazy country folks). MA & PA KETTLE were supporting characters in that and were so popular with audiences, they were spun off into their own film series. Altogether, with "THE EGG AND I", there were a total of 10 MA & PA KETTLE films. I got a poster for one a while back (THE KETTLES IN THE OZARKS"). When I saw this one, I thought why not go for it?Now I only have 8 posters to go to get the whole series. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Ma%20and%20Pa%20Kettle%20at%20Home_zpsstzwxbw3.jpg)
EQUINOX:
ARGH! Why, o' why, o' WHY did I buy this?I worked last Sunday and had placed snipe bids for Heritage before leaving that morning on a variety of posters. This was NOT one of them. After years of wanting this one, I had scored one last year. I didn't need one any more. However, when I had a free moment on Sunday, i stupidly logged on and this poster was being auctioned off at that very moment...and suddenly I was in a crazed bidding frenzy until i won it. OOPS. WHY did I do that? Argh...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Equinox_zpssulb57bi.jpg)
THE CHILD (Italian 2F):
I already had a copy of this that I saw and bought before looking at it properly. I had never seen one before and loved the ghoulish zombie imagery...and didn't see all of the rips, tears and tape. OOPS! I was quite surprised to stumble on this second copy in much better condition. Hooray!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/La%20Casa%20Delga%20Zombi_zpssbxkz0qn.jpg)
THE PRINCE AND THE NATURE GIRL:
After the fiasco of the EQUINOX poster and the realization of what a stupid thing I'd done bidding up and up and up on something I already had and getting stuck with it, you'd think I'd have learned my lesson. Right? True--most of what I'd placed bids on that day i did not win (the two MULHOLLAND DR. posters were the exception). But I didn't need another EQUINOX. Anyway, later in the day I stupidly found a moment to log in again---and this poster, which was not even on my radar to begin with, was up for bid. I have no idea why I bid--but I did...and the frenzy was on again...until, d'oh! It was mine. Oh well...at least Steve will enjoy it...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Prince%20and%20the%20Nature%20Girl_zpsobgfoexe.jpg)
KING KONG ESCAPES (Spanish):
You know I love my KING KONG...(the original is STILL the BEST)...so i couldn't pass this Spanish poster up as I did not have this one in my collection. It's not so great, but what the heck. It shows Kong getting an air lift and Mecha-Kong causing havoc. To this day i am surprised the Japanese didn't utilize Kong in more of their monster movies.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/King%20Kong%20Escapes%20spanish_zpsi35xkcf0.jpg)
KING KONG (Spanish re-release):
Speaking of KING KONG, here's a Spanish re-release poster i did not have yet. The poster is nice, although it seems to have borrowed inspiration from the poster for KONGA (note the double-decker bus for instance). Still a cool poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/King%20Kong%20Spanish_zpsn9sxdrvp.jpg)
That's it for this month's posters.
And in late-breaking personal news (feel free to skip until the **** line below), I may have to curtail my poster addiction altogether (for at least 2 years or so). OH MY STARS! My life has veered onto a path i did not anticipate. It's nothing major, just unexpected. Due to the huge tax liability for selling my house, I've had to rethink selling my other house. I am now planning on moving back into it for 2 years (around the end of May/beginning of June) before selling it to minimize the tax liability when i do sell it. That will be great in a sense, as i'll be able to move out of my cramped and cluttered shack-o-rama. I'll be able to go through, document and organize my posters--FINALLY! However, without that $1200 a month in rent coming in, I'll have to cough up that amount myself to cover the mortgage. Plus i'll now have PG&E, water, sewage, garbage fees. i'll have to hire a gardener (I am sooooo not handy outside). Etc. EEEK!. I'll also need to cut back on my student loan repayment. I was paying $1000 a month ($500 to the federal loans and $500 to a private loan). Those will have to be scaled way, way back. My little trips I've been taking (to keep my sanity will trapped in my little place and while trapped in Fresno---and the trips were mostly to Los Angeles and/or the Bay Area) will also have to be cut back or eliminated. I do have 2 in April (one to the Bay Area and one to the Central Coast) that I am committed to, as well as a longer road trip this summer (up to Washington with a stay at my mom's place on Whidbey Island) and a hugely expensive trip to Europe next spring (2017). All of those involve other people and I have already committed myself to them. But beyond that, i'll be stuck in Fresno. UGH! I know this is all piddly in the bigger scheme of things and there are many people worse off than me... It's just...waaaagh! Not fun.
But dead last on my list of expenses will have to be posters. Groan... That has been one of my greatest joys while stuck in this hell hole I'm living in now---posters and my little trips. I'm just going to have to cut them out altogether---at least for the minimum of 2 years until i sell my house. Blah!
************************
Anyway, i'll be back next month sometime. It won't be on the 15th. That's my birthday and I'll be on one of those mini-trips that day (Central Coast...waking up in one of the cave rooms at the Madonna Inn---I've always wanted to stay there!). So, I'll be posting my April thing either the 13th or around the 17th/18th.
Hopefully I've had a chance to visit around APF today and visited every thread I've been needing/wanting to visit. (I've been previewing threads all month as my subscription alerts have sent me notices of updates. Oh my! Some mighty FINE looking paper out there you've all been gathering! Zowie!) I'll see you all in a month or so. If you want to chat or just say hello, etc., feel free to contact me away from the thread. Have a groovy Easter and I'll see you in April.
CHEERS!

Agree with you, MAGG, tho, in this case, I wouldn't call it "inspiration."
Could that Spanish RR for King Kong have been any more blatant in ripping off Reynold Brown's terrific art that he created for Konga? (aside from a few, minor building changes)
It shows the complete lack of original creativity, in this case. And how easy it can be to just "pluck and paste" someone else's art. hitself eyeroll

Ha! It IS KONGA!!! I should have looked at a KONGA before even mentioning it. Too funny. I still dig it---even more now. How BALLSY of the Spanish film industry to just steal Brown's art like that.

I'd call it lazy. :P
bigmike showed this other example, so i'm sure it happens with some regularity. Your Kong poster would fit well in this thread, too.

AWESOME! Thanks for the link...and I HAVE that Turkish FRIDAY THE 13TH sequel. Two "stolen art" posters. Ha! I know it's "lazy" of the film distributors to do that, but I think it's funny. I especially like the one that was re-purposed for F13th 5. I'd have probably never seen the art otherwise.
-
I'm liking Bird of Paradise thumbsup.gif
Good luck with all the upheavals. I reckon you'll still be buying some posters along the way, as it is fun
-
Hi Steve. I'm glad you like the BIRD OF PARADISE poster. Thanks. I've got a few weeks to go before the move (late May or early June), so I'll be buying until then. I'm stupid that way. Cheers!
-
GOGO!!! I always have to pick one or 2, so I don't swoon all over your post. That being said, the winner was a toughy but clearly The Spanish Kong Escapes!
I really like this one. Loch Ness is cool, AGAIN!!!Finally ...wait..... DOH!
Congrats on everything, your hauls are as mixed as mine are!
-
Hi Chris! Thank you for popping by. It's always nice to see you. Glad you liked the KING KONG ESCAPES. My favorites this month are the MUNSTERS poster...and the two repeats (LOCH NESS HORROR and CASA DEGLI ZOMBI (THE CHILD). Your thread has been quiet this month (I checked it out...I was the last visitor...in February!) Perhaps i just need to visit your site? I'll do that later this evening (right now I've got to trudge off to the laundromat... Blah!).
Cheers!

I was working on an update about a week ago, and lost power....doh. LOST MY ENTIRE UPDATE....sigh. I have around 45ish I need to add to the site. I am also making a few "pricey" purchases in the next few weeks. Probably gonna take a pause on EMP, buy the list of stuff from a few sellers here, and pickup a flat file. Tell you what I will post a poster I picked up that I have not shared here yet in my thread! Give me a few!!
-
Just about to head off to do the wash. Groan. But I'll check out your page when I get things going. (That will at least be something to do while I wait). I'm looking forward to your latest! Yippie! CHEERS!
-
That, 'King Kong Escapes' is killer! The Mecha-Kong looks like something off of 'Futurama!'
-
Filmarmada---what a delight to see you visiting my thread once again. Thank you for the nod towards my Spanish KING KONG ESCAPES. You are the second person to comment on it. It's funny that THAT poster (out of the 20 I posted on the 17th) was singled out by both you and Chris (Gingerman) as, to me, it's a less interesting poster. I just got it because it was KONG related. But you are right about Mecha Kong looking like he escaped from Futurama. Ha! Cheers!
-
Surprise! It's NOT the middle of the month yet. In fact, it's less than a week since my last poster posting. Oh man...I have totally relapsed. This addiction to posters is stronger than i thought. I can NOT stop looking/buying. It's all consuming. UGH!.. I was working on my mid-April posting and it kept growing and growing and growing--and not even a week has gone by since my St. Patrick's Day post and I have already acquired 10 more posters. UGH! I am out of control again.
Anyway...I'm posting these now. I'll start again on my April post (which, as I write this, I am thrilled to say has NO POSTERS on it for the moment. Let's see how long that lasts though).
ILSA: HAREM KEEPER OF THE OIL SHIEKS:
I already posted this one in the new acquisitions thread (for March), but I am posting it here for MY reference. It's the 2nd of the infamous ILSA flicks. I think I might already have one...but wasn't 100% sure. I KNOW I have the first one and the third one for sure...but I was not certain about this one. So...got it! I also have the one sheet for WANDA THE WICKED WARDEN...which, through the magic of dubbing and re-titling, eventually became ILSA THE WICKED WARDEN (WANDA starred Dyanne Thorne...Ilsa herself. Very similar movies, so why not?). Hooray! I have all of the US one sheets (but I do need to track down an Italian 2F of the first one...just stunning. Dang! This quest never seems to end...)
T mentioned something in the March acquisitions thread about passing on the nazi stuff. I totally understand his feelings, but it's not that the first Ilsa movie deals with nazis that is the fascination for me. I separate exploitation stuff like Ilsa from the real atrocities of WWII. Ilsa is over the top. Not only has Ilsa been a concentration camp commandant in the first film, but was a harem keeper, commandant of a men's prison in Siberia, madame of a massage parlor/prostitution ring and the warden of a woman's prison. And she's a woman! (How many female commandants were there?)...AND let's not forget that Ilsa goes from the 1940s to the late 1970s in the different films withOUT aging nor is there any explanation of how she survived her death in the first film. It's just total exploitation cheese and sleaze--not real at all. If I had to sit through a "regular" World War II drama (such as "Force 10 From Navarone" or "Midway" or "Run Silent, Run Deep" etc.) . I'd be bored to tears and if it were a documentary about the atrocities, i'd be utterly disturbed and horrified and probably walk out. Fictional violence and horror I can stand--real stuff bothers me to no end. I apologize though if my tastes offend anyone. Besides--this poster is for the 2nd film in the series. No nazis here---but we still have Ilsa as a harem keeper! Ha! Such crazy sleaze.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Ilsa%202_zpsagqu4dfv.jpg)
ZOMBIE (Italian 2F):
Not too long ago, I stumbled upon an Italian release poster for "ZOMBIE" that I had never seen before. I snapped it up. Imagine my surprise when I came across a 2nd one. I should have known better, but i went for it any way--and bought it. The first one was super cheap. This one not so much. Coupled with the shipping costs (it's in...well, Italy!), I paid a lot more for it than I should have. UGH! Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Zombi%202_zpspfgzwpyu.jpg)
HUSH...HUSH, SWEET CHARLOTTE:
This movie was supposed to have been a follow up reuniting of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford after their WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE success. Crawford pulled out and was replaced by Olivia DeHavilland. I don't think this film is nearly as good as BABY JANE, but it has its fans.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Hush%20Hush%20Sweet%20Charlotte_zpsl0rnjxsh.jpg)
DAY OF THE ANIMALS:
One of the JAWS-inspired animal attack films of the 70s, I've always liked DAY OF THE ANIMALS.I already had this poster. I just got it again as it came with next poster in the same lot.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Day%20of%20the%20Animals_zpsnmijb7ib.jpg)
GRIZZLY:
It's JAWS on land! GRIZZLY was a surprise low budget hit. It didn't really work for me, but it did inspire some ripoffs of its own (and a never-finished sequel...look for the work print on youtube and be amazed by the all-star cast. I'm NOT kidding! Here check it out yourself: https://youtu.be/eyZATyPp_ew but skip to the 3:50 mark to avoid an annoying and long introduction by the bozo who posted it). I did want the poster though. I think I have it, but have never been sure...so I got it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Grizzly_zpsfgyfp2ct.jpg)
LOUISIANA HUSSY:
This would have been further down the list than it is as i have wanted this poster for years. I love me my bad movies. I was in a "bad girl" phase a while back and bought this movie along with several others titles (SHANTY TRAMP, COMMON-LAW WIFE, etc.). While LOUISIANA HUSSY wasn't the hoot that SHANTY TRAMP was, I still dug the poster. I bought this during a Heritage Auction I had a chance to log into briefly while at work,. It had NOT been on my watch list (I now remember why) and I wanted it. I spent a good amount on it...and then later realized...ugh! It has a Canadian Censor stamp on it. That's a deal breaker for me, darn it all. UGH! Once I saw mention of the stamp, i remembered that I HAD seen it listed, but did not save it to my list because of the damn stamp. GRRR! Oh well...the hunt goes on. But what a wonderfully trashy poster otherwise!

ENTER THE DEVIL:
"Then it's too late for exorcism" screams the tag line!!! Zowie! That grabbed my attention. i'm a sucker for Exorcist knock-offs. However, this little regional rarity was released in 1972...before "The Exorcist" hit the screens. The book was a big best seller by 1972 though and the film version was in production---which I'm sure got the attention of the marketing people since, from what i understand about this movie, this flick does not contain any exorcisms at all (Well, it is TOO LATE for exorcisms after all). Instead this appears to be some forgotten flick about a satanic cult off in the desert somewhere. It's a smaller size than most one sheets, measuring 22 x 34.5. Hmm. Still it has interesting yet cheap looking horror art for an obviously low budget production...with equally financially limited distribution. It's nothing too exciting--but more of a little curio. I think I actually have the movie somewhere (From Sinister Cinema--sure it's a crappy copy). I'll have to dig it out and give it a watch. Or not.

TEENAGE PSYCHO MEETS BLOODY MARY aka THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES WHO STOPPED LIVING AND BECAME MIXED-UP ZOMBIES:
While I do NOT as yet have an original INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES... poster, i was gleefully thrilled to grab this re-titled re-release poster. Even though the poster is a cheaply designed mess, it is a joy of exploitation and gimmickry. WORLD'S WEIRDEST MOVIE! In BLOODY VISION--Not 3D but real flesh and blood monsters alive in the theater. No one will be safe! They might get you! WOW!! How fun. I read up on this and they actually had theater personnel running out into the audience wearing cheap masks at one point in the film. That wopuld have been a hoot to see. This was one gimmick poster i could not pass up. NOT for SISSIES!

KING KONG ESCAPES (British one sheet):
OOooo...another crazy KONG poster for the KONG collection. The Toho Kongs were so hokey looking. Here he is. stomping a city, battling helicopters and hurling a tree ---fierce, right? Just look at that silly face. Too funny.. He looks more like the "Bumble"/Abominable Snowman from "RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER" than the mighty KONG. Set against the sunny yellow background that makes the image pop, I find I really like this poster. It makes me smile...it's so goofy-wonderful. I'm gonna have to dig out those Japanese Kongs and give them another watch.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/King%20Kong%20Escapes%20British_zpsf9fnf1np.jpg)
RODAN: Wow! Wow! Wow! So, I will probably never have an original GODZILLA. Last year, i was lucky enough to score a GIGANTIS THE FIRE MONSTER (aka GODZILLA #2) to replace the one I had stupidly sold off a few years before. as well as a few other GODZILLA titles. But getting the poster for the debut of RODAN is exciting too. Whoo hoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Rodan_zpsgy8cwhtg.jpg)
That's 10. Now that the slate is being wiped clean, hopefully I can get better control of myself. ARGH!
I hope you are all well.
CHEERS!
-
Let it all out Magg, you're safe here thumbsup.gif
That Enter the Devil is killer! The cave perspective thing is really bang on, very nice art for a B movie!
and Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte has some Saul Bass thing going there, eh? :)
-
Crazy Vick... Thanks for the note and I'm glad you liked a poster or two from today's post. After i stuck up my post and was determined to only buy posters I NEED from now on, i went to the movies (10 CLOVERFIELD LANE). When I got home, UGH!!! I found I was the proud owner of 2 more posters. ARGH! They were snipes I "won" that i had totally forgotten about. I can't seem to "win" in my fight to NOT buy extraneous stuff. Ha!
-
I am liming the Hussy and also Rodan, oh and the boob grabbing one too thumbsup.gif
-
Thanks for "liming" them. People used to use lime to cover bad odors. Do they stink that bad? Ha! Thanks for popping by. It's always interesting to see what you'll post. Ha! CHEERS!
-
Haha, whoops, I've only had a smart phone for less than a year and typing on it I still need to get the hang of
-
Good to see your collection Shawn, there is always something there that makes me smile..it is so you!!
:)

+1. Well said.
My faves in this lot are the Grizzly and Animals. It seems like you have quite a compilation for flicks like that, eh?
-
Hi there. Thank you all for visiting.
Steve : No worries about the typo. I know your hands have other things to fiddle with than those tiny keyboards on phone (hee hee).
Rosa : Such a pleasure to have you stop and grace my thread with your presence. I'm glad something on the post made you smile (my guess is the doofy KONG poster? That is so silly looking. How could that possible inspire terror and awe? Ha!).
Brandon : It's a delight to see you here visiting too. Thanks for stopping by. Yes, i do like my creature attack movies (realistic animals--such as GRIZZLY, DAY OF THE ANIMALS--or giant monsters -- i.e. KING KONG ESCAPES). Good eye for spotting that.
Here are the two posters I "won" last night via sniping (which I had forgotten about). I just want them off the slate so I can try and jump start the promise to myself to buy only things i NEED. Fingers crossed I can stick to it. In the meantime, here are these:
THE INVINCIBLE GLADIATOR and THE GIANT OF METROPOLIS combo:
Hmm. Well, maybe I DID "need" this one. I have a collection of those old Hercules-type movies from the 60s. This is a double-bill, but both films were first run here in the US (at least I think so. I've never seen US posters for either separately). I might actually have this poster already--or maybe I've just seen it before and was outbid? I have no idea... But now that it's on my thread, i'll KNOW i have it if I encounter one again.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Invincible%20Gladiator%20and%20Giant%20of%20Metropolis_zpsfmdrzslw.jpg)
THE BRASS BOTTLE:
I've been meaning to track down this flick. THE BRASS BOTTLE was a genie in the bottle tale that starred Barbara Eden from 1964. It's relative success as well as that of BEWITCHED paved the way for the I DREAM OF JEANNIE television series---with Eden (who was NOT the genie in BRASS BOTTLE) an almost natural casting choice. I'm curious about the fiulm and the poster is fun and whimsical...I didn't need it but it's still nice.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Brass%20Bottle_zpszdvjrnme.jpg)
Okay--now the slate is really, REALLY clean. There is one poster on my snipe list--it's on my list of things I "need". If i get it--great. It'll be part of my April posting. If I don't it them--no big deal. But then there is this weekend's big HA auction. EEEEK! I may have to go snipe some things there. i work this weekend so sniping's my best bet. i hope i LOSE them all. Ha!
Anyway--thanks for visiting.
CHEERS!
-
I want a brass bottle... and the poster too thumbsup.gif
-
Zowie! I'm surprised you didn't want a "Lucious Lulu Porter-International Dancing Star" as well!
-
Once again, an eclectic mix added to your Poster Zoo, there MAGG!
;D
-
Zowie! I'm surprised you didn't want a "Lucious Lulu Porter-International Dancing Star" as well!
I thought she was the genie. With Barbara Eden as well, the movie sounds worth a watch for the actresses alone
-
Looks like Tony Randall might have dislocated his thumb, getting that bottle open, to unleash Lulu. ;D

-
He's just practising making a dog shadow with his hand
-
WooF! imbecile.gif
-
Jeff---what a catch. That thumb does look like those photoshop blunders you sometimes see these days. Ha!
Steve--Yes, Lulu is the genie...two genies for the price of one.
-
Agree with you, MAGG, tho, in this case, I wouldn't call it "inspiration."
Could that Spanish RR for King Kong have been any more blatant in ripping off Reynold Brown's terrific art that he created for Konga? (aside from a few, minor building changes)
It shows the complete lack of original creativity, in this case. And how easy it can be to just "pluck and paste" someone else's art. hitself eyeroll
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/King%20Kong%20Spanish_zpsn9sxdrvp.jpg) (http://www.emovieposter.com/images/moviestars/AA160216/550/konga_SD04906_L.jpg)
After getting the wonderfully blatant ripoff of the KONGA art for a Spanish re-release of KING KONG, I spied yet another KING KONG poster that made use of it. (NO, i did NOT buy it...but I am thinking about it.) The reverse image and black/red coloring almost made it look like a different KONG poster altogether. I took a closer look (always interested in KONG) and realized it was another blatant use of the KONGA art again with some biplanes thrown in. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Kong%20Konga%20version%202_zps53charnw.jpg)
-
Shawn, when you say reverse image, do you mean that the art was flipped on this other poster?
-
OOPS! Yes, look again...I corrected the image error. You should be able to see it now.
-
Wow.. that sure is another blatant re-use of the Konga (Brown) art.
-
I like it though...HA! Better than the Spanish KONGA ripoff. I'm actually considering it but not at the price it's at now.
-
I like it though...HA! Better than the Spanish KONGA ripoff. I'm actually considering it but not at the price it's at now.
Is it super expensive?
And what year is it from? Sometime in the 60's maybe?
-
60s...yes, but no exact date. I saw it for $125 or so. Too high for it but i still like it.
-
Yeah.. it's got no printer's or distributor's info on it.
And they didnt even bother to put Merian C Cooper's name on it. Doh.gif
-
Hi there! It's NOT the middle of April yet. In fact, April is just getting started. Why am I posting early? Well, it's because it's the anniversary of my own thread. Jeepers! It was one year ago today (April 2, 2015) that I started this thread. And, zowie! Look at how it has grown. 28 pages of poster images and your comments! That is amazing to me. It's been a super duper year---and I've loved every minute of it. Thanks for welcoming and including me here.
I have a new crop of posters to share too. In fact, i have more posters than i planned on having for this post. OOPS. I bought several posters I did NOT need...In fact, the real shock-a-rama thing about this poster show posting is how non-shock-a-rama it is for the most part.
Quickly though...
JEFF: I noticed there was no printer info or NSS info on the poster, but the lack of credit for Cooper totally slipped by me. Duh! Good eye.
Okay--poster time:
HOT NEWS:
From 1953, here's another obscure movie I'd never heard of until seeing the one sheet. I had wanted a copy of this while working at The Fresno Bee (newspaper) as a writer a few years back. I may not have a cubicle any longer---but I still wanted it for old time's sake.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/HOT%20NEWS_zpsrhz0wcga.jpg)
STORMBOUND:
I have to say that some of Jeff's recent purchases inspired me to get this one. I was particularly drawn to the painting of the man. The coloring reminded me of those in Jeff's collection. This hails from 1951 and is for a film I know nothing about.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Stormbound_zpszvztfqki.jpg)
JUST THIS ONCE:
I'd never heard of this, but thought the art was delightful in itself. Here are Peter Lawford and Janet Leigh from 1952.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Just%20This%20Once_zpsu0cs52qr.jpg)
NO DOWN PAYMENT:
Another obscurity I know nothing about...I just liked the art on this 1957 poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/No%20Down%20Payment_zpszwnpck90.jpg)
HOOKED:
Yet another obscurity, this time from 1960. I picked this up because the exploitative captions on the poster were delightfully soap opera-y "shocking". Ha! I've never heard of the movie, but it sounds like a camp classic.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Hooked_zpslq3bzljo.jpg)
THE FAT SPY:
I am reasonably sure I have one of these already, but just to be sure... It's Jayne Mansfield in one of her less than stellar films after her celebrity status began to fade. Co-starring a then up-and-coming Phyllis Diller! A low budget romp made in Florida--part spy flick, part "Beach Party" ripoff, but all BAD! Ha! Jayne is overly exuberant in a role she is far too old (and far too post-pregnant) for. Just a complete mess. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Fat%20Spy_zpslqklu98x.jpg)
WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER?:
From 1957, here is Jayne at the beginning of her career when she was promoted as the next big thing (or would that be "next big things"? I'll defer to Steve for that answer.). I'm pretty sure I have this already as well, but...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/WILL%20success%20spoil%20rock%20hunter_zpszxm2ifzt.jpg)
SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS (2011 re-release):
I got the original release poster last year (FINALLY), but I have long been hoping to score a copy of this 2011 re-release poster. When I saw that this was playing at my local theater, i gleefully rushed to see it (knowing it would NOT last long---and I was right). I was astounded to see that I was the ONLY ONE THERE. What!?! It was more than just a re-release of the so-bad-it's-good...er,-just-okay holiday classic from the early 60s, it was a little retro-holiday film festival with vintage holiday cartoons, vintage holiday ads, vintage holiday public service announcements, etc. I had a great time seeing this on the big screen. And am glad to have the poster now as well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Santa%20Claus%20Conquers%20rerelease_zps0ovzvtha.jpg)
CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF (French affiche):
Ugh! This was one of the two things I won on the recent big Heritage Auction. I was NOT watching this poster or hoping to get it. It's just that when i had a chance to log on, it came up and...I went bonkers trying to win SOMETHING. I won this. I like the color scheme and the art...but didn't realize it was the smaller size French affiche until the auction had concluded. i spent way, WAY too much for it. It's nice, but...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Curse%20of%20the%20Werewolf%20French_zpstf7n8tao.jpg)
NO GREATER SIN and BIRTH OF TRIPLETS combo:
Oooooo! One of the greatest and most notorious exploitation roadshow posters ever---NO GREATER SIN and BIRTH OF TWINS! How i've longed for a copy of this poster for years! NO GREATER SIN is a campy VD scare film. BIRTH OF TWINS is exactly what it sounds like---shocking and unheard of on the screen when this was first shown. ADULTS ONLY!!!! Ha! Yahoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/No%20Greater%20Sin_zpsz6uyqtqh.jpg)
CORRIDORS OF BLOOD (International Version):
Yowza! Old Boris Karloff posters are on my list of posters to hunt down. I had seen this poster many times before and tried to get one. However those were the US copies and those are in black and white. This international copy is in color---much better. So the hunt switched from the black and white US version (which fortunately I never landed) to this colored International version...which is finally mine! And there's BK front and center. Fabulous!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Corridors%20of%20Blood_zpswyp33tcb.jpg)
THE CORPSE GRINDERS:
I already have a copy of this poster, but when i saw this one for sale, i couldn't resist it. I LOVE the schlockiness of this poster. The CORPSE GRINDERS grinding machine (which looks about as hokey as this in the movie) with the screaming victim (they are dead corpses in the movie---but whatever) and all of the other lurid elements. This poster is an exploitation/horror classic and it got people into the theaters (because the movie sure didn't--what a cheesy wonderful snooze-fest! Ha!) This is a Ted V. Mikels mess-terpiece! (Spoiler: The corpse grinder turns the bodies into...cat food! Ha! You gotta love that!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Corpse%20Grinders_zpszuqfzsoh.jpg)
BATMAN:
From 1966, here is the other item I won in the recent big HA auction. This one WAS on my bucket list. However more than this, i really wanted THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN, THE MOLE PEOPLE and THE BLOB---all of which went for much, MUCH more than their estimated auction price (and all of which I had used snipes on---with generous amounts tacked on above and beyond the estimated auction prices. I probably came in 2nd or 3rd place on those posters). Dang it all! Actually BATMAN I had also bid more than the estimated price...but would have also lost if I had not had the chance to tune in again just before it was on the auction block while at work. I was outbid, but finally did manage to win it. I paid too much for it but at last I have one! YIPPIE!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Batman%2066_zps8xormniv.jpg)
And that's my post for my 1 year anniversary! Thank YOU for making it a great year!
CHEERS!
-
I really like the affiche Shawn. HA auctions can be a bit addictive with so much buzz around them sometimes. Either way. Congratulations...good shot. It is a lovely poster.

I agree. Great size for framing too. If its displayed and that nice a poster is seen everyday you will never feel guilty about it again!
-
yep agree, its my favourite french size, and thats one of the best hammer posters of ALL TIME
-
Eclectic haul, once again, Shawn and to echo Vick and Ari, the Curse of the Werewolf is such a great looking poster. Love the color and the art. It's one Id like to get someday, too.
Congrats on the HA win! thumbup

That's a really nice set of acquisitions MAGG, congratulations. My choice amonst so many good ones would be the art on this one:

You must spend hundreds of hours a week in looking for posters like these!

Hi there! Thanks for chiming in on my most recent posters on the 1 year anniversary of my little thread.
ROSA: I'm glad you like the affiche. I do too, but not for what i paid for it. After losing EVERYTHING I was after the first day, I guess i just went a little wild trying to get SOMETHING! Oh well---this is a nice SOMETHING to have settled for (and i did also end up winning the BATMAN---which I wanted). I just wish I could have used the money this cost me to have won one of the other posters I was trying for...coming in 2nd or 3rd sucks---as you know. The GONE WITH THE WIND you were after i revisited. Zowie! It went for much higher than I'd have thought. My loses are paltry next to those. It will be yours (and cheaper) NEXT time.
CRAZY VICK: Yes, I'll frame that and get it up. I only have 2 (I think) of the smaller French affiche-sized posters, this one and a PLANET OF THE APES. I'll get them framed and up in those areas that will not accommodate a one sheet (or larger). Glad you like it. Thank you.
ARI: Glad you like the WEREWOLF poster as well, Ari. I guess the smaller size is easier to deal with---I've just always preferred larger posters---they have more impact (to me, any way). It really IS a nice piece.
JEFF: Another vote for the WEREWOLF poster---thanks! Glad you liked it. I guess I could have done worse in my mad last moment bidding on this one.
STEVE: I'm glad you like JUST THIS ONCE. I'm pretty sure I know what attracted you to it. Ha! However, for me, it was just the simple old-school style of the poster with the actors portraits. Janet Leigh almost looks unfamiliar as I only know her from PSYCHO and those things that followed---nothing before then. And the poster is from 10 years before PSYCHO.
Thanks for visiting. CHEERS!!!!

I don't think you necessarily overpaid for this guy. I think it's right where it should be, even maybe a little under since it is VF and folded. Not rare, but a great Hammer design by Guy Gérard Noël that can only be found in this format. A must, imo. I think it was my first French Hammer. Welcome to the club. You have 7 more Hammer Noël to go.

You outbid me by a dollar on this one but I'm happy I know it went to you! I had my budget that day and oddly I actually stuck to it. It's good to find this poster with the UNIVERSAL FILM INC. at the top that has not been cut. Most I've seen have that text slightly cropped.
We'll meet again BELLOQ A GO-GO...
(http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p9/motdue/g_toile_idole_01_zpsuwb3wos4.jpg)
-
I think it's because the text is right against the border. I own 2 copies of this poster, and the text is all in. The text is so close to the border that people probably cut it out a little when they take a picture of their poster.
T
-
That's interesting because I've seen several of these that were full pics of the poster and they were trimmed, plus I purchased one (that I had to unfortunately return) and it was trimmed. I'll keep looking and it's good to know most may not be like that.
-
Trust me, they're not trimmed. No one trims these posters because medium size French posters from the 50s and 60s are all the same size and there is no reason to trim them. I probably have 400 of them stacked up in a drawer, and they line up perfectly, give or take 1/16 of an inch. Like I said, the title was printed right against the border, so there could be a tiny, tiny discrepancy between posters, but not a trim.
Here's one of mine:

Zowie, Mike! Had I only known... I would have totally stayed away. Sorry.
I want to thank both you and Thierry for your discussion about this poster--in fact almost everyone who has left a comment since I posted it has mentioned that poster. Buying it was sort of a desperate fluke. Glad to know it's a "good one" after all. I had no idea. By the way, i looked up the other Noel Hammer posters that Thierry mentioned---stunning and beautiful. If I do pursue them, how many hundreds,...er, THOUSANDS will they cost me? Zoinks! I'll worry about those later---if i ever encounter them, that is.
Thanks for stopping by.

This is the collection from my collection. I posted them small to not clutter your thread. 4 movies, 58' Horror of Dracula, 59' The Mummy, 61' Curse of the Werewolf and 63' Kiss of the Vampire. Medium affiche, large affiche, medium affiche, large affiche... All by Guy Gérard Noël. Price wise, the large Dracula is the most expensive, $3-4K in great condition. #2 price wise would be the large Mummy, which I would say is harder to find than the Dracula. $1-2k. Then the medium Dracula. $1k. All the others can be found under $1k.
If you're a completist, I'd also add these 2 by Joseph Koutachy: 60' The Brides of Dracula.

Thank you so much, THIERRY . They really are exquisite posters. But the prices...yikes! We will see... Nice to have them all in one place for a check list. I appreciate that. THANK YOU again.

Such a beautiful series of posters.
I think the Wolfman you got is my fave of the set though, Monster...I love the colours! Amazing poster.

Ha ha, that's what happens when you post before having coffee! Must have hit quote instead of edit! ha ha! I don't always have conversations with myself, honest!
-
No worries. I need to jump in the shower myself and get my day started. CHEERS!
-
The French Curse of the Werewolf is amazing. Noël's art has always impressed me, and this is no exception.

Zowie! Thanks e. I guess I did better on that one poster than I thought. Shhh! I'm at work right now, but I appreciate you stopping by and saying hi.
CHEERS!

Hi there and HAPPY APRIL! I'm a tad early as my birthday is Friday (April 15th---TAX DAY to all of you procrastinators out there), and I am heading for the coast for a long birthday weekend (starting with a night at the Madonna Inn in one of their cave rooms---always wanted to do that, so...I AM!). Anyway, happy April! I hope your spring is sunny and full of fun (and amazing posters). I work the next two days--and then I'm off. i won't be buying anything between then and now--so here are the posters for the month:
WINK OF AN EYE:
I thought I had gotten this a while back--but apparently not. I guess I've just been flirting with the idea of getting it? I finally did get it to pad out the shipping of something below. I had never heard of the 1958 obscurity until I saw the poster. There is scant information about it online...not that i really care. The poster promises a "big switcheroo". If you look at the poster, i think I can figure out what the switcheroo is. One arrow is pointing at the woman in red on the upper right side. Follow the arrow back down and around and it points at the butcher-looking guy. Clearly they are one in the same? And this pre-dates William Castle's "HOMICIDAL" by 3 years. It's probably a crappy movie, but a curio for sure. The poster isn't that thrilling, but still caught my eye.

ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS:
What was i thinking with this one? I didn't need it. It was just cheap, colorful and new and why not? I have the lenticular for the first ALICE film (Mad Hatter) and possibly the poster as well. This is just the poster for the sequel--which i may or may not bother with (the first film I found visually interesting--but boring).

SANTA SANGRE (video):
I LOVE this movie. i think it is simply brilliant. Alejandro Jodorowsky has only turned out a handful of films, but EL TOPO and HOLY MOUNTAIN are just amazing...and this film blew me away when i first saw it. This is only the video release (VHS!) poster. i have a messed up copy tucked away somewhere --and am glad to get this upgrade. I actually like the image on the video poster better than the US one sheet -- or most of the posters for the film from other countries.

REVENGE OF BIGFOOT:
OOPS! I apparently already bought this LAST year. Now I have two.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/revenge_of_bigfoot_dupe1_SD04629_T_zpse88cum1b.jpg)
ALICE SWEET ALICE:
I got a copy of this nifty little poster last year. This second copy was part of a lot--and i don't mind getting another copy. With the creepy double-faced doll being stabbed with a knife while a freaky mask peers out of a bag--this poster has a lot going for it. This movie is largely forgotten despite the fact the movie seemed to be re-released (under different titles) every few months for YEARS due to the fact that a very young Brooke Shields was featured in the movie.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Alice%20Sweet%20Alice_zpst60rnjco.jpg)
FADE TO BLACK:
I already have a copy of this poster--but I remember it had black marker on the back (although i don't believe it bled through...). This movie, also largely forgotten, had a nifty premise. The lead character murders people while dressed as different movie monsters that he idolizes. I haven't seen it in years and remember thinking it was just okay at the time--but i may need to give it another watch.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Fade%20to%20Black_zpsjr8oyesa.jpg)
FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH:
FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH isn't exactly shock-a-rama but whatever. Geez, this movie came out about the time I was in high school. I'm hitting 51 on the 15th. Where did the time go? I know Steve is probably having Phoebe Cates coming out of the pool flashbacks right now...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Fast%20Times%20At%20Ridgemont%20High_zpssijrsidm.jpg)
SATAN WAS A LADY:
Finally, I scored a copy of the one sheet for Doris ("Bad Girls Go To Hell"/"Nudes on the Moon"/"The Amazing Transplant"/"Another Day Another Man"/etc.) Wishman's SATAN WAS A LADY. It is apparently an adult movie---I've not seen it yet. But if it's as weird and all over the place as Wishman's other opuses, well I'm sure she focuses on ashtrays and ugly paintings as much (if not more) than any sex act (I still can't imagine Wishman doing a porn... Silly nudies, yes--porn? No.) Not that nice of a poster---but hard to get regardless.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Satan%20Was%20A%20Lady_zpspkwqqocv.jpg)
THE SPIRITUALIST:
I know nothing about this movie and the only name i recognize on it is Richard ("Creature From The Black Lagoon") Carlson. However I dug the vintage look of the poster--the colors, title lettering and the quasi-spooky/creepy subject matter (it even features a crystal ball). I don't have a lot from the 1940s (this is 1948)...so why not?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Spiritualist_zps6egi86nx.jpg)
THE BOWERY BOYS MEET THE MONSTERS:
This was my consolation prize from a recent emovie auction. Jeff had recommended a poster he thought needed to be in the Shock-A-Rama poster show. I had already had it in my watch list...and the bidding was fierce. I SHOULD have held out longer...but I threw in the towel when a last minute bidder swooped in and bid some big bucks on it. Dang.
Anyway, almost right after that loss, this other poster came up. BOWERY BOYS MEET THE MONSTERS. I've heard of the B. Boys before---just not this title. It's not pristine but it does have monsters (a go-go?). It was also about $40 or so less than the other one I lost (ARGH! I STILL should have tried for that other one...) and it's pretty groovy in a cheesy sort of way. Yippie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/bowery_boys_meet_the_monsters_ES02850_T_zpsd5f8kml3.jpg)
LOGAN'S RUN (beach towel):
What!?! ANOTHER Farrah beach towel? You already have that, you are saying. Well, not exactly... When I got the first towel--I was so thrilled because I had had one as a kid. I didn't mention it at the time, but the towel from my memory did not match the actual towel ! got...but it was 40 years later and memories sometimes warp. Imagine my surprise when i saw this towel---that looked exactly like the towel of memory! Who knew they had made TWO different Farrah/LOGAN'S RUN towels? My original towel, as I recall, was just a giant portrait of Farrah's face with the city and movie title at the bottom (instead of the crouching, full body portrait on the other towel). Zowie! How cool to find one. AND, apparently this towel was folded up and stuck away in storage right after being purchased. It's like brand new! Hooray! I am UBER-thrilled! I know this isn't a TRUE movie poster, but yes, I will hang this in my home as if it were. That's what i did with my original one back in 1976.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Farrah%20towel%202_zpstscigjly.jpg)
Okay. I hope everyone is well. Cha-cha-cha! Get your taxes done!
CHEERS!
-
Fade To Black is a fun and cool film. Agree with you, Shawn, it is one that has slipped into the time-mists a bit. So congrats on getting the poster as well as the sudden, 2nd appearing copy of The Bowery Boys poster. thumbsup.gif
-
Hi Jeff. No--the BOWERY BOYS poster came up for auction minutes after i lost out on the one you recommended (which i should have bid more on, darn it), BEACH GIRLS AND THE MONSTER. BOWERY BOYS was my consolation prize---and I am happy to have it. And yes, it is interesting and too bad that some films get lost in time. But then there are thousands of movies out there--so i guess it is understandable. CHEERS and thanks for stopping by.

Hi there and HAPPY APRIL! I'm a tad early as my birthday is Friday (April 15th---TAX DAY to all of you procrastinators out there), and I am heading for the coast for a long birthday weekend (starting with a night at the Madonna Inn in one of their cave rooms---always wanted to do that, so...I AM!). Anyway, happy April! I hope your spring is sunny and full of fun (and amazing posters). I work the next two days--and then I'm off. i won't be buying anything between then and now--so here are the posters for the month:
SANTA SANGRE (video):
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Santa%20Sangre%20video_zpshwggaazt.jpg)
I'm also a big fan of this movie. My friend and I stumbled into it during a night of drinking in Balboa, CA...what an experience it was. I also agree that FADE TO BLACK is a cool film, I remember being a fan of it when i watched it on early cable television.
Shawn if you like the FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH poster you should definitely search out the Thai version. The girls represent the actual characters from the film and the poster also includes a special surprise.
(http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p9/motdue/reference/Fast%20Times%20at%20Ridgement%20High_zpspeejjinm.jpg)
-
(again) I LOVE the towel best.
others are great also.
I love ALICE SWEET ALICE (poster/s and film)
The film has more of a european feel to me (which i generally prefer, especially from this era)
rented FAST TIMES repeatedly as a kid, love it.
Pizza for Spicoli...
RIGHT OVER HERE DUDE!
-
Mike : I'm glad you know SANTA SANGRE. I just love that film. And the Thai version of FAST TIMES is, of course, far superior than the US version. I might just search it out...but i think Steve, for some unknown reason (or two), cornered the market on all other copies known to exist. Shocking!
Ari : Ha! I am glad you like my towel. I am soooo thrilled to get it. (I'm also relieved to know that my memory of what the towel really looked like was NOT as warped as I thought when I got the other one. Again, who knew they'd make two different styles of beach towels! Ha!) I'm also glad you enjoy the ALICE SWEET ALICE poster--even though it's a duplicate of the one I got last year. There is just so much going on in the poster--I dig it. And I know what you mean about the European feel of the film. I get that.
Jeff: One last note about the BOWERY BOYS poster---i just noticed "It's Monsterrific!" Ha! I love that!
Thanks for stopping in, fellas. Cheers!
-
and the poster also includes a special surprise.
I appreciate the special surprise
-
Hi Steve. I thought you'd like something in that Thai poster Mike posted. Thanks for popping in. Cheers!
-

(http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p9/motdue/reference/Fast%20Times%20at%20Ridgement%20High_zpspeejjinm.jpg)
The girls from the film and the special surprise are neat, but what happened to Spicoli? 8)
-
I agree with you on the Santa Sangre video poster being cooler than most theatricals, first time I've seen it and I really like it! And love the Fast Times at Ridgemont High poster, one of my favorite movies. I actually just watched it last night. Nice scores all around as usual!
-
Uhm...will comeback some another time <OO
-
Neo: Good to see you. Thanks for popping by.
e: Hey. How are you. Glad you liked a few things in the latest bat h-o-rama.
Rosa : Sorry nothing this time appealed to you. I thought you'd appreciate the new towel at least as you liked the last one so well.
-
Rosa : Sorry nothing this time appealed to you. I thought you'd appreciate the new towel at least as you liked the last one so well.
>:D on the contrary Shawn...i dont comment if i dont like the posters, I only comment if I do...so I do like yours!!
-
Yep, liking Fast Times (great flashbacks), Spiritualist for the art, Farrah for the wrap me up with her joy
-
Hi. I'm back from my mini-birthday vacation. It was nice.
Rosa: Well check back next time. I have a few new things...nothing much, but something...that you may like and feel comfortable commenting on. But, as always, it is an extreme pleasure to have you visit my thread.
Steve: You'll need to check back next time too. I have a new one that has YOU written all over it. And... Aha! I had a feeling you would have Phoebe flashbacks... Ha. Thanks for chiming in.
-
It's May---geez this year is just screaming by. EEEK! I hope everyone is well ant that you've survived spring and are gearing up for a long, hot summer... (O' the horror!). Speaking of a long, hot summer.... I've postponed moving back into my house at the beginning of summer until September or early October. Why? To save on high electric bills during the hot summer months.
Blah. Blah. Blah. I know it's the 1st---not the 15th. But--argh! I already have a bunch of posters for the month. I guess I'll have to do two posts...one now and another on the 15th.
Here are the posters i got in the last month...er, few weeks:
FAIR WIND TO JAVA:
I already have a couple of copies of this poster. It was part of a lot with the poster below. There seems to be a good supply of this poster floating about, which keeps it pretty cheap. But, in my opinion, it's a stunning poster. The art work, the color--when I got my first copy and it was in such pristine condition, i just fell in love with it. I don't mind the other copies one bit.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Fair%20Wind%20to%20Java_zpsaelxpbfn.jpg)
HELL SHIP MUTINY:
Not a horror poster, but it intrigued me none the less. It features John Carradine and Peter Lorre -- two horror icons. Jon Hall is also featured. Nice tropical evening art. Steve will appreciate the native hula bikini thing. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Hell%20Ship%20Mutiny_zpsanfrnn6y.jpg)
ANDY WARHOL'S BAD:
I've been trying to track down Andy Warhol posters for years. BAD isn't nearly as hard to get as a lot of the other AW movies, I just was never able to snag one until now. This one was one of the last (the last?). What i dig about this poster is that it looks like there is tape on it--but there it's part of the poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Andy%20Warhols%20Bad_zps63bdc9v5.jpg)
SUCCUBUS:
I've never seen this flick, but remember stumbling across a picture or an ad for it when I was younger--probably in a book. SUCCUBUS!?! I had never heard the term up to that point and thought it sounded naughty. Ha! Knowing Jess Franco, I'm sure it is. Euro-trash from 1969...and cheap. Quasi-horror and erotica (by 1969 standards, of course...). Whatever.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Succubus_zpshcxclrak.jpg)
SWEET KILL:
Also not that hard to find, but it has eluded me for a long time, SWEET KILL. It's a wannabe PSYCHO from the early 70s with Tab Hunter as a guy the ladies are wild about--but they make him impotent...until he kills them! Zowie! Kind of a sleaze fest that bombed when it first came out. Interesting none the less. My interest in this was piqued when i had the opportunity to meet Mr. Hunter a few years back. He was nice and still looks great for his age. I realized my entire experience with Tab Hunter movies consisted of RIDE THE WILD SURF, GREASE 2, LUST IN THE DUST and POLYESTER. I needed to track down some of his other films...and I did get several...but the only one I've watched so far is SWEET KILL.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Sweet%20Kill_zpsysv7wbwc.jpg)
BEYOND THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE (International version):
Yes, i know this movie was a big flop and is considered to be a really awful movie. I love it. I love campy, kitschy trash...and this is a hilarious disaster movie with an all-star cast that has every reason to be embarrassed. I dig this movie. Anyway, I have the US poster. I just didn't have this international version--which intrigued me. Mine is NOT from emovieposter. i just used their photo as an example. I don't have a photo of mine.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/beyond_the_poseidon_adventure_INTL_NZ03133_L_zpsqp7ygkc1.jpg)
THE LION HUNTERS:
Oh my stars! FINALLY! My first BOMBA poster. Bom-who? Bomba! Bomba was an obvious ripoff of the popular TARZAN series. The producers went a bit further to ensure the success of a teenage jungle boy by casting Johnny Sheffield (who played "boy" in the Tarzan series, until he got to be too old and was written out of the films). There are 12 films in the series. LION HUNTERS is #5. Yippie! Only 11 posters in the series left to go!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Bomba%20Lion%20Hunters_zpsitjaejo2.jpg)
GONE WITH THE WIND (1998 re-release):
I believe this is the poster for the last nation-wide re-release (1998) of GONE WITH THE WIND on film. There has (I think) been an occasional digitally projected showing...but that's it. Not that that's any sort of milestone, but... I already have some of the 70s and 80s re-release poster and one 60s poster. This one is a bit different. I had one once before (with a big sticker snipe on it for some reason)years ago--but I framed it and gave it away to a friend (who loves GWTW) for her birthday.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gone%20With%20The%20wind%201998%20RR_zpsjzb3iqda.jpg)
BENEATH THE VALLEY OF THE ULTRA VIXENS:
Here's one for Steve... Oh my stars! I remember when this film came out and the newspaper ads showed this poster image. The title alone had me wondering what the heck BENEATH THE VALLEY OF THE ULTRA VIXENS could possibly be about--and the image of all of these big busted women gave me some idea. The combo of the crazy title and the boobs stuck in my head. i've NEVER seen the movie. I have a feeling it would be a tedious T&A sex comedy and would never live up to whatever expectations I could have for a movie with such a wild title. Oh well... Steve will at least appreciate the poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Beneath%20the%20Valley%20of%20the%20Ultra%20Vixens_zpsy3ajins0.jpg)
FLESH GORDON 2: FLESH GORDON MEETS THE COSMIC CHEERLEADERS: (Video)
The original FLESH GORDON was not that great (and super dated...totally early 70s). I have always been fascinated by it though---more because of the IDEA of the movie (not so much in the execution of it) and also because of an article I had read about it in Cinematastique (Was that the name?) magazine on the special effects. It was years later when I finally got to see it on VHS. Decades later, a sequel was made. It was literally pretty crappy (there were actually poo people in it!), but again---the idea of FLESH GORDON (the possibility of what it could have been) over the final result. Again, i heard about the film but had to wait years to see it when it was finally released on video. I didn't think it had ever gotten a theatrical release, so when i saw this video poster pop up for sale, i thought why not? Since getting it, I've learned there WAS a theatrical release...very limited it seems. I'll have to try for a poster from that release...very different art.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/flesh_gordon_meets_the_cosmic_cheerleaders_R93_video_SD04365_L_zpsjgfm4rs1.jpg)
BLOOD BATH :
"The shrieking of mutilated victims caged in a black pit of horror..." That sounds like a typical day at my place. I've heard this film is a complete mess (part of it was shot and unfinished...then, later, another director shot more stuff with other actors and they somehow wove it all together), but you can't deny this poster's horrific appeal. Zowie! See the screaming blonde woman lowered into a boiling (!?!) vat of blood while skeletons watch. Too groovy ghoulie cool.
';
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Blood%20Bath_zpsayg7lao5.jpg)
THE THRILL KILLERS:
Zowie! I got the poster for one of Ray Dennis Steckler's trash-o-rama flicks, THE THRILL KILLERS. Ray was the creator of such gutter budgeted films as THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES WHO STOPPED LIVING AND BECAME MIXED-UP ZOMBIES, RAT PFINK A BOO BOO, BLOOD SHACK, and THE HOLLYWOOD STRANGLER MEETS THE SKID ROW SLASHER. Many of his films starred CASH FLAGG...a non de plume for Steckler himself! Ha! His films also usually starred wife Carolyn Brandt (which this one does). This film also stars LIZ RENAY (noted stripper and later star of John Waters' DESPERATE LIVING)! This is hard to find--but yippie I scored one!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Thrill%20Killers_zpsgx6jyj0d.jpg)
And just because, here is the first part of an episode of THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE FILM SHOW about Ray Dennis Steckler...and ironically, the interviewer never seems to realize Ray IS Cash Flagg. Ha! https://youtu.be/fFbhf9mjPO0 (https://youtu.be/fFbhf9mjPO0)
And that's it really.
I hope everyone survived tax day and is having a groovy spring!
CHEERS!
-
Gotta love that steaming, bubbling blood bath, there, Shawn. She will come out looking like Carrie. ;D devil 2
-
Yes, BLOOD BATH is probably my favorite pick of the current lot as well. I also like THRILL KILLERS a lot. That axe through the head illustration is very unnerving. EEK!
-
Yeah.. that splitting head art on the Thrill Killers is cool, too. The large round eyes on the face really pull you in.
-
Wow man, you're humming right along with more killer pick-ups! I love the Flesh-Gordon and Ulta Vixens. I grew up on both horror, sleeze-horror, and just sleeze :) Back when you could walk into your mom and pop video store at 11yo and rent whatever you picked off the shelf.
It's funny, the posters for these types of films are valuable now, because they were so unvaluable back then. Who in their right mind would think of saving a 'Flesh Gordon 2' poster, or 'Sorority Babes in the Slime Bowl-a-Rama,' or 'Class of Nuke'em High,' for any other reason than to start a fire in the fireplace back when it was released. Because so many of them were trashed, they're so difficult to come by. It's a very niche market for sure, but I know quite a few folks that would clamor of stuff like that.
I've seen ...Ultra Vixens. It's a mess, even for a Russ film. But as the poster shows it does have some redeeming, ahem, qualities.
Congrats again buddy.
-
Oh my stars indeed, peek-a-boo
-
Hi there. Thanks for stopping by. I always enjoy it when people pop in and visit.
JEFF : Yes, the eyes in the illustration do pull you in and you realize that third "eye" is an axe handle...and the axe is wedged in his head. Yowch!
FILM ARMADA : I am soooo pleased you understand my "taste" when it comes to the sleaze aspect of my collection. I learned quite a while back that some titles never had a theatrical release. If you want a poster for it, you'll have to settle for a video release. And I have seen them go crazy high in the last few years like you say. EEEK! Your own collection is zipping along. You are a fine addition to the form. Glad you came aboard and thanks for stopping by.
STEVE : I knew that poster would have a thing or two (or 12) to catch your eye... Ha!
'
And--just an aside--I realized something as I was typing my response to Jeff. As I was writing "axe", my computer underlined it in red. I realize "ax" is the preferred spelling, but "a-x-e" is also an accepted spelling. I personally learned how to spell ax with an "e" (which has always been the way I've spelled it) from a movie poster (well, movie AD in the newspaper actually...). The ad for the Harry Novak-released flick "AXE" (aka "California Axe Massacre"...retitled to cash in on the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" no doubt) caught my childhood eye during my daily perusal of the movie section. Ooooo I definitely wanted to see THAT! But, literally, the poster art was where I learned how to spell "axe". Ha!
Since it is still early in May (morning of the 4th as I write this...) and i already have too many posters (5 !!) since my last posting (just 3 days ago. EEK!), I'm going to go ahead and add these few up as well:
EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC:
I already have a copy of this. I got it simply because it was cheap and in a lot that included the poster below it. For years, EXORCIST 2 was considered one of the all-time worst movies ever made...which meant, of course, that I LOVED it. Ha! It's totally crap--but I dig it. It's reputation for being so bad has kind of been lifted after the excruciatingly awful 4th film EXORCIST: THE BEGINNING (as well as the planned/shelved/released anyway other Part 4...EXORCIST: DOMINION)...and any number of straight to video EXORCIST clone cheapies out today.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Exorcist%202_zpsbudtutqr.jpg)
SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT PART 2:
Yes, I already have this poster. But the theatrical release poster for SNDN2 has got to be rare--so why NOT buy a second copy to resell later? This and the EXORCIST 2 were in a lot together and cheap. Speaking of cheap--have you seen this movie? One half of it is NOTHING but flashbacks from the first SNDN. REALLY!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Silent%20Night%20Deadly%20Night%202_zpsjdkpnobb.jpg)
THE LEGEND OF TARZAN (advance):
I wasn't going to buy this poster--it's really a bland and uninteresting thing, in my opinion-but I stumbled across this one brand new and with shipping it was still less than $10. I have a fairly large TARZAN poster collection already...I have everything from the most recent (and awful) TARZAN AND THE LOST CITY back to the early/middle of the Gordon Scott era, with a Lex Barker, Johnny Weismueller (re-release), and Herman Brix (silent era) poster thrown in. This poster really does NOT do it for me. But, as a Tarzan collector, i should have known I'd end up getting one. I only hope that the studio puts out a much better poster for the final release. This one is sooooo boring.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Legend%20of%20Tarzan_zpsea9foebb.jpg)
BLOOD ORGY OF THE SHE-DEVILS:
Yahoo! This is another Ted V. Mikels no budget classic! And what a great title! How many times did i annoy friends when entering this title in a game of charades---because no one I knew had ever heard of it. I had been eyeing a copy of this on Amazon...but they wanted $150 for it. I paid less than a third of that price for this one. Yippie! A terrifying, screaming plunge to the depths of hell! Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Blood%20Orgy%20of%20the%20She%20Devils_zpsky5bqeq3.jpg)
THE TERROR:
I have long wanted this poster. I got the advance version last year, but still wanted the full-color one sheet. This poster is cool, but has always perplexed me. The white line that cuts Karloff's face in half makes me think it was painted on two separate canvases pushed together to make the poster's artwork. The little scenes on either side of his face seem to try to hide the separation, especially in regards to the spider's web, which doesn't seem to continue on from the lower half to the upper half. Still a cool poster---but I'm not happy with it. I failed to notice the censor stamp on it before I bought it. UGH! That is the kiss of death for a poster in my collection. Eventually I'll resell this... DRAT!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Terror_zpstq9m8yvg.jpg)
Hopefully I won't buy any more posters before my regularly scheduled visit on the 15th (that won't happen, i'm sure... but I can hope!). Thanks again for visiting.
CHEERS!
PS I just had it pointed out that today is STAR WARS DAY. While I'm not a big fan of the film series (I've seen most of them, but...), I do like bogus holidays like this.
May the Fourth be with you! Ha!
-
I always liked The Terror OS, too, Shawn. And I see it also is Reynold Brown artwork! thumbsup.gif
And you're right.. that horizontal line thru Karloff's face and the set of spiderwebs in the lower half that just are cut off and end, when it gets to that white line.. or the shadowing under Karloff's right eye. The continuation of that shadow on his upper cheek doesnt match totally, either.
Would love to know the story behind this creation, too, that's for sure. sherlockholmes.gif
-
How do you know it is Reynold Brown?

Internet research and I also checked here:
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/film_title/TERROR%2520%2528%252763%2529/tag/nation%253AU.S./type/1sh/style/style%2520A/archive.html
And what is interesting is to look at the half sheet that shows the same Karloff facial image, but not "interrupted", webs and all:
Its like they took the art and in deciding to use just the imagery of the 2 damsels caught in the web, had to blow up and crop just that part, then readjust, so that it matched the upper portion of Karloff's face. Then quickly put together, without any real finesse.

Ah! Congratulations, Mr. Holmes! Well done.
-
I think we all need Gone with the Wind poster, congratulations for finding yours. And congratulations too on the others, any posters with Peter Lorre or Fred MacMurray are winners :)
-
Rosa! How delightful to see you/have you visit. I thought you might enjoy the GWTW poster, even though it's not that old. I like it, even though it's a modern photoshop thing. The silhouette against the fiery sunset and blue sky with Scarlett and Rhett just about to kiss works for me. It's very different than the versions I have from the 60s/70s/80s. GWTW reminds me of my grandmother. That was her favorite film. I took her to see it at least twice in re-releases in her later years. It's to her memory that I even bothered to read the book (great book) and the sequels (SCARLETT and RHETT BUTLER'S PEOPLE---both authorized by the Mitchell estate, but annoying in that the storylines do NOT jibe. Grrr.). Blah. Blah. Blah. I hope all is well with you. Thanks for the visit. Cheers!
-
Hey there. .. :)
i read one of the sequels too and agree with you, they are not good enough.. what I like about yours, this modern poster is that you have Hattie-mcdaniel. I also like the Japanese r 70s poster (have you seen that one?) Great collection. Keep them coming!!
:)
-
No, i haven't seen the 70s Japanese version...but I'll look for one to check out.
Come back, if you like, on the 15th. I'll have another post...with a few items that are not (Gasp!) posters. (Oh my!)
It's always nice to see you.
Cha-cha-cha CHEERS!

Hi Shawn hola.gif
This is the one Gone with the wind Japanese R71. There is a later R75 but this one is my favourite, I also like yours because it has the supporting actors.

Stunning. Thanks for sharing. Do you have one of those?

Hi there, It's the middle of May 2016--ALREADY! Jeepers, this year is zooming on by. Here are my latest acquisitions for your perusal. I apologize about the emovieposter watermark on some of them, but the photo person there has not sent me my unmarked versions yet (watch them show up tomorrow. ha! No big deal. You can SEE what they look like anyway...)
But first, let me say hello to Rosa...
ROSA: What GWTW stuff do you have? Just curious. I have a few posters,,,but just from 60s/70s/80s releases...and that last one from the 2000s. Hmm.
Okay---off to the posters (and a few non-poster surprises! Oh my!)
3 ON A MEATHOOK:
I already have a copy or two of this poster, but when this one came up (and it was cheap), I just couldn't let it go. Hello? Despite the fact it is a butt-ugly poster and the movie is a pretty crappy (yet obscure) early 70s grindhouse turd-o-rama (supposedly based on the crimes of Ed Gein, the same Wisconsin wacko who was the basis for PSYCHO, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and DERANGED), the poster is rare. Snagged it.

TROUBLE MAKERS:
My second Bowery Boys poster (after my recent purchase of THE BOWERY BOYS MEET THE MONSTERS which is cool and on page 28 of my thread: http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,9480.700.html (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,9480.700.html)). I figured why not? How many Bowery Boys films there are, i have no idea. I've never seen one. I'm not wild about it--but as i said, what the heck. Right? And who names their kid "Huntz" anyway? Whatever...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/trouble_makers_ES03459_C_zpso6tcfrho.jpg)
THE LIQUIDATOR:
I'm a huge James Bond fan...so it's only natural to be curious about the knockoffs that came in 007's successful wake. This one starred Rod "The Birds" Taylor and future Bond girl ("Diamonds Are Forever"), Jill St. John. I have this poster...but saw this one so cheap and bought it. I really need to STOP doing that...especially since this movie was not all that great. Sigh...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/THE%20LIQUIDATOR_zpstw1eu0ne.jpg)
NOCTURNA:
I've never seen this disco vampiress flick from the late 70s (also known as NOCTURNA: GRANDDAUGHTER OF DRACULA), but I remember reading about it (and lots of other things) in the very first issue of FANGORIA magazine back in 1979. It's funny i remember buying that first issue and its contents so distinctly. I had never seen a magazine like that devoted to horror flicks (FAMOUS MONSTERS i had never really seen...). It's funny how "firsts" in our lives leave impressions...and later instances less so (if at all). Anyway, some day i'll track this movie down and give it a watch. It was just one of many films i read about that NEVER seemed to come out (or, at least, play in my town. Another that comes to mind was "THE COMING" with Susan Swift from AUDREY ROSE. I've been wanting to see that for years as well. Did that ever come out? Hmm...), Anyway, a movie about a disco vampiress can't SUCK too bad, can it? Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/nocturna_granddaughter_of_dracula_BM06719_T_zpsxlyzgety.jpg)
SIMBA: MARK OF MAU MAU:
Here's another poster for a movie i know absolutely nothing about. It's a 1955 flick and it stars a young Dirk Bogarde I liked it because it looked like it might fit in with my tiki-esque or cannibal-themed posters. SIMBA: MARK OF MAU MAU...Hmm, maybe this Simba guy was the original Papa Ooo Mau Mau? I dig the skull on the end of his stick. Crazy, man! Ooo Mau Mau, Papa Ooo Mau -muh-Mau!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/simba_styleA_SG00395_T_zps3ai3lmu6.jpg)
THE EVIL EYE:
I know nothing about this movie either, but I've seen this poster come and go over the years. i finally picked one up. I know this is NOT the movie (a short) I saw in Spain once (playing before THE WIZARD OF OZ, which had Spanish dialogue, but the songs were original English versions. Ha!). That movie I have no idea what it was called, but I've been looking for it forever. It was a short film about a woman walking around a town. She was veiled or had her face covered in some way so all you could see was one eye (which seemed to be in the middle of her face (?) ). I don't remember much of the plot or the ending, but everywhere this woman went, people ran in fear from her. It was black and white also, i think. Creepy--but nothing scary actually happened. I wish I could find this flick again. Anyway--the title (and kind of the image) remind me of that weird short--which i saw way, WAY back in 1983.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/evil_eye_WC04327_T_zpssgp0kp9l.jpg)
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS:
Yes, i got one of these, even though I am not that much of a fan. I DID see the movie in the theater though. I was curious to see what happened to the characters from the original/middle trilogy. The image below is just a photo from online---not the actual poster. Mine was "free" but has a rough edge on one side and a tear in the upper corner. All could easily be hidden with framing. I just wanted to get it because these things are ridiculously expensive. Jeepers!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Star%20Wars%207_zpsc71foq5n.jpg)
SON OF SINBAD:
I already have a copy of this, but this is a MUCH BETTER copy. Oooo. I don't talk about Sinbad posters that often, because i think I have all/most of the posters for the various movies already. Similar to my affection for the Tarzan series or the Hercules-type movies of the 50s and 60s (especially the ones with monsters and/or magic in them), I'm a big fan of the Sinbad films, probably because I was so enchanted with the Harryhausen Sinbads...but i also have posters for obscure Sinbad films such as "The Magic Voyage of Sinbad" (Russian), "The Lost World of Sinbad" (Japanese), and the aggravatingly misspelled "Captain Sindbad", etc. I've never seen "Son of Sinbad" (or most of the earlier films), but the idea of the character/adventures interests me and has had me suffering through many of the awful newer direct-to-video "films". But i am thrilled with this treasure! Whoo hoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Son%20of%20Sinbad_zpso8ys6oqn.jpg)
BRAINIAC and CURSE OF THE CRYING WOMAN:
Yowza! I had my eye on this and the price went way, WAY too high. I paid too much for it, but had never seen another one and I really "needed" it to go with a similar Mexican double-feature horror poster I got a while back (Here in my thread on page 16...scroll to about half way down: http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,9480.375.html (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,9480.375.html)) WOW! I'm such a sucker for gimmicks, too. Just take a look. Despite the crudely drawn art (which is also a plus in a way...), the poster boasts that you can "see the living headless body in person"! Zowie! That prop must have racked up a lot of miles...I wonder whatever happened to it? I also dig how the grammatically incorrect wording ("The most fiendish idea ever conceived by human brain") is prominently splashed across the poster for all to see -- and to shake their head at. Ha! CHEESY awful yet wonderful!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/el_baron_del_terror_and_la_maldicion_de_la_llorona_dupe1_BM06793_C_zpshfdvzl2w.jpg)
ROTTWEILER:
Look out! It's the one sheet for the Earl Owensby low budget in-your-face 3D regional rarity, "ROTTWEILER"! Also known as "DOGS OF HELL", this is one of a string of 7 or 8 3D flicks Owensby churned out in the 80s...that NEVER played in my town. ARGH! I'm sure it's awful. but as a sucker for gimmicks and vintage 3D (the new stuff offers great clarity and depth, but not much reaching out into your face thrills...), I've always wanted to see this "dog". I have another copy of this poster, but it has a lot of issues (including a big snipe/sticker covering a bunch of the lower portion of the poster). This is not perfect, but I'll take it. I don't see Owensby 3D posters that often... Woof!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Rottweiler%203D_zpsbxj8oku0.jpg)
BWANA DEVIL (Original 3D glasses):
Speaking of gimmicks, i know these next two items are NOT posters, but I've got to let my gimmick freak flag fly for a moment. (If I can post beach towels...what's wrong with vintage gimmick premiums?) These are 3D glasses from "BWANA DEVIL", the original 3D movie that launched the 3D craze of the 1950s. Granted these are not in the best shape (the dork who owned these previously apparently stapled them--eeek!--to something), but how many of these puppies are still in existence? I HAD to have them. Zowie! These will be nice to have to display next to the poster (which I have on page 4 of my thread: http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,9480.75.html (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,9480.75.html). Scroll about halfway down...).

WITCHCRAFT and THE HORROR OF IT ALL (Witch Deflector coin):
Yahoo! I have been looking for one of these for YEARS! I also thought that all of these little plastic coins (there were ones in green plastic as well, or so i read) had slipped through the fingers of time, never to be seen again. Yippie for me that i FINALLY found one. This is from 1964 and was used as a gimmick to promote the re-release double-feature combo of WITCHCRAFT and THE HORROR OF IT ALL (starring Pat Boone?! Ha!). I have the one sheet that advertisers the WITCH DEFLECTOR on page 26 of my thread (You can see it here. Scroll down: http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,9480.625.html (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,9480.625.html) .) The coin is similar to the "Zotz!" coin given out with the William Castle film of the same name (I have one of those too). I'm sure this promotional gimmick was inspired by Castle and his penchant for gimmicks to get people into his so-so low-budget thrillers. I'm including pictures of the front of the coin as well as the back (with the film titles printed on the coin), as well as an image describing how to use the coin. I've been looking for a one sheet version (or ANY version) of this image---but have never seen one for sale. Hmm. If there's one out there, I'll track it down. Anyway, the instructions are very vague..as is the power of the coin. Ha! But at least now I'll be safe from witches...while all of you all will just have to suffer from any spell or curse that comes your way. Ha! Because "only the Witch Deflector can save you from the eerie web of the unknown!" Ooo-EE-ooo-ooo...

ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES:
Zowie! I have long wanted this poster for THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES ever since seeing the cool/horrifying image of the woman embracing a near-skeletal faced Vincent Price on some horror bubble gum cards I got back in the day. Creepy cool! While the PHIBES films didn't really work for me, this poster is awesome imagery... While I generally dislike the new Photoshop stuff used for movies and have rarely liked cheap-o photo posters in general, this gruesomely groovy photo would really sell me on seeing this movie back in the 1970s. Yowza!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/abominable_dr_phibes_BM06721_T_zpsrsja1lmd.jpg)
And that's it for this posting. Thanks for stopping by. See you next time.I hope poster shopping in your world has been successful. Now I MUST get my rear in gear and get to work. ARGH! CHEERS!

My favs are The Evil Eye and Son Of Sinbad. Fun + attractive.
Wondering what the image is in the top portion of the red cape?!

A blood-based diet must be healthy AND nutritious. Miss Nocturna looks to be in great shape and I'll bet she doesnt even do spinning classes. Maybe she does cape-flinging ones, instead! ;D

STEVE : Glad there were a few things for you to eyeball. Ha! As for the cape--i never noticed that before. Hmm. Veins maybe? (In a cape? How could that be?)
JEFF : Very funny. Still, this movie ought to be a hoot (unintentionally) because of it's disco-era disco-ness. I kind of want to see it. Really.
Thanks for visiting both of you.

Of that I have NO doubt, Shawn. Probably so bad that it's actually GooD! (Let alone the disco soundtrack) 8)

Just looked it up on YouTube...it looks pretty awful.

Scroll about halfway down...).
Simba (1955), this movie is nowhere to be found... There are few DVDs on ebay but otherwise it is an almost forgotten movie. The African tribeman is a kikuyu - from Kenya. The face is well done as it is a typical kikuyu face. As for the skull on the stick and the all cannibal-look,this is cinema :) Kikuyus aren't like that but they were fierced warriors. What is interesting about the movie is that it was filmed during the Mau Mau uprising but I guess the plot of the movie must be less interesting than "Something of value" which is based upon a roman.
As for the "Bwana devil" glasses, you are lucky I am in different time zone otherwise it would have been a bidding war against me :) You got them at a very good price. I am sad to have missed these. FYI, "Bwana devil" was filmed in USA, African images are footage images.
Well done !!
-
Great background info there, BB. :D
-
I wanted that Brainiac/Curse of... some kind of bad, truly a unique piece! As you said though, the price shot up quick. I was really surprised at how high it went. It just goes to show that there are a lot more folks out there that go for the odd & weird (like us) than we like to think.
Congrats, man...it went to a worthy home!
-
JEFF : AND Vickie Sue Robinson! Zowie! I'll have to rush out and buy the soundtrack... or not.
Steve : Oh my stars! I totally see it...er, THEM now. HA! AMAZING sex-o-vision you have. Golly!
Rosa :The 60s one I have is white with the couple embracing on the top, as i recall. The poster has issues though. The 70s and 80s re-releases i have look very similar to each other---just different text on them with fiery orange/red colors/background. As god is my witness, i loved the little GWTW gif. Ha!
Big Boss : As Jeff said, THANK YOU for all of the background info on the obscure SIMBA movie/poster. Amazing! I'm also glad you approve of the BWANA DEVIL glasses and am glad I didn't have a bidding war with you. Usually, if i recognize a bidder, i'll step aside and let them have it. But there are those very special pieces where I will fight until I can't fight any longer....the 3D BWANA glasses were in that latter category.
Chris9000 : Did you change your name? Are you Film Armada rechristened? Either way, I'm glad you like the Brainiac/Curse poster and I do apologize for bidding it away from you. As i told BIG BOSS above, Normally if I recognized you as bidding against me, i'd concede...but this was one i HAD to have (hence the crazy high price! EEEK!). As I said, i needed it to go with my other gonzo Mexican horror double feature poster. But I do feel awful knowing you were trying to get it as well...especially with you being relatively new here.
Anyway, thank you all for visiting the latest posters...or just stopping by in general.
Cheers!

Bidding war was an hyperbole as I am a low bidder and usually leave the room fast :) I checked a bit in some auctions site for these 3D Bwana glasses, only found one pair and as description said, it was the first one on EMP. All this to say, as you mentioned early, I don't think there are that many in the market. Again, well done !! If you see some in the market somewhere, let me know as I dig these !

This is really interesting, and as you say it is rather difficult to find any information about this film or history. Thanks for sharing. I will try to find it and watch it.
-
Hey man.. yep, same guy as filmarmada. It felt odd for me to have people address me as that, so I changed it to something with my proper name in it.
No worries at all on the bidding! I usually do the same thing if I recognize the bidder, unless it's something I'm really interested in or have been looking for, for some time.
Keep up the killer work!
-
BIG BOSS : Yes, should I come across any other pairs of BWANA DEVIL glasses, I'll send word your way.
ROSA : Thanks for stopping in, as always.
CHRIS9000 : Hi. Glad there are no hard feelings about the bidding. I got into a bidding war last night on emovie. It's funny because I had dozens of things in my watch list. I let almost everything go to others (there were two items I bid low amounts on...abandoned...and ended up getting anyway). The bidding war was for one of those elusive posters I had to have...I hated to spend so much but had to have it. UGH! Glad you understand. Your collection is off to a rockin' start!

Mirosae - Same apply for the "Mister Moses" (1965) (featuring Carol Baker and Robert Mitchum), a movie about missionaries being conmen. Largely edited/cut in 80s VHS release, it is now totally unavailable worldwide. It seems MGM has decided to let the movie die as it is dull, bad quality and highly controversial.
Monster-A-Gogo - Thanks !!

As always some cool scary additions there well done.

BIG BOSS: It's always a pleasure having you drop by. Thank you for enlightening us on the various movies (BWANA DEVIL, SIMBA, etc.). That was very much appreciated.
As always some cool scary additions there well done.
UNDEAD: Thank you. It's always a pleasure having you stop in as well. Be sure to check back around the 1st of June when i should have another batch ready to post. (I have an UN-lucky 13 posters so far... EEEK! I kind of hope I don't spend any more---clearly my experiment in limiting my time on here to curb my poster buying is NOT working. Ha!) I hope you'll return to check them out.
CHEERS!

Excellent information. Many thanks for sharing . And do please keep it coming.

Eek! It's NOT June 1st, but here I am with a BONUS posting. Why? It seems I can't stop buying...and I had more than 20 posters ready to post on the 1st. Yikes! Too big of a posting, so i scooped out 10 less exciting posters and made this little bonus post to keep the June 1st post from getting to be overwhelming...
Before we get to them though, thank you ROSA for stopping by and furthering the thanks to BIG BOSS for his helpful insight.
Okay--BONUS time:
BILLY JACK (re-release):
I still have not watched my 4-pack of BILLY JACK movies yet.I had gotten a one sheet for THE TRIALS OF BILLY JACK sometime last year (not long after buying the DVD set) and thought I'd try to track down the rest of the posters in the series as well. This is a re-release of the first film (which is really the 2nd film sort of. BORN LOSERS introduced the character, but from what I understand, Billy Jack is more of a supporting/bit character in that film).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Billy%20Jack%20n_zpsglhgs4gq.jpg)
FLESH GORDON 2: FLESH GORDON MEETS THE COSMIC CHEERLEADERS (British quad):
A while back i got the video release poster for FLESH GORDON 2, thinking it had never had a theatrical release and it was the only type of poster available. Wrong. It had a limited release and there are one sheets out there---they're just scarce. In the mean time while I look for one, I stumbled on this British quad. It will do. I was never really enamored with either the first film or the sequel. i thought both were missed opportunities. I did like the idea of what they could be though--and the original's cheesy effects. Whatever.

RETURN TO PEYTON PLACE (Yugoslavian):
Although I already have the US one sheets for PEYTON PLACE and RETURN TO PEYTON PLACE (some of my guilty pleasure faves. Ha!), I saw this Yugo RETURN and bid a very modest amount ($6?). I was surprised to find out later it was mind. Not too shabby.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/yugoslavian_return_to_peyton_place_SD05366_T_zpseeydy3kj.jpg)
THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL:
I've wanted this poster for YEARS! There was one on ebay 6 months or so that kept being relisted and ignored. I didn't go for that one because it had a big yellow snipe over the "X-Rated" ratings box. I saw the movie (seeing this bizarre poster years ago --and losing it--was the reason i track the movie down), and don't believe it is a true x-rated (i.e. porn) film. There may have been some inserts added or maybe I am mistaken (or remembering incorrectly), but I don't think it was a hardcore film...more like a tame R with nudity. It's the story of a mentally off over 18 teen who runs away from home and goes to live with her ex-step father and his current girlfriend...and causes mayhem on the way (I think she actually kills someone by the end of the movie?), including (attempting?) seducing her ex step father! It was a low budget mishmash...but the quirky poster for it still intrigues me. You've got the barber shop pole stripes around three sides. You've got the odd-sized daybed/chair (too short to be a bed, too wrong shaped to be a chair) with the worn lower corner (I love that detail) and the perplexed-looking rag doll leaning against it. Then there is a statue of David haphazardly sitting on the chair arm (headboard?) while a blue man comes through a window, staring/heading off to the left. The girl (with only one shoe) is much nicer looking than the real "girl" in the movie. The art is just "off" somehow, rather unsophisticated--almost juvenile. I don't know. It just appeals to me and I'm glad I finally got one.

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS:
I just got a copy of this not too long back for free, but it was damaged along the side edge. I stumbled on this new, never hung one for sale at a reasonable price and thought I should get it--as they are crazy high everywhere else. As i said before when I got the other one, I am no big Star Wars fan...but I'll hang on to it for a future sale, I think.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Star%20Wars%20Foce%20Awakens_zpsipsxhie0.jpg)
COMMUNION (a.k.a. ALICE SWEET ALICE) and TINTORERA (combo British quad):
Another low ball bid that I was startled to discover was also mine was this combo for COMMUNION (which is also known as ALICE SWEET ALICE...and I already have the US one sheet for that) with the Mexican JAWS rip-off, TINTORERA. I love my JAWS ripoffs, and even though I already have a TINTORERA one sheet (and even though the movie SUCKS big time), TINTORERA was the magic attraction to this surprisingly cheap British quad.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/british_quad_alice_sweet_alice_and_tintorera_SD05589_C_zpsdtiysbrw.jpg)
TOMORROWLAND:
I know this flick was a big box office bomb. I saw it and thought it was almost good. Something was just not quite right. But for some reason, i think this flick will catch on down the road...so i wanted to get the poster. I already have an advance. Now I have the final version. Yahoo.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Tomorrowland%20advance_zpsqw0qmat3.jpg)
10 CLOVERFIELD LANE:
Another film that was almost good...in my opinion, anyway. As a sequel to CLOVERFIELD, it was somewhat disappointing. A matter of too little, too late. As a thriller on its own--it had potential. It seemed like a mash-up between two different movies actually. I think i actually read something about them deciding to make it a CLOVERFIELD sequel partway through the filming, actually. I do like the poster design though.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/10%20Cloverfield%20lane_zpsvaqs6grj.jpg)
THE WOMAN EATER:
Oh my stars...what IS this movie? I'd seen this poster a time or two but it always eluded me. THE WOMAN EATER? Aside from the poster, I've never heard of it. A monster that eats only women? I couldn't resist---and this time, it's finally mine. Anyone know about this film? I may have to look it up and hunt it down...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Woman%20Eater%20n_zps0rpzyz4q.jpg)
THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD (French medium? affiche):
Wow! I got this French (medium-sized? I thought there was only petite and grande?) version of THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD for a song. It's gorgeous! I saw one go for some pretty decent bucks not long back at an auction. Yikes! This was a total bargain.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Golden%20Voyage%20of%20Sinbad%20French_zpsoatemlpa.jpg)
That's it. Thanks for visiting. Check back Wednesday the 1st for my regularly scheduled update. Keep cha-cha-cha-ing! Oww!
CHEERS!

MAGG is back... with a vengeance! Great scores all around.
There was a little girl is great, both as a poster and for your little bit there.

I think Steve needs to revise the elite poster collectors' list
-
Hey Shawn, I think, as you said, whether you resist and dont visit APF or not, you are still one POSTER-BUYING fiend! And that's all good!! ;D
This latest 'preview" mini haul of poster goodies proves it. You even bought a Force Awakens OS, and you dont like SW flickers, in general, all that much, right?
You have the poster bug bad*, methinks, and no vaccine is in sight! girly2.gif
*and that's a good thing, of course.

Hi CRAZY VICK! It is always super duper groovy seeing you here. I'm so glad you liked the posters in my "bonus post" and am glad you especially liked THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL (what an odd poster...it still seems so off balance and strange to me). I'm glad you liked the description of it as well. I tend to yammer on too much, I think, in my descriptions. I don't know... Sorry for all of the typos in it.
What is the "elite poster collectors list"? Isn't that just everyone here on the forum in general or something else? Anyway--thanks for coming over and saying HI!
JEFF, you are so correct. I'm fooling myself by thinking I have any control at all. I'm an addict, a total poster whore! Argh! I have to learn to curb my spending somehow. I am out of any "spare" money and will soon have much LESS a month (when i move back into my house around September) than I have gotten used to. EEK! I'm d-o-o-m-e-d... :( But thanks for saying hello. :D
CHEERS!
-
What is the "elite poster collectors list"? Isn't that just everyone here on the forum in general or something else?
There has only ever been one Elite poster collector on this forum and he was self appointed. There is a list in my signature of Elite poster collectors, if the definition of Elite was relaxed a tiny bit.

Aha! Now that you point it out, I think I have seen this a long, LONG time ago. Very insightful ...in a very humorous way. Ha! Thank you for sharing, Steve!
CHEERS!

+1 That was a very humorous post! Very glad to know it is still available ;D

That poster The Woman Eater...it really is quite something!! I really enjoy reading your commentary; :)
-
Hi Rosa! Thanks for visiting. I'm glad you liked THE WOMAN EATER. Ha! I thought you might find it offensive (more women in peril). Perhaps you like it because the monster has "good taste"? Ha! I still need to look into that movie. Hmm.
Tomorrow is my regular post so stay tuned. There are way too many still---even with my bonus post the other day. EEK!
CHEERS!

Hi there. Happy June.
Thanks for dropping in to see the latest posters being added to the Shock-A-Rama Horror Show! Oooooooo. As usual, there is a mix of the not-so-interesting (ho-hum...yawn....) and the interesting. (And there are WAY too many...) Sit back, relax, and let the posters begin....
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2 (Thai):
Not long back, Chris/Gingerman and I were having a conversation about some really cool-a-rama Thai posters he had recently gotten. He had some AMAZING stuff. That got me thinking of all of the truly beautiful Thai stuff out there (argh! There goes my wallet!)...and Pea was posting some stuff for sale...and...I already have a Thai A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET...why not get the sequel? Argh! So i did...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Nightmare%202_zpsswruv7ox.jpg)
FOOD OF THE GODS (Thai):
Since this was relatively inexpensive comparatively, I thought why not add it to the other order? So this also came from Pea. THANK YOU, PEA!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Food%20of%20the%20Gods%20Thai_zps8dfttsi4.jpg)
THE VELVET VAMPIRE (Thai):
Hot on the heels of my Thai buys from Pea (which was all done online over my phone as I was out of town), I thought I'd look up Thai posters on eBay and see what was out there. I spied this one...the most recent poster listed. It was about 4 or 5 slots above another for almost $250! Yikes! Plus this one came with a bonus (next poster down). i quickly snatched it up. Again, this was done online over my phone. When I got home and saw it on my regular computer, I finally noticed the (UGH!) smashed-while-rolled or possibly water damage on the left side. Darn it all... It's still a nice image over all, but...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Velvet%20Vampire%20Thai_zpsyltvumrz.jpg)
THE VELVET VAMPIRE:
This was the bonus that came with the Thai poster...and even it has a small stain in the upper corner (not visible either via phone. GRRR!). Oh well. I've seen this poster around a few times before. i might (?) have one already, but I do not think so. I've never seen this film...or think I've even seen it available on DVD/blu ray. Is it any good?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Velvet%20Vampire_zpsbioygoxx.jpg)
THE GATES OF HELL (Thai):
Not long after the episode with the Thai VELVET VAMPIRE, I was looking around and discovered this (hopefully) little gem. It's the Thai poster for Lucio Fulci's GATES OF HELL (notice the Thai credit writer wrote GATE instead of GATES) aka CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD. Zowie! Here is a movie poster title I never expected to see in Thai! But why NOT, right? I followed it for the duration of the auction, having a generous snipe bid in place...and it became mine! Yippie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gates%20of%20Hell%20Thai_zpsshd1gmck.jpg)
DOMINIQUE (Thai):
To pad out the package, I also purchased this Thai version of the poster for the little horror thriller DOMINIQUE (aka DOMINIQUE IS DEAD) starring Jean Simmons, Cliff Robertson and Jenny ("An American Werewolf In London") Agutter. I saw this flick in the theater way back in 1979 (?) with the nifty little co-feature, TOURIST TRAP. I wonder if there is a Thai version of that? Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Dominique%20Is%20Dead%20Thai_zpsrzmjqedg.jpg)
BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA (Turkish):
Look at this bad boy. Zowie! I saw this movie years and years ago (with a title like that, how could I NOT watch it?). It's a Sam Peckinpah movie, but not one of his better ones. And, as I recall (but i could be mistaken), Alfredo Garcia was already dead and buried when the movie begins---so cutting it off would not been quite as gruesome as depicted here. But this was cheap and kind of cool--couldn't pass it up
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/turkish_bring_me_the_head_of_alfredo_garcia_ES02600_C_zpscdc1tty5.jpg)
GAMERA SUPER MONSTER (Turkish):
Crazy, wonky Turkish art for a crazy, wonky Japanese monster movie. FUN STUFF!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/turkish_gamera_super_monster_SD05131_C_zpsnsismabq.jpg)
KING KONG VS GODZILLA (R-80s Japanese B2 Video):
Speaking of Japanese monster movies, I shouldn't have gotten this (it was the only thing I actively bid on---argh! I should have known better and just let it go...), but I love my KING KONG stuff. This is an 80s Japanese video poster...B2 size...of the big monster mash up! Zowie! I'm looking forward to the new KING KONG VS GODZILLA in 2020! Whoo hoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/japanese_b2_king_kong_vs_godzilla_R80s_video_SD05575_T_zpsjcoysph0.jpg)
MANIAC:
ARGH! Why do i do things like this...again, and again, and AGAIN! I already have 2 or 3 copies of the MANIAC poster. And what do i do? See one for sale and bid what I think is the lowest price it SHOULD go for...and get stuck with it. Ha! Oh well. It's always good to have a spare copy, i guess.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/maniac_dupe2_ES00214_T_zpsd1oqpg0x.jpg)
FIRE ON EAST TRAIN 34 aka EXPRESS ON FIRE (Yugoslavian):
Oh my stars! I LOVE my disaster movies. Yet i had never heard of this Russian-made disaster flick about a train on fire. Yowza! Had to get it. now to track down the movie...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/yugoslavian_fire_on_east_train_34_ES03927_C_zps6qz4qpza.jpg)
ROBOT MONSTER:
I'm not exactly sure what a "TV poster" is, but this is a 1981 re-release TV poster. Not a video poster? Hmm. Either way, i would love, LOVE, L-O-V-E to have an original ROBOT MONSTER poster. Unless i win the lottery, that isn't likely to happen. So, as the next best thing, i opted for this 35 year old re-release TV poster instead. TENSE! TAUT! TERRIFIC!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/special_robot_monster_R81_tv_dupe2_SD04413_T_zpsgtyvjdl7.jpg)
THE BIG BIRD CAGE:
Nothing like classic 70s grindhouse exploitation! Ha! Whoo hoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Big%20Bird%20Cage%20n_zps9wume1vg.jpg)
THE DAY THE EARTH FROZE:
SAMPO!!! If you've never seen MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000, the episode featuring THE DAY THE EARTH FROZE is a great introduction to the show. Oh my stars! It's soooo FUNNY!Well, judge for yourself (or don't). Here it is on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/v/cdfUkrbNvwA
I laughed out loud many times watching this. I first saw it years ago. When i saw the poster (which is quite a piece of marketing. It LOOKS and SOUNDS like a sci fi film...but it's actually some strange Scandinavian folktale. ha!), I knew I had to get it. Amazingly, i DID get it (while at work, oblivious to the auction going on at the time) with a snipe bid. Hooray!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Day%20the%20Earth%20Froze_zpswt9gas91.jpg)
GLEN OR GLENDA (Argentinean):
Ooooo! Zowie! I can't believe this is mine. I made ONE bid on it early in the day...and I was instantly the top bidder (and--yikes! It was just $3 shy of my max). And NO ONE ELSE bid against me the rest of the day...and it was mine? Kowabunga! Although I'd prefer a US one sheet, I'm delighted to have this Argentinean version of the one sheet for the Ed Wood trash classic. I already had an Argentine one sheet for GLEN OR GLENDA in a triple feature (with two other shock-a-rama exploitation features! Oh my!). but I like this one o' so much better. Hooray!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/argentinean_glen_or_glenda_BM06214_T_zpsc9dl90rv.jpg)
BEAST FROM HAUNTED CAVE:
Yahoo! I scored another one of these vintage 50s/60s drive in monster movie posters. It's probably a piece o' crap movie---but great schlocky poster art.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Beast%20From%20Haunted%20Cave%20n_zpsa2hmuger.jpg)
HOUSE OF WAX:
Oh my stars! I NEVER thought I'd have one of these. This, along with THE DAY THE EARTH FROZE above, was something I left a snipe on for an auction that closed the other day. I bid on about a dozen things (there were 3 things i really wanted though...and I ended up winning two of the three. Yahoo!). I certainly did NOT expect to win any of them...especially since I couldn't watch/participate in the actual auction. I was blown away to have won these two though...But I had bid blindly (not expecting to win) with no money to pay for them. I TOLD you I was broke again. EEEK! I ended up charging them...but am able to pay off more than half of the cost right this moment. I hated to do this---but zowie! I won this amazing poster (and DAY THE EARTH FROZE). I am so thrilled! This is a 50s 3D dream come true (Now if only I could also get a CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, REVENGE OF THE CREATURE and IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE...my 3D poster dreams would be ever so happy!).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/House%20of%20Wax_zpswxy0piwm.jpg)
THIS NIGHT I'LL POSSESS YOUR CORPSE (Brazilian):
I paid way, way, WAY too much for this, but it was one of those instances where I was NOT going to let it go. In all of the years since first becoming aware of Brazil's ZE DO CAIXAO / COFFIN JOE character (created by director/actor Jose Mojica Marins) in the late 80s/early 90s, I've only seen this poster one other time...and that was YEARS ago on eBay, where it was snatched out of my fingers at the very last second. I wasn't going to let this 2nd one get away. This is an original 1967 Brazilian poster for ESTA NOITE ENCARNAREI NO TEU CADAVER (which apparently literally translates to "Night Is Incarnate In Your Body", but is better known here on DVD as THIS NIGHT I WILL POSSESS YOUR CORPSE), the 2nd film to feature the COFFIN JOE character. While not the most exciting of posters, it is my very first Coffin Joe poster EVER! I am so excited!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/brazilian_esta_noite_encarnarei_no_teu_cadaver_BM03020_C_zpsfgvmwci4.jpg)
HALLUCINATIONS OF A DERANGED MIND (Brazilian) :
Exactly one week after scoring the Coffin Joe poster---yowza! I score another one. This is for the 5th Coffin Joe/Ze do Caixao film HALLUCINATIONS OF A DERANGED MIND from 1978. I just got this yesterday---and was not about to let it slip through my fingers. So, unfortunately, like HOUSE OF WAX, I had to charge it. EEK! I can NOT do that any more. These were just, um...rare and special occurrences (I hope). My buying is really going to be curtailed from now on... (hopefully).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/brazilian_hallucinations_of_a_deranged_mind_SD02095_T_zpsyrwlzlg2.jpg)
(Did you catch the BONUS post on May 27th? I had too many posters for this one post, so I added a bonus post last Friday,,,which is on the previous page. LOTS of typos in that one. OOPS! Be warned...)
PS for ROSA: Here is a brief clip from THE WOMAN EATER. You can see the cheesy monster in action! Ha!
http://www.youtube.com/v/edBLhIS1MMM
And, if you can stand the terror and feel like watching the whole movie (71 minutes), it's right here:
http://www.youtube.com/v/BHamVuSDRaM
That is all for now. (Heck, it was MORE than enough...)
Happy June-A-Rama!!!!!
CHEERS!

Another far out mix of stuff there, Shawn. Congrats on all the wins.
And I have the same question, too, re: the Robot Monster RR poster. What is a "tv poster" exactly? It's undersize, so not a full OS. Is it a commercial/promotional piece of some kind that was meant to be sold directly to the public? Or where would it have been used/displayed?
Ive seen other TV posters and those often have had the network logo (ABC, CBS) on them, when mini-series, for example, were going to be aired.
-
Hi Jeff.
No it's not ABC or NBC or anything...but it does say MEDALLION TV. I've seen the MEDALLION logo before. I think they deal (dealt? Are they still around?) in (gasp!) Public Domain (or movies that should be public domain...ha!) stuff. But again...what exactly a TV poster is (as opposed to a video) is beyond me. Perhaps they (Medallion TV) sent these out to TV station programmers advertising some of their available movies? Just a guess...

Thanks Shawn. Your description sounds good to me. I just looked up Medallion TV Enterprises. Seems they distributed more B (and lower grade) movies on TV, going back to the 1930s. They are no longer in business, as the original founder (John Hertz Ettlinger) died in 1993.
This link shows their logo, as presented over the years:
http://www.closinglogos.com/page/Medallion+TV+Enterprises
imdb: http://www.imdb.com/company/co0038025/
And it looks like they were involved in a lawsuit with SelecTV, back in 1986:
https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/1974640/medallion-tv-enterprises-v-selectv-of-california/?
In 2008, the Medallion library was purchased by Kit Parker of Kit Parker Films. There is some really interesting background info on Medallion, in this link:

-
Sweet pile o' paper. Do you realize your thread has over 16,000 views! That amazing! You need to just talk posters on youtube and start your MAAG fan army marching!
-
JEFF : Ever the sleuth you are! Ha! I recently watched a pair of DVDs featuring (awful) Jerry Warren flicks (6 total--o' the agony of it all). They were distributed by Kit Karson and had the Medallion TV logo (on several of the films, at least). Karson said (in the final link) that he gort rid of the public domain stuff and what was left he listed. ROBOT MONSTER was NOT on the list...so I'm guessing that is a public domain title after all. Still the TV poster--whatever that is for sure--is an interesting thing. Thanks for digging and uncovering all of this stuff.
JASON : 16,000 views. Is that good? There are many more with far more views than that (and with far fewer pages). I never paid attention to the views...just because it has grown/sprawled to 32 pages after a little more than a year. I thought that was the reason for the views (having to look at all of the new posts) instead of quality (as the others with far fewer pages but far more views) have. As for being on youtube and talking about posters...uh, NO! i kind of tried that once...but just did not feel i was "on camera" material. Ha! I'm happier in this little thread where only you guys can see the stuff I post. But thank you for saying so...
-
GOGO!!!!!! Great finds all the way around. That Food of the Gods was supposed to come to me...will send you an email.
So you have Nightmare 1 and 2 thai, what about the others? lol I have them 1 to 5.
[/b]THIS NIGHT I'LL POSSESS YOUR CORPSE We talked about this one the night you won it, and bravo bravo. I really like it!!
Not being a stranger, but we only have 60 days left to get this project off the ground, and we haven't hung engines loaded landing gear pressurized the wing or cabin........eecckkk
Love your stuff all the way around. BTW, if you wanna send me a Maniac I will take it off your hands!!!
-
Hi there CHRIS/GINGERMAN
The FOTG....Uh, sorry. I didn't know. I sent you a note though. Hmm.
No, I only have NIGHTMARE 1 & 2...but didn't you show me you 1-5? You showed me sooooo many cool posters not too long back, I don't recall what was what exactly. HALLOWEEN, THE BEYOND, and I could have sworn some NIGHTMARE posters. Was that in an email or in a post perhaps? I'll have to look after i answer this. But, as I said in my post at the top, you had some absolutely amazing stuff.
Good luck with work and as for MANIAC...who knows? Once I move back to the house (September-ish) and have time to actually go through my posters, it might just happen. Hmm.
CHEERS!
-
Hello
Great posters and great post. Thank you for sharing. Women eater Well...can I say that I actually enjoyed it? Over the top but good fun. It should be titled Women Molester It really has tentacles to spare! lol
-
Quite a few goodies in this haul, especially liking train on fire with people jumping, camera, earth froze and haunted cave thumbsup.gif
-
ROSA: Thanks for visiting, as always. Glad you liked THE WOMAN MOLESTER,...er, EATER clip! Ha! Tentacles top spare...i like that! Such a creaky monster...too funny.
STEVE: I'm so thrilled you liked several of the posters, but I was shocked the cleavage (PLUS--oh my!) from the Thai VELVET VAMPIRE, the lone (but huge) breast in the 2nd Coffin Joe poster, or ALL of the poster for THE BIG BIRD CAGE did NOT make your list... Shocking! Maybe you need glasses? Your amazing vision seems to be failing... ;D

Haha, I could have an explanation... I might have overdosed on boobs lately (is that possible?) with all the figure sketching classes I have recently been doing... All sorts of poses and angles right in front of me close on a podium. Wednesday's model was the best yet and had good chat with her after, fun fun fun. My drawing are crappy though. Makes me appreciate artists work more
-
Zowie! A booby overdose? I guess you are forgiven. You poor man... HA!
-
Haha " booby overdose" ah...this forum does make me laugh... rofl1 rofl1
-
You have scored some great stuff monster man!!!. I am specially fond of "Glen or Glenda" (any argentinean Ed Wood poster is good for me :D ) and those 2 Ze do Caixao brazilians. Great, great score. Title of the first translates as "Tonight I'll reincarnate in your body"
Keep up the good work!
-
ROSA: Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you found a smile here.
MATIAS: How nice to see you here. I am pleased you enjoyed my South American gems. Thanks for the visit.
It's not a regular posting time for me, but I just picked up a bunch of cheap posters that are not that special. I thought I'd post them now so as not to clutter my post next time.
CANDYMAN:
I probably already have this, but it doesn't hurt to have a spare.

BEYOND THE DOOR:
This is a guilty pleasure of mine. I really dig this stupid rip-off of THE EXORCIST and ROSEMARY'S BABY. I like vintage shots of San Francisco (having lived there, it's interesting to note the changes) and how the family (that supposedly lives there) frequents well-known tourist spots. That would NOT happen in real life. I have this poster already as well (probably more than one?), but the copy I KNOW I have I put into a crappy cheap frame and the bottom has gotten damaged.

JASON X:
Jason in space! I already have this 10th Friday the 13th movie poster, but it was cheap and came with a bonus I didn't have (and which I'll save for my next proper post).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Jason%20X_zpsxd5bbzgv.jpg)
ANGUISH:
I've never seen this movie, i don't think. Interesting poster---all of the eyeballs behind Zelda Rubenstein, the diminutive actress from POLTERGEIST (she got a job?). It's probably a crap film? Anyone see it?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Anguish_zpstkheygoo.jpg)
I, MADMAN:
I've not seen this either...I don't think. Interesting art though. The killer sneaks up on a girl reading a book with an image of a killer sneaking up on a girl. Clever.

CHEERS!
Okay--time for the shower and a L-O-N-G day of work. Groan....
-
I probably already have this, but it doesn't hurt to have a spare.
MAGG put this line on a t-shirt!
On all of your t-shirts ! thumbsup.gif

Crazy Vick , you are crazy brilliant. HA!

Hi there!
Because I am bored and need to go to bed--but don't want to for some reason (even thopugh i am super sleepy), here is another bonus post of new-ish stuff. It's not the best stuff...I'm saving that for the regular post.
THE HANGING WOMAN(aka BEYOND THE LIVING DEAD and RETURN OF THE ZOMBIES):
I got one of these a while back, but this one is in better condition. This is such an obscure Euro zombie flick from the early 70s with Paul Naschy in it as a hunchback lab assistant, if i recall correctly. NOT a great film, or even a very good film...but as it's a zombie flick, I dig it. The titular hanging woman (Ha! That sounds funny just writing it) is only in the very beginning of the film...and, i think, her death was the precursor to some ancient curse--or some such mumbo jumbo. Whatever---who knows what movie goers were expecting with a misleading title like THE HANGING WOMAN, but I'm sure it was not a silly Euro zombie-thon. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/beyond_the_living_dead_ES04110_T_zpsazjwt1ec.jpg)
STUDENT BODIES:
This poster and a few others in this post, the 5 from my last mini-posting, and all of the others in the scheduled post on the 15th with the obvious clips holding the poster up for the photographs, were from this little auction house I had never heard of before. One of their (two) big auctions for the month was a horror/monster collection from some doctor who had collected for 50 years. I was utterly unimpressed. It looked more like something you'd find on eBay than in an auction house. There were no WOW posters...just little trivial things like this and the others. I bid on a lot of them---was outbid on some--but really did not spend very much at all. The other items were mostly monster models. Hmm. I wonder if, when i die, my crap will end up at an auction house somewhere? I expected a big garage sale--if anything at all...
Anyway, mini-bargains for me, i guess.
STUDENT BODIES was an early horror comedy--long before the SCARY MOVIE series. The best thing about it is the poster. Although i think i have one already in my collection (which I'll sort through this fall). The poster promises 13 1/2 dead bodies and 1423 laughs. That is blatant false advertising as there are no laughs. (It wasn't very good--really.) But I really do dig the poster! Shout out to Chris9000 for having similar tastes---and congrats on getting your copy once again!

GOLD OF THE AMAZON WOMEN:
I've never seen this flick--and I realize the Amazons were not supposed to have been cannibals, but I thought this poster would work with my cannibal movie posters---Jungle-y horrors and all.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/gold_of_the_amazon_women_BM06745_T_zpsugzldh3i.jpg)
HULA HULA (Italian 2F):
Here's an Italian poster I thought would work in either the cannibal or tiki corner of the Monster A GoGo Shack-o-rama. Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Hula%20Hula_zpsfhjdu8t8.jpg)
THE ROMAN SPRING OF MRS. STONE:
What is THIS doing in the Shock-o-rama Poster Show? Well, I do like both Vivian Leigh and Warren Beatty, but the real draw was Tennessee Williams. Williams was great. His subjects were always defective people with defective lives---but all done with great subtly and the restrain of the conservative 1950s. GLASS MENAGERIE, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER, CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF, etc. They all deal with damaged people in tragically dreary lives. I'm fascinated. Although Williams wrote into the 80s, most of his later plays were flops/critical failures.
THE ROMAN SPRING OF MRS. STONE is an interesting tale with sad characters and situations. Mrs. Stone is an aging movie star visiting Rome, who is also a recent widow. She encounters a woman, Lotte Lenya (who was Rosa Klebb in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE was Oscar nominated for this) plays a woman who can arrange young male companionship. Beatty is the young gigolo (but who has a girlfriend, Jill St. John). So Stone/Leigh falls for the impossibly young man who can never really be hers. It's not the best Williams tale, but again, it was written/made in a more conservative era.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/roman_spring_of_mrs_stone_WC04714_T_zpsrjwqdpmk.jpg)
THE FOREST:
I already have one of these--but I bought another. I'll re-sell it later. This is a case of the poster being better than the movie--in a BIG way. The movie SUCKS! But this 80s slasher poster is hard to come by.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Forest_zpslxfpadnx.jpg)
JASON X (Advance):
In my last mini-post, I shared the release one sheet for the Friday the 13th Jason in space epic, JASON X. This is supposed to be an advance one sheet for the film. i had NEVER seen this one--so, of course, I bought the lot (it had both posters in it).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Jason%20X%20advance_zpsgpv2erct.jpg)
Okay--I'm heading to bed now. I'll be back with my regular posting on the 15th.
CHEERS!

Hey buddy, thanks for the shout out.... love the artwork on that Hanging Woman! I saw it somewhere not too long ago, and almost went after it b/c of the artwork, even though it bucked my "not seen/no buy" rule.
You ever thought about starting a sight.. I could probably spend hours browsing and drooling over your collection.

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/roman_spring_of_mrs_stone_WC04714_T_zpsrjwqdpmk.jpg)
I really like these 2. Great perspective on the first one. I feel like I wanted to buy it from Bruce recently and forgot about it for some reasons. Come to think of it, the 2nd one too.

-
CHRIS 9000. I'm still so glad you scored a STUDENT BODIES. Bravo. I'm also glad you liked THE HANGING WOMAN. It really is misleading as to what the movie is about...and I love the fact they blatantly ripped off the ad tagline from LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT ("To avoid fainting, keep repeating 'It's only a movie. It's only a movie. it's only a movie...") with "For the squeamish, keep repeating It can't be true. It can't be true. It can't be true..."! Ha!
THIERRY, I'm also glad you liked a few of my recent posters in this thread of schlock and dread. I agree with you on the perspective of THE HANGING WOMAN poster. And had you wanted to go for them on emovie, you wouldn't have had much competition from me. As I said, i already have a HANGING WOMAN (I was just getting a better copy) and this was my umpteenth half-hearted attempt for a MRS. STONE poster. I wasn't gonna fight for it. Next time, maybe you'll pick them up. But I'm glad they were both worthy of your attention. I also meant to mention when I originally posted the poster that, even though I like Warren Beatty, he was horribly miscast in the row. They should have really cast a young Italian guy and not had WB play Italian (in tan make-up and cheesy accent). It was more of a distraction than anything. But then, of course Hollywood would have had it's then-current pretty boy in the part instead of some outsider who truly was the nationality.
Thank you BOTH for visiting.
CHEERS!

You know, I'm not a big schlock and dread person, so most of these B movie posters are a little too much for me, but the classy ones (or the horror well done), you have my attention.
T
-
Yes, I know. Which is why it's always a pleasure (and a surprise) to see you here. Thanks again for coming by. CHEERS!
-
I like the Jason x poster.nice looking one
-
Well thank you, Ezhil. Do you happen to know anything about it? It was supposed to be an advance (so says the auction house), but I had not seen that poster before. Thanks for visiting. I hope you are enjoying the forum.
CHEERS!
-
Hey Shawn, you mentioned that the Jason X is supposed to be an advance... I see EMP has sold this one, describing it as an advance:
(http://www.emovieposter.com/images/moviestars/AA151217/550/jason_x_advance_SD03608_C.jpg)
Is yours a US (advance) release? What does the line of small text on the bottom right border say? And what are the dimensions?
Might yours be a teaser? Or a commercial poster? (So many questions, so little time... ;D )
-
Hi Jeff. I don't know the answers to your questions--as the poster is not here yet. This is the link to the auction listing. I only spent $15 for the two posters in the lot. My saying it's an advance one sheet is based on the auction's listing entirely:
http://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/-1-c-A4643EB96F (http://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/-1-c-A4643EB96F)
It being a teaser is a possibility as the other poster in the lot is clearly an advance (now that I really look at it).
And now it's 5:30 in the morning. UGH. Time to get ready for work. Groan....
Cheers!
-
TBD, as they say.. and always love a bit of a mystery.
The auction site says it's also 27x40 so that's cool, too.
-
I think the US advance sheet is the one shown by Jeff.I have seen this poster before and withhold from buying .I guess it not an advance but the poster came after the movie release.
I may be wrong too ;D ;D
-
JEFF and EZHIL: Yes, I do realize the poster Jeff posted (which I posted a few days before the current post) is the advance poster. The other one is the mystery. Is it a teaser or a simple commercial poster or what? No idea. Just going by the auction site's description. Either way, i got both for $15---not bad for only one original...if that's the case. Thank you for your help though.
-
Hey Shawn..
First, a thanks to Jason (jedgerley) for sending this link to movieposter.com -- and it identifies what your "mystery" Jason X poster is, too. It's described as an "after market, commercial poster":
http://www.movieposter.com/poster/MPW-26155/Jason_X.html
One other style was also produced: http://www.movieposter.com/poster/MPW-4836/Jason_X.html
-
Ahhh. Jason get the kudos here. Thanks! And thank you, Jeff for orchestrating it. Just a commercial poster--oh well. The auction site LIED! Ha! I told you it was a smaller obscure auction house and the big auction was like someone's eBay page. Oh well. They clearly are NOT experts and I only wasted $15. I'm over it. But I do appreciate the mystery being solved. Thanks guys!
-
And considering, too, what movieposter.com sells that poster alone for, you got a deal. :D
Seems like the auction didnt really know what it was, even tho they consulted with someone about the items and posters.
(And there were very many cool things, aside from posters, in that auction.. from Aurora models, to other resin models.. and all "pro-painted," according to the descriptions).
Gratz again, Shawn.
-
Perhaps. I'm just NOT a fan of models...
CHEERS! And THANK YOU again!
And now to bed... 5 a.m. comes way, WAY too early.
Good night!

Hi there. I just survived 3 days (36 hours) of 12-hour shifts. To celebrate, I thought I'd do a little mini-posting before my regularly scheduled posting in 2 days. These are all recent purchases, but most of these are things you've seen before on my thread--repeated buys--so why save them?
THE LOST WORLD OF SINBAD:
Another poster I already have (I think it's in that ancient video of mine showing my framed posters), but I think it's a better copy. Trading up... This Sinbad may seem obscure to you. It's NOT really a Sinbad film. It's a Japanese adventure fantasy film that was redubbed a Sinbad flick when it was imported to the US. That was NOT the original intent of the film makers. I've not since this Sinbad yet, but it would probably be strange watching a Japanese actor playing "Sinbad" after Kerwin Matthews or Patrick Wayne or whoever.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/lost_world_of_sinbad_BM06745_T_zpskfxiden8.jpg)
MOVIE STAR AMERICAN STYLE OR LSD I HATE YOU:
And ANOTHER repeat. I just got one of these a few months ago. I LOVE it. The faux Marilyn, the ditzy text {"Who am I?" "How did LSD change my life?"), the colorful, yet cheesy framing. It's just so campy wonderful. This was a better copy (and a CHEAPER copy! Ha!).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/movie_star_american_style_or_lsd_i_hate_you_ES04110_T_zpsm2zpuuq5.jpg)
THE STUFF :
Ha! I just realized I "won" this as a multi-poster lot a while back--and never knew it. Not that I needed or wanted it...but, whoo hoo...another poster!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/THE%20STUFF_zpsv8vxzgev.jpg)
MISTRESS OF THE APES:
I have this poster already as well. I've never seen the flick--but like the poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/mistress_of_the_apes_BM06745_T_zpsevfmkgtq.jpg)
That's it for now---just a little appetizer before my usual posting which should go up sometime Wednesday. Check back then, if you'd like.
And now to get me some much deserved SLEEP!
Good night, kiddies!
CHEERS!

Hi there. We are half way through June. Jeepers! This year is flying by! Here is my latest batch o' posters. It's 13 posters, but not all that special. There is a (eek!) repeat or two and some non-horror (gasp!) additions this time out.
Whatever, here they are:
KILLING KOLSUZ KAHRAMAN'A KARSI (Turkish):
Laugh if you want...I DID, which is why I bought this poster. I find it too funny. (But for something only slightly amusing to me, i spent too much on it. Blah.) Dig the action star with the perfect helmet hair, the big bell bottom and heeled shoes--not to mention is martial arts technique (which actually looks like he is caressing his opponent's head. But just look at his concentration). He's fighting a man dressed in a skeleton costume. Then there's the big-haired bimbo with the big platform go-go boots. Jeepers. Looks like an unintentional laugh a minute. O' if only i understood Turkish, i''d track a copy of the movie down...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/turkish_killing_kolsuz_kahramana_karsi_SD05130_T_zps1isgsfvu.jpg)
MAUSOLEUM:
I've never seen MAUSOLEUM (or the similarly themed? FUNERAL HOME from about the same time). They never played here. Waaaagh. Because of this, I've always longed for the posters for both (but didn't want to pay much--especially for the FUNERAL HOME poster---kind of dull). I do really like this poster though. The creepy giant skeleton grabbing the creepy mausoleum with the door slightly ajar showing a creepy dark interior while emitting a creepy fog. CREEPY -A-GOGO, baby! (The movie probably sucks though...)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Mausoleum_zpstpu7vadi.jpg)
PSYCHO CIRCUS:
ANOTHER repeat poster buy for me---but this one is in better condition (and cheaper) than my original. I find the artwork stunning but I've never seen the movie.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Psycho%20Circus_zpsg1swn3zo.jpg)
THE THREE DIMENSIONS OF GRETA:
Another poster I've been wanting for years but never wanted to spend much on. I've also never seen this--probably awful--but I love the cool coming off of the screen image in the poster advertising the 3D film. Wow!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/three_dimensions_of_greta_ES04110_T_zpsjb3mg1if.jpg)
THE SKULL:
Glad I finally got one of these (or do i already have one?). The poster I REALLY want that is similar to this that has eluded me forever is "The Screaming Skull". I'll get that eventually--but this is a nice consolation/tide me over poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/skull_BM06745_T_zpswpmu2s3i.jpg)
TEENAGE TORTURE (aka TEENAGE ZOMBIES):
I got the poster for TEENAGE ZOMBIES (didn't I? I think i did anyway) not long back. It's a CRAPPY old clunker from the 50s...about as brain dead as its subjects. However--I was drawn to the re-titled poster with different art work. Great verbiage: "Girls in weird terror cages", "Human sacrifices! Cruel! Inhuman!", "Torture drugs! Nerve gas! Bizarre! Sick! Weird!" I wonder how many people were suckered into seeing this...after suffering through it under its original title? Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/teenage_zombies_R60s_teenage_torture_style_ES03461_L_zps25v9wcps.jpg)
TRAUMA:
Oooo. I don't know this movie at all (Udo Kier is in it?) but stumbled on the poster and liked it a lot. Sold! I also have a special assignment for Steve with this one. Can you please explain what is wrong with the girl in the red's boob? It looks "double-breasted"---on ONE side. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/trauma_WC04606_T_zps78etzxy3.jpg)
FLESH GORDON (Spanish):
Okay--my little Flesh Gordon renaissance is finally winding down after getting this and the next poster. (Still need to track down a US Flesh Gordon 2 though...and maybe the original FG quad?) This Spanish FLESH GORDON isn't as cool as some of the others--but still fun and has some great little scenes within it. It was also done by famed Spanish poster artist Jano (Attention ROSA, if you are out there....).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Flesh%20Gordon%20Spanish_zps4lw1bstp.jpg)
FLESH GORDON (Italian 2F):
Oh my stars! THIS Italian FLESH GORDON is gorgeous! WOW! So colorful. I had to have it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Flesh%20Gordon%20Italian_zpsqorlnzxf.jpg)
TENEBRE (Italian 2F):
Speaking of Italian posters, I scored this TENEBRE recently. I've not seen this yet (How is that possible?), but I do dig my (early-ish...70s and 80s) Dario Argento. Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Tenebre_zpsauvkh1k9.jpg)
GODZILLA VS THE BIONIC MONSTER (aka GODZILLA VS THE COSMIC MONSTER and GODZILLA VS MECHAGODZILLA):
Hooray! Another of the early GODZILLA flicks (I want them all between the original and GODZILLA 1985), This is the first poster I've gotten for this film under ANY title (I think). The reason for the crazy re-titling is because Universal threatened to sue over the use of "Bionic" in the title (as they were making "The Six Million Dollar Man" and "The Bionic Woman" at the time). The final title--GODZILLA VS MECHAGODZILLA --was the best and most iconic, I think. Yahoo....one more Godzilla poster down. Four (?) more ( VS COSMIC, VS MECHA, TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA, and the original GODZILLA) left to go (as not all of the early films played theatrically here in the US). Oh wait--there's something called DESTROY ALL MONSTERS I need to go with the set as well. Argh. One step forward--one step back.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Godzilla%20Vs%20The%20Bionic%20Monster_zpsjnraetcj.jpg)
THE TOOLBOX MURDERS :
I have wanted a TOOLBOX MURDERS poster since the film came out in 1978. (I don't think I had one yet). Such a sleazy, cheesy little movie. I wanted to see this movie soooooo bad as a kid based on the commercials and the poster art (in the newspapers). I had to wait until the VHS era to finally track it down. Now the poster is mine too. Yippie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Toolbox%20Murders_zpsw6prblyj.jpg)
THE INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN :
YaHOO! I LOVE this poster. I won it via snipe while at work. Sure it's not pristine and does have a used look about it. Normally I would have PASSED on it...but somehow the wear plus the cheesiness (green face/red eyes/ lightning bolts around the outstretched arms/etc.) of this 50s drive-in feature poster really worked for me. I totally dig it as is. So grindhouse-y. And jinkies-- 300,000 volts of horror! Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Industructable%20Man_zps53rxomou.jpg)
I know I keep saying i need to cut back/stop spending. But I really can NOT keep this up. I've been buying from Heritage for a little more than a year and when you bring up your history of winning bids, it shows you how much you have spent. Holy crap-a-rama. I won't say how much it was---but i could have so used that money for something else (like paying down my student loans or getting a better car) And that's just Heritage. How much have I spent on the other auction sites? OH MY STARS! It's CRAZY. My extra cash I've had for a while has finally dried up...so i really am broke, broke, BROKE! I really have no living expenses right now (no rent or utilities, etc.)--just gas and food. That will all come to a crashing end when i move back in to my house in September (maybe sooner). I've got to kick this habit... or, at least return it to what it was in my teens (maybe a dozen posters a year...if that!).
Also, there may NOT be a July 1st posting as I will be on a long 2-week road trip with friends. (Hopefully I won't have any posters to share anyway). I'll be gone June 26 thru July 10....and then work a ton o' days right after that (so there may not be a July 15th posting either--because hopefully I won't have time to buy anything. ha!).
Oh well, we will see what happens. Either I'll have something to post or not.
I hope you all are enjoying your summer (or, if down below the equator, your winter!) Have a go-go groovy day.
CHEERS!

I am liking swinging Greta and her bananas and The Skull art! Have a great trip
-
Thanks Steve...but you missed this note to you for the TRAUMA poster:
TRAUMA:
Oooo. I don't know this movie at all (Udo Kier is in it?) but stumbled on the poster and liked it a lot. Sold! I also have a special assignment for Steve with this one. Can you please explain what is wrong with the girl in the red's boob? It looks "double-breasted"---on ONE side. Ha!
-
Ah yes, I see, the artist got the arms and boobs muddled up mismatched. The other lady in the poster is well designed thumbsup.gif
-
Maybe this lady on the TRAUMA poster was the first bionic woman attempt/reject, before they got it right with Lindsay Wagner. ;D
(http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q719/spitfire3992/biowoman_zps9upgxlxg.jpg)
-
There is some sort of TRAUMA going on with her... Ha! It makes the poster that much more fun.
Thanks for looking guys.
-
Wow...
Non-stop with the killer pickups buddy. Congrats on the all. Always loved that Mausoleum artwork, and the Teenage Torture and Mistress of the Apes are other standouts.
-
Hi Chris. Thanks for stopping by. I am glad you liked a few of the posters. I'm an addict, which is why they are coming so fast and furiously.
Although you didn't mention the GODZILLA VS THE BIONIC MONSTER poster, I'm going to attach a new poster i just got. It's another poster (different style) for the same movie. (And--apparently the COSMIC MONSTER / MECHAGODZILLA releases just used the same poster art as this one and the previous one with the new titles slapped on them. Argh!).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Godzilla%20Vs%20The%20Bionic%20Monster%20B_zpsmfc0nzfp.jpg)
CHEERS!

Ahhh. Jason get the kudos here. Thanks! And thank you, Jeff for orchestrating it. Just a commercial poster--oh well. The auction site LIED! Ha! I told you it was a smaller obscure auction house and the big auction was like someone's eBay page. Oh well. They clearly are NOT experts and I only wasted $15. I'm over it. But I do appreciate the mystery being solved. Thanks guys!
Admittedly I accidentally bought a repro the same week lol. Lumped it in with some others and it pretty much knew it was probably a repro but I took a $10 chance. The size was misdescribed as being 27x40 and it was actually 24x36. I woulda posted about your fake personally but had no time and hate to chime in and call out fakes lol
-
Thanks all the same. I had a feeling there was something up with the poster --and even asked for info on it---because I had never seen one before. As I said, it 2as cheap ($15? I forget now) for both posters. No great loss. Cheers and thanks for stopping by.
-
I'm home sick today. Waaaagh!
Anyway, I was working on my next posting and there were just too many posters (14 so far). So, since I like to post 10 or fewer at a time, I decided to just slap these extraneous (and kind of dull--but then, there's not really much to get excited about in the next regular post either) four on here as an "I'm home sick BONUS POST"!
PAGAN ISLAND:
I had no idea what this movie was---and it was really nothing I needed--but it looked cheesy and quasi-tiki...and dig the stupid monster. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Pagan%20Island_zpsu9t2mxnd.jpg)
ISLAND WOMEN :
Whipped by hurricane passions...in the sin center of the Caribbean. Ha! ISLAND WOMEN! Another poster I didn't need that was cheap. Kind of fun. Whatever.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Island%20Women_zps6cco4ebv.jpg)
THE INVINCIBLE GLADIATOR :
As you know, I like my old Hercules-type movies from the 50s and 60s. This poster is kind of lame---just black and white, no color. I just recently got a double-feature combo poster with this as a second feature--also black and white. Whatever.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Invincible%20Gladiator_zpsvnilqs3d.jpg)
POPSTAR--NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING: I won this poster on emovie on June 16th...while I was watching the movie in the theater. It was the last night it was in town--it bombed big time. (I was the ONLY ONE in the theater...NO ONE would go with me. ha!) I thought it was okay---sort of like an updated SPINAL TAP. I dig mockumentaries, and while it wasn't hilarious, it was okay. I only bid on the poster because I was off to see the movie. I didn't expect to really win it. I got it for my max bid of $8. Ha! Guess it is more unpopular than I thought. But really--I thought the movie was okay.

Oh, what the heck? Here are a few more (a BONUS bonus posting). Again--nothing too exciting (SNORE!).
JACK FROST (lenticular):
I never saw this movie...it sounded dumb (and I would much rather watch the horror movie they ripped off with nearly the same plot device and the same title, JACK FROST). Michael Keaton gets killed and comes back as a snowman? Snore. But I was not going to let a lenticular poster go by at such a cheap price. SNAG!

BAGHEAD:
I saw this movie a few years ago. i don't remember it all that well, but I THINK I liked it. It was about a small group of people who go to a cabin in the woods to write a fictional horror movie about a killer who wears a bag on his head...and, coincidentally, a killer who wears a bag on his head shows up. Huh? Exactly.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/baghead_dupe2_WC02676_T_zpssjidiubz.jpg)
CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES :
I already have a copy of this poster. However, it was going pretty cheaply so i picked it up. The original APES series is still pretty cool.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Conquest%20of%20the%20Planet%20of%20the%20Apes_zpskm7n9dua.jpg)
I SAW THE DEVIL :
I have never seen this film, but I've heard good things about it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/i_saw_the_devil_abandon_style_SD05889_T_zpssaio3f3b.jpg)
Happy poster shopping. Hopefully you are scoring better things than I have lately.
CHEERS!

Hi there. It's either late June or early July...possibly even July 1st. (I'm writing this June 16th as i know I'll be on my road trip when posting time comes around--and I won't have time to put this together then...if it gets posted at all.) Unfortunately, i DO have some (too many, actually) new (to me) posters to share with you. They are mostly nothing special though... Here they are:
INDEPENDENCE DAY (Style B):
When I saw this up for auction, it occurred to me that I don't have any of the ID4 posters. I put a bid in for this style B version...and was delighted to see I won it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/independence_day_advance_styleB_SD05842_T_zpscrqmbypu.jpg)
BREAKIN' 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO:
I have never seen (nor will i ever see) either of the "BREAKIN' " movies. I will also probably never buy the poster for the original "Breakin' ". However, when you get to sequels, no movie sequel has ever had a more awesomely asinine subtitle than BREAKIN' 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO. It's been mocked for years -- and rightly so. I love that subtitle and think there should be a law that requires every sequel with a "2" in the title to have "Electric Boogaloo" as its subtitle. i can just see it now-- "JAWS 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO", "THE GODFATHER 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO", "EXORCIST 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO" (well, that might be the exception to the rule. People might mistake it for Linda Blair's epic ROLLER BOOGIE--easy mistake. BOTH are awful). But you can see how catchy the subtitle is. And---just look at those hip 80s fashions. Uh...what 80s were they in? i NEVER dressed that outrageously! Golly, I wonder what ever happened to stars Adolfo "Shabba Doo" Quinones or Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers? They're probably anxiously awaiting Breakin' 3 to be green lit any day now... Ha! All of this joy for only 1 cent (plus shipping)! Fabulous!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Breakin%202_zpsbhndgyrs.jpg)
ROMANCING THE STONE:
Not that I needed this (and I probably already have this anyway), but it only set me back $2.25. I got it to pad out the postage for my "Breakin' 2" poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Romancing%20the%20Stone_zps7m0feinj.jpg)
PASSION PLANTATION (aka BLACK & WHITE EMMANUELLE) (Italian 2F):
I didn't need this poster. I got it for $5. I have the sleazy/awesome US poster already--which I like better. Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/italian_1p_passion_plantation_SD05767_T_zpsjnh6uofz.jpg)
HELLRAISER: DEADER:
Yes, this IS a video poster. It's one of those instances where if you really want the poster, you have to take a video poster--as there was no theatrical posters made (because it did not play theatrically). This was one of the awful direct-to-video sequels...but I've decided to track them all down anyway. Why not? I have the theatrical posters for the first 4 films already...I might as well finish it off. (That is, if they bothered to make posters for all of the DVD movies they released...)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/hellraiser_deader_video_dupe2_BM06257_T_zps71rovhr9.jpg)
THE DAY TIME ENDED:
I've never seen this flick...but have heard that it is an ambitious low-budget thing that is worth a look. Why not get the poster?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/day_time_ended_KM00943_T_zpsruiv9ij7.jpg)
FRANKENSTEIN'S CASTLE OF FREAKS:
I saw this obscurity years and years ago---and need to see it again--as I remember liking it (in a jaw-droppingly wonderfully bad sort of way). I don't remember much about it---but what a great title.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Frankensteins%20Castle%20of%20Freaks_zpsbtq9aort.jpg)
INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (International):
I've wanted this for years. There are actually a few different foreign versions, but this is my first one. The US one sheets for this 70s remake are just dull (I think). I didn't need this--but it is still cool.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Invasion%20of%20the%20Body%20Snatchers%20International_zpsxtfclzpe.jpg)
NAZI LOVE CAMP:
I actually had this poster a long while ago. I wasn't wild about the artwork (the women at the bottom are little more than thick stick figures). So i stupidly sold it--not realizing what it was--for next to nothing. Stupid. I'm still not wild about the art, but I now realize what I've got. The Nazisploitation cycle may not have lasted all that long (what a bizarre-o subgenre to have ever come about), but to certain collectors/fans, these posters are worth a lot.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/nazi_love_camp_KM00944_T_zpsjbchkoye.jpg)
TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME :
I already have this as well. I hope this is a better copy than the one I already have. While the movie was not the best (although it did have some amazing moments), I LOVED the series and am super excited for the new season/series coming next year.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Twin%20Peaks%20Fire%20Walk%20With%20Me_zpsvhg2w86w.jpg)
SUICIDE SQUAD:
I have no clue what this movie is about...but I totally dig the poster. With all of the skulls...it's very Monster A GoGo-esque. (Now watch the movie suck...)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/suicide_squad_art_style_teaser_SD05843_L_zpsobqfcxnd.jpg)
THE FROZEN GHOST:
I've not seen this film either, but couldn't resist the poster. It's a wonderful old school shocker from 1944. Great color, Lon Chaney...and, although it's NOT a classic monster, it's still vintage Universal. Cool. (Well, I think it is...)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/frozen_ghost_KM01120_T_zpszrjwkcfn.jpg)
That it for now. I'm heading off on my road trip today (writing this on the 26th), so if I happen to get more posters between now and the 1st, I'll save them for a future post. I hope you are all well.
Cha-cha-cha-CHEERS!

Cha-cha-cha-CHEERS!
I'd love to know who the actor, "Boris Lugosi," is, in Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks.
And Ive also always had a spot for "Twin Peaks" and Laura Palmer. The line, "She's wrapped in plastic...." will always be associated (for me) with that show. Fire Walk With Me was an interesting way for Lynch to continue with the series, doing it theatrically.
-
Thanks for mentioning "Boris Lugosi". In my haste to get this prepped I totally forgot about that. DUH! But what a great bogus name to confuse the casual moviegoer, right? Ha! Love it!
And TWIN PEAKS FIRE WALK WITH ME, while it wasn't great, it was more TWIN PEAKS and had some great stuff in it none the less. I loved the show and am so anxious for the new series next year... Oh wait, I essentially said the same thing in my original posting. Ha!
CHEERS!
-
Long before boxed DVDs or released VHS sets, I set my VCR to record the TV series, "Twin Peaks," when it would originally air on Friday nights.
I still have a number of those cassettes with the original aired episodes on tape (as well as the commercials of those years). ;)
-
Dig out your VHS machine or program your TIVO (DVR?...I have neither, Rarely watch TV.) for the new series. I'll probaby have to wait for the DVD as I don't have cable (see reason above for not having Tivo). I'm super excited!
-
I very much like the art on Frozen Ghost thumbsup.gif
-
Thank you sir. THE FROZEN GHOST is my favorite poster of the batch.
-
Hi there. It's hard to imagine that it's mid-July...already! Well, it certainly is HOT enough for July---but where does the time go-go? I am actually preparing this on July 13th (as I work on the 14th and 15th). I just got back from a 2 week road trip (June 26th thru July 10th) through the Pacific Northwest (Oregon and Washington). Aside from some snipes i placed before leaving and maybe about three times accessing the internet when I had some down time, I really enjoyed the vacation from my daily hunt for posters. Imagine my surprise when, while assembling this post, I realized I had somehow still managed to acquire 13 posters!!! ARGH! How did that happen?
Anyway--here they are...
WALK OF THE DEAD:
Not a great poster (and i believe i already have one), this was included in a lot with other posters. Otherwise this would NOT be on the list.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Walk%20of%20the%20Dead_zpsjhpyzods.jpg)
THE PIT:
Another poster that I probably already have and am not enamored with---but it was included in the same lot as the above poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Pit_zpsj0cfb7ro.jpg)
NEW HOUSE ON THE LEFT (aka NIGHT TRAIN MURDERS, LAST STOP ON THE NIGHT TRAIN, SECOND HOUSE ON THE LEFTY, and/or LAST HOUSE PART 2):
I DO already have this poster--but couldn't resist this inexpensive 2nd (3rd? 4th?) copy." Why? I love it for a number of reasons. It's scamming the would-be movie-goer in soooo many ways. First of all, the title suggests that it is a sequel to LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT---which it is NOT. (In other releases of this same movie it was also called SECOND HOUSE ON THE LEFT and LAST HOUSE PART 2). The movie is really an Italian LAST HOUSE knock-off that takes place on a train (hence its other release titles LAST STOP ON THE NIGHT TRAIN and NIGHT TRAIN MURDERS). The 2nd and 3rd thing i like about the scamminess of the poster is the artwork. If you are thinking it's a LAST HOUSE movie, the image suggests a scared woman is sitting in her chair in her living room. Look at the chair closely. It is no Laz-E-Boy she's sitting in, but a train seat. The ad copy screams that the windows look out on hell, with a creepy surreal drawing of mysterious cloaked figures in a bizarre, barren landscape, coming at the windows. NOTHING like that happens at all in the film. The final thing i like about this poster is the gimmicky SEAL OF CONSUMER AWARENESS in the bottom center. It says the the ticket price is onl;y a down payment. The 'balance will be extracted from your nerves minute by minute"! Yowza! If I had been old enough when this came out, I'd have been hooked and been there. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/New%20House%20on%20the%20Left_zpswcr8vy8z.jpg)
WILD THINGS:
This was cheap and I genuinely like this little thriller. Why not? It was very unexpected--with great twists and turns.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Wild%20Things_zpsfcvjcvqm.jpg)
STAR WARS 7: THE FORCE AWAKENS (Indian 6-sheet):
I do not know what possessed me to buy this. I'm not a big STAR WARS fan. I guess the recent (and still occurring) STAR WARS frenzy had me thinking down the line towards the resell market. I only paid $30 for this plus shipping. I didn't even realize at first when i placed my snipe bid that it was from India. Ha! Anyway, this is my first (and, I'm sure, probably LAST) 6-sheet poster. (If you have not noticed, with a few exceptions here and there, i've been regressing back to my first passion of US one sheets again.)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Star%20Wars%207%206sheet%20Pakistan_zpsvr0vwow7.jpg)
THE LEGEND OF TARZAN (Final release):
This is the 2nd and final one sheet for the new TARZAN flick. I already have the advance version with a different image...but neither poster does it for me. Hmm. Oh well, you know me and my TARZAN movies... I have all of the posters back to the mid-Gordon Scott era (plus one Lex Barker plus one re-release Weismeuller and even one from the silent era), so i "needed" this one as well. I saw the movie today, actually. It was okay--not great. It was what I expected--but also not what i expected. i wasn'r wild about the Skarsgard guy as Tarzan (he seemed very stiff--especially at the beginning). Christof Waltz was the villain and i usually like Waltz--but he was sort of wasted here. And all of the vine swinging looked very CGI. Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Legend%20of%20Tarzan%20B_zpsn0hvzoxz.jpg)
DEATH HOUSE:
This is clearly a poster for a movie that has been re-titled...but I am too lazy to bother looking it up. Ha! The poster was interesting so why not?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Death%20House_zps4h6wdvhw.jpg)
THE CHILD (Italian 4F):
I stumbled on this a long while back--about the time I scored the Italian 2F poster for THE CHILD with completely different artwork. I really liked this one as well--all of the zombies heading for the house--but it was pricey and a 4F (eeek! Those are just TOO LARGE), so i held off. It went on sale so i snagged it. How will I ever frame it and where will i ever hang it? Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Child%20Italian%204F_zpsnrjwazkv.jpg)
VOODOO WOMAN:
Although it's a little rougher than I normally like my posters, I am delighted (and surprised) that i "won" this old AIP / drive-in poster from the 50s. Very keen!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Voodoo%20Woman_zpsorydmub2.jpg)
THE EVIL DEAD (Thai):
Here's another surprise--a Thai EVIL DEAD (I already had the Thai EVIL DEAD 2) for far cheaper than I have seen around in a long time. How did I score that? I THINK it was because the seller failed to list (except in the description) that the poster was Thai. Those searching for Thai copies wouldn't necessarily find it. Those looking for the US one sheet wouldn't want it either. There were bids, but the final price was far less than other dealers have it listed at. Hooray!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Evil%20Dead%20Thai_zpsk1xgdivn.jpg)
THE UNEARTHLY:
Zowie! Another unexpected vintage 50s drive-in poster win for me I got with a snipe. This is a pretty crappy movie--but it (and the poster) features John Carradine, Tor Johnson and Allison (the "50 Ft Woman") Hayes! Yowza! "Guaranteed to Frighten!"
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Unearthly_zps7eaygtfz.jpg)
BEACH GIRLS AND THE MONSTER:
Whoo hoo! I am utterly, UTTERLY surprised/delighted to have won this. While this auction was running, I was on the final 3 hour drive home on the last leg of my road trip. I had placed bids on several things before starting off and I was outbid on everything else (I actually DID shockingly try to re-bid on things a few times while driving. Shhh! Don't rat me out! But I ended up just letting them go...). When i discovered this was actually mine I was totally elated. A few months back i tried to get a copy. Jeff had even seen it listed and had sent me a text, telling me that the poster looked like something I needed for my collection...but it went too high and I let it go. Waaaagh! I had been regretting it ever since. However this copy went for at least $30 or $40 less than the other copy. Yahoo! And what a groovy, kitschy, cheesy poster...with music by Frank Sinatra Jr. Kowabunga!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/beach_girls_and_the_monster_KM01105_L_zpsiakzofra.jpg)

ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE:
Wow! Wow! Wow! Another poster i never thought I'd have...and it's now mine! I love this old movie. I used to watch it Saturday mornings on an old afternoon horror double feature show when I was a kid. It (and other great horror flicks of the 50s and early 60s---such as THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN, ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN, ATTACK OF THE MUSHROOM PEOPLE, BURN WITCH BURN, etc.--were repeated over and over every few months.) I love it. Yahooooo!!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Attack%20of%20the%20Puppet%20People_zps4tlp5ydx.jpg)
Okay poster pals...that's my 13 posters for this mid-month posting. I hope you are staying cool and finding hot poster bargains! Whoo hoo!
Here's a photo from my trip...me in a tiki bar in Portland and, eek! My drink is on fire! Yikes!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/tiki%20on%20fire%20b_zpshmvlv4uf.jpg)
CHEERS!
-
Attack of the puppet people looks in great condition, well done!
-
Can't believe its taken me over one hour to get caught up on this insane thread of yours, Shawn.
What an impressive collection.
When you sort things out, put me first on your list of duplicates for sale, please.
cheers
-
STEVE: The poster is in wonderful condition. I am pleased as punch with it. Is that a puppet person in your pants or have you just come from figure drawing class again? Thanks for stopping by (and did I really just make that lame, in poor taste joke? UGH!).
TED: WHERE have you been? I was worried about you. in fact i sent you a short note a while back wondering if something had happened to you. golly, it is good to see you on here again. Sorry it took so long to catch up on my posters...but that's what you get for not being here. Really--it's awesome to have you back on board! Thanks for looking and leaving a note.
CHEERS!
-
Attack of the puppet people looks in great condition, well done!
+1 here too, Shawn.
Good looking PP one sheet and in great shape, too.
And your IT 4F for The Child is totally creepy and I really like the Mafe art. thumbsup.gif
I agree with the size factor, too. I don't have any 4F, probably for the same reason of how I would ever display one.
-
Hi JEFF! You caught me on my way to bed. (5 am comes earlier and earlier every day it seems. Groan...). Thanks for the nods toward the PUPPET PEOPLE and THE CHILD. I have half a dozen or so 4Fs....how does one even frame them since they are in 2 pieces? I doubt I'll buy more---but you never know. The regular 2Fs are plenty big enough. Yowzer! Anyway, thanks for coming by. Cheers!

Some linen back them and others maybe minimally put the 2 halves together with archival paper tape and then let the frame, mat and backing provide the rest of the support. But the wall space needed is what would get me. As an example, I own only one US 3-sheet and I think the same thing about that, too (framing and display-wise). faint2.gif
-
The unearthly poster is brilliant, great pick up there mate, although it is def one of those cases where the poster is far better than the movie. I'll add that to my ever growing "Want List" which seems to be getting longer, i cross one off the list then add three - it will never end i feel and i hope it doesn't
-
Hi there! Forgive my tardiness in replying. I've been busy working--and NOT living the dream. Ha!
JEFF thanks for the 4F mounting tips. The archival tape (minimal damage) sounds like the best route for me.
DAMOMAC, how nice of you to visit and leave a note. I'm glad you like THE UNEARTHLY, but i know what you mean about your want list growing and Growing and GROWING and G-R-O-W-I-N-G!!! CHEERS!
-
It's BONUS poster-a-go-go time once again, kiddies. WHY? Because I just got a bunch of stuff I'm not "wild" about (WHY do i continually do that?) and i don't want to "save" any of it for my regular posts on the 1st and 15th.Meh. Here they are---or just skip this bonus post altogether.
HOT AND DEADLY :
This was part of a lot--otherwise I'd have passed. i probably already have a copy of this from other lots. Snore...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/hot_and_deadly_zpssefax0h4.jpg)
NIGHT MUST FALL :
Another lot "win". Yawn...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Night%20Must%20Fall_zpsjkonfgla.jpg)
EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC :
Don't get me wrong. I love my EXORCIST movies---even the bad ones (well, EXORCIST: THE BEGINNING and especially the alternate version DOMINION...are clearly exceptions). I'd watch EXORCIST 2 in a heartbeat if you asked. It's laugh-out-loud bad. But i already have the poster...several copies, in fact. Another part of a "lot", of course...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Exorcist%202%20The%20Heretic_zpsraywpmnj.jpg)
Hmm. There were a few (four) others, but I think i might just save those after all--unless some really stellar ones come along. Maybe I'll be lucky and NOT win (i.e. spend money) anything else for the rest of July? (Who am i kidding? it's only 3 days after my last posting and I'm already saddled with 7 more posters. ARGH!)
Go back to what you were doing (which, no matter how mundane, was probably infinitely more interesting than this posting). CHA-CHA-CHEERS!
-
Oh my stars! Yesterday I was whining because...in just three days since my July 15th post, I had somehow managed to buy seven lackluster posters (three of which i posted yesterday). Today alone I bought another seven posters! ARGH!!!! This is CRAZY! I need to STOP! Anyway, I thought I'd throw up another BONUS post with one of the ones I did not post yesterday and four of today's purchases. That will leave me six to work with towards my Aug. 1st posting. Hopefully I will NOT buy any more...
MANIAC COP:
I don't know why I felt compelled to buy this. I've NEVER seen the movie (and it must be okay as it spawned a few sequels). The poster is not even all that great (a silhouette of a cop holding out his badge? Really? That's it?). Ho hum. It's mine now any way -- like it or not.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Maniac%20Cop_zpsn3gecrfw.jpg)
THE PURGE:
I am planning on seeing the new PURGE film tomorrow. I didn't see the first PURGE in the theater, but I did catch the 2nd one--and was pleasantly surprised. It was a good movie. I caught the original on DVD and was also pleased with it. Although the posters do not do much for me, I thought I'd quickly scoop up one for each in the series. The series (at least the first two) are good--so there MIGHT be an interest in these down the road... Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Purge_zpsbqlqtvjx.jpg)
THE PURGE: ANARCHY:
Nothing too exciting, as i mentioned above. However, this poster shows a June 20th date...which is incorrect. The release date was pushed up two days and it opened June 18. There are other versions of this poster out there with the corrected date.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Purge%20Anarchy_zpsczp3quev.jpg)
THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR:
I should be seeing this tomorrow. Of the three posters for the three films, this is my favorite. I just hope my expectations are met. Fingers crossed it is as good as the first two.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Purge%20Election%20Year_zpsku21xc5f.jpg)
THE SHALLOWS:
Like the PURGE posters, I bought this today in anticipation of seeing the film. Only unlike the PURGE, I saw this film mere hours after the purchase. The movie was good--but not what I was expecting.

I hope you are somewhere cool--and not sweltering away like I've been doing the last few days working on my mom's house. UGH!
CHEERS!

I am in a slump or just have the blahs...or something. I'm just not "feeling it" these days. I just bought a bunch of stuff from our pal Rich's Movie Poster Bids auction tonight (hence the MPB watermark on them all)---bargains galore! But neither the auction or the wins (super cheap! Golly, how lucky!) did much for me. I have 6 new posters. I'll hold a few back but I'm going to go ahead and post the rest here as yet ANOTHER BONUS POST.
BEASTMASTER 2: THROUGH THE PORTAL OF TIME:
Yes, there WAS a sequel to BEASTMASTER (there were actually two sequels. Part 3 was a TV movie)--and yes, it is just as bad as you think it is. I don't know why I needed this poster. But, for $5, it's mine. (Now if Rich will only tell us how to pay on his new site....or does he still send invoices?) Thank you, Rich.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Beastmaster%202_zps30oc0ccg.jpg)
LILIES:
I don't even know what this is. I think I remember clicking on it to see what it was (it was listed as an "art house" film--never heard of it), but don't recall bidding. Maybe I got it confused with something else I was bidding on? Or maybe I just bid out of habit? C-9 condition probably caught my eye...who knows? I almost didn't even bother posting this, but what the heck? $5 and another poster is mine...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Lilies_zpsos5ispdd.jpg)
GHOST:
I never bothered to get this poster before. The image never did it for me and the movie was "just okay" in my book. Like the other posters tonight, I bid. I won. End of story.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Ghost_zps27dy3vih.jpg)
WATCHMEN:
I'm not a super hero movie fan. I DID see this in the theater though (at the bargain, second run theater that is). The only thing I remember about it is that there was a big giant naked blue ghost (?) guy who they kept trying block shots of his "junk" (only because he really didn't have any "junk" to hide as the long shots so vividly showed! Ha!). I know it was popular/cult-y...so i bid on the poster (gasp--someone had already bid on it--so i had to bid a dollar or two more. Didn't expect to get it--but whoever gave up on it way too easily. It's mine now).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Watchmen_zpstg5bag3v.jpg)
AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON:
No idea what this is---but it has a big cast. The reason i bid on it (only bidder... !!??!!) was that the one word review "SHAMELESS" was at the top of the poster. REALLY! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Amazon%20Women%20on%20the%20Moon_zpszbc2jt2l.jpg)
THE LEGACY:
This movie is rather disappointing...and I already have this poster. My copy is, I remember, rather rough around the corners (thumb tack hole wear--shocking!). The reason I got this is because--well, yes, it could be an upgrade from what I already have...but the REAL reason is because in all of the years since i got my original copy of this poster (this was probably one of my first 10 posters ever), this is the only other one I have seen with the likeness of stars Katherine Ross and Sam Elliot on it. All of the other posters I've seen just feature the hand and the cat's head. This poster is not all that collectible---but even so, this is the rarer version. Whatever. $5. Sold.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Legacy_zpsxtvkl5tx.jpg)
Okay--I wasn't going to post all 6 wins from tonight. I was going to save a few for my Aug. 1st posting... But what the heck? I'm just "out of it" and do not care tonight. So exhausted...I finished up working on mom's house tonight. It goes on sale tomorrow.
Off to bed. Thank you again Rich for the opportunity to score some bargains. I'm just sorry I'm not more enthusiastic tonight.
CHEERS!

Hey buddy! Been a while since I popped in...you're on a killer pace. Congrats on some awesome finds.
Love the Maniac Cop, Beastmaster 2, and Watchmen!
-
Hey there Chris9000/FilmArmada!
Thanks for popping by. it has been a while...but it's always a delight to see you. Thanks for the nods to some of my new acquisitions. That makes me feel a little more...I don't know...poster-y? I've kind of been feeling "out of it" lately. Anxious to see your updates on your thread...or in the New Acquisitions thread. Glad to see you.
Thanks for the visit.
PS Just because I'm still in my funk, here's a peek at two other posters (not very stellar, but...) I recently got. I was going to run them with my Aug. 1st post...but, eh...why NOT just post them now? They're not worth the wait...
RETURN OF THE ZOMBIES:
I'm not sure where this poster is from. It's in English, but has no NSS info or rating. The poster is for the same movie that was released here as THE HANGING WOMAN (a copy of which I got not too long ago). Although this poster clearly has some issues, it is the only copy I've ever seen. I've been watching it for months---and the dealer finally put it on a 50% off sale...so I bought it. Lame poster...but...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Return%20of%20the%20Zombies_zpstuvfahjr.jpg)
BRUTES AND SAVAGES:
I've long wanted a copy of this mondo movie poster. Never saw the flick--never wanted to. I was in a mondo phase briefly during the VHS era and watched a bunch. For the most part, I found them slow and dated and several had a lot of clearly faked scenes in them. BRUTES AND SAVAGES has a brutal reputation, though...but I'm done with mondos for the most part (still want to see Ari's fave GOODBYE UNCLE TOM which i have in an unwatched DVD collection of mondo flicks).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Brutes%20and%20Savages_zpsge7vqfej.jpg)
CHEERS!
-
Cool Brutes & Savages, there, Shawn! I particularly like the top scene, showing the impending battle between the alligator and the armadillo. The winner could be a toss up. ;D
And that Return of the Zombis is also an eye grabber. Love the imagery. That is one poster that would look even more killer, if restored and those fold lines made a bit more invisible. But I like it just as is, too. thumbsup.gif
Congrats on the snags!
-
Brutes and Savages... clap clap clap clap
-
Zowie! Color me surprised. I thought I would be the only one who liked BRUTES AND SAVAGES ("in fantastic brute sound!"). The artist was a little TOO into alligators/crocodiles, but whatever. It's still a cool, savage and brutal poster. Thank you both JEFF and TED for stopping by and giving it a mention.
As for the RETURN OF THE ZOMBIES poster...yes, as i originally mentioned, it has some issues. It could do with some "help"/restoration. Then again, it's wear and tear give it a grindhouse look that is kind of appropriate for this kind of poster. I'll consider letting it have a "face lift" down the road and/or will keep my eye out for a better copy (but as i said before, this is the ONLY copy I've ever seen). Glad you like it. Thanks.

Hello there.
Oh my stars! It's already August? How did that happen? (Well, I am really writing this on July 18th, so...I'm still a ways away.) Did anyone bid in / watch the Heritage 'Signature Auction this past weekend? I will have been at work that whole weekend (Remember, i am writing this from BEFORE the auction), but I already have some snipes in on 5 things. I doubt I'll win any of them--but if, unfortunately, I DO win them, they SHOULD be listed below. ( 7/31: I actually DID end up winning some. EEEK! Now I have to (gulp...) PAY for them. I sniped some since I was working that weekend--as usual--not expecting to win anything, but also hoping I would/wouldn't win something. Fortunately the two things I wanted the most I was outbid on. I believe I was the 2nd place bidder for PLAN 9 FROM OUT SPACE...which, with fees, went for several hundred over $2,000. Yikes! I couldn't afford that. My wins were costly--but not THAT costly.) I hope YOU won whatever you were hoping to get.
BTW, I recently posted a mystery poster...RETURN OF THE ZOMBIES. I say mystery because, although in English, I have no idea where the poster came from. As I said, here the movie played as THE HANGING WOMAN. I just noticed that the title is missing the E in ZOMBIES, making it ZOMBIS...which is the Italian and Spanish spelling. I believe the movie is originally from Spain (it features Paul Naschy), so perhaps this was a country of origin poster printed for English speaking countries? It's a not a great poster, but it makes me curious...
Okay...FINALLY! Here is my usual post-a-rama. Read it or DON'T! (Definitely do NOT hold your breath. I've not had much luck lately --with the exception, I guess, of the Heritage auction wins--and have just not been "feeling" it at all. Oh well... My slump will hopefully end soon... Now on to the less than groovy poster offerings for the first half of August):
HORROR OF THE BLOOD MONSTERS:
I think I probably already have this, but I'm not sure. Why did I get it? I have been collecting the posters for the BLOOD ISLAND series of films from the 60s and 70s. I have most of them, with the notable exception being the first--BRIDES OF BLOOD. The series proved profitable for the distributor and every Halloween season they had a BLOOD movie in the theaters for several years. When the Filipino-based BLOOD movies dried up, the distributor attempted to snow the audience with faux BLOOD-titled movies in their place. BRAIN OF BLOOD is one of those faux BLOOD ISLAND films as is this movie, HORROR OF THE BLOOD MONSTERS.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Horror%20of%20the%20Blood%20Monsters_zpso94hftya.jpg)
Here is the bargain basement trailer for the film. So cheesy--better than the movie. The movie was one of the final nails in the coffin for the BLOOD series as it was such a rip-off. It was some bad black & white movie, tinted in various colors (so they can say the movie is "in color") with color wrap-around scenes produced by Al Adamson that try to tie in with the original movie.
http://www.youtube.com/v/zj-78jRaWJ4
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY'S REVENGE:
Another thing I'm also not really sure WHY I bought it. I already have (at least) one copy. But with the NIGHTMARE series, you can't go wrong with collecting for down the road. The older the poster in the series (especially the first three??), the more desirable. Right? I don't know. I shouldn't have got it--but it was cheap-ish.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Nightmare%20on%20Elm%20Street%202_zpss0twa6kk.jpg)
NIGHTMARE (International version):
Not really attractive--or horrifying, this is the international poster for the low-budget cult slasher NIGHTMARE that, on the original US ads, tried to imply that effects wizard Tom Savini had done the effects---and promptly got sued for that...causing a slight alteration. The movie is not all that good (or memorable. I saw it in the theater...forgot what happens. Bought the DVD and watched it...and still do NOT remember much about it. Ha!). The US poster is pretty badly done (A screaming woman and an arm reaching up from no where... Huh?). I have a copy (or two or three or...) of the US version, so i thought I'd snatch this unusual International version as well. I know... WHY?, right?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Nightmare%20International_zpsiuyrexqa.jpg)
DAWN OF THE DEAD:
I already have a copy. ARGH! I saw this for roughly the same price as I paid for my other copy 10 or 15 years or so ago...and snatched it up. To all of those "watchers" out there, you snooze--you lose! But man, o' man...I really need to STOP doing that. I'm not only a collector--but with these repeat buys all of the time, I really am becoming a poster hoarder. EEEK! However the poster is in gorgeous shape---MUCH NICER than the copy I've had for years. Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Dawn%20of%20the%20Dead_zpsspoeabg5.jpg)
THE NEON DEMON:
Oh MAN! I only wish I had become aware of this movie earlier---I really want to see it. I think it came and went already--while I was on my road trip. Dang!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Neon%20Demon_zps0fm00kj0.jpg)
LAND OF THE MONSTERS and REVENGE OF THE GLADIATORS (British Quad combo):
It's British Quad time. I have a string of new quads starting with this peplum/sword & sandal (or, as I call them, "Hercules movies"...even though Herc isn't in either one) double feature quad. LAND OF THE MONSTERS is a re-titling of something...but I'm too lazy to bother looking it up. REVENGE OF THE GLADIATORS was called the same thing here. I didn't need this poster, but I do like my old Hercules-type movies...especially when they have magic, fictional worlds, or MONSTERS (as the first feature apparently does). How fun.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Land%20of%20the%20Monsters%20and%20Revenge%20of%20the%20Gladiators%20combo%20British%20quad_zpsda8hopk0.jpg)
BEYOND THE DOOR (aka DEVIL WITHIN HER and CHI SEI?):
Okay--I admit it. BEYOND THE DOOR is a guilty pleasure favorite of mine. Sort of a hybrid ripoff of both THE EXORCIST and ROSEMARY'S BABY (Warner's sued...and LOST!) and filmed in/around San Francisco in the mid-70s, it's a cheesy, bizarre Italian romp with lots of puke and other weirdness. While the British Quad isn't that exciting (the face on the woman is kind of horrific), what excited me (lover of gimmicks) is that this quad (there are similar quads that omit this blurb altogether--why bother?) advertises that the film is "The ultimate in audience involvement through VIBRASOUND! You will definitely quiver with fright." For YEARS I've been searching for reference on a US poster with a similar blurb. When it toured the US, the film was promoted as being in "4-quad POSSESSISOUND". Zowie! The British VIBRASOUND is probably as close as I'll ever get to POSSESSISOUND. That added tag "It is strongly advised that persons with a nervous disposition do not see this film." is a nice added bonus/touch. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Beyond%20the%20Door%20British%20quad_zps5fwtzeik.jpg)
SHIVERS (aka THEY CAME FROM WITHIN) and RABID (British Quad combo):
Here is an unexpected little pick up, a British quad combo for two of David Cronenberg's 70s horror flicks. Although I never cared much for RABID (Marilyn Chambers and her vicious armpit "penis" didn't work for me--but the poster image was pretty awesome), SHIVERS (which I saw as a kid in the theater as THEY CAME FROM WITHIN) I thought was creepily, nauseatingly brilliant. EEK! Sexual parasites!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Shivers%20and%20Rabid%20combo%20British%20quad_zpsmzy2btsz.jpg)
FORBIDDEN ZONE (French small affiche):
I stumbled on this movie back in the 80s as a video rental---and was just in AWE of it. What a strange little movie. It wasn't until years and years later (the original place I'd rented if from lost it---so I was never able to rent it again)
when I finally tracked it down on DVD that I got to see it again. It didn't hold up to what I remembered it being--but it was still an influential movie (to me). I don't think I've ever seen a US one sheet for this movie---but the poster art is the same as the VHS box and the soundtrack CD. YIPPIE that I got it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/french_small_forbidden_zone_SD05600_T_zpsvznejepv.jpg)
SON OF DRACULA (1957 re-release British Quad):
This poster has several issues I'm not too keen on (as can be seen in the photo), but it's a cool poster and re-release or not, how much in the way of classic Universal monsters do I have in my collection? Virtually NONE. So I could NOT resist. This is a good candidate for restoration---something i may very well consider once i am back home in my house and have more time/space for my posters.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Son%20of%20Dracula%201957%20rerelease%20British%20Quad_zps4jq1guu5.jpg)
A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (Lenticular):
Oh my stars! I have a folded copy of the A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS poster and have long been half-heartedly looking for a better, rolled copy. It never seemed to happen. The real dream was the 3D lenticular version---which I remember being dazzled by when I first saw the poster (the first movie poster lenticular I had ever seen) at the theater when I went to see the movie. The lenticulars are so rare and so utterly out of my price range...I never thought I'd have one. Thanks to my crazy high snipe, one became mine. YIKES! How am I going to pay for it? But oooooo....I am super thrilled! I know my final price was outed elsewhere on the forum...but remember I bid LESS than the final price. (The final price includes the buyer's premium). This is, i believe, the 2nd most I've spent on a poster (right behind my 1957 re-release of KING KONG that I got last year). Dang! What was i thinking...?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/A%20Nightmare%20Before%20Christmas%20lenticular_zpsltyktibv.jpg)
ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE:
Wow! Another poster I didn't expect to win. While it's not a great poster in itself. What it represents to me is that I am inching closer to the old Universal Monsters. (In the Heritage auction, it was even grouped with the classic monster posters they had up for bid.) When the monster sequels died off, many were spun off into Abbott and Costello comedies. So this is a step or two passed the Universal Monsters (which i will never be able to afford/get) posters in a way. Now i just have to be stressed out about paying for it... But---it';s mine. Golly.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Abbott%20and%20Costello%20Meet%20Dr%20Jekyl%20and%20Mr%20Hyde_zpsjcf7vg3c.jpg)
That's it. Now, just one more month of summer to get through (I am sooooo DONE with the heat already). Stay cha-cha-cha groovy! Thanks for visiting.
CHEERS!
-
Nice Nightmare lenticular. I actually thought of bidding on it, but didn't because of the Southern Cal. weather. I've had a couple lenticulars melt in the past, become all sticky because they were exposed to 90+ temperatures. So no more lenticulars for me. I don't know where you live, but make sure you keep it in a cool environment.
T
-
Nice haul there, Shawn. The AC Meet Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, Devil Within Her and Dawn of the Dead, all especially nice. And I agree with you - the face of the woman on the DWH quad is truly creepy. It really caught my eye, the first time I saw one of these for sale, a year or so ago.
More demonic possession at its finest, looks like. >:D
-
Good morning. Thanks for visiting the thread.
THIERRY: I know how fragile lenticulars can be. I had one destroyed while being shipped in the mail to me. UGH! I do have several (15 or 20 +) of them.With the NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS lenticular, I think I've satisfied me collection. If I come across more at reasonable prices I'll snatch them up...but at this point I have the ones I truly wanted. (NIGHTMARE, LOST WORLD-JURASSIC PARK 2, MONSTER HOUSE, etc.) One of my favorites is a very under-rated lenticular...it's the TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D lenticular. Although it does not move like the gif below does, if you walk back and forth while looking at it, you have a similar effect. Lenticulars are just so cool...or can be.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/texas-chainsaw_lenticular_zpspgxmw0cd.gif)
JEFF: I'm glad you like a few of my pick ups this month as well. Thanks! I do like my possession movies, so I really am excited about the VIBRASOUND version of the DEVIL WITHIN HER/ BEYOND THE DOOR. DAWN OF THE DEAD is a classic poster. And the A&C MEET DR. J has really grown on me. I wanted it---but now I am in love with it. Thanks for looking and leaving a note.
-
I don't think the Chainsaw Massacre is underrated. It's a cool piece which is unfortunately associated to a terrible movie. Imagine if it was for the original, even as a re-release. It would be much more in demand. Heck, I would want one yesterday.
T
-
Another nice haul of cheeze, sleaze and film oddities.
Love 'em all, Go-Go, especially Forbidden Zone, Son of Dracula and A&C Meet Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde!
-
Hi there. Thanks for coming to re-visit the thread.
THIERRY: Agreed. It's a case of when bad movies happen to good posters. TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D was a mess. The best part about it was the scenes from the original transferred to 3D. WOW! Why didn't they just transfer the whole original film to 3D and release that? I'd have been there to see it.
TED: WHERE did you go? Hibernating, were you? I'm glad you liked some of the posters, especially the SON OF DRACULA. I was unsure about that one because of its condition... But I have very little classic Universal horror (re-release or not) and I like the color scheme.The bulk of the poster/image is okay though. I don't know much about British quads, so I probably paid too much it. But I DO like it so. I'm thrilled to get it..
-
It's BONUS POST time again...but this bonus post can easily be skipped. Why? It is filled with nothing but CRAP I really do not want/.need that I picked up in the lot sale on emovie recently. WHAT WAS I THINKING and WHY did I bid? UGH! Will i never learn? There were some interesting tidbits in the lots (and I'll save those for another time), but by and large I got nothing but JUNK! Here, barring multiple copies, is the dregs of my recent lot acquisitions. SKIP THIS POST NOW. Do NOT waste your time. You have been warned....
MOSES:
Really? Someone wasted there money on a movie on Moses when THE TEN COMMANDMENTS was still uber popular? Snore.

I love postercrap, it makes me laugh, boggles my mind the money spent of such shitty flicks. Except for Tango and Cash of course which was awesome!
-
Hey Crazy Vick...I'm glad someone appreciated these bulk lot rejects. Below is the ROUGH CUT poster, which I apparently goofed up on when I originally posted. (Not that it needs to be seen...but...)

CHEERS!
-
Hot on the heels of my less-than-stellar, crap-O-rama bulk lot poster post, I thought I'd redeem myself just a little with MORE bulk lot posters that are just a tad interesting (but still nothing I'd proudly save for my scheduled posts).
AIRPLANE 2: THE SEQUEL:
I generally do not collect posters for sequels--with the exception of some horror titles and others. I have the original AIRPLANE poster and the original film was a comedy classic. The sequel though...well, it was BAD (and the reason there was never a Part 3). It didn't even have the Zucker Brothers (the original's creator, writers and directors) involvement. The poster is not a winner either, but it came with a lot---so there you are.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0004_20160715134026_BM07940_L_zpslp7dszxz.jpg)
ALIEN 3:
Boring poster over all. Interesting only in that it is part of the ALIEN series. ALIEN 3 was not all that memorable... was this the one in the prison?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0001_20160701085533_KM01462_L_zpsjrnod4qk.jpg)
LORDS OF THE DEEP:
This poster could have been so much better. It's apparently for some schlock movie I never heard of. The poster should have been...schlockier!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0011_20160715133145_BM07939_L_zpskr0bt6xw.jpg)
METALSTORM: THE DESTRUCTION OF JARED-SYN:
80s 3D (I'm a sucker for gimmicks/3D). This was a crap movie (confusing and open-ended), but as part of a bulk lot, it's now mine (I already have a copy---of course).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0009_20160715133101_BM07939_L_zps9rti6zmb.jpg)
DEADTIME STORIES:
The poster is a little lame...but it pretty much sums up the movie, which is a poster's job. I saw this flick (and vaguely remember it). It was a CREEPSHOW knock-off, an anthology of little horror stories. It seems like one of them was an updated version of either LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD or GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS (I'm guessing it was LITTLE RED though...). Not horrible...just not that memorable...and where is it now? Forgotten...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0008_20160715133040_BM07939_L_1_zpsxjmktxcu.jpg)
DEVIL'S ADVOCATE:
Did i see this? I don't even remember. But it's got big stars and is Hollywood mainstream. No big deal. (But really? Al Pacino took second billing to Keanu Reeves?)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0005_20160701085943_KM01462_L_zpsvlcc0uf1.jpg)
ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND:
I already have one of these, but I am delighted to have gotten this so i can post it again. This is one of those movies that is probably crap to the rest of the world---but has a sentimental place in my heart. Just before this came out, there was a big promotion for the film at the local mall. There was this big Wonderland display. You entered at one end and walked down through it. They had several characters in costume (White Rabbit, Mad Hatter, probably Alice as well, etc.) greet you as you walked through. At the end, you were given a balloon with the title of the movie printed on it. It was so neat--and I've never seen anything like it since. So yes, i BUGGED my mom to take me--which she did. I'm sure she hated it....and, although I've seen it a few times since, I don't really remember it that well. It was a musical (ugh) but did have a semi-impressive cast. Whatever---the poster alone reminds me of that unique promotional display every time I see one...and THAT is the real nostalgic magic of this poster for me.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0015_20160715134511_BM07940_L_zpspk6havnk.jpg)
BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED:
This movie should/could have been much better than it was. Oh well...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0004_20160715132856_BM07939_L_zpsgtfmxjae.jpg)
THE CURSE:
Here's an obscurity... The original theatrical poster for the movie that launched a long line of direct-to-video sequels (in name only).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0013_20160715133230_BM07939_L_zpslj8xqqwx.jpg)
PRIVATE SCHOOL:
I never saw this, but it's kind of a fun poster. I do recall the ads though and this has a SOME LIKE IT HOT subplot going on with boys dressed as girls for some reason. There's al;so a very real Phoebe Cates in it too.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0002_20160715133934_BM07940_L_zpsqy9gkdxs.jpg)
As I said, nothing to write home about...but more interesting (slightly) than the batch I posted last night.
CHEERS!

WARRIORS OF THE WIND:
Looks like He-Man wanna be kiddie sci-fi crap.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0017_20160715133407_BM07939_L_zpsrmnz7fj1.jpg)
Far from "He-Man wanna be kiddie sci-fi crap."
This is the 1985 one sheet for the American release of Hayao Miyazaki's animated 'Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind."
This was before audiences over here had come to realize the genius of Miyazaki, who also created Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, etc., etc.
Nice poster, Shawn!
-
Interesting mix there, Shawn.
In looking at the poster for Little Miss Marker (I like the art; it has the feel of a Saturday Evening Post cover) AND it also reminds me of the poster that Richard Amsel did for The Sting (1974), using the same central circular design and the black lines. Same font style and colors, too, for both the red title and gold credits. thumbup

TED: I'm afraid I've never seen anything by Miyazaki. That may be why this poster was completely off my radar. I've never seen the movie...
JEFF: I get both of your references---Saturday Evening Post and THE STING. But I know me. I'll NEVER display LITTLE MISS MARKER...EVER! Now if it was LITTLE MISS MARKER IS DEAD or THE POSSESSION OF LITTLE MISS MARKER I'd be all over it. wynk
So glad you guys found treasures in my trash. :)
-
I might not hang LMM either, Shawn, but I do like the look of it. I think it's a nice add. And it helps to balance out the schlock and horror pieces, maybe? LOL
It goes well with Deadtime Stories, too. ;)
That poster also has such a classic, 80's look to it. clap clap

EAGLE'S SHADOW:
I'm soooo NOT into martial arts posters.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0007_20160715134202_BM07940_L_zpsll4ulety.jpg)
Nice Neal Adams art on this one.

JEFF: I kind of like the DEADTIME STORIES poster too.
TED: Neal Adams? Are you sure? I don't see a signature anywhere. Are you just super familiar with his work?
-
Geez louise....I had to avoid bidding on that nightmare before Xmas lent. Glad you got it!!!!!!!!!!
And the texas chainsaw massacre. Love that one. Great stuff

His sig is just above the word 'Shadow," buried in the art.

Loving the Warriors of the Wind, The Curse, and Private School paper buddy!
Your taste in schlock and blockbuster alike never ceases to amaze me.... and the rate at which you bring them in.
We are kindred souls for sure!

JASON: I'm sure you already have the NIGHTMARE lenticular...and the CHAINSAW one, right? Both are super cool. I've had the CHAINSAW one for a while. It's one of my faves. NIGHTMARE has also been on my want list for years. Glad you like them. Thanks.

CHRIS: Hi. Thanks for popping by. I'm glad you liked some of the recent bulk lot stuff I got. The first post was stuff in the lot that I really do not want, but...it came with it. The 2nd post was the "just okay/quasi-interesting" stuff. I've got some more of the lot stuff (and other stuff as well--of course) coming in my next regular post on the 15th. Hopefully there'll be a thing or two you like there as well.
CHEERS!

I saw PRIVATE SCHOOL FOR GIRLS at the DRIVE INS, I was 11 I think.
WOW WOW WOW (thats me at 11)
Still remember a scene with a girl riding on a horse, she was topless, some bloke comments (something like) THATS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF BARE BACK RIDING I HAVE SEEN.
Oh to be a kid again.

Happy mid-August. OOPS! I'm a tad late...it's the 16th. Duh... But...UGH! Get this summer HEAT outta here. Just a little more than a month to go until I move back into my house. Already i am feeling the financial pressure. That will be a lot more money out of my wallet---with no rent coming in (which basically covered my mortgage...plus a little more) and me paying the mortgage, I'll be OUT $1250 each month. Ouch. No more pricey posters for a while.... With that in mind, i don't think I'll be having any more surprise bonus postings either. From September on, i'll be lucky to make my usual 10 posters per post. In fact, I've already started September 1st's post with spill over from this month.
ARI: Sooooo nice to have you pop by. I was wondering if you'd gone too far down under--and fell off the planet. I hope all is well.
Armin/Posteroid: Thanks for stopping by as well. It's nice to see you here.
And now, here're the posters:
MUNDO MERCADO DO SEXO (Brazilian):
What is this? It's a Brazilian movie poster for a Jose Mojica Marins movie---so when I saw it, i pounced on it, thinking it might be a Coffin Joe film. It's NOT a Coffin Joe film...drat it all. But it's still nice to have in my collection.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Coffin%20Joe%20Mundo%20Mercado%20do%20sexo_zps5bzkkbic.jpg)
STAR CRYSTAL:
This was a poster from the recent bulk lot sale on emovie (see previous two bonus posts). Clearly an ALIEN wanna be...I dig the cheesy art work. Never have seen the movie---but the poster is fun.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0007_20160715133015_BM07939_L_zps7h9ouvhf.jpg)
SPAWN:
I'm pretty sure I saw this movie when it first came out---but I do not remember it at all. I totally dig the artwork though. WOW! Very nice.,
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0011_20160701090312_KM01462_L_1_zpso3naibjj.jpg)
1990: THE BRONX WARRIORS:
Ha! I love crap movies, and this MAD MAX / ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK Italian hybrid has a schlocky wonderful poster. Gotta dig it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/1990%20THE%20BRONX%20WARRIORS_zpsce9rhzdq.jpg)
WITCH DEFLECTOR (gimmick):
I scored one of these before. Recently another dealer had several...I bought two more. All the easier to display (eventually) the two sides. This promo was for the double feature re-release of WITCHCRAFT and THE HORROR OF IT ALL.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l1600%201_zpstak00g9f.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/s-l1600_zps7p89hitm.jpg)
DRIVE IN:
I LOVED this movie as a kid. When it came out on DVD a few years back, I eagerly bought it...and was disappointed to see that it had not held up that well. However the best thing about it was the fictional onscreen movie they would occasionally flash to---DISASTER '76--which featured a plane (AIRPORT) crashing into a building, causing it to burn (TOWERING INFERNO) and then an ocean of sharks (JAWS) for some reason and MORE! The poster kind of gives an example of what went on. Remember the Alamo! (That's the name of the drive in theater and it's slogan.)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0016_20160715134533_BM07940_L_1_zpswgznrzoc.jpg)
SOCIETY:
A-ha! I got one finally (but did I already own one? Hmm). I saw this film during the VHS era...but don't remember anything about it really. But who can resist a poster with someone pulling off their face!?! Yowzer! Very cool.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0014_20160701090502_KM01462_L_zpsjymwvdqm.jpg)
HARDWARE:
I recall when this came out...it was kind of a cult hit (but seems largely forgotten now). I remember liking it well enough---but don't remember much. It seemed to take place in one small apartment for a good chunk (all?) of the movie, if I'm not mistaken. I don't really remember.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0010_20160701090238_KM01462_L_zps4f4osnhc.jpg)
I DRINK YOUR BLOOD and I EAT YOUR SKIN: (Combo)
I already have one of these---but this appears to be in better condition. HOPEFULLY. Such a classic shock-a-rama double feature poster. AWESOME!!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/I%20Drink%20Your%20Blood%20I%20Eat%20Your%20Skin%20combo_zps1q7wmtqa.jpg)
BLACK SABBATH:
Zowie wow! The US one sheet for the classic Mario Bava anthology that stars Boris Karloff in the final (and most famous) chapter. Groovy!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Black%20Sabbath_zpstbmkhipd.jpg)

That's it for now. Here's hoping August winds down quickly and that September, while still quite warm, has some nice days ahead for you. See you again September 1st.
CHEERS!

BRONX WARRIORS ISNT CRAP! ;)
(its the best)
Love the notquitecoffinjoe
SOCIETY is a great film, it wasn't received well in the states at the time, but its really good and aged VERY WELL. Give it another go.
If you want to part with your lesser condition I DRINK YOUR BLOOD/EAT YOUR SKIN One sheet, put me down as first in line.
Great stuff as always.
-
Hey Steve and Ari---it's always an honor to have you drop by.
STEVE: Glad there was some cleavage...er, thing about the BLACK SABBATH poster that appealed to you. Thanks for visiting.
ARI: I am glad you like the not-quite-Coffin-Joe poster (There IS a picture of Coffin Joe in the upper left corner...so it was an easy mistake). I do really want to see THE BRONX WARRIORS. Somewhere I think I have the movie on DVD (and I can see from where I am sitting that I also have the sequel, ESCAPE FROM THE BRONX) and I hope to watch it at some point before I die. Good, huh? Even if it were cheesy, I'd still enjoy it. I do want to see SOCIETY again at some point. The VHS era was a blur---too much fast forwarding and ejecting of movies that didn't seem interesting (unlike now where I watch a movie straight through). But alas...I was young and impatient then. And I'll have to find my other BLOOD/SKIN poster before I even consider selling one of them. Let me get back to my house first.
Oh that reminds me. Someone asked about another poster of mine--and I said I'd get back to them LAST week. OOPS! Chris, if you are out there and still interested--let me know. The poster you wanted should be relatively easy to find. (I think...)
-
No more pricey posters for a while.... With that in mind, i don't think I'll be having any more surprise bonus postings either. From September on, i'll be lucky to make my usual 10 posters per post.
Can I contribute to the fund that allows you to keep buying and sharing these movie gems! The Brazilian one is super cool, and im watching Star Crystal this weekend!
-
CRAZY VICK! How are you?
Can I contribute to the fund that allows you to keep buying and sharing these movie gems! The Brazilian one is super cool, and im watching Star Crystal this weekend!
Ha! Awfully nice of you to offer...but I'll survive somehow. (Tonight's signature auction on emovie closed without me buying anything...I'm er, ...happy to report. I've been doing way too much last-minute spending. It will be budget-a-go-go time soon enough.) Glad you like the Brazilian poster (the title translates to WORLD SEX MARKET with the subtitle --or possibly original title?--reading BANNER HEADLINE). And if you do indeed watch STAR CRYSTAL this weekend, please give me a full report.
CHEERS!

Lotsa really nice posters, there.
Especially like Society, Hardware and Black Sabbath.

Ted. Thank you for dropping by and visiting the posters. Glad you found three you liked. (I usually put my faves of the batch towards the bottom...so those are among my faves too.)
CHEERS!

(* It's still August here in California for a few more hours...but the post is done and it's September in the most of the rest of the world already, so why not post it now, right? Whoo hoo!)

Happy September! Yahoo! By the month's end, I should have started to move back into my house!!!!! What that means is that i'll be able to start working on cataloging and organizing my posters once again. Yippie!!! But that also means I'll have a mortgage to pay and utilities. EEEK!
Now on to the posters...
THE LAST CHASE:
This is held over from one of those bulk lots I got from emovie at the beginning of last month. Who ever heard of this movie? Was it even released? Co-star Chris Makepeace had about 5 minutes of fame and he must have slipped this movie in during the last few seconds of that 5 minutes. Lee Majors? Burgess Meredith?? And a very large Italian supporting cast? Hmm. I'm curious about this one...not anything great, i'm sure---but a mystery of sorts. Hopefully it's spectacularly awful.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0018_20160715133437_BM07939_L_zpsjqhb8ih6.jpg)
THE DEVIL AND LEROY BASSETT:
Whatever this movie is---I've never heard of it...but I was intrigued enough by the poster to pick it up. It was super inexpensive---which for me is always the right price. Anyone know anything about this flick? Any good?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0016_20160715133339_BM07939_L_zpsocg8foip.jpg)
TRANSMUTATIONS:
Also held over from the bulk lot sale...I couldn't decide if I liked this poster or not. It looks like it would be a piece of garbage film, but there's something about the image that keeps me coming back to it. That's why I held it back. It's kind of cheap--but fun.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0014_20160715133253_BM07939_L_zpsuqfodct4.jpg)
INDEPENDENCE DAY (stuyle B teaser):
Just a few weeks back I got my first INDEPENDENCE DAY poster...but there are just soooo many styles of it. UGH!. Here's my 2nd ID4 poster. If I get more--great. If not--c'est la vie. I'm NOT that actively looking for them.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/independence_day_styleB_teaser_WC06336_L_zpsalavseqm.jpg)
THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER:
Buying Disney is always a safe bet. Even though this movie is generally NOT one of the favorites out there and even though this poster is fairly easy to get, I decided to go for it any way because it was cheap. And Disney.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/rescuers_down_under_and_prince_and_the_pauper_rescuers_style_dupe1_BM06525_T_zpstwu2t6m4.jpg)
WALL-E (advance):
Another Disney poster--this time more beloved (I think). I have not seen WALL-E yet, but hope to soon.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/wall_e_advance_spaceship_style_WC06338_L_zpspulqsaix.jpg)
SPLASH:
I bid on this half-heartedly, thinking it would go for more. Probably the best/most famous live-action mermaid movie (and one that inspired countless thousands of baby girls to be named Madison) and it went reasonably less than i thought it would. Lucky me, i guess. (But do I already have a copy? Hmm.)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/splash_BM07987_T_zpsbvjj3gto.jpg)
MY BLOODY VALENTINE (Japanese B2):
I didn't need this (did I need ANYTHING on this list?). I was outbid and should have just let it go... Oh well. I kind of dig this B2 as it has a striking image of the killer coal miner from the film. Classic 80s slasher---Japanese style.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/japanese_b2_my_bloody_valentine_SD06364_T_zps0qxhfujb.jpg)
BATWOMAN (Turkish 1980 re-release)
Yippie! I've wanted one of these for a long while. There's another BATWOMAN poster I've seen repros of--but never the original for sale. I'll track it down eventually maybe. In the meantime, i have this one. Who knew there were TWO BATMAN rip-off BATWOMAN movies? There's this one and THE WILD WORLD OF BATWOMAN, which i always thought were the same movie...until I actually saw THE WILD WORLD and realized the movie i remember was NOT the same one. The Mexican one (this one) is the one I saw originally. How fun to finally have a poster of it...albeit Turkish.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/turkish_batwoman_R80s_BM06778_T_zpsya3k0bw2.jpg)
MOTHER OF TEARS:
I've been looking for one of these since it came out. Although it's not the best poster ever and the movie was rather disappointing (I actually saw it in a theater, dragged a friend along with me and forced him to watch this crap), it's very hard to find a one sheet for this flick. And it IS part of the Three Mothers trilogy that started with the great SUSPIRIA and continued with INFERNO, So why NOT?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Mother%20of%20Tears_zpsgxrt8htq.jpg)
That's it for now (but I've already started working on the NEXT post. EEK!).
CHEERS!

-
I actually LOVE Mother of Tears (the film),
Good stuff as always
-
TRANSMUTATIONS is great! He looks like a proper mad scientist.
-
ARI: I should maybe give MOTHER OF TEARS another shot. All I really remember is I didn't stop hearing about it from the friend I took to it for weeks. Complain. Complain. Complain. It was not long after (or maybe not long before?) I dragged the same friend off to see DOMINION (the alternate version of EXORCIST 4). Oh my stars...that was awful. There was actually someone SNORING in the theater when we saw that.
TOB: I know, right? It is such a cheap-looking poster....but you can't help coming back to it. I'm guessing the movie is awful--but i dig the poster.
Thanks for visiting guys.
CHEERS!

Happy mid-September! In about 2 weeks (or LESS!!!) I should be fully moved back into my house. Hooray! Finally! (EEEK! How am I going to afford life? SERIOUSLY! As I'll be paying the mortgage now, water, sewage, and electrical....that will be an additional $2,000 a month out of my wallet I was NOT having to fork over before. EEEK!). I've actually already started hauling stuff over there little by little. In October I hope to start sorting through all of my posters and making a list of what I have. In the mean time, here're this mid-month's offerings. Ho-hum.... They're pretty slim pickings. Things will get less and less exciting from here on out as my spending money is drying up / has dried up. Drat. These first few, as you'll see, are examples of how I'm having to be frugal with my poster postings--having to post even the most mundane and boring of posters I buy. Let's take a look (if you can stifle the yawns...):
STEALING BEAUTY:
Snore! Ugh...this is a leftover from one of the bulk lots I bought in early August. I just realized I did NOT post this ultra boring poster with my post of poster trash i got from that lot. I'll post it here... just because I have it and--as you can see below--I don't have much to offer this posting.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0002_20160701085751_KM01462_L_zpsw8dafvhi.jpg)
THE LOVE GODDESSES:
Speaking of boring posters, this was part of another lot I got. UGH! Snore. For an adult movie poster...it sure lacks imagination.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/love-goddesses-movie-poster_zps98qzpjo8.jpg)
THE STIMULATORS:
Another dud from a lot...and another x-rated poster...featuring Cheri Champagne? Ha! I'll bet she'll pop your cork. Lame poster though...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Stimulators_zpsoeyvxmiq.jpg)
THE SWARM (advance)
Another of those bulk lot posters I somehow missed posting. :This teaser aims to scare...but all the movie did was bore. (Don't get me wrong. The thing is a gloriously bad turkey. I've seen it several times--including at the theater-- and have it on DVD). But I already have this poster and the regular one sheet. Didn't need this one too.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0010_20160715133123_BM07939_L_zpsyzoqnwab.jpg)
POOTIE TANG:
I'm reasonably sure I saw this movie, but do not recall it at all. This was also one of the bulk lot posters I never posted...but at least it has a fun title.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_0007_20160701090053_KM01462_L_zpsid4ecz2a.jpg)
BIMBO THE GREAT:
This was a recent pick up from our pal Rich's auctions. I have NO IDEA what this movie is about or WHO the titular BIMBO is...but it's kind of a cool image and there's something boasting that it is in CIRCUSCOPE in the upper left corner. Wow! Ha! Probably nothing to CIRCUSCOPE...just a gimmick to get them in (I'd be there). Barnum said there was a sucker born every minute. He'd be pleased with the gimmick, i'm sure.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Bimbo%20The%20Great_zpsicng05uv.jpg)
THE CHAMBER-MADES:
I'm a sucker for 3D and this adult 3D movie poster got me bidding. It was only $3 (with buyers premium tacked on it was $23--oh well). But CHAMBER-MADES? Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Chamber%20Mades%203D_zpsdvcjcu0h.jpg)
DRACULA: PRISONER OF FRANKENSTEIN (Italian 2F):
I didn't need this so why did I bid? ARGH! The art is fun though on this Italian poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Dracula%20Prisoner%20of%20Frankenstein%20Italian%202F_zpsarmvfvi6.jpg)
BONZO GOES TO COLLEGE:
Yes, it is a little rough...but I had never seen another one before. This is the sequel to the Ronald Reagan (pre-presidential years, obviously) flick BEDTIME FOR BONZO. Id love to have that poster as well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Bonzo%20Goes%20to%20College_zpsgrxlyhsq.jpg)
'BATMAN (French small affiche):
Whoo hoo! I've wanted one of these BATMAN posters for a long time. There are just two more BATMAN styles out there I'm waiting for....POW! BASH! SPLAT! Nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nug-nuh...BATMAN!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Batman%20frech%20petite_zpslcadswsp.jpg)
That's it for now. Have a super autumn (or spring if you are in the Southern Hemisphere).
Thanks for coming by and I'll see you next time.
CHEERS!

Nice Grinsson. This is the kind of posters I like.
T

I like Chamber Mades :)
-
Sweet Batman affiche, buddy!
Hoping that extra $2K a month doesn't but a dent in your duplicates collection ;)
-
That Dracula/Frankenstein is great thumbsup.gif And I love the credit line on The Swarm (Michael Caine! Fred MacMurray! ...)

That Dracula/Frankenstein is great thumbsup.gif
Sure is!

THIERRY: I realize most of this post was crap. I tend to save my favorites until the end of the post. The Grinsson is clearly the fave of the bunch. Love my 60s BATMAN. Thanks.
STEVE: Of COURSE you liked CHAMBER-MADES. I had you in my mind when I was posting it. Ha!
CHRIS Yes, the financial thing is a BIG shock-a-roo to my system. I hope to go through my posters next month, and pull things out for auction. I know you wanted a specific poster...I forgot about it until a little while back. I left a message for you on here (this thread) but you didn't respond. I should have sent you a private message. oh well. I still have it but now that I am actually in the middle of the move I do NOT know where it is...
HICKS77 and TED: Thanks for the thumbs up on the DRACULA/FRANKENSTEIN poster. I wasn't that wild about it at first, but it has grown on me.
I'll post some pictures of my boxed up poster collection as it gets moved in. Oh my stars. The room that was/is going to be my "poster room" is looking like it will be TOO SMALL. EEEEK! Stay tuned.
And thanks for visiting.

What I like most about this forum is to see things that are completely out of my collection realm. I don't care seeing what I collect, since I collect it. Your stuff is fun, not my thing per se, but fun, and I certainly do understand the attraction. It's just a different niche. We can't just collect everything, can we?
Keep it up.
thumbsup.gif
T

T: Yes, I agree. Seeing others stuff is a great glimpse into things outside of your own collecting taste. It also opens your eye to things you might want to track down yourself at some point.
I'm moving as I said. From the tiny, cramped storage shed-like Shack-A-Rama back into a real house. I lived in the Shack-A-Rama (with everything I owned) while I was going back to school. I couldn't work at the time (my old job would not let me go part time), so I moved in here and rented my house out. After 5+ years in that hell hole, I'm moving back to the house.
This first shot is pre-move in the Shack-A-Rama. These are tubes with rolled posters outside of the walk-in closest. Tons of them....and there are many more in the closet (along with a dresser and a recliner). The three boxes you see also have folded posters.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/20160825_182726_zpshdbe0knr.jpg)
This next photo is of another closet in the poster room of the house as I start to fill it up with the rolled posters (until I can go through and condense them). Clearly it's not going to be big enough. EEEK!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/20160912_082852_zpsz8ct5pga.jpg)
Today I was trying to squeeze a few more rolled posters in and I had an avalanche!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/20160916_114144_zpsjmyrbxht.jpg) (http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/20160916_114151_zpsl2tn1nn0.jpg)
The room is just too small---I still have the bulk of my 200+ framed posters to move over and a few boxes of folded posters and lots more rolls. Here's some lenticulars and folded posters in the bankers boxes:
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/20160916_114207_zpsswqobjdg.jpg)
And here is the room in general with a few of the framed posters moved over (I have enough room against the wall for three piles...third not shown obviously). It'a far too small! And where will I put the ugly metal poster cabinet thing I bought (that is sitting in the garage on its side)? I really need to weed through my posters soon.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/20160916_114319_zpsdhszld29.jpg)
And YES, i still have a lot more to move over... UGH!
-
Love it! I think having an avalanche of tubes fall on you has to be some sort of rite of passage in this biz!
Keep up the good work and keep sharing!
-
So you are a cardboard tube collector too! Nice variety :)
-
I feel your pain Shawn.
I've been unpacking for almost 3 weeks and I'm just starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
cheers

Coffee pot and mug are always the priority.

Hi there. Thank you for stopping in. I am STILL moving. It's kind of on hold until October as i have a very important project due by October 1st. I had some friends come to town to help with the initial move...but they got burned out after a day or so....So even though one friend stayed around for a week (!), we didn't get much done beyond those initial few days. Oh well.
CRAZY VICK: I've had a couple of avalanches as I've been wrangling that tube closet in the poster room. I've stopped trying to get more in and have started filling up the hall closet. Pictures below of both.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160921_095634_zpsw8vcketi.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160921_095652_zpsuonl5ey8.jpg)
STEVE: Yes, I have quite the tube collection. All different sizes worth millions of dollars, no doubt. I can let you have some for a few thousand...Just saying. A special deal for a special guy. Ha!
TED: UGH! Piles of clothes all over---where are the coat hangers? ARGH! Everything is such a mess...and i can not find anything.
CJ138: I may not be able to find my work shoes or my checkbook, but coffee pot and mugs were a priority here as well.
Getting back to the poster room progress, the bulk of my framed posters still remain in the shack-0-rama waiting to be moved. I have realized that, unless I want to use all of the closet space (like I did when i lived here before with these 200+ framed posters), I'm going to have to store them as i did in the shack-o-rama...on their sides and piled UP. They were store three high in the shack-o-rama. I'll take a picture the next time I'm there (if there are still posters on the top row, that is...). I'll have to get little labels to put on the ends of the frames so I'll know which is which.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160921_095506_zps45zedars.jpg)
My poster room is getting so crowded/full. I have 9 boxes of folded posters and tons o' other crap as well....with still MORE boxes of folded posters and MORE tubes still at the apartment. Yikes! I can't wait to go through it all though.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160921_112959_zpsgdcvdllo.jpg)
My buying has also slowed way down. In the coming posts, you;ll see things from August for quite a while. Oh well...
Anyway, thank you for visiting my humble page.
CHEERS!

I thought I was crazy with framed posters but you've taken it beyond. 200+ framed? Wow! thumbsup.gif
-
Hi JCM---yes, I went WAY overboard, It was a valiant effort--but what the hell am I going to do with all of these frames?
Here's a look at the shack-o-rama where most of them are still stacked up, laying on their side, three rows high...(top row is almost all of the way pulled down and moved already--but it was FULL at one time). Please excuse the mess:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160921_163808_zpsrtr2uz7g.jpg)
More tubes and a few loose (!?!) posters home tonight (along with various boxes o' crap). O' the joy... Will this move EVER end?
Thanks for visiting the thread.
CHEERS!
-
I have so much to do....but I just HAD to dive into my posters (if only a little bit) to see what i might have after all of this time. The first thing I had to do was re-frame my FRIDAY THE 13TH poster. The frame had fallen apart on the way over and I was so afraid the poster would be ruined...but it survived and is now re-framed.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_151715_zps8fjuchix.jpg)
Next, I pulled out a box at random, took it to a guest room and opened it. Zowie! What treasures would I find inside, i wondered...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_151819_zps3hfgnlfg.jpg)
THE WARRIORS:
About the third or fourth poster out of the box was for THE WARRIORS. I had NO idea I had that. If you'll recall a few months back there was the mystery of the empty frame...I never figured out what had been in there, but i quickly put in THE WARRIORS.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_151135_zpsrdm9xkqk.jpg)
THE MASK:
In the box, aside from posters, I found a few lobby card sets and/or loose lobby cards, stills, etc. I also found a pair of 3D glasses for the original release of THE MASK.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_151926_zpsds5jsy2q.jpg) (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_151919_zpsb6yo2mps.jpg)
The following are in order as they were pulled from the box. A few things i like but most of it set aside to sell in one fashion or another. Forgive the photos. This was a quick-o deal.
BLACK TORMENT:
Never heard of this flick...but i dig the poster. I'm NOT wild about the big snipe on it...but do like the gimmickiness of the snipe ("In Diabolicolor") Ha! I can't tell if I want another withOUT the snipe or just want to keep this one. Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Black%20Torment_zpsfc6783ii.jpg)
BACK TO THE BEACH:
The 80s return of Frankie & Annette! I love the original BEACH PARTY movies. I have all of those posters---so i HAD to get this one too. This is in pretty poor shape---so onto the discard pile it goes. I believe I already have a better copy somewhere...,
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_151956_zpsnbecvtim.jpg)
THE AMITYVILLE CURSE:
One of the WORST sequels in the AMITYVILLE series (until some of the direct-to-video crapola like AMITYVILLE DEATH HOUSE and AMITYVILLE THEATER started showing up). WHY buy it? Because I hve posters for the other theatrical releases in the series and this one is kind of rare. This is, I believe, a British one sheet.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_152355_zpsakjj8ibc.jpg)
A BULLET FOR PRETTY BOY
I've never seen this flick but it looks like it might be fun. And how many movies can you think of that star Fabian? Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_152434_zps5y36oegn.jpg)
SANTA'S MAGIC FOUNTAIN:
Seasonal kiddie matinee crap...one of my fave genres. However, this one is in poor shape---sell-off pile reject.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_152610_zpsvhogzhmx.jpg)
LOGAN'S RUN:
I no longer had the original poster I bought in 1976, but LOGAN'S RUN was my very first poster. I have several copies---and this one has issues--so it will be sold off.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_152702_zpsjwunbnvr.jpg)
VISIT TO A SMALL PLANET:
Jerry Lewis sci fi comedy...I remember liking this as a kid.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_152809_zpskc8dzpbz.jpg)
THE OUTSIDERS:
I hated this flick--but just look at the stars in it. Poor copy--sell-off-a-go-go,
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_152853_zpsjoc8hw60.jpg)
BENJI THE HUNTED:
Really? This must have been a freebie or something. No way i'd actually BUY this.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_153211_zpstfwwykfy.jpg)
OCTOPUSSY:
I have a better copy of this James Bond poster. Sell!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_153004_zps4eqdcpxg.jpg)
13 GHOSTS:
This is the Illusion-O style for 13 GHOSTS, gimmick maestro William Castle's silly haunted house yarn. This has lots of issues.
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_153045_zpsuottbrkl.jpg
ROPE:
Re-release (80s) of the Alfred Hitchcock thriller. I loved seeing the old Hitchcock's on the big screen back then. Poster is dull though.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_153131_zpsanore6x5.jpg)
OPERATION KID BROTHER:
Sean Connery's less attractive/less talented brother Neil gets a crack at movie stardom...and fails in this weird wannabe spy spoof starring BOND regulars playing roles similar to their 007 assignments and a former Bond girl and former Bond villain. What a mess.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_153553_zpskfnomm2r.jpg)
RETURN TO PEYTON PLACE:
I loved the books and the movies were campy fun (but not as good as the books). The sequel poster took me YEARS to track down.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_153430_zpsgx30jv5p.jpg)
EARTHQUAKE:
Love my 70s disaster flicks.
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_153303_zpscpvhlfnx.jpg
NIGHT OF THE LEPUS:
Ha! I've been trying to get this off and on for a while---who knew i had it already? Is anything worse (or sillier) than the NIGHT OF THE LEPUS? The best/worst giant killer bunny movie ever!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_153709_zpslh6aihvk.jpg)
STARCHASER THE LEGEND OF ORION:
3D sci fi animated flick. I was disappointed...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_153802_zps9cesu0bl.jpg)
PARADISO:
Everything...but everything pops out of the screen! Zowie! 3D nudie cutie fun.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_153844_zps4xbxec47.jpg)
VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS:
Whoo hoo. Love this old giant teen movie from the late 60s. Beau Bridges, little Ronny Howard, Joy Harmon and Tony Basil among others star. Fun poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_153924_zpst8echjyw.jpg)
That's enough for now---but i have NOT even scratched the surface yet of what is in that first box. Stay tuned for further updates-a-go-go!
CHEERS!
-
Good luck on the continuing move and poster unpacking, Shawn. Lots of tubes=lots of posters!! Avalanches and all!
Will look killer and kick ass once you are all re-moved and things are up on the walls.
Bravo!!
clap clap clap
-
Hey JEFF. Thanks for the note. I hope all is well with the family back home.
Okay...Returning to the first box...right where I left off (and this is NOT a new poster post....but more like uncovering lost treasure i already have/had). Let's see. Where did i leave off?
VOYAGE OF THE ROCK ALIENS:
Never saw this doofy-looking movie...starring Pia Zadora!?! ha! it's gotta be worth a look. Or not.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_154007_zpskunil6gt.jpg)
BLACK MAGIC:
I have no idea what this is...but couldn't let it escape being in the Shock-A-Rama Poster Show.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_154057_zpsbz7tvag4.jpg)
JUNGLE BOOK:
Re-release.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_154145_zpsapxghn8y.jpg)
THE DEVIL'S WEDDING NIGHT:
Satan is coming. I wonder if the bride wore white?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_154235_zpsvsqyioos.jpg)
THE DEVIL'S RAIN:
Cool face melting finale in this one. i remember it was re-released once John Travolta was popular and the ads screamed he starred in the film. He only had a small supporting role--maybe he was just an extra? I've seen it since then and can NEVER spot Travolta.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_154310_zpsgb1z5seb.jpg)
SACRIFICE:
Also known as THE MAN FROM DEEP RIVER, an early inspiration for the Italian cannibal sub-genre that followed just a few years later, I have since gotten a color version of this poster.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_154404_zps8rwwmoku.jpg)
ARABIAN ADVENTURE:
Fun comic book-style one sheet for a movie i should probably eventually see...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_154450_zpstkywrabt.jpg)
DEMONS 2:
Let's party. This poster looks much better in real life. But where is my DEMONS original poster? Hmm.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_154538_zpssb9uc4lc.jpg)
WATCH ME WHEN I KILL:
An Italian giallo repackaged to look like a slasher flick. Never saw it, but great sleazy title/poster. Soooo grindhouse looking.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_154616_zpsp1pivmh6.jpg)
SPACE MISSION TO THE LOST PLANET:
I THINK this is a re-titled re-release of HORROR OF THE BLOOD MONSTERS. Cool poster art. Too bad they didn't spring for color versions.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_154702_zps5hmtvrx1.jpg)
VIDEODROME:
Back from the days when David Cronenburg still made imaginative movies....
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_154753_zps4yd1aqjo.jpg)
STARLIGHT SLAUGHTER:
Re-titling release of EATEN ALIVE. (See below)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_155108_zpsdteee1vo.jpg)
THE HOUSE BY THE LAKE:
I've never seen this...but it's an obvious wannabe LAST HOUSE knock-off.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_155014_zpslz8fowwd.jpg)
HOUSE OF THE DAMNED:
I've never seen this--but it looks like a fun old haunted house flick.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_154928_zpsl076iih5.jpg)
LIFEGUARD:
Seemingly advertised as a T&A sex comedy...which it's not. I really liked this flick from the 70s when I saw it. It wasn't anything major--just took me by surprise.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_154850_zpsgrmmuwep.jpg)
THE AMITYVILLE HORROR:
Of course. Every horror poster whore has one...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_155236_zpshwjub3v6.jpg)
CRAZE: Interesting looking Jack Palance flick. Never seen it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_155318_zpsqyxwovrw.jpg)
EATEN ALIVE:
Tobe Hooper's somewhat disappointing follow up to TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE...with Neville Brand and a young Robert England.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_155402_zpsxuzitwrb.jpg)
MIDNIGHT EXPRESS:
Great movie. Glad someone dragged me along to see this at the theater back in the day....otherwise I'd probably never have seen it. I read the book and it's different (of course).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_155441_zpsfjcvvbiv.jpg)
THE UNSEEN:
Poor Barbara Bach...she got herself stuck in a lot of crappy euro-horror flicks, like this one. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_155519_zpsgcf9cazw.jpg)
That's all for now---but the box still has tons of posters left. These first two batches barely made a dent in it. I work the next 4 days in a row (48 hours---ugh!) so i won't have time for this until after my shifts. But stay tuned for more.
CHEERS!
-
Spoiler?
travolta melts at the end
-
BENJI THE HUNTED:
Really? This must have been a freebie or something. No way i'd actually BUY this.
I actually saw Benji the Hunted in the theatre, with my mom, aunt and grandma. Who the f*ck goes to see movies with their moms, aunts and grandmas? I'll tell you who - kids that really really like popcorn. It was worth it.
-
ARI: I know he melts. I've just never been able figure out which one he is....
CRAZY VICK: The poster for your treasured childhood memory can be yours!!!
Here are more posters from the first box. Ugh. There has to be a better/more efficient/easier way to do this. This batch gets me halfway through the first box,,, I still have all of the other posters inside the box to go through, plus all of the ones in the other boxes/tubes/etc. ugh.
DOCTOR DOLITTLE:
In poor condition and very lackluster design, I'll get ride of this....

THE MONKEY'S UNCLE:
Classic Disney with Tommy Kirk and Annette Funicello. And a special appearance by the Beach Boys!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_185555_zpsp9n4by6f.jpg)
PUFNSTUF
I think/hope I have another copy in a frame somewhere. Fun live-action movie based on the Sid & Marty Kroft series. With special guest stars Mama Cass Elliot and Martha Raye!

JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY
Who doesn't have one of these?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_185723_zpsqp7gakhh.jpg)
THE LAST SURVIVOR:
Also known as LAST CANNIBAL WORLD, JUNGLE HOLOCAUST, I'm pretty thrilled to have the US one sheet for this early entry in the Italian cannibal subgenre.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_185803_zpsxmqrhyvm.jpg)
THE TEMPTER:
I love my EXORCIST ripoffs, but this one was pretty awful. Even the poster ultimately has nothing to do with the actual movie. Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_185840_zps4pfygcib.jpg)
DIAL M FOR MURDER (80s re-release):
Never got to see this in 3D but I do remember that, as a kid, it waqs going to be showing in the afternoon on TV (in 2D) and I wanted to see it so bad, i skipped school! Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_185918_zpsrpqfucsz.jpg)
AT THE EARTH'S CORE:
Cool art work for such a cheesy/fun movie.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_190008_zps6p11457b.jpg)
SWORD AND THE SORCERER:
Fun sword and sandal adventure from the early 80s.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_190112_zps7jho54f5.jpg)
THE FUN HOUSE:
This is a rare one I am thrilled to have. This is the original release for a movie that is better known as LAST HOUSE ON DEAD END STREET. Originally called THE CUCKOO CLOCKS OF HELL, this is an underground cult classic horror flick that is not for everyone. The LAST HOUSE title is clearly intended to riff off of LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_190218_zpsm2qzbgcc.jpg)
THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE:
This 80s 3D movie was such a notorious bomb. It came and played only week in my town before disappearing forever. I never got to see it. ARGH! I'm sure it sucks, but...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_190320_zps8p46xjyi.jpg)
THE WILD, WILD WORLD OF JAYNE MANSFIELD:
I hope I have another copy of this. I LOVE this movie. It is brilliant in that it seems to utilize home movies and other creative uses of Jayne (even a stand in at some points) Jayne remembers events that are shown...and clearly Jayne is no where to be seen. Lots of nudie filler towards the end...the whole mess is narrated by Jayne (NOT...although she says she is Jayne). Its a weird brilliant movie pieced together AFTER her death. Wow!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_190413_zpsws5ssp2a.jpg)
THE SEDUCTION:
This was supposed to have been Morgan Fairchild's breakout into movie stardom. It's total trash....and Morgan is now famous for just being Morgan Fairchild. No acting required.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_190509_zps7tppomqd.jpg)
SHARK'S TREASURE:
Post JAWS knock-off to an extent. Fun artwork.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_190557_zpse4lsqnvv.jpg)
GUYANA CULT OF THE DAMNED:
Sleazy little exploitation flick based on the Jones Town cult mass suicide...but strangely cult leader Jim Jones is called something else, Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_190655_zpsqrifgzec.jpg)
DYNASTY:
3D martial arts film poster....gotta love the gimmicks.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_190740_zpszqad9l9z.jpg)
THE CASSANDRA CROSSING:
Late entry in the disaster genre of the 70s, this euro-flick is a long, convoluted mess...with an impressive all-star cast that includes Sophia Loren, Burt Lancaster, OJ Simpson, Lee Strausberg. Martin Sheen, Richard Harris and Ava Gardner.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_190832_zpspu4wkfc2.jpg)
WAR GODDESSES:
Wow! Wow! Wow!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_190956_zps5kpxxa5v.jpg)
MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY:
Better known as CANNIBAL FEROX, this is the US one sheet for this cannibal classic. EEEW! Its a harrowing tale. Not for the faint of heart...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_191052_zpsrb94wnas.jpg)
PSYCHO II:
I may be the only person on the planet to say this, but I really LIKED PSYCHO II. It was much better than Part 3 or 4.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_191134_zpsoqp0nptn.jpg)
FIRESTARTER:
Stephen King---not nearly as good as the book, but what else is new?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_191225_zpsa5hvcwqk.jpg)
THE LEGACY:
This is one of the first dozen or so posters I ever had. I got another copy not so long back (July or so). Kind of a dumb movie---but it somehow lured Katherine Ross, Sam Elliot and Roger Daltry into the mix.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_191355_zps3d6r98lz.jpg)
SON OF BLOB:
If only I had the original BLOB...oh well. I also have the alternate title BEWARE THE BLOB somewhere with different art.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_191450_zpsszwftko5.jpg)
FOOD OF THE GODS:
I saw this movie as a kid and loved it. Wow! The artwork is pretty decent as well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_191547_zpsgrooxbjc.jpg)
BREATHLESS:
I'm not sure why I felt the need to get this. It was just okay to me---but I did love the wild plaid pants Richard Gere wore. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_191633_zpsgieokb08.jpg)
DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE:
Silly Euro-horror film that has long been a guilty pleasure of mine.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_191727_zpsforo4kul.jpg)
TERROR IN THE JUNGLE:
I got another copy of this not too long back. If you ever get a chance to see this movie--DO. It's awesome. ...And you only need to watch the first half hour. After that--turn it off. The first 30 minutes really make the movie. It's like a wonderful tacky spoof of the AIRPORT movies...before the AIRPORT movies existed. LOVE IT!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_191818_zps9ymjdsyo.jpg)
OOOPS! I posted this too soon. I'm NOT even half way through the first box yet. I have 12 more to go just to get to the halfway point. I'll post those now.
-
FANTASTIC INVASION OF PLANET EARTH:
Re-release title for THE BUBBLE, this movie has some of the best 3D effects ever---even if it's just shoving cheap-o monster gloves in your face. I particularly remember the tray of beer that floated out to the audience, That was cool.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_191906_zpsw6q26muu.jpg)
EMPIRE OF THE ANTS:
Bert I. Gordon's follow up to FOOD OF THE GODS was, in my opinion, kind of fun. Joan Collins plays a glamorous real estate con artist who takes a bunch of suckers out to a planned vacation community on a private yacht. It's all a scam of course...but it's also home of these giant mutated ants! Yikes!!!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_191955_zpsnrxbyhhw.jpg)
HELLO MARY LOU: PROM NIGHT II:
The PROM NIGHT franchise does a complete overhaul on itself with this ghost girl haunting (very much inspired by A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_192048_zpsu0zikewf.jpg)
PIPPI IN THE SOUTH SEAS:
I remember when these movies came out when I was a kid. I never got to see them at the time, but loved the books on which they were based. Eventually I did catch all four flicks (culled from a Scandinavian TV series based on the books--which explains why the kids don't age much). I thought I'd track down the posters. I know I have a few...just not sure which ones i am missing.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_192445_zpsmd9fsahw.jpg)
WHEN TIME RAN OUT:
Irwin Allen's last big screen disaster movie flop-a-rama. Its still campy fun.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_192531_zpsywhknm5p.jpg)
CRY BABY:
I'm a John Waters fan (moreso his older stuff, but...). Had to get a CRY BABY.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_192617_zpslm5xfwfb.jpg)
AMITYVILLE 3D:
3D thrills and chills. I saw this in the theater in 3D....it didn't work that well for me.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_192700_zpsvlvju6pe.jpg)
TREASURE OF THE FOUR CROWNS:
Euro-Indiana Jones wanna be in 3D. I saw it at least twice in the theater for the 3D...but every time i see the flick i only count 3 crowns. Where is the 4th?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_192759_zpsumrg5mla.jpg)
METALSTORM: THE DESTRUCTION OF JARED SYN:
More confusing and lame 80s 3D. I saw this on a 3D double bill with JAWS 3D. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_192859_zpswfh0k556.jpg)
CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC:
Oh my stars! One of the biggest box office flops of all time! CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC is wonderfully awful. I love it. You've got the cheesy Village People, Steve Guttenberg, Valerie Perrine, and Caitlyn Jenner long before she had any surgeries and still looked like his Olympian, Wheaties-eating self.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_192951_zpsmwb5lfwh.jpg)
SPACEHUNTER: ADVENTURES IN THE FORBIDDEN ZONE:
Another 80s 3D flick that played for weeks...and yet i somehow failed to get to see it. GRRR.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_193036_zpszowpzfof.jpg)
EYEBALL:
Cool poster...but there is another version I want with this cloaked figure holding a girl. He has his hand extended and he is holding an eyeball in it. Zowie! Never saw the flick though.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20160922_193114_zpsm6bgs4dr.jpg)
And that brings me top the halfway point of the first box. UGH. There are sooooo many posters left to wade through. Any ideas on how to make it easier? CHEERS!
-
I'm in the process of unpacking posters also.
I'm sure I'm not speaking for myself when I say 'thanks,' for taking pics as you wade through yours.
You have a great collection and I am looking forward to seeing more.
pcorn pcorn pcorn
-
I particularly like Fantastic Invasion graphics :thumbsup:
-
treasure of the 4 crowns rules, saw it in 3D at the cinema in Sydney.
only a few of us in there and half walked out.
-
TED: Thanks for the note about posting my stored stuff. UGH! What a pain. I made a video (well, two...it ran too long) tonight and it's uploading on YouTube. This seemed like a faster solution than photos/editing/putting on a photo storage site and then posting. If it is acceptable--great. If not, i'll figure out plan B later.
STEVE: Glad you like FANTASTIC INVASION OF PLANET EARTH. I dig that poster too--way better than the original (which is coming up in the video I am uploading now. Yep...it was in the same box). Stay tuned.
ARI: I agree with you about TREASURE OF THE FOUR CROWNS...that's why i saw it twice at the theater. My only gripe is that I could only count THREE crowns. Where was the 4th? Ha!
I'll try to get my quick-O videos posted tomorrow before work.
Cheers and good night.
-
Hi. They are not done loading/processing you, but when they are, the videos for the rest of the first box will be shown below:
http://www.youtube.com/v/_wIGqk7GXWQ
and, the conclusion to the first box....
http://www.youtube.com/v/2TQHjK5nFVU
They should be done before too much longer. The first one has about 12 minutes to go before it's ready. The second one has about 50 minutes...and I really NEED to get to bed.
GOOD NIGHT
-
You covered a lot of great posters, and great personal and film history! Well done, especially with your stuffy cold voice. Lawl. Sounds like you have seen a plethora of movies.
The video style is kinda more fun than the old photographs, eh?
-
Thank you Neo. I was kind of thinking the video approach was a flop. But with so many posters to cover, it's just much easier to do. It's been about 24 hours since i posted the original two videos. The first one has been seen 7 times (and, oops, I think i was one of them). The second one has only been viewed 2 times. I know it's a Monday and people have better things to do than to watch/listen to sick me talk about my posters...even though I go through them fairly quickly. Oh well. People can look or not look. It's up to them. I just want to get this project done.
I'm still really sick. I went to work today (after calling in the last three days), but ended up just going home sick anyway about 5 hours into my 12 hour shift. Blah! How long is this gonna last? Jeepers!
I made another video just now. It's Box 2...well, the beginning of it anyway. It's uploading now. Watch it or don't...it should be ready below in about 45 minutes.
http://www.youtube.com/v/kpxDd5GDV90
Good night.

See I think this is the confussion!!!!! This thread is about the Mirror Mirror Snow White. Which I have not purchased/bid because it is so easily damaged, and have not found one in a condition to my liking.
I am referring to the 50th Snow White.
(http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah57/thegingerman/snow_white_and_the_seven_dwarfs_R87_foil_SD01684_C_zpsqp8sdrfq.jpg)
The one I have, the boarder is foil around to the wording 50th Anniversary. It is rolled, GoGo has the folded version and he says it is not foil. Some of this 50th have foil some don't..... hmmm.gif
Mine was unearthed in my most recent video. It has foil. Folded though. Waaaagh. Oh wait a minute. I apparently have (at least) two. You are right. I do not think the one I have that you asked about has foil. The one I just saw/filmed DID have foil though. Whatever...
-
Okay...because I am such a big spaz, here is another installment of what's in box #2...
http://www.youtube.com/v/nCnWipwx_88
It will be ready in about an hour. Watch it or don't.
CHEERS!
-
Hi MAGG, I thought you were slowing down on the new purchases... but I think you instead stepped it up a notch or two. I lived Pufnstuf as a kid so like the poster too.
Haven't seen the vids as my phone can't play flash and my prepaid mobile internet is costly, but might try to see them at work. Any boobs in the videos, or work safe haha?
-
Great videos, Shawn!
Really enjoyed going through those boxes of yours.
clap clap clap clap
-
STEVE: Hi there. These posts are NOT of new purchases. I'm just finally getting a chance to go through my boxes and boxes of posters from my 40 years of poster collecting. This is all stuff I've had pre-APF. As for the videos, boobies? Maybe. There's some exploitation stuff in there here and there. No big deal if you don't get a chance to watch them.
TED: Thanks for the words of encouragement. The video process still takes a long time--but not nearly as long as individual photos take. I'm still under the weather. At least this is something i can do...since I don't feel like doing much (except sleeping).
Next part of the 2nd box (getting almost to the half way point...jinkies you can get a lot of folded posters in a box!). There are a few surprises, a few duplicates (not so surprising) and more of my annoying sick voice.
Watch or don't.
http://www.youtube.com/v/p0FRotJOTL4
It will be ready in about 45 minutes.
CHEERS!
-
FIVE WORDS
DAUGHTERS OF SATAN AND SUPERBEAST
Awesome poster. Too bad you dont have multiple copies of that one instead of Black Cauldron!
Love the videos Magg, much appreciated. :)
-
Nice buncha posters.
Were most of these boxed posters ebay purchases?
-
Cool vids, Shawn. And a much better way to show off the boxes of poster goodness you have by sliding one over the other as you give little verbal blurbs about each.
Nice job!
-
CRAZY VICK: Glad you liked the videos AND the DAUGHTERS OF SATAN and SUPERBEAST combo poster. What is up with my multiple copies of THE BLACK CAULDRON? i've never seen the movie and didn't know I had the poster...and now I discover I have at least TWO copies of it. Ha! Some things i remember getting---others I don't...and i just keep RE-BUYING them. ARGH!
TED: Glad you also like the posters. As to whether or not they are mostly eBay purchases, that's hard to say. The ones I say were my first 10 or 20 posters...those were purchased long before eBay existed. Emovie started its internet presence on eBay and Heritage has had auctions on eBay for a while now--still to this day. But yes, I guess you could say that "most" of them were from ebay.
JEFF: Oooo...almost didn't see your note in time before posting this. Thanks. Just sharing the boxes is a chore...but it SEEMS to work the way i have been doing it. I just worry about damaging the posters this way. So far so good, but....
Here is the latest video update of what's in my boxes. We are STILL working our way through Box 2. It's taking forever. Once i finally finish Box 2, i think I'll take a break and finish up other pressing stuff (like the move and life in general). I've been under the weather and out of commission so I've not felt like doing much else. But now that I'm perking up again--I gotta do other stuff. I WILL continue these at some point though (and there will be at least one more video for Box 2 after this).
It should be ready in about 45 minutes from now...
http://www.youtube.com/v/GemiZEAQiNo
Watch or don't.
CHEERS.
-
TheBigBosske: Guessing you are BIG BOSS on here? Thanks for the comment on the video and the link to the "cheapness" video.
Okay here's another peek in Box 2 (and yes, there are still MORE to go after this. ARGH!)
http://www.youtube.com/v/yuA90Vu36js
Watch or don't.
Have a groovy Wednesday,
Cheers

The Horror of Party Beach holds special memories for me.
If you find another copy in the piles, send me a PM.
cheers
Special request: Please do another personalized video while flipping through those 200 framed posters.
That would be very cool.
-
TED: I don't think I have another HORROR OF PARTY BEACH one sheet...but then I didn't know I had this one either. I feel have the one sheet where it is part of a double feature combo though...or maybe that's just what I thought I had and am completely mixed up. Sty tuned, i guess, and see...
As for a video with the framed posters....hmm. Sounds like even MORE hassle. About half of them...maybe a little more...are still at the Shack-0-Rama. Let me get them all back over here and do some repairs (I've had a few fall apart on me in transport) and switch some things out...and, yes, maybe I'll do it. It would be better than the old video I made from years ago. But give me a while...
And now, here is the LAST of the posters in Box 2. Jinkies, it took forever to get through. (Give it about 30 minutes or so to finish uploading/processing)
http://www.youtube.com/v/k08QL8e7GsE
Watch it or don't.
I'll be back on the 1st with my regular posting of new acquisitions (which are really older...held back from August) with photos instead of video.
CHEERS!
-
Just for you, Ted (because you asked)...here is the first video of my framed posters. These are just posters I have moved over so far and stored in the guest bedroom closets. The ones in the poster room are a bit hard to get to as they are wedged in between the wall and the desk. I'll get to those eventually though...as well as all of the others once I get them moved. For now, I hope these work for you.
http://www.youtube.com/v/2HNAVwJa_MM
CHEERS!
-
Outstanding, Shawn!
Thanks for giving us a peek at those beauties.
At 2:50, you show a double-bill one sheet for The Devil's Nightmare/ The Devil's Garden.
The artwork looked familiar.
Ahh... here is where I saw it.
(http://67.media.tumblr.com/25affa4e7a4412648fd7594556a00268/tumblr_oe6hey2Hr61s2pocso1_500.jpg)
Its a 1976 German gig poster, with art by Günther Kieser.
A former APF member (Daniel) has an ultra-rare original for sale here: https://illustractiongallery.com/rock/who-german-tour-1976--signed-.html (https://illustractiongallery.com/rock/who-german-tour-1976--signed-.html)
I was gonna post it in the 'stolen art' thread, but mention made here is fine.
Question: is that Evil Dead unfolded? Sure looks like it. Don't think I've ever seen one rolled.
Good job, man!
cheers
-
Hi TED:
I had also seen that devil's head image around before as well...Not just advertising The Who concert. It does help make that double feature poster pop though. If I can get my butt over to the shack-a-rama before it gets too late, I'll try to get another load of the framed posters over here and make a part 2 video.
No--the EVIL DEAD is folded (well, WAS folded. You know what I mean). I wish it had been rolled, but...
Where the hell am I going to store everything? Argh! Too many frames....
Thanks for looking.
Cheers!
-
Where the hell am I going to store everything? Argh! Too many frames....
Any (and all) overflow can be securely shipped to me here in the Adirondacks.
They will be safe.
You can start with the GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN and HORROR OF PARTY BEACH.
Just send me tracking info so I can clear the bears outta the yard before the postal lady gets here.
cheers
-
TED: I don't think I'll be parting with THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN or HORROR OF PARTY BEACH any time soon. Ha! But thanks for the generous offer.
I never got to the shack-a-rama today. I'm feeling much better today, but still super tired. So I dug out all of the framed posters in the poster room and did a video with them. Some of my most-prized posters (and some tacky crap as well. Ha!) are in this lot (well--before i moved to the shack-a-rama anyway). The video is below (and it's still loading/processing. So be patient please... About 40 minutes left to go-go).
I'll do a video of the rest of my framed posters as i get them moved over. There are just two framed posters here I have not shared yet...because they have framing issues at the moment I need to address. I'll swap out some of the "lesser" posters for some of my newer acquisitions (my 1956 KING KONG for example, BLOOD FEAST, BEACH PARTY, WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST, ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE, etc. etc. etc.) after I do videos of the framed posters as they are now. I'll share the newly framed posters afterwards.
Here is the video of my second batch of framed posters:
http://www.youtube.com/v/HHezsMECl9c
Watch it or don't (but let it load first...still got about 30 minutes to go...)
Thanks for bothering to look.
CHEERS!

ok no more videos until you get better!

Thank you CRAZY VICK for thinking of my welfare...but here is the first glimpse into Box 3!

It looks like it is me indeed ;)
Gonna watch them all, thanks for sharing these videos.

Easily one of my favorite poster collections from a collector who obviously loves this hobby.
Thanks for resurrecting so many memories and nightmares, Shawn!

Hi there. Just heading to bed (it's 1 a/.m. i got up at 5 a.m. for work today. I'm tired...).
I made another video peek into Box 3. The link is below:
BIG BOSS: I'm glad you are delighted with the videos. Knock yourself out and watch 'em all as you say you want to.,,,as not many people have bothered. (Why would they, really...)
Zowie, TED. What kind words. Thank you so much. I'm glad you like my collection (or at least what I've unearthed so far). But you still aren't getting my GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN or HORROR OF PARTY BEACH. ;)
JEFF: You are right---i MIGHT have to change my name. Ha! CHEERS!
Okay--here's the video. Watch or don't:
http://www.youtube.com/v/_GdCUDeKrgc
Good night.

Good morning....groan. I'm up/awake. (Well, one eye is open). Stupid me stayed up until 2:30 a.m. Why? So I could get another video done and bust through this 3rd box (and the whole project) faster. I want to be done.
There were several little gems in this one---thank goodness. The last video was particularly dull..but this one got my heart a flutterin a bit. Ooooo. I was surprised by some things I found. Nothing major...but...
Take a look or don't:

Tourist Trap and Terror Is a Man are two favorites of mine from years gone by.
Well done, man -- you are my new personal hero.
Now, where can I find a copy of Red Riding Hood and the Monsters?
That poster rocks.

Hey there. I got another batch of framed posters home today. Still a LOT over there to bring back. There is a video of my 3rd set of framed posters below. These are clearly not my favorites. There are several I've already mentally removed from their frames. I'll do some changing out later (in a few weeks).
TED: I am glad TOURIST TRAP and TERROR IS A MAN appealed to you. Cut me some slack on RED RIDING HOOD AND THE MONSTERS. It's a kiddie matinee AND it has monsters.
Okay--here's the video of the framed posters I brought home today...

Watch or don't.
CHEERS!

Prepare to be scared? Scared of the thread-bare pickings this month is more like it. Waaaagh! Actually--it's NOT as bad as my last new acq post--by a long shot. In fact, it's got some great stuff in it towards the end. (All purchased back in August before i was uber-broke). Oh well. It is what it is... But this is NEW STUFF you have not seen before--NOT more of the stuff in my boxes.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/tumblr_ncgogi49Rd1tihkqfo1_250_zpsqzmebb8v.gif)
Let's take a look...
THE SHOEMAKER AND THE ELVES:
You may recall i have a penchant for old kiddie matinee posters. Normally something this bottom of the barrel-looking I'd have passed on. But it's so bad looking, i went for it. It was not that expensive any way. Another K. Gordon Murray crap classics. I'm sure it's AWFUL.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/shoemaker_and_the_elves_dupe1_SD06457_T_zpsleexhpwt.jpg)
SNOW WHITE AND ROSE RED and THE BIG BAD WOLF (combo):
I think with this poster I have pretty much collected all of the Childhood Productions kiddie matinee posters (that I'm aware of any way). I already had one of these but needed a better copy as the other one has a nasty piece of masking tape on the front. I've never seen either film, but have seen excerpts from SNOW WHITE AND ROSE RED. UGH! I can't imagine any poor child being forced to endure this crap. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/snow_white_and_rose_red_and_big_bad_wolf_BM06334_T_zpsod9ly6wg.jpg)
THE CURIOUS FEMALE:
I've never seen this, but was stunned that this pre-porn x-rated nudie from the late 60s starred ANGELIQUE PETTYJOHN. Pettyjohn was in a handful of TV shows and movies, most notably as a silver bikini-clad alien amazon warrior woman on the original STAR TREK. This was too interesting (at the time. Now, I'm not so sure...) to pass up. As the tag line reads, No one knows what troubles virgins have... Oh my! Isn't this out on Something Weird video?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/curious_female_SD05223_T_zpske4gpalh.jpg)
THE RAINS OF RANCHIPUR:
I was super excited to see this come up and got it...only to realize, DUH! The movie I was trying to remember (that I mistook this for) was THE RAINS CAME. ARGH! but it was an easy mistake as RAINS OF RANCHIPUR was the remake of THE RAINS CAME---but also a flop...despite the great cast. I've never seen either film, just clips of the disaster/flood scenes from THE RAINS CAME. Oh well. I've done dumber things than to buy the wrong movie poster before....
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Rains%20of%20Ranchipur%20bbb_zpsr9ear8go.jpg)
SEVEN SLAVES AGAINST THE WORLD:
You know by now that I dig my sword & sandal/peplum pictures from the 1950s and '60s. I call them just Hercules movies, even if Hercules isn't in them. I don't think Herc is anywhere to be seen in this one. I probably have this poster already...or maybe not. It was cheap. I could have lived withOUT it, but....
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/seven_slaves_against_the_world_KM01517_T_zpsuufx8g2d.jpg)
HERCULES IN NEW YORK:
Huh? Yes I like my Hercules movies---but even this one I find hard to watch. Arnold Schwarzenegger (billed as Arnold Strong) plays Herc here--in his first film role.In the original releases, his thick accent caused the producers to dub his lines (however the DVD features his original Ah-nold dialogue intact). Arnold Stang (!) is his sidekick. For some reason though, the original release posters are pricey. i have the other version with Herc riding a chariot through Times Square, but I always wanted this barbell version---and it's in marvelous shape. Yippie! I paid too much for it--but couldn't let it go by.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Hercules%20in%20New%20York%20barbells_zpsdkipjde2.jpg)
THE AMAZING TRANSPARENT MAN:
Yes, i DID get one of these last year or something like that...but that copy was a bit shabbier than i thought it was going to be. Upgrade time...and less than i paid for the other one. This one still has some issues, but...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Amazing%20Transparent%20Man_zpsxih2uvcz.jpg)
BARN OF THE NAKED DEAD:
Another hold over from one of Rich's auctions. (Hence the watermark) I am sure i already have one of these posters--but this may be an upgrade? Wonderfully sleazy, schlocky poster for a crap film. O' how badly I wanted to see this flick back in the 70s when it came out. Also known as Terror Circus and starring Andrew Prine.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Barn%20of%20the%20Naked%20Dead_zpsgugmwxpp.jpg)
RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1982 re-release):
Drew Struzan's work on this re-release poster totally eclipsed the work by Richard Amsel on the original release's poster (in my opinion)...and it went on the influence the style of the poster art for the succeeding sequels. The 1982 re-release may even be more sought after than the original...who knows? (I have both so...it doesn't matter to me.). This is also an addition from Rich's auctions a while back, Thanks, Rich!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Raiders%20of%20the%20Lost%20Ark%20rerelease_zpscciqp0ww.jpg)
FREAKS(1949 re-release on linen):
While it is only the re-release (and it's on linen...blah! This is now my third linen poster. You'll see my 2nd linen poster in my Oct. 15th post) and not the original release I'd love to have---FREAKS? I'll take it. This movie is ultra hard to get anything on., Yahoo. I got this in August but what else is new? Most of the things I've been posting since August (And will be posting into November) are from August. I am poor, poor, POOR now. So I consider this a lucky, last-minute win.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/FREAKS%201949%20re-release_zpshy6xhlln.jpg)
That's it for now. Have a groovy er, bewitching October.

I hate to correct someone as astute as yourself, Shawn, but this artwork is also by Richard Amsel (see sig bottom right) and not Drew Struzan.
Love that FREAKS buddy. I was going to bid that baby up but I had other fish to fry.
Barn of the Naked Dead is one of the great crap-tacular re-titles. Love it.
Now, get on over to the Halloween thread and post your 'A's.' piratemel
-
Zowie! You are so correct. Amsel DID do the re-release. My confusion of course is because Struzan did the posters for the sequels. I blame this temporary confusion on the stress from the move, work and being so sick for so long. :) Glad you like the FREAKS and BARN OF THE NAKED DEAD though.
-
Glad you got in on the Halloween thread with all that cool paper.

Oh my stars! The move drags on... I brought another load over tonight. ARGH! There are still MORE poster tubes over there and MORE framed posters. I have TOO MANY POSTERS! I have no idea where I'm going to stash them all. The hall closet as well as the poster room closet are FULL of tubes. The other bedroom closets have framed posters in them---and there's no room for anything else. And let me say it now---i HATE rolled posters. Not only do the tubes take up so much room---but I was trying to go through some and consolidate them...and they are impossible to work with. GRRR. Remind me to never buy any more rolled posters. I prefer folded (for storage convenience).
Here's tonight's haul of framed posters I brought home:

Damn. more framed goodness.
With so many posters framed, have you ever had that many on the walls at once?

If Shawn had, he would have given Melvin a run for his money. ;D

TED: Glad you appreciate the videos. Not many people are bothering to watch them. That's okay. I have a lot of crap--too much crap. And to answer your question, I have more than 200 framed posters....that mostly sit in the closet. At most in this house I've ever had up at one time is about 48 (I just did a quick count of space). I can't put them in the guest bathroom any more as there is now a shower in there (Before it just had a bathtub)....but to make up for it, ironically I never had posters in what I now call the poster room (before, my mom was storing all of my grandmother's stuff in the garage---so in lieu of a garage, i used the poster room as my storage. I now have the garage back too). I could fit 9 in here. But will i re-hang them? My plan is to only be here two years and then sell and move away. So no, I probably will NOT hang them up while I'm here.
JEFF: Who is Melvin?

Monster-B--Baby
I know I dont respond VERY often, mainly because I dont have so muchj time these days, but I always look, and I am always SO IMPRESSED, seriosuly wqe have the same taste.
I used to collect like you, basically ANYTHING that I remotely liked for whatever reason.
I cant/dont/wont anymore, I am more focused (too many posters, too few $/time/space)
BUT I really love your posters, taste, style.
And the videos are really fun.
OK, thats enough, you know I am a MaGG fan, so please carry on with whatever you were doing.
-
Hi ARI: Thank you for the note. I was not basing my assessment that a lot of people were not bothering to watch the videos based on lack of feedback on here. I am aware that people are busy, or can be shy or are just lurking--or whatever. That is okay. I had been doing this hobby all alone for nearly 40 years before I discovered APF.
What I had been basing it on was the viewership analysis log (or whatever it is called) on YouTube. I'd been checking that out since I started. The videos, while easier than posting photos, are still a pain to make---and they require a time commitment from the viewer. I looked at the views to gauge whether or not to continue the videos. While some have double digit views (Ooooo...11, 12, 15!), most languish with single digit views (1, 2, 4, ....0).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Vid%20views_zpsqsc5oc6z.jpg)
I'll continue to make them if only a handful of people (or even just one person) continues to bother to watching. While I'll still post my new acquisitions with photos, I have too much old stuff to do it any other way than video,
And yes Ari--we do have the same taste. That is why early on you became one of my favorites.
CHEERS!

Mel was a former member who utilized huge amounts of his available wall space to hang his framed posters, in many cases side by side, in rows.
Unfortunately, when he left the forum, he took down his photo sharing/hosted album, so his posters and display options can no longer be seen here.
-
Thanks for the entertainment, Shawn!
I just love the videos.
clap clap clap clap

Hi MAGG, could you please post a link to your videos as my mobile has no flash installed so the aboves are just black. On YouTube the videos are not flash so I'll be able to have a gander, thanks
-
JEFF: That must be the "Dread Pirate Mel" I've seen on the boards. Too bad he removed all of his photos.
TED: I'm glad you like the videos. Below you will find the LAST of my framed posters. I don't know exactly what happened, but halfway through it, it stopped. So I just picked up where I left off. I was going to try and edit it--bit I could not find any editing software on my computer...so I just uploaded it in two parts. They are below.
STEVE: Not a problem. Thanks for the interest. I'll post them all below.
Here are the two parts of the video for the last framed posters:

Thanks for the links MAGG. Rocky Horror posters I can see were cool posters to start your collection with. Liking most Trader Hornee and Disaster. Good hearing your thoughts on each movie
-
Don't O.D. should you chose to watch them all. Watch only one or two at a time. I get bored watching them.
Yes, the ROCKY HORRORS were cool for me to have (I'd say posters #6 & 7?) as is TRADER HORNEE.
Thanks for watching.
Off to bed for me. I work tomorrow (just until 2 pm--I have a class and am NOT on the floor).
Cheers!

PS
As for DISASTER, here is the one sheet I originally found years ago at that swap meet at the naval base on Alameda.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/20161002_225403_zpshqj56wtw.jpg)
Also (just because it was in the same chunks of protective cardboard), I have this unusual poster thing for ROLLERCOASTER. This is art that was NOT used for either style of the one sheet (although it was used for the novelization cover). It's bigger than a lobby card but smaller than a half sheet. I'm guessing it was some sort of promotional poster for early in the production? I don't know. Whatever...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng001/20161002_225421_zpsryiqgh3o.jpg)
Good night

Good to see the Disaster half sheet thumbsup.gif

STEVE: I'm glad you appreciated the DISASTER half sheet. I've never seen another.
Below is another (short) video. It's an addendum to the framed poster videos. Ooooo i couldn't wait to show you.
Here it is:

Really digging the videos!
The Man Who Cried Wolf is the standout for me on that last one.. never heard of the film, but that poster is gorgeous.
You really do have one of the most eclectic collections I've seen. Keep on, keeping on! :)
-
Great to see your Kong framed, Shawn.
And The Man Who Cried Wolf is a gorgeous piece of cinema history.
clap clap clap clap

I know my videos are not that popular (the last one only had 6 views. There's another with only 3 views). That's okay. I don't really expect anyone who isn't really interested/curious to watch them. I started exploring my 4th box of posters. Here is the 1st video:
http://www.youtube.com/v/GxV1XQVPXlQ
http://www.youtube.com/v/GxV1XQVPXlQ (http://www.youtube.com/v/GxV1XQVPXlQ)
There's some stuff I didn't even know I had, but also some stuff I've shared on my thread early on. I'm guessing the deeper I go into the box the more stuff that is NOT on my thread will surface.
If the videos are not your cup of tea, i'll be back on the 15th with my regular posting of new acquisitions in traditional photo format.
I hope all is groovy.
Cha Cha Cha!
-
I used to love to see your posters and your commentary but I admit the videos killed it for me. :-\

The videos are just for the boxes and tubes. Once I wade through all of the long-stored posters, I'll avoid the video. I'll still do my new stuff with just pictures like always (next one is Friday). Thanks for your honesty SKYJACKERS.
Hi STEVE.
Cheers.
-
The videos are great. Your knowledge in movies is amazing MAGG and your reactions to finding some of your own posters is pretty amusing! I`m going to post a video one of these days too.
-
Im gonna post a video of me watching one of these videos one day :)
-
Sorry, we dig the vids and we dig the pics, so you've got to do them both.
Its your lot in life, dude.
So get on with it.

CRAZY VICK: Zowie! Nice to hear you like them. I was going to just stop--but, okay, you convinced me. I'll continue. The newest one is below and there may actually be a poster or two in it for movies you may never have heard of.
ARI:A video of you watching one of my videos? Huh? Why would we want to see you sleeping, possibly drooling or snoring while one of my videos drones on and on and on? Ha!
TED: As I told CRAZY VICK, the next video is below. I tried to weed out stuff that is already on my thread or that I have multiple copies of (DAMIEN OMEN 2, LOGAN'S RUN, ORCA, etc.), so hopefully the video will be a little less dull. Post of new acquisitions (pictures and blurbs) comes Friday. There's some crap in it---but also some neat stuff (especially the last one listed. Oooooo...I LOVE it! Wait until you see...)
Here's the 2nd video for Box 4:

CHEERS!

DEATH MACHINES is really fun, check it out.
IN SEARCH OF NOAHS ARK, I have the BOOK! haha, same art on cover.
good shit
-
Just to be clear, I didn't mean to criticise the videos, I've never watched one. It's just the format that is less appealing to me that's all.
-
Hey ARI. Thanks for the tip. I'll have to check out DEATH MACHINES. Sounds cool.
SKYJACKERS--no worries. I still will do my usual picture posts on the 1st and 15 of each month (and occasionally on surprise bonus days). The next one is on the 15th--which is Saturday, not Friday as i originally stated. Oops!
My mom is coming to town (from Washington state). She will be here for about a month, leaving just before Thanksgiving. She'll be staying here at my house...so I've got to get it as cleaned up as possible (I still have boxes everywhere) and I won't be able to go through any more boxes until after she leaves. In the mean time, here is the last of the videos (#3) for box 4:

Re Poster Box 4 video 2...
Haha, I am certainly paying attention to those gazoomas on Island Of Lost Souls. I pity the fool who lost some of them to your collection. Mmmm, yum Beau Pere. Terrornaughts cool too. Maybe I should check out the film Sorceress with the twins. Strange movie The Refrigerator - wonder how a film could be made about that!
-
theres a movie about a killer washing machine also. good shit.

It's mid-October...already. It's just two weeks until Halloween...can your heart stand the TERROR of trick-or-treaters at your door every five minutes? EEEEEK!
TED:Final reel---for now. i still have several boxes to work my way through (and all of those rolled posters too. EEEK!). Those will have to wait until my mom's month-long visit is over. Stay tuned. And thanks for checking them out.
STEVE:I'm glad some of the posters appealed to you. BEAU PERE? I went back and looked at it again. Aha! I see what you saw and appreciated. Ha! Apparently, in the French poster, the girl is topless. Oo la la! Not my type of poster though... Have you SEEN "THE REFRIGERATOR"?? How is it? I honestly didn't remember I had the poster until I went through the box.
ARI: Killer Washing Machine movie!? WHAT!?! How come I was NOT notified sooner? Zowie! I have to track that down. Did it ever have a theatrical release (and poster)? Wait. Is it this one? https://horrorpedia.com/2014/08/26/the-washing-machine/ (https://horrorpedia.com/2014/08/26/the-washing-machine/)
I'm broke. I know I say this a lot--but it's true. Everything on this post was purchased in August. (I think.) But here is what I have to share with you this month. Enjoy (or don't):
POPCORN:
What a great image--the face is just a mask. I saw this movie and know i wanted to like it---but don't think it clicked for me...and now I don't really remember it at all. This came out around the time of "MATINEE"--"MATINEE" was a sort of homage to William Castle and his gimmicks for his movies (and featured the faux movie "MANT" (Half man, half ant!). This seemed to want to go that same route initially (there was a revival of some old gimmick movies or something like that) and then sort of devolved into this haunted theater with a Freddy Kreuger-like ghost--or a weirdo pretending to be a phantom? Hmmm. Something like that. I don't know....maybe I should see it again? Anyway--i've always loved the poster and have wanted to get one (I don't think I have one yet...do I?)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Popcorn_zpsslj0djj3.jpg)
GURU THE MAD MONK:
Yahoo! Believe it or not, this poster was on my bucket list (along with a few other poster titles from trash movie auteur Andy Milligan). While not as trashy/fun as the posters for THE RATS ARE COMING-THE WEREWOLVES ARE HERE or BLOODTHIRSTY BUTCHERS or even TORTURE DUNGEON...it's still a cool poster. In Milligan's case...his posters were usually better than the crappy films he cranked out. I am down to just two or three of his posters on my list. Do i recommend the actual film to anyone? NO. But i do dig the poster. (And--oops! I already posted this in the Halloween section. Drat!)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Guru%20the%20Mad%20Monk_zpsh0vdp7ia.jpg)
APE.:
I already have this poster...and love it. It's one pf the many posters I have framed. However, when I was moving it, I spotted this tan line on it that had not been there before. Acid reaction? Hope not. But I picked this one up to rep[lace it. Such a cool poster for such a crappy flick. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/APE_zps2agmhvo1.jpg)
EL TOPO (German):
Finally some paper for EL TOPO, Alejandro Jordowosky's amazing cult film from the early 70s. Jordowosky is an amazing cinematic genius (for the most part). I was not fond of Fando Y Lis, his first film, nor was I pleased with THE DANCE OF REALITY (or any of the films he made for others)....but EL TOPO, HOLY MOUNTAIN, and SANTA SANGRE are just brilliant! I am looking forward to his next film, POESIA SIN FIN and am hopeful he gets to make his long-planned sequel to EL TOPO. There is nothing pedestrian about a Jordowosky film.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/El%20Topo%20German_zpsdevq9szl.jpg)
ALIEN NATION ( Turkish):
Never saw the movie--or the TV series--but I got the gist of it. I got this strictly because of the interesting artwork.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/turkish_alien_nation_KM01749_T_zps6a2ouvre.jpg)
FROGS:
Today the pond...tomorrow the world! Here's the poster for the camp classic nature-gone-amuck flick FROGS. Gotta love the hand in the frog's mouth, Ha! Yes, this is another copy...hopefully an upgrade.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Frogs_zpscfmqv3ht.jpg)
DRACULA - PRINCE OF DARKNESS (small French):
Not in the best shape, but not bad...I thought I'd pick up this French Hammer Dracula poster to go with my French Hammer werewolf poster I got last November (?).

SHOCK WAVES:Hey, I finally got one. I spent a bit more than I planned on, but that's okay. I just hope that,. as i dig through my boxes, I do NOT discover I already have one (or two...or...)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Shock%20Waves_zps9xxsvqgt.jpg)
CANNIBAL and THE PSYCHIC KILLER British Quad combo:
Oooo I have long wanted one of these. The PSYCHIC KILLER is interesting to look at, but I am , of course, more drawn to the CANNIBAL side. This is the British release of LAST CANNIBAL WORLD or, as it was known in n the USA, THE LAST SURVIVOR. Finally got one. Yowza!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Cannibal%20and%20Psychic%20Killer%20British%20Quad_zpsohrakxag.jpg)
CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN (3-sheet on linen):
Ooooo crap-a-rama. This is a hold over from eMovie's August major auction. Ouch. I spent way, way, WAY too much on this. EEEK! I had bid an amount (under $200...like $168 or something). I was at the laundromat (UGH! Remember this was back in August. i was not in my house yet.) I just happened to look at my phone and saw the outbid notice. By the time I got logged on and everything, there were literally seconds left before this closed. YIKES! I just bid a number---not even registering how high I'd gone or that i was secretly HOPING to be outbid (I was outbid on the other items I had bid on and just let them go). Even during those last 5 minutes of extended time bidding I was hoping to be outbid. It didn't happen and this is mine. Oooooo I do love it. i think it is gorgeous and thrilling. It's my first 3-sheet (how in the heck am I going to frame it/hang it?) and my 2nd linen poster. I've never seen this movie--and am guessing it's a pretty crappy B movie, but I LOVE the poster. Yowza! I'm working an extra shift tomorrow and that still won't pay for this. Ha! Oh well... I think it's just gorgeous.

That's it for now. Enjoy the end of October and the spookiest of holidays...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
Boo!
-
yeah thats THE WSHING MACHINE, its not his best film, but watchable for sure.
LOVE the ATOM BRAIN 3 Sheet, seriously, thats a beauty
-
More eclectic pickups, Shawm, And I agree with Ari.. your Creature with the Atom Brain 3 sheet is wunderbahr. And Ive always really liked the Shock Waves OS, too.
Congrats on more ghoulish acquisitions. thumbsup.gif
-
ARI: I really need to track down that movie. I already looked on Amazon and it seems to be only available in PAL. Drat! Glad you liked the ATOM BRAIN poster. I am sooooo thrilled with it---but it's soooo HUGE!
JEFF: Thanks for kudos for this post--especially for the ATOM BRAIN and SHOCK WAVES posters. From here on out, it's bargain basement time pretty much. Wait until you see the November 1st posting...it's virtually all cheap CRAP no one else wants. There may be a special bonus posting coming up (hint! hint!) before then that might have a few minor splurges in it---but most of it is bargain stuff as well. You'll see. Thanks for visiting...
-
That Creature With the Atom Brain 3sht is quite handsome.
Kudos also for Shock Waves, Drac Prince of Darkness and Psychic Killer / Cannibal quad.
clap clap clap clap clap
-
Nice update man!
The Popcorn, El Topo, and Dracula are real stand outs! Congrats on joining the Shock Wave club as well! Truly iconic artwork on that one.

Hi there. I just wanted to respond and have a mini-bonus posting (you'll read why I'm posting it now in the description).
TED: Zowie! I'm thrilled you like so many titles from my most recent post. THANK YOU! Truth be told, as Halloween is my favorite holiday, I kind of corralled some of my better new posters for this post. The true crap (of the uber-cheap variety) will greet you in the November and December posts. Ha! (I'm soooo NOT kidding.)
CHRIS: Always a pleasant surprise to see you here as well. Have you been M.I.A. lately? hmm. Glad you also like several posters from my recent update-a-go-go. Thanks for stopping by.
Now here is the bonus poster update---not the most stellar poster ever, but...here it is anyway!
SHE WAS A HIPPY VAMPIRE:
As I said, not the best poster ever...but SHE WAS A HIPPY VAMPIRE? What a groovy title! A Thrill-cade of excitement roaring through the streets into Wildville! Cool. This is actually a re-release re-titling of Jerry Warren's snoozefest, THE WILD WORLD OF BATWOMAN (aka a cheap-o black & white rip-off of TVs BATMAN) cleverly disguised for that era's hip(py)sters, who I'm sure were appalled to find they'd stumbled into a dated, crappy, totally unhip(py) flick. I'm sure they hated it...unless they were on some illegal mind-altering substances perhaps. But i couldn't pass it up, of course. It's a trip. (And YES, I DID share this a bit early on the Halloween thread today. Just pretend you didn't see it then. It's really a new one for me--got it today-- on the day the S's started, actually. Since I've already shared it, might as well post it here too. Why hold it until a future post?)
That's it for now. Thanks again for visiting. Now I need to dash off to bed as I have (OH NO!!!!) jury duty in the morning (ARGH!).
Good night.

Na, not MIA. I drop in on your thread often. One of the best on here imho. I just don't comment every time...
Keep up the killer updates buddy.

Hi there.... HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Because it is my favorite holiday, I am going to go ahead and make a last-minute bonus post of new acquisitions (something I do not like to do too often as I really need to be frugal with my new acqs as they are NOT coming in as fast and furiously as before. Certainly the quality isn't what it used to be -- just wait until you see what is coming up--some jewels but a lot of junk too).
CHRIS, thanks for visiting. No commenting necessary...it's just I hadn't seen your comments ANYwhere (not just my thread) for a while. Thanks for the kind words about my collection/thread. I hope you'll find something you like in today's post. The November 1st (tomorrow!) post is full of crap...ha! I am sooooo NOT kidding. Cheers!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/giphy%203_zpszpgwpu7o.gif)
Trick or treat...here come the posters.
THE ZOMBIE WALKS (Turkish):
Budget emovie goodness...well, okay-ness... I got this for a mere $7 and let everything else go. I'm telling you, I be poor, No idea what the movie is like. I hope I do not already have this...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/turkish_zombie_walks_KM01748_T_zpswh7jnwkd.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng011/giphy%2024_zps21o4vtnh.gif)
THE WITCH:
I thought this movie was a total MISSED opportunity. The sets/costumes/setting were all wonderful. The acting was fine. The actual plot was what was lacking. BORING. I had such high hopes too. Oh well. As much as I didn't like the movie, the poster (this one) has struck my fancy since i first saw it. It goes crazy high for some reason...so when i saw it crazy cheap I couldn't say no.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Witch_zpsayd7fz8n.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng011/giphy%202_zpsapjczvsn.gif)
THE CONJURING 2:
Did i need this? No. Will i ever hang it? Not. Was it cheap or something. Yep. It came with THE WITCH poster. Both for $9.99. Sale!

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng011/giphy%2021_zpst4s1abwi.gif)
BLACK DEVIL DOLL:
I had been watching this poster off and on for months. It never sold. The seller eventually lowered the price. I sent him a note saying if he lowered it just $2 more, I'd buy it. He did and I did. Ha. What an amazing poster---soooo NOT P.C. on purpose. A total throwback to the blaxploitation days of the early 70s. Yowza! The movie is probably crap (Yes, it really does exist. I have it...just have not watched it yet. Same art on the DVD cover as shown here, And apparently there is a 6 episodes web series starring Black Devil Doll coming soon called "There Goes Da Neighba'hood" I'm not kidding.)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Black%20Devil%20Doll_zpsjbjvwri2.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/giphy%201_zpsusbnfrqd.gif)
KING DINOSAUR (Thai):
I don't know if this is the very old and creaky KING DINOSAUR or something else. But judging by the giant ape on the front, this is circa 1976 when the first KING KONG remake came out. The ape looks very similar to the 70's KONG. Whatever this poster is for---fun graphics.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/King%20Dinosaur_zpsvh1iapnp.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng012/giphy%2034_zpsxx4tism8.gif)
MAGDALENA - POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL (Gerrman):
Also known as BEYOND THE DARKNESS, this Euro-EXORCIST copy is hard to find any paper on. I dug the image on this German poster, with the devil's face made up of various nude female bodies, so I snagged it. The movie is only so-so with more nudity and Euro sleaze than THE EXORCIST--but not nearly as good either.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Magdalena%20Possessed%20By%20The%20devil%20German_zpszernesnf.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng011/giphy%2010_zpsr5sljgne.gif)
MY WORLD DIES SCREAMING:
Also known as (and better known as) TERROR IN A HAUNTED HOUSE, this is the first of only two movies using the subliminal gimmick PSYCHO-RAMA (the other being A DATE WITH DEATH). The gimmick utilized images quickly flashed on the screen--faster than the conscious mind can see--but not the subconscious. Lame poster, but important (to me) for the gimmick.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_6248_zpsvfxbiixq.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng012/giphy%205_zpsr6nydqen.gif)
BLUEBEARD'S 10 HONEYMOONS:
I had never heard of this movie until I came across a kind of ratty copy of the poster (or maybe the half sheet?) and bought it. Since then, I've been searching for a decent copy. This is finally it. Still have not seen the movie though...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/IMG_6249_zpszrcwodsz.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng011/giphy%2027_zpsa4oblqtj.gif)

I know I posted one of these back in August. This 2nd copy is just an upgrade. But did I really need it? Hmm.

THE THING THAT COULDN'T DIE:
Yes, I am uber-broke. This is my first splurge since moving into my house at the beginning of September. Yikes--I hadn't even gotten my first electric bill yet (which i knew would probably be high...and it WAS!)--but I went ahead and splurged on this. OUCH. I'm gonna be more financially hurt than ever---but I couldn't let this cool and stunning poster go. WOW!

love em,. especially THING THAT COULDNT DIE.
I got one of those KONGS also, be interested to know more about the film (anything)
-
"King Dinosaur" is a b&w flick from the mid-50's directed by Bert I. Gordon (aka Mr B.I.G.). But I am guessing this Thai release of it was to capitalize on the success of the 76 KING KONG based on the bogus (but obvious) KONG in the poster art. Unless it is some other movie using the KING DINOSAUR title?
I couldn't generate a video link, but here is a link to the film:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2112f0_king-dinosaur_shortfilms (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2112f0_king-dinosaur_shortfilms)
Here is the MST3K version:

Glad you liked THE THING THAT COULDN'T DIE. That is my favorite as well.
CHEERS!

Your gif interludes made this last post, Shawn. Halloween is one of my fave holidays, too, all due to my dad, who was SO into it and decorating our house when we were kids. He instilled the fun and love of this day to my 3 other siblings, as well.
Cool posters, too. They all fit well, in the spirit of the day. >:D
-
ah thanks for info
-
JEFF: Glad you liked the gifs. I tried to make it as seasonally fun as possible. Thanks for noticing.
ARI: Of COURSE.
Tomorrow is another day...and another post! My usual 1st of the month post will go up some time after the APF clock strikes midnight. Stay tuned... (And get ready for some serious suck-age. Man. o' man...)
Thanks for stopping by.
TRICK OR TREAT!!!!
CHEERS!

Great post Shawn! Very entertaining (and spooky)... :o

Great post Shawn!
Loving The Witch one sheet and that Black Devil Doll nonsense.
Outrageous!

The last of my stuff got moved from the shack-0-rama today, including my long-buried NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET pinball machine. While it's not ready for play yet, it was great to see it after years buried away.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng023/20161031_145513_zpsgkvkzvgo.jpg)

Hi there! Did you survive Halloween? I hope so...
DEVON: Glad you also liked the "spooky" post...and KING DINOSAUR. Ha! Happy
belated .Halloween
TED: Super glad you appreciated BLACK DEVIL DOLL. It's a total flashback, non=PC hoot of a poster. Rated X by an all-white jury. Ha! CHEERS!
I am really, really running out of new stuff to post as you'll see in the lackluster posting below. (And I've been warning you this was gonna happen for weeks now...)
Let's take a look...
SEX AND THE CITY (Style B):
What the heck is THIS doing in the Shock-A-Rama Poster Show? I told you it was getting to be slim pickings around here... Actually, if you must know. I liked/watched the TV series. I had heard the show was good from co-workers years ago while it was on, so (just like I do now because i do not watch TV / do not have cable) I bought the various season sets (having never seen the show) and watched them. Sure, it was a chick show (my first clue SHOULD have been it was the various women in my department at the newspaper that were the ones talking about it)...but since I had bought the entire series i stuck with it. It was entertaining. I did see both of the movies...eh. I wasn't impressed with either of them--but have a poster for each title i think. I got this one because it features the 4 main characters (and it was CHEAP). Did i need it? No. But it had been DAYS since my last poster fix (remember, most of these other posters below were purchased in August before I moved back to my house)....so....
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Sex%20and%20the%20City%20style%20B_zps64pxvamv.jpg)
SINDBAD THE SAILOR:
Not to be confused with the Guy Williams movie of the same name (and the same unfortunate alternate spelling), this poster is for an animated adventure (which i've never seen). I picked this up just because I have almost every Sinbad movie poster (except the `1947 version with Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Were there any more i missed?).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Sindbad%20the%20Sailor%20animated_zpswvvtkegk.jpg)
THE BOYS NEXT DOOR:
Another film I have never seen, but always meant too, THE BOYS NEXT DOOR isn't quite a horror movie...but it's about two recent high school graduates (Maxwell Caulfield and Charlie Sheen) who kind of go a bit bonkers and go on a crime spree. I think. I've heard a lot of good things about this film and could kick myself as i always seemed to see this in the bargain bin at video stores back in the VHS era...and i NEVER picked it up. Oh well. Maybe I'll catch it some day...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boys_next_door_KM01605_T_zpstrkux5ie.jpg)
THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL:
Yes, i DO already have one of these---gotten not so long ago. Why a second copy? This one appears to be in better shape than the one I scored before. I hope so. I've just GOT to sell some of my posters soon---I am THAT financially strapped. (No, i will NOT be selling my really good stuff. Just dupes and stuff i don't care about...). I bought this in early August.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/there_was_a_little_girl_KM01571_T_zpsmrumiq3h.jpg)
SEXUAL FANTASIES USA:
Gimmick Alert! The first audience participation adult film? ESP-Erotic Sensation Profile? Ha! I'm sure the "special device" everyone received was some slip of paper with a sexual point value thing or something like that. Ha! Scam gimmick---but I had to have it. Another August purchase.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/sexual_fantasies_usa_KM01569_T_zpshxfddc3n.jpg)
THAR SHE BLOWS:
I'm a sucker for those Something Weird-esque nudies (like THE EROTIC ADVENTURES OF ZORRO or TRADER HORNEE). I should have let it go, but....THAR SHE BLOWS!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/thar_she_blows_KM01571_T_zpsrbkxn0z0.jpg)
ARABIAN ADVENTURE (English one sheet):
I've heard good things about this film and someday I would like to track it down. I have the US one sheet---but have always dug the English version. Do I have this already? I don';t think so... Hmm.Drat it! I DO own one already. i was just reviewing my thread and there, towards the beginning, is this same poster. ARGH! More wasted money buying a duplicate... Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/english_1sh_arabian_adventure_KM01587_T_zpsbpa1vnr8.jpg)
DEVIL AT 4 O'CLOCK:
It's the early 60s disaster epic with Frank Sinatra and Spencer Tracy. I had never even heard of this flick until i caught the tail end of it playing in a tiki bar. Wow! Love my disaster flicks--and two classic stars. I already have a copy of this. This is just an upgrade.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Devil%20at%204%20OClock_zpssk6zp9mg.jpg)
GOLDFINGER and DR. NO (re-release combo):
Speaking of upgrades, this is the 3rd copy of this poster I've purchased. I think i FINALLY have one I can be happy with. I now have all of the one sheets from all of the Bond films (Dr. No thru On Her Majesty's Secret Service are the 80s re-release versions however). Whoo hoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Goldfinger%20Dr.%20No%20combo_zpscywqobxz.jpg)
JUNGLE MOON MEN:
Whoo hoo (again)...at last! My first Jungle Jim poster. After he was deemed too old to play Tarzan (how rude...) and was replaced in the role by Lex Barker, Johnny Weismuller found new life as jungle adventurer Jungle Jim in a series of movies. I've never seen them (I haven't seen a lot of stuff surprisingly), but as a fan of the Tarzan films, I have wanted to include these posters. This one sounds fun. Moon men? Zowie!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/jungle_moon_men_KM01590_T_zps6g7q5if9.jpg)
And that's all for now. You have survived the horrors of Halloween. Get ready though...election day is coming! That actually sounds like it could be VERY scary this year. EEEK!
CHEERS!

THAR SHE BLOWS is great, always wanted one, LOVE Dave Friedman. I had the video years ago, couldn't watch it, but I like the title. AND its catch phrase I use very often. (people tease me about it)

You had the vid. So what stopped you from watching it? hmmm.gif
-
not interested in watching porn
-
Is it porn? Or just nudie cutie stuff?
-
soft porn.
I would like to watch an edited version as I like the production values, or lack thereof but the sex is off putting.
GREAT Poster though.

Thanks for visiting ARI and JEFF. At least one of the slim pickings for my November 1st post met with your approval. (I realize the Halloween post yesterday was more than slightly better...but you can't have winners every time. Sigh...)
CHEERS!
-
Awesome update... 'Thar She Blows' .. ;D
Man, that pinball machine is killer. I'm a sucker for vintage arcade gamers unfortunately/fortunately, I have absolutely nowhere where I could put one!
-
CHRIS: Thanks for stopping by. It's always nice to see you. Glad you also like THAR SHE BLOWS. Ha! Also thanks for the kind words on my pinball machine. Unfortunately i can NOT get it to work again and I have NO IDEA where the keys that open it up are. ARGH! I'm sure I have them...just have to unpack them or find them. It's a cool one though. It was a Christmas gift many, many moons ago...
-
Jungle Moon Men thumbsup.gif. Me Tarazan, me want, you Go-Go, you give. ;)
-
Hey DEVON. You Tarzan? No. You CHEETAH! Ungawa! Go play with your banana. Me keep JUNGLE MOON MEN poster. But I'm so glad you like it. Let me give you a big Tarzan yell for that: Ah-AH-ahhh!!!
-
soft porn.

And this must mean that you look at Playboy or Penthouse for just the articles (writing style, context etc)? imbecile.gif wynk

Oh man! That is awesome! Now you just need a Creature from the Black Lagoon and Tales From the Crypt!
-
Hey CONOR, glad you like the pinball machine. You have a lot of games in your uber-cool man cave. Do you have a CREATURE or TALES pinball game? I don't think i've seen either of them. I don't think i could handle two more machines. They take up far more room thank i thought. I don't have a man cave (well, unless you count the whole house). Heck, i don't even have a basement. But thanks for digging it.
JEFF, thanks for popping by. What do YOU read Playboy/Penthouse for if NOT for the articles? Hmm? Ha!
CHEERS!
-
Thanks man! Well, I built a small scale virtual pinball machine. It is not the same as original pinball, BUT you can play a bunch of different pinball tables on one cabinet. I do not have a video of mine but here is a good example
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqI778tykIY
-
Wow! That IS amazing. It does look almost real. How nifty to have all of those different games at your fingertips, too. Zowie!
-
May I ask when and how you got that machine?
-
My mother bought my brother and I each a pinball machine for Christmas back in the 90s. She got them on eBay. She got me the NIGHTMARE one and my brother got a vintage KISS game. They were about $1,500 each at the time. But wow! I just looked on ebay and saw one like mine for $5,000 and one like my brother's for $15,000. CRAZY! (There is also a CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON currently for $7,000 and a TALES FROM THE CRYPT for $5,000!)
-
Pinballs are super expensive. My friend has a Bally Embryon his father bought back in the 80s (he got a Donkey Kong Jr. for thrown in for an extra cent). My father in law gave away a Roller Coaster pin years ago. I just did not have the room......
-
You have the virtual one...and those other ones in your man cave. Don't sweat it. Your man cave is super awesome.

I've always liked the art on this UK one sheet.
Very nice, Shawn.
cheers

TED: Glad you like the British ARABIAN ADVENTURE. It's soooo different than the US poster (which looks like a page from a comic book). I don't think i have the quad yet (or do I?) which is different art yet. Thanks for popping in.
I still have almost a WEEK to go until my next post, so i thought I'd throw out an insignificant little teaser to keep you interested in my silly little thread to have you come on back around the 15th. Here it is:
DELIRIUM:
I've never seen DELIRIUM, don't think I've ever heard of it. However, to me, this poster is NOT DELIRIUM. Instead, if you've ever seen Something Weird's presentation of the never theatrically released MONSTER AT CAMP SUNSHINE, you'll recognize the poster art for DELIRIUM used for the CAMP SUNSHINE art work. (This was paired with THE BEAST THAT KILLED WOMEN on DVD---such a wild and awesome combo! Nudist camp horrors! Ha!)

Hey CONOR, glad you like the pinball machine. You have a lot of games in your uber-cool man cave. Do you have a CREATURE or TALES pinball game? I don't think i've seen either of them. I don't think i could handle two more machines. They take up far more room thank i thought. I don't have a man cave (well, unless you count the whole house). Heck, i don't even have a basement. But thanks for digging it.
JEFF, thanks for popping by. What do YOU read Playboy/Penthouse for if NOT for the articles? Hmm? Ha!
CHEERS!
It's Always for the articles and Op Ed pieces only. ;D

Hi there! Happy mid-November. Jinkies. The holidays will soon be upon us. Heck, Thanksgiving is only 9 days (?) away. And I do not want to even think about Christmas yet. Yikes!
Anyway, as usual, here are 10 new posters I recently acquired. These are about as exciting as the last bunch...in other words, they are NOT exciting at all. ho-hum. Enjoy or don't.
And JEFF, I knew you were an Op Ed kind of guy...especially where the Op Ed folds out. Ha!
And now, posters away...
CHEERS!
BODY CANDY:
Did i need this? No. Although i do like the artwork of a girl in a candy wrapper. Clever. Never saw the flick though.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Body%20Candy_zpsgrlidb1a.jpg)
CARNY GIRL:
I know it's just some old nudie poster...but I really liked/wanted CARNY GIRL. Something about it reminded me of my OLGA movie posters...albeit at a carnival. I didn't need this though...And I've seen at least two others since I got this one. Ha!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Carny%20Girl_zps5kezfc40.jpg)
FANTASIA (British quad 1982 re-release):
I totally dig this 1982 re-release of Fantasia. The demon from the NIGHT ON BALD MOUNTAIN segment is awesome. It really makes the quad for me. Fantasia was one of the earliest movies I remember seeing (at the long-gone but sooooo epic WINCHESTER DRIVE IN in San Jose.. They had like 6 or 7 screens....just amazing!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Fantasia%20Quad%20british%2082%20rerelease_zpsojc9d4eq.jpg)
S.O.S. TITANIC ( French ):
Think I missed this 70s version of the Titanic re-telling. Cool little French affiche though.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/french_small_sos_titanic_BM08068_T_zpsqyw5pxim.jpg)
THE GREAT DIAMOND ROBBERY:
I have no idea why i bought this. It was back in September during the move when I was withOUT the internet. There was an auction. I jumped on with my phone (which I hate) and bid randomly on a bunch o' stuff...like this. Hmm. The best part about it for me is the woman. She looks to me like if they made WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE when Jane Hudson was in her early 30s and trying for a comeback---instead of waiting until she was much older.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Great%20Diamond%20robbery_zpsonlzyeql.jpg)
SIREN OF BAGDAD:
Another auction item i should NEVER have bid on. It's in too rough of shape for me (now that I can see it on a larger screen besides my phone). This was from the same auction as the one above--but with rips and ...ugh. I'll re-sell this one soon.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Siren%20of%20Bagdad_zpsdsmzuzln.jpg)
A SWINGIN' SUMMER:
A BEACH PARTY knock off...withOUT Frankie & Annette. I love my BEACH PARTY movies (someone has to, right?) ---have all of the posters (of course) and a few of the other knock-offs...why not this one as well?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/A%20Swinging%20Summer_zpsny8qxv6v.jpg)
ONE SPY TOO MANY:
One of the many movies made from recycled MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. TV episodes and released to theaters. Zowie! I have a foreign one (Australian?) but I think this is my first US one sheet. I've only ever seen one episode of THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. (guest starring Sonny & Cher as a fashion designer and a model!), but I do have the series on DVD and will watch it...eventually.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/One%20spy%20too%20Many_zpsy5yy5hre.jpg)
THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY:
Ahhh...the trouble with this poster is it is also one of the ones I bid on while without internet...and should have known better. The condition is too bad for my taste. I'll be getting rid of it. Oh well...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/The%20Trouble%20With%20Harry_zpsen2bvdo4.jpg)
LOVE NEST:
Not in the best condition, but...this is my very first Marilyn Monroe one sheet (NOT counting re-releases and foreign re-releases for things like SOME LIKE IT HOT or ALL ABOUT EVE). Also bought during the same auction where I had to use my phone...although there are issues with it, I am thrilled to have it.

Nice posters as always, Shawn!

STEVE: I am glad you like the poster. I hear though that BODY CANDY leaves you with sticky fingers. Just an FYI.
TED: Glad you like the Marilyn one. It's not in too shabby of shape at all. I'm thrilled to have it. Thanks for visiting the thread.

Gobble! Gobble! Gobble! Happy Thanksgiving! (Well, it is in the USA today.) I thought I'd have post a BONUS post to share my bounty of posters and wish you all the best of Thanksgivings. I am WORKING all day (7 am to 730 pm), but that is okay as I have NO family in town any more to celebrate with. So, I'll celebrate with all of you, my poster family, in our own unique way. My offerings this time are, for the most part, pretty tepid...but there are some savory tidbits I'm sure you'll enjoy as you go down...and remember, dig in. There are NO CALORIES in this poster feast.
Forget the turkey or the pumpkin pie, pass the posters.
Okay...here you go:
NIGHT OF THE GRIZZLY:
No idea why i bothered with this. It was there...it was cheap. I've been bummed because I'm broke and just picking up inexpensive things here and there... Oh well.

THAR SHE BLOWS:
No, this is not an accidental repeat of something I posted earlier this month. It's actually a second copy I got in late September. Ooops! Stupid me. But it may be nicer than the other one. We'll see.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Thar%20She%20Blows%202_zpsy3ekgqqz.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/2016792_orig_zpsuf9fwcon.gif)
FEMALE TROUBLE(French):
Yowza! I am beyond thrilled to have this. John Waters is one of my favorite directors (well, his earlier stuff). FEMALE TROUBLE is a classic. I'll never be able to get the (ultra rare) US release one sheet...but I've seen this French poster and it looks sooo cool. But they usually go for big dollars. There was one on emovie in September that went for $140. This is NOT that one. I scored this one for less than $40 just days earlier. SOLD!!!! Yahoo!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Female%20Trouble_zpsyc269d5v.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphyrrrr_zpsfwzukgno.gif)
FATHOM:
Zowie. I may never be able to get my hands on a ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. poster with a fur bikini-clad Raquel Welch...but I was surprised to get this bikini/parachute-clad Raquel (the studio obviously trying to recall the earlier poster art to lure in movie goers) for only the opening bid price of $14.99. I saw this flick years ago...it seemed like it wanted to be a female James Bond type of movie....but remember it was a mess and a missed opportunity. Oh well....

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/tumblr_lv5ljp0bPQ1qa9vqgo1_500_zpse2gi8c0y.gif)
FLOOD:
Oh my stars! i am soooooo excited to get this poster. Yes, FLOOD is that crappy TV disaster movie made by Irwin Allen in the late 70s. So why am I excited? Because---I love my vintage disaster flicks. I had found a copy of the FIRE poster (the companion TV disaster flick made by Allen around the same time), but was always looking for a FLOOD poster. Did one exist in English? I knew both films had been released theatrically overseas (hence the posters). I had seen one for FIRE early on (and eventually got one a few years back)--but FLOOD? Hmm. For years, the closest I came was this French poster. I was happy-ish with it, but longed for a one sheet. A one sheet sized poster showed up from Lebannon...and I got it...but the title was so unusually small...and it didn't really seem like a US one sheet. Then I spotted THIS one. Finally. From Switzerland of all places. It's a US printed one sheet for international distribution. Whoo hoo. I still think it's funny/sad that we got to see this crap for free on TV...and others had to pay to be disappointed in Europe.

MAN FROM DEEP RIVER (German):
This poster for the German release of MAN FROM DEEP RIVER (aka SACRIFICE) has me wondering if Steve used to work for the German film board in some way. I can see his keen sense of design in the use of this scene to convey the film as a whole. NOT. This is the first of what would become the Italian cannibal sub-genre. Interesting choice of ad material for the poster though. Really? Breast meat anyone? Gobble! Gobble!

PSYCHO (linen):
HOLD the phones...Holy crap-a-rama. What the hell was I thinking? I was purposely NOT going to watch the Heritage Auctions last weekend when Jeff posted about the Italian CASABLANCA going for $170,000. That made me curious and I tuned in. I had placed a few bids that are sure to be outbid. I was watching this one, but had NOT bid on it. Are you crazy? I got a re-release poster earlier this year and this was nearly $1000. PASS! But then they announced that there was a change in the description, that yes it was on linen (crap---this is now my 4th linen poster. Grr. HATE linen), but that --unlike described--it had NEVER been folded. Something in my (little) brain clicked and I BID! It was $1200. EEEK! Hopefully someone else would outbid me? No one did. Holy F&%#! $1,434 with buyer's premium. This is now the most expensive poster I ever purchased. CRAP-A-RAMA DING DONG! I can NOT afford this. But....ooooo. PSYCHO! WOW!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng030/Psycho_zps5ohapbvc.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphyfghhryryr_zpsnlrdngny.gif)
NOT OF THIS EARTH (linen):
STOP the car...and HOLD the presses! Holy SH*T! What the %$#@ happened? How did I end up with THIS? It was NOT even on my watch list and suddenly I find myself bidding on it. EEEK! Now my fifth poster on linen (which I had NO IDEA about when I bid...)...and really, I didn't really want this. (It's a great poster, don't get me wrong...I just was NOT even watching this) GRR. i knew I should have stayed away. $600 (or $717 with fees) for this. UGH! There goes my debt again. GEEZ. i'm so stupid.

SCREAMING SKULL:
NOOOOOOOO! No! No! No! NOOO! I'm writing this entry after work Sunday night (11/20). I came home and discovered that a bid I had placed days ago (one of several) that I was sure would be outbid (as the others were) was NOT...and I am the proud owner of this SCREAMING SKULL poster. Oh my. While it is stunning and features a marvelous gimmick (free burial if you die of fright while watching), how the hell am I going to afford this additional $380 ($454 with fees). Oh GOD! I'm doomed... But what a snazzy poster! Oooo. Shazbot! And...WHAT THE HECK!?! Heritage is only accepting e-checks or regular checks this auction. Huh? I've always paid with Paypal before. Hmm... Time to get creative with my finances so I can cough up almost $3,000 ( $2,858.44 ) pronto. Ugh--what a nightmare (albeit with pretty posters in it).

Wow, the last three, congratulations. Each of those I'd love in my collection. thumbsup.gif
-
Im with Steve.. especially on the last 3. Congrats on the pickups, Shawn. The Female Trouble is also tres cool! What size is that poster?
I will be curious when you receive it to check, but in looking at your Psycho poster, I can see 3 horizontal folds (but no vertical fold), so I would guess this was a tri-fold poster? I see the horizontal folds (going from top to bottom and most easy to see in the blue area on the right side of the poster), going thru the name Miles, then just above the last name McIntire, and then last in the narrow white bar below the name CRANE. It continues thru the orange tinted elbows of John Gavin and continues left, into the black area.
I happened to be sitting at an angle from my monitor, and all 3 fold lines kinda jumped out at me. Does anyone else see these, too? I wonder why HA would call this an unfolded (rolled) poster (or would have revised the description). dontknow.gif
Regardless, congrats on snagging a OS for an iconic flicker. clap clap
And that Screaming Skull rocks. I've eyed that poster for a very long time. Jealous to the max.
-
Shawn WOW big spender mate - here i was tuning in to see your little gems then BANG out with the Big purchases - love the Psycho - its on my list but with the price it will stay on there for a while haha. Hope you enjoy it - one for a good quality frame and constant enjoyment or reminder of how much it cost. ;) Look forward to the next update as always
-
Holy crap have to post twice - wow weeeeee Psycho just wow - enjoy
-
Good morning all. Happy Thanksgiving.
STEVE, JEFF, and DAMO, glad you like the HA posters. I like them too...it's just the killer price that I am still in shock with. OH MY STARS! I can't afford this... I NEED to step away from posters for a while...but i know that will not happen. Oh man... But thanks for the kind word about the posters. You can see now why i just about soiled myself during and just after the auction. EEEK!
STEVE: Thanks also for the post on the New Acqs page. i knew you'd like those three exploitation posters...so, to separate them from the HA.com load, I posted them there for your enjoyment (and less distraction. Ha!).
JEFF: As I said in my little blurb about PSYCHO, the auctioneer (the female one) said there was a change in the printed description, that the poster had never been folded. At least, that is what I heard. She may have said it hadn't been folded vertically (or maybe she MEANT that and it came out "never folded"?). I don't know, but that is when my brain misfired and I somehow pushed the bid button. ARGH!
Also Jeff, the FEMALE TROUBLE poster is a smaller French, 22x16 according to the description.
And SCREAMING SKULL had long been on my wish list as well.
DAMO...a DOUBLE post. Wow! Ha! Thank you and its small steps at first---but you've been going like gangbusters already. You'll "get there' eventually and score your own PSYCHO or whatever it is you truly, truly want/need. (But then you'll be looking for something else afterwards. It NEVER ends.)
Thanks all for visiting. Have a groovy day and happy Thanksgiving.
Now to hit the showers and get to work... (Sigh.)
CHEERS!

Great posters (and hilarious gifs), Go-Go!
Years ago, I sold off a PSYCHO RR poster with the intent of later replacing it with an original release.
Bad mistake, what with the prices where they stand, but you got a good deal -- an iconic Hitchcock poster.
I remember the buzz in school the day after it made its television premiere.
Everyone was talking about it all over again.
Few films have the staying power of PSYCHO -- still chilling to this day and one of the greatest endings in cinema history.

While you are busy working today on this national holiday, take comfort in the fact that while you are not gorging on turkey with family all around, your patients are giving thanks that you are there for them. God bless you, sir!

Alll your latest stash look to be in wunderbahr shape, Shawn. You scored big time. And just in time to gobble awqy, even with you having to be at work. Congrats again!! thumbsup.gif

TED: Glad you like the PSYCHO one sheet. I'm thrilled about it as well...but the price haunts me. I'll get over it in time, right? UGH! Thanks for stopping bye and saying 'hello'.
JEFF: Zowie---back with more kind words...about all of the posters in the post. Golly, thank you. I am thankful for my posters and especially for APF. I hope your and everyone else's Thanksgiving was swell.
CHEERS!

It seems that way e very time i find one i really want another three are added to the wanted list - a never ending loop

Oh my stars! How did it get to be December already? Another year is coming to a close... Man! That went by soooo fast.
As we gear up for the holidays (eeek! I have NOT even started THINKING about them yet...), here is a look at 10 recent acquisitions. Yes, they are less than stellar. Hello? If you saw my last post, you'll know how much $$ I spent recently...and how much I can NOT afford right now. OUCH! Anyway, here are this posting's mediocre posters.
HAIRSPRAY (French small affiche):
Different style of the John Waters hit movie's poster. And cheap... (which is a key factor right now).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/french_small_hairspray_BM08065_T_zpsuk43ttje.jpg)
DEATH DRIVER:
Here's yet another poster I should have passed up. DEATH DRIVER? Who ever heard of that? I hadn't...but this was a movie by Earl Owensby. I have been collecting Owensby's string of low-budget, regional 3D titles from the 80's. This is NOT one...but it was only $4 or $5. Eh.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng003/death_driver_intl_SD07100_L_zpskgkstt0k.jpg)
GIDGET GOES TO ROME:
Being a fan of the Frankie & Annette Beach Party movies, getting a GIDGET poster was inevitable. No, they are not the same series, but they sort of have the same spirit---especially the first GIDGET movie (the success of which may have inspired the BEACH PARTY series). This is my first GIDGET poster. I know--snore. But I dig it. And so does Moondoggy.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng003/gidget_goes_to_rome_SD07090_L_zps0lngsn1w.jpg)
HELLRAISER: DEADER:
I could swear I just got one of these not too long back---but i do not see any record of it. No big deal. YES, this IS a video poster--not a one sheet. There was no one sheet for this as it never got a theatrical release. This is a case of if you want a poster you'll have to settle for a video release poster. It's your only option. This is one of the dreadful direct-to-video sequels, but I figured that I already have the posters for the first four films, I might as collect the rest of them. Whatever... (It was only $4).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng007/hellraiser_deader_video_SD07219_L_zpspsocnyid.jpg)
HERCULES:
I already have the poster for this 80s HERCULES remake starring Lou Ferrigno. It was part of a lot with another poster i wanted.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng005/Hercules%20Ferigno_zpslqnfjecd.jpg)
STARCRASH:
This wacky STAR WARS-inspired space epic is sooooo cheesy. Ha! I already have a copy (or two or three) of this poster. Like the HERCULES poster above, it was part of a lot with another poster I wanted.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng005/Star%20Crash_zps7qov4rhj.jpg)
ALIEN CONTAMINATION:
This ALIEN rip-off is hard to find. I had been looking for one forever. I found this one and was the ONLY bidder, so i got it cheap (along with the other two posters --HERCULES and STARCRASH--above). Only $14.99. Yahoo. Have I even seen this movie? Zowie! I don't even know...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng005/Alien%20Contamination_zps9tv32mxd.jpg)
SNAKE BUSTERS:
Where you gonna crawl? Snake Busters...uh huh. I get it. The obvious "Ghostbusters" riff. Hmm. The 80s release appears to be of a 70s Asian flick involving snakes. Also knows as SNAKE QUEEN, it was just different/silly enough to snag. Never seen one before. Sssssss...
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/snake_busters_dupe1_JC12772_T_zpsf7fo8fdr.jpg)
KILLER SNAKES:
Speaking of snakes, based on the credits (and not the poster art), this looks like another Asian import...but it's rather curious. A killer snake movie that is X rated?! Zowie! There must be more than one kind of "snake in the grass" in this one! Ha! And of course I love the blurb in the warning box: "WARNING: Extreme fear of snakes (ophidiophia) can cause severe shock! IF YOU FEAR SNAKES: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SEE THIS MOVIE. We CANNOT be responsible for what might happen."
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/killer_snakes_SD06465_T_zpsaw0ccqav.jpg)
AWAKENING OF THE BEAST (Brazilian):
Oh my stars! Another thing I could not afford, but was not about to let slip through my fingers... This is another of the early COFFIN JOE movies from Brazil circa the early 70s. The Coffin Joe character is featured on the left, in the top hat, clutching the girl. This means NOTHING to any of you---but I am a fan and I am beyond excited! While not as iconic as the original Coffin Joe flicks (AT MIDNIGHT I'LL TAKE YOUR SOUL and THIS NIGHT I'LL POSSESS YOUR CORPSE), but still a Coffin Joe flick. Yowza! I was the ONLY bidder. Yahoo!

Killer Snakes is a terrific SHAW BROS film, all their films are good but this is great!
Poster art has little (nothing) to do with the film really, haha. GREAT! (thats exploitation)

Nice Ze do Caixao. I am trying not to expand to Brasilian Horror, but some of Coffin's posters are hard to resist.

Great pick up on the Psycho one sheet Shawn. I still haven't got me a Hitchcock one sheet :o
Congrats thumbsup.gif

Hi all. Thanks for stopping by.
ARI: You convinced me about KILLER SNAKES. I went ahead and ordered a USED copy from Amazon. Thank for the heads up. ;)
MATIAS: I have one more vintage Ze do Caixao / Coffin Joe poster I'll be posting soon-ish. I'm so thrilled they've recently started to pop up. Thanks for recognizing how special the poster is.
MARC: Finish your Gene Tierny collection first...and then expand your horizons. Ha!
CHEERS!
-
ah great, once you see a few Shaw Bros, be warned THEY ARE ADDICTIVE.
-
Holy schmokes... I need to pop in here more often....
Congrats on all of your stellar schlock that we're all use to and love, but an OG Psycho, Screaming Skull, and Not of this Earth!?! notworthy.gif
Did you sell a kidney? I need to seriously step up my game.
-
ARI: i'll let you know what i think when the movie gets here (and I get around to watching it...).
CHRIS: No, I didn't sell a kidney...but that's a GREAT idea to finance future poster buys! Glad you like some of my new stuff. THANKS for popping in.'
Always a pleasure to see both of you here.
CHEERS!

Hi there. Happy holidays. It's time for a mini-bonus. From now until the 23rd, I'll be having a special 12 Days of Christmas advent calendar, with a new purchase shown every day until we get to Christmas Eve Eve (or whatever you'd call the 23rd). I'll have a special bonus post on Christmas Eve...and one on Christmas Day as well. I'll also have my usual post on the 15th in addition to one of these mini-bonus posts. These mini-posts are nothing special...but I just wanted to do something for the holidays.
Here is Day 1's post:
MORTUARY:
Another flick I have surprisingly NOT seen. I remember when this came out. I intended to see it. It's never happened. (Yet.) There were several similarly titled films at the same time...In addition to this, there was FUNERAL HOME, MAUSOLEUM, and THE HEARSE (which was the only one I have seen). This one stars one of "The Waltons" girls...I think the character's name was Erin? The middle girl...if you even know the show. Simple but effective artwork.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Liking that Mortuary, Go-Go.
Well done.
cheers
-
Stoked for your lead-in to Christmas... excited to see what's in store.
That Mortuary hand looks suspiciously similar to the Evil Dead 'hand' OS.
-
Oh my! It's already tomorrow, APF time...
Zowie, TED. Thanks for stopping by. I didn't think any of the posters I'm using for this little advent calendar would interest anyone all that much...which is why I am using them here instead of in a regular post. But I'm glad you like the MORTUARY poster. I do too actually (otherwise i guess i wouldn't have bought it, right?). CHEERS!
CHRIS, there are some nice posters coming up...but not all of them by far. I just thought I'd do a little count down to Christmas...it's not really leading up to anything spectacular other than the holiday itself. As for the hand, yes i see the EVIL DEAD resemblance. But when I first saw it, I thought it looked like the hand in the GREAT WHITE advance one sheet. Hmm.
And now, it's the 12 Days of Xmas advent calendar day #2:
LA PRINCESSA HIPPIE (Mexican):
Ha! This makes me laugh. This is a Mexican poster for something called LA PRINCESSA HIPPIE (which translates, of course, into THE HIPPY PRINCESS). Apparently this is Mexican cinema's attempt to get groovy--a la American-style. The two dudes in the lower left corner are my faves. There's one beatnik-looking dude with cool shades and a Salvador Dali mustache. The other guy is a preppy-looking hipster hippy with wild-print top and de rigueur gold chain. Groovy, baby! I dig it in a far out way. This swingin' little movie is probably an unintentional laugh riot. I'd LOVE to see it. Peace out.

I see your top bidder on the Nude on the moon = budget blown. Nice looking poster i am keen on the E.T but at currently $825 i don't think i can do it but you never know, i set an $800 limit based on previous sales so i should stick to that and hopefully grab one another time. Best of luck the the nude - see it in latest buys shortly
-
DAMO: Hi. Thanks for stopping in. About that NUDES ON THE MOON. UGH! That is my dumbest bid ever yet. WHY? Because i already have one. What the heck was my brain thinking? UGH! When i bought my other one about a year or so ago from Heritage, it became one of the most expensive posters i ever bought. This one came up and I think I was trying to balance out the cost of the one I got already with a 2nd copy...which is totally dumb. I'm hoping to be outbid (does anyone out there have $701 they don't need? Ha!)...but with my luck, I'll be stuck with it. DANG! I'm so STUPID.
As for your E.T., stick to your budget. Wait. There will be other copies. The current auctions on eMovie are drawing a lot of attention because it's one of their "signature auctions". More attention = bigger prices (usually). One will show up again during a less prominent auction or on another auction site. That's my advice...but even with that, i don't always follow the sensible thing to do--case in point, the other NUDES ON THE MOON which will probably end up being mine. Ha! Good luck to you.
-
Its up to a $1,000 now so i will leave alone - the movie is special to me as it was the first movie i saw "at the movies" i was 4 and still remember the one and a half hour drive from the country to get to the cinema. Its the only time my mother ever took me to the movies when i was a child. So because of that i really want one - it would be a framing job for sure - but one thing i have learned is that another one always comes along…sometime.
Best of luck with the nude - its a win win if you miss out you have one if you dont you have paid a good price
Cheers
-
DAMO: This will post after the auction closed...so i have no idea if you went for the ET poster or not (as I do not know your buyer ID name). If you got it--congrats! If not, there ARE other copies out there (although, from what I read, this is a rarer version. But I have tracked down some pretty rare things myself. You WILL find another if you didn't get this one). You have my congratulations or sympathy, however your place in the bidding played out ($1300).
As for the NUDE ON THE MOON poster, UGH! They bid right up to my top bid ($700), but not a penny over...so now i have to cough up another $700 for something I do not want/need (as i already have one). Stupid, Stupid, STUPID me. Oh well. No sense holding it back.
And so, here is the 12 Days of Xmas advent calendar day #3:
NUDE ON THE MOON:
Well, as discussed above, this just became mine only hours ago. Waaaagh. Don't get me wrong--it's a great poster...but also a very expensive duplicate i did not need. Hmm.. Forgive the watermarked version. There was not time to wait for the clean version to be sent my way.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng037/nude_on_the_moon_SD07682_L_zpsjzolqhha.jpg)
Okay. I just mailed off my first 50 Christmas cards today and still have about 20 left to go. Gotta get busy...
CHEERS!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Christmas/ShowLetter.jpg)
-
Overtime to pay for the Nude - amazing poster really nice. I was going to have a go at $1,000 but $1,300 was just too high in comparison with other recently sold titles so i didn't bid in the end - actually i ended up with nothing this time around.
-
I gotta say, the more of these cool posters of yours I see, the more I'm tempted to dip my toe in the water. Then you remind me of what you're spending, and the water gets a little chilly. But I still have a lot of fun strolling through your thread. And you still make me feel much better about spending 1/10th the coin on my meager lobby sets. 'Cause it's really cold outside here, and I'm pretty sure the homeless shelters are full.
-
DAMO: Do NOT feel bad about walking away from this auction with nothing. There wasn't that much available in that auction (something like 6 or 8 pages worth of items over the regular 25) and, as i said earlier, it was a signature auction with a LOT of attention on it. Wait for another ET. Besides, it was only in "good to very good" condition. There might have been flaws you'd be unhappy with. Another will come along. And you never know...another auction may come along that will have something even better you want...and you'll have saved the money to get it. (Unlike me... UGH!) As for working overtime to pay for NUDE ON THE MOON...ugh. I just picked up another 12 hour shift and that won't pay for it. Waaagh. I may have to pick up on Friday as well...but then I work Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. That would be 5 12-hour shifts in a row...60 hours. EEK! But I may have to do it...
DR. BILL: I personally LOVE posters and only have a few lobby cards. I love their size and some of the amazing artwork. If you do decide to slip your toes into the poster thang, do NOT be discouraged by the high prices of some of mine (and others) posters. There are many cool ones out there for far less than you'd think. You can still get posters for under $10. The very first framed poster I hung on my walls as an adult was for REVENGE OF THE SHOGUN WOMEN--some forgotten 3D martial arts film from the late 70s/early 80s with a wild poster. I love that poster and you can still find it cheap, cheap, CHEAP! It's all in what YOU like, really. There is no right or wrong to collecting (unless you do dumb things--like spend $700 for a poster you already have OR the dumb thing I did below. ARGH!). YOU are the ultimate judge of what you like, what you think is cool, and what you don't care for--regardless of what others say. My posters are mostly trash--but I dig 'em, baby! Thanks for stopping by.
And now, the 12 Days of Xmas advent calendar day #4:
SAVAGE ISLAND:
This was a recent pickup from our friend Rich's auction (as you may notice the watermark for his site). What an awful movie this is--and brilliant at the same time (in an awful way). IMDB sums it up succinctly and best: This "new movie" was cobbled together from scenes of both Hotel Paradise (1980) and Escape from Hell (1980) with 10 minutes of new additional footage featuring Linda Blair. The result was an incoherent movie.
Ha! Still Linda, who's not really in the movie, gets star billing AND the poster---and she is in the movie ever so fleetingly. That's exploitation!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Savage%20Island_zpsbx00wgdc.jpg)
And here is an EXTRA BONUS poster...(i.e. my screw up for today).
GODZILLA FILM FESTIVAL (bogus? British quad)
Just hours ago, I "won" this poster with a snipe bid I placed several days ago before work one morning. I noted the condition--but that's really all i had time to read. Cut to my email saying I had won this. I clicked on it to pay and finally read the description: "GODZILLA FILM FESTIVAL 1982 -- ORIG SINGLE SIDED BRITISH QUAD ( 30"X40") MOVIE POSTER. POSTER WAS ACQUIRED FROM A CANADIAN COLLECTOR THAT IS RETIRING FROM THE HOBBY .SHE INFORMED ME THAT THIS POSTER WAS PRODUCED BY MIRACLE FILMS ( A UK DISTRIBUTOR FOR GODZILLA AND OTHER FILMS IN THIS TIME PERIOD) . THIS WAS SHORTLY BEFORE MIRACLE FILMS WENT OUT OF BUSINESS AND HAD INTENDED TO PUT ON A GODZILLA FILM FESTIVAL BUT DUE TO FINANCIAL PROBLEMS IT NEVER REACHED FRUITION . POSTER WAS RECALLED AND NEVER USED . THIS POSTER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH LIGHT FOLDS AS ORIGINALLY ISSUED .THIS POSTER IS NOT REPRO OR REPRINT , THIS IS AN ORIGINAL THEATRICAL MOVIE POSTER PRINTED BY THE STUDIOS" Uh-oh...just days earlier I had seen a cool Ilsa poster announcing a similar Ilsa Film Festival with the 4 Ilsa films featured on the poster. That one I did not bid on because I noticed who the seller was right away... Anyone want to guess? Mr. bad News himself, tloceposters. As much as I wanted the Ilsa one sheet, I figured it was a fake. This similarly sounding quad sent alarm bells through my head...but obviously too late. The seller? tloceposters. DANG IT ALL. Grrrr...

Today is also the 15th. If I have not already posted my usual mid-month post, it will be coming up shortly. CHEERS!

Yikes! 2016 is winding down super quick...and Christmas will be here before you know it. I'M NOT ready yet. What i AM ready for though, is my usual middle-o'-the-month posting. Not a lot of choice items this time. I'm still reeling from my Heritage auction hits AND my loss of disposable income from moving back into my house. But...whatever. It is what it is. (Well, there are two nearly last minute additions you may be surprised to see...) Here are the new posters:
MOMMIE DEAREST:
Nothing says happy holidays like a MOMMIE DEAREST poster. This is actually a replacement for a framed print (EEEK!) a friend gave me a few years ago. Mold grew on the poster and the glass---so i just threw it away. I got this version to HOPEFULLY fool my friend into thinking I still have the poster. I can not believe I didn't already have a copy of this camp classic that ruined Faye Dunaway's career (in her mind. If she would only embrace the film and get over being embarrassed about it, life could go on...). No more wire hangers EVER! Ah, child abuse of the rich and famous.... Ho ho ho!

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2074_zpsbjyjeukp.gif)
BLAIR WITCH:
I don't really know why I wasted $5 on this...other than it was only $5. I was curious about the sequel/reboot...but not curious enough to actually go and see it. Yes, it left the theaters before i could see it. Oh well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng013/Blair%20Witch_zpsaar5grth.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/tumblr_mfhuttzqjq1qi1gl0o1_500_zpsxb8wgul7.gif)
THE HANDS OF ORLAC:
What is this? Looks like a horror flick. For a bit, i thought it was somehow a Dr. Orloff sequel I had missed. Oops...Orloff/Orloc... Doesn't seem to be. Hmm.Any good? Poster was cheap.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng014/Hands%20of%20Orlac_zps7pekpb4n.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2025_zpsdo8d7ags.gif)
NIGHT CREATURES:
Something else film-wise that I am unfamiliar with (although I've seen this poster several times). This has a few issues (seam tear on the right, tear by the H in NIGHT, etc. but it doesn't seem too bad. I've been looking for bargains lately since I'm so broke. But is the movie any good?

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2097_zpsm1igheby.gif)
NIGHT CREATURES:
NO--you are NOT seeing double and I did NOT double post the same auction. This is an upgrade I scored about a week after getting the other copy. Ha!

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2017_zpsjwrkbrqy.gif)
LA VENGANZA DEL DOCTOR MABUSE (Spanish one sheet):
I had one of these before---and THINK i have another tucked away somewhere. (But am not sure...) When I posted ithe previous one on my thread, Rosa really liked this poster. It was by the artist Jano (one of her faves) and in the upper left corner it said it was from "Rosa Films". So, I sent that copy to her. When i saw this one--just to be sure I have one (I may have imagined i got another one before--who knows?), i bought it as well. Great condition and the art is striking, i think. No wait a minute...it was a DIFFERENT poster I sent Rosa. LOS OJOS DE ORLOFF or something like that (also by Jano). Ha. OOPS!

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/slide_329952_3238539_free_zps25tyx8ta.gif)
BEAST OF PARADISE ISLE and CREATURES OF THE JUNGLE (re-release combo):
Zowie! I have long wanted one of these. Cheesy 1957 double feature for movies I've never heard of? Wow! For years as I'd see this poster come up and then slip through my fingers, I could have sworn BEAST FROM PARADISE ISLE must have been a re-titling of Roger Corman's ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTER. The crab on the poster certainly resembles the Corman version of the monster. But now that it's mine and I've had a chance to study it--ha! I find it's NOT a Corman re-title, but some turd called PORT SINISTER and CREATURES OF THE JUNGLE is really some snoozefest called THE WHITE ORCHID. Ha! low-budget exploiter Albert Zugsmith was one of the producers. He was the man behind such groovy turds as MOVIE STAR AMERICAN-STYLE OR LSD I HATE YOU (and I LOVE that poster) and SEX KITTENS GO TO COLLEGE (with Mamie Van Doren, Tuesday Weld and Brigitte Bardot's sister, Mijanou). As trashy as Zugsmith's movies were over all, he also produced classics such as THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN and Orson Well's TOUCH OF EVIL.

TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA:
This is the 2nd of the Hammer Christopher Lee DRACULA first release US one sheets that I have. (The other being COUNT DRACULA AND HIS VAMPIRE BRIDE...which EVERYONE has). At one time I DID have DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE, but I sold that off years ago (stupid me). Coming to the Hammer Dracula poster collection game this late in the game is going to make it hard to track them all down...but this makes it one less left to go.

FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS (style B):
Oh my stars... When I went to work last Sunday, I never expected to come home and find I'd won this. YOWZA!!! The elusive style B of FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS! YaHOOO! I want to thank TED for posting his a long while back on my thread. I had NEVER seen it before and was stunned. It was gorgeous and it instantly made my MUST HAVE list. Cross it off the list now. Yahoooo!

THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US:
Oh my stars! I can't believe I got this. (Neither can my bank account.) There were SO MANY wonderful things in the recent eMovie major auction. There were more things I desperately wanted than in the last Heritage Auction (but then, i prefer eMovie any way). This auction was just exceptional though. I thought to myself---just GO for it. i bid on several things I had no chance of winning. The one i wanted the most, LIFEBOAT, went for more than $2000. This one, my 2nd choice, thankfully stayed under $1,000...but not by much. Ouch! At least i FINALLY have myself an original poster for one of the CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON films, albeit the third and final one...but it's a start. And, ha! As a lover of gimmicks, it's ironic that I get the poster for the only one in the series that was NOT in 3D. Figures...

And yikes! There are only 9 shopping days left until Christmas. Stop looking at my silly poster thread and GET OUT THERE! By the way, I posted this elsewhere, but if you--whoever you are--would like a simple Christmas card from me, just PM me your address. I'll send a card your way. REALLY!
Happy holidays!

NIGHT CREATURES, yeah its good, not great, not a horror film, though USA tried to market it as one.
But worth checking out if you (like me) love Hammer films.
oh its REALLY called CAPTAIN CLEGG :)
-
ARI: I have a set of Hammer flicks---I think there are 8 films in it. I've just started watching it. I've seen BRIDES OF DRACULA, PARANOIAC, and CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF so far. NIGHT CREATURES is part of the set, so I'll get to it very soon. I'll let you know what I think. THANKS!
-
PARANOIAC is my fave of that lot, TERRIFIC film.
I think Hammer made better thrillers than horror (!)
-
Congratulations, especially on The Creature and Mommie Dearest

FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS (style B):
Oh my stars... When I went to work last Sunday, I never expected to come home and find I'd won this. YOWZA!!! The elusive style B of FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS! YaHOOO! I want to thank
TED for posting his a long while back on my thread. I had NEVER seen it before and was stunned. It was gorgeous and it instantly made my MUST HAVE list. Cross it off the list now. Yahoooo!

Still one of my favorite movie posters of all time. Bought mine back in the day for $7.50. A few years later I was offered $150 but turned it down because there didn't seem to be any around. Glad you got one Shawn! It's a bonafide classic!
Love all your posters this month. That 'Creature Walks Among Us' sure does kick ass.
-
ARI: I might agree with you on that. Great atmosphere, costumes, and sets in all of their productions though.
STEVE: I know you've been coveting a MOMMIE DEAREST for some time now. Some day your dreams will come true. Ha! As for THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US, thanks for the congrats.
TED: Thank you again for introducing me to the FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS poster. It is a classic. Zowie, am i ever lucky I got one. Glad you also like the CREATURE poster. Yippie on that one in a big way.
Okay, here's the 12 Days of Xmas advent calendar day #5:
AMIN: THE RISE AND FALL:
Oh my stars! This is one sleazy exploitation gem of the lowest taste. The rise and fall of Uganda's evil dictator is shown in this rare, grindhouse clasSICK. The rumors of Amin's cannibalization of some of his victims are totally alluded to as he keeps body parts in his fridge in this schlockfest. Paper on this is super hard to come by, but when i saw this--i SNATCHED it up quick. Utter trash as only those of the bygone 42nd Street cinema world would appreciate.

12 Days of Xmas advent calendar day #6:
PINK NARCISSUS (French? Canadian?):
I don't know what this movie is...or if this a French or Canadian poster. But I liked the stylized photography of the Pan-like character and the muted, but colorful back/foreground. I'm guessing this is some sort of foreign kid fantasy flick? ...it doesn't seem like a kiddie matinee poster though. I don't get what the title is referring to exactly either. Maybe it's a riff on the old movie BLACK NARCISSUS? I have no idea...but maybe that's why I never heard of it. But it was interesting. And CHEAP.

12 Days of Xmas advent calendar day #7:
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (90s re-release British quad):
Let's do the Time Warp again! Yes this quad has a few issues, but I really liked the style. It is the same art that was used, if I'm not mistaken, on the soundtrack album (i.e vinyl record) for the film that I had as a teen. It was a fun movie and I remember those midnight shows. Fun times.

12 Days of Xmas advent calendar day #8:
ROCKY and ROCKY II (re-release combo):
Once again, something I didn't really need. I'm no ROCKY fan. I think I've seen 2 or 3 of them, but they didn't do it for me. However i got this poster as a sort of a replacement for one I bought with the sole intention of gifting a co-worker with back at the newspaper many years ago. I actually gave her two framed posters---this one and a Rambo: First Blood Part 2. I think I now have a Rambo 2 again...and now this combo. Why i felt I "needed" to get posters to replace those i do not know... Ha!

MASSACRE AT CENTRAL HIGH (German):
I've never seen this movie, but I dug this German poster for it---and it was uber-cheap. Is this worth my time to watch? Hmm...

poster is PROBABLY a little better than the film, but sheesh who am I to judge? it is worth a go.
-
Hi ARI. Nice of you to visit---and offer your opinion of the movie. If the poster is probably better than the film, then I'm in no rush to see it. I've got other movies to watch first...and I don't even have that flick right now, I don't think. Thanks.
12 Days of Xmas advent calendar day #10:
SCREAM (British quad):
I didn't really need this either, but it was cheap -- and different than the US one sheet for the film. I like how the characters are in the letters of the title. Nice.

12 Days of Xmas advent calendar day #11:
WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR:
I have never really seen many movies with Sal Mineo. Believe it or not, I've never even seen REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE yet. (I can hear your jaws dropping in disbelief.) The only things i have seen him in are KRAKATOA: EAST OF JAVA (a forgettable film) and in one of the PLANET OF THE APES films in ape guise (but which ape, i don't recall). I've heard of this flick, but never saw it. The poster appeared, was super cheap...and i bought it.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Who%20Killed%20Teddy%20Bear_zps1tr87iqy.jpg)
By the way, funny story about this and a few other posters I've been putting up during this advent calendar. The box of lots from this one kind of big (but ultimately very small) auction arrived last night. In the box, there were flat/folded posters as well as a few tubes. When i took the tubes out to inspect them, i could see that they had been used. But then, for a brief moment, my mind could NOT quite understand what it was seeing. On all four of the tubes that were in the box I saw that they were sent to a person I KNOW somewhat on the East Coast...who i had just sent a Christmas card to that day. Ha! I had bought some of his crap. Too funny. (But not for him...there were very few bidders. I got most of the stuff for the minimum bids... Ouch!)

More awesome updates, buddy! Love'em all but The Night Creatures & The Fearless Vampire Killers are standouts for me. Nice work!

Haven't seen this design before.
Nice one, Shawn!

CHRIS: Thank you for the note and for visiting. I am glad there were a couple of posters that appealed to you.
TED: I hadn't seen that style either. Thanks for stopping by as well.
12 Days of Xmas advent calendar day #12:
Yikes--tomorrow is Christmas Eve...and I am soooo NOT READY for the holidays yet. @$#%&! Oh well, here is the last of the advent posters. Tomorrow I'll be back with a full BONUS post of new stuff for Christmas Eve followed by another special bonus post for Christmas! Zowie!
ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK(Studio style):
I wasn't going to post any of my really "good" posters in this little advent calendar thing...but I thought I'd go ahead and share this one as this is the last day. Golly! An ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK...at LAST! Classic poster art. Santa has been very good to me this year...all year long!

Love that Escape from New York, Shawn.
Classic!
cheers

Love that Scream Quad, Shawn. It's on my wantlist but haven't seen one yet.
Escape from New York is an absolute classic well done on scoring one.

TED: Thanks for the visit. I am pretty excited about the ESCAPE poster...but now the whole NSS vs Studio Style war is going on in my head. I know JEFF has a studio style also and was debating the NSS vs Studio thing as well (saw that conversation on here somewhere). I got this from eMovie...but, hmm. Maybe I should go for a studio one or is this okay?
SIMON: Always a pleasure having the new folks drop by, too. Glad you like some of my newer stuff. Looking forward to watching your own collection grow. Cheers!
Anyway, here's my post:.
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through APF, not much was going on... I guess that is as it should be.
But here's a Christmas Eve BONUS post. Enjoy or don't:
OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY (British Quad):
I thought I should have at least one semi-Christmas-y poster on the Christmas Eve post, so i quickly bid on/won this for the equivalent of $1.24 (too funny) (plus postage). I don't know anything about this flick, other than it is playing right now. Good? Bad? I have no idea...but ho ho ho!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Office%20Christmas%20Party%20British%20Quad_zps5s9co5t8.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Christmas/phylissdillerks5cs1.jpg)
BASKET CASE (Australian Daybill):
I don't know why more people don't remember the original BASKET CASE more fondly. What a wonderful piece of bizarre-o psychotronica! I have a one sheet or two for it, but have always dug on this Australian daybill...and so, voila! Here's a copy for me. If you've never seen this--SEE IT! (Skip the awful snore-inducing sequels, but check the freakazoid-a-go-go original flick out! It's wild! I remember sneaking out of the house to see a midnight showing of this while in high school. Ha! These little low-budget gems just don't exist any more.)

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Christmas/ANIstocking02C-1.gif)
Andy Warhol's FLESH (German):
Oh joy...this is mine. I'd love to have more Andy Warhol movie posters for US releases, but for some reason, most go crazy high. Here is a German release for FLESH. There is a plastic bag on the poster which makes the poster look wrinkled/saggy. I also won the German poster for Andy Warhol's HEAT (called HOLLYWOOD in Germany) at the same time. The poster featured a topless Sylvia Miles and a peek at Joe Dallesandro's pubes. However, when the seller was removing it from wherever he had it stored, it ripped. Waaaagh! Oh well. At least I got FLESH.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Flesh%20German_zpsa0gt1nak.jpg)
Hmm... Photobucket banned the picture. I found it online here:

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Christmas/40mn8.png)
WAYNE'S WORLD:
This was not too expensive and I thought I'd get it (do i already have one? Hmm...) as WAYNE'S WORLD is kind of an early 90s iconic bit o' pop culture. Party on. Excellent!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/waynes_world_SD07672_L_zpswyumdfma.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Divine%20swats%20Santa_zpseep8m1au.jpg)
HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN:
I THOUGHT I had a copy of this poster (and I may still have one somewhere). However, when i was going through my boxes (only got half way through), I came across a small copy--11x17 or something like that. Is THAT the full-sized poster I thought I had? Hmm. Anyway, glad to have this based-on-a-GRINDHOUSE-trailer movie poster for the feature film. The film was fun, too...kind of like how the first MACHETE was.

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Christmas/liberace.jpg)
WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S:
Like the WAYNE'S WORLD poster was to the early 90s, WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S is a quasi-iconic film from the late 80s. Getting the poster wouldn't hurt.

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Christmas/Color-Xmas2.jpg)
SWAMP THING:
This is something I picked up at eMovie's Black Friday sale. I was never a SWAMP THING fan, but I see this poster selling for $$$ a lot. So, while it was cheap, i got one for myself. Thanks eMovie.

TARZAN'S SECRET JUNGLE (linen):
This is one of the Gordon Scott (Talking Tarzan #3 after Johnny Weissmuller and Lex Barker) TARZAN posters i did NOT have yet. (I think.) This was the FIRST of the Scott Tarzans and starred his future wife (and future ex-wife), Vera ("Psycho") Miles. On linen unfortunately...but i had to try for it any way as i love my Tarzan movies. I bid on so many and when i came home, I found I only scored two: this one and the one below.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng036/tarzans_hidden_jungle_linen_SD07808_T_zpsd1qb4qwj.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Christmas/gift9-1.gif)
TARZAN TRIUMPHS and TARZAN'S DESERT MYSTERY (linen re-release combo):
This poster was accompanied by this blurb in the eMovie auction: "Important Added Info: Note that we have never seen this poster before! Each of these movies have 1949 re-release movie paper (mostly lobby cards), but both of those re-releases have different NSS numbers than this one-sheet. Therefore, we strongly suspect that theaters in 1949 were given the option to either show one of the movies or both, and that they created re-release movie paper for each individual re-release, as well as for the double-bill release, and it is possible that only a one-sheet was created for theaters that wanted to show the double-bill. You would not expect that this would be one of the most rare Tarzan one-sheets there is, but we suspect that few, if any, theaters ordered this poster, which would account for why it is so rare, and why have never auctioned it before!" Zowie! Even though it was a re-release/combo for some of the last of the Weissmuller TARZANs (the Sol Lesser years... and they were "lesser" movies...)--and this is my 2nd poster with Weissmuller as Tarzan, I really wanted this one (over some of the other choice Tarzan posters offered) due to its rarity. It's no secret TARZAN is one of my favorite series...and I'm thrilled to get this. Even though it's on linen (Blah!)

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Christmas/christmas_funny_pictures_09123380.jpg)
X: THE MAN WITH X-RAY EYES:
Wow! Wow! Wow!!! I have long wanted this poster and it has always been just beyond my grasp. This time, I just went for it...and it was mine. I spent far more than i wanted...and had no business doing so...but...

That's it for this posting. Now, if you are reading this early in the day, remember to make it an early night. And if you are reading this late today....eeek! Get to bed quick! Santa is on his way and he expects to find you asleep with visions of movie posters dancing thru your head. Then you'll wake up in the morning and find that he has left you that amazing (fill in the blank) poster you ALWAYS wanted. (That is, if you were good. If you were naughty, you get ZILCH once again. Ha!)
Have a super groovy cha-cha-cha Christmas!
Ho ho ho!
CHEERS!

The Swamp Thing... Liking the art work / attention to detail
Hi STEVE. Merry Christmas to you as well. After I read your comment, I took another look at the SWAMP THING poster. I know which "details" you were paying "attention" to. Ha! May you have the breast Christmas ever.
ARI: If anyone out there enjoyed BASKET CASE, I KNEW it would be you. Awesome taste, pal...and what a great first Beta tape memory! Ha!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2072_zpszvmldeie.gif)
Happy ho-ho-holidays! I hope Santa was extra-special nice to you and brought you all of the exciting posters you've been dreaming of all year long. Here are a few goodies I unwrapped...
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/jack-skellington_zpslrtqb7f2.gif)
DEATHSTALKER II:
Since the posters are kind of like Hercules posters, I decided to track down the 4 DEATHSTALKER posters (1-4). Only the first movie was actually released in theaters. The sequels were direct to video...or so I thought. I got a DEATHSTALKER II video release poster...and then stumbled on this one. A theatrical release? SOLD! Never seen any of the movies either...they probably suck.

BEACH GIRLS AND THE MONSTER:
Call it a bash! Call it a ball! Call it a blast! Call it an oops, i really didn't need a 2nd copy! I like this poster--a lot. I somehow found myself bidding on it--even though I already have one...and now I have two. Ouch! Wish i had saved the $$$.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2012_zpswrpdslzg.gif)
ZOMBIETHON:
Speaking of direct to video, this is an old VHS era poster for Wizard Video's zombie flick "best of" compilation video, utilizing scenes from things like ZOMBIE, ZOMBIE LAKE, OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES, etc. Just seeing the movies by themselves is better...but I have always dug this poster. SCORE!

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2071_zpsu7elgl7i.gif)
BAD SANTA:
Ho-Ho-Ho... Yes, Santa is hanging out with three skeezy 'ho"s and is in a drunken stupor once again. Such is the basic premise of BAD SANTA (minus the "ho"s maybe). Not the best Christmas movie--or even a classic. BUT...it inspired a sequel (REALLY?--yep. See below...) and a Christmas posting has to have some sort of Christmas poster...right?

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2070_zps9xduko37.gif)
BAD SANTA 2:
Hmm. This was cheap and, of the two designs I've seen, this one is the preferred (over a close up of Billy Bob passed out on a bar). Ho ho ho-hum... We'll see if the movie is any good or not (and how many years has it been since the first one?)...however, i think it came and left already and FLOPPED. Ha!

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2068_zpsye3avxqf.gif)
THE 27TH DAY:
I know nothing about this movie...just have long loved the poster...which always has gone high and escaped my grasp. Cool poster. Is the flick any good?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng019/27th_day_BM08915_T_zpswaz8la9h.jpg)

THE LEECH WOMAN:
No, this is NOT the story of your ex-wife. I never saw this flick, but have coveted the poster for a while. It's always slipped out of my hands...until NOW.

BRIDES OF BLOOD:
FINALLY! After years of searching and trying to get one, i finally have the poster for the first film in the BLOOD ISLAND series. I have MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND and BEAST OF BLOOD and various other BLOOD titles that Hemisphere Pictures tried to pass off as sequels or related films (HORROR OF THE BLOOD MONSTERS, BRAIN OF BLOOD, etc.). The poster art is poorly done--but screams out exploitation gem! Zowie! I'm thrilled with this. (Although i paid far more than i should have...)

THE HOUSE OF USHER:
Ooooo, I am digging this. Classic Vincent Price in the best of the AIP Edgar Allan Poe adaptations. Doesn't the poster art, with it's white tunnel leading down from the surface, look like it inspired the poster art for 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE? Whatever---I am thrilled with this.

Shawn... did you strike oil man? You've been hitting on some killer paper here lately... B.C., Brides of Blood, Beach Girls, 27th Day, and Leech Woman!!!!!!!
Loving them all!

TED: I hope you had a super duper Christmas-A-Go-Go as well. Oooooo i am SO excited about the BC poster. YOU, once again, reinforced the drive in me to get one with your tale of it being your first acq and how you later scored a replacement (super cheap--lucky dog!). I worked the 24th, 25th, and 26th (long, 12 hour shifts), but I did have a nice Christmas. Thanks!~
CHRIS: Me? Strike oil? NO...but I could be near to bankruptcy. Ha! I am totally having to put a halt on my poster buying for a while. I have other things I need to concentrate on/get done and I am broke. Fortunately I already have a surplus of "posts" to put up for the next couple of months (including a few BONUS posts) into early March. Ha! I am so glad you like some of my posters. I realize I only like the silly/cheesy/stuff (like all of the titles you mentioned).
THANK YOU BOTH for visiting!

Oh my stars! WHERE did 2016 go-go? I'm sure many of you out there have exciting New Year's Eve plans...so i'll try to be brief (well, that never happens, but...). Here's a BONUS post to send off 2016 and to welcome 2017. I think all of these new acquisitions (except one) are from eMovie's recent Black Friday sale last month. Thanks again, eMovie!
Okay, get your cocktails ready...
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%203_zpsmmm1xslk.gif)
...and let's begin!
ASK ANY HOOKER:
I have no idea what this is. I had seen it lingering in the Fixed Price Items section for months...years, perhaps. I was curious about it but that was it. Then, during the sale, i thought "why not?" So i did.

MOMMIE DEAREST (half subway):
I know I just got a MOMMIE DEAREST one sheet not too long ago. I got that to try to fool a friend who bought me a framed PRINT years ago (that I threw out in the move) that the one sheet was the copy he gave me. This half subway is larger than a one sheet...but it's ROLLED (which the print was). So i bought this to be the one I'll frame and try to pass off as the one he gave me.

BATMAN FOREVER:
I am NOT a superhero movie fan. Although i love the 60s BATMAN series (and movie), I just am not a superhero kind of guy. However, I got this because A) it was cheap and B) if you saw any of my framed poster videos, you'll know I have several framed BATMAN posters from several of the 80s/90s series that had been a gift to my nephew 10 years or so ago. Earlier this year, he returned them to me--having outgrown them. I could not remember the name of the film some of the character posters were from. It was this film. Duh.

AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS:
NOT a very good sequel by any means, I got this to go with my poster for the original...and it was cheap also.

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gifs/poseidongif.gif)
THE BLAIR WITH PROJECT:
I got this one because, believe it or not, I don't think I had one yet. Many people today do not understand how/why this movie was a big hit. It was the first of its kind to do the found footage thing (which has now been done to death, thank you...). I saw the film in the theater...and walked away disappointed (the ending leaves a lot to be desired). I did, however, LOVE all of the promo stuff that went before the film's opening. The website was cool and convincing (it made it sound as if those people really DID disappear. And it was so detailed.). Better yet was the feature length (!) documentary about the Blair Witch that aired on some stations leading up to opening day. The first sequel was crap and I have not seen the reboot sequel yet...but having the first poster in the series is kind of cool.

I WAS A TEENAGE ZOMBIE:
I've never seen this, but got a copy of the (oops!) video poster a year ago or so, thinking it was the one sheet. My bad. For some reason the one sheet is usually pricey, but in the Black Friday sale, this was reasonable. Snag!

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphyNYE_zpsmfr7gkto.gif)
THE HUNGER:
This used to be a hard to get cult favorite...but lately it seems this movie has fallen more into the realm of the forgotten than cult. I saw this in the theater when it first came out. I wasn't that impressed with it. In fact, I've forgotten most of it. What I DO remember most about it was the cool song "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by the awesome band Bauhaus. This film introduced me to them (and their subsequent off-shoot bands).

KONG: SKULL ISLAND (advance):
This was NOT from the Black Friday sale...but I wanted to sneak this one in anyway. A NEW KING KONG movie? Although it looks like it's a bit skimpy on the mighty ape (based on the one trailer I've seen so far), I am all for it. Love me my KONG! Had to get the advance ASAP.

THE BELLBOY AND THE PLAYGIRLS:
A 3-D nudie cutie? I'm there! I actually already have one of these posters, but when I saw the cheap price eMovie was asking for this better copy, I said SOLD.

GHOSTBUSTERS (International):
Wow! I was not a big fan of the GHOSTBUSTERS series either, but I recognize how popular/pricey the poster is. So, I've been on the hunt for one for years as well. I never liked the Ghostbusters symbol (ghost in the slashed circle) poster because the title was not on it. The US one sheet with the title features the three main stars...but no Ghostbusters symbol. However, the international one sheet features both styles of the US one sheets combined. This was the poster I was after (if I ever got one). This is what emovie had on sale...and this is the one I ended up getting. Who you gonna call? (And no, I will not be bothering with the posters for the sequel or reboot sequel...which I didn't even bother to see.)

The clock has not run out on 2016 yet! In addition to my New Year's Eve post above, I have a short video (31 seconds) of some newly framed posters! Ooooo. Boring for most---but I am excited. look or don't:

The Skull poster is wonderful - love the warning on the top left of the poster. Have a happy new years - its only 3 hours away here in Australia
-
DAMOMAC By now you've started the new year. How exciting! I am still a little less than 11 hours away. How does 2017 seem to be shaping up so far? Thanks for visiting---and watching the 32 second video. Very few ever bother with them. Ha! Glad tyou dig the framed SCREAMING SKULL poster. That turned out to be my fave of the 4 I framed too.
CHEERS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year and...ARGH! This is my 2nd attempt at making this post. Just as I was finishing up the 1st attempt, I somehow DELETED it. GRRR! (Now i have to figure out which posters were on here and which I've already posted. OOOPS!)
THE GIRLS FROM THUNDER STRIP:
I don't know if i am thrilled to get this or not. I can't tell if the art is cool or CREEPY. Those heads, especially the one on the left, are so big with big eyes. Weird....
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng020/Girls%20From%20Thunder%20Strip_zps8ryyfrzf.jpg)

WIZARDS:
Something else I didn't really need. Joy... But I did see the flick. Bakshi (sp?) is collectible, no?

DEATH BED:
This strange little curio has been on my radar for a while...but I always seem to miss it. NOT this time. MINE! Now to track down the movie. Is this any good? Death Bed...sounds like mine. I always seem to have trouble falling asleep (like now... It's late and I can't sleep. So I'm having a glass of whiskey and typing these descriptions again.... Joy... NOT!)

DRACULA SUCKS:
Speaking of curios, here is an X-rated Dracula movie starring golden age porn stars like John Leslie, Annette Haven, John Holmes, Kay Parker...and Reggie Nalder. What??? Nalder, star of THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, MARK OF THE DEVIL, and SALEM'S LOT appears (in a --thank god--non-porno role) as a Van Helsing-type role. This was filmed at Scotty's Castle in the Mojave Desert and re-released in an edited R-rated version as LUST AT FIRST BITE.

THE HOLY MOUNTAIN (Japanese B2):
I love Alejandro Jordowosky. He is one of my all-time favorite directors, based on only three films alone; EL TOPO, HOLY MOUNTAIN and --my favorite--SANTA SANGRE. I recently got a German EL TOPO poster and I have a video poster for SANTA SANGRE (which i prefer to the theatrical US version....but if I were able to snag one, I'd still buy it.). So I am thrilled to FINALLY score some paper for HOLY MOUNTAIN--a super psychedelic surreal movie that has to be seen to be believed. It's freakin' bizarre yet AWESOME.

OUT OF SIGHT:
Groovy, baby. I've never seen this flick but have long coveted this poster, which features a super duper custom car created by George Barris (creator of the 60's Batmobile, the Munster Koach, and other swell cars). I've never seen this flick, but it looks like a James Bond beach movie. Kowabunga!

FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH (Thai):
This I bought from PHIL (aka OcularBeing) right here on the website in the For Sale section. (Thank you!!!!) I am broke and really need to curb my poster spending this year. BUT, I saw this posted and somebody (I think it was MIKE aka MWRIGHT) who had posted a copy of the Thai FAST TIMES on my thread (and, much like TED's posting of THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE HUNTERS inspired me to get THAT poster when he posted it on my thread). I went for it. I ended 2016 with a doozy...that i HOPE photobucket does NOT censor. Ha!

LEGEND OF THE WOLF WOMAN:
I do not know this movie, but I liked the poster. It's very colorful. Is the film any good? A true story so brutal and horrifying it was kept from the public for over a century...and kept from me even longer! Yowza!
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng026/Legend%20of%20the%20Wolf%20Woman_zpsbq5cydm5.jpg)

THE MUMMY'S CURSE (British quad 70's re-release):
Not the prettiest of posters...hmm. This 70's British quad re-release for THE MUMMY'S CURSE is less than stunning--far less.But with so little paper on the Universal monsters, I'll take it.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/british_quad_mummys_curse_SD07365_T_zpsuq93whhm.jpg)

FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN (British quad 60s re-release):
Another less-than-stellar British quad re-release, this time from the 60s. I'll take it because it's a Universal monster flick...but the design is very disappointing. The US re-releases were far more interesting...and that usually isn't necessarily the case. Oh well... Que sera sera. No one asked me for my input.

Should be another good year both life wise and hopefully in the poster department also. The collection grows bigger by the week and the wanted list keeps growing.

It's after midnight APF time. So what does that mean? It's now January 2nd...or JAN. the 2nd, if you will. What does that mean? It's FAKE JAN DAY! In honor of Geri Reischl, THE BRADY BUNCH VARIETY HOUR's "Fake Jan", people from all walks of life (well, those "in the know" at least) celebrate this most fake of holidays--FAKE JAN DAY! To salute Fake Jan Day 2017, here is a special BONUS post. Grab your cheeseballs (the official food of Fake Jan Day, because it is such a cheeseball holiday) and let's take a look! But as you do, see if you can spot the FAKE JANs as we move along.
But first, DAMOMAC, I'm super glad your collection is growing. That is awesome! Get busy posting. We all want to see what you've got. And, as always, thank you so much for stopping by.
Now, on to the special FAKE JAN DAY post:

THE CAPITAL HILL GIRLS:
Never heard of this adults only flick. So why did I buy it? Hello? 3D! I'm such a sucker for a gimmick...

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AND THE MONSTERS:
Now, where can I find a copy of Red Riding Hood and the Monsters? That poster rocks.
I know you were just teasing, Ted...but here I am buying ANOTHER copy (for, unfortunately, a lot more than my first copy). It's an upgrade, as my other copy has a stamp on the back that bleeds through. I dig my kiddie matinee posters and I have all three of the Mexican LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD K. Gordon Murray kiddie matinee US posters. You may be kidding, Ted...but I really LIKE them. Ha! (I'm sure the movies are atrocious though...)

HAUNTED:
I'm not sure I ever saw this flick---which, by the cool poster, LOOKS interesting. I may have seen this a long time ago. But at the same time, i think I am confusing this film with something similarly titled called HAUNTS, which came out about the same time. That may be the one I saw. Whichever it was, it was sooooo dang boring. I don';t remember anything about a phone booth in a cemetery...so maybe this IS worth tracking down? Hmm...

THE BURNING:
THE BURNING was one of my first 15 or so posters. I still have my original copy, but the corners have pin holes and, I'm pretty sure, some missing paper. This is an upgrade.

THE JOYS OF JEZEBEL:
Ooooo. I've never seen the movie, but have long wanted the poster for it's wild, sexy and colorful art.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/fakejan150_zpsemsrn4bg.jpg)
THE SPACE CHILDREN:
I've never seen this Jack Arnold directed sci fi flick, but with its giant brain (?) and all of the kids around it, it kind of makes me think of VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED...although i'm sure it's NOTHING like that. Cool image though.

ORGY OF THE GOLDEN NUDES (aka HONEYMOON OF HORROR):
First off, let me state that the image below is borrowed as I do not think Photobucket would host this image. Golly! I've wanted this poster for the last year or so---when another dealer had a copy. I tried to get that one, but it was snatched away at the last second. This time I put up a BIG snipe and...MINE! According to the research i did for this poster, it's a re-titling of something called HONEYMOON OF HORROR, which is supposed to be god-awful and tediously boring/incoherent. The ORGY version is supposed to have about 7 minutes of nudity (to make it less boring and incoherent, no doubt. Right, Steve?) that are absent from the HONEYMOON version...but the ORGY version appears to be "lost". (All possible copies are rumored to be in Australia somewhere though...)

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/1ggski_zpsutcso0eg.gif)
BEYOND THE TIME BARRIER:
I thought ORGY OF THE GOLDEN NUDES was going to be my favorite poster of the post...but then I got this one. Ooooo--LOVE the futuristic art on this. The movie is hokey, but still kind of fun. Apparently this is a re-release poster. The original release was by some very small company (can't recall the name) and the poster art was completely different. AIP bought the picture and released it with all-new posters, and probably got it to far more theaters than the other company ever dreamed of getting to. Either way, it's a super cool poster (and it totally captures the look and feel of 2024. Ha!). Yowza!

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/maxresdefault_zpsarj6rluu.jpg)
And now go enjoy a cheeseball or two. Get your Fake Jan on. Have a fun day (or at least fake it).
HAPPY FAKE JAN DAY!

Here is an extra special bonus post for FAKE JAN DAY 2017. This first video is a quickie video of 4 more posters I have framed...including a peek at one I have NOT formerly shown anyone (and won't show until my next post on Friday the 13th!). 32 seconds. Watch or don';t:

Yep 7 minutes of non boring orgy video is in my video vault :-p
Nice collection again including Orgy and Time Barrier (poster looking a bit TopGun-esque)

Hi STEVE!
I'm glad to hear those 7 minutes of ORGY OF THE GOLDEN NUDES are in your vault. I'll alert the authorities...er, um, film archivists so hopefully we can get it out there for all of the world to see. Glad you dig the poster and the TIME BARRIER one as well. (Those jet things on it do kind of give it a TOP GUN flair.)
I'll be back with a BONUS POST on Friday the 13th. In the mean time, here's a mini-bonus post...something I won tonight on Rich's movie poster bid auction (Thank you, Rich):
TOPAZ:
It's a Hitchcock film, and I have heard of it, but have never seen it Any good?

EEEEK! It's a special FRIDAY THE 13th posting!!!!! Most of these purchases are older. I've really curtailed my spending out of necessity. I do have posts ready to go through March though... so hopefully that will hold me over post-wise on here until I can get some bills paid off.
ARI, I finally got around to watching "NIGHT CREATURES" (aka "CAPTAIN CLEGG"). You were right. It was okay--not great. For some reason it reminded me of a Disney movie (minus the minimal violence and the power nipples in the slip). Ha!
And, one last thing before we get to the posters, a while back I got a poster for a movie called TERROR IN THE JUNGLE. There was only a short clip of the flick available on Youtube at the time, but someone has been wonderful enough to post it in its entirety. Do NOT watch the whole thing. The best part is the first 27 minutes. It is so over-the-top wonderfully bad. You will LOVE it (maybe). The very beginning is painfully awful to watch---but once they get to the airport, the entire flight, and up until the annoying kid is all alone is priceless trash! It's better than all of the AIRPORT movies combined in less than 30 minutes! Check it out or don't: https://youtu.be/PiaqiLbqew4

And now, since you were unlucky enough to stumble in here.... here are the posters. Yikes!!
SHAUN OF THE DEAD:
I know. I know. Everyone has had one of these for years. Everyone but ME, that is. Yahoo! I got mine FINALLY!

BLACK SHEEP (British Quad):
Although I bought the DVD as soon as I first heard of this flick...I was disappointed. A British horror comedy about a killer sheep...sounded fun, but...something didn't work for me. Ewe get what you pay for, i guess. (Ba-a-a-a-d joke.) Anyway, came across the quad and thought it was kind of fun...and it was cheap.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/tumblr_mm7f0vM6151rlct23o1_400_zpsrmuwwrh3.gif)
NAKED EXORCISM (aka THE POSSESSOR, CRIES AND WHISPERS, THE RETURN OF THE EXORCIST) (British quad):
Hot diggity! I love my EXORCIST rip-offs. This one is especially dumb and cheap--but I dig it. I first saw it on VHS as THE POSSESSOR eons ago and have been trying to track down paper on it ever since. I'd settle for a video poster if I had to. Luckily I scored this British quad under its UK title NAKED EXORCISM. Yes, i know. No one else is excited but me. That's fine.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/friday_the_13th_part_2_jason-5_zps0d5gp7hy.gif)
THE STEPFATHER:
Normally I would have passed on this...but it was inexpensive. The STEPFATHER films were okay...but tended to be all the same. But the first one was a decent little thriller and did inspire two sequels, a remake and some knock-offs. It also more or less put Terry O'Quinn on the map.

EMPIRE OF THE ANTS (British Quad):
I know most people don't bother with Bert I. Gordon's 70's opuses FOOD OF THE GODS and EMPIRE OF THE ANTS. They're guilty pleasures of mine. I proudly have one sheets for both. This British quad for ANTS is really nicely done...and completely different than the US version. And what an interesting cast---JOAN COLLINS, Pamela Susan Shoop (death by theraputic jacuzzi in "Halloween 2"), Robert Pine (the boss guy on "CHiPs"), John David Carson and Robert Lansing. And GIANT ANTS!!! Ha!

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/33m38O3_zpsrasrv4gc.gif)
DEMONS:
Dario Argento produced, Lamberto Bava directed...this was a hit horror film I was lucky enough to see in the theater (which was weird as it takes place in a theater). Great horror flick that inspired at least one true sequel and several rip-offs/imitators. I already had one---this was an upgrade.

EMBODIMENT OF EVIL (Brazilian):
Oooo...The final film in the Coffin Joe trilogy. Ze do Caixao ("Coffin Joe"), the character, appeared in many low-budget Brazilian movies made by actor/writer/director Jose Mojica Marins. The first Coffin Joe flick was AT MIDNIGHT I'LL TAKE YOUR SOUL (1963). It was followed by THIS NIGHT I'LL POSSESS YOUR CORPSE (1967). The story line finally concluded in 2008 with this film, EMBODIMENT OF EVIL (which utilized a young look-a-like actor in the younger Coffin Joe flashbacks). I have the 2nd and now 3rd poster in the trilogy (as well as other Coffin Joe posters), now I just need to track down the first one.

THE BLOODY EXORCISM OF COFFIN JOE (Brazilian):
The EMBODIMENT OF EVIL poster above was a bonus find from the same dealer who had this poster. Yowza! THE BLOODY EXORCISM OF COFFIN JOE (US title---it was clearly called EXORCISMO NEGRA or BLACK EXORCISM in Brazil) dates back to 1974 and is one of the few Coffin Joe posters left I really, really wanted. There was another of those coveted titles (INFERNO CARNAL aka HELLISH FLESH) someone had for sale. I was watching it, stupidly waiting until I could afford it. It was re-listed a time or two and then...someone ELSE snagged it. ARGH! So when this one popped up, i just bit the bullet and charged it. But yippy yippy yeah! This film, clearly inspired by the success of THE EXORCIST and released approximately 1 year later (December 1974) is not your typical possession film. In many ways it is a precursor to Wes Craven's NEW NIGHTMARE in that Jose Mojica Marins plays himself and states on a talk show that Coffin Joe is not real, that he just plays the part in movies. He then sets off to write a movie about exorcism at remote house...and strange things start to happen. Not the best COFFIN JOE movie (the trilogy mentioned above is your best bet to sample Coffin Joe), but I'm glad to have the poster. FINALLY!

WEREWOLVES ON WHEELS:
Ooooo oooo oooo! This is my prize this posting. (The 1974 Coffin Joe was a very close 2nd...) I have wanted this poster for decades. It has grown out of my financial grasp in the last 10 years or so---always tauntingly just out of my reach. There was one on emovie not too long ago and I fought hard to get it---but the price just went where I dared not go. So...I lost it. Then I came across this one, much cheaper and SOLD!!!!!!! Zowie! It's cool enough that a movie called WEREWOLVES ON WHEELS actually exists, but the poster --with a motorcycle-riding werewolf, clutching an upside down chick (who is herself holding a snake) while running over some guy--is totally awesome! How can you NOT dig this piece of exploitation sleaze-genius!? LOVE IT!!!!

Nice posters, Shawn!
Especially like Exorcismo Negro.
Finally watched the Friday the 13th remake last night.
Sorry I did.
cheers

Hi TED. Congratulations on surviving FRIDAY THE 13TH (the day and the remake). I am glad you like the EXERCISMO NEGRO poster. I am super jazzed about it. About the F13 remake. I hear ya... LAME! It could have been just another run of the mill sequel. There was nothing really fresh or new about it. Oh well. I appreciate your stopping by. Cheers pal.

Hi there. I'm B-A-C-K with my typical middle-of-the-month update. This is a somewhat "special" update. No, it's NOT a salute to the movie "CARRIE". Instead it is a remembrance, if you will, to an acquaintance of mine named Scott. I had met him through eBay about 10 years or so ago. He had sent me a note asking if he could buy a particular poster I had just purchased (back in the day when you could still see who the winning bidder was and contact them---before eBay changed it's privacy policy and did away with that). I did not sell him the poster...but we struck up a friendship of sorts. He was the first person i actually "knew" who also collected movie posters. Scott lived on the East Coast and was a few years older than me. We never met in person, but we talked on the phone, emailed, texted and occasionally sent real mail to each other.
Scott was kind of an odd bird, someone I probably would not have been friends with in "real life"--but he was a good long-distance poster friend. He was constantly stuck in the past or wondering why certain things didn't happen for him that happened for other people. He always felt like life had slighted him. He was obsessed with the movie "CARRIE", and I think he identified much too closely with the main character, always unliked, picked on, bullied, etc. A lot of times I thought Scott read far too much into things going on in his life or, in some instances, brought them on himself. But he really loved the movie so much that at some point last year he had his name legally changed to CARY.
Not long back I stumbled on an auction for a bunch of stuff I thought Scott/Cary would love. I had sent him photos and links to the auctions...but never heard back. For some reason, i thought he was mad at me. He had not texted/emailed me in some time and when i tried to call him, his phone said it was not taking incoming calls. Weird.
I bought several things from that auction. When i opened the box, inside were used tubes and envelopes containing the posters...all of them addressed to Scott. Super WEIRD! I tried to contact him about that--not a peep. I was thinking he had to sell stuff to make some money, figuring he'd been fired from his job at a library or something. Scott always wished it were the late 60s/early 70s. He loved the hippy look. The last photo of him I saw showed him with long hair that went beyond his hips. He looked like Cousin Itt from THE ADDAMS FAMILY. How would that fly at the library? Not very well, I guessed. So i was worried he may have been fired.
The same auction house I bought Scott's stuff from also has an eBay presence as I discovered when I stumbled on more of Scott's stuff for auction--including lots of CARRIE stuff and an autographed photo I had sent him as a gift once, signed "To Scott. I can see your dirty pillows. Piper Laurie.". Huh? How or why would he ever part with that CARRIE stuff? The blurb about the seller said he specialized in estate liquidations and that's when i had a sinking feeling... I sent a note to the auctioneer asking about Scott...and then Googled him. He was dead. The auctioneer told me later it had been suicide at age 53. Man! That and all of the surprise celebrity deaths towards the end of 2016 was a REAL wake up call that my own mortality could kick in at any moment. Geez!
I've been taking it easy on buying lately---but I had to bid on a lot of Scott's stuff. It just felt right that i should buy what i could, that he would have wanted me to. Some of the things I already shared in past posts, like that SCREAM quad with the actors in the letters, for instance, were his (but I did not realize this yet when I bought them). We had talked about those and a few others he had---and he wanted me to get copies too. I don't know... I suppose I should feel like a scavenger, picking up bits and pieces of his collection now that he is dead...but i don't feel that way at all. I think he would have wanted me to have these things. It kind of keeps him "alive".
Anyway, everything in this post was part of Scott's estate. Enjoy or don't.
CARRIE (aka CARRIE KILLER GIRL !?):
What the...!? Weird foreign (from where?) CARRIE poster with a strange subtitle and some sexy brunette is stockings and a black bra to entice the moviegoer...and she is NOT even in the movie! Ha! Uber cool in a funny way.

GAY LIBERATION:
Yes, Scott was gay. He mentioned this poster once but didn't really say anything else about it. I was going to let it go, but it just looked so rare. i've never seen it before (nor can i find a reference for it on IMDB...and yet it is clearly rated R. Is it a documentary? I have no clue.). I paid more than I wanted to for it, but feel reasonably sure I could make the money back--and MORE if I sent this to the right auction house. And, did I mention it is in "Gigantic Screenovision"? Zowie! The 4th Dimension!? Hmm...

ANDY WARHOL'S HEAT (review style):
I've been on a hunt for Warhol movie posters for a while. This review style is unique. I've never seen another...although I am sure it's not as sought after as the regular one sheets.

CARRIE (Argentinian):
What can I say? Scott, er...Cary was obsessed with CARRIE.

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng038/Carriegiphy4_zpsxhfdvdji.gif)
A BIGGER SPLASH:
Another gay title, i think. I'm not sure...but I know I have seen this poster at auction before and it has gotten some big bucks...so this may be headed for a resale soon. Sorry Scott. This poster is not working for me. Hmm. Maybe I am a scavenger after all?

CARRIE (Lobby card set):
As you know, I am NOT a lobby card person. I have a few---but generally stay away. But this set called out to me.

CARRIE (British Double Crown set?):
I'm not really sure what these are---but the two photos (from separate auctions) clearly belong together. It's my guess they are the British Double Crown set (or part of the set)? Would that be correct? I've never dealt with British Double Crowns before, so i'm just guessing. NOT in the best shape---some tears and missing paper, but unusual and I'm guessing fairly rare (?). Anyone know anything about these?

I bought other stuff of Scott's as well. Some listed before this post as I said...other stuff will come after. Thanks for indulging me in this odd tribute-like post to someone who was never even a member (and i DID TRY to get him to join several times... I do think he lurked around a bit).
Now go out and have a great finish to your January!

CHEERS!

I just re-watched Carrie for the first time in years.
Holds up better than most.
Nice that you could salvage some of your buddy's paper.
I think he would've been happy.
cheers
-
I agree. "CARRIE" has held up really well. The clothes and hair not so much...but the overall movie is still awesome. Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie are both brilliant. They deserved their Oscar nominations for it.
Yes, I think Scott would be glad I'm getting his stuff.
Thanks for the visit.
CHEERS!

It's a mini-BONUS post. What's the occasion? I just did something REALLY STUPID!
I got home tonight with an email telling me I had won an auction I only vaguely remember seeing online...but have ZERO MEMORY of ever bidding on. It was for a LITHOGRAPH (Grr... WHY didn't I notice that when I bid? I must have just woken up or something and was still mostly asleep. Lithograph is just a fancy term for COPY!!! UGH!!!) of the Bela Lugosi flick MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE. The ONLY bright spot in this (if you can consider giving up a large sum of money for something you do NOT want) is that I believe I had bid the minimum bid...and NOT the estimated amount it was expected to garner. I was the ONLY bid apparently. It's 40x30 (a size i do not collect) and apparently in excellent condition---but it's still just a COPY! What the heck am i going to do with it? GRRR.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Murders%20in%20the%20Rue%20Morgue%20litho_zpsjxf5fwo7.jpg)
CHEERS!
-
Don't feel bad - I almost pulled the trigger tonight on a lobby set I already own. I have far fewer pieces than you do. How the hell do you remember what you already have???
-
MAGG, had it been a stone litho measuring 27x41, I would have said you scored BIG TIME!!
But lithograph doesnt mean "copy" or "reproduction." After stone lithography went out of vogue in the US due to cost, in the early-mid '40s, for the most part, it was replaced with offset lithography.
So it being a lithograph isnt a bad thing. The size indicates that its a later, commercial repro. ;)
But Ive always loved this poster imagery..... so a thumbs up is still in order (from me, anyhow) thumbsup.gif
-
Hey DR. BILL, thanks for the visit. I buy stuff I already have all of the time. OOPS! I need to organize my stuff--make a spread sheet or whatever.
JEFF, I misspoke. I know the difference between stone litho and regular litho. This is such an old title and this is clearly a "newer" poster---hence, litho in this case clearly means reprint.
Ugh... why am I awake already? Didn't i just go to bed? Argh. Gotta get to work. Geez...it just pains me to think that it took one whole long 12-hour day to pay for that stupid print. GRRR. What was I thinking?
Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers
-
Shawn,
Sorry to hear you ended up with something you didn't want ( I feel like this happens to you a lot :) ), but that is one iconic image that I've always loved...gorgeous print, repro or not.
-
But its a beauty, nontheless, Shawn, and the color reproduction looks very spot on, too.
-
Hi JEFF and CHRIS. Yes, it is attractive...but it's just a repro none the less. NOT for me. A very stupid and expensive mistake...
But thanks for coming by.
-
Hi Shawn!
I just read almost all... *checks*45 pages on your thread and I enjoy reading your comments and the wide variety of posters you share! Are you all unpacked now? Have you been making notes in a spreadsheet as you go along? I did recognise a few titles popping up at different times so I wondered if you'd started selling any of your duplicates? I was sorry to hear the news about your friend Cary but such a coincidence that his items ended up coming to you. I think he would like that you own various pieces of his beloved collection now.
Have a lovely weekend and it was a joy to see you going through what great vintage paper you have. I'm still giggling over Thar She Blows! I
-
Hey STARRYKAT! You deserve some sort of prize or medal for wading through my thread. I hope it wasn't too long winded. THANK YOU very much for saying hello. Glad you got a laugh out of THAR SHE BLOWS. I'm at work now (shhh! Don't rat me out.) so I have to be quick (consider yourself lucky--Ha!). But, NO! I have not been able to unpack. For whatever reason, I have been bombarded with company. In fact, I have a guest coming for two weeks starting Wednesday. My mom is also coming for a two week visit...so my guests will over lap for a couple of days. I'm glad I have two guest rooms for that to happen. I've so much to do (unpack, go through my posters, write an article I've done all of the research for, etc.), but can't because my friends keep coming and coming to visit. It's like I live at a hotel. Ha! SOMEDAY I will get to them...
I also do think Scott (or "Cary'---but I never got used to that name) would want me to have some of his collection. He would trust that it would be safe and taken care of.
Thanks again for visiting. My door, er...thread, is always open. Come on by again.
Cheers!

I know we are just a day or so away from my usual 1st of the month poster update, but I have a few posters i recently framed to share. I know the videos are not popular---that is OKAY. You do NOT have to watch. (However, there are a few posters in it that I have NOT put up on my thread yet. Just an FYI in case you'd like a preview-a-go-go!) If you click on the link below the video, it will open in a different window and be bigger on your screen. Watch or don't:

Shawn, what's the Youtube channel (name) that your videos are all included in?
-
Ha ha ha... You WOULD ask. Um...well, it's "Freak Show", but all of the poster videos are "unlisted". They will not show up under the channel name. There is also another channel of mine called, "Monster A GoGo". Except for the poster videos (and the recent Fake Jan Day video), they are pretty dead channels. I rarely use them.
-
Sorry for asking......
Was just curious.
Carry on.

Kind of embarrassing... Never mind.

This is a hodge podge post...of auction wins, leftovers from the emovie Black Friday sale, and more things from my dead friend's estate (see my January 15th post if you don't know what I am talking about)..
SPAWN:
I realize I have one of these already. This was an upgrade. I saw this flick in the theater...but think it might have been super hero-y...which may account for me remembering NOTHING of the movie. (Superhero flicks are a big turn off for me.) Anyway, another bargain hold over from the eMovie Black Friday sale (as is the one below).

HOW TO SUCCEED WITH GIRLS:
Here it is. At last, STEVE's life story on the silver screen. This just "looked interesting" and was a cheap bargain...so why not? Never saw the flick. eMovie Black Friday strikes again.

NOWHERE:
Another tidbit from Scott. No idea what this flick is though. Cheap.

THE WIZARD OF OZ (video):
I'm not usually a collector of video posters, but i figure the WIZARD OF OZ market is pretty big. I might be able to turn a buck or two down the road for this. From my friend Scott's collection.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/The%20Wizard%20of%20Oz%20video_zpsaulcv4sj.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Christmas/calvin10.jpg)
THE WONDERFUL LAND OF OZ:
Another OZ-related poster (this time, an ultra-low budget kiddie matinee sequel that is beyond awful). Prepare yourself for this one. It's so packed with thrills "you'll be OZified!" Another from Scott.

TOBACCO ROODY:
Harry Novak's company, Box Office International, has a slew of these hillbilly-themed softcore nudies that played the drive-ins for years. Titles like "Sassy Sue", "Country Cuzzins", "The Pig-Keeper's Daughter", "Midnight Plowboy" and "Southern Comforts" and their respective ads in the newspaper, had me so curious as a kid as to what these movies were like. I saw a few years later on Something Weird Video and eventually started collecting the posters. I already have this one--as I found out just a week or so AFTER buying this when i started going through my old boxes of posters. I've never seen TOBACCO ROODY (the movie) though.

ANDY WARHOL'S FLESH (Australian):
I think i stated before I would love to get my hands on more of the ANDY WARHOL movie posters. This one for FLESH is very different than any I've seen before. it's Australian and at only $20 i thought it was too good of a deal to pass up. From Scott's estate.

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Christmas/calvin9.jpg)
CARRIE (British quad):
Forget the remakes (theatrical and TV), the original CARRIE is a classic. Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie truly deserved their Oscar nominations for their incredible performances. I already have the US one sheet, but this quad was different and cheap...so i went for it. This also turned out to be from Scott. A lot of his posters have escaped me--but that is okay as I've only bid minimal amounts on them. I just can NOT buy everything that was his...and, by now, I have way too much CARRIE. Ha! (Hmm... i wonder if, down the road, any of you will be saying things like "This was from Monster A GoGo's estate"? Creepy to think about...)

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VIII: JASON TAKES MANHATTAN (Recalled advance):
I think i already have one, but it doesn't hurt having a spare. Isn't there supposed to be ANOTHER remake coming soon-ish?

FLESHPOT ON 42ND STREET:
OH MY STARS!!!! I am SO EXCITED about this one. I have been after a FLESHPOT ON 42ND STREET forever. I found this at some smaller auction online---thank God! If it had been anywhere else, I'd have paid a lot, LOT more for it. It's distributed/produced by William Mishkin (I have a collection of his posters---such a notoriously cheap/exploitive producer). Better yet, it was directed by the incomparable (and INCOMPETENT) Andy Milligan (director of such sleaze as TORTURE DUNGEON, THE RATS ARE COMING THE WEREWOLVES ARE HERE, and BLOODTHIRSTY BUTCHERS). A young Harry Reems (under a different alias and without the porn stache) is in this flick along with a bunch of nobodies. What a joy for me to get. Yahoo! And this turned out to be from Scott also--which I did NOT realize at the time I bought it. I am sure he would have wanted me to have this. He would ask now and again if I had scored one yet.

THE BRIDE AND THE BEAST:
I am mad at myself for this one. I paid too much for the condition it is in (but really, it's only the borders that look shabby)...but it's an ED Wood (written by) poster. Too many times these have slipped through my fingers. I just flipped a bit. Ooops. As Wilma and Betty used to say, "C-H-A-R-G-E it!" (Not a good habit to fall in to, but I have. Oh my...)

Did you see your shadow this morning? If you did, I believe that means you'll have 7 more weeks of great poster hunting. Hey! How fab! Happy groundhog Day! Love any reason to celebrate...so why not celebrate Groundhog Day with a bonus post? And to get things started, we have...
GROUNDHOG DAY:
I saw this movie a long while back. i don't remember much other than the day kept being repeated over and over and over...but I wanted the poster because, for a while, I was posting posters with all holidays by my front door (NEW YEAR'S EVIL, MY BLOODY VALENTINE, HALLOWEEN, etc.) I needed a GROUNDHOG DAY!

CANNIBAL TERROR (Canadian):
Silly cannibal flick I saw sometime last year. It's awful...in a fun way. I like my cannibal flicks, but this one is laughable. Towards the end, deep in the remote jungle in the cannibal village, cars can be seen driving in the background. Ha! I'd love to have this poster in English, but don';t think that will happen. So, I'll just stick with this Canadian poster in French.

HITLER'S LAST TRAIN (Canadian):
A Nazisploitation flick poster.... I could have done without it, but it was cheap. From Canada but in French.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Hitlers%20Last%20Train%20French_zpsqanown1v.jpg)

SS EXPERIMENT CAMP (Canadian):
Along with the cannibal movie poster and the other Nazisploitation poster, I picked this up largely because it was cheap.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2033_zpsem88a7uz.gif)
SWAMP GIRL:
Ferlin Husky? Who is he? He is featured in two other posters I have--LAS VEGAS HILLBILLIES and HILLBILLIES IN A HAUNTED HOUSE--but beyond that, i have no idea who he is. I got this poster largely because I recognize it as a Something Weird title. But I have never seen it.,

PLEASE DON'T EAT MY MOTHER:
I have one of these, but this was cheap and in really decent condition---sold!

BLOOD VOYAGE:
I knew NOTHING about this movie before buying this poster. I've since looked into it---not seen it, just read up on it--and it sounds like a big piece o' crap with more nudity than violence/blood shed (Attention Steve!). The reviews I've seen are mostly negative... But that is OKAY. I still think the poster art is incredible. That's why i bought it the instant I saw it. Zowie! It's so cool.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/caligari%20shadow_zpsczonogux.gif)
THE HAUNTED PALACE:
Yahoo! I scored another of those wonderful old VINCENT PRICE / A.I.P. Poe horror posters. THE HAUNTED PALACE is a great poster and, in addition to Vincent Price, also features LON CHANEY and DEBRA PAGET. Awesome.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/The%20Haunted%20Palace_zpsoryil2lu.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%205_zps1e0ullan.gif)
GREAT WHITE:
I already have a copy or two of this notorious JAWS rip-off (Universal sued over copyright infringement...and WON! I was lucky enough to see this in the theater the day before it was yanked from the theater). I didn't need to spend the money on this copy, but I couldn't let it go so cheap either.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Great%20White_zpsy5cxazwc.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/bCulMd_zpsb5uaklpn.gif)
JAWS 2 (Red Advance):
I already have a copy of this poster---but this one is in ultra pristine shape...C-9, according to Heritage Auctions...but that is the confusing part. This is a rarer form of JAWS 2 poster in c-9 tri-fold shape that I got for less than the one that sold on eMovie just before Thanksgiving (in not as nice shape as this one) that Heritage sold--not in their weekly auctions, but as a Buy It Now on eBay for less than I even paid for my other copy (also not in nearly as nice condition). WHAT!?! It had obviously just been posted---it had 29 days and many hours left to go. I didn't take a chance and just snagged it while the snagging was good. There were already several other "watchers". Not as rare as the other poster (with the artwork used on the soundtrack album of the shark coming up on the small sail boat with a young teen guy in the water and his panicked girlfriend in the boat), but still quasi-rare. Whoo hoo. I'm so thrilled to get this.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/JAWS%202%20red%20advance_zpscgfet8kd.jpg)
And now, go out and get your groundhog on! (Whatever that might mean...).
CHEERS!

I just wanted to say that I always love checking your thread, Shawn. Obviously for the handsome and interesting poster images, but also for your infectious energy, humour and interesting notes on each purchase. Keep it up please, I'm a big fan.
Groundhog Day is an interesting one - it's a great example of a pretty poor design which I can happily ignore as I'm so fond of the film. My brain just overrides the design and tells me "you must acquire that poster one day as it pleases you". I've also always liked that poster for Great White...very good.

I'm a big fan too!

TOB Thank you for such kind words. Zowie! I needed that this morning. I agree with you on the GROUNDHOG DAY and GREAT WHITE posters. Thank you ever so much for stopping in and leaving the note.
BRUCE !?! Kowabunga! I am HONORED that you even know my thread exists. And may i just say that while i do shop other auction houses, eMovie is hands down my super fave. Terri and Joann are marvelous to deal with. I just feel so comfortable on your site. I wish I could buy EVERYTHING! Thank you.

I have read every one of your threads and really liked your comments. It reminds of my early comic book days in the 1960s when EVERYONE in the hobby had a true love of comics, and we talked for hours about the artists and the characters, and hardly anyone ever talked "value". But I never commented because I didn't want it to seem like I was trying to suck up to you, because you are a regular customer.
I only commented now because when Tob said "for your infectious energy, humour and interesting notes on each purchase" it captured EXACTLY how I feel about your posts. Please keep up your frequent posting, and if you ever encounter any trolling or negativity, just completely ignore it!

BRUCE, thank you so much. I appreciate what you said. Sometimes I feel like I've overstayed my welcome...and then people like you and TOB pop up and keep me going. I LOVE my movie posters. Thanks for visiting.

Well, thank you as well, TED. I know we share a similar passion for posters (the bonus one below being an exception...HA!) It's always a pleasure when you visit--you know that. I always enjoy seeing what goodies you get as well (I'm still dreaming of your cool TRIFFIDS score. WOW!).
This is turning into a weird mini-bonus post. In addition to responding to TED, I also wanted to touch on this. I was cleaning out my "drafts" section of my email files and came across this. In my FAILED attempt at the beginning of 2016 to only buy posters I wanted/needed, i posted a list...my "Lucky 13". This was a list of wants i was going to focus on for the year. I was also going to ignore everything else---but that obviously did NOT happen. Ha! Anyway, even though it has been a little more than a year, I thought I'd revisit this list and give it an update. NO, i did NOT get everything I hoped to (who can afford it?). BUT---i did score several. Look for the highlighted crossed off ones. Let's take a look:
"The Lucky 13"
I Walked With A Zombie (original)
Planet of the Apes
The Undead
Olga/Ilsa posters (Olga's Girls, Olga's Dance Hall Girls, Ilsa Harem Keeper of the Oil Shieks, Ilsa the Wicked Warden)
Aztec Mummy movies (Aztec Mummy, Curse of the Aztec Mummy, Aztec Mummy Vs The Robot)
James Bond (Goldfinger/Dr No combo, and future posters)
HG Lewis movies (Color Me Blood Red, Wizard of Gore, etc.)
Andy Milligan movies (Guru the Mad Monk, The Body Beneath, Torture Dungeon*, etc.) (*I have it, but am still looking for a better copy)
Blackenstein (Black Frankenstein)
The Blob (original)
The Birds
House on Haunted Hill (original)
Batman (60s)
So----there are still many I want to get....but with the few (4) I got, I just have to say...NOT too shabby. PLUS one of the ones listed above that was NOT checked off I DO have already. i'm saving it for a future post. Hmmm. Which could it be??? Can you guess?
Okay---lastly, I thought I'd just throw this up to get it out of the way. It's a poster I recently won (last night? Night before?). It's nothing big---so why save it?
THE PIRATE MOVIE:
Yet another scrap from my friend Scott's estate. I wouldn't have bothered (and may already have a copy?), but--even though I NEVER saw the flick, I did once meet Christopher Atkins and Kristy McNichol at some celeb thing and got a photo with them.So why not get the poster to go with it? Photo below (and ---ugh! I look hideous. This was, what? January 2010-ish?). Christopher Atkins could not have been nicer. Ms. McNichol though, while polite (I'm sure she wasn't thrilled having herself on display), (let's just say...) wasn't my favorite celebrity I've ever met. Of course, she may have been having a bad day...?

CHEERS and THANK YOU, as always, for your time and visit.
PS I just dug through a box and, yep. I do already have a PIRATE MOVIE poster. Oh well. This one was Scott's...

Happy Valentine's Day! Love is in the air... or maybe I just have gas? I don't know. No valentines for me today. I have to work. Ho hum...what else is new? So instead of spending my wad on chocolates, roses and dinners out...I shot it on POSTERS!!! Ha! There's nothing all that thrilling this time (I am really trying to cut back), but because I heart posters, I can't just NOT buy. Can I? Hmm...
Okay...This is a weird post...lots of kiddie movies and a porn title. Ha! Let's take a peek:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng039/wMfi96V_zpsfg66aozf.gif)
THE LOVE WITCH:
I have no idea what this is, but THE LOVE WITCH? Yowza! Sounds like something I might need to see. Someone posted something on another thread about this poster being available directly from the distributor...so I ordered a copy ($19.99 plus shipping). Not bad...and the poster is interesting. I hope the film is. And, with LOVE in the title, what a great way to start off the Valentine's Day bonus post!

THE GOLDEN GOOSE:
Just when I thought I had all of the kiddie matinee posters out there, along comes one for this movie. Never heard of it. But as a completest, I had to have it.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng001/The%20Golden%20Goose_zpslagutihc.jpg)

HANSEL AND GRETEL and THE BREMEN TOWN MUSICIANS (re-release combo):
The photo is not the actual poster. I don't have a picture of the actual poster, but found this one online. This was a free poster that came with THE GOLDEN GOOSE. I like my kiddie matinee posters, but I already have this one.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng001/hansel-and-gretel--bremen-town-musicians-movie-poster-1965-1020254544_zpsjx9wyfnp.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng039/Creepy-Valentine_zpssl6ymtqy.gif)
SNOW WHITE AND ROSE RED and THE BIG BAD WOLF (combo):
Another free one that came with THE GOLDEN GOOSE, but, like with the above double feature poster, I already have this poster as well.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng001/Snow%20White%20and%20Red%20Rose%20and%20Big%20Bad%20Wold%20combo%20poster_zpsiijtz2nf.jpg)

THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVES DOWN THE LANE (?):
This is an unusual one sheet...I think it's from the US but I'm not sure. This also turned out to be from my friend Scott's collection. In fact, when I first spotted this, I sent him the link (not realizing he was dead at the time) because I knew he was a big fan of this flick. I had never seen this poster before--but obviously he had.

STAR WARS: CLONE WARS (video volumes 1 & 2):
Here are the first of several from our pal Rich at Movie Poster Bid (hence the watermark) (Thank you, Rich.). I already had a Clone Wars Vol 1 video poster...but this came with a poster for Vol. 2 Why NOT get it? I didn't know there was a theatrical version as well---which I didn't get. Oh well. i'm no Star Wars fan anyway.

STAR WARS EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES:
Nope--not a fan, but this went super cheap (guess those "prequel" films weren't so popular? Ha!)
so I snagged it against a future (hopefully) profit when (if) it gets sold down the road. The art is nice--that's one thing I'll give the STAR WARS posters...

CARAVAN OF COURAGE: AN EWOK ADVENTURE:
Another Star Wars something. Also inexpensive. Maybe I can turn a buck down the road? No? Hmm. Decent art though.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2011xdvsdfs_zpsg0gjeb0y.gif)
GODS AND MONSTERS:
The biopic about the man who directed the legendary FRANKENSTEIN. I thought why not? (Especially since I'll never own an original FRANKENSTEIN. Ha!)

CARRIE (British quad):
This is kind of in shoddy condition, with the tears/missing paper in the upper right corner/right center. However, it was clearly meant to go with the other posters I posted a few weeks back. I got it to have a full(er?) set and because it was also my dead friend Scott's. The set seems most unusual. They must be some sort of special British posters. This, and the other posters in the set, seem more like a collage of lobby cards (with their images and captions) in poster form than true, regular posters. Interesting. Too bad they are torn though.

STUD HUNTERS:
Remember VD stands for more than just "Valentine's Day". Ha! Here is an adult movie poster to celebrate the day as well...
A while back, it was a work day and eMovie was having an auction I'd have to miss. So I randomly bid on a bunch of stuff at 5 in the morning---not bidding much as I am now broke so i didn't expect to get much. Throughout the day i kept getting outbid noticed on my phone -- as expected. I left about 740 that evening. As I walked out into the rain, I saw i had an invoice from eMovie. I actually laughed out loud when i saw the only poster I had not been outbid on was this one. STUD HUNTERS, if you haven't guessed it, is a porn flick...with a not very imaginative poster to go with it (although I do love the big 80s hair on the one chick in the inset). But the reason I bid on something like STUD HUNTERS in the first place is a good story (??).
In the summer right after graduation from high school (1983), one of my classmates, who also lived down the street from me unfortunately, started pestering me to take her to the movies. I had a car (it was a junky orange 1966 Mustang) and she didn't. The girl (I'll call her Kristy Christmas---not her real name, but close enough) was a rather large and obnoxious girl---who could be mean. I don't know why I ever gave in and said I'd take her, other than just to appease her and make her get off my back. She wouldn't tell me what movie we were going to (it was a surprise) -- just the time it started. She was directing me downtown, but there were no theaters left downtown that still showed movies as far as I knew (and I checked the movie page of the newspaper every day). Huh?
She directed me to the local Pussycat Theatre. What!? When I questioned her on it, she made some argument I don't recall...and we ended up going in. As we walked up to the theater, I kept hoping that for the next 3 or 4 hours, no one I knew would spot my car...as it was an easily recognizable eye sore. We got our tickets (it was a double feature) and, once inside the door, I was amazed to find myself standing next to a snack bar with popcorn, soda, candy, etc. (In a porn theater? Zowie.) We proceeded to buy snacks at the otherwise unused snack bar. (Patrons who came in after us just made a beeline for the theater.)
I was in wide-eyed shock the whole time. The lobby had been painted all red and there was a large painting (on velvet) of a woman from the waist up topless. I don't recall seeing any movie posters inside or outside the theater. The theater itself was also red with red velvet drapes lining the walls. It wasn't very big, but Kristy was noticeably the only female in the place. Other theater goers were obviously stunned to see her. When we found a place to sit down (thank god i didn't look too closely at the seats. Eeew!) the other, uh... "gentlemen" in our row mostly changed seats to different rows. There was a steady stream of gents heading to and from the bathroom. Yikes! I prayed I would not have to go during the double feature and also wondered if there was a ladies restroom should Kristy need to go.
As I write this, I am reasonably sure that STUD HUNTERS was NOT one of the two films we saw that day, that it was a trailer that was probably shown before BOTH films. Why i think that is is because although i have no memory of the film itself, the theme song has been stuck in my head for the last 33 1/2 years. It pops in at the most random of times and stays for days. Not only do I find it amusing that a porn movie has a theme song...but LYRICS as well? Ha!
(musical intro) boom boom da-da boom boom da-da
(spoken by a couple of lady singers) Here we come...
(sung) Ahhhh-AHHHHHH!
Stud Hunters.
I need some hard core lovin'
Stud Hunters
I need some intimate shovin'
Stud Hunters...
That's all I remember---and I'm not entirely sure of the lyrics. But that's the gist of it. They played the theme song several times in the trailer---and I'm sure they played the trailer twice while we were there...and the damn thing has been stuck in my head since. I don't remember the names of the actual films we saw that day---but the titles FRISKY BUSINESS and LAS VEGAS LADY (LADIES?) are flashing in my mind? Real titles? Other trailers? I don't recall. I don't remember seeing anything...just sitting there in shock and being in a daze...and of Kristy now and again leaning over during the movies and asking if I'd like a lemon drop. Unreal.

THE PIRATE OF THE BLACK HAWK:
I've never heard of this flick, but i couldn't resist it. It's exploitation genius! Notice in big letters (TWICE) it screams "BARDOT!", but only when you read the fine print on the lower "Bardot" do you see that it is Brigitte Bardot's sister...Mijanou. Hmmm... That's almost like a movie starring FRANK Stallone or DON Swayze (but prettier). Ha! I love the con...so the poster had to be mine. From one of Rich's auctions. Thank you, Rich.

RASPUTIN THE MAD MONK and THE REPTILE (re-release combo):
This one, although a re-release, is a real joy to me. Zowie! Patrons of this double bill got a FREE RASPUTIN BEARD to disguise themselves from the forces of evil! Ha. I love it. I have a similar Hammer re-release double feature poster for one of the DRACULA flicks and PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES where boys were given Dracula fangs and girls got zombie eyes glasses. Wow! I'm glad to have this one now to go with it.

Classic 80s horror. Glad to finally have one (or did I already? I really, REALLY need to make a spread sheet).

Thanks for Valentine's Day wishes from your bikini babe

Hey TED, thanks for stopping in. Glad you liked my Valentine post...even though the posters were, by and large, not so special. Not everything can be great...as evidenced in the posting below as well. I DO have some good ones...but am hoarding those for later, special postings. But I DO always love your visits. THANK YOU!
STEVE: Nice to see you. I think I posted the bikini girl with you in mind, actually. Bremen Town is your birth place? Ha! How fab. I'm sure YOUR Valentine's Day was filled with, ahem,... "romance". Keep it up, you heart breaker.

Hi everyone else. You've survived Valentine's Day. And now we are half way through the month (well, actually MORE than halfway)---already! Here are 10 more new additions. Most of these are holdovers from one of Rich's recent auctions (hence the MPB watermark on the photos). Come along for the ride and take a look or don't:
THE MAD EXECUTIONERS:
I've never seen this flick, but there wasn't much competition for it (maybe/probably it's a crappy movie?) I went for it. Is the movie any good?
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Mad%20Executioner_zpsmwmlew0s.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng040/giphy%202_zps9obkcnpx.gif)
THE LIVING END:
"An irresponsible movie by Gregg Araki." I've not seen this, but this director seems to be kind of a cult favorite. I DID see one of his films, THE DOOM GENERATION, and liked it a lot. Got this one cheap...why not? Turned out to be from my friend Scott's collection before I knew he was dead.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%208cghbnfgddngdn_zpsbvd26x60.gif)
CRY OF THE BANSHEE:
Hooray! Another classic Vincent Price chiller poster. Not as nice as HAUNTED PALACE or HOUSE OF USHER, but...
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Cry%20of%20the%20Banshee_zpsdv2ypmhz.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2011dgerterr_zpswtb7qziq.gif)
AXE:
Here is another one I scored from our pal Rich during one of his auctions a few weeks back (Thanks Rich!). Also known as CALIFORNIA AXE MASSACRE (riffing another, more popular movie), this is strictly drive-in, B-movie fodder. Couldn't pass it up.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Axe_zpsde3xjqov.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%201_zpsfqmzeulb.gif)
LATITUDE ZERO:
I got a Thai version of this a while back. I've still never seen the movie. i do dig the power rays or whatever coming from their fingertips. Zowie! What's that all about? Could be a cheesy groovy movie. Cool poster.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Latitude%20Zero_zpszc6h27hn.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng040/giphy_zpsympylcfw.gif)
AT THE EARTH'S CORE:
I actually saw this in the theaters as a kid back in the day, and even then it was ultra cheesy...but you couldn't look away. My eyes were glued to the screen. The poster art has always enchanted me too. I already have a copy, but why not another for a rainy day?
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/At%20The%20Earths%20Core_zpsm6kzhx0y.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng040/livTC1JIJZptE_zpsuu5ttr9a.gif)
RAZORBACK:
I've been curious about this movie for years. I have the DVD---just have never seen it yet. The poster always seems to get snatched out from under me too. Why? I got me a copy---hope to see the film some day. Is it a GIANT pig in it or something? Yowza! This first appeared on my radar because it stars Gregory Harrison, star of TV's LOGAN'S RUN (which, if you'll remember was based off of the film of the same name -- which was the first poster I ever got!)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Razorback_zps7pcfdeoh.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng040/sqlamp_zpsg68h6egi.jpg)
SECONDS:
I've long been curious about this Rock Hudson flick. I've never seen it, but doesn't aging Rock get somehow turned into a younger guy? Hmm.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Seconds_zpszzf7rahy.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng040/tumblr_m3pua2tNWR1rshsrlo1_500_zpsd22vgxjy.gif)
THE THIEF OF BAGHDAD and SPIDERMAN STRIKES BACK (British quad combo):
This was interesting (and inexpensive). I'm not sure what THIEF OF BAGHDAD is...never saw it...but the SPIDERMAN 2nd feature appears to be culled from the short-lived 70s TV series. That should/could be worth something to some fanbot somewhere maybe? I remeber the series--it was flawed and cheesy and no where near as fluid and "believable" as the newer movies are (I only saw the first newer movie--not a big fan of the super hero stuff).
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/boinnng020/Thief%20of%20Baghdad%20and%20Spiderman%20Strikes%20Back_zpsrdynaiae.jpg)

HORROR HOTEL:
Here is my prize for this post. Oooooo how exciting. I've wanted a copy for a long, LONG time. Love the art...creepy fabulous.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Horror%20Hotel_zpstryuamb2.jpg)

I love your post Monster A Go-Go !!! These gifs and posters, lovely !!
BTW, I tried to find the Kilink/Sadistik gif on Google, could not find it...
-
i assume you already have your close to name sake poster mate
http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=4541754
-
BIG BOSS: Long time no see. Nice of you to stop by. i'm glad you dig the post. Not the best stuff this time. Sigh... As for that particular gif, I have no idea where I came across it. Sorry. I'm sure there must be others out there somewhere.
DAMO: YES, I DO have the SHOCKORAMA double-feature poster (I think my copy is buried in this thread somewhere...). Thanks for the heads up, if that was your intention...and go for it if you are interested. I also have a MONSTER A GOGO poster as well ( http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/inc/archive_image.php?id=2123629 ). I appreciate your visit.
And since I am here, I might as well throw up ANOTHER hold over poster:
CARRIE(German):
Yes, it's another from my dead friend Scott's collection. I may already have a copy? It looks familiar. I don't know...
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/CARRIE%20German_zpseaysplkq.jpg)
Anyway, thanks for popping over and saying hello, you guys.
See ya next time (March 1st...if not sooner).

SECONDS is so good it hurts :). An artistic achievement beyond description.
No main-stream of course.
Hudson was so proud of it, too bad Joe & Jill can't appreciate real art in movies and the film flopped badly.
(it IS a downer of course. Thank heavens for the 60s/70s downers, so many wonderful films.)

Verrrrrrry jealous.
Used to have one of these back in the day.
Always loved it.
Not to mention Cry of the Banshee and Latitude Zero.
Great paper, Shawn!
cheers
-
PECKINPAH: Hey, i really appreciate the words about SECONDS. (Cool German poster for it, by the way.) As I said in my post, I've always been curious about it. Now I feel like I WILL seek it out and give it a watch. THANKS!
TED: Glad you like HORROR HOTEL. i just got it in a frame last night. I plan to hang it just inside my front door as my place FEELS like a hotel. I have someone visiting all of the time, it seems. (My best friend is here as well as my mom at the moment. Both guest rooms full for the moment...but, argh! I NEED some alone time.) I'll post something about my recent frame jobs soon...and, hopefully, i'll get some of these up on my bare naked walls very soon. Thanks for visiting.
Since I'm posting, here is another quick-o-rama post.
LORD OF ILLUSION:
It's a recent win from Rich again...hence the watermark. I am reasonably sure I have one of these already...but there's always a twinge of doubt, too. Whatever. The movie was okay. It was no HELLRAISER though. Speaking of HELLRAISER, whatever happened to the planned remake?

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphyzdvfsfds_zpscu9t9j1c.gif)
Good night.
CHEERS!
-
Awesome additions, Shawn! The standout for me (though I really love them all) are Girl Who Lives Down the Lane, Cry of the Banshee, and Razorback.
I have that Pumpkinhead as well...
Congrats on all the killer grabs.
-
Hey CHRIS. Thank you for stopping by. Interesting choices for your faves of my last few posts. As for the PUMPKINHEAD...I THINK I already had one, but wasn't sure. Better safe than sorry...I got it while I had the chance just in case I didn't have one. What is the deal with RAZORBACK? That is sometimes a hard poster to get. I've tried in the past. Hmm. Maybe I just need to sit and WATCH the dang flick. I do have it somewhere laying around waiting to be watched.
Below is a super quick video of 8 posters I've framed in the last few days. It's an entire 1 minute and 21 seconds long.
http://www.youtube.com/v/yPKx7iJghIM
https://youtu.be/yPKx7iJghIM (https://youtu.be/yPKx7iJghIM)
Watch it or don't.
I WILL be hanging some up on my walls very, VERY soon. I am sooooo excited at the prospect of having my posters up on my walls again. YIPPIE! I can NOT wait.
And since I'm here, I might as well post another minor poster purchase:
MOULIN ROUGE:
I probably have this already--maybe. Hmm... There are a lot of styles for this movie, but this is the poster I like best. Again, this is from one of Rich's auctions. Thank you, Rich.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Moulin%20Rouge_zpsnwgofxuz.jpg)
Okay---enjoy the rest of the month, I'll be back on the 1st with another post (as usual), if not sooner.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/BB_DressRip_zps7hkk9g59.gif)
CHEERS!
-
Love the Moulin Rouge poster, Shawn. Heh - if it has Kidman on it, of course I like it! It's an LC set I keep overlooking, so thanks for the reminder. Always enjoy your videos too - and the Hepburn / Cary Grant gif from Bringing Up Baby. Always great posts here!
-
Love the video mate - just wonderful posters there - if you ever see a "BOOGIE MAN WILL GET YOU" or ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE" please let me know - i would love to add those to my collection.
-
Shawn,
I've never seen Razorback either, and my horror prowess runs pretty deep... have always had an affinity for that poster though!
-
DR. BILL, as a big Nicole Kidman fan (GASP!), I am almost shocked you do NOT have a LC set for MOULIN ROUGE yet. Ha! Did they even make them? i know LC are dying off, sadly. They don't make them here any more. Hopefully you can find some. GOOD luck and I look forward to seeing them when you DO find them. Thanks for saying hello.
DAMO, zowie! Thanks for looking at the video (no one ever usually bothers---and that is okay, actually). Glad you saw some posters in there you liked. And, indeed, i WILL keep you in mind should i see another BOOGIE MAN WILL GET YOU or ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE one sheets for sale. (You have great taste, by the way. ha!) You are always welcome to come back and visit.
CHRIS--I'm the same. I like the poster---got it finally--but shockingly have NOT seen the flick. Are you sure you are not my younger clone self?
Since I'm posting, here is another quickie poster posting:
THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH:
Even though this is a later JAMES BOND title and didn't cost an arm and a leg, I figure you can't go wrong with Bond. I already have this, but why not a spare? (Yes, another from Rich's auctions. Thanks Rich, as usual.)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/The%20World%20Is%20Not%20Enough_zpsgzlg2wdp.jpg)
Okay, thanks gentlemen once again for your visit. Happy collecting.

The posters in frames in your video look great, congratulations! :)
-
Hi STEVE. Thanks for stopping by and giving the video a watch. It's always a pleasure to see you.
I've got to get in the shower and get ready for work. But since I'm answering, here is another bonus mini-post:
THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVES DOWN THE LANE (alternate style):
This is NOT from my friend Scott's collection. This is supposedly a rarer B-style one sheet that i do not ever think Scott had or was aware of. It was inexpensive ($7.99 plus shipping). So--I sort of bought it in his honor as i knew he was a fan of the film. I thought it would go well with my other rare style i DID get from his estate.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Little%20Girl%20Who%20Lives%20Down%20the%20Lane%20B_zpshzwbq4qm.jpg)
Thanks for visiting. Off to the shower i go...

Shawn,
Your porn theatre story cracked me up. Never ever change lol.
Great posters I especially like the Cry of the Banshee one.
Marc
-
MARC: The PORN THEATER STORY... HA! I didn't think anyone would actually read it. I'm glad you got a chuckle out of it. Thanks also for the kind words about the posters. The offerings are somewhat "weaker" than past posts, but there are some jewels sprinkled in here and there. I am surprised that CRY OF THE BANSHEE seems to be one of the more popular ones, though. I see that particular title as just "ok". I got it because it's for one of the Vincent Price/Poe/AIP flicks. Those were always fun and they always had great atmosphere...but the poster could have been better, in my opinion. But clearly it works well for you and the others who mentioned it. Thanks for visiting and for bothering to read my little porn theater true life confession story. Ha!
And, since I'm here, here's a mini-bonus post...
PERILS OF THE JUNGLE:
I know nothing about this flick, but l LOVED the art---and couldn't let it get away. (Another from Rich's auctions, obviously. Thanks Rich.)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Perils%20of%20the%20Jungle_zpsqfbku4nr.jpg)

-
Perils of the Jungle is beautiful, Shawn.
That one needs to be framed.
-
TED, I am glad you like PERILS OF THE JUNGLE. I love it. I WOULD frame it, but i am trying to frame all of my horror stuff at the moment. I'm changing out my Bond and Beach Party posters (shocking!) for my horror stuff. I have this pipe dream that, this October or next, I'll have a showing of some of my vintage horror posters. I'm working on it. (Wish me luck.) But that means that PERILS OF THE JUNGLE will need to remain unframed for a while...
Speaking of framing, I have framed 5 more posters, one of which I have NOT yet shared on my thread. (I am saving it until way off on my April 15th posting, which is also my birthday.) You, TED, were the inspiration for me to track down this extra special poster. THANK YOU. If you watch the video, PLEASE do NOT mention it on my thread just yet. (Hmm. Maybe I should bump it up to my March 1st post?) Anyway, here is the video of newly framed posters a go-go. Watch or don't:
http://www.youtube.com/v/oyR10L2fS7Y
https://youtu.be/oyR10L2fS7Y (https://youtu.be/oyR10L2fS7Y)
And, golly, since I am here again, i might as well do another mini-post as well. It IS my mother's birthday, after all. Here is this:
METEOR (International):
Different than the US poster. Not the best disaster flick ever, but enough to bankrupt AIP. Yikes!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Meteor%20British_zps6otosbcb.jpg)
Thanks for visiting, as always.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/7463016ba0eef75ac2ebfadccd48ef27_zpsz8la0wcb.gif)
See ya next time.
CHEERS!
-
UGH. I know i just posted a few hours ago, but it is time for a poster room update! (Not that anyone cares...)
As you can see from the poster below, my hall closet is now FREE of poster tubes:
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/20170222_161734_zpstrrwmytq.jpg)
Where did they go? Well...they are in the poster room, under a big table that I will eventually put my flat file on once I get it painted. (excuse the mess):
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/20170222_161718_zps873nd1x5.jpg)
Eventually, I want to get another flat file and stack one on the other. I have my eye on one, but it needs to wait a while. Once i get the second flat file, the table will shift to under the window (where the desk is now) and the desk will to the wall opposite of where the table is now. That way, i'll have the table available for framing and other poster chores (photographing, packing up for selling, etc.)
In the mean time though, my poster room closet still looks like this:
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/20170222_161817_zps7rbxjecm.jpg)
Baby steps, right? Once I am all fixed up in here, have the flat files, and have gone through the tubes, THEN I can start my spread sheet. Phew!
And since I am here AGAIN, here is another bonus mini-post:
KING COBRA (Australian Daybill):
This is another example of the (way too) many purchases because they are moderately interesting and cheap. I picked this up on eMovie the other day. Never saw the flick and, as I said, the poster is moderately interesting. Only $7. Not complaining a bit. Just...did I NEED it? Nope...
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/aust_db_king_cobra_WC08903_L_zps8ygjtziv.jpg)
Okay...I'll be seeing you.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/9bc70c9d474ebaf1805eaf5895fc8bed_zps28kyak4z.gif)
CHEERS!
-
Always enjoy your videos, Shawn -- especially that one.
Wow, some great posters there.
The Indestructible Man is a personal fave.
Saw the movie umpteen times on TV and have yet to snag a poster.
What am I waiting for?
The Spiritualist, Night of the Blood Beast and The Bowery Boys Meet the Monsters!
I dig watching your psychotronic collection grow.
cheers
-
Hi TED. Thank you (and the 3 others out there who did as well) for watching my little video of newly framed posters...and for NOT revealing my new poster (which i will finally share on the 1st). I gleefully framed another bunch last night...and will frame others tonight. Yippie! Such a joy to see them again---out of the box. Now to hang them... That will happen soon.
Here is yet another mini-bonus since I'm here again today:
BLADES:
I don't suppose many people saw BLADES...at least not in the theater. I did. It's from Troma, so you have some idea of what to expect. The tag line reads "Just when you thought it was safe to putt...", which may give you some idea of what this movie is. It's about a killer lawn mower...on a golf course...done as a spoof of JAWS. I thought it was clever (at least I did at the time. i'm not sure what i'd think as an adult...). I probably already have this and did NOT need this. But it's mine now.

I'm back...with a (less than thrilling) poster room update. I have the flat file (it's HUGE), painted and in the poster room, on the table. I still need to attach the handles to the drawers---but I'll get to it eventually. While going through stuff, I found a whole bunch of rolled posters (some had previously been folded) I had completely forgotten about. Some had edge damage from their poor previous storage (I didn't even realize these were movie posters---oops!), but most are fine or not too bad (if damaged at all). There was a rolled DS MULHOLLAND DR., a cool but smaller (in English) GODZILLA VS MEGALON (with lots of monsters on it) i didn't know I had, an INVASION OF THE BLOOD FARMERS I had also forgotten about and lots, lots more. I have not even looked at it all yet (because i can NOT figure out how to keep them flat in the flat file...so there is a mass of rolled posters on top waiting for storage). Here's a picture of the flat file in the poster room. It's HUGE!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Flat%20file%20in%20room_zpswj2fml6m.jpg)
Since I'm here, it's BONUS mini-post time again:
THE AMAZING CAPTAIN NEMO:
This is something else i could have lived without, but... This is the International one sheet. I doubt there was a domestic version as the movie originally aired on TV as a 2 part mini-series before being edited down into this movie version for foreign release. I constantly amazed by the crap we used to get on TV for free that others had to pay to see in theaters. Ha!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/amazing_captain_nemo_dupe3_SD07171_T_zpsya8ul7wb.jpg)
Okay--back to trying to figure out storing rolled posters in a flat drawer... Thanks for stopping by.

Welcome to the March 1st version of the Shock-A-Rama Poster Show. Ho-hum. Believe it or not, I am still reeling from the financial blow of my three purchases from Heritage way back in November...UGH! So, as you'll see, this is probably one of the most lack-luster posts in a while. (And they've been pretty lame for a while...) I am just b-r-o-k-e.
Take a look, if you want to bother...
ONE CRAZY SUMMER:
I'd have preferred to get a BETTER OFF DEAD poster, but I also dig this other John Cusack flick poster for ONE CRAZY SUMMER. The giant smiling sun makes it. Did I need it? No. But whatever...It will perk me up through the rest of winter. Come on spring!

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2031_zpsvkunahri.gif)
MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN:
Another poster I probably did not need... I really wanted to see this flick--but have not done so yet. I read the books. The first book--the inspiration for this flick--was the better of the three. (The other two were not as good, in my opinion...). Tim Burton directed, so it's bound to be interesting visually (but...hmm. All of Burton's films have been visually stunning...but the last one I actually liked thoroughly was EDWARD SCISSORHANDS or BEETLEJUICE.) Hopefully this is a good flick. Do you know if they are going ahead with the sequels or not? The poster is interesting at least.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%204_zpsvljljsvp.gif)
LICENSE TO KILL (International version):
Something else i didn't need. I have a couple of US one sheets for this Bond film. Although the film was not well received (and kind of bombed at the box office, ending Timothy Dalton's turn as Bond after only 2 movies), I liked it well enough and saw it in the theater. This International one sheet is not that exciting. Why i felt I needed it at the time is beyond me. oh well.

SUPER STOOGES VS THE WONDER WOMEN:
This poster and the four below it I got off of some small auction based out of New York state. I bid a pittance for them---and was surprised i won. My winning bids ran from $5 (minimum bid) to a whopping $15. I lost a few (one guy out bid me by $1 for a grand total of $6. Ha!). I'd bid on these weeks ago--and had forgotten all about them. This one, I got for the minimum bid. I have no idea what this movie is---looks Asian. i think I have it on a DVD multi-movie set, but I have not seen it yet. i think i have/had another copy of this in rather poor condition. Whatever... it was $5.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/200%202_zps3acn3xkt.gif)
SUPERGIRL:
This one set me back $9. I don't think i have any of the SUPERMAN movie posters for the four Christopher Reeve SUPERMAN films, so i don't know why i bothered with even attempting to get the poster for the flop spin-off. But--whoopie...it's mine. Actually, i think i've seen these go for a decent price...certainly more than $9. So maybe I got a deal?

LUANA:
This is the one I wanted most of all (*)--and this is the one squeezed an entire $15 out of my wallet. Ha! (That's the cost of shipping for some sellers these days). I like my Tarzan movies...and this is a female version knockoff with cool art work (Is that Frazetta or Boris?).(* from the auction mentioned in the SUPER STOOGES poster)

ORGAZMO
From the creators of SOUTH PARK and starring one of them, this is ORGAZMO the poster (notice the humping dog. Oh my...) $5 special. Hee hee. I think I actually saw this flick---but have totally forgotten it.

THE BLOOD OF FU MANCHU:
The 4th (out of 5) of the Christopher Lee FU MANCHU movies. I finally saw the films about 3 years ago...and was not impressed. The anticipation of years and years was met with only mediocracy. Nice period pieces, but ho-hum plots. Still, I have been slowly picking up the posters as i come across them.

THE OUTLAWS IS COMING:
After SNOW WHITE AND THE THREE STOOGES and THE THREE STOOGES MEET HERCULES, this is the 3rd THREE STOOGES poster now in my collection. I've never seen it and it probably sucks...but it also co-stars Adam West, just before he became BATMAN! Whatever. i'm glad to have it.

DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS:
TED's not-too-long-ago win of DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS reminded me how awesome of a poster it is....and I mentally pulled it from the back burner (where sooooo many poster wants are boiling away) to the forefront and...I GOT one. Yippie! I WAS holding sharing this until my birthday post (April 15th)...but since it is in my recent framed posters video, I thought I'd share it now. Whoo hoo!

Okay kiddies. Get your March on! Spring is just around the corner (hopefully... That damn groundhog saw his shadow a while back, meaning there's be 6 more weeks of winter. That leaves 2 weeks left,. UGH! But then, daylight savings time hits...and I work the day before AND day of. Groan... No rest for the weary.

Good score for a great price.
That is by Frank Frazetta. That art was used on both the B one-sheet and the 22x28 half sheet.
Frazetta also did the A sheet.
-
TED, THANKS for the info. i just looked up the A sheet. I had NO idea there were two versions, but I dig that one MUCH better. Zowie!
AND--THANK YOU once again for putting me mentally on the trail of a TRIFFIDS poster. I'm so glad we have similar tastes. Thank you for stopping in.
And since I'm here, here's a mini-bonus post again:
SCARED STIFF:
No idea what this is--but it looks awful. So I NEEDED it (of course). I got this from Rich's auction. Thanks Rich.

STEVE! Thank you for coming over to see what else was new. Nothing too exciting...except DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS! YEAH is RIGHT! I am soooo thrilled. It is already framed and WILL be on my walls SOON!
And now--here's another mini-bonus post, purchased just MINUTES ago (literally):
MOTHER OF TEARS:
Although the third flick in Dario Argento's "Three Mothers" trilogy was, how shall i put it?, disappointing, and the poster is kind of blah, I still think this is a good poster to go after as the film had a very limited release (i.e. fewer posters then normal out there) and it IS part of an interesting series that started with the masterpiece film SUSPIRIA---and you know how hard THOSE posters are to get. This is, i believe, my 2nd copy? Hmm. Literally just stumbled on it with mere minutes left to go, bid and won...like 10 minutes ago or so. Yahoo!

JEFF--Correctamundo! That IS Clint Howard from the original STAR TREK series. GOOD eye! And thanks for taking a look.
Time for another mini-post!
GOTHIC:
I saw this in the theater and liked it...a LOT. The poster is based on a famous painting by, umm... (Sherlock Jeff?) (no, wait, i found it!) Henry Fuseli called THE NIGHTMARE (https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/becoming-modern/romanticism/romanticism-in-england/a/henry-fuseli-the-nightmare (https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/becoming-modern/romanticism/romanticism-in-england/a/henry-fuseli-the-nightmare)), which was also used as the inspiration for the poster art for William Castle's THE NIGHT WALKER (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058403/combined?ref_=tt_mv_close (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058403/combined?ref_=tt_mv_close)).

Thanks, TED. I like it. I'm also still groovin' om your FRANKENSTEIN poster and the TRIFFIDS. Thanks AGAIN for unintentionally setting my sites on one.
And because I am so UP about things right now, here is yet another mini-bonus post, that I got on eMovie just last night:
JOHN WATERS FILM FESTIVAL (French):
John Waters? Duh! Of course I had to get it.

I've never seen Gothic, but have wanted to since Ted shared that poster. Now you're sharing it again, I've gotta watch it soon!
Regarding Miss Peregrine - I enjoyed it. Subject matter fits his style well and Eva Green is easy to watch in anything. I usually always prefer the book though when it comes to film adaptations, so if you're a fan of the book, perhaps you'll have the film (I've not read the book).

Don't be scared, Tob.
Watch it soon!

Hey TOB. Thanks for popping in. I actually DID see MISS PEREGRINE... It was at the 2nd run theater here. I had read the book, as i stated, so i was comparing it to the book the whole time. It was a very close adaptation (with a few minor changes and differences in the peculiar children here and there) up until the end. The ending was entirely different---but necessary to give the movie a conclusion. (The book is left open-ended, on a cliffhanger, to get you to read the other two books). Thumbs up. I liked it.
TED, I know you posted the trailer for TOB, but I appreciated it as well. I have NOT seen the movie since it first came out in theaters in 1986. Seeing the trailer again reminded me even more about it---and I may need to track it down and see it again soon-ish. By the way, i had completely forgotten (if I ever knew) that you had gotten a GOTHIC poster. Well done. It is a cool image. I seem to be copying your poster moves--first TRIFFIDS (totally intentional) and now GOTHIC (although that was purely coincidental that time). Ha!
Thank you both for dropping in, gents.
And now, mini-bonus time again:
INLAND EMPIRE (British quad):
I picked this up from eMovie on Tuesday (with the John Waters poster above). I already had a foreign poster (I forget from where) for INLAND EMPIRE, but I like this quad much better. I have never seen a US one sheet for it---but I know they exist. Or do they? I saw the flick in the theater the first time I watched it---and am sure i saw a poster for it outside the theater. Hmm. NOT nearly as good as MULHOLLAND DR or even the better episodes of TWIN PEAKS Lynch directed, but still an interesting flick. Lynch is also one of my faves. I'm soooo looking forward to the new season of TWIN PEAKS.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but the trailer is great.
Must track it down now to watch.
cheers
-
Hi TED. I love Lynch's work...but this one, while interesting, kind of meanders and could do with some editing. But give it a watch and let me know what you think. There is one really awesome Lynch-ian moment in it I still think of often.
And now, min-bonus post time:
PORT OF MISSING GIRLS:
Groovy old Mongram Pictures poster, which is set, i believe, somewhere in Australia near Steve's house. Oh my!

So, I framed some more of my posters. Here's a short video. There may be a poster or two (or three) on here that have never been on my thread before...but they are not new. They're just PRE-APF. There are a dozen or so. Take a look or don't:
http://www.youtube.com/v/Sw0nNpR2zA4
https://youtu.be/Sw0nNpR2zA4 (https://youtu.be/Sw0nNpR2zA4)
In lieu of my usual mini-post, I wanted to present this poster. It's one of the PRE-APF framed ones from the video:
THE MUTILATOR:
I got this poster (and the one sheet under it's pre-release original title "FALL BREAK", which was never used) several years ago on eBay. Somewhere I saved the printout of the auction listing, but as I recall, the guy who sold them to me told me in the course of our transaction that he was a writer and that he had written an article on the film. The writer/director/star had given the guy several copies of the posters and other items. I had read an article on the movie in Fangoria way back in the day and asked if that had been the article. He said that yes, that had been it. THE MUTILATOR I DID see in the theaters (mostly because of the poster--not so much because of the article, which i may not have even seen until afterwards). I wrote about that experience (with a real life psycho weirdo in the audience) earlier in my thread, when i apparently scored another copy of the MUTILATOR poster (folded). Both this and FALL BREAK (which is not nearly as interesting of a poster) are ROLLED. I've never seen another rolled one. EMovie has a tri-fold shown in past auctions and a few folded ones, but no rolled ones. Forgive the reflection from the plexiglas frame. I should probably have featured one of the other posters in the video not seen on my thread before...but whatever.

Some nice additions there - Blood Bath is my pick out of the video, i just missed out on one at the last EMP auction - but another one will hopefully be around the corner soon thumbsup.gif

DAMO! Yowza! Nice to see ya. THANK YOU so much for watching the short video on my recent frame jobs. As I type this, you are the ONLY one to have watched so far (according to YouTube's little counter anyway). Glad you liked BLOOD BATH. There are a few posters I really want to frame that i just can NOT find in my folded poster boxes (I thought I had 6...but as it turns out I had 8 boxes. I went through all 8 of them, sorted them out, put stuff aside to sell on the 'Bay and stuff to send to auction. Now that i'm starting to dig through my tubes, it's kind of a pain---but also exciting. I find stuff in almost every tube I had forgotten about. Hooray!
Since I'm here, here is another mini-post:
SASSY SUE:
Another of those hillbilly sexploiters from Box Office International. Do I have one of these already? Probably. I don't know... (Heck, i may have another already on my thread for all i know...) I think I've mentioned in the past how these country bumpkin drive in flicks really caught my eye when ads for them appeared in the newspaper during my growing up years. JOHN TULL (whoever he was...or is now...if he's even still alive) played JUNIOR in several of the films, even though they each seem to be stand alones and are unrelated aside from their country bumpkin theme. Tull also appeared as other characters in other films from the same producers as well.

As i am starting to collect old school horror please let me know when you are selling on ebay as i would be a buyer - i am sure you have heaps of stuff i would like as i am starting out in the category. One thing though please offer UPS international postage the GSP is a scam - when i buy of ebay auctions i only buy if the seller has multiple items i want or the postage cost makes it uneconomical. Just got 8 folded posters off a seller in the USA and the total postage was $23 - if they were via GSP it would be $160 plus as they don't allow you to combine. Bloody scam haha
The videos are great btw i must prefer of seeing pics although i maybe in the minority it seems
-
DAMO, hi there. getting my posters separated and then actually getting around to selling them are two different things. But, yes, i'll post something if/when I actually do sell some stuff. But don't get too excited. The stuff i pulled for eBay is junk mostly. The better things/duplicates I have pulled to send to the auction houses (if i actually get around to that).
Bonus mini-post time again (and then I have to get ready for work--ARGH!):
ONE FROM THE HEART:
Francis Ford Coppola's $26 million folly that bankrupted him and his studio (it only made $650,000 back at the box office---ouch!). Still it is a fascinating piece of film.

Keep 'em coming.

Hi TED. Thanks for watching the video. I'm glad you liked the CURSE OF THE UNDEAD poster. That was my fave of the bunch as well. It's just beautiful, i think. I'm also partial to the last one a lot, BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE. You'll get yourself a CURSE OF THE UNDEAD someday, I'll bet. There are other posters I really am anxious to frame but I either can NOT find them yet (they must be rolled. GRRR!) OR they are on linen and I have not figured out HOW to frame those yet. ARGH! BUT--THANK you for giving the vid a watch.
Mini-post time (before i head to bed. Tomorrow is another long, long, l-o-n-g work day. o' the joy...

I know nothing about this old 1948 movie, but the poster was very old school cool in my book. SOLD!

Hi STEVE. Thanks for the visit. I'm glad you like the doofy MAN WITH TWO HEADS poster in the video. Could the art be any worse? HA! Also thanks for the thumbs up on my HALF PAST MIDNIGHT poster. I dig it.
And now a bonus post, before I have to get ready for work on this soggy California Sunday morning... (MORE rain! UGH!):
THEY LIVE:
I know this is a popular title to go after...and was amazed to actually get one. It was only after I got it and saw that it was double sided that i realized how/why i got it... It's FOLDED. It should be rolled. Oh well...

I'm one of very, very few people who actually loves One From the Heart. There is a reason it has been my avatar since I started this forum. The presence of Nastassja Kinski at the height of her beauty probably helps, but I also find the movie extremely romantic and I love Tom Waits' songs in it. The story behind it is also fascinating, the fact that Coppola spent everything he had made from Apocalypse Now on this movie to eventually yank it out of theaters because he couldn't bare the negative reviews. It's Hollywood at its finest.

Also, I meant to ask you, have you seen any or all the movies linked to the posters you collect? I'm assuming you haven't, since most of these movies are hard, if not impossible to find. The way you collect is very interesting to me, because I only collect posters of movies i have seen, and I have never heard of any of the titles on those posters. Which leads to my next question: What is the main appeal to you? The genre, horror obviously, B movies, the designs, but then you criticize a lot if it... Just wondering.
T
-
Hello, THIERRY. What a pleasant surprise to find you in my thread. I agree with you on ONE FROM THE HEART. As I said "Still it is a fascinating piece of film." I wouldn't have bought the poster (it's NOT horror or schlocky B-movie) if I didn't. In some ways it reminds me of LA LA LAND.... I also have it on DVD or Blu Ray (not sure which). As to your question about have I seen any or all of the movies for the posters I collect. No--I have NOT seen all of the movies the posters represent...but I have seen the bulk of them. For example, for all of the posters on the last page, there were only 5 films represented that i have NOT seen (HALF PAST MIDNIGHT, PORT OF MISSING GIRLS, SCARED STIFF, LUANA, and SUPER STOOGES VS THE WONDER WOMEN). I hadn't seen MISS PEREGRINE when I bought the poster, but have seen it since. But, generally, whether I have seen them or not, I tend to buy what strikes my fancy....and that is mostly horror/B-movies. True, I do ted to criticize my purchases at times--whether it's a duplicate I spent too much money on, something that had a flaw I didn't notice before (Canadian censor stamps i ALWAYS miss...and they annoy the hell out of me), or maybe they are things I just really didn't need. Why did I bother? Hmm. Then there are those posters, such as Any Milligan's THE MAN WITH TWO HEADS as seen in my most recent framed posters video. The artwork is awful, very juvenile...and just plain BAD, I framed it anyway (when i could have framed Milligan's BLOODTHIRSTY BUTCHERS or TORTURE DUNGEON...or any other poster I have really), because--aside from the fact that i collect Milligan, as bad as it is, it makes me laugh/smile. I get enjoyment out of it. So basically, i buy whatever floats my boat. I don't feel he need to limit myself.
THANK YOU for visiting, T. It's always an honor to have you visiting the cheesy side of APF.
And now, another BONUS mini-post:
ILSA THE WICKED WARDEN (aka WANDA THE WICKED WARDEN and GRETA THE MAD BUTCHER) (Italian 2 fogli):
Zowie! I had seen one of these floating around on eBay for a while. I saw this and went for it. I'm not sure which is in better shape (but this one does have a few "bites" in it along the side), but this one was a little cheaper (by $34 and $28 shipping) and...yippie! It's mine. This is a Jess Franco flick that someone wisely re-titled/re-dubbed and turned into an ILSA movie (which is how I first saw it...so it's always been an Ilsa flick to me).

Hi there! BONUS post time again...but not to show you any new poster. Instead...YIPPIE...I have finally started to hang up some of my framed posters again. There are only 7 up so far...but soon EVERY wall will be posterfied! Whoo hoo! Here is a peek:
These two were the first to go-go up. I like the juxtaposition of ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE with WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST...tiny Vs HUGE! That wall was the perfect place to start. However, as I was hanging them, I realized (GRRR!) that the small window by the front door was shorter than the rest of the windows in the living room by 2 inches. Whose bright idea was that? So I compromised and have them a little shorter than the main windows and a little taller than the lone short window. The rest of the posters will also be hung at this height. I apologize for the awful lighting...and the posters all over the place. Ha!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/20170306_163823_zpskavgybkt.jpg)
Next up, just inside the door in the little entry area, across from the little window, I've hung HORROR HOTEL. It may not be the best choice poster-wise, but it's very fitting. Since moving back to my house, I've FELT like a hotel. I've had people visiting/staying here more often than not. (My mom is here visiting now. My best friend will be here on the 29th until mid-April, etc.) So...my place is truly like a hotel.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/20170306_162107_zps9e75ecs9.jpg)
Again, this next one is lit horribly. Sorry. But on the living room wall that borders the kitchen, I've stuck up BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE, THE SCREAMING SKULL, and CURSE OF THE UNDEAD.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/20170306_165922_zpsi1sbrxnl.jpg)
Finally, for now at least, I have TERROR IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE on the space between the coat closet and the poster room. I will see it every time I enter the hallway from the kitchen/dining room. Yowza! Coolsville.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/20170306_163838_zpsmejiytde.jpg)

I'm finally getting my groove on. Whoo hoo!

Posters look great an your walls thumbsup.gif
-
STEVE: Funny you should say that. As I was posting these photos, I was looking at this cool poster on an otherwise plain, empty space...and I was already mentally thinking of what I could do to jazz it up. Maybe move the poster to the side and add some lobby cards on the side or change the poster and add some artifacts from the film (3D glasses or other gimmick premiums) or maybe hang my groovy MAN WITH THE ATOM BRAIN 3-sheet? (I just need to get that framed if that were the case...). Great minds and all of that... But thanks for looking.

Wow, those posters look great on the walls of your horror hotel.

Hi TED. Thanks for stopping in and the note about the posters on the wall. I put up two more (NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST with the combo FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER / CURSE OF THE VOODOO) in the hall today, but they are hard to photograph. I'm so excited to have posters up again.
Here's a bonus mini-post:
MASTERS OF THE GRIND:
Zowie! This is a poster for an apparently unfinished video documentary on grindhouse movies and their makers. Wow, you've got Ilsa, Werewolves on Wheels, Invasion of the Blood Farmers, and many others represented on the poster. I hope it gets completed and released. I have looked it up and seen clips. Great stuff there.

Shawn, you continue to outdo yourself. From the commentaries, to the gifs, framed gallery, and of course the posters. Outstanding.

Hey BRANDON and TED! I was just about to call it a day and head to bed. Tomorrow is another thrill-a-minute, 12-hour work day. GROAN! Your kind words really perked me up. THANK YOU. I was feeling kind of bummed out because I (gasp!) missed National Pancake Day. The co-worker who was going to go with me bailed twice. First she postponed the trip from noon until 7 p.m. Then she just canceled altogether. I didn't need the carbs/pancakes, but I go EVERY year. Oh well.
Anyway, your messages made me "get over it". Ha!
To further perk things up, here's ANOTHER Bonus mini-post. Yahoo!
THE MERMAID:
"If you can stand that fishy smell, you'll love THE MERMAID" So screams the tag line at the top of the poster. HA! I had read an article about this movie several years ago. Apparently it was a low-budget nudie shot in someone's pool. The producers hated it so much they destroyed all known copies of the film (I think there were only about 10 copies to begin with), leaving only the posters behind. We can only guess what it was like--but i believe it had starred Rene Bond? Hmm. I had been looking for this poster since reading that article. Glad I hooked this one. Only $30. Nothing fishy about that.

The Mermaid is certainly a keeper.
Well done, sir!

Hi TED! I'm glad you were as much hooked on THE MERMAID as i was. I actually went back and bought a second copy from the same dealer...just for future whatever!
Thanks for saying HELLO.
Here's a BONUS mini-post:
KILL BILL VOL. 2:
I love Tarantino, but believe it or not, I have NOT seen the KILL BILL flicks. Still, I picked this up tonight from one of Rich's auction. I've seen much talk on the KILL BILL films (and posters) on APF. This is not the most exciting poster, but I'm sure I'll be pleased to have it once I finally see the film.

Ah, another fan of THE MERMAID.It is a fun and colorful poster. I'm glad you like it, STEVE. Ugh...had to take a sleeping pill last night and Im groggy...but need to get up ASAP as its another glamorous work day. O' the joy...
Here's a quick mini-bonus:
HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II:
I love the first two HELLRAISER films (after that, they really started going downhill quickly...). Part 2 may even be my favorite. I already have the poster for two, but picked this up last night from one of Rich's auctions. Thank you, Rich.

HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II:

Total agreement.
I liked the second one a bit more than the first and the followups certainly suck.
cheers

I also think HRII was better than the first. A bigger budget and better special FX and look overall. I dont even think Ive seen any of the series past this sequel. No interest, really.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/The%20Mermaid_zpswwuei60l.jpg)
Maybe mermaids destroyed the film, but spared some of the posters so the legend lives on.
Nice win.

But it is a cool looking poster.

Good morning, TED and JEFF. Okay. It is unanimous. HELLRAISER 2 is better than HELLRAISER 1. >:D
BRANDON, another MERMAID poster fin...er, fan. Hooray!
Gents, thank you all for visiting. UGH. I have to get ready to go to work now. I'm sooooo tired. But here's yet ANOTHER mini-post:
THE UNKNOWN:
This is a cool and colorful stone litho from 1946. I have no idea what the flick is like---but it looked quasi-suspenseful/horror-ish and the price was right and the poster was nifty. SOLD!

Very cool poster from a film I hadn't heard of.
Found some info and reviews on IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039067/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039067/)
-
TED, how kind of you to dig that information up and post it for me. I was so intrigued and the review I read made me even more curious, I went ahead and bought the set of three films on Amazon (just a DVD-R, but probably the only way I'll ever get to see them). THANKS for that---and thank you for visiting as always.
And here's another mini-bonus post:
CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST:
Yes, I DO already have one of these that i posted earlier...but this was a better copy. Possibly the GONE WITH THE WIND of cannibal movies (Ha! Did I really just say that?), this poster is super hard to find. Yahoo! It's MINE! I'll sell off my other one some time this spring / summer (if I can find it), I hope. I need the $$$. Even if I don't break even it will still be better than no $$$ at all. The poster could have been better...but no one asked my opinion. Ha!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Cannibal%20Holocaust_zpson3m4ouk.jpg)
PS: OH---and have you seen the new KONG film yet? How is it? I'm hoping to go Tuesday.

Oh my gosh...it's almost the 15th. Already! I'll have my usual mid-month full posting then.
CHEERS!

Cool looking The Unknown poster, there, Shawn. I love the multi-colored background and the way the knife wielding guy is in that red "halo.".
Looking close at the print style, plus the year its from, I'm going to offer that this isnt a stone litho but was done using offset printing. Stone lithography had become too expensive to do and was being phased out in the early 40s, since offset was so much cheaper to do. But it looks to be all created artwork, which I love, and it's a killer poster (no pun intended). ;D

Good morning. UGH! It's 5 a.m....which, yesterday, would have been 4 a.m.. Argh! It's Daylight Savings Time and I have to wake up, shave, shower, and shine---and go to work. Oh God---I'm gonna be dragging my butt all day long... Zzzzz.
Hey JEFF, thanks for coming by. I'm glad you like THE UNKNOWN poster. Yes, you are the resident stone litho expert...so you are probably right about the poster. It doesn't matter to me whether it is or isn't really. i just dig the poster (I already have it framed).
Blah... It's already almost hit-the-shower time. Nooooo. Did I just lay down to sleep? This day is gonna be AWFUL!
Thanks for visiting. Here's a mini-bonus post:
TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (Remake Japanese Chirashi):
The ONLY reason i have this is because it came with two others (that I'll share soon). Michael Bay remakes---UGH! And this image is NOT all that exciting...

Hey Shawn,
Just saw the post with some of your posters framed and on the walls... it's looking great buddy. Love the three old schlock sci-fi/horror in a row by the table.
Always love to see posters in folks home.
-
I'm hardly any stone litho expert, Shawn.. but just wanted to pass along what Ive read on how printing went from one method to another in that time period (in the US, at least). What i really like about that Unknown poster is that all the characters almost look like photos, until you look close and realize they were redone by an artist, based on whatever photos he/she used as a reference.
I wish they still would do some posters like this today. I think it looks so cool! thumbup

Ooooo i am sooooo tired. I'm off to bed after this (and going back to work tomorrow. EEEK! Look out! 5 a.m. is coming...).
CHRIS: Thanks for taking a look at my more recent posts. I'm glad you like what I've got up on my walls so far. I have many walls left to go---just a little short of time right now to get on it. Below is a shot of one of my hallway walls. It's hard to see, but it's taken from inside the poster room door looking out. The doorbell chime and thermostat are poorly placed for hanging posters...so they are where they are for that reason. And the glare is horrible on them, but they are up. LOVE seeing them when I come out of the poster room/office (which i am in right now):
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/20170310_214806_zpsynohflid.jpg)
JEFF: I had NEVER really thought about how posters were printed until you said something a while back. So to me, you are the stone litho guru/expert. Glad you dig the poster. i do too.
Speaking of posters, here's a BONUS poster:

I just had a private message conversation with BIGMIKE, He gave me permission to reprint it here in case anyone else was interested:
Hey,
I noticed you had a bunch of poster in frames. Were they from HPF? If so, were they the economy frames or archival?
Thanks, Mike
Hi Big Mike!
Thanks for your note.
Yes, i do have a LOT of framed posters and I'm slowly getting them back up on my walls. However, they are NOT HPF frames. I have had these frames for years and years and YEARS. I am just re-using them (taking old posters out and putting new ones in). I have been a collector for years---since I was a kid in the late 1970s. I bought my frames (more than 200---eeek!) a long time ago, long before I ever knew about APF (I've only been a member for 2 years now). I've heard good things about HPF frames, but have no first-hand knowledge. Sorry.
But I do appreciate your asking.
CHEERS!
Sounds like you have an interesting collection and from the posters I've scene posted. Looks good!
Are the frames archival quality?
No, I do not believe so. When i bought them, that never entered my mind. The backing boards are just standard foam core---NOT acid free. I did just recently buy some microchamber paper to lay between the poster and the foam core backing board to reduce any acid damage:
https://www.bagsunlimited.com/product/7408/microchamber-paper
It just arrived this past weekend, so i'll soon be opening all of my framed posters AGAIN and adding it (well, i only have 100 sheets --so expensive--at the moment. I'll have to get more later...)
Good luck.
CHEERS!
Did you notice any damage from the regular foam board? I might do the same and get the microchamber paper too then...
Well, yes I think so. But you have to understand that I had posters in the frames for YEARS--like 10 years in some cases. I did notice little blotches of discoloration/yellowing where I was sure there were none before. It would be too costly to replace all of my backing boards with acid-free ones. I am hoping the microchamber paper will act as a barrier and do the job an acid-free backing board would.
Thanks again and GOOD LUCK to you.
I think I'll stick with the acid free backings then.
I don't blame you. If I had it to do all over again or was just starting out, I'd go with acid-free backing boards, too. Good luck!
Thank you BIGMIKE for letting me repost this. I thought someone out there may find this helpful, should they happen to stumble in here and see it.
Tomorrow (the 15th) is my regular post. I'd also include a quick mini-post, but I want to go see the new KONG movie...and it starts in less than 30 minutes. EEEK!
Catch ya later!

It's the regular middle of the month Shock-O-Rama poster post. How has your month been so far? March-y?
I experienced a SHOCKING thing today. I went to the movies to see KONG: SKULL ISLAND (It was okay---not bad, but not great). While there, i noticed one wall that normally has posters for coming attractions was under construction. There were free standing digital "posters" in the lobby and I had a sinking feeling. Yes, when I inquired, the wall of posters was getting a digital overhaul. Isn't that great? NO! Golly, it looks like the age of PAPER posters is coming to an end sooner than i thought. Blah...
Anyway, here is another less than WOW-able offering. The April posts (already under construction) will be better. I promise. Here's what I have for the moment. There is at least a gem or two in here, though. Take a look or don't:
CANDY:
I've always wanted to see this flick, although I hear it is a star-studded disastrous MESS.When I saw the poster available, i jumped on...then realized, after it was mine, that it was NOT the style I wanted to get. D'oh! Oh well...

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gifs/vertigozoom.gif)
CLASS REUNION:
Not a great poster, but a poster for a movie written by ED WOOD. Thumbs up for that (although the movie probably sucks).

EVA:
I always thought it was Adam and EVE. Oh well....forbidden fruit. poster-style.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/EVA_zps599c8tri.jpg)
WHAT!?! Oh my stars! A movie poster gets censored by Photobucket. Here's a copy of the same poster found on the 'net (but mine is in English):

THE WORM EATERS:
I may already have this poster--probably I do--and I know I have a Ted V. Mikels-autographed press book (thanks to Ari. Bless you, my son). You can't go wrong with a WORM EATER one sheet. This doesn't seem like a typical Mikels film...although both he and his son have cameos in the film, it's obvious this is someone else's project with just Mikels' backing. Still a cool (and unusual) piece of psychotronic movie making. Must be seen to be believed. Zowie, man.

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gifs/Wonka.gif)
PECKER (French):
I liked this different art for John Waters' flick. This is one of his later, tamer flicks. I barely remember it--and know I have it on DVD--but... it IS John Waters.

THE LONELY SEX:
This was my ONLY win from eMovie's big March auction (I worked every night of the auction--waaaagh!). While "shopping" through the auction listings, this poster caught my eye. Early on it was not getting many bids and the awkward, almost amateurish art appealed to me for some reason as did the description. Here's an edited down recap from emovie: (The Lonely Sex, the 1959 Richard Hilliard kidnapping crime thriller . Note that this movie was made the year prior to both "Psycho" and "Peeping Tom", two major films from highly respected directors, and it has a similar plot line, and yet it is completely forgotten today, except by major film buffs. It only had a running time of 58 minutes, and there is brief nudity at the beginning of the movie, and it is often dismissed as simply another "sexploitation" movie of the time, but it was really quite different, with an attempt to both understand and feel pity for the mentally unbalanced kidnapper, just as would occur a year later in the above two major movies.)That really got me wondering about the flick...so, like everything else i was interested in, at 5 a.m. I bid on a bunch of stuff...and this was my only win. But I am thrilled. Now to track down the flick...

TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (Japanese Chirashi):
I'm not sure I like these little chirashi things...they're so little. But--zowie! Texas Chainsaw Massacre! CLAS-SICK!

HALLOWEEN (Japanese Chirashi):
HALLOWEEN,Chirashi-style. These and the other two (the one above and the one posted a few days ago) may be heading for an auction near you soon...I just need to FIND them. Ha! My life is still so disorganized. Anyway, this poster is cool--but i really, REALLY need to get rid of a LOT of my posters. Hmm. Maybe I should keep it?

VALLEY OF THE GWANGI:
I've never seen this movie, but always wanted to...which means I always wanted the poster as well...but never had it (I don't think) until now. I get this movie confused with THE BEAST FROM HOLLOW MOUNTAIN, another movie I have never seen but always wanted to. Both seem to be about cowboys vs dinosaurs. Ha! VALLEY OF THE GWANGI seems to be the more respected of the two and it's in DYNAMATION with stop motion animation by RAY HARRYHAUSEN, Zowie! I really need to track this down.

Top 'o the mornin' to ya. Happy March 17th (a.k.a. St. Patrick's Day)! You are in luck. With today being St. Patrick's Day, it's time for a BONUS post! Whoo hoo! (And that ain't no blarney.)
LEPRECHAUN:
Of course...it's St. Patrick's Day. You can't have a St. Patrick's Day post without something to go with it. For years I resisted buying this poster (because I hated the film and didn't bother with any of its 6 sequels). Instead, to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, i'd hang up a re-release poster for DARBY O'GILL AND THE LITTLE PEOPLE. Snore. I finally decided to throw up a LEPRECHAUN poster. I may not like the flick but anyone coming to the house around the 17th would immediately get it,

NERVE:
I have not seen the film yet, but i thought the trailer looked genuinely interesting. I meant to go see it, but never got to it. I do like the poster too with it's use of color. Will i ever hang it--probably not, but you never know.

MAN IN THE DARK (2-D one sheet):
I already have one of these, but i couldn't resist a 2nd one (possibly an upgrade?). This is the one sheet for the flat, 2-D version of the film noir flicker MAN IN THE DARK. While a rollercoaster is still featured in the ad, it's not as prominent as in the 3-D version of the poster. I sooooo want to see this movie. I have a 3-D blu-ray player and a 3-D blu-ray of the movie...I just need a 3-D TV. Drat! I got this from Rich. Thanks as always, Rich.

STRICTLY BALLROOM (British quad?):
Another of my dead friend's posters. I could have done without this...but what the heck? I did enjoy the movie when it came out. Haven't seen it since.

LOS MONSTRUOS (Mexican):
I'm not entirely sure this is a movie poster...but if not, what else is it? Is the movie called LOS MONSTRUOS? Santo is listed---but there are no other credits. Just a small blurb saying it is in color. The monster stuff was enough for me.

JAWS 3D (3D glasses):
NOT a poster---I know. But you know I like my gimmicks and I even have a pair of 3D glasses from the first 3D feature, BWANA DEVIL...so getting a JAWS 3D is nothing strange for me. This apparently is also from my friend Scott's estate. When JAWS 3D played (actually when most, if not all, of the 80s 3D flicks played my town), we were given generic glasses to watch the film with. I do remember getting the FRIDAY THE 13TH 3D glasses for F13 3D (and still have those somewhere), but that's it, i believe. So a pair of JAWS 3D glasses? SOLD!

THE BLACK HOLE:
I waited in line to see this opening day back in the 70s (1977?)...and was promptly disappointed. What could have been a compelling sci-fi yarn with a Captain Nemo-like captain of the main space ship, was too Disney-ed up with cute robots and a lame ending. Oh well. Cool art though.

MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO:
I already have one of these. This was also from Scott's estate. I bid nominally and won. Simple as that. But it is a great movie...and River Phoenix's swan song (and yes, Keanu Reeves ALMOST ruins it at times. Ugh. HOW does he still get work?).

BORN LOSERS (re-release and re-release lobby card set):
After buying this, i was officially OVER my semi-obsession with the BILLY JACK films, which i STILL have NOT seen. ha! To top it off, after buying this, I discovered I already HAD the poster. ARGH!

SCHOOL FOR LOVE:
My first anything with Brigitte Bardot. Not a great poster, but vintage va-va-va-voom star material. Hooray!

MAD MAX:
This was not a poster i actively wanted. I just know it's very collectible, came across it and went for it. Now that I have it, i really like it. And I was never a big MAD MAX fan...

Have the luckiest of lucky days.

Whoa, MAGG. Quite a St. Patrick's Day extravaganza. Looks like you're feeling the spirit of the day. Well done.
cheers

Top o' the evenin' to you, BRANDON. Nice of you to stop in. Glad you liked my St. Paddy's Day post. Even though my posters have been on the tame/lame/snoozer side of late, I did try to jazz it up with festive and fun holiday gifs. My April posts should have better stuff. I have 4 posts (2 regular and 2 bonus posts...can you guess what the bonuses posts are celebrating?) coming in April and then...(gasp!) I hope to take a sort of "sabbatical" from the buying aspect of the hobby, so i can focus on the organization, cataloging, weeding-out, displaying, storing, etc. of my collection. That means no bi-monthly posts of new things for a while (and why I've had so many mini-bonus posts lately---don't want to have an new acquisitions getting stale and moldy laying around waiting for me to restart things). Plus I have a lot of trips coming up (Tuesday i fly to Washington State to visit my family for a week, in April I'll spend a long 4-day weekend at the coast and then, at the end of the month thru the first week of May I have a wild road trip to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and several other areas in Nevada...and that is followed by another week-long road trip in June to Oregon for a wedding.) AND I have other projects I need to work on as well.
Blah! Blah! Blah! More info than you cared to or needed to know.
But thank you anyway for your visit.
Here is another bonus mini-post:
TIDAL WAVE (Half sheet):
This is another example of my bidding on things at 5 a.m.... Ha! Yesterday was a work day. It was also the day eMovie was having an auction of half sheets and inserts...which i really do NOT collect. However, I half-heartedly bid on several items before jumping in the shower and getting ready for work. I got several outbid notices throughout the day on my phone...and than an invoice telling me I'd won this. Ha! Who even remembers this turd? It is certainly NOT available on DVD or BluRay...did it ever come out on VHS even? I don't think so. "Bonanaza"-star Lorne Greene, just off of "EARTHQUAKE", stars in this Americanized version of a Japanese movie called "The Submersion of Japan". Just as was done with Raymond Burr in the original GODZILLA (and GODZILLA 1985 actually), Greene was inserted into the flick with new scenes where he is an ambassador for the United Nations frantically trying to get help for the doomed people of Japan. I have the one sheet (with better art). This half sheet is kind of...well,...it's just sort of not that thrilling. From the 70s disaster era. The disaster effects are so very Toho--obvious models (sorely in need of Godzilla to come along. But, alas, he's no where to be seen...).

Happy SPRING! Happy APRIL! I promised this month would have better posters than last month. I intend for that to be true...it's just starting off a little slowly with this first entry for April. I just got back from a trip to visit my mom in Washington and now I'm back at work...ugh. I DID win a few things in the recent Heritage Auction (one is below), but I will have to work them in during later posts. In the mean time, here are these offerings. Enjoy them or don't.
MAD MAX: FURY ROAD:
On my St. Patrick's Day post, I had an original MAD MAX. While I've seen all four films, they're not my kind of flick and I don't really count myself as a "fan". BUT...since I got the first poster in the series, why not get the sequels?
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/mad_max_fury_road_teaser_cast_style_dupe3_ES00449_T_zpslz61xpgx.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gifs/dawnofthedeadelevatorattack2ni4gg6.gif)
THE SUCKERS:
A win from Rich's auctions (Thanks Rich). I've never seen it but it's supposed to be a sexploitive softcore version of THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME! Zowie! How cheesy fun.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/The%20Suckers_zpsed0uwziw.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gifs/six.gif)
MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE (French):
This movie was a disappointment. Hmm. But i do like the French poster for it. Much more interesting than the US version.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/french_1p_maximum_overdrive_SD07575_L_zpsdwdit6hx.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gifs/dawnofthedeadelevatorattack8pe.gif)
EL VAMPIRO (French re-release):
I'd love the original Mexican version of this poster. That's not gonna happen. So...I'll settle for this French re-release version.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/french_1p_el_vampiro_R70s_BM09112_T_zpspyr2rvx7.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gifs/00thgroovybolly.gif)
I, THE JURY:
I'm a sucker for vintage 3D. Despite the small piece missing from the bottom border, this poster looked to be in pretty good shape...and this title has escaped my grasp many, MANY times for far more money than I paid for this (less than $20). Yippie!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/I%20THE%20JURY%203D_zpsbcsunulw.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gifs/thstrangle3lo4yq.gif)
CARNIVAL OF BLOOD and CURSE OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN (combo):
I saw this double feature on VHS (or maybe DVD) from Something Weird Video. The HEADLESS HORSEMAN thing is unwatchable, boring trash. Zzzzz. CARNIVAL OF BLOOD, while nothing great, is a sleazy yet interesting time capsule with lots of shots of a vintage (circa early 70s) Coney Island, blood and a young version of Burt Young. The poster is colorful if nothing else.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Carnival%20of%20blood%20and%20Curse%20of%20the%20Headless%20Horseman_zpsuw3742kv.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gifs/Freaks.gif)
WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE:
You know, this is one of the midnight movies that played seemingly endlessly here in town in the late 70s/early 80s...and somehow I never saw it. (And I saw virtually everything that played I could get in to.) I probably would have hated it---not an Alice Cooper fan--but I've heard the visuals are fun? It's "The JAWS of rock" apparently and, hello!? It's in "Sound-A-Round"! Whatever that is...
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Welcome%20to%20My%20Nightmare_zpsuolh2pog.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/madmona1-1.gif)
RARE EXPORTS:
It's time for a BONUS post within a regular post (even though I shared this on the March collection thread, it was NOT originally going to be included here.) It's a groovy (hopefully?) Santa Claus horror flick---apparently. I NEED to see this. I already have one of these. This was an (hopefully) upgrade I picked up from eMovie the other night. Thank you Bruce and company. Anyone see this? Should i track it down? It looks terribly fascinating to me for some reason...

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/tumblr_n660trWmhl1tyfqs1o1_250_zps8chqji14.gif)
THE MASK (gimmick 3D masks):
And it's ANOTHER BONUS post within my regular post. I just got home from work and found out I "won" these. (Really--I haven't even paid for these yet---that's how "fresh" this win is...) I already have a very nice copy or two of the gimmick, hand-out mask (aka 3D glasses without the sides) to view the 3D gimmick of THE MASK, but thought I'd try for this lot. They are not in the best condition...but not in the worst either. What i'll do with them, I don't know...but I LOVED the gimmick and the surreal 3D sequences from THE MASK and couldn't let these go (I SHOULD have...but I'm stupid that way...).

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%203_zps42cbzqrn.gif)
ROLLERCOASTER (Japanese B2):
Speaking of gimmicks, here is a THIRD and FINAL BONUS post within my regular post: Normally, i probably would have passed on this. However, there is a gimmick (ROLLERCOASTER was one of only 4 movies to use the great SENSURROUND gimmick) AND it used the early artwork that was used on the novelization---but NOT on the eventual US one sheets. I dig the art---so i got the poster. I've always liked the film anyway.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/the-tingler-1_zpsy6xymji0.gif)
SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (60s French re-release):
This is a recent eMovieposter win. I was also the 2nd place person (I think) for the 1953 re-release US one sheet for this on Heritage...so, having won this one was a nice-ish consolation prize.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/french_1p_son_of_frankenstein_R69_SD09078_T_zpsdwbhomku.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gifs/penguins.gif)
PLANET OF THE APES:
A while back, i mentioned there was something on my bucket list that had been eliminated because I had gotten it. This was that item. I have been trying for DECADES to get one. I had a US one sheet poster for every film in the series--except this one. It's not that attractive at all--but totally elusive. And I've seen the price of them go up, and up and UP. I ALMOST had one for around $100 5 or 6 years ago. That would be impossible today. But yippie! My Apes one sheet collection is complete!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Planet%20of%20the%20Apes_zpsldqyr27n.jpg)
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gifs/88.gif)
PLANET OF THE APES:
NO...you are NOT seeing double. This is my latest blunder (D'OH!). I already had a PLANET OF THE APES (see above), right? Well, in the final day of the recent Heritage Auction, i got a little carried away when i was able to tune in ever so briefly (I was in Washington at the time, visiting my mom. I wasn't fully paying attention and could only check in now and again to see what was happening. During one of those instances, this poster was on and ending. Yikes! I bid at the last second and...it was mine! No way! And then I remembered...oh... that's right. i have one already. OOPS! Crap-a-rama ding-dong!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/PLANET%20OF%20THE%20APES_zpsrn4f4nvm.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/just-hit-comment-karma-5329_zpsybgdr3zz.gif)
Finally, I picked this up this old thing as well. I know it's not much...but it struck my fancy and I had to have it. Of course I had to sell my car, my house, and a kidney to pay for it, but hey...you only live once, right?
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/invisible_zps2rjz2l3k.jpg)
And, of course, I am KIDDING! Hello? It's April 1st? I had to throw an April Fool's Day joke in here somewhere... Ha! I WISH that had been mine. Oh well. I was also 2nd place runner up for the INVISIBLE MAN 1951 re-release 3-sheet Heritage Auction had. NO JOKE. Waaagh... At least losing that gave me the ability to buy other things (none of which are as wonderful as the posters [3 sheet INVISIBLE MAN re-release and the 1953 SON OF FRANKENSTEIN re-release] I came so close to owning, but...). I did have 5 Heritage wins altogether, though. One is posted above (one of the Planet Of The Apes posters). Stay tuned for the others...
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/Gifs/gogoskeleton.gif)
Okay. That's it for now.
Have a groovy, springy April! See ya next time.
CHEERS!

Well done. After the third "bonus post" I thought it was the end...then..."but wait there's more".. 4 times. Haha.
Interesting history with the "Sensurround." I was just reading about it. Although as you said it was only used for a few films, it apparently had a big impact on subwoofer additions to theaters, as well as a rise in the popularity of Cerwin-Vega speakers.
You haven't seen Rare Exports? Highly recommended for the Christmas viewing list. A must see.

Hi BRANDON! Thank you for checking in and saying hello. I'm glad you liked my early April post. I hope you'll like this BONUS post as well. It's always a treat to have you visit. Thanks!
ZOWIE! It's BONUS post time once again. It's after April Fool's Day and it's too early for Easter. What's the occasion? It's the 2nd anniversary of my thread here on APF. Golly, that was a super FAST 2 years. Thank YOU APF members for including me here still. You are an AWESOME group of folks. Really! Okay. Let's see what crap, er...goodies I have this time...
RETURN OF THE APE MAN:
My 2nd of the 5 posters I won on the recent big Heritage Auction. I've never seen the flick and the poster (and film) look cheap. However, it prominently features BELA LUGOSI and JOHN CARRADINE---so, I went for it. I believe it is my first US one sheet of anything BELA. (Or is it? I really need to work on my inventory/spreadsheet).

THE ZODIAC KILLER:
Zowie! Here's some sleaze right out of the grindhouse era (and something I have on Something Weird Video, i believe). An early 70s low budget exploitationer. EEK! Because of the connection with Something Weird, i couldn't resist going for this one. And look! There's a 2nd feature billed: THE FRIGHTENED WOMAN. Yikes! Maybe she knows Steve is somewhere out there lurking?

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/strangelove_zpszl6hkqnq.gif)
TANK GIRL (Advance):
I may already have one of these. Or not. The colors look much better in real life. they really pop. I got this with the idea of giving this to a friend next holiday season. Years ago, pre-Facebook, MySpace was king. This friend of mine I met on MySpace. i was Monster A GoGo there...and she was Tank Girl. We are still in contact. Every year she sends me a jar of homemade blackberry jam and I send her...something. This next holiday season, it might be this poster (if I don't decide to keep it that is. Hmmm... ).

BETTIE PAGE REVEALS ALL:
FINALLY!!! I've been wanting something with Bettie Page. I never got to meet her, but I did (almost literally) stumble upon her grave at the Westwood Village Memorial Park cemetery...and was super thrilled when that happened. Bettie Page was awesome---and I'm glad she got some recognition for it, even if it was late in life.

THE HILLS HAVE EYES (Lebanese):
I got this on a whim. While i already have the US one sheet, i liked this one because of the different art. Adding the RV scene in the mix was a nice touch. Did I need it? No. But it's nice.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/lebanese_hills_have_eyes_NG00325_B_zpsnes55aul.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy_zpshsikufaz.gif)
THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (Italian 2F re-release):
This film is impossible to get any original release paper on, so i had to settle for this recent Italian re-release...and the poster art isn't too shabby on it (harkening back to one of the original release posters). It evokes the expressionistic look of the film very nicely. I'm pleased.

BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES (French small):
Last year (?) i picked up the awesome French PLANET OF THE APES poster (best poster for the film in my opinion). I've toyed with picking up the other French ("petite" size) posters in the series---but was always outbid...until i scored this one recently. Also very nice--better than the US one sheet once again. Do i dare try for the other French APE posters? Ha! Wish me luck...

BLOOD-O-RAMA (combo):
It may NOT quite be SHOCK-A-RAMA, but I could NOT pass up this poster for the 4-feature horror show BLOOD-O-RAMA featuring re-releases of 4 cheap and sleazy-fun horror flicks on the same bill. BLOOD FIEND, BLOOD DRINKERS, BLOOD CREATURE, and BRIDES OF BLOOD! In blood-curdling color.

THIS STUFF'LL KILL YA:
Not one of his horror flicks (I just need posters for two more of them), but a Herschel Gordon Lewis poster anyway. I'll take it.

BUCKET OF BLOOD:
I've never seen this flick but have long sought the poster due to it's unusual advertising. Instead of showing what the movie is about, there are all of these Charles Addams-like drawings about ghoulish people going to see the movie. Different!

DRACULA PRINCE OF DARKNESS:
Yahoo! Another Hammer DRACULA poster in the pile. This was my 4th Hammer Drac film after COUNT DRACULA AND HIS VAMPIRE BRIDE, DRACULA A.D. 1972, and TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA. (I stupidly sold my DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE poster years ago. Grrr.) I'm thrilled to get it. Just a few more to track down.

LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT:
After YEARS of kicking myself for letting my other copy go for about $10 a few years back (and lamenting over it several times on this thread), i finally, finally, FINALLY have another copy of the original LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. It's not in the most pristine of conditions, but neither was my original one. I'm just glad I scored one. One less thing on my list...

Okay gang. That's my usual 10 posters per post. (Well, okay... i threw in a couple of extras. I am celebrating after all. Whoo hoo!) Thank you EVER so much for these fantastic last two years. You are a fantastic bunch! I am thinking about taking some time off away from posting for awhile (May 1 should be my last post -- maybe) as I TRY to get my posters organized and cataloged (and some sent off for hopefully selling). But I WILL be back...if you'll still have me, that is.
Thank you all again.

Congrats on the 2 year anniversary.
Another good set of posters, and write-ups.
The Tank Girl poster is pretty cool. If you don't already know, it's a "black light" poster. Groovy. 8)

BRANDON, thank you for popping by again. I'm glad you liked this post as well. Yes, i know the TANK GIRL poster is blacklight or day-glo or something. I don't have a blacklight, so I've never seen it do it's thing. But thank you for mentioning it for others who may not have known.
And now, because I am getting ready to go into poster posting hibernation, here is a bonus mini-post:
MOANA/b]:
Not exactly "shack-a-rama"...and something I've not even seen...but it was a Disney poster, so i thought I'd pick it up for possible resale some day down the road.

THIERRY, it's always a surprise when you visit the cheesy side of APF and leave a comment on my page. I know my taste is not usually your cup of tea. But thank you for the comments. Glad you dig a couple of the posters.
In honor of T's comment (and because I have a few posters left to burn through before my self-imposed poster-posting exile on May 1st), here is another mini-bonus posting:
THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE:
I have never seen this flick, but I DO remember seeing this poster in ad form in the newspaper vividly. It's terror in the subway car as seen through the window of the door to the connecting car. Some things are left to mystery (such as who is carrying the big gun right near the window...and possibly what he has already done with it), all just out of sight, blocked by the surrounding metal of the door. I was fascinated by this as a kid. When i recently had a chance to grab this poster...even though it's not "horror" in the traditional sense... i went for it.

Okay. I've just finished my 4th day in a row working (48.5 hours on the clock). I need to get to bed.

The Zodiac killer poster is killer - i just added to my want list. I see that Bruce hasn't ever auctioned one - is it a hard to find poster Shawn? What's this self imposed poster ban come May 1? Hope all is going well mate thumbsup.gif

DAMO! How delightful to see you. Thanks for dropping in.I am glad you like THE ZODIAC KILLER poster. I don't know if it's hard to find or not. I never actively looked for one. One just presented itself and I bid on it...and voila!
I mentioned my self-imposed poster-posting exile at the end of my anniversary post (April 3rd). "I am thinking about taking some time off away from posting for awhile (May 1 should be my last post -- maybe) as I TRY to get my posters organized and cataloged (and some sent off for hopefully selling). But I WILL be back...if you'll still have me, that is." My house is a poster mess. I have tubes opened and being gone through all over the place, framed posters in need of hanging, the poster room is a disaster area, etc. It's overwhelming. I need to get it all cleaned up and organized. So I am taking some time away from the poster posting/shopping/etc. It won't be too long---just a month or two---or, at max, over the summer (or Aussie winter).
Here's another bonus post---just for you:
DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS:
I know I have seen this...just don't remember it all that well. John Karlen (Willie Loomis and other characters on DARK SHADOWS and later on CAGNEY AND LACEY) was the male lead, but it was the two unknown (to me anyway) females who are the focus (one of them playing Countess Elizabeth Bathory, if that gives you any idea of what it is about) of the film (and poster) from 1971. I just stumbled on the poster and got it.

Hi there. I got a few more posters up today and have photos to share. They're not that exciting as they don't really show you the placement in the room---just the posters on the wall, but whatever...
Don't mind the weird flash glare on this and others, but here is my REVOLT OF THE ZOMBIES re-release to the left of my refrigerator next to my pantry cabinet. (YES! The posters HAVE invaded my kitchen..)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/IMG_0750_zpscyb6cv5a.jpg)
And on the other side of the fridge, here is my ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE:
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/IMG_0752_zpsfxmmzbtt.jpg)
Back in the living room, along the back wall, here are two views of the foursome i got up. It's X THE MAN WITH X-RAY EYES, THE THING THAT COULDN'T DIE, KING KONG (1956 re-release), and THE INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN. My NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET pinball machine can be seen folded up on the floor. I will get that up on its legs and going eventually. It will look groovy next to the posters and be jutting out from the corner.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/IMG_0753_zpsmnqbbu16.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/IMG_0754_zpspxg9ntjo.jpg)
In the hallway, next to the poster room (you can see some of the poster rolls leaning against the doorway), I put up my NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and CREATURE WALKS AMONG US.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/IMG_0756_zpslylc8yqr.jpg)
Finally, at the end of the hall, I put up my super cheesy THE RATS ARE COMING THE WEREWOLVES ARE HERE.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/IMG_0755_zpsnvsjywmh.jpg)
I still have LOTS of wall space left...3 bedrooms, the poster room, the dining room and more in the living room. Those will get posterfied soon.
Here's another mini-poster post while I'm here:
THE MIGHTY JUNGLE:
Another poster for something I have NOT seen. Still, I like the art, so why not?

Those framed posters look great - good luck with he spring clean in summer, if you can get as organised as T is i will be impressed, clear space re organise then more space for more posters thumbsup.gif

Hi DAMO! Welcome back. I'm glad you like the framed posters I got up. I can't wait to get the posters organized, get the poster room back in shape...and get the posters on the walls! Whoo hoo!
Just for you, here is a mega-mini-bonus post (5 posters instead of just 1)--all of which i got from Rich last night on one of his auctions. (Thank you, Rich!):
FARRAH FAWCETT:
Okay, this is NOT a movie poster (but this is the ALL Posters Forum). I'm not even sure this isn't a reprint of the original poster (it was listed as an 80s poster instead of a 70s poster), but...yowza! I remember this poster EVERY WHERE when I was a kid. i never had one and sort of always regretted it. Who knew I'd have one 40 years later!? Ha!

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/FoRZgL3_zpsmdpapljs.gif)
YOR-HUNTER OF THE FUTURE:
I have this already, but who could resist cheesy bad posters for cheesy bad (in a good way) movies? Especially when it's not very expensive?
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Yor%20Hunter%20of%20the%20Future_zpsybmp4xpp.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2080_zpstyxrsal6.gif)
HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION (Teaser):
I already have this as well...and prefer the actual regular release poster (with the cast shown in a knife blade). The last of the original series was not the best...but NOT the worst either (HALLOWEEN 6, anyone? UGH!).
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Halloween%20Resurrection_zpspm59qsdi.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%203_zpschmianx5.gif)
FRANKENWEENIE:
Another poster I already have... Tim Burton's full-length animated version of his short film of the same name. Too bad it didn't do better at the box office. Still a cool flick visually.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Frankenweenie_zpssdmcvnvw.jpg)

INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL:
And ANOTHER poster I already have...and another disappointment. Hopefully the rumored Indy 5 will leave the series off on a high note. Nice poster art though.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Indian%20Jones%20and%20the%20Kingdom%20of%20the%20Crystal%20Skull_zpsctl0ebge.jpg)

Awesome new frame jobs, Shawn! The Man with the X-Ray Eyes is one I have been lusting after for a while now. I might have to break bad and get one here soon. It's between that and Corman's, The Undead.
My kids and I are big Frankenweenie fan's too.. they have both teasers, and the final OS.
-
CHRIS!!! Thanks for dropping in and the nod towards my framed and up posters--especially X-THE MAN WITH X-RAY EYES. That is a super poster. And yes, THE UNDEAD is gorgeous. I have been after one for the last few years. If you go for one ---let me know. i'd hate to be caught in a battle for it with you.
Here's a special bonus mini-post just for you:
CTHULHU MANSION (video):
I've heard this movie is crap and, no I have not seen it. It's a direct-to-video thing, so no theatrical poster. BUT, i got it because I thought the poster was cool.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Cthulhu%20Mansion_zpsfwis0sqc.jpg)
Well, DRAT! I don't even know if this post is presented correctly as Photobucket is DOWN once again. GRRR!
Any way, thank you again for stopping by.
CHEERS!

Cool for sure, man. I love the video only horror, but sadly don't have many in my collection. There are a ton of titles from Full Moon Ent. that I'd love to have, just never run across... I think my latest that might fit close to this genre is the Sorority Babes in the Slime Bowl-a-Rama one sheet I grabbed recently. It was one of my favs from the Up All Night collection.
I'll let you know on the Undead as well. I've been eyeing one for a while now, been working away at the seller to get him to a price that works for me. We'll see what happens.
-
Hi CHRIS! Thanks for popping by. SORORITY BABES is a cool title to have. Below you will see I got me an 8MM like yours...only NOT as much of a bargain as yours. Still a cool poster though. Good luck with THE UNDEAD.
8 MM:
I dig the image. The movie was also good...have not watched the sequel yet, although I do have it.

OUCH!!! Michael's is having a 70% off sale on custom framing. It was today or not gonna happen (the sale ends in a few days) because I work for the next few days and then am out of town. I also had to get to a small dinner party---so i had less than an hour to get there and put in my order. I had wanted to see about getting my 3-sheet CREATURES WITH THE ATOM BRAIN framed...but in my mad rush I could NOT find it. Instead I settled on something else (to be shared in a later post). It is on linen and the original size was 40x60...but it's a little larger now due to the linen. With 70% off, i didn't think it would be all that much. WRONG! Oh my stars. At first she told me it would be $900+. WHAT!?! I was floored. That was WITH the discount. I balked at the price and she said they could use ordinary plexiglass instead of some fancy anti-glare kind. That brought the price way down...but it was STILL $535. EEEK!
OMG! HOW am I ever going to get my other regular one sheets on linen framed OR my 3 sheet on linen framed? That cost is sooooo incredibly OUT of my price range. JEEPERS!
Here's a bonus post:
LOVE IS THE DEVIL:
Like so many other posters for movies I haven't seen, I've not seen this flick either. But current JAMES BOND star Daniel Craig is the lead and I picked this up, rather inexpensively, hoping it could turn a buck down the road.

Heavens to Murgatroyd... Are you really going to let this one go for some coins in your pocket? ;)
-
Uh...yeah, eventually. Why? Is it rare or something? I only got it because of Daniel Craig. Never seen the flick. I think this was pre-Bond. Or maybe you were just pulling my leg because it is so uninspired as a poster? Either way, thanks for stopping by and saying hi,JEFF. I'll post that super expensive framed item when it's ready in a couple of weeks. EEEK! 70% off and it was still that pricy. CRAP! I should have just walked away---but I was already so embarrassed. Oh well. (I'm at work now or I'd have left you a bonus mini-post as well...)
CHEERS!

Happy April 15th---one of the most hated and dreaded days of the year. Not only are income taxes traditionally due today (UGH!), it's also the day Abraham Lincoln died and the Titanic sank beneath the waves. More recently, it's the anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing. Speaking of gloom and doom and utter tragedy, it's also my birthday. Ho hum. Here's my Happy Birthday To Me party for one (but you are all invited). See what "presents" (i.e. posters) I got for myself this year...
IT (2017 Advance):
Zowie! This is a quick-O last minute addition, just added on between when I posted my "new acquisitions" thread teaser to the actual posting here on this thread! Someone posted this new IT poster the other day. I think it's hot...especially the clown's face obscured by the balloon. I HOPE the movie lives up to its reputation---and the earlier incarnation and book. We'll see... Glad I was able to add this on so last minute... I got IT. HA!

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%201_zpslohmmvlm.gif)
BLAST-OFF GIRLS:
Zowie, here is a rarity. From the late, great H. G. Lewis, the "godfather of gore" comes this non-horror offering from the way-out 60s, BLAST-OFF GIRLS!! What a thrill to have this. (Now if i could just score a "COLOR ME BLOOD RED" and "WIZARD OF GORE" i'd be set...) I got this from one of Rich's auctions. AWESOME! Thank you, Rich!

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2011_zpstirp3xia.gif)
PARENTS:
Someone on here got this poster not too long back. It reminded me that I, too, love this poster. The movie is just so-so (I thought). But I love the 50's/Donna Reed-esque perfect parents fixing a perfect dinner in their perfect kitchen. What makes the poster is if you know what dinner is (spoiler alert!). In the movie, their son asks his parents why they always have "leftovers". When they explain that they don't want to waste food, he then asks what was it before it was leftovers?" To which the dad says they were "leftovers to be." But what we later find out is that the parents are cannibals! Ha! The poster is like Norman Rockwell meets Charles Addams.

REPO MAN:
This was a cult hit back in the 80s...but it seems to have been largely forgotten today for some reason. I am thrilled though to finally get the poster. "Let's do some crimes." "Yea, like, let's get sushi and not pay." (I don't know why, but that bit o' dialogue from some minor characters still resonates in my head.) Odd little movie in a wonderful, quirky way...just do not look in the trunk.

DEMENTIA 13 (Australian daybill):
Somewhere I have a one sheet for DEMENTIA 13. But I really wanted this Australian daybill (which is virtually like the one sheet art-wise) simply because it has been re-titled ("The Haunted and the Hunted") and the original title has become a gimmick! It was "filmed entirely in shock-packed DEMENTIA 13". What a load of crap---I love it. And the movie is good too.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/raw_zps149nkpco.gif)
FREAKS (2016 re-release Italian 2 fogli):
I love this art, originally used for a Belgian release of the film under a different title. Anything on FREAKS is hard to find. This can't be that rare as it is from 2016. However, there haven't been many on our shores yet, and I consider myself LUCKY to have this.

PROMISES, PROMISES:
YOWZA! I never thought I'd have one of these. I love me some Jayne Mansfield. My fave is THE WILD, WILD WORLD OF JAYNE MANSFIELD --and I have that one sheet and a few others. This was on my list to get, but I never thought it would be mine. But it IS! There is another poster for this flick as well---but it is far more elusive...with Jayne laying on a bed nude with a sheet covering her in strategic locations. That can wait for a future birthday. In the mean time I have this beauty. (And, amazingly, this is one of the few Mansfield movies I have NOT seen. Ha!)

DOG EAT DOG (aka WHEN STRANGERS MEET):
Oh my stars! Speaking of Jayne Mansfield, this is my 2nd favorite film of hers (for all of the WRONG reasons, of course). The first 15 minutes or so are a snoozefest, but once they get to the island, Crackers! What a oddly, unintentional avant garde piece of cinema it becomes. I LOVE it. I have been looking for YEARS for a US one sheet and have NEVER seen one...until now (or IS this a US one sheet? It's 27x41...but SEX is spelled wrong at the top and there is no studio info at all). While NOT all that attractive, it is super rare and for an amazingly brilliant (I think) piece of trash. In this movie you get a way-past-her-prime Jayne doing her own thing (she truly seems to be in her own world while chaos reigns around her), an older woman with a few screws loose, a mysterious killer offing everyone one by one, Cameron Mitchell - who never takes the time to wash off the blood and grime that is all over his face, a balding, monocled butler who looks like he's from a 2nd rate (3rd rate?) touring company of "SUNSET BOULEVARD", and did I mention Jayne? See Jayne dance! See Jayne in a cat fight! See Jayne roll around in her undies on a bed full of money! See Jayne in constant heat! See a hefty Jayne run wild on a strange island in nothing but a feather trimmed negligee, a black eye, and extremely bad hair! Just so strange! WOW! Anyway--I love the film. The poster is lame...but it is the ONLY paper I've ever seen for it. And now it's mine. Yahoo!

EYES IN THE NIGHT:
I've no idea what this movie is, but apparently it is "startling as a scream"! Yowza! Hopefully it's a horror flick of some kind. I sure dig the vintage graphics---so i went for it. Hooray!

HOUSE OF HORRORS (linen):
Okay so this may not be the sought after Universal horror (DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN, etc.), this is still Universal Horror to an extent. This is from 1946 and (Grrr...) another poster on linen. I paid way, WAY too much for it (another snipe bid while I was at work), but it's cool and vintage...and 71 years old. (In case you were wondering, YES---that IS older than I am. Thank you very much for asking. Geez... I'm 52 today. Joy...)

THE WIZARD OF GORE:
Zowie! This is a late addition to this post (it's been ready for weeks. I'm adding this in early April). Zowie! ANOTHER bucket list poster is MINE! THIS one. I love my HG Lewis, and I have a poster for his BLAST-OFF GIRLS above. I also had a poster for his THIS STUFF'LL KILL YA in my last (April 3 Anniversary post). But getting this poster is HUGE to me. That means I just have ONE MORE of Lewis' horror posters left to get (COLOR ME BLOOD RED). I am uber thrilled. I just wish his posters were better (and more than the usual black, white and red)---but i'll TAKE it. Whoo hoo! This is an eMovie score. Thanks Bruce! I am one happy camper!

SPECTRA (prop gun):
O' man... Here is something else I bid on but did NOT need and was hoping like crazy to be outbid on--but wasn't. I bid on this a while back---and forgot about it, until I got a notice saying I'd "won" it. Groan... What am I going to do with a toy rubber gun? I'd rather NOT have spent the money. Yikes!
"This is an HK VP9 9mm pistol Daniel Craig as James Bond takes from another agent in SPECTRE.It is not his usual Walther P99, but he does hold and use this gun on screen.
Rare to find anything Screen Used from any Bond film, let alone a weapon used by Bond himself.
"According to the Internet Movie Firearms Data Base," (It has a serial number apparently) "this was the very first and only screen use of this particular weapon, leaving absolutely no doubt what so ever of its origin and use."
I had never even HEARD of the Internet Movie Firearms Data Base before. Really? Something like that exists? I probably got ripped off...but hopefully it's authentic and was screen and Bond-used.

FRIDAY THE 13TH (British quad):
Yowza! I am ever so thrilled (and surprised) to have finally scored a British FRIDAY THE 13TH quad. I have been wanting one of these forever. I love the US one sheet--but this one is also beyond cool...and completely different. I scored this a while ago---just kept it under wraps until now. Yahoo, What a great present to myself. Thank you, me! I love it.And it fits PERFECTLY!

Shawn, Im loving your Eyes In the Night OS. I dont think it's horror, with Edward Arnold in the cast (who I think was a terrific actor, btw, playing socialites, rich bankers and the like), but it looks to be a thriller or noir type of flicker. Its on my watch list now.
Yet another reason why even vintage posters can draw new viewers in, all these decades later. Exactly what a poster was and is still meant to do. thumbsup.gif

Happy birthday mate - some great additions there as always - i am excited for IT also - loved the book and even the tv movie that scared me stiff when i was younger, fingers crossed it ends up being great. i will have to grab that poster shortly

THIERRY: I am always surprised when there is something on my thread that strikes your fancy. Ha! Thanks for visiting the thread.
JEFF: I am glad there is also something in the current lot that interests you. I just stumbled upon it and was lucky to get it. Happy accident. But thanks for your kind words about it.
DAMO: Thank you for the birthday wishes. Let's both hope IT is worth our anticipation.
I'd throw a bonus mini-post up but I'm out of town at the moment and need to get a move on. But...tomorrow is another day (hint hint). Maybe you could HOP on over and see if there's anything new then?
Thanks for visiting.

Happy Easter!
In addition to finding baskets and bunnies and hunting for Easter eggs, it's also BONUS POST DAY!
Now come sit next to me while we take a look at the posters:

LOLLIPOP PALACE:
I know NOTHING about the movie behind this poster other than it stars John Holmes and someone with the awesome name of BUNNY SAVAGE! I don't know why I bothered to buy this, but... take a lick, er...LOOK anyway. An eBay find (hence the watermark of the seller).

HONEYMOON OF HORROR:
A while back I had gotten a one sheet for something called ORGY OF THE GOLDEN NUDES or something like that. ORGY is a "lost" film, but this one, HONEYMOON OF HORROR, is NOT lost. It IS the edited (and more widely seen) version of ORGY, minus several minutes of nudity, apparently. It's supposed to be god awful regardless. BUT, since I had ORGY, I went ahead and snagged this one as well.

MY AMITYVILLE HORROR:
I have posters for ALL of the AMITYVILLE theatrical releases and all of the direct-to-video releases up through AMITYVILLE DOLLHOUSE. This is a documentary flick about one of the kids who lived through the alleged haunting in the 70s, all grown up with issues of his own today. I've been trying to snag one of these---just as a completist since it came out. Now i have one.

CARRY ON SPYING:
Not nearly as nice as John's (Test1) British quads, but as a fan of James Bond flicks, I've been after this poster for a while.

CAT GIRL:
Golly, yet ANOTHER poster for a flick I've never seen. (This could almost be my poster collection for unseen movies post...With the exceptions of MY AMITYVILLE HORROR and FLASH GORDON, i have NOT seen any of these.) I've seen this poster around, and have always coveted it. Sleek, sexy, yet creepy at the same time. How's the movie?

SIROCCO:
Here is a recent "dumb move" buy. This was a complete LAST MINUTE purchase. Again, i know nothing (I hear those audible gasps of shock and disbelief out there...) about this Humphrey Bogart movie. The poster is in bad shape around the edges, but the actual image looks pretty decent. With only minutes to go, i bid, thinking that a poster with Bogart, even in the shape this was in, would go for bigger dollars than i paid for it. It was only after the moment came and went and the poster was mine that i had time to properly research it. OOPS! I could have had a very nice copy in much better shape for only a little more than i paid for this. Oh well. CASABLANCA this ain't, apparently. Ha!

COMEDY OF TERRORS:
What!?! Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff and Basil Rathbone all together on one poster? Zowie! How could i NOT go for this? (Also how could i NOT have seen this before?) AIP horror and humor with classic, yet fading, horror superstars. You gotta love it.

Whoa. I was afraid to read the posts because I didn't want to scroll down to see another scary gif. :-\
In any case, congrats on the pickups, and have a hoppy Easter. thumbsup.gif

Hey Brandon, sorry to scare you with my bunny gifs. Glad you liked some of the post. I hope the Easter Bunny was good to you and left you some fabulous posters in your Easter Basket. Cheers and thanks for visiting.

I always loved that DeathHead Virgin poster, the artwork is so striking, good addition to your collection!
I agree that the UK quad for Friday the 13th is pretty awesome, IMHO it's the best poster for this title (it's one of the few examples of 1980s horror I have in my collection).
Danger: Diabolik is a pretty fun movie (by the great Mario Bava no less!), you should definitely check it out if you can. Comedy of Terror is mostly memorable for its cool Reynold Brown poster, which is cooler than the movie itself, as is often the case with that great illustrator.
Happy belated birthday by the way!

BENJAMIN: Hello. I'm just about to pop in the shower and get ready for work. Thank you for visiting my thread. You have some jaw-droppingly AMAZING stuff...especially for someone who has only been collecting since 2007. WOW!
I am glad there were a few things of interest for you on this page of my thread. The DEATHHEAD VIRGIN poster has long interested me. I've just never seen the movie (yet--as old as I am, I am constantly surprised how many older films I have not seen yet...) Thanks for the info on DANGER: DIABOLIK and (unfortunately, apparently) COMEDY OF TERRORS.
I may very well agree with you on the FRIDAY THE 13TH quad being the best example for the title. I do think the US one sheet (done inside the silhouette of the killer) is brilliant though. It's a shame such an iconic series had such bland posters for Parts 2, 4, 5.
Thank you for the birthday wishes and WELCOME AGAIN to APF. You have made a FANTASTIC addition to the group. Thank you for visiting my page.
CHEERS!
Mini-BONUS Post time! (Only a few items left before my summer sabbatical away from APF...):
A DATE WITH DEATH:
I'm a sucker for a gimmick. PSYCHORAMA was a cool gimmick that used subliminal imagery to create scares, feelings of dread, happiness, etc. (I heard it disappeared because it was banned--fear that using subliminal suggestions like this would lead to making people do things they wouldn't normally do...or maybe it just gave people a headache?) There were TWO movies that used this process; MY WORLD DIES SCREAMING (re-released under the better title with a better poster as TERROR IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE) and this flick, A DATE WITH DEATH. Like a lot of other movies I have posters for, i have NOT seen either flick. I've had chances to, but I am waiting to HOPEFULLY see them in TRUE PSYCHORAMA some day (Rhino released a version with fake psychorama back in the vhs era.Ha!) Anyway, with this poster, i've gotten one sheets for both films (including the HAUNTED HOUSE re-titling). I am more or less done with this poster quest...unless i come across a half sheet or 3 sheet for TERROR IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE. Why? Because the half sheet and three sheet make mention of the PSYCHORAMA gimmick. The one sheet (which i have hanging in my hallway--and LOVE) sadly, does NOT.

Love your H.G. Lewis additions, Shawn! I need to get some of those. Do you have a OS for 2,000 Maniacs?

Hi Chris! Thanks for dropping by and leaving a note. YES, I DO have a TWO THOUSAND MANIACS poster. It's on page 5 of my thread: http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,9480.100.html (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,9480.100.html)
Although there are several HG Lewis nudies and exploitation titles yet to get, of his horror oeuvre, I am only missing COLOR ME BLOOD RED. Zowie! Fingers crossed I score one some day.
Here's a BONUS mini-post...just for you:
THE FOG(advance--remake):
Crappy movie. This was a free bonus poster when i bought something else. Whoopie...

Just had a look, awesome poster man. If I happen to come across a CMBR I'll give you a shout. I've seen them pop-up on emovie from time to time. Lewis' stuff is definitely some paper I want to get into at some point. That White Slaves of Chinatown is pretty killer as well.
I remember going into my local mom & pop video store in my early teens (mid 90's) and going into the section they had for adults that was too soft for the x-rated section, but to much for gen-pop, and next to all the Playboy and Russ Myere vids were these all these obscure older horror titles by this Lewis guy. The teenage stoner behind the counter could care less about my age since I was there ALL the time, so over a few few weeks I went through almost his whole catalog.
-
,CHRIS: Another visit---thanks for stopping by again. Your HG Lewis story at the visdeo story is very much like mine. Back in the vhs era (80s/early 90s), I also tracked down as much gonzo Lewis as I could find. I mostly saw his horror titles, but also the odd nudie or exploitation title. Amazingly, i never found any paper on Lewis (that I was able to afford, anyway) all of these years. It was only since getting on APF, i believe, that I FINALLY started to score his posters. Whoo hoo! There are many Lewis posters out there for his non-horror posters I do not have (and will try to get if I come across them), but it's COLOR ME BLOOD RED that I really NEED. Someday...
Thanks also for mentioning the WHITE SLAVES OF CHINATOWN poster. That's the first of the OLGA films. I have OLGA'S HOUSE OF SHAME, MME OLGA'S MASSAGE PARLOR, and OLGA'S DANCE HALL GIRLS. I just need (some how, some way) to score an OLGA'S GIRLS to complete THAT series.
Blah! Blah! Blah! YOU know how the poster hunt goes...
But thank you for sharing your story. Are you SURE you are not my long lost kid?
Here's another BONUS mini-post (and I am soooo running out of posters to use...):
3D FILM FESTIVAL:
Okay, so this is NOT your typical movie poster... Being the gimmick junkie that I am, I couldn't resist this poster which is advertising many 3D films, several of which I am not familiar with (and need to put on my list of posters to find down the road...). I wish I had been able to go to the festival. Old school 3D was literally in-your-face awesome and fun. I'm a little worried this might be a fake as, guess who has one for sale on his eBay site (tloce). I did NOT buy this from him. I got it from someone else. But that someone else COULD have gotten his copy from tloce. UGH! OR it may be legit from some festival. I bought this BEFORE I saw tloce had one. Hmm.

But thank you for sharing your story. Are you SURE you are not my long lost kid?
I could be your long lost kid, or maybe we went to different schools together?
Either way, your collection leaves me in awe. I've got to imagine mine would look a lot similar if I'd been collecting as long as you, and perhaps had an occupation that didn't involve me working for a locality government. ;)
Keep on keeping on, buddy ;D

Hi CHRIS!
Thanks again for the visit. I had to smile with your comment about my collection "leaves you in awe". That's nice to say, but I realize most of my stuff is crap. I have a few nice pieces, but so do you. I always think of mine as the movie poster equivalent of the Dogs Playing Poker painting on velvet---amusing trash. But thank you, anyway.
Speaking of "amusing trash", here is another mini-bonus posting, possibly/probably my LAST mini-bonus posting for months to come. I have two more full-sized postings coming your way (A bonus posting April 30th and my usual beginning of the month post on May 1st)---and then that will be it at least until the fall...if not longer! This mini-post is the LAST of my "extra" posters that did not make it in to the final two upcoming posts:
LOST HIGHWAY (British quad):
David Lynch. One of my faves (if not my favorite fave). Interesting yet weird movie.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/fritz-lang-metropolis-film-1927a_zps0j2owani.gif)
FORTUNE AND MEN'S EYES:
This may never end up in a post of mine---not even a mini-bonus post. Why? Because I had no idea what i was buying once again. Not long back I bought a poster for some movie starring SAL MINEO ("Who Killed Teddy Bear" or something like that). I'll never be able to afford anything JAMES DEAN...so I figured I'd get a few Sal Mineo items. Except for a Planet of the Apes film, I have NEVER seen Sal Mineo in anything---NOT even (gasp! He MUST be kidding!) REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE (No, i'm NOT kidding--I've never seen it). I looked him up and saw mention of FORTUNE AND MEN'S EYES (that also starred, amazingly, a very young Don Johnson apparently). When i stumbled on this poster, it was cheap and I grabbed it. OOPS! I told you I know nothing of the movie. Apparently Sal Mineo (or Don Johnson) didn't either. They are NOT in it. What they were in was a PLAY version. D'OH!. Apparently this is some gay prison roughie melodrama? No fun there. I'm sure "OZ" it ain't.

I have NO interest in the movie. I did for a moment...and then didn't. But in that moment, i got this teaser. Nice poster---but now i have no interest in the film. Ha!

Zowie! April is coming to a screeching halt! 2017 is already 1/3 of the way over...and it seems like just yesterday it began! I am doing a BONUS post today (I was planning on waiting until the 30th, but I'm leaving on a road trip tomorrow and won't be back until early May)--which includes the last few items I got in the recent Signature Auction from Heritage. I'll have one more post while i am gone, May 1st, which will be my LAST poster post for a L-O-N-G while (and I wanted to get these goodies posted...instead of waiting several months down the road when I "come back").
A VERY BRADY SEQUEL:
I suppose I should start off my GIFfy mini-salute to THE BRADY BUNCH with some sort of BRADY poster. I already have posters for both films (the first movie was the better movie actually), but i got this from one of Rich's auctions a while back. It's not the original BRADY BUNCH, but it's still fun.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2012_zps4ey7df9f.gif)
STRANGE INVADERS:
This film was kind of a cult hit back in the 80s. It is the sequel (of sorts) to another cult hit, STRANGE BEHAVIOR. There was supposed to have been a third film to make up a trilogy of STRANGE films, but INVADERS was a flop and the third film never happened.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2067_zpsurm2dwii.gif)
TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE (aka BAY OF BLOOD):
Mario Bava's gory horror hit that had kill scenes ripped off in later films such as FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2 (spear through the couple on the bed, anyone?). This film was originally released here as CARNAGE---and flopped. The TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE title sold the flick (and the cool--yet cheesy Face-To-Face Warning gimmick) and that (or BAY OF BLOOD) is probably what it is best known as today. It was also later retitled again as LAST HOUSE--PART 2, trying to sell it as a sequel to LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT despite the fact that it actually came out the year BEFORE LHOTL. Ha!

THE TICK:
Okay, so this is NOT a "movie poster". It is an official TV poster though, sent out to promote the (too) short-lived live action THE TICK series (which i thought was brilliant! Ha!). Had to have it.

ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA:
I already had a copy of this poster...but was hoping for a better one. And I got it! Whoo hoo! This is the best US poster art (in my opinion) for this flick. I like the poster better than the film. But the film has its merits as well. Hopefully I'll get it up on my walls some day.

ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA:
Oops! Both of these came available right around the same time. This one is clearly not as in good of shape as the previous one. But it was going cheap when I put in a snipe...never dreaming I'd end up with it for so little. This will eventually be resold down the line.

PEEPING TOM (British one sheet):
Here is the third poster I "won" from Heritage's most recent signature auction. (the 1st and 2nd were on posts from April 1st and April 3rd). I need to give this flick another chance. I know it is considered a classic. I saw it once (back in the VHS era) and found it quite dull...and probably watched the thing on fast-forward instead of giving it a proper chance.

GHIDRAH: THE THREE-HEADED MONSTER:
Yet ANOTHER step closer to getting my GODZILLA poster collection (from the original GODZILLA up through GODZILLA 1985--although I do have some of the later GODZIILA's as well.) completed. I still have SEVERAL to go. But filling the hole with the first GHIDRAH (who later spelled his name "Ghidorah"--what's up with that?) was HUGE to me. Hoorah! Give a three-headed fire-breathing ROAR!!!!

BLACK CAESAR:
Ooooo. I LOVE my blaxploitation flick posters. I have the pretty much all of them that i truly wanted to get (Anyone got a BLACKENSTEIN/BLACK FRANKENSTEIN?). This was on a lower tier of things to get...but the price was right and I nabbed it.

DR. SATAN'S SHRIEKS IN THE NIGHT SHOW (Spook Show):
This is the 4th item I won on the most recent Heritage Signature Auction. I am super excited about it, despite the fact it is a 40x60 (my first of that size in all of the 40+ years I've been collecting. Really.) and on linen (blah). Golly, my first spook show poster. How FUN!

TOBOR (Italian 2 foglio):
My last poster for this post is also the 5th and final item I won from Heritage's big auction. I love the art on this Italian release for TOBOR. I'm amazed I got anything TOBOR. Zowie! However, of the 5 posters I scored...I wish I had NOT gotten them and, instead, held out for the two posters I really wanted most of all (THE INVISIBLE MAN 3-sheet re-release and the SON OF FRANKENSTEIN re-release). I was 2nd place bidder on BOTH. Had I gotten them, I wouldn't have gotten the 5 I did end up getting. I like the 5 I got just fine---but they were not GREAT as (in my mind) the other two were. Oh well. All the more reason to take a break and regroup.

"Peeping Tom" is a pretty great movie, you definitely should re-visit it if you can. I understand that it looks fairly tame nowadays, but at the time of release it was an incredibly controversial movie that pretty much derailed the career of its director, the great Michael Powell. It's especially dark compared to the films he had made until then with his business partner Emeric Pressburger (Black Narcissus, The Red Shoes, Tales of Hoffmann, etc...), which won numerous awards and delighted both audience and critics.
"Strange Invaders" is such a quirky 1980s retro-sci-fi flick, I have a soft spot for that movie. The practical effects were really cool in that one.
I've always liked that Italian poster for "Tobor the Great", good purchase!

BENJAMIN! Welcome back to my thread. I'm glad there was a thing or two...or THREE that interested you.
Yes, I DO want to give "PEEPING TOM" another go eventually. I was in my early 20s when i watched it the first time--not very patient then.
I liked BOTH "STRANGE" flicks ("BEHAVIOR" and "INVADERS"). I wish they had done the third. oh well...
Thanks for the nod to the "TOBOR THE GREAT". I don't think many people know about it. At least, i don't hear/see many people talking about it. And you certainly never see much paper on it. So i was thrilled to get it. Thank you for noticing and making a return visit.
And now, although I THOUGHT I had posted everything left that did NOT make it into my final post (May 1st), I just discovered this one. I think I forgot about it because the photo was so poor. So... BONUS MINI-POST time:
MOUNTAINTOP MOTEL MASSACRE:
This 80s slasher is so obscure, for the longest time I thought it was a direct-to-video piece o' crap. NOPE. It DID have a theatrical release. I know it is really difficult to make out in this horrid photo, but this IS the theatrical poster. I remember seeing the flick in the video store--but never bothered (thinking, as I said, that it was straight-to-video junk). However, running across this photo made me want to see it. So i found a cheap double-feature DVD on ebay (the other feature is the largely forgotten 80s slasher THE INITIATION. which I do remember playing in the theaters---but never bothered to see either) and ordered it. I'm NOT expecting much, but wouldn't it be wonderful if it turns out to be a wonderful little gem? Hmm.

Okay--now I REALLY am out of posters. Check back May 1st for my last post-a-go-go! Thanks for the chat.
CHEERS!

It's May! Happy (almost) summer! While many will soon be dreaming of hitting the beach and catching a wave...here, in Central California it's work, work, work as usual (Well, I'm in the middle of a little vacation right now....BUT...). In between work days, this summer I want to concentrate on getting my posters cataloged, put away and hung...and send some away to sell, hopefully (and basically STOP shopping/spending. ARGH!). Kowabunga! So, I am taking some time off from my regular posting. Here's my latest--but also my LAST--- regular post for a while, possibly/probably all summer. I may pop in now and again to share updates on my home poster progress...but I won't be posting poster updates. Whatever. Here's my latest (and, for now, LAST) batch o' posters. You decide if this batch is hanging ten...or a complete wipe out.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/tumblr_nfpz1tbRA61s2wio8o3_500_zpscwhggnmr.gif)
Surf's up...and so are the posters! Take a look:
THE MERMAIDS OF TIBURON:
Let's start off this last post with a splash! It's THE MERMAIDS OF TIBURON. I already have this poster---hopefully this is an upgrade...but also another reason i need to take a BREAK. I keep buying 2nd copies of things. Speaking of 2nd copies...this movie had two incarnations. After the initial release of THE MERMAIDS OF TIBURON, it was re-released as AQUA SEX and had several topless inserts placed into the film. How fishy.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/mermaids_of_tiburon_WC11275_T_zpsbkzcdnnu.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/tumblr_nsksrvnMjD1ql1utfo1_500_zpsz2pogx9f.gif)
BETTER OFF DEAD:
"Where's my $2?" I may have this already...but up until I got this, I didn't think so (and that's all the more reason to be taking a break from shopping and spend time organizing. Jeepers---what if I already have several of these? UGH!). This is probably my favorite of John Cusack's films. I'll probably never hang this poster, but it's fun to have.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Better%20Off%20Dead_zpsnfijt798.jpeg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Gif_cb1efd_5420709_zps5chofimd.gif)
LOCH NESS HORROR:
I already have one of these, but this was a "freebie" with another poster. Love the art---much better than the actual movie.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Loch%20Ness%20Horror_zpsir7qfksx.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphygggg_zpsamxnsfxw.gif)
THE LITTLE CIGARS MOB (aka LITTLE CIGARS):
Zowie---did I score a deal with this. Less than $4? Ha! It's midgetsploitation with this early 70s flick. I couldn't refuse.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Little%20Cigars_zpsqbcwwxqq.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/b246de70c04cc6514a07a295e7b4b699_zps5vsnlxek.gif)
MONSTROSITY (aka THE ATOMIC BRAIN):
I don't know what i was thinking buying this. I didn't need it. I do prefer this title over the alternate THE ATOMIC BRAIN (which is how it appears in its Something Weird DVD incarnation, and where I saw it). I don't even really remember it, other than it was BAD and CHEAP...kind of like this poster. Ha!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/monstrosity_WC11178_T_zpszqhzqgco.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/large%201_zpsj03xuofx.gif)
SLITHIS:
Yet another poster I already have--but still fun. Filmed in the beach town of Venice, California. Audience goers had to have "SLITHIS Survival Kits" to enter the theater...which were basically folded up pieces of paper inviting you to join the SLITHIS Fan Club. Joy...
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Slithis_zps9tmhtjkm.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphykugiyuuyg_zpsgfrfcrhx.gif)
ROGUE ONE:
A STAR WARS poster gotten fairly inexpensively. Hopefully it will go up in value.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Rogue%20One_zpsxqgy6aeg.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/tumblr_n8lxrzwQpT1ritmyro1_400_zps0uqegosh.gif)
MAN IN THE DARK (3D version):
Yes, i already have other copies of this vintage 3D poster (as well as copies of the 2D version). This is hopefully an upgrade. LOVE my 3D posters...
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Man%20in%20the%20Dark%203D_zpsffb6wqkf.jpg)

PRIVATE HOUSE OF THE SS (Italian 2 foglio):
Another upgrade. The others I've gotten from Italy did not fair so well in the mail. This one looks pretty darn nice.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Private%20House%20of%20the%20SS_zpstqyu60v3.jpg)

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2023_zpsjfpy0rcz.gif)
DEMON OF PARADISE:
I picked this up because I love my B-movies and dig this poster. I had no idea this actually had a theatrical release until I saw this poster. CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON monster ripoff in a cheesy movie---but fun poster.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Demon%20of%20Paradise_zps5by90ypx.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphyut7u7u_zps38v9wop4.gif)
PAJAMA PARTY:
Yikes, yet ANOTHER title I already have...and another upgrade. PAJAMA PARTY was an offshoot of the BEACH PARTY flicks, but with Frankie and Annette playing different parts (while the rest of the BEACH PARTY gang pretty much play their same characters). Frankie only has a cameo (as the leader of the Martians!). Tommy Kirk fills in for the male lead (he's a Martian as well...). With songs, vintage stars well beyond their hey day, and the usual hijinks. Basically it's a BEACH PARTY movie withOUT a beach.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Pajama%20Party_zpshibpfvjt.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/girls-on-the-beach-1_zps2q8pzrts.gif)
TALES OF TERROR:
Not the best poster on the planet---but it does feature three classic horror stars, Basil Rathbone, Vincent Price and Peter Lorre.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/tales_of_terror_dupe2_WC10590_T_zpseyvguwvo.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2024_zps4o6smyh9.gif)
NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION:
Yet ANOTHER I already have...but this may be an upgrade? Hmm.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2015_zpsfibx4bf9.gif)
ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK:
I already have an EFNY poster, but that was the "studio style". This one is the "NSS style". There was talk that some consider the "studio style" a reprint. So.... I tracked down a NSS style finally. Yahoo. The trouble is, that although it is nice, I think my "studio style" poster is nicer. Hmm. What to do?
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Escape%20From%20New%20York%20NSS%20style_zpswfwldeba.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphybeach_zpsyveelyms.gif)
THE TOWERING INFERNO (Style B):
I love my 70s disaster flicks. There have not been many shown on my thread, because I have had them all for years already...with the exception of this rare B style for THE TOWERING INFERNO. I could have lived without it---but it became available...and mine. Another search ended.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Towering%20Inferno%20style%20B_zpsvmdrywqd.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/science%20%20fiction%20%20nastra%20%20gull%201_zpstkecw5pq.gif)
JAIL BAIT:
Not only does this star a young STEVE REEVES (pre-HERCULES), but...it's one of writer/director ED WOOD JR.'s (lesser known) trash epics! YOWZA! So it may NOT be PLAN 9 or GLEN OR GLENDA? or BRIDE OF THE MONSTER or even ORGY OF THE DEAD...but it IS Ed Wood and I am beyond thrilled. And it's in FANTASTIC condition.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/slater-dancing-19_zpslvajzamu.gif)
THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE:
Wow! Wow! WOW!!! Am i ever excited about THIS one. Cheesy, schlocky old school horror. This is such a crappy awesome flick with an equally crappy awesome poster. Both the film and the poster are notoriously cheap/low budget. It somehow makes it all BETTER. Ha! LOVE IT! WHOO HOO!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/The%20Brain%20that%20Wouldnt%20Die_zpsfeotuu53.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Y9VOE_zpsrv7raskm.gif)
BEDLAM:
Finally, here is the poster for the VAL LEWTON produced BORIS KARLOFF shocker from 1946, BEDLAM. While it has some issues (and was listed as VERY GOOD, but I think it should have been GOOD-VERY GOOD), it still has an overall nice presentation. I think it would look great framed and on the wall. I believe this my first piece associated with Val Lewton and it's always groovy scoring a vintage Karloff piece. From one of Bruce's recent auctions--THANK YOU, BRUCE! Cha-cha-cha!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/bedlam_styleA_WC11270_T_zpsazp10k4o.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/MD8tebu_zpstotx0h6c.gif)
So that's it for the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show for a while. As I said, i'll be around now and again. I'll post updates on my poster room, hanging posters, organizing, etc. Feel free to send me a note if you have questions or just want to say hello.
Have a groovy summer! I'll see you in the fall sometime (hopefully).
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/FJDA1b_zpsrzwebai2.gif)
CHEERS!
-
Congrats on scoring Bedlam (one of my favs, I have it framed on my wall) and Brain That Wouldn't Die (I always loved that Reynold Brown artwork, just wish it was in color)!
-
I've been wanting to get a nice copy of The Brain That Wouldn't Die for ages now----would love to start a Brain mini-collection (Brain-Eaters, The Brain, etc). People, in their carelessness, constantly misspell my name Brain (from Brian)---would love to just have a wall of these.
Congrats on the pickup---very nice!
-
Hey buddy,
I literally just ordered a Slithis less than twelve hours ago....get outta my brain! That Brain/Die looks to be in killer condition, love the Better Off Dead and House/SS as well.
Congrats! thumbsup.gif
-
Shawn, I think you can rest assured that studio style onesheets are not reprints or any kind of reproduction. There is at least one thread here on APF that discusses a bit of the history them and the NSS style. thumbsup.gif

I can show you (Shawn) an NSS & a studio style of the same title when you are stinking up my office

Hi there all. Thanks for visiting. I'm still on my vacation, so I apologize for not responding sooner.
BENJAMIN: Thank you for stopping in and saying hello. Glad you like some of the posters. I, too, wish THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE was in color . Drat it all. I saw your BEDLAM poster when you posted it your GORGEOUS BODY STEALERS poster. I didn't want to say anything then...but I can not wait to get mine framed as well.
HEPCATPUNK Hey Brain...er, BRIAN! Thanks for visiting the thread. A BRAIN collection is a cool idea, Share it with us if it comes to fruition. I'd love to see what titles you unearth. CHEERS!
CHRIS: I'm telling you, you are either my long-lost son or evil (and crazy younger) twin. Wonder SLITHIS powers activate! (You won't get that reference, but it amuses the hell outta me). Congrats on the SLITHIS. Glad you also liked the BRAIN/DIE, BETTER OFF DEAD and HOUSE/SS posters as well. It's always nice to see you hear on the thread.
JEFF: Thanks for the calming words. Perhaps NSS posters are more desirable than studio posters? Whatever---I'll eventually pick an EFNY poster (NSS or studio) and go with it from there.
RICH:,,, when you are stinking up my office
I probably DID stink up your office. I was sooooo hot and sweaty today.
That brings me to this... As I said, I am still on my little vacation. I'm in Las Vegas currently and today I had the amazing pleasure of meeting our friend Rich (MoviePosterBid.Com). Rich was kind enough to chat for a while, show me his amazing, poster-packed warehouse, and share some of his treasured personal collection with me. How super fab! Here we are below with a peek at his warehouse:

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/IMG_2774_zps8qnhtobj.jpg)
Thanks again, Rich---and thank you everyone else who visited.
Cheers!
-
I hope you purchased a few wares off Rich when you were there - i know you said no more poster buys for a bit but surely this one time could you just have broken that rule a little bit
Great to see members for APF catching up in the flesh - next time i am in the states i must meet a few of you
Enjoy your break mate and Rich get that next auction going, looks like there are a few to sell in the background haha thumbsup.gif
-
Looks like a fun visit, Shawn.
You look to be towering over Rich. Did you overtake him and flee with armfuls of posters? ;D
-
it was nice to have you over Shawn. Too bad you didn't have enough time to look for stuff to take home (aside from picking up your auction wins)
and darnit, I showed you all that other stuff.. I forgot to show you a studio & nss poster side by side
-
DAMO and JEFF, as much as I would have liked to, I did NOT go shopping. I didn't have time to shop. I had friends back at the hotel waiting for me to get back. I was only there about an hour.
RICH: No worries about not showing me the NSS vs studio comparison. I can do that with my two ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK posters. But, again, it was a great pleasure to meet you.
Thanks for visiting.
CHEERS!
-
we packed a lot into that hour!
-
RICH: Thank you again for letting me visit. It was a great experience.
I am back from my trip (which was AWESOME!). I've worked for a few days, now I have a few days off. Today I went and picked up the spook show poster I had framed at Michael's for 70% off--which was still CRAZY EXPENSIVE! Crap-O-Rama! It looks STUNNING...and it's so BIG. I was planning on putting it where my TERROR IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE poster is---but I need to get bigger nails/hooks. It just ripped the other one right out of the wall. But it looks incredible.

I am still taking a break from poster postings for the summer...but while I was out (April 27 - May 5th), I had a few things i had snipes on close. UGH! Here they are (just to get them documented and out of my hair). I also didn't realize it, but when I bought that ROGUE ONE poster (back on my May 1st post), it came with 19 (!) other posters. Most of them I'll get rid of (EXPENDABLES 3 anyone?), but I'm including a few others from the batch here because---why not? But this is by no means a regular poster posting. It's a clearance posting if any thing. I'm not even going to bother to comment on them...except maybe the last two. Take a look or don't bother:
THE MUMMY (2017 remake advance):

THE CORPSE EATERS:
I already have one of these, but am glad to pick up a spare. The movie is a low-budget regional rarity NOTLD rip-off that played the drive-in circuit for a while in the early 1970s. There is a DVD available of the only surviving copy of the film here (ftp://encorehomevideo.com/features/corpse_eaters.html). (Did that link thing work? Hope so.) It's not anything great--but the poster is cool. (Here's the link that did not work: http://encorehomevideo.com/features/corpse_eaters.html )
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Corpse%20Eaters_zpse5pk3xhg.jpg)
THE AMAZING TRANSPLANT:
Another spare copy. This is the movie that introduced me to the bizarre film making world of DORIS WISHMAN. I had been looking for a copy of this poster for more than a decade (did one even exist?) when one popped up one day and I made it mine. For the longest time, it was the only copy I had ever seen until my recently dead friend's collection started showing up. I passed on his copy as it had red ink writing on the back that bled through. Then I spied this copy. Ooooo. The movie is crap...but amazing in its own craptastic way. And the poster is RARE (obviously) so i snagged this copy. Glad to have it.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Amazing%20Transplant_zpsrcotqkvg.jpg)
Okay, that SHOULD hopefully be the last stray posters i have to post until i come back with my regular poster posts in the fall (well---except for those random posters in that lot of 20 I'm not going to even bother with...). From here on out, i am focusing on my WANT LIST, which i have posted below. It's kind of a mess (I just copied/pasted from my drafts page I keep it on). When I come back, i HOPE to only have posters from this list (which, if you read it, you'll see there really is a lot of wiggle room). In fact, I already snagged one of the titles on here I'll save to share in the fall when i come back.

CHEERS!
-
That's quite a want-list there! thumbsup.gif Good luck with that.
I personally stopped with want-lists a long time ago. I see something I want, something that fits my collection, I get it, but I don't search for anything. I don't have time anymore. If I get more than 10 items on a specific subject, then I start a collection.
T
-
I know the list has many impossible things on it (Universal horror, for example). But by NOT sticking to a list, i found myself buying a lot of stuff i didn't need/can live without/will never display. I've spent so much money on stuff i do not really care for. I'd rather it go towards something I REALLY want. I don't actively "search". I'll look through current auction listings on eMovie, Heritage, or any other auction house that comes up. I have searches sent to my email from ebay so i don't have to search through all of those zillions of posters. I don't have a lot of time, either. It's just an experiment for over the summer or longer. I need to save money and focus on other stuff. Besides, I realize that---oops---some parts of my list never got transferred over.
Doris Wishman posters
Coffin Joe posters
Completing any poster series I've started
Mario Bava posters
Anything KONG I don't have
Anything William Castle I do not have
Gimmick items i still need
etc etc etc.
Thanks for the visit.
CHEERS!

I'm with you on this Shawn, I also like having a list. I find it fun to have something specific to look for, even though of course I also buy a lot of posters that I wasn't necessarily searching for. Right now my list is pretty small, as I have managed to get my hands on most of the posters I coveted for the time being, so here are the ones I'm still missing:
Dracula’s Daughter one-sheet
Attack of the 50ft Woman one-sheet
Man from Planet X one-sheet
Forbidden Planet one-sheet
Creature from the Black Lagoon 3-sheet
I Walked with a Zombie one-sheet

Benjamin---That is quite a list. With the exceptions of MAN FROM PLANET X and FORBIDDEN PLANET (both of which i'd love to have---but am trying to focus on horror for the most part), everything on your list is on my extended list. While I do have a few 3-sheets and few other odd sizes and a smattering of posters from all over (Italian, French, Asian, etc.), i mostly prefer US one-sheets. But I suspect you'll have all six of these titles before I even score one of them. Good luck to you--and thanks for the visit.

Great list, Benjamin. You know how you want your collection to be and look to gather the missing pieces with specificity. clap clap
-
JEFF: I agree. Benjamin's list IS a great list and I'm sure he'll have the items collected pretty quickly. He seems to be a poster magician. But that makes me wonder how YOU go about collecting? Do you have a list or do you just buy what strikes your fancy? Are there any particular genres, styles, countries, etc. that you are specifically looking for? I hope that's not too personal of a question. Thanks.

Hey Shawn,
Not too personal a question at all. Ive posted about your questions, the why of collecting, what attracts me to posters, the art, styles, US and foreign etc in a number of threads, including these:

Hi. I'm B-A-C-K! Just for a quick moment. Zowie! It feels weird knowing the 15th came and went withOUT me putting up a post of new posters. I really have not been shopping. Since I stopped just buying randomly, I have acquired one poster from my "want list" (which I'll post in the fall when i come back) and one other (below), which is kind of a cheat...because it was not on the list. WHY did i get it then? Because A) I love John Waters movies and by default, am interested in his "star" Divine...and B) I gave a little bit of money to help finance this flick on Kickstarter or IndieGoGo or something. (My name is listed in the end credits under "Perverts" in the lower right-hand corner on one of the two or three pages of "Perverts". "Shawn 'Monster A GoGo' Gadberry". Ha!) So i wanted it for that reason. I'd prefer an American one sheet---but the only one I've seen is far more money than i want to spend on it. So i got this small French one when I came across it. I'm posting it here now just to get it out of the way...
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/french_small_i_am_divine_SD08533_T_zps8tkhwlds.jpg)
The real reason I'm on today is below. But first, JEFF, thank you very much for sharing---and for going to the trouble of putting the links on.
Okay---the reason I'm taking my semi-hiatus is, as I've said, to organize my posters, catalog them, pull some for auction and hang them. I still have a long, LONG way to go. BUT I did get some more up last night. These are in the dining room over the buffet table. Sorry for the crap on the buffet and the folding chair in the photos. The house is all torn up at the moment---so many projects. But I thought I'd share. I went very old school in there as i didn't want to upset anyone visiting who may be eating (I mean, do you really want to be looking at a ZOMBIE with maggots in its eye socket while eating a casserole of some kind? Ha!
Anyway---here they are. They may not be perfectly straight (grr), but I love being able to SEE them every time I go on there.

CHEERS!

Thanks for posting these pics of your dining room Shawn, it's cool seeing all these framed posters, they look great all together! I especially like The Man Who Cried Wolf and The Unknown, I had never seen these posters before and they look fantastic. Love seeing The Frozen Ghost (I really dig all the Inner Sanctum posters), The Spiritualist and The Bride and the Beast too. Great grouping overall.
-
I agree looks awesome! The Unknown is scary as shit! You owe me a casserole dude.
-
Nice framing job there, Shawn, as well as seeing so many posters up and displayed.
You and your guests get a feast for the eyes while enjoying the feast served at the table. pcorn
-
Gentlemen! How nice of you to drop by and say hello.
BENJAMIN, I'm delighted to have "introduced you" to the posters for THE MAN WHO CRIED WOLF and THE UNKNOWN. The WOLF is my favorite of the batch in the dining room. It's not pristine, but the coloration and art are so nice--i think. I'm glad you also like THE FROZEN GHOST, THE SPIRITUALIST and BRIDE AND THE BEAST (the one in the grouping i don't really feel fits. It's hidden in a corner though...I may swap it out for something else. We'll see.
CRAZY VICK, I'm sorry THE UNKNOWN upsets you so...but I don't cook. How about a pop tart?
JEFF, thanks for the compliment. I rarely eat in the dining room, but pass through it all of the time. Just having the posters up where i can SEE them is enough for me---a visual feast for sure.
In looking at the pictures I posted last night, I am surprised no one mentioned "the foot" dangling in front of the BRIDE AND THE BEAST poster. Yes, that is a "foot" (in a very grungy-looking sock). It's part of prop that was supposed to have come from the old MOVIELAND WAX MUSEUM's "TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE" exhibit. The "certificate of authenticity" that came with is, I am sure, bogus. It says that it was used at the museum (which is plausible) and that it was originally in the movie and came directly from the set. That is a load of bull. I've seen the film several times since getting this thing and there are NO body parts (this is a cutoff at the waist pair of legs) in the movie. if anything, it may have come from the sequel. The pants are totally 80s---not early 70s. But i guess I'll never know. The gruesome "legs" are laying across a cabinet in my dining room... Hmm. Guess i could have gone for more gruesome posters after all. Ha!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/58e54d15e824a813134b26d485bf4662_zpsiz0agn3o.gif)
Thanks for the visit.
CHEERS!

LOL, you're right, I totally missed that foot in next to Bride and the Beast! Now that you have pointed it out, that's the only thing I see in that pic... I agree that there's no way it was actually featured in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but it's still a cool prop to have.
I see what you mean about Bride and the Beast not quite fitting with the rest of the posters, it definitely has a more "modern" vibe as it's the only poster from the 1950s in that room, and the graphics and color scheme are quite different from the others. Still, a bit of variety doesn't necessarily hurt.
I love Man Who Cried Wolf too, I agree that it's the best of the group, followed by The Unknown. That last one seems pretty rare, where did you find it?
Once again, congrats on framing all these beauties and hanging them together!
-
Hi BENJAMIN! Thank you for the return visit. I've got to jump in the shower, but i have a moment to respond to your posting.
I'll get a few photos of the half body thing later and share, if you'd like. That's another "dumb thing" I didn't need and regret buying. What does one do with a fake half of a body with dubious origins? NOTHING! So it sits atop the cabinet... Hmm.
Like I said, THE BRIDE AND THE BEAST is tucked in a hard to see corner. I may change it out or not...depending on what I come across as I wade through my stuff. It's not a bad fit...just not a perfect fit. But then...now that I look at them further MAN WHO CRIED WOLF doesn't really go with the group either...it's 1937. Too OLD. Ha!
I love Man Who Cried Wolf too, I agree that it's the best of the group, followed by The Unknown. That last one seems pretty rare, where did you find it?
That last one... I'm guessing you mean THE UNKNOWN as it is the "last one" you mentioned. (Or perhaps you mean the "last one" in the grouping, THE BOOGIE MAN WILL GET YOU?). I just looked through my saved "receipts" (screen shots of auction pages). I found THE UNKNOWN on eBay (BOOGIE MAN was on eMovie). By the way, WOLF was also an eBay find. That one was a steal...almost literally. It was $60 and I used my first-ever eBay Bucks to get it...so it cost me really only a few dollars. That's one of those happy / lucky accidents.
Okay--I'm running late. Thank you again for your visit. You have such amazing posters of your own...I'm honored you like some of mine.

Hi. I'm back. i just popped on to show/share the half torso prop of dubious origins. This first picture is the obviously bogus letter of authenticity. While it MIGHT have been part of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre exhibit at Movieland Wax Museum, it was in NO WAY part of the original film. The 80s sequel, possibly...but even that is questionable.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/body%202_zpsq8do6dej.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/tumblr_npqu666btc1rp0vkjo1_500_zpsknmgj83i.gif)
Here's the half-torso prop:
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/body%203_zpsvjuzc56z.jpg)
It's obviously a half mannequin..not some latex or foam rubber creation. The visible "skin" has been painted a grayish blue. One leg is broken off at the knee and gone (it did not come with the other foot). The other leg is also broken off at the knee, but is part of the prop.
The yellow "guts" are clearly some sort of foam substance. There is damage from handling/moving/time here and there, but it is still in pretty good shape...just DUSTY.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/body%205_zpsx8wdpcho.jpg)

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy_zpsr6uayak7.gif)
Why I believe it COULD have been in the wax museum is because it was clearly bolted to the floor (to prevent theft? HOW could you possibly steal a whole pair of legs? Hmm). The first shows a bolt through the surviving leg. The second picture shows a bolt coming out of the butt.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/body%204_zpsugwqhltn.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/body%208_zpsehpzranc.jpg)
And, as I said, the pants on it are clearly 80s...NOT 70s. Take a look:
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/body%209_zpsosidmy9g.jpg)
I have no where to put it, really. So it sits atop a cabinet in my dining room. Dinner is served? Ha!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/body%201_zpsu6uearwo.jpg)
So there you have it...my half-roommate! Ha! It would be groovy if it really did come from the old wax museum...and if it was also a real prop from TCM2. But whatever.

Hi. I'm back again...but this time I have questions about hanging posters on the wall. I have a few spaces that, for the sake of symmetry, cry out for posters. But I have furniture which blocks the space partially/fully...so i need to know what you would do. Leave the space blank or put up a poster and have it be obscured.
Here is the living room issue:
On the right side I have a prominent place for a poster that I will hang in a larger frame. My pinball machine (when it is finally re-assembled and up on its legs) will partially obscure it---but that's not what bothers me. i'm okay with that.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/walls1_zps8yyip17a.jpg)
It is the opposite wall i have a problem with. The TV covers much of the wall area. On the fireplace wall, i wanted to put another poster in a large frame to complement the one I'll hang on the opposite side and on the window side, keeping with what i have on the other side of the windows (ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE and WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST), i was going to put up TWO posters in smaller frames.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/walls4_zpshpngyg9i.jpg)
My bedroom has similar issues. There is a space for a poster on either side of the window. I've put up one on one side...but the other side is hidden behind the highboy bureau. (which also obscures the other wall where I was going to hang a row of posters as well). It's hard to see, but the highboy is at an angle.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/walls2_zpsqintofrb.jpg)
On the wall opposite the window, I have a similar situation as I do in the living room. My bedroom TV covers area that would make a great wall for posters.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/walls3_zpsw3f4ztv5.jpg)
So---HELP! Would you hang posters behind these things and let them be obscured or leave those areas bare? Or possibly there are OTHER creative suggestions I haven't considered?
While I'm here, I'm going to just throw this recent poster up. I do have a collection of Disney posters--not many. I felt compelled to buy this mirror re-release poster...but then, realized, i didn't need it. Just throwing it up to get it out of the way. I'm doing well in NOT buying except for stuff I "need". The Disney thing was a sort of "need"---for the Disney collection--but I should have passed. Otherwise i now have TWO posters for my return in the fall. (Usually by now I'd have at least 10 or 20 or...)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Snow%20White%20rerelease%20mirror%20version_zpseameyc2t.jpg)
Anyone who can help me with the poster placement dilemma, i'd appreciate it.
Thank you!

I can't help, since I only have one poster on display, but it's always fun to see what others do. Show us more pictures when you're done.

Hey THIERRY, thank you for your response. Once I am done, of course I'll send photos.
I just threw up a poster (in the larger frame) on the one wall, opened/turned on the pinball machine to give an idea of what it will be like (it just does not have it's legs on yet).
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/wall5_zpserhmbt8e.jpg)
Seriously, I'm no decorator. If anyone has alternate ideas, i am open to them---all suggestions welcome.

Thank you and CHEERS!

So, I just went ahead and finished off postering the living room. I swapped out the HELLRAISER poster for A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, because I thought it made more sense to have the poster next to the ANOES pinball machine.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/walls%207_zpsfkfhjyjp.jpg)
After measuring the window wall behind the TV, although I COULD fit two posters back there, it would have been a terribly tight squeeze...so i opted for one. I elected KONGA because you can see what it is over the TV pretty easily. I also moved the HELLRAISER over for the same reason...blocked by the TV, you still know what it is.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/walls6_zps18tqrpms.jpg)
I'm happy-ish with these...but the dilemma about what to do (or NOT do) behind the highboy in my bedroom still has me in a quandary. I don't know what to do. ANY and ALL suggestions welcome.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/1-2-3_zpsholxuxeq.gif)
Thanks for looking (and any help/suggestions).
CHEERS!

I like the solution you came up with re: the pinball and the TV. I think having 2 Reynold Brown posters next to each other (X, the Man with the X-Ray Eyes and Thing That Couldn't Die) makes perfect sense, and visually they work beautifully together. Also, the NOES pinball next to the NOES poster is a nice touch, and it helps bridge the break from "classic" horror (1950s/1960s) to modern (1980s) horror. At least that's how I read it! Having Konga and Hellraiser frame the TV work pretty well too.
Personally, I would leave the highboy bureau as it is: it seems too big to have a poster behind it, as whatever you put there would be mostly obscured. Therefore I wouldn't try to hang anything there. Just my 2 cents.
The wall opposite the window in your bedroom appears to be less problematic to me: I think you could either hang 2 one-sheets on either side of the TV, or put another UK quad right above the TV. You can even combine all 3 if you want to fill out that wall as much as possible (personally I don't mind if a wall gets a bit too "busy"!).
Anyway, I love all the posters you have chosen to frame, it's quite a great group, makes me want to hang some of my Reynold Browns together!
-
Benjamin, THANK YOU for saying my "solution" in the living room was/is okay. As i said, i'm NO decorator... I appreciate the input. I also think you are right about the bedroom and the highboy. It would look stupid with anything behind it. I'll just push it as far back into the corner as possible and worry about the rest of the rear wall---and leave the window side alone.
Thank you so much. i'll post more as more get put up.
CHEERS!

Good job with the frames, MAGG, and nice pinball machine. I usually keep my visits here brief, because I'm scared of all the chainsaw, gory, etc. stuff. Lawl. The last gif, with the old school film and young lady, compelled me to stay long enough to comment. 8)

BRANDON, thank you for braving my page once again. Is it really that disturbing? Hmm. Sorry. But I did advertise it as the "Shock-a-rama poster show" and being in "blood-curdling freak-o-vision". Perhaps I was more accurate than I thought. Ha!
Anyway, i am super glad you also like my posters that are now hanging. More will be up soon. Come back and check them out. I'll try not to be so graphic.

Hi JEFF. Thanks for asking about the pinball machine. I've had it about 20 years or so. Believe it or not, my mother got my brother and I each one for Christmas one year. She found them on eBay. Mine is FREDDY'S NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and my brother's is a vintage 1970s KISS machine. Mine needs a bit o' work...and I've misplaced the key to its insides somewhere in my move. I'm sure I have it---the question is WHERE is it? Ha! I'll have it up and going (hopefully) by summer's end.
I got some posters up on my rear bedroom wall this evening. i avoided the highboy (nothing behind it on either wall). Here is a look. Not exactly straight and even---but i'm not The MOMA or Smithsonian either. It's just me here and I am fine with it as is. They are UP and I can SEE them and that is ALL that matters.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Walls9_zpsxjdvduod.jpg)
Now I've just got the wall with my bedroom TV left...and the two guest rooms AND the poster room to go. Stay tuned for those. I think that's about 29 more posters i can put up. Yippie! Then i can work on my little shadow box (is that what they are called?) things. I've got places for those as well and am excited to get those together.

Feel free to do as you please, of course. It's your thread, home, etc. And yes, I forgot about the "shock...blood...freak..." title here. Haha.
In any case, in my brief visits here, where I'm half covering my eyes, lawl, I missed this great post! Nice photo. I miss the old When Worlds Collide thread.

Good morning, BRANDON. O' golly. 5 a.m. is ugly. Hmm. Glad there were a couple of non-horrific posters recently that you liked. And "When Worlds Collide" was a thread? I'm guessing that is when members meet? Ha! Clever. I'd like to see that. Thanks for the visit.
Hi JEFF. Yes, when I asked Rich if he had a brick and mortar store and he said no--just his warehouse--he is the one who insisted I stop by when I was in Vegas. I was happy to. I would love to meet others as well. I tried to meet you a time or two, but it didn't work out.
Okay--time to get ready for work. Blah.

If I recall, I was going to try and meet you at the Tiki Ti?
Then work got in the way. :(
-
Hi there. I have some more posters up on the walls, but first let me respond to Jeff and throw on some posters I shouldn't have bought maybe...
JEFF--You are kind of right. I knew you were busy and this was a few years back...You were busy with work as you were just about to leave or had just come back from a visit with your family back east. But it was the Purple Orchid--a tiki bar in El Segundo, closer to where you live---that I was planning to meet you at. Although, as freaky for all things tiki, I'd have gladly met you at Tiki Ti instead. Maybe another time.
And now here are the posters I need to post and be done with.
THE ABCS OF DEATH:
I actually liked this movie with 26 mini-horror movies (one for each letter of the alphabet) done by 26 different directors around the world. Some were better than others--but a fun movie overall. I haven't seen the sequel yet--but have the DVD (story of my life...). This poster was NOT on my list...and I should not have bought it. And...I might have this already? (Other story of my life...)

THE TOMATO THAT ATE CLEVELAND:
I have NO IDEA what this is (possibly the inspiration for 1978's ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES?), but from what research I could do online it is from either 1974 or (more likely) 1976 and was filmed in Austin, Texas (NOT Cleveland? Weird...). I found a short article about it (which I've shared below the poster image). It sounds like something I'd like to track down. Ha! But the poster is NOT something I bid on. It came with another item I bid on (that I have not been billed for yet...nor has my attempt to contact anyone received any response yet. Zowie! I hope I get that other poster...which I'm saving for my September "return").

And please feel free to bid on emovie's auctions closing today. There were several things I (oops!) bid on that are NOT on my list to get. EEEK! Thanks in advance.
And now for the real reason I popped on today. I hung up for more framed posters along that troublesome wall (with the TV on it) in my bedroom. The two hidden behind the TV are THE MUTILATOR and Andy Miligan's awful THE MAN WITH 2 HEADS (ooooh, the poster is soooo craptastically bad. I just LOVE it to death. ha!) I was going to put FEARLESS VAMPIRE HUNTERS behind the TV and MAN WITH 2 HEADS where FEARLESS is now, but I usually leave my bedroom door open, which would block the poster on the far left. I really enjoy the MAN WITH 2 HEADS far more than i should, so i put it behind the TV instead.

yeah that 'other' poster was hot. I saw it. it was too much for me to bid
you'll like that one buddy

Shawn,
The rooms are looking great buddy! I got my Slithis in the other day and thought of you. Now I just need my official Slithis survival kit in order to be permitted to watch the film!
You knocked anything off that want list recently?

Good evening! Thanks for stopping by.
Hi, Rich. Glad you know which "other" poster I am referring to. I've been wanting one for at least a decade or two. Thanks for not spoiling the surprise.
Hey CHRIS. Congrats on the SLITHIS poster. The "survival kits" mentioned on the poster were just little folded cardboard gimmicks to get you to join the SLITHIS fan club. Well, HERE! I'll just show you:
Outside:

Inside:

And thanks for asking---YES! I have picked some things on my "want list". There are now 5 things on my post for the fall so far. I hope you like them when i get around to posting them. I had two other things also on my list...but I've reconsidered them. They are below. Just getting them posted and out of my hair...
WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES (Style B teaser):
I have a one sheet for all of the PLANET OF THE APES films. While the new, upcoming one doesn't look all that exciting, i'll still see it. I'll also, of course, get the poster. I got this particular poster, hoping it would satisfy my need for a one sheet for the series. But this advance is not that interesting. I am HOPING they'll unleash something artistic and interesting---like the final poster for the previous APES movie. It wasn't great, but it was interesting and got your attention. So, because I have high hopes for the final release poster, I'm dumping (figuratively) this in the fluff pile -- at least for now.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/war_for_the_planet_of_the_apes_styleB_teaser_SD09833_T_zpsi1prwyzc.jpg)
FRANCIS COVER THE BIG TOWN:
I had started a FRANCIS THE TALKING MULE collection a while back when I got FRANCIS IN A HAUNTED HOUSE. My want list had a vague mention of "finishing off collections that I've started", of which this would have been one. But now that i have it, I realize I really do NOT need to go down the FRANCIS trail. I'll never hang them up.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/francis_covers_the_big_town_SD09558_T_zpsekn6omjz.jpg)
Also...just a few things more. In my last post--oops! I somehow put up two of the same photos. NOT that you need to see this particular shot, but here is another look at my bedroom wall:
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/walls10_zpsxbsph0ct.jpg)
In addition to the bedroom, I swapped out THE FROZEN GHOST poster i had up in the dining room with my BEDLAM poster. I have a retired friend who visits semi-frequently. He wanted THE FROZEN GHOST in "his" room, so...up went the BEDLAM poster in its place.

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Walls17_zpsqchs4fd7.jpg)
Blah blah blah...big deal, right? Just sharing.
I hope all is well in Poster Land!

Bedlam looks great on the wall next to Man Who Cried Wolf, well done!
-
The poster hanging and displaying all look like they are coming along great, Shawn.
Nice job!
-
Hello there. Just a quick house update. But first, let me say hello to my recent visitors.
BENJAMIN: I am glad the BEDLAM substitution for FROZEN GHOST is satisfactory. For the fate of the FROZEN GHOST, see below.
JEFF: Yes, the hanging of the posters is moving along nicely. I know to the average person this would be OVERKILL, but I LOVE seeing my beautiful posters up everywhere I turn. They excite me and are so much more interesting than a blank wall. Thanks for posting.
And now here is what else I've gotten done. In the guest room that my retired friend uses when he visits, on the one wall I have done, he got his requested FROZEN GHOST. He also requested no blood or guts or giant scary faces. Okay. That was a tall order, but here is what I came up with so far (and please note the TV in that room isn't such an obstacle... Ha!)...

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/walls19_zpsihzadbrd.jpg)
Not a lot new....but every poster that goes up is a small accomplishment for me. I only have space (gasp!) for a little more than 20 posters or so left. I will soon be DONE!

Man, I love your collection and this thread! Definitely provides inspiration for my wanted list.

Hello CONOR! It's always so nice to see you on my thread. Thank you for visiting and the kind words. I'm glad someone likes my thread. I know my "taste" isn't for everyone and some would call it just plain TRASH! But thank you. I'm glad you appreciate it.
Speaking of "trash", here is another poster I recently acquired that I'm not saving for my return. It's "FANNY HILL MEETS LADY CHATTERLEY". This was one of a trio of FANNY HILL MEETS flicks churned out by nudie maestro Barry Mahon (who later made several of my Kiddie matinee flicks for which i have several posters). I may already have this one (the more common of the trio). It is the OTHER two i've been really trying to chase down---FANNY HILL MEETS THE RED BARON and FANNY HILL MEETS DR. EROTICO. I've only seen the later titles a few times--either in poor condition or that go way past my price range. Zowie! I was lucky to get this for only $10. There is another on eBay for a jaw-dropping $300. Yowza! But WHERE are my other two? ARGH!
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Fanny%20Hill%20Meets%20Lady%20Chatterly_zpsjwn2hchf.jpg)
I've been working the last few days...but have a few days off and HOPE to get more posters up.
Thank you ever so much for the visit.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/b8d488e3d686b9756c3695f5a7a069f1_zpsmwlo5fzr.gif)

Ok, now you got my attention

STEVE!!! Zowie! I thought you had disappeared off the face of the earth. Hi there! Thanks for visiting and saying hello.
Just a quick update on the poster hanging. The poster room is all torn up at the moment. Ugh! I did hang up stuff one wall and the space on one side of the window. These posters are NOT necessarily there permanently...just a "see how it looks" thing at the moment. I have several of those larger frames---too many actually. So I thought I'd see how they looked altogether in one room. In the living room, it kind of made sense to have the two bigger-framed posters on either fire place...but I have been using the smaller frames everywhere else. It would be too jarring to mix and match them throughout...so i thought I'd try a single room of the larger posters frames...or maybe I should use the hallway? Hmm. Anyway, here's what I have so far...
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Walls21_zpszer9dfco.jpg)

Scored another "want list" poster. That is about 6 so far. Hooray!
I hope everyone is well. Thank you for stopping in.

It is super late and I really need to get to bed. Tomorrow I leave on another two week road trip...but this one I am dreading (because of who will be along for the ride). The ultimate goal is a wedding. But there are a LOT of miles between here and there... UGH!
I just wanted to do the quickest of updates on the walls. I got as couple of more posters up (I slowed down because I ran out of hangers. Ha!). This is in the guest room my retired friend who visits frequently prefers. Excuse the mess. Those boxes are still left over from the move and I have not gone through them yet. He doesn't mind them (and the other guest room is box free...). Whatever. I've got the wall opposite the window done (see the photos above with THE FROZEN GHOST poster in them). I have room for four more along the east wall. It will happen eventually.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/walls24_zpsacyprerp.jpg)
Finally, just a revisit to my bedroom using the "panorama" setting on the phone. The photos look kind of funky and you can see the lack of excitement in my middle-aged bachelor bedroom (snore...). The blades of the ceiling fan and their shadows made the ceiling look weird though. Hmm.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/walls27_zpszknlgv8l.jpg)

Hi. I'm in the Bay Area...sweating to death. UGH. Tomorrow we actually leave for Oregon--and the wedding I'm going to. It will be 8+ hours in the car. Blah! Anyway, before I get bogged down with the all-day drive, I thought I'd throw up these miscellaneous poster purchases...nothing worth writing home about, so i'm getting 'em out of my hair now. But first...
STEVE: Thanks for taking a look. How nice to have to drop in. I'm jealous of your winter. It's so hot right now.
And now the miscellaneous poster posting:
THE COSSACKS:
I've never heard of this one. I have it because it came with the poster below. It looks to be from the same era (and is probably an offshoot from the whole Hercules/sword&sandal/peplum craze in the late 50s/early 60s).
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/THE%20COSSACKS_zpsshq63w1c.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2019_zpsah5lnqws.gif)
SPARTACUS (Academy Award style):
SPARTACUS is a good movie, but not really my type of thing. i DID see it in the theaters during a re-release though. I collect posters that are of the Hercules/sword&sandal/peplum era...and this is a big budget Hollywood version of those types of flicks. I'll never hang this, but I told myself if this particular style poster for the film ever came around I'd try for it. I've tried several times over the years...never got one and really didn't care. Another came along, with the bonus poster above...and it was mine.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Spartacus_zpszqfneirr.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/giphy%2010_zpsathvxp35.gif)
THE HIDDEN:
A poster I already had. Glad to have another, i guess. This one and the one below it came with the one on the bottom.
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/THE%20HIDDEN_zpsbvgk68lg.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/389350_v1_zpsq6mauwme.gif)
SESSION 9:
I did see this when it came out... I was so excited to see it...but was then so very disappointed when i finally did see it. I will say that the old asylum that was used in the film was awesome and gorgeous and HUGE. It's too bad a better film couldn't have been fashioned to make use of the structure as most of it has been torn down and only the very front/center has been preserved (sort of) as the facade of an apartment complex. Oh well...
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Session-9_zpska6g3u96.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/200648-Creepy-Graveyard_zpsfqxfwpwc.gif)
HELLRAISER:
A classic...but I already have it. I shouldn't have bought it, but...
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/Hellraiser_zpsgalmaxd6.jpg)
(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/a132-M_zpsbss8ckaj.gif)
That's it. Tomorrow officially starts the road trip (but it is already off to a bum start. We got the car, went to get gas for it, and got locked out. We had to have roadside assistance come out and rescue us...even before the trip began. Ha!).
Stay cool and stay well.

Hi CHRIS. What a super delight to see you here, as always. I'm glad you liked a few things in my last batch of miscellaneous stuff. I am back from my road trip to Oregon for a wedding. It turned out better than i thought, but--UGH!--what an ordeal.But, while I was gone...what did I do? Picked up more crap i don't really need. So...here it is:
Bram Stoker's Dracula (Advance teaser):
This was part of a lot i got a while back...just posting it to get it up and out of my hair.

NIGHT OF THE DEMONS:
I got this (and several others on here--look for the watermark) last night from Rich during one of his auctions. THANK YOU, Rich.

THE CHURCH:
Is this a one sheet or a video poster? I had NO IDEA it played theatrically in the USA if it is a one sheet. Zowie!

(http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b428/Mr_GoGo_/scariest-gifs-reaching_zpsvarqhdri.gif)
THE TOUCH OF SATAN:
I have been after one of these for ages, thinking it was the poster for a horror movie i saw advertised as a kid in San Jose. It's a CRAPPY movie...but the poster can be difficult to obtain. I got this one...but then I realized that (DUH!) this couldn't be the movie I thought was the one i saw a commercial for as this came out in 1974...and I was still living in San Jose when I saw the TV ad...and we moved in late 1971. Hmm.

SUPERMAN III (Review style):
God, SUPERMAN 3 was the WORST of the series---worse than Part 4! Why would I bother? Simply because I have NEVER seen one of these posters before. I was intrigued. Who paid off TIME to write this kiss ass review? Ha!

THE BIRDS II:
So, i'll probably never own an original THE BIRDS poster...but here is the poster for the made for Showtime sequel, THE BIRDS II...which was awful and I'm sure many, many people have forgotten it or have no idea this movie ever existed. But I got the poster to prove it, baby! Whoopie...

PRISONER OF PARADISE:
This is a porn flick (hello? Seka? John Holmes?) that I've never seen. Why did I buy it? Well, I am under the impression that this is a porno knock off on the brief Nazisploitation craze of the 70s and early 80s. One of those completist purchases. I can only imagine what this movie must be like... Ha!

THE PROPHECY:
I know I saw this horror flick starring Christopher Walken in the theaters, but I can NOT remember a thing about the movie. And there were like 5 made for video sequels i believe---never saw any of them. This was part of a "lot" (like the first poster)

I can't believe the esteemed Richard Corliss wrote this Superman 3 review. It's insane. The guy was one of the top reviewers of his time and wrote countless reviews for Film Comment and Time magazine. I'm baffled.
And The Birds 2 :o I wasn't aware any attempt at a sequel was ever made. With Tippi Hedren no less.
I learned something today. Thanks.

ARGH! Photobucket has decimated my thread. While I am trying to figure out my next move as far as restoring it (if possible), I remembered an old, aborted blog I had started more than 10 years ago that went nowhere fast. While I am scrambling to find an alternative to Photobucket (and I am not going to pay their blackmail-ish ransom), I decided to make use of the old blog to continue my thread...at least for now.
I don't know if this is allowed or not---but for now, I'm at a loss as to what to do. Because of the fiasco with Photobucket, I have posted my "return"/"fall" entry I had been working on since my last regular post on my blog (before losing all of the image elements in the vast messy black hole of my computer files). Look or don't but it is here:

I am still in image limbo....but I've added another poster update page to my old "blog" thing. Take a look or don't:

Hey Steve! Thanks for venturing over to the "blog", taking a gander, and being kind enough to comment...even when I know most of what i posted isn't worth your time. Ugh. i've lost my poster mojo a gogo!

Photobucket's suckage has totally compromised your thread Shawn!

Sucks that Phobo-fuck-it has screwed us all.
But, thank the stars that you have the old blog to fall back on.
Nice posters as always, Shawn!

Shawn,
If you haven't figured out a new direction yet, you can try dropbox (what I use)... it doesn't have a native way to post in forums, but there is a workaround.
When you upload a file to your folder, and copy the 'share' link, you get a link that looks like this:
- https://www.dropbox.com/s/xkxxj84x20mnxvx/Cannibal%20Holocaust.jpg?dl=0
This link will not work when you put it b/w the "img" tags here on the forum. But if you paste the link, and remove the "dl=0" at the very end, and replace it with "raw=1", so it looks like this...
- https://www.dropbox.com/s/xkxxj84x20mnxvx/Cannibal%20Holocaust.jpg?raw=1
Then place it b/w the "img" tags when authoring your post, your image will appear just fine...
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/xkxxj84x20mnxvx/Cannibal%20Holocaust.jpg?raw=1)
Hope that is of some help buddy.

Hmm my dropbox went to a monthly charge like photobucket. I lost all my embeds. True you can embed new links still but you might lose those too in the future.

I agree. Hopefully, once i have a bit more time and can figure out what to do for images (and FIND all of my images), the APF powers that be will give me permission to go back in and edit my thread to replace all of the lost images. That's my dream anyway, down the line a bit.
Sucks that Phobo-fuck-it has screwed us all.
But, thank the stars that you have the old blog to fall back on.
Nice posters as always, Shawn!
Thanks for bothering to venture over there and taking a gander. And then coming back here to say so. Too kind. i know it's a pain, but it's all i have right now.
Shawn,
If you haven't figured out a new direction yet, you can try dropbox (what I use)... it doesn't have a native way to post in forums, but there is a workaround....
Hope that is of some help buddy.
This is HUGE help. THANK YOU! Can you give me names of dropbox sites? I had never heard of them before. Zowie...to think of possibly having a thread with IMAGES again. Awesome!
Hmm my dropbox went to a monthly charge like photobucket. I lost all my embeds. True you can embed new links still but you might lose those too in the future.
Hmm. Were your dropbox's full or over the basic limit? This scares me. I don't want to repost images and then have them crash and burn again. Hmm.
I have a few Dropbox accounts, all are still free. I open new ones with free email addresses when I reach the size limit.
Again, can you tell me HOW and WHERE you do this? I'm interested.
Thank you ALL for your responses. it is so nice to hear from you.
I also thought I would try this...the free "cloud" stuff you get with hotmail. Is it big enough to host a zillion poster images? Do you think they'll ever charge for it? Will it even WORK? I'll try it here--just an experiment-- to see. Can you see "me?"

CHEERS!

I see you and green cocktail

HOORAY!!! IT WORKED!!!!! Thanks Steve.

Hey Shawn,
No problem... Dropbox is actually the name of the site/service. Just go to http://www.dropbox.com (http://www.dropbox.com) and sign up. From there you can create folders or just start uploaing which you can do with a convenient drag and drop if you want. When you run out of space (b/c it is limited with a free account), just use another free email address to register a new DB account.
Let me know if you have any more problems.

Hi CHRIS!
I'll be checking the dropbox link out when I next have several days off. THANK YOU so much!
And now, here's another batch o' posters. I had started putting them on my blog and just decided to finish that entry up there. NEXT time, i hope to have them back on here.
For now though, here is the link:

Congrats on your recent haul, Shawn! You got some good stuff in there (always loves those trashy Ilsa exploitative posters!).

Great selection of posters, Shawn!
(except for 'Ben,' of course. wynk)

Great stuff Shawn. I really like the marquee photos also.

Hi there. I finally have a little down time to respond.
Congrats on your recent haul, Shawn! You got some good stuff in there (always loves those trashy Ilsa exploitative posters!).
THANK YOU! Glad you like the ILSA posters. Ha. Not many people do. It's an acquired (bad) taste, I suppose. Ha. I appreciate the visit.
Great selection of posters, Shawn! (except for 'Ben,' of course. wynk)
Ted! A rare appearance. I thought you fell off of the poster planet. Thanks for looking.
Great stuff Shawn. I really like the marquee photos also.
I'm glad you like the marquee stuff. I thought that was more appropriate and kind of neat historically to go with poster images, especially for my so called "blog" where anyone stumbling on to it might be confused by my usual random gifs separating the poster images.

I went to the dropbox thing and...i couldn't even register without credit card info. That didn't work for me either. Drat. But thank you anyway.
Thank you all who bothered to visit. I apologize again for having to temporarily send you elsewhere to see my posts.

Hi there.
While these are nothing exciting, here are ten more new acquisitions for you to ogle if you care to. I apologize once again as I am STILL in image limbo.
Here is the link:

I don't quite understand why it's taking you so long to have your thread back. All you need to do if you don't want to pay is switch to something like http://flickr.com/ (http://flickr.com/) and you're good to go
T
-
I read something somewhere that said the parent company for Flickr was bought out by some other company and there were concerns Flickr would go the way of Photobucket. I was leery of going that route and having everything destroyed again, but...since reading your note, I am now FLICKR-fied as evidenced by this old photo i recently came across of my bedroom ceiling when I was in high school:
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4375/37037499122_5399f31806_m.jpg)
Tuh-duh!
I don't suppose, T, that you'll grant me editing rights to my thread so i can replace all of the images that are gone? Is that even possible?
Thank you.
-
I am jealous of your ceiling collection. Do you still have The Burning poster?
-
That was taken w-a-y back in the 80s. But, yes, I still have ALL of those posters.
-
It isnt possible to open up just one thread to one member in order to modify a thread.
Simple Machines Forum software isnt set up that way.
-
Well DRAT! There's no way to fix the 50 plus pages of blankness then. DANG! DANG! DANG!!!!
-
You might be able to give Jeff a search and replace rule like for "Thierry hates "French Grande"" replace with "Thierry Hates Thierry hates "French Grande"s"
In other words replace
http://photobucket.com/old/directory/structucture/file1.jpg
with
http://www.flickr.com/new/directory/structure/file1.jpg
Not sure if directories can be mapped easily to have this work
-
I don't even know what that means. Well, i think i get it, but i have NO IDEA how to do it.
But thank you for trying.

Very surprised to hear there is no way for admins to allow users to edit their posts, it must be somewhere in settings. If there is, it is indeed the best way forward, users will then have to:
a) Upload all their images in another image repository platform (Dropbox, Flickr, etc.) which allows hotlinking (I know, there are becoming rare)
b) Go to their history in this forum and edit every single post, replace old photobucket URL with new photo URL. Sadly, there is no way to automate this as all photobucket URL are made using MD5 Hash generator (these funny code - 54dd11685d504aa2eff075007900b41f )
******************
As explained before, it is possible to fix this. It seems difficult but somehow easy for any web geek. For this to work, you just need: a) access to database; b) access to server to upload script-server file (PHP/ASP) (I am pretty sure you have this)
Here it is:
a) Backup database
b) Use a PHP file to do a database request and output ALL posts having photobucket URLs, save output in a raw file (XML or JSON)
c) Then user a PHP CURL code to open each single photobucket URLS and download image + automatically save it on your server in a folder (using the same structure or another structure). Then put the new URLs next to old one in the raw file (use a distinctive separator) or generate another raw file (XML or JSON) (Curl should work unless source code is done in a way to hide the image using Javascript, in that case advanced code like Python/Phantom JS will be needed)
d) Use PHP to crawl the new raw file, and do a simple MySql replace (replace old URLs with new URLs for everysingle post)
b) and d) are pretty easy to code. c) is a bit more challenging but should be fine if Curl works.
-
I appreciate your help but...HUH? i have no idea what you just said. I'm clueless.
-
I admire that you think this is a solution that might e considered! Editing database, doing backup, potentially doing a restore causing posts made in interim to be lost, doubt that would happen.
c) Then user a PHP CURL code to open each single photobucket URLS and download image
I doubt you will be able to access/download a Photobucket image as writing code to access it outside of viewing it in Photobucket is the same as hotlinking (accessing externally).
Sadly using free services you have no control over is a risk you take, and I would say an inevitable outcome, having used free websites from back in the 1990's like lycos, Geocities, tripod, Anglefire, Excite...

As previously mentioned, there is no way change a setting to allow just one member to edit/modify his own single thread. If it was possible, then that would done for Shawn. :)

@50s - I see what you mean, dealing with database is fine though, a bit scary but fine. Note that it is only querying the database and updating content in post_content, just this. As you said, Curl on Photobucket is challenging, so Python/Phantom is way to go. Pretty sure some coders already wrote something.
@Erik - Well, according to manual, it seems there is.
http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/smf/forum-management/post-settings
https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/SMF1.1:Posts_and_Topics (search for "Maximum time")
You can just change settings of "Maximum time" to xx minutes (try 1,051,200 minutes which is equivalent to two years). Not the best options since everybody will be affected. If you read the note in the manual next to Maximum Time, it says "Note: This will not effect any user who has permission to edit other peoples posts."
So it is possible to have custom permission for specific users, here is the instruction - https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Permission_profiles_-_an_overview - This would allowed that person to go through all his posts :)

BB, Im well aware of the various post settings options on the forum, including the links you mentioned. ;)
However, the instruction link you posted, pertains to changing the permissions of Boards on the forum and not individual threads within a board.
And the other option you mention (the time frame) is a global setting, allowing any and all members to go in and edit or change their own posts, even from years ago. The current time frame for members to edit their (new) posts is 2.5 hours (150 min). A time limit was put in place to keep posts from being re-edited long after they were initially written.
This discussion is sort of "hijacking" MAGG's thread, so any further discussion should be held in this board: http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/board,34.0.html

Okay... I spent TWO FULL days, battling pop ups and other annoyances just so I could download images from my various photobucket accounts. I was hoping to edit my posts. However, since i can't edit my posts, I thought I'd try and go through and re-create them. Here are the first 5 (and yes, because i can't edit, i'm re-doing them on the blog thing. UGH!) ARGH! It's all so dang frustrating!!!!!!!

Hey, thanks for looking, Ted. Where have you been?
You do realize, of course, that the posts you looked at were all "reruns". Right? Thanks for bothering to look. :) And for saying hello!

I've missed seeing your style of posters and it is really great to look thru them again. Hope you can soon get your foot and leg sorted out!

Your blog is really good, MAGGS...keep it up! Looking forward to the new post.

Love those posts of schlocky old posters!
Happy birthday, man!!
Enjoy New Orleans!

Ha! You will not believe it, but where I left on these "recreations" and where I left off on the date I originally posted them (April 14, 2015) to the the next batch of recreations (below), which originally posted April 28th, 2015 and later, you three gents--Steve, Tob, and Ted--were the same three gents who posted while I was in in New Orleans back in 2015. How freaky-coincidentally AWESOME! Thanks for the visits---BOTH times!
STEVE: How do you know about my feet/leg problems? Have I mentioned it here? Or maybe you've gone exploring? Ha! Thanks for popping by.
TOB: Thanks for the words of encouragement. The new blog post is coming soon. I just need to acquire one more poster (I like to post in 10s). Don't be anticipating anything great. They're just bargain basement trash this time. I am poor and, as I've stated before, the Photobucket thing has knocked the wind out of my poster collecting sails.
TED: I think you are playing with me. My birthday is in April. The New Orleans trip was in 2015. These are recreations of my now "blank" posts from my thread (since I'm NOT allowed to go in and edit my old posts). But New Orleans was a SUPER trip and, if you look around on the blog thing like I think Steve did, you'll find several entries about it. I would love to do that trip all over again!
Thanks all of you for bothering to look.
And now, here are the latest "recreations"--if anyone cares to look:

Welcome back to the SHOCK-A-RAMA POSTER SHOW. With this entry I am doing double duty. I'm posting it on my thread on All Posters Forum AND on my blog. That way if one or the other disappears, I'll still (hopefully) have some reference/record. Unfortunately, this "comeback" posting is entirely lackluster. You'll see what I mean as we scroll down and see what I have this time.
But first:
STEVE! Thanks for the visit. I forgot about those highlighted blog posts on the bottom. oops!
TED Nice to see you as always.
Conor Zowie! I hope your hip feels better. They are now thinking the problem with my feet/legs is the result of a medication I've been taking for YEARS. Swell...
Okay--on to the posters. There's nothing much to see. unfortunately. I've been broke and my interest has flagged severely since the Photobucket mess. But--for whatever it is worth--here is what i have this time:
GREASE 2:
Yes, the first poster is for the notorious bomb, GREASE 2. Why did I get it? It was CHEAP! UGH! I've been doing that too often. This and the one below were from Rich's auctions. But truth be told, all of my image problems (Photobucket sucks!) have knocked the wind out of my poster buying sails. When that happens, you end up with things like GREASE 2. Ha!

THE LONG RIDERS:
I am NOT into westerns at all. However, I remembered that my brother liked this flick...so I went for it. I do think it's a unique film in that the Carradine, Keach and Quaid brothers were in it altogether.

48 HOURS TO LIVE:
I do not know anything about this flick, but I've seen this poster come and go many times---and i've gone for it in the past, but it always eludes me. Is it sci-fi? Looks like it with those flying space ship things. Cool design over all and this one was scored much cheaper than some of the others I've tried to get over the years.

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME (British Quad):
Oh, this movie is AWFUL. I saw it years ago with a double feature of (I believe) with a much better sci-fi flick called WITHOUT WARNING. THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME was snore inducing, instantly forgettable, with sets and costumes (and acting and special effects) that looked to be cast-offs/rejects from the late 70s/early 80s BUCK ROGERS, LOGAN'S RUN, and/or BATTLESTAR GALACTICA TV series or something. I have no idea why I bid on this...perhaps the cheap factor again?

MA AND PA KETTLE AT WAIKIKI:
I've never seen any of the MA AND PA KETTLE films, but this is now the third or fourth poster from the series I've collected. Just because...

THE EXORCIST (Turkish):
While I'd really much rather have the poster for Turkish ripoff of THE EXORCIST (also called SEYTAN as THE EXORCIST seems to have been), I'll take this one for now. It's kind of fun and colorful, but Linda Blair looks NOTHING like the way the artist portrayed her. Ha!

ROTTWEILER:
Also known as DOGS OF HELL, this poster for the '80's Earl Owensby 3D effort is the THIRD one I've purchased for this title. The other two copies were NOT up to my standards. I hoe this one is. The Owensby 3D posters are hard to find. This one is probably the easiest of the bunch---and I have a few others (HOT HEIR aka THE GREAT BALLOON RACE, TALES OF THE THIRD DIMENSION, and maybe CHAIN GANG), ...but there are several others that elude me or I haven't ever seen. I think this is (partly?) because Owensby's films were regional flicks. They never played in my town--just the larger cities and the East Coast and south. I'm such a sucker for 3D. But I've NEVER seen any of these flicks (in 3D or flat). Maybe someday...

COMBAT SHOCK:
I have never seen this little Troma flick...never knew it played theatres either, until i came across this one sheet. I wouldn't have necessarily bought this except when I came on it, the dealer selling it remarked that it pretty rare. I thought, okay...it IS probably rare, but I really didn't need/want it. So, i put in a low ball snipe for it...and got it. NO ONE ELSE bid on it. It's probably a waste of $9.99 plus shipping, but... whatever.

THE HORRIBLE HOUSE ON THE HILL:
(Originally known as "PeopleToys" and better known under its third release title as "DEVIL TIMES FIVE"), this low-rent exploiter is not all that special...but the cast is interesting. A young Leif Garrett, Shelley Morrison (Sister Sixto on "The Flying Nun" and/or Rosario on "Will and Grace"), Sorrell Booke (Boss Hogg from the original "Dukes of Hazzard") and Dawn Lyn (Dodie from "My Three Sons") have somehow ended up in this sleaze-o-shocker. I like this title and poster art---which I think is a riff on LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (The alliteration of the title and the "It's only a movie"/"It can't happen to me" ad campaigns). I do remember when this came out (with this title). Ooooo I sooo wanted to see it. I had no idea that "Devil Times Five" was the same movie until years and years later. No wonder I couldn't find it. I probably already have a copy of this poster and didn't need to waste another $21 on this, but... (Hmm. I wonder if any grindhouse ever, accidentally, booked "HORRIBLE HOUSE ON THE HILL" with "DEVIL TIMES FIVE"? That would be funny as they are both the same movie. Ha!)

BARON BLOOD:
Yes, another poster I already have. Hopefully this is a better copy? We'll see. This is a a nifty poster. I don't know what it is that makes it for me---the image of the screaming Elke Sommer (knowing her career was ending, no doubt) or the eyeball hanging down just in front of her. I've never seen the movie though.

That's about it. Ho-hum. As I said, nothing all that great or interesting this time around. I really need to snap out of this funk I am in about posters right now. I still blame Photobucket for it. Damn you Photobucket! Anyway---thanks for visiting.

Combat Shock looks terribly depressing. Love the Astro Zombies poster!

I wonder who the blonde is on the Turkish Exorcist poster. Anyone know?

Hi Conor! Thanks for visiting. I have no idea about COMBAT SHOCK. It's a Troma flick, so you have an idea of what to expect. Whatever. Glad you like ASTRO ZOMBIES! I dig it, too.
Jeff: I have no idea who the non-Linda Blair blonde model was. I'm just excited to get the poster.
Okay... Not that anyone cares (NO ONE looked at my last batch...which is okay), here are more recreations of my old posts. This process is basically for me and my own record. However, feel free to take a gander if you wish. This is taking forever to do (er, RE-do). UGH! I have more than 50 pages of posts and I'm only up into page 7 with these. Blah! But here they are for your viewing or ignoring pleasure:

Also, in other news, I finally "did it". I stuck my toe in the water. We'll see what happens but I'm not expecting much because what i sent was pretty bottom o' the barrel.

I have no idea about COMBAT SHOCK. It's a Troma flick, so you have an idea of what to expect.
COMBAT SHOCK is a little gem. Troma only picked it up for distribution but to my knowledge were thankfully not involved in the production. The poster makes it look like a war movie which it is not at all. It's a pretty depressing film but considering its low budget it is very well made.
The director is living in Berlin now, shooting movies for German television.
I also have the one sheet. Cannot imagine it had a wide release. Maybe we are the only ones who own a poster for the film (and nobody cares....).

Sorry, I don't have the patience to visit the individual threads, but I like that Beyond the Door poster. Nice one.

Shawn, your writing drive is on another level. Almost completely comprehensive. As well as your photos of your travels. The Oregon wedding part 3 seemed like a novel that I had to skim through for the sake of time. The history info. and building photos are great. As for the wedding, a bit overwhelming with the amount of content, granted I'm not a big wedding guy. A lot of interesting stuff. Well done.

Hi there! ARGH! I am having more trouble trying to restore my thread. GRR! All of the previous links are no longer valid. I m0ved all of the poster stuff (the recreations were taking over the regular blog) to their own poster page. What a PAIN! Anyway...
POSTEROID: Thanks for the great info. I'll have to track down COMBAT SHOCK and give it a watch.
THIERRY: No worries about not clicking the thread links. For they most part they've been re-runs of my earlier posts which are now in ruins thanks to Photobucket. However, a few were "new" posts. This one ( https://mymoviepostercollectionagogo.blogspot.com/2017/07/movie-posters-go-go.html (https://mymoviepostercollectionagogo.blogspot.com/2017/07/movie-posters-go-go.html) ) was supposed to have been my return from my summer break...before i got mired in the whole Photobucket fiasco. It has a few good pieces I wish i had been able to share properly.
BRANDON: Thanks for the visit, as always. You didn't need to read anything else on the blog (that was another reason i separated them), but thanks for the feedback. Always nice to have you visit.
Not that anyone cares, but here are the corrected links:

Saw this on Facebook:
Quick tip for everyone who still likes to frequent the collector forums, earlier this year photobucket in their infinite wisdom decided to disable 3rd party links and extort their users meaning years of work and millions of photos on forums across the web lost their pics. Someone has delivered the big middle finger to photobucket and made an extension for Chrome and Firefox which allows you to view the linked photos again. I just installed it and it works a treat. Of course if the photobucket account has since been deleted it won't work but many left theirs intact in case such a thing was sorted. Look up photobucket embed fix on the google store.

Happy (almost) Halloween. Despite the fact that the posters today are not very Halloween-y (some are, some aren't), it's the best I've got for the moment. (I'm still not back into full-blown poster mode...). Let's take a look...

WRISTCUTTERS: A LOVE STORY:
I have NO IDEA what this is about. But the title was unusual (and obscure) enough to provoke a little interest and pick this up for a bargain price. One (of several below) from Rich's auctions.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J9WTlgC18O8/WeLiYOb9qLI/AAAAAAAAFj4/mRGCnSPe2qMukjEk4N9NjP3SQX7tDOlBQCLcBGAs/s640/Wristcutters.jpg)

NIGHT SHIFT:
A comedy that takes place in a morgue. I know I saw it, but don't recall it that well. I'm guessing they run a call girl service from the morgue? Henry (The Fonz) Winkler, Michael (Batman) Keaton, and Shelley (Cheers) Long star. It was a mild hit as I recall.

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA:
With the success of the musical version on Broadway and Robert Englund in the midst of the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET series, it was no wonder this gory version of PHANTOM popped up. I saw it. It was okay. Today it seems forgotten.

THE DARK TOWER:
I read all of the books in this incredibly long series and was curious how they'd do the movie. Idris Elba was already wrong for the part (or so I had thought) because he was NOT the gunslinger described in the books. I could see Matthew McConaughey as the Man in Black though. But how could they possible make a movie out of the books? Although it flopped, I thought it was very well done. I liked it. I also instantly believed Elba was The Gunslinger after only a few minutes. Oh well. I guess there will not be any more. But I DID enjoy it.

BLADE RUNNER 2049:
I was super pleased to walk into that little theater in Oak Harbor and find this poster. I have not seen the flick yet, but hope the film (and thus the poster) become a cult hit down the road (as I know the movie itself tanked). Despite the fact that the poster was rolled and in a plastic sleeve, I realized (once i was home) that a corner was ripped off of it. ARGH! Oh well. I'll have to look for another...

SLEEPAWAY CAMP:
Did I have one of these already? I kind of don't think so, so i am elated to have this. Yes, SLEEPAWAY CAMP isn't as notorious today as it once was. It was a basic FRIDAY THE 13TH rip-off with a brilliant twist ending. The initial 2 sequels did nothing for the series and the belated third was okay--but did many people see it? anyway--yahoo! I have a SLEEPAWAY CAMP poster finally!

WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES (Style C):
I just got back from visiting family in Washington state on Whidbey Island in the town of Coupeville. in the next town up, Oak Harbor, there is a small theater. They were selling posters for $5 each. Zowie! I picked this one up and THE DARK TOWER. I also picked up two others below (and am not happy with). I had already had a WAR FTPOTA poster, but this style is a little more interesting (even though I felt the movie was really milking the franchise and didn't offer that much new to the series).

IT:
I already have an IT poster and I am glad that I do. This was also a purchase from the small theater in Washington. It was also rolled and in a plastic sleeve, apparently unused. WRONG! Both top corners had obviously been stapled and the poster had just been pulled off of the wall, so both corners are ripped off and there are jagged tears across the top, like Pennywise took a bite of the top. Swell... Trick or treat? I got tricked...twice. Oh well.

Hi there. Happy post Halloween. EEEK! Did everyone survive?
TED: You live right down the way from SLEEPAWAY CAMP? Awesome!
I'm sick (AGAIN) and had to work and had a MISERABLE Halloween myself. (You can read about it here https://monsterago-go.blogspot.com/2017/11/the-horror-of-having-to-dress-up-for.html (https://monsterago-go.blogspot.com/2017/11/the-horror-of-having-to-dress-up-for.html) or spare yourself and just look at the photos OR just avoid it altogether) But onward, right? Halloween is behind us and it's a new day...and it's (surprisingly) time for a new poster update! (It's surprising because up until about an hour ago I only had two new posters to share. And then I won a bunch o' stuff on Rich's auction. Ha!) Let's take a peek at what I got:
THE EXOTIC DREAMS OF CASANOVA:
I've never seen this, but it is from the same era as my EROTIC ADVENTURES OF ZORRO poster and I thought they would complement each other should I ever hang them together. Although why Santa Claus makes an appearance on the poster is beyond me. Ha!

AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY:
I loved the AUSTIN POWERS series, especially the FIRST one. I had never seen this version of the poster before, but ooo la la, the Fembots are all over Austin. Zowie! Cool poster. Ya gotta love it, baby!

BATTLEFIELD EARTH:
I've never seen this, but I'm kind of itching too. This multiple Razzie winner is supposed to be B-A-D, like supersonically stink-o-matically BAD! It could be a major hoot-fest. But something tells me that just having the poster and laughing at what the film COULD be is better than actually sitting through it. Ha!

ED WOOD:
Ed Wood, the real guy, is fascinating to me. He worked it and made it happen, regardless of budgets or writing abilities, directorial skills, or talent. And then there's the transvestism and angora sweater obsession. I only have a couple of posters for Ed Wood films (none of them the really "good" ones, though). Tim Burton's version was fun. I already have a copy of this poster but having another copy doesn't hurt.

FREDDY'S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE:
The last (NOT) of the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET series was not the "best" as stated on the poster. It was actually kind of sucky. I do love the faux 3D look of Freddy seemingly emerging out of the poster. The film had a 3D finale but it was more of a head-scratcher than mind-blowing. I have this poster already, but who couldn't use another? Wish they'd make yet ANOTHER sequel with Robert Englund and explain away that lame remake in some way. This series was really fun and inventive...until it got it wasn't any more.

THE LOVE BUTCHER:
THE LOVE BUTCHER? Zowie! What is this about? I know nothing about this one, but it sounds like a fun and sleazy little oddity. It was cheap, too. Why not? If I come across the flick ever and see it I could end up loving it and I'll have the poster already. (Of course, it's probably crap, but I can dream...).
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-e3ixdUJBNI8/Wfp703QlBrI/AAAAAAAAGKA/qIqbOUcxBecyeNwQwb8OTsdn-WGQZmLNwCEwYBhgL/s640/Love%2BButcher%2Bsale_349_103.jpg)

PUMPKINHEAD:
This was a fun little movie. Even though it has inspired 3 or 4 sequels, it's not that well known today, which is a shame. It was a different flick and I liked the voodoo-ish revenge creature story line. I believe I have both copies of the two versions of the poster already. The auction I got these two from included them together. This first poster has problems but the 2nd poster is in great shape. I thought it was a bargain.

THE SECRET LIFE OF JEFFREY DAHMER:
The poster actually shows the title as being THE SECRET LIFE, but wasn't this released and better known as THE SECRET LIFE OF JEFFREY DAHMER? I never saw this. The true events creeped me out to the Nth degree. I don't know if I could watch a movie version of it all...but then again, I'd know it was "just a movie". i still don't know if I'd be able to handle it though. But the poster...why not? It might be worth something down the road? Eew.

SPACED OUT:
I have never seen this before...and I have no idea why I wanted this poster so badly. Hmm. Fun art and all...but what was I thinking? Ha! Whatever. Steve will like it, I suppose.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FYtb9VcjcFw/Wfp71uRnhNI/AAAAAAAAGKQ/rEIzN2yQg2833DuCIBHojpVVPY8GZdhrwCEwYBhgL/s640/Spaced%2BOut.jpg)

And that's kind of it. Nothing too fabulous, but more than I expected to share for quite a while. Thank you, Rich for 8 of these 10 latest tidbits of poster goodness. Have a groovy a go-go November!

CHEERS!

Sleepaway Camp has quite a devoted following in my neighborhood as it was filmed just a few miles away.
Nice score, Shawn.

Yeah, I like this one and its "You Won't Be Coming Home" ala Halloween tagline. Good one.

Happy Thanksgiving. Welcome to the continuing poster update-a-gogo! Today I am thankful for, among other things, APF and Jeff directing me to find this fix to see Photobucket stuff (based on whatever browser you use). Look up "photobucket embed fix" and download the app. I did and...voila! I can see my thread again! Yahoo.
Thierry, I am glad (and surprised) that you like the SLEEPAWAY CAMP poster. Thanks! I am thrilled to have a copy finally.
Okay... Here is the latest batch o' posters in my collection. Did I need these? No. Did that stop me from buying them? No. Here they are...
INCEPTION:
I did see this in theaters, but I'm not one of those fanboy types that totally got in to this. It was interesting...but not my thing. Still, I got this (and the one below) at a good price from one of Rich's auctions a while back. Perhaps it will rise in value?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8jzXEfICDbk/WfqiT8wk4cI/AAAAAAAAGPM/sLkl52xSZdwDEgqIPEaQVw1MLzC5kxjNACLcBGAs/s640/Inception%2Bsale_349_091.jpg)

THE NARCOTIC STORY:
I already have a copy of this poster, but I love, love, LOVE it. It's such a hoot. It's so cheesy looking. This is one of those posters that really makes me WANT to track down the flick. It has to be a HOOT. Ha!
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_DaXtK1X3AM/WfqiTz_zCYI/AAAAAAAAGPQ/_hE6uKqELsc76e0bZv4YL1WUP2cL3p6tACLcBGAs/s640/The%2BNarcotic%2BStory%2Bsale_349_107.jpg)

AMITYVILLE: THE AWAKENING:
Okay, so this is NOT a poster and obviously one of my infamous stupid impulse purchases. Virtually no one (including myself) has seen this latest AMITYVILLE movie. It was pulled from release and rescheduled several times over the last three or so years. It finally sees the light of day on DVD later this month or next month after playing a few cities overseas--but not here. It's probably crap. But when i saw these "screen used" props from the flick--including fake credit cards, a class schedule, and (the selling point for me) fake school emblem stickers, I placed a low-ball bid...and won. No one bid against me. And why would they? No one has seen the movie. Ha! Whatever--I got some props. Whoopie...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pfwTAv4r9Y0/Wf1ErpcHcaI/AAAAAAAAGXY/AhL46SMgkdIVOrsrddGXzWYZbmBGESscACLcBGAs/s640/28339180_1.jpg)

FANNY HILL MEETS DR. EROTICO:
Most of you would dismiss this as trash. I'm sure the movie probably is (I've never seen it). But I am THRILLED to score this. I have been chasing the trio of Barry Mahon's "Fanny Hill Meets..." posters for ages. They seem to rarely pop up. I scored "Fanny Hill Meets Lady Chatterly" some time back. I still need "Fanny Hill Meets The Red Baron", but the one I wanted most of all was this one, "Fanny Hill Meets Dr. Erotico". Why? Because it looks (based on the poster) to me like a sexploitation "Frankenstein" knock off. And, if it is, my bet is the guy in the upper right-hand corner is said "Frankenstein"-like creature. "She was 19...He was 75, but together they created life!" From the late '60's. I wish someone out there would release all three of these as a triple-feature DVD/blu-ray.

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: THE FIRST EPIC MOVIE:
I see you shaking your head in wonder and disbelief. "Captain Underpants"? Really? Really. I have not seen the movie, but the reason I bought this was A) it was cheap ($3) and B) I read this book to my class at least once when i was a 4th grade teacher. It was a fun book. My students enjoyed it. Nostalgia...

THE NIGHT PORTER:
I have seen this film a couple of times. It's kind of nazisploitation-ish, but kind of not. Not a great poster, but for $3...
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ySpW21WWDyE/WhZxVz880EI/AAAAAAAAHsc/Hrc0Z8Ef82s5rhSzJf4_ecnSGtnq3yYBwCLcBGAs/s640/The%2BNight%2BPorter.jpg)

THE SERVANT:
I've not seen this flick, but it looks like it might be compelling. I've heard good things about Dirk Bogarde films, but have only seen one ("The Night Porter" above), I believe. Again, only $3. Why not?

DAUGHTER OF DR JEKYLL:
Argh! I tuned into eMovie's last auction on Tuesday in progress. This was up. Oooooo. I bid and amazingly got it---for less than I expected to get it for. And then I read the description. OOPS! It is apparently an early 60s re-release. Darn it all! Still a swell looking poster though...

COLOR ME BLOOD RED:
Oh my stars! At LAST! The poster for H.G. Lewis' third film in his infamous Blood Trilogy, "COLOR ME BLOOD RED" is quite possibly the rarest/hardest to track down HG Lewis horror movie poster. I paid too much for this and it looks to be in fairly good (not great) condition---but FINALLY it is MINE! Whoo hoo!
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OpVohp0U0Cs/WhUV2qtoofI/AAAAAAAAHr0/SHNmd1BU_JkHYgzQhQSF0lWlSNyIT6onQCLcBGAs/s640/Color%2BMe%2BBlood%2BRed.jpg)

THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN:
Zowie! This was a pricey and unexpected win. Whoever was bidding against me pooped out millimeters from my top bid. I kind of wish they HAD won (because I have to pay for this now somehow. EEK!). But how amazing (and colossal) that this poster is now MINE! Who hoo! It will make a great companion piece to my copy of the sequel poster "WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST". YIPPIE!!!

Congratulations on Collosal Man and also Color Me Blood Red. The latter looks disturbing plus it is Drenched in Crimson Color

Thank you, Steve. COLOR ME BLOOD RED is actually my least favorite HG Lewis horror movie. But "It will leave you aghast!" COLOSSAL MAN is an amazing and colossal coup for me. YahOOOOOO! Cheers!

Hurry! Hurry! Get your tickets. The next edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is about to begin.

This new offering isn't all that exciting. Take a gander, if you like. What do you have to lose, except a little time, perhaps.
ONE FROM THE HEART (Review Style):
This was from one of Rich's auctions. I hadn't seen this review style for "ONE FROM THE HEART" before, so I bid...and got it for only $3. Awesome. Thank you, Rich.

AMITYVILLE: THE AWAKENING:
Last time, if you'll recall, I included a few props from the new "AMITYVILLE: THE AWAKENING" flick, even though it more or less never played theaters (although it was scheduled to open numerous times). I've still not seen the flick--and I do not expect much from it--but I picked up this little...what are these called?...marquee thing they put over the doors to the theaters so you know what movie is in what theater. I figured I could use it over my display of the props for the flick---if I ever get around to making a display out of them, that is.

HOT PANTS HOLIDAY:
I know nothing about this movie. This poster is included here as it was part of a lot. What a cheesy title though; "HOT PANTS HOLIDAY". I dig the tag line "From Frustration to Taboo Torrid Love". Ha! I especially dig the "See the Love Potion Voodoo Dance" blurb. Marvelous! But this is apparently an X-rated flick...starring someone named Tudi Wiggins.

THE AMBUSHERS:
Another Matt Helm poster---hooray! But did I already have this one? Hmm. I am NOT sure. I really need to organize my posters. That has NOT been done YET. Grrr.

THE FEMALE BUNCH:
I'm pretty sure (Am I?) that I have one of these already. (Do I?) I've never seen it, but I know it is a Something Weird Video that has drummed up a semi-cult following. I've not seen it myself, but...

FIST OF FEAR TOUCH OF DEATH:
Another "lot" item. I know nothing about this flick. Does it have a plot or does it just borrow footage from elsewhere to include Bruce Lee prominently on the poster?
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CKFmPJ75QB4/WhxQelfzMwI/AAAAAAAAHv4/1FrlN0SsyYwI2RahLhXCd6SQUyL1WIsAACEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0003_TY00268_B.jpg)

HEAVY TRAFFIC:
I've not seen most of the Ralph Bakshi movies, except for WIZARDS and AMERICAN POP. I've been curious about the FRITZ THE CAT movies and HEAVY TRAFFIC, but not THAT curious. Another "lot" win.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oxar6hl56_M/WhxQdVoPHNI/AAAAAAAAHvw/pSDM5VHJf40UQDgfRLG8K4UjiKD_wkFpQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0001_TY00268_B.jpg)

DRIVE IN:
I have several copies of this poster. I LOVED this movie as a kid. It didn't age very well when I watched it again as an adult. The best part of the flick is still the movie ("DISASTER 76") being shown on the screen (illustrated on the poster). The movie may not be as good as it was when I was a kid, but the poster is still very fun.

SUPERMAN:
I am NOT a fan of the modern superhero movies. The last superhero movie series I liked was the "Superman" flicks of the late 70s/early 80s. I wasn't a huge fan---and preferred 1 and 2 over 3 (just god-awful) and 4, but... oh well. I never cared for this poster design for the first film, but now I have one. Super.

HOT SKIN (aka DISCO DOLLS IN HOT SKIN or BLONDE EMANUELLE):
Finally, I already have one of these, but couldn't resist this (hopefully) better copy. And at a cheaper price than my original. Yowza! I'm a sucker for 3D and this is not only in 3D, but also in something called SEXURROUND. Zowie! No, I have NOT seen it. But I dig the poster.

Hot Pants Holiday... haha Someones got to get Holiday that one.
Liking especially The Female Bunch and Hot Skin in WideVision thumbsup.gif

Hot Pants Holiday, ahahah, hilarious !!!
"The Female Bunch", a movie ahead of its time, free indenpendant women :) but still, the director must be a man
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb9FUBmyNx8
Bakshi, well, too bad you watched the bad ones of Bakshi. Best imo are "Lords of the Ring", "Fritz the Cat" and "Coonskin".
Big fan of Bakshi, the guy who created the friendly neighborhood Spiderman !!

Greetings! I know I JUST posted a few minutes ago, but I'm b-a-c-k. Not with anything groovy or exciting (Hmmm.), but they are posters just the same.
STEVE, even as I was posting the particular posters you mentioned, I was thinking about you and knowing they'd probably catch your attention. Ha!
Big Boss, I'll have to keep my eye out for some more Bakshi to see. Thanks for the tip. Glad you also found the humor in "Hot Pants Holiday".
Okay. Let's take a look:
FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 3D:
I already have a copy or two of this poster. This was cheap--like under $4---so why not a spare to resell down the road a bit?
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T3jIZ9MD4K8/Wh0T1ijLfDI/AAAAAAAAH6s/aq46OzaKEYI_tw8iMK98VIHts_c3aVO7gCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0006_TY00268_B.jpg)

THE SWINGING CHEERLEADERS:
I have a few of the "cheerleader"/"pom-pom girls" sexploitation titles from the 70s. Actually, I am thinking this may be the movie that features a young David Hasselhoff in it. Ha! This poster has some visible flaws. It was from a "lot" I got a while back.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VS2gRJjKfDU/Wh0T3BcWDqI/AAAAAAAAH6w/6PlPMBFl7owWbyJgl6co-gQpNR6T37B3gCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0010_TY00268_B.jpg)

DR. SYN (ALIAS THE SCARECROW):
A Disney live-action re-release poster. I saw this as a kid---BORING! Another "lot" item.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a33ppvVNHGI/Wh0T3yP-H1I/AAAAAAAAH60/qYzqR4NG00UUUwVyB9mysnhD2ZQpoDQLgCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0013_TY00268_B.jpg)

BABY THE RAIN MUST FALL:
Steve McQueen? Lee Remick? Don Murray? Wow! Too bad the poster is kind of rough. Another lot purchase.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M6Qh5MdyRGU/Wh0T6svfRCI/AAAAAAAAH7A/Tb0SEy20PmI4LglYbN0jbv7BjqR08lh-QCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0019_TY00268_B.jpg)

SMASHING TIME:
Two girls go stark mod! Oh my stars! I saw this in the VHS era and was disappointed. It looks like it had all sorts of potential, but it just went nowhere. Oh well. A lot purchase.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vmUQoh7QvmE/Wh0T79380sI/AAAAAAAAH7E/q-MYSDP8qQcHpLbHzFXPQDZ16OxaQLLPACEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0024_TY00268_B.jpg)

NORMAN...IS THAT YOU?
I never saw this flick, but remember it advertising in the 70s. With Redd Foxx, who was on "Sanford and Son" at the time---or maybe just off of it---it was bound to be hysterically funny. Another of the lot titles.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RWhPPvPDVic/Wh0T0ikfxQI/AAAAAAAAH6k/HwTLN-2WFYwB-5plOcrXRElj1XERfmoAACEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0005_TY00268_B.jpg)

MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE:
Stephen King's directorial debut...and swan song. FLOP! Starring Mrs. Donald Trump #2, Marla Maples and a cool looking gremlin truck. Lots of potential again...but it fell short. Another lot title.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PloeTVjVfrM/Wh0T6FQUugI/AAAAAAAAH64/F3KsDvJKpTIkA56jvI8Z5cQQYPF-qv0oACEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0018_TY00268_B.jpg)

SCALPS:
I have a couple of copies of this poster. It's a poster no one wants, but I dig it. This artist (who is he?) did a lot of other great cheesy art for 21st Century Releasing.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3xFyINOrPiM/Wh0T04uuTgI/AAAAAAAAH6o/v3sB5o8OkKYH8Cb0ngyCrGcMZIqjMUIsQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0004_TY00268_B.jpg)

THE LOST WORLD OF SINBAD:
This is NOT a Sinbad movie. It's a Japanese fairy tale that had been sold to American international, redubbed and was transformed into a Sinbad flick to cash in on the popularity of "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad". I already had this poster (maybe 2 or 3 copies). I do wish I could see the flick too.

Grab your popcorn. It's time for another update-a-go-go of my movie poster acquisitions. While this bunch is a lackluster batch for the most part (Again?!), there are a couple (towards the bottom) I am excited about. Take a gander, if you please---or not.
THE WIZARD OF OZ (3D re-release):
Here is the PG version of the recent WIZARD OF OZ IMAX 3D re-release. I have several copies already, but OZ is a classic and hello? This was only $2. How could I say no? This and the next few below were overlooked bargains from a recent auction of Rich's. Thank you, Rich.

THE AMITYVILLE CURSE (Video release):
This was possibly the WORST flick in the AMITYVILLE series...until everyone with a camera started making their own movies. UGH! Still, as bad as this flick is, I did NOT have this video one sheet (although I do have the boring British movie theater one sheet). I just needed this to round out my collection---but could have done without it. it was only $5.

STAR WARS (Special Edition trilogy re-release advance):
I am no big STAR WARS fan. I saw the original (4-6) trilogy in the theater but only saw one of the prequels (1). I did enjoy the last two new films though and will probably see LAST JEDI (but not during the first crazed few weeks). I bid the minimum bid on this (and my other wins from Rich), thinking I'd surely be outbid on all of them (I was outbid on several other things). Somehow these were overlooked. Really? I thought anything STAR WARS was a must have.

STAR WARS (trilogy DVD release promo):
Again, how did STAR WARS fans not go for this? Lucky me. I guess the Force was with me?

SWITCHBLADE SISTERS (re-release):
Quentin Tarantino's sponsored re-release of a 70s grindhouse classic otherwise known as "THE JEZEBELS". I have a copy or two already. Great exploitation art...even if it is a re-release.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pXzAbc6W5iQ/WjIN60YhGoI/AAAAAAAAJSM/8-MsSnB64EkiK8NQZ7FLrSp3L5WtTLStgCEwYBhgL/s640/Switchblade%2BSisters.jpg)

SANTA'S FANTASY FAIR:
Just in time for Christmas, it's another of my kiddie matinee posters---this time for a Christmas-themed mishmash. O' the poor children who had to sit through this crap. I'm sure they must have thought they were all on Santa's naughty list to have to be forced to endure this flick. Ha!

SAFARI CANNIBAL (aka INVADERS OF THE LOST GOLD) (French):
Here's an oddity I...uh, needed. Maybe. Maybe not. Whatever... Laura Gemser, Edmund Purdom, Stuart Whitman, and Woody Strode altogether in a cannibal flick? WHAT!?! I just tracked this movie down on DVD (under the INVADERS OF THE LOST GOLD title---what kind of LAME title is that, other than something trying to rip off the first Indiana Jones flick in an awkward way). but I have NOT seen it yet. Sure to be awful---hopefully cheesy, too.CHOMP!

DRILLER KILLER:
Here is a sleaze classic I've been pursuing for a long while--"DRILLER KILLER"! Ha! This late 70's schlocker came with two styles of posters. One is black and has an evident "R" rating. This one (blue) features doodled drill bits going through the photos with cartoon blood oozing from them and is clearly NOT rated. The late 70's / early 80s were a great time for these unrated films---like the original "DAWN OF THE DEAD", "MANIAC", "ZOMBIE" and this flick. A lot of theaters, including a few where I grew up, treated these flicks as "R" material instead of reading the "No one under 17 admitted" blurb on the posters. Otherwise I'd probably never have gotten in to see them. (I had to drag my grandmother along to get in to see "DAWN OF THE DEAD". She hated it and walked out in the first 15 minutes or so and waited for me in the lobby the rest of the movie. Ha! What a cool lady to do that, though.)

O.S.S. 117 IS NOT DEAD:
I've long been curious about the O.S.S. series, ever since seeing one of the posters for it. It looks like a James Bond knock off, but by debuting in 1958, it pre-dates the Bond films by several years (but not the Bond novels). I've never seen the films. Maybe someday? Nice poster though...Bond knock off or not.

MANSFIELD 66/67:
Wow! Wow! WOW! Am I ever super-duper thrilled about this one. The other day, I happened to stumble on to something. It was a mention of a new movie about the last two bizarre years of Jayne Mansfield's life...when she was dating Anton LaVey (the leader of the Church of Satan). YES, that really happened. Anyway, there is a new bio about her coming out called MANSFIELD 66/67. The poster below is the better of the posters being used for the film. Notice anything about the poster (aside from Jayne and Anton)? Hello? The artwork was done by SHAG! (If you don't know SHAG... visit his website here: http://www.shag.com/ )
I found the official website for the film and wrote to every email address I could find on it, begging and pleading for a copy of the poster. I got this response:
Our distributor sent us your email about our Shag one sheet poster. That was done exclusively for our festival run and we only have 2 left from the official Shag sanctioned printing. We need to keep one for our office but could let the other go for $200. Let me know if that works and give me your address. We are leaving for NY for a week tomorrow but I could get it in the mail today if I hear back. You can PayPal me at ############.
It looks amazing in person!
Yours,
Todd
I responded with:
Hi Todd.
$200!?! Zowie! I had NO idea, but I LOVE the poster, I LOVE Jayne and I LOVE SHAG. When will your movie be out in wide release or on DVD/Blu-Ray? I MUST see it!
I'll send the money now.
Thank you so much.
CHEERS!
So I sent him $200. It's a first run SHAG print of the poster and obviously super rare. SHAG's first (?) movie poster. I can't afford it---but I couldn't let it go either. And isn't the title clever, having the "666" all be in diabolical red? Ha! Yahooooo!

That's it for this post and for 2017. I hope you all have a happy holiday season. Merry Christmas and have a fantastic new year filled with adventure, success, romance, wonder, laughs...and incredible posters.
2017 is TOAST!

CHEERS, Daddy-O!

I like that Mansfield poster.
pretty cool

Cool bunch of new posters, Shawn!
I hope you have the Merriest of Christmases!

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!

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.

Love that Graham Humphreys poster art.
clap clap clap clap clap

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!

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.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ms6AWysk1ik/Wk2rWjqlLZI/AAAAAAAAJYs/gbKXEADja7c-lMeATsyQrmuX_Wrk6GiRACLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0017_SD12124_B.jpgB.jpg)

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.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KPWK535UtTY/Wk2rWuKzxdI/AAAAAAAAJYk/KfOL6329o38pUSUA7fxBUCEG_zUP7I98gCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0009_SD12124_B.jpgB.jpg)

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.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LKrCeVVZlWU/Wk2rZW5PwxI/AAAAAAAAJZA/LeAcCkf89MEhWSQWpqjPMQlq_JJj1G6YgCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0070_SD12124_B.jpgB.jpg)

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...
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iY3VzxXFEmE/Wk2rXL4zmDI/AAAAAAAAJYw/oeCaig9m14Y6YYm_yZp9oFnDa3NGp8BKACLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0043_SD12124_B.jpgB.jpg)

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.

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:
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DUx1qjE51ag/WiZEVClaOFI/AAAAAAAAIhM/ZT7NCK-3_4AgzMD0UJYSEIm-4t23UldCgCPcBGAYYCw/s400/Driller%2BKiller.JPG)
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!
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G9apCvsPx_w/Wmj31TbEqKI/AAAAAAAAJz4/f4ZEtUL0IdgfrX8EPePA5P2NcqVkIfzpwCLcBGAs/s640/DK1.jpg)
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.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8SzsA1i3ynA/Wmj31oLJDdI/AAAAAAAAJz8/XyYLP9-1yWMu4bxHQVUkXUgDAK7cRFXHACLcBGAs/s640/DK2.jpg)
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:
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4x6yabVDZXM/Wmj62f2_mlI/AAAAAAAAJ0M/v8mvZAZHK3oFRgB7757zNmwBC-sCrUvxQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_4798.JPG)
It is now hanging where it belongs, next to the sequel poster "WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST":
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hvHfeUbIQeA/Wmj62l-Hw2I/AAAAAAAAJ0U/tnvJM01h5Hg6awjPK-7UvQVdbHrA94FGQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_4799.JPG)
I also got around to framing my re-release of "ASTRO-ZOMBIES":
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IDdevUJKsEQ/Wmj62gsp48I/AAAAAAAAJ0Q/YvkpxHipP9UYnzvb8BRP0YrNazMqpXEOgCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_4802.JPG)
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!

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?

Sorry T. Thomas Kinkade stuff makes me puke.
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.

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.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-G9apCvsPx_w/Wmj31TbEqKI/AAAAAAAAJ0A/LmGmOE-AnJInk9XL8wfNsl0WsYZq50TQACPcBGAYYCw/s400/DK1.jpg)
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!

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.

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...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G6d5sMh0KwU/WlW52fA_2TI/AAAAAAAAJsw/JCmqSKCyVTUmkXz9v2wMqiT_RGnm7uoaACEwYBhgL/s640/happy_death_day_teaser_NG03468_B.jpg)

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!

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

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? dontknow.gif
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! :D
-
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.
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WXsTozkgIXM/WpBBzALR2kI/AAAAAAAAKCk/kWnQVZf4a74qDaEUcUbAy_4nth8xEn0mwCEwYBhgL/s640/sale_356_008.jpg)
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.
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FbN89ez9hFc/WpBBzA1BMLI/AAAAAAAAKCg/1913vEvpR6kjIzgBISTZvg_sAHwArI7LACEwYBhgL/s640/sale_356_121.jpg)
THE MAN FROM HONG KONG (British Quad):
No idea what this is. It came with the poster below it in one lot.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-it8ZXQAyUNs/WpBCl0rfmBI/AAAAAAAAKCw/e-iE6Tr29KE9JDOPANs7QMsOEeZtuj-_wCEwYBhgL/s640/The%2BMan%2BFrom%2BHong%2BKong%2BBritish%2BQuad.jpg)
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!
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CAnXPuLaKgs/WqDiqKFoGiI/AAAAAAAAKF0/acD0xt4hg_ozXdEybYmwskAwda62xJ4UwCEwYBhgL/s640/The%2BWhip%2BAgainst%2BMurderous%2BMummies%2BMexican.jpg)
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?
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0PtRMlCDhcg/WqDioFNxUOI/AAAAAAAAKFs/27PHF3GOiS0Sjvns8fan5z2MC2WM4MiDQCEwYBhgL/s640/Chrome%2Band%2BHot%2BLeather.jpg)
BLADE RUNNER 2049 (ADVANCE):
Just a better copy than the one I already have.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Nzz-Kj-8xIs/WqDin_jjO3I/AAAAAAAAKFo/LI2vsRyR4iMdKkaTYGBAuIJiRuiiAmDzQCEwYBhgL/s640/Blade%2BRunner%2B2049%2BAdv.jpg)
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.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UYEbKjYxTLU/WqDin-7gzNI/AAAAAAAAKFk/dnboxKaVJs0pGO3OPXqNqkvDtfX_J5YUACEwYBhgL/s640/Caged%2BVirgins.jpg)
That's it. I told you there wasn't much to see.,
Thanks for taking a look anyway.
CHEERS!

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

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!
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eTrk_thFaV4/WrG5HSqfC7I/AAAAAAAAKgc/nxKbRIuEbPQFktInKwDsybjcXtoK9RRKgCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0014_SD12124_B.jpg)

VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN:
Another "never seen it" lot purchase. Whoopie...
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4b3Ur6lniD8/WrG5G74yHzI/AAAAAAAAKgY/1IrZx_YqtvIcb8vPsrBhym2l3WhLlFvsQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0013_SD12777_B.jpg)

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?
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Zax0zSioMXo/WrG4jLaU6wI/AAAAAAAAKgU/QTMfq4R2vAw85P8xIcAPNr57zvpD70fTgCEwYBhgL/s640/Diva.jpg)

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"...
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qLGOY5kzhQU/WrG4jszXYII/AAAAAAAAKgE/THyHDzPU4N00x5-2AretJ7uBOAu6hA7VACEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0001_SD12777_B.jpg)

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.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rC64FDaUE3Y/WrG4kqqXafI/AAAAAAAAKgI/r4zAWgyfyGkD64GX12up5CsFNihu4OqxACEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0004_SD12777_B.jpg)

KRAMPUS:
Here is another flick I had such high hopes for. Hmm. The best thing about it is this poster.
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kRERE5fsBe8/WrG4l3Wb1qI/AAAAAAAAKgM/AtiFZE2JEVMR-iIk-LwzdncqRAWn4suMwCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_0015_SD12777_B.jpg)

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!
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WnM_1twUKg4/WrG4jMKmifI/AAAAAAAAKgA/PhM2ONLLnKkTTPpmOzuahJgOmD0Fw3_0ACEwYBhgL/s640/Corpse%2BEaters.jpg)

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!

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

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:

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.

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!

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.
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h48yhuGG2p0/Wsrfk4WLWwI/AAAAAAAAKyE/NQGjH_RbjZ4XJJDrt-pNdzJv7d85CW9OgCLcBGAs/s1600/Jaws.jpg)

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!

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.

Hi there. Welcome back to the SHOCK-A-RAMA POSTER SHOW! Take a gander and see if anything strikes your fancy today.
But first...
OKIEHAWKER! It is always a delight to see you on here. Thanks for visiting last time. Just for you, I found a different CINERAMA photo (albeit in black and white). I don't see an artist's signature or name anywhere on the SHOCK WAVE locandia. Sorry. If you give SANTA SANGRE a watch, realize it is long and kind of two movies in one---but both part of the same story. You'll understand when you see it. I LOVE it. Yes, i am super excited about my SHRINKING MAN poster and plan to hang it ASAP. It is in great shape. YIPPIE! Thank you, as always, for your visit and comment. CHEERS!
And now...
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pcpMVrb6Qv0/Wtg0NIK0K4I/AAAAAAAAK7w/2jM_BNU1WBs_ML0LCN-_guluZlm9tbhhQCEwYBhgL/s320/Movie-Now-Showing.jpg)
GHOSTHOUSE (aka LA CASA 3) (Italian photobusta set):
Zowie! Color me SURPRISED. I came home from a little birthday road trip to discover a tube sitting on my front porch. Huh? I wasn't expecting any thing... It was from my friend Rosa (Former APF member "Mirosae") in England. Oh my STARS! What an amazing, delightful and totally unexpected surprise. She had sent me a set of Italian photobustas for GHOSTHOUSE (aka LA CASA 3). NO WAY! I was so shocked and thrilled by her generosity. Golly---how EXCITING! THANK YOU sooooo much, Rosa! WOW!
For those unfamiliar with the LA CASA series, the first LA CASA was THE EVIL DEAD. That was followed by LA CASA 2 (EVIL DEAD 2). But the next LA CASA? You'd expect "ARMY OF DARKNESS," right? Wrong! Those wacky Italians decided to just cash in on the name and released several unrelated films as part of the LA CASA series. GHOSTHOUSE was LA CASA 3, the David Hasselhoff/Linda Blair turd WITCHERY is LA CASA 4 and Claudio Fragrasso's (the man behind "TROLL 2") BEYOND DARKNESS is LA CASA 5. Later (after they had already been released under other names) HOUSE 2 and THE HORROR SHOW were released as LA CASA 6 & 7.
The EVIL DEAD films aside, of the bogus LA CASA sequels, GHOSTHOUSE is hands down my favorite. It makes NO SENSE whatsoever. I love it. And it's just chuck full of Italy's idea of American culture at the time---so it's like 80's PLUS. Hilarious. And awful. But totally AWESOME.
THANK YOU so very much, Rosa! Zowie!

BURNT OFFERINGS:
I already have this poster. (I don't recall the characters along the top, though. A variant, perhaps?) I realize this poster is worth nothing. It was part of a "lot", so I didn't pay much / anything for it, really. I did genuinely like the movie and I have been to the house it was filmed out (near Oakland, California---NOT the East Coast as the movie says it takes place in. The same house was used in the original "PHANTASM" and "SO I MARRIED AN AX MURDERER".)

PARANOIA:
Another poster I already have... Ha!

I DISMEMBER MAMA / THE BLOOD-SPATTERED BRIDE (combo):
Yet another poster I already have several copies of... HA! I'm a sucker for gimmicks. I wish I had one of the "Up-Chuck Cups" given away for this showing. ARGH! I'm not sure if BLOOD-SPATTERED BRIDE had been released in the US before this release, but I DISMEMBER MAMA (which stars GERI REISCHL, aka "Fake Jan" from THE BRADY BUNCH VARIETY HOUR) was originally released briefly under the dull title "POOR ALBERT AND LITTLE ANNIE". The I DISMEMBER MAMA title is a much better alternate.

THE BURNING:
I already have a copy of this poster...probably more than one. Why did I buy another? I'm just stupid that way, I guess. I don't know if this movie ever played in my town or not. However, I had this poster on my ceiling as a teen in high school. Great image---the shadowy killer above and the naked couple making out in the water below. Ha! While I may not have seen this (until years and years later), I do remember reading about it in Fangoria Magazine. Ahh, Fangoria...

HORROR ON SNAPE ISLAND:
Surprise...I already have this poster, too. Ha! This was part of a lot and came with the I DISMEMBER MAMA combo poster. This one has fun art on it (Dig that head bouncing down the stairs). I saw this film, YEARS later when it was re-released and re-titled to cash in on the success of THE FOG. Then it was called BEYOND THE FOG. Ha! I knew it wasn't a true sequel, but for the producers to have the balls to try and pass it off as one, well, of COURSE I was curious and had to see it. It's an okay little thriller but dated and British--not American. A very young Robin Askwith is in it (He made those popular "Confessions of..." -- "Confessions of a Window Washer", "Confessions of a Pop Performer", "Confessions of a Driving Instructor", etc. -- British sex-comedy movies in the 70s as well as starring in the terrible spoof "Queen Kong"), so I knew it was an older movie in addition to being a fake sequel. Ha!

SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL:
I won this? I don't even really recall bidding on this (I was on vacation... Most of my pre-vacation bids were outbid). I certainly did not realize it was a porn film, but I do dig the artwork of the scantily clad woman cozying up to a large, smoking revolver.

KING KONG (2005)(?):
If you were wondering who the idiot was who bought the alleged spear from the 2005 remake of "KING KONG" (despite the fact the "prop" label lists it as "2006"), I was that idiot. I saw the thing had a low bid amount and flipped out. I bid, sat back and...it was mine. Then I looked up all of the scenes with the natives in the film---and NO WHERE did I see anything remotely resembling this spear tip. Oh well. It joins my alleged prop "legs" that were supposedly from the original "TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE" and were later housed in the Movieland Wax Museum (I even have the bogus certificate of authentication to prove it. Ha!) I should have my own museum of fake props. Ha! However, this spear head has to be from somewhere. it may not be KING KONG, but somewhere. If I hang on to it long enough, I may be able to figure it out.

MATINEE:
Another vacation win. I probably already have this, but was not sure. I am a big William Castle fan (anyone want to please give me their HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL poster? It's the only Castle title I am lacking...). Castle, if you didn't know, was the king of the movie gimmicks in the 1950's and early 60's. THE TINGLER featured PERCEPTO (theater seats were wired to give tiny shocks during a key scene in the movie), MACABRE offered burial insurance in case theater goers died of fright watching the film. There was a PUNISHMENT POLL (audiences decided the fate of a villain), ILLUSION-O (ghost viewers that allowed you to see or not see ghosts of the screen), COWARD'S CORNER (if you were too afraid and wanted your money back....you had to sit in an area where the entire audience could see cowardly you), and EMERGO (a ghost floated over the audience at a key moment).
MATINEE was sort of a tribute to that era, with John Goodman playing a fictionalized version of Castle, Lawrence Woolsey. The movie is not great, but it is entertaining. The poster (which shows a theater marquee showing the fictional film within the film, "MANT"--Half Man / Half Ant!) is perfect. I'm thrilled to get it (if I didn't already have it, that is...).

THE THIEF OF BAGDAD (1947 re-release):
This is my real "prize" of the lot---the thing I am most excited about (Rosa's present excepted). I know this is a re-release, but the artwork is different than the original release poster...and so much BETTER. I've been after one of these for ages. There's been one on eBay for about 2 or 3 times the amount I paid for this. Zowie! Although he is not listed below, Conrad ("The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari", "The Man Who Laughs") Veidt stars as the sinister Jaffar. Awesome.

Hi Monster!
Thanks for the "Casino Cinerama" photo! Gambling if the the movie is going to be great or a stinker, eh?!
I have read some of Mirosae's previous posts and really enjoyed some of her insights. From what I've read, you have a cool friend there! La Casa 3 looks like several really deep paper meche cuts.
Wow, I haven't seen a crowd waiting on a movie/spook show like the one in your Asylum of Horrors picture in so loooooong. Ah, the good old days... "Monsters sit on your lap!" Hot Dog!
Paranoia: we spin in glorious groin-tandem!
A tear welled up in my eye when reading about the free "upchuck cup". Where can we find a theatre that looks out for its patrons like that today?!
Wouldn't "Horror of Professor Snape Island vs. Chinese Hercules" be great? I wonder which hair cut would win?
Mant!!! Half man half ant! I remember many years ago being in a novelty store and seeing "Manty Hose". There were two regular panty hose legs and then also a much shorter leg, er, I think you get the picture.
Oh man, I love Conrad Veidt and did not remember him being in Thief of Baghdad! How in the world was Veidt uncredited?! Congrats on the poster, and now I need to watch it again after all these years!
Take care, Okie

Hi there. Welcome to another edition of the Shock-A -Rama Poster Show! And what do we have in store for you today? Well, it looks like there are a couple of nice pieces and a lot of crap, as usual. Oh well, they all can't be winners. (I just wish I could somehow NOT buy so many crap posters and save the cash for better posters later...)
But first, I want to say hello to OakieHawker! Hey Oakie. Thanks for the note. Rosa (Mirosae) is very nice. I was so surprised by her gift. She was one of my first "friends" on here and remained so after she chose to leave. LA CASA 3/GHOSTHOUSE is total schlock. I wouldn't recommend it unless cheesy Italian horror was your thing---and even then I'd hesitate. Ha!
Spinning in glorious groin-tandem...zowie! If on;y something like that actually happened in the movie instead of just on the poster. Ha!
Very clever the Prof Snape Island vs Chinese Hercules. Hee hee.
I have been looking high and low for an authentic UpChuck Cup. You know there must be some still in existence. But, alas, i've not found any yet. (And I really NEED one!)
Ah yes, MantyHose---I have seen that around. I wonder if MANT wore a pair?
Yes, Conrad Veidt is the evil Jafar in THIEF OF BAGHDAD (which, if you didn't notice and I neglected to mention in that post, is spelled incorrectly on the poster, omitting the "H" ARGH! I totally meant to say something, too...which is why I was being purposely "H"-less in the description. GRR!)
Anyway, it is always a pleasure having you visit, Oakie. Stop by any time. And today, i found one more shot of a Cinerama for you---nothing exciting, but... There is one in Seattle still, by the way. I saw it just this past February.
Okay, Let's take a look at the posters:
THE STUD (English one sheet):
Snore. What was I thinking? I saw this during an auction recently. It wasn't going for much. As a fan of "Dynasty" I thought it would be fun to snag this and hunt down the sequel, "The Bitch"--both starring Joan Collins. But then I got it and was like...ugh. What a DULL poster. At only $14, I still feel I got the short end of the stick. Oh well.

ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH:
There was a brief period of time when I was really obsessed with Jacqueline Susann's "Valley of the Dolls". I needed to read the book and see the movie. The book had sat on a shelf in the family room during my growing up years (as had "Helter Skelter"---which scared the heck out of me just flipping through the photos). I never read it (or "HS") back then, but its presence made me so dang curious. I knew the book had been the best-selling novel of all time and every once in a while I'd catch bits of the movie on television. I knew that "Dolls" was supposed to be very scandalous and tawdry. I read the book and saw the movie. The book was good, but very soap opera-ish. I didn't know what the big deal had been though. It wasn't that good. The movie bored me at first, until Neely O'Hara gets famous---and then the movie turns into a giant, unintentional camp fest that I LOVE. I explored the rest of Susann's oeuvre (I'm not sure why I bothered, really). The books were okay, so I sought out the films made from them. Oh my stars! While Valley of the Dolls" was a campy classic, the other two films--"THE LOVE MACHINE" and this one, ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH", were god-awful...which is probably why they are NO WHERE on anyone's radar these days.
I already have a copy of this poster, I am sure. It was part of a "lot" purchase a while back. This movie was such a turd---but somehow a commercial success. Deborah Raffin was horribly miscast (and utterly boring) as the young lead. Kirk Douglas is her movie producer father. Brenda Vaccaro plays her best gal pal, who is also editor of GLOSS magazine and very promiscuous. Vaccaro somehow earned an Oscar nomination for her role in this swill. And then there is David Jansen as a has-been novelist. George Hamilton is a rich young man who takes Raffin's virginity. Alexis Smith plays Raffin's controlling stepmother who is having a secret lesbian affair. It all sounds so shocking and salacious...but it's just snore-inducing.

THE 33:
Another "lot" purchase. Not a very interesting poster at all...but I did want to see the movie. Never made it though. Was it any good?

BUTTERFIELD 8 (Australian Daybill):
This daybill (and I rarely ever buy them) was in great condition. This was one of Elizabeth Taylor's more infamous roles (although it is very tame by today's standards). It was inexpensive so i placed a small bid...and I won. Okay. This is a last-minute addition to the post (which is why there are 11 entries instead of the usual 10).

THE DEVIL'S REJECTS:
I spent way too much on this poster. DUH! I think I already have this poster actually. The poster I need (I now realize) is HOUSE OF 1,000 CORPSES...NOT the sequel. Oh well. I do like the tag line though; "This summer, go to Hell". But--ugh. I did not like the movie.
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PbjHzilQMAQ/WupZio2KMfI/AAAAAAAALWg/uwzZVQlaEsw4ghJ8F-W67i8v-qdl0z7-ACLcBGAs/s640/The%2BDevil%2527s%2BRejects.jpg)

TINTORERA:
Why, why, WHY do I do this? I already HAVE a copy, ...several copies...of this poster, yet I was compelled to buy another. I dig my "JAWS" ripoffs, but this is one of the slowest, most boring out there. SNORE! The BEST part about the whole movie is the poster art. Maybe that's why I keep buying copies?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Xh_tqSByV2s/WvO92FfiKtI/AAAAAAAALaw/t0Jgjc1V00M0yjaqNP1tgay3r9jT2GwCQCLcBGAs/s640/tintorera_SD13345_B.jpg)

WAR GODDESS:
I may already have this poster (This one cost me exactly $1.53 including postage---thanks to eBay bucks! Ha!), but who could pass up this art of prehistoric (?) women fighting? WOWZER! I've never seen the movie, but the poster is pretty cool.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZoAQdUXdERc/WuX9vwmTfcI/AAAAAAAALVo/jbsFrdGimmkiOTmCz-Bj_WU3tK54AVTkwCLcBGAs/s640/War%2BGoddess.jpg)

CEMETERY MAN:
Another poster I already have...and that I paid too much for. But I dig the movie and I dig the poster.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8F5xmwhzy1w/WupZir_2ewI/AAAAAAAALWk/AJjcOJhDe-ERfUcW2R9Xuxh1rYdqDucPQCEwYBhgL/s640/Cemetery%2BMan.jpg)

ALIENS (International):
Another I paid too much for (Or did I? How much is this worth anyway?). I've had an original ALIEN poster for years...and some of the sequels (starting with 3)---but never Part 2, "ALIENS". Now I do. Hooray!This is apparently the international version. I'm not a big sci-fi guy so I'm not really sure, but is the US version similar/the same---or completely different? Hmm... Nevermind. I looked it up. Same image, but they are standing in a cave full of alien eggs in the US version. Oh well.

THE WACKY WORLD OF DR. MORGUS:
Oooo! I am EXCITED about this one. I've seen this poster come and go only a handful of times. I've tried to get it every time, but it always escapes my grasp. I scored this one on a recent Heritage Auction with a snipe...for the highest amount bid. Yikes---close call--but it is MINE! Whoo hoo.
The little bit of research I've done on this poster reveals that Dr. Morgus was a TV horror host out of New Orleans. Apparently he got his own, regional, low-budget flick, thus this poster. Notice the cast: Dr Morgus-Famed Inventor of Instant People, Chopsley, Red Nose, and Pencils. Zowie! It's probably a total crap storm, but since getting the poster, I've ordered the out-of-print movie on DVD (which has surprisingly good reviews). I hope it is good.

TERROR OF GODZILLA:
The last of the original GODZILLA films before the 1985 reboot...and frankly, one of the hardest for me to have tracked down and scored. Ha! (I am still lacking the original GODZILLA, of course, and INVASION OF THE ASTRO-MONSTER (aka MONSTER ZERO), and DESTROY ALL MONSTERS. SON OF GODZILLA and GODZILLA VS THE SEA MONSTER I don't think had a US theatrical releases--so no US one sheets). I'll have them all eventually... (Maybe). I still have NOT seen this flick either. Ha!

And that's it for today, kiddies. I hope everyone is well. Until next time, stay cha-cha-cha groovy.

CHEERS!

Monster, that's quite a haul you made! The marquee photos are great! thumbsup.gif

And the re-release daybill you picked up for Butterfield 8 is much better & nicer art than the first release version, so nice score there, too. cheers

Hi there. Welcome to another snore-inducing, er...um, glamorous and exciting edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! Happy late-spring! Eek. Summer is just around the corner---with its blazing temperatures and zillions of kids out of school (making movie-going often unbearable). Are you ready for the summer? Hopefully so. In the mean time, thank you for popping in. Please help yourself to a gander at my latest acquisitions...
But first, hello cabmangray. Thanks for taking a look at my posters and leaving a greeting. I'm glad you liked them---and the marquee photos. I added those a while back to add more interest to my page...so it's not just posters (which are usually just so-so) and my boring, endless commentary. THANKS!
Hi Jeff. I'm glad you liked the BUTTERFIELD 8 daybill. I didn't realize it until a few days ago, but--ha! I already have the Australian one sheet for it. Oh well. Thanks for saying hello.
And now the posters---such as they are:
ALIEN SEED:
This is a video poster for a direct-to-video movie I have never seen. Yes, it looks like total crap (although having Erik Estrada featured is a wonderful campy bonus). This was part of a lot (with the poster below it---which was the one I was going after). I got the lot for $10 plus shipping. So, $5 each isn't bad... I wonder if this is worth seeing--even for camp value?
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oSEllRP04l4/WwcA8_B28HI/AAAAAAAAMKs/V4z7C1hpvl8w3pkl74jiQe-SF5n7z20WQCLcBGAs/s640/Alien%2BSeed.jpg)

ELVES:
The second poster in the lot---and the one I wanted, "ELVES." I never saw this---but I know it went right to video and gave Dan Haggerty a job (He is still anxiously awaiting a sequel, I am sure). The upper corner looks kind of bent--but not torn. It looks to be in okay shape aside from that. I was looking for Christmas horror and am still trying to find a "Don't Open 'Til Christmas" poster (which I know also only went to video back in the VHS days) to round out my collection. I have never seen this--and i am sure it is awful--but I just ordered a bootleg copy on DVD. Ha! Ho ho ho!

SPECTRE:
I already have a copy of this, but I am a big Bond fan and isn't it funny how relatively inexpensive this is now (mine for $31) than when it came out (when they were going for about $100+)? Ha! I'm looking forward to the next Bond (and the next and the next...)
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eaRQcEWu3v0/WvkYphdDy4I/AAAAAAAALcE/z9C-Hg86eSMby8UjqHToIwmJWCBz5iQRACEwYBhgL/s640/Spectre.jpg)

MURDERER'S ROW:
As a Bond fan, one might correctly assume that I also dig some of the knock-offs that came in Bond's wake...such as the Dean Martin "Matt Helm" series. I believe I already have a copy of "Murderer's Row"--but it came as part of a lot that featured another Matt Helm poster (below) I was not so sure I had already or not.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bCN8Lv6TWKY/WvkYpQhBt1I/AAAAAAAALb8/WBn_W-3z3UEfrF-9KWTVan257KErxtExgCEwYBhgL/s640/Murderer%2527s%2BRow.jpg)

THE SILENCERS:
I knew I had "MURDERER'S ROW" and "THE WRECKING CREW" posters, but I'm not so sure about "THE SILENCERS" or "THE AMBUSHERS". When I spotted this lot of Matt Helm posters moments before they were to close (How had I missed them earlier? Yikes!) and saw that "THE SILENCERS" was included, I went for it. I got them for $35, which is $17.50 each---not bad at all. Now I just need to figure out if I still need "THE AMBUSHERS" or not. I'll have to look...

THE FURY:
I already have several copies of this...and here I am, buying yet ANOTHER! Ha! I'm a sucker for "CARRIE" ripoffs. This one is unusual in that it was ripped off by "CARRIE" 's own director, Brian DePalma, and one of its stars, Amy Irving. Lame movie---but I dig it for some inexplicable reason. (Snore-A-Rama poster though...)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME:
Here is another poster I already have several copies of. I never seem to learn... This and the one above were two of several posters I bid on and then left to the fates to decide what I would win and what I would lose. I won two things I already have. Oh well. '80's holiday slasher horror!

THE EVIL DEAD 2 (Thai):
I already have one of these. However, as I am prone to doing, I saw this and put a bid on it anyway. And won. It was actually much cheaper than the one I got originally. Hmm.

SOLO-A STAR WARS STORY:
As I have said several times, I am not a "Star Wars" fan. I've seen most of the movies in the theater (After the Jar-Jar Binks #1 film, I skipped out on #2 and #3), but usually late in their runs. I'm not sure if this one will fly or not. The guy playing Han Solo looks NOTHING like a young Harrison Ford. Will it be a hit or go the way of the infamous "Star Wars Holiday Special"? I have no idea. BUT...the way people go crazy over STAR WARS in general and noting how high priced the posters can get, I couldn't help but pick this up when it was reasonably priced. It the movie takes off---it will go up in value (hopefully). If it flops, well... That would be my luck.

HALLOWEEN (2018):
Speaking of things getting expensive at the time of their release (See the SPECTRE poster above), I jumped on this advance poster for the upcoming HALLOWEEN movie as soon as I realized what it was (I thought it was another Mondo poster at first). I'm sure it--and especially the final release poster--will get crazy high come release time. I'm curious about this movie--and anxious to experience it. The poster is...kind of dull, though. Oh well.

That's 10...so that is all for now. Thanks for stopping by to visit and taking a look.
CHEERS!
PS Hey, I just realized---it's only 6 months until Christmas. You'd better get shopping. (Or the "ELVES" may get you... Ha!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME:
I saw this movie at a theater in Paris when I was super young. It freaked me out and I thought it was one of the best horror flicks ever until I grew up and was exposed to more. It's still pretty good though. Melissa Sue Anderson's first flick following Little House on the Prairie. Classic.

Hi Monster! I couldn't help but notice the White Zombie/Marraige Bond double bill advertising. How wild is that?! Isn't it sort of like radio programming back to back mood setting songs of Colour My World by Chicago followed up by Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses?
Wow, another great Cinerama photo and this time with a trench coat henchman changing the marquee letters from the top of a Cinerama bus?! This is fantastic!
Murderer's Row: is Dean Martin thinking, "Hmmm, maybe I can roast Don Rickles with this!"
What about a CHiPs lost episode where "Ponch deseeds Earth's ladies by blue-light-hog-blocking those bug-eyed monsters."
Do you think Happy Birthday to Me is a long lost backyard grilling cousin to Heathers?
Man, you made my day with the puffy coated, bell bottomed Star Wars flashback! I got goose bumps looking into that four decade old mirror. Chills, Okie.

Welcome to the next edition of the SHOCK-O-RAMA Poster Show. Eh...It's another weak entry. The entries get better as you go down the list, but there's not much here to write home about. I am broke, and my reliance on CHEAP POSTERS is evident. The last poster in the bunch cost a pretty penny---but that's the exception. Take a look (if you can spare a wasted few moments from your life) or don't.
But first...
MEL: Yes, SPECTRE is a pretty decent entry into the BOND series. Give it a watch. Thanks for popping by.
THIERRY: Glad you have a soft spot for HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. It's not a great flick (unless you are a kid and it's your first horror film, maybe...), but it's not bad either. I dig it--and I am sure I have more than one copy of the poster. Thanks for adding your anecdote about your seeing the movie. I love personal stuff like that. Cheers!
OKIE: It is always a delight and extreme pleasure to have you stop in for a visit. I especially liked your musings that ALIEN SEED could be a long-lost CHIPS episode. Ha! As for the "four decade old mirror"--eeek! I was there jeans, puffy jacket and pre-disco era "Brady Bunch" shaggy non-haircut as well. WHERE did the time go-go?
STEVE/50s: You LIVE!!!! Awesome to know and HELLO!
Okay--poster time (There's still time to run away and do something more interesting. Don't say I didn't warn you...):
MIDNIGHT SPECIAL:
I have no idea what this is ---and it's only two years old? Ha! It came in a lot with the poster directly below it (nothing to rush down and see....but there's nothing to see here anyway).

THE GALLOWS:
I know I have a signed (by the writers or directors?) mini-poster of this, but wasn't sure about a full-sized one. No, I was not a big fan of this film. Why bother then? Well, the filmmakers and the film are/were made here, where I live. Various local locations were used as the school/theater. More interestingly, the actually "gallows" set (from the stage production in the film) was on display in a local theater for weeks. The writers (directors?) sat at a table signing autographs well beyond the film's box office viability. When it was in its last legs, playing only once a night, they were still there plugging away, promoting it. They even ran a "Gallows"-themed haunted attraction that Halloween at one of the locations. (No, I didn't go.) This was my tribute to the home team in a way. Whoopie...

HIDEAWAY:
This is nothing I needed or wanted. I put in a laughable bid for $3 on a lot that contained this poster and the one below it. I thought I'd be outbid. I was not. OOOPS! Never saw the film. Looks like crap...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R7YozpaxVks/Wx4URyUXWKI/AAAAAAAANxg/dw1gVcIovYYTzxywAHi2a0B4i_GxJWIKwCLcBGAs/s640/HIDEAWAY.jpeg)

FEAST:
Of the two posters I got for $3 (plus $19 buyer's premium...UGH!), this is the poster I prefer.

ZOMBIELAND (Teaser):
I pretty much loved this film. What wasn't to love? You've got zombie survival suggestions, Magic Mountain doubling as some other amusement park, a pre-Oscar Emma Stone, and---oh yes! ZOMBIES! Ha! Great fun. However---I already had this poster. Several copies. WHY did I buy yet another? UGH.

ZOMBIELAND (Advance):
I already have one of these as well. Hmm.

THE BUSY BODY:
I already have a copy (or two?) of this William Castle movie poster. The artwork was done by Frank Frazetta and it is fun looking. I know I saw this flick--and have it on DVD--but I can't remember much about it. (In my head, I am mixing it up with "THE LOVED ONE," I think...) I really, REALLY need to stop buying copies of stuff I have. Grrr.

HALLOWEEN II (Remake) Book Cover Prop:
You know what they say about a fool and his money---or about a sucker being born every minute? I plead guilty to being both--a fool and a sucker. No, this is not a poster. This is a book cover for the faux book "Dr, Loomis" (Malcolm McDowell) is promoting in Rob Zombie's "Halloween 2". I hated that movie, but when I saw the prop cover up for grabs, I went for it. After it was mine, I realized just how stupid I was. DOZENS and dozens of these covers were printed. There is a whole mountain of them in the film alone---and you know they had spares left over. Oh well.

SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY (Advance):
As I thought it might, the new STAR WARS slick "SOLO" is tanking. While not the epic fail of THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL, it is turning out to be a box office dud (even though it has taken in more than $175 million domestically, it is no where near as big of a hit as the previous three Disney-helmed STAR WARS features). (I'm sure it has cost a LOT more to make than it's hauled in thus far...) But knowing what fan boys STAR WARS fans are...when I saw this cheap I snatched it up. Who knows? It may "click" down the road and the prices may go up again (But I will not hold my breath...).

THE GIANT BEHEMOTH:
It is about time I scored one of these---and in super pristine condition. Zowie! I like my giant monster movies and have been after this title for AGES! Speaking of the title, is GIANT BEHEMOTH overkill? I mean, BEHEMOTH would have done nicely...is means HUGE....and giant means HUGE. It's THE HUGE HUGE!? Ha! Whatever...I am just Giant Behemoth-ly thrilled to have it.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3NZRDsJAEko/Wx4URgQuOuI/AAAAAAAANxc/6z3dVQw53T4zfbXxhl0trQEtgkK98FTlgCLcBGAs/s640/GIANT%2BBEHEMOTH.jpg)

And that's it for now. The show (such as it was) is over for now. But I'll be B-A-C-K eventually. (You have been warned. Ha!)

Shawn,
You don't sound to up on this lot...but you've got some winners in there (imo, whatever that's worth :) )
Midnight special was a super cool sci-fi/drama from a few years back. I nabbed that one sheet before it came out.
Feast is a fun, over the top horror. The sequels get crazier and even more of the top, but the first remains my favorite. I still need to get one of those.
I also really enjoyed Zombieland. Hard to go wrong with Woody Harrelson and Bill Murry in the same flick.
Nice work buddy.

Hi Monster!
Can you believe it?! Of course you can, because you really, really did it! 11, count 'em, 11 Cinerama pictures in your last post!!!!!!!!!!! That has got to be an APF record of some kind, right?! Jack Frost, Spider-Man, The Civil War, Shrek's top noggin, kilts, James Rockford, 1963, a bicycle named Julia, hills of Indians?, triple projected rocket boat, and peelable fruit! Heaven...
"The million dollar muff" sounds a lot more fun than it's 1993 indecent cousin, eh?
Wow, Zombieland and Giant Behemoth may lead you down to a path of films ole Okie has actually seen, Monster. Is our Tiki Bar Boo Radley bidding during daylight hours now? Well done on these gems, my friend!
Okie

Okay---welcome back! And, I promise, this is my LAST salute to CINERAMA. Ha! All of the remaining Cinerama pictures I plundered from the internet are here. (And, since there are so many photos, you get more than 10 posters this time! Yowza!) Hang on tight and get ready for an action-packed, ultra-widescreen ride as the SHOCK-O-RAMA POSTER SHOW is ready to take off again...
But first... Hi MEL. Devil worshipper? NOT! I just dig horror flicks. Nothing wrong with a good cinematic scare now and again...
CHRIS! Super nice to see you. It's been a while. I'm glad there are titles in the last batch you liked. It's always a mixed bag with my stuff---trash & treasures...and sometimes things in between. I hope all is well. Thanks for stopping by.
OKIE! Always a pleasure having you here, sir. These are the LAST of the Cinerama pictures (pulled from the 'net and used just for you!). ENJOY them.
And now, on to the posters...

WITHOUT WARNING (aka IT CAME WITHOUT WARNING):
I do remember seeing this flick in the theater (under the "Without Warning" moniker) and I remember liking it. I am almost positive that it was a double bill, but--even though I can tell you what theater I saw it in--I can NOT remember what the other movie was. Hmm. I don't remember much about the movie, but that it was kind of a nifty lil flick. The ending was a bit of a surprise, but I don't want to give anything away. I am sure I have a copy or two of this poster already---but dummy me can't seem to help buying the same posters over and over and over. Ha! And I do so seemingly without warning. (Bad pun).

THE MAN FROM S.E.X.:
I know this is a British spy spoof with ribald undertones. I remember this coming to town (I used to be in the newspaper daily staring at the movie ads). I have never seen it, of course. Some day maybe. But what I would really like to track down is the "MAN FROM O.R.G.Y.: The Real Gone Girls" movie (I have the poster for that as well). I can not find it any where.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EcBCE6DQRZc/WyHmol8bCCI/AAAAAAAANy0/tayyGgSIFvYpaBSqZCp5msuFf-C4vzPcgCEwYBhgL/s1600/man_from_sex_SD13890_B.jpg)

THE NOTORIOUS DAUGHTER OF FANNY HILL:
I would probably have passed on this---except I've been trying to track down one of the posters ("FANNY HILL MEETS THE RED BARON") from Barry Mahon's "Fanny Hill" trilogy that I do not have yet. (I already have "FANNY HILL MEETS LADY CHATTERLY" and "FANNY HILL MEETS DR. EROTICO"). So---because it is Fanny Hill-ish---why not? (I'll regret it later. i'll never hang it up. But whatever...)

FADE TO BLACK (alternate style):
I already had a FADE TO BLACK one sheet...actually a couple of them. However, I had never seen this style until recently. When one was up for grabs I went up and grabbed it. I need to see this film again. I don't think I've seen it since the VHS era...or maybe since the theater? Has it held up?

PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES (Zombie Eyes promo):
I know this is NOT a poster, but as I tend to do from time to time, I'll buy and share here movie props or promotional giveaway gimmicks. This is the latter... And I am super duper thrilled to have these. A long time ago I got the double feature re-release one sheet for DRACULA PRINCE OF DARKNESS and PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES. I was drawn to it by the gimmick mentioned at the top (see below). Boys got "Dracula Fangs" and girls got "Zombie Eyes". I'm guessing Dracula Teeth are those plastic fangs that fir in your mouth---that where everywhere when I was a kid. But Zombie Eyes? I had no clue and never expected to even see a pair. Zowie! NO--I am not disappointed that it is partially punched out. I'd be thrilled to have them if they were totally punched out---since I have never seen a pair before. They must be RARE. And now, I've got one. Yahoo!

IT HAPPENED IN ATHENS:
I love Jayne Mansfield. Ha! She was so god awful and tacky and totally wonderful. She is like a classier John Waters character come to life. I have several of her posters---but this one had always been hard to track down---especially in English--or so it seemed to me. Yahoo! I got one and it appears to be in great shape. I have the movie, I think...I just have not watched it. Hopefully this is from the end of her career, when the productions were cheap and cheesy. But, YIPPIE!!! I am so excited to have this.

LET ME DIE A WOMAN:
Ha! It's (another copy of) the wacky Doris Wishman "documentary" about sex changes in the 1970s, "LET ME DIE A WOMAN"! "Deep Throat" star Harry Reams is in the flick---and he's about the only recognizable face in the film. I keep thinking that there is graphic footage of a sex change operation---but I am also thinking I am confusing that for a scene in one of those "SHOCKING ASIA" mondo flicks? Hmm. I probably am. This is Doris Wishman after all. She's about titillation (as incompetent as her filmmaking might be), not gross out.

THE FIENDISH GHOULS (aka MANIA) (Re-release):
Snagging an old Peter Cushing poster is always cool. This poster has great art. Too bad it's only a two-color poster. I believe this is another retelling of the old Burke and Hare story of grave robbing. Apparently Donald Pleasance is in this as well.

ARMY OF DARKNESS:
I have one of these---but it is folded and I wanted a nice rolled one. I've tried--not very hard--to snag one for years. The other day I bid on a bunch of stuff before work and lo' and behold...this one was the single item won that day. Hooray! I already have EVIL DEAD 1 and 2.

LADY TERMINATOR:
I've never seen this and I am super surprised something with this title was NOT sued by Orion (?) for copyright infringement on its TERMINATOR series. Ha! This looks like cheese heaven. Anyone see it?

DRAGONSLAYER (British Quad):
This is a beautiful poster for a so-so movie that, I believe, was a co-production of Disney's and Paramount---back in the early '80's when Disney was trying to find its place in the movie world after floundering through the 70s and early 80s. I wasn't wild about this movie---but nifty poster. Zowie!

THE CRAWLING HAND:
I know nothing about this flick. The poster is simplistic and crude. I bid cheap and won cheap. This was the most recent acquisition of mine. I wish I had passed. Oh well.

CHEERS!

Great imagery of that style of the FADE TO BLACK poster. I picked up a UK quad a couple years ago with this same art, as I think it totally blows the other style (which is more photographic) out of the water.

Happy 4th of July! I'm B-A-C-K with more posters. None of these this time as exciting as the fireworks that are probably wiz-banging around your neighborhood at the moment...but they are all NEW to me. a lot of them came from Rich's auction. (Thanks, Rich)
JEFF, thanks for the visit. I'm glad we BOTH have that FADE TO BLACK art. It's cool.

NIGHT OF THE HOWLING BEAST:
This cheap-o two-color poster for one of the Paul Naschy werewolf flicks has titillated me for years. It's a Naschy...but it's kind of boring/lame. I wanted it--but didn't want to pay too much for one. I've lost out on these time and time again. I scored one tonight. Now I'm second guessing my victory.... Ha!

THE LONELY SEX:
I already have two other copies of this poster. Why did I need a third? Argh! But I couldn't let it go by cheaper (and apparently in nice condition) than the other two I got. I've never seen this but know it predates PSYCHO and has some of the same themes. It's supposed to be good, but I have heard the available DVD is edited somewhat...so I'll wait to see it.

WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE (military):
I may never (i.e. NEVER) get an original WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE one sheet. However, I picked up this military version for less than $20. I still should have passed on it---it's kind of dull being only in red and white instead of full color---but... I remember seeing this in a theatrical re-release with WAR OF THE WORLDS in the 1970s.

THE LAST JEDI:
I already have one of these (I think). I couldn't resist a second copy (only $5 at some obscure auction. Yowza!)

DINOSAUR:
Zowie--I have NO MEMORY of this coming out, really. It must have been a stinking flop? We will soon see. i found an super cheap copy on Amazon and I'll soon see why this movie's franchise died before any sequels were produced... Ha! And while we are at it---why NOT get the poster?

SILENT SCREAM:
I remember when this movie came out---the ad on TV made me really want to see it. I was ever so disappointed. Kind of like this disappointing poster. I had one once before, but sold it off years and years ago. Why a new copy? Because I am stupid that way...

CANNIBAL FEROX (aka MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY) (Italian 2F):
This movie is possibly the biggest gross out cannibal horror movie ever---certainly one of the most notorious ("CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST" might actually own that claim). I have the US one sheet under the title "MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY", but have long wanted one with the title CANNIBAL FEROX---it's original Italian title that many still prefer to call it today. So I finally scored the Italian 2F for it. Hooray!

ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST (awards style):
It's an Oscar-winning classic. Why not? (But really? They went with that picture? Hmm.)

THE SAILOR WHO FELL FROM GRACE WITH THE SEA:
I've never seen this flick, but also remember when it came out---it was a quasi-popular something people went to see at the time. I thought the poster was quasi-interesting, with the woman's legs blending into Kris Kristofferson's bell bottoms.

SGT. KABUKIMAN NYPD:
Here's a Troma flick I've never seen (It looked dumb). Why not snag the poster?

And that's it. No fizzle. No pop. No pizazz. It was a dud. Oh well, maybe I'll have better luck NEXT 4th of July.

Good evening...

I thought I'd do something a little different. While I am working on a post of new acquisitions, I thought I'd add a little something "new" to the mix. I gab on and on about my new purchases...but have really, more or less, ignored the stuff I've had for years before movie poster forums/social media/blogs existed (or, at least, before I stumbled on them). So, here is the first of my periodic "Classic Collection" posts. The posters may not all be "classics"--but they were mine before I ever started posting.
For this first batch, I'm digging through my framed stuff. (It's easier to find.Ha!)
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AXLQ03Yl5io/W0PPcqLyRRI/AAAAAAAAOCA/ZSxRGtpPU181oZ1dS5Q1n-u76zoRpd2LQCEwYBhgL/s320/giphy%2B%25286%2529.gif)
Here we go-go:
GODZILLA VS MEGALON:
During the lean years of the original GODZILLA cycle, GODZILLA VS MEGALON was produced on a clearly smaller budget, with several shots recycled from previous GODZILLA outings. But coming to the USA hot on the heels of the 1976 remake of KING KONG, the distributors cleverly went with a poster that depicted Godzilla and Megalon battling it out on the World Trade Center, where Kong had just appeared. Two monsters duking it out instead of just one? Yowza! The film was a hit---but the scene depicted on the poster is NOT in the film. Ha! Groovy poster though.

THE SHE-BEAST/THE EMBALMER (combo):
I had been in love with this poster long before I ever got a copy. Not only is it a double feature (Oooooo) of two very groovy sounding movies (ahhhhh), but the "This is HORROR!! This is TERROR!!" verbiage hooked me. The artwork (especially on THE EMBALMER) is nifty, too. While I've not yet seen THE SHE-BEAST (with BARBARA STEELE--YOWZA!), I was eventually able to view THE EMBALMER...and, well, snore. The poster is way better.

THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (New Line):
Yes, this is just a re-release...but I am fine with it. It has the same artwork and I don't need the original Bryanston version. I first saw THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (finally) on a double bill with the original EVIL DEAD (in its first run---it opened here with TCM as a co-feature. WOWZA! What a great double feature that was). I would like to call attention to the waves visible in the poster. This is not water damage or anything like that. It's the frames. I have about 200 frames from a place a decade or so ago that hold the posters in place in a sort of spring-loaded way---which causes the waves. Any idea how i can fix that (other than replacing the frames)? Thanks!

THE VAMPIRE:
I had never heard of this flick before I bought the poster. It came with two other titles---THE CYCLOPS and another about a WEREWOLF---all vintage from the 50s, I've since seen this flick---eeeh. Instead of being bit by a vampire (spoiler), the guy who becomes a "vampire" in this does so by accidentally ingesting an experimental drug. Fairly snore-inducing...Cool poster, though.

I BURY THE LIVING:
This movie has a cool little premise---but a lame ending. I wish someone would remake it and do it right. But I so dig the bargain basement-looking poster with cheesy verbiage on it. LOVE it!

THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN (Military re-release):
Obtaining Universal horror titles is almost impossible, at least for me. When I came across this military re-release poster, I hemmed and hawed. The two-color military poster looked so "eh" compared to the wondrous colorful original and Reel-Art re-release posters. Ultimately I decided to get it---and I am glad I did. I really have come to like it and have it hanging in my bedroom.

ISLAND OF THE DOOMED:
This was one of the very first posters I ever got...certainly within the first five or so. It took forever for me to track down the movie and give it a watch. Soooo hokey. Nothing great. The poster is better. The pretty cheesy "vampire tree" is only really seen in the last few minutes. But i have always dug this poster. You'll never forget the clutching horror! Ha!

PEYTON PLACE:
PEYTON PLACE is a guilty pleasure. I knew growing up that PEYTON PLACE was supposed to be shocking and scandalous. I tracked down and read the two original books and eventually caught the movies. The movies were not nearly as good---but the first film did click a bit with me, though (even though it comes across as PEYTON PLACE-lite compared to the novel). I scored the one sheet....but had a heck of a time tracking down the one sheet for the sequel. Director Mark Robson is also responsible for disappointing translation (but brilliantly, unintentionally campy version) of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS and the over-the-top disaster favorite EARTHQUAKE! Ha!

PINK FLAMINGOS (re-release):
I love John Waters and dig his flicks---especially the pre-HAIRSPRAY ones. Getting to see PINK FLAMINGOS in the theater back in the 90s was a real treat. Re-release or not, of course I had to get the poster. I don't believe there was ever a one sheet created for PINK FLAMINGOS in its original release any way.

HALLOWEEN:
At one time I had a HALLOWEEN poster with the blue ratings box. I'd gotten it for about $10 with a couple of other posters in a lot. However, the center vertical fold was "off", going up through the "w" instead of the "o". I thought it might be a fake and sold it. I got about $100 for it---but I could kick myself. This was before I understood what a tri-folded poster was. I believe my blue ratings box HALLOWEEN had been a tri-fold that someone had folded in half, causing the crease. GRRR. I'll never score an original blue ratings box copy now...but this is a nice compromise. I got this copy BEFORE I sold off the other copy, when it was still affordable. I dig the poster, of course, and have it hanging in my poster room/office. However, it reminds me every time I see it how stupid I had been to let the other one go. Oh well. Someone else is enjoying it.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD:
Hooray! I had long wanted one of these---who wouldn't? I had DAWN OF THE DEAD, but needed the classic that started the whole zombie thang. At the time I got this, they were selling for about $1,000 plus. The copy I got was being sold by an estate company on eBay. It was professionally framed and matted. The matting made it look like it might have been trimmed. I think the matting may have scared some bidders off and I got this for far less than expected. Phew! Of course, I had to wait for the poster/frame to arrive. I peeled back the back paper and took a look. It was the complete, untrimmed poster in gorgeous condition. Hooray! I have it hanging in the hallway in all of its black and white (and green) late 60s gut-munching glory.

Hi there. It's time for another "Classic Collection" installment---looking at posters I have had BEFORE I started sharing online. Today I am going with more of my framed stuff (most of which sits in a closet). Let's see what I dug up today....
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yqLG0J2hUqo/W0bFGeXZNDI/AAAAAAAAOD4/fGOE3exvJo8LUy_ejKVyj6JZlGyi5wsMACEwYBhgL/s320/111.gif)
GODZILLA'S REVENGE / ISLAND OF THE BURNING DAMNED (combo):
Believe it or not, NOT all of the original GODZILLA movies played in theaters. GODZILLA'S REVENGE barely made it---as the top of a first-run double bill. This is one of the more silly ones---very kiddie friendly and features the SON of Godzilla (Minya---or something like that) as well as the Big G himself and a plethora of monsters. I never saw ISLAND OF THE BURNING DAMNED though...

THE HAUNTING:
It may be slow and old-fashioned, but this is my all-time favorite scary movie. Turn out the lights and watch this alone late at night. It's guaranteed to send chills up and down your spine. Great performances. Great scares. Great sets. Great story---based on a Shirley Jackson book. Forget the remake. It was crap. This original is still the best.

I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE:
Ah, the grindhouse classick! Originally released (and flopped) as DAY OF THE WOMAN in the mid-70s, Jerry Gross (distributor of ZOMBIE among other cool horror classics), slapped on the wonderfully exploitive title and came up with this new ad campaign to really sell it. "This woman has just cut, chopped, broken, and burned five men beyond recognition...But no jury in America would ever convict her!" There are only FOUR men in the flick, but why not say five? it sounds bloodier. Ha! I have often wondered who the model was for the poster as the photo is NOT from the film. Can you imagine the modeling gig assignment? You'll be nearly nude, bruised and bloody and you'll be carrying a knife by the blade. Yowza! Sleaze at its best. Ha!

JAWS 2:
I was surprised to find JAWS 2 framed and stashed away...but then, I used to change out my posters frequently and I am sure I had all of my JAWS (and sequels---and knock-offs) up at least one month during the summer. I did not get to see JAWS or JAWS 2 when they first came out. However, i was there for the re-releases of both in the early 80s.

CASINO ROYALE:
This movie is a MESS. Didn't it have something like 4 different directors? Either Peter Sellers or David Niven (I want to say Sellers, but...) quit before the production wrapped and the movie is just all over the place. Although there was only one James Bond (and a Jimmy Bond), seven people assume the identity of Bond. Original Bond gal Ursula Andress is in this, as is Woody Allen and Orson Welles is Le Chiffre.

THE MASK:
Although I like the poster for the re-release (called "EYES OF HELL") better, I'm not passing up a gimmick film's poster---that clearly shows the gimmick (a cardboard "mask") that allows audiences to see the wild, hallucination-like sequences in 3D whenever the main character puts the cinematic mask on. Such a cool little film.

EYE OF THE EVIL DEAD:
No this movie does not make much (any?) sense---but who cares? Those wigged out Italians made some crazy ass horror movies back in the 80s and this is one of them. From director Lucio Fulci ("ZOMBIE", "GATES OF HELL", THE BEYOND", etc,)

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET:
I have this hanging in my living room, right above my NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET pinball machine (which I still do NOT have up and running. Grrr.). Classic poster for a classic movie. Golly, I still remember going to see this with a group of friends at a little theater complex in town that no longer exists.

PIECES:
I also have this poster hanging. I have it on my bedroom wall near the door to the bathroom. It's not the best layout ever---but the movie is a masterpiece of schlock and ineptitude. I LOVE it. I remember seeing this---being too young, but I am tall, so they didn't question me.

FRIDAY THE 13TH:
This hangs in my poster room (you may notice the stray tube in the lower corner. D'oh!). I have seen every "Friday the 13th" in the theater...Ha! Yes, as old as I am now, I'd still go see a new one if it came out tomorrow. Of course, the same can be said for the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" series and "A Nightmare on Elm Street". (I missed "Halloween 3" in theaters, otherwise I'd count that one too.). I always thought this poster was brilliant and beautiful...unlike most of the other posters in the series which are just so awful and plain.

Stay tuned. I'm almost done with my next posting of new purchases...but I'll also be back with more blasts from my pre-online poster past soon.

Thanks for visiting.
CHEERS!

It took you, Monster, to bring Cesar Romero, Ringo Starr, Vampira a la sublimation, chalk hypno boobies, werewolf dude "wait 'til you see my hair grow" boobies, sargassum air sac face, no-slip groped gal, and vertical undulating Addams all to one place! I salute your eclectic connecting imagery!
Serious question, though, didn't all the Godzilla movies play in Japanese theatres?
Sending you to the Island of the Burning Damned just wasn't spicy enough, let's throw in a quadapus surfer-helmet jellyfish for that extra sting!
If it wasn't for this bad case of wedgie, I'd also bend down and Klingon cut the crap out of your grave.
"...desire fuming brain of a monstrous genius of insanity." What the heck?! Brought to you by the same people who say, "picture movie"! Someone in the mask department kissed the sky a little too much.
"...wigged out Italians..." Sweet equine dreams to you, Monster! Now, why don't you just go to sleep (with the fishes). Careful, careful there, Monster.
Nightmare on Elm Street pinball! Though, sounds like it only works in your dreams, eh?
Your post had a nice finish, with hints of golden age feud.
Congrats, Okie

I'm B-a-a-a-c-k.,, with more posters I've had since BEFORE I started posting.
But beforehand, let me quickly say hello to OKIE and reply to him. Hello, Okie. Thanks for visiting and leaving a note. I rushed this post just so i could answer (or TRY to anyway...) it. Glad you like the various gifs. As for GODZILLA movies, when I said they didn't all play in theaters, I was referring to the one sheet, so I was implying US theaters. i should have been more clear. Sorry. "...desire fuming brain of a monstrous genius of insanity." Where was that? Huh? As for "wigged-out Italians", again I was referring to the Italian filmmakers who created horror flicks in the 80s---NOT Italians in general. Have you ever seen some of the Italian horror flicks of the 80s? They make very little sense but have wild imagination. As for the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET pinball machine. I posted about it some time back (page 52 of this thread). Here is a picture:

I still do not have the legs on it (I can't remember how they attach). I also have misplaced the keys that open it up (in the move) and there was some other damage in the move. I'll need to have it repaired at some point. I've had it for years--a decade or so. Also--glad you noticed the Bette Davis/Joan Crawford photo. Ha! Anyway, thank you for your visit.
Okay--poster time.
So sit back, relax, smoke 'em if you've got 'em (Sorry---I don't have any ashtrays handy as I don't smoke myself) and let's see what I unearth today:

KING KONG VS GODZILLA:
I love KING KONG and GODZILLA. Put them together and...well, it was a hokey but watchable monster fest the world was waiting to see (and yes, I am looking forward to the remake a few years from now). I remember when I bought this poster on eBay years and years ago. I didn't expect to get it as it goes for such a high price usually. But somehow it became mine for far less than I (or the seller) expected. The seller honored the deal, obviously---but he kept telling me how I had gotten a good deal on it and how he was shocked it didn't go for higher. I understand his feelings (I've been burned a couple of times the few times I tried to sell there), but lucky me! LOVE this and have it hanging in the poster room.

ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES:
Oh, I had wanted one of these posters for so long. I got this on eBay back in the day...and remarkably had very little bidding competition and got this for next to nothing. I was stunned as other copies had escaped my grasp for much more many, many times before. (Of course, this was back in the day when posters didn't cost much. $30-$50 seemed like crazy high prices then. Ha!) For years I had this hanging in my kitchen. (Where else would you hang a poster of tomatoes, killer or otherwise?) Today it hangs in the poster room/office.

NIGHT OF DARK SHADOWS:
The 2nd of the films based on DARK SHADOWS and the least popular (as it really does not harken back to the series much. The actors are the same for the most part, but only one character from the show (Angelique the witch) is in it. As a stand alone film, it is fine. But as a DARK SHADOWS story? Hmm.

THE EXORCIST / EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC (re-release combo British quad):
For years, I had this hanging in my living room. It was my first British quad. I would have loved this double feature. I actually like EXORCIST II (for all of the wrong reasons). I actually saw the sequel (on HBO) BEFORE the original (unless you count peeks out the back window of our 1972 blue Ford Pinto at the drive-in where THE EXORCIST was playing on the screen behind us). I finally DID see the original in a re-release (co-billed with THE SHINING) in about 1981 when I was 15 or 16 (but passed as old enough to get into the R-Rated movie. Phew!).

THE GHOULIES:
For years I had this poster hanging above the toilet in the guest bathroom, before I had the shower added to the tub (don't want to take the chance of having steam damage). A towel rack hangs in its place now. So sad... Fun poster for a crappy (in my opinion) movie/series. I do dig the tagline: They'll get you in the end. Ha!

CANNIBAL GIRLS:
Gimmick alert! Of COURSE I had to have this poster. Anything called "Cannibal Girls" (no matter what the film is like) has to be acquired (kind of like VAMPIRE HOOKERS or GRAVEYARD TRAMPS). But to make it even more of a sure thing, it has a great gimmick! It has WARNING BELLS (so you can close your eyes if you are squeamish)! Yowza! How fun.

SCOOBY DOO ON ZOMBIE ISLAND:
Yes, this is a video poster---but it was never released theatrically. I've always dug the Scoobster, so if I wanted posters for the movies---I had to settle for video posters. They started off with the direct-to-video movies with a lot of fanfare for what turned out to be a very decent SCOOBY DOO movie. Zoinks!

EVIL DEAD 2 - DEAD BY DAWN:
I remember buying this poster (and one for the original EVIL DEAD) from some guy on eBay, who said he had saved them to pay for his kid's college. This was several years ago---and he didn't get much for them. O' had he only waited maybe until his kid wanted to go to grad school. I had this (and the original) hanging in my living room at one time. This one was stuffed in a closet. I have not located the other as of yet. It will turn up.

HELLRAISER:
The original HELLRAISER (and it's first sequel) is an amazing horror film. It's too bad the series has devolved into the 21st century version of THE HOWLING series (with all of the bad, cheap direct-to-video sequels left and right). I've long heard rumors of a remake---but would that really be an improvement or, like so many remakes, be an unnecessary kick in the .... I have this poster hanging in my living room, but it's behind the TV. I placed it there because it is tall enough to see what it is over the TV screen. Pinhead is watching you...

PHANTASM:
PHANTASM is a wonderfully odd little movie that kept trying to be as cool with each succeeding sequel. The sequels never really worked for me (but they kept the actors/director employed). The last one in the series was a complete letdown. They should have just let the original film stand on its own with its quirky weirdness. It was a fun flick. This poster is hanging in my poster room.

DAYLIGHT:
Snore. Dull poster (and I already have a copy or two), but the movie was, I thought, entertaining. Back in the 90s there was a brief resurgence of the disaster movie genre, probably sparked by the amazing success of TITANIC. We got flicks like DANTE'S PEAK, VOLCANO, TURBULENCE...and DAYLIGHT. DAYLIGHT was the story of dueling explosions at either end of the Holland (?) Tunnel in NYC, which trap motorists under the Hudson River. And, of course, it starts to flood. Can Sylvester Stallone lead the people to safety? What do you think? It was a flop, but it did have elements of THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE in it.

THE REUNION:
I have NO IDEA what this is. I never heard of it until I came across the poster for it. Clearly it is ripping off AMERICAN GRAFFITI and HAPPY DAYS...and possible beach movies? The tag at the top, "It was fun in '61," was not so subtly designed to remind you of GRAFFITI's "Where were you in '62?" And "Flash back to the happy days at surf city high"? Ha! Shameless. It's probably crap. I'd love to see it.

SEE NO EVIL:
A friend of mine remembered this movie fondly and i tracked it down for him. We watched it and...I wasn't impressed and neither was he, seeing it all of these years later. It seemed to be a sort of WAIT UNTIL DARK knock off with a blind Mia Farrow instead of a blind Audrey Hepburn as I recall (but I could be wrong). I shouldn't have bothered getting the poster, but...

PREACHERMAN:
I've never seen this flick, but it's grindhouse reputation was enough to bid on this poster---which I got at an amazingly low price. Followed by the sequel PREACHERMAN MEETS WIDDERWOMAN. I'm NOT kidding.

THE OLD DARK HOUSE and MANIAC (re-release combo):
I paid a bit too much (I think) for this poster, considering the extra folds running up and down it's center portion. But I had to have it. I totally dig William Castle. This movie is just so-so...but this poster uses completely different art than the poster for the first release. The co-feature, MANIAC, is an old Hammer thing.

MARDI GRAS MASSACRE:
After visiting New Orleans in 2015, I decided I HAD to have one of these posters...and I tracked one down. I paid about what I paid for this one (maybe a little more?), but that one was in a bit rougher condition than this one is supposed to be in. Of course, then I saw the movie. It wasn't really a "horror" movie. It was more like a police procedural. Whatever. It is still a sleazy but sweet looking poster and they are not that easy to find.

A WITCH WITHOUT A BROOM:
I already have a copy of this poster---but have never seen the flick. It looks like a knock-off of BEWITCHED (even using the name in the ad copy) and I DREAM OF JEANNIE...and it stars the original choice for captain of the USS Enterprise, Jeffrey Hunter. I'd love to see it.

THE WILD PARTY:
I've never seen the movie, but have always liked this poster. For a while, I was trying to track down all of the posters for films Raquel Welch was in ( I still need FANTASTIC VOYAGE at the very least), but realized I'll never hang them up. I have too many cool horror titles I'd rather enjoy on the walls. But I am glad to finally have this title.

SINBAD OF THE SEVEN SEAS:
Okay, so this is not much of a finale to my current new acquisitions thread. However, this IS the most recent thing I bought. You are shaking your head, don';t deny it. A Lou Ferrigno Sinbad movie? It's got to be AWFUL! I am sure it is, too (Haven't seen it). That is the point though. I love my cheese and I really would like to track this movie down some day. I have a LOT of SINBAD posters---those made in "Dynamation" as well as other obscure ones. I needed this one to go with them. Did I already have it? Possibly, but I don't think so. How bad is this? Anyone ever see it?

Hi there. It's time for another batch from the "classic collection", posters I had long before I ever started posting about them. Ready? Here we go-go!
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tmC0GwPDZXM/W0rY5ENxKGI/AAAAAAAAOJY/KBE_JEtH4sYkGs3xbiPtdnsA9OmbnSPiACEwYBhgL/s320/161da3771eaded8df2b54ad3e2ec0c7c.gif)
BLACK XMAS (remake):
I don't think I ever bothered to see this remake. I got this poster from the theater. They just arbitrarily had a bunch of posters in a bin that said "FREE". I dug and didn't see much...but a horror flick? Yes, I'll take it. Thanks!

BEYOND THE DOOR:
This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. I love my EXORCIST ripoffs in a big way. But this one has extra perks in it for me. Not only are Juliet ("Nanny and the Professor") Mills and Richard "The Haunting"/"Zombie") Johnson in it, but there are plenty of exterior shots of San Francisco and Sausalito from back in the day (including the freeway along the Embarcadero that is no longer there). And hey, as an added bonus, there is a prologue by Satan himself as he sets up the action on the screen. Ha! Warner Brothers sued but LOST! Thank goodness---because that opened the door to lots of other knock-offs. Hooray!

BEYOND THE DOOR II (aka SHOCK):
This is not a true sequel. The only thing this film has in common with the original is the child actor who plays the little boy in both films. This film is really called "SHOCK" and was the last horror film directed by Mario Bava. It is an interesting little flick, but by repackaging it as a sequel to BEYOND THE DOOR probably earned it more box office than it would have gotten otherwise. I liked the similar-but-different newspaper ad over the poster that featured the boy morphing into the demonic cherub shown below. For years I searched for a poster version of the ad...but I have never seen one, so I guess they were never made. There was a BEYOND THE DOOR III that went straight to video. I saw it a zillion years ago on VHS. It was about some possessed train or something like that. It was disappointing. Waaaagh! Maybe some day there will be a Part 4 or a remake? Ha.

SHAME IN THE CITY:
Ha! This movie MUST be a hoot. It looks so cheesy and dated. The "Street" Girls! The Strip Joints! The Drug Addicts! The "Art" Models! Every vice you ever thought of...and some you never knew existed! Too funny.I had this hanging in my guest room at one time. My friend Ricki came and I had taped her name to the plexiglass cover announcing her as the star. Ha!

DETROIT ROCK CITY:
I bought this poster as a gift for my brother. He was a big KISS fan and KISS is apparently featured in the film and is featured on the poster. When he moved, he left everything behind more or less. I reclaimed it and should put a new poster in its place.
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sXaAfoutIBc/W014yAPuirI/AAAAAAAAONU/1ZgrmfHwUtERQgx9CgltQYXladoOreBBgCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_2402.JPG)

MULHOLLAND DR.:
Possibly David Lynch's masterpiece. I loved this film when I first saw it. I watched it recently and wasn't that thrilled with it (of course, my mother was watching it as well at that time, so...). I have both styles of the poster--but this was the one I came across now. The other will turn up eventually.

JASON X:
The 10th FRIDAY THE 13th flick set in space. I liked it okay, but still do NOT understand the motivation of coming to Earth to pick up Jason's body to haul off somewhere else in the galaxy. If they knew who/what he was, you'd think they'd have a clue that he was bound to come back to life and kill again. Ha! Still, the poster is okay---certainly it is better than MOST of the posters that came before it.

CASINO ROYALE (remake advance):
I was skeptical about Daniel Craig's debut as Bond, but this film (and the ones that followed) was AWESOME. I prefer this advance poster over the final release version (which I do have also). I'm so looking forward to the NEXT Bond flick. Whoo hoo.

VACANCY:
This was such a savage and shocking idea for a movie. I totally dug it---but the idea behind it is so frightening. Jeepers.

THE WARRIORS:
I saw this movie when I was about 13 or so (on a double bill with Cheech & Chong's Up In Smoke). I was bothered by all of the drug stuff in UP IN SMOKE (our next door neighbors were druggies---and there were a few too many scary incidents related to them), but fell immediately in with the story in THE WARRIORS. It was great, very suspenseful and I really liked it. The poster was impossible to get and I tried for years to get one. Imagine my surprise when I opened a box and realized I already had one. Ha!

Hello, it's time for another look at some of the posters I had before I ever started posting online. I thought, for this one time, it might be nice to post these "classics" alongside some classics of literature (that never existed). That was probably a dumb idea (it IS a dumb idea, actually). At the time I collected these images, though...it was a fun idea. So, just to use them up, here they are.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oJWRANqN9eA/W07xCAiIH9I/AAAAAAAAOOc/sG4PFz8Ojz0E-9JHMyaYVFczuZQO_caZQCEwYBhgL/s320/cbc783a3db3be059eacded9237d37bd7.jpg)
Now on to the posters....
HALLOWEEN II:
I really like this image they used for HALLOWEEN II. I have kept it framed... I used to have it hanging in my bedroom several years ago, but it now resides in a closet. Oh well. It may go back up eventually.

DIE SISTER, DIE!:
I dig this fun, creepy, nightmarish poster. Too bad NOTHING like this happens in the snore-inducing movie.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KoFTX4p_X4k/W1LH6oE15XI/AAAAAAAAORg/mJP8nCUy7NQ78Ym6I3Q1FRnddbQ1HjvZACEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_2453.JPG)

PROM NIGHT:
Jamie Lee Curtis, who appeared in this fresh from her success in "HALLOWEEN", apparently refers to this film as "Disco Death" (I read that somewhere). Whatever. It is still fun (and unintentionally funny)---and way better than the remake. See: Jamie Lee as a disco queen strutting her stuff on the dance floor! See: Leslie Nielsen in (one of?) his last dramatic roles before becoming a full-time funny guy ("Naked Gun", "Repossessed", etc.) See: Jamie Lee Curtis fall for the most boring and wooden male lead in horror history and find yourself actually hoping he gets killed. Followed by 3 unrelated (except they all take place at "Hamilton High") sequels and the dull remake.

WINTER A-GO-GO:
Aside from the fact this poster is for a namesake Go-Go "cousin", why is this poster framed? I would occasionally deck out my house with winter themed posters in the winter months. I've stopped doing that. This poster remains framed though because I can NOT get some of the screws in the back loose. GRRR!. Whatever. Here is a winter BEACH PARTY ripoff ( the BEACH PARTY series had it's own winter flick, SKI PARTY) that featured musical acts you've never heard of.

CREEPSHOW 2:
Normally, I would never have bothered buying a CREEPSHOW 2 poster (probably). I received one as a gift, although it was not in the best condition (folded an extra time or two). I bought this as a replacement and stuck in a frame when the friend came to visit. I can NOT get the screws loose on the back to change it out. So it sits in the closet...

BIG TOP PEE WEE:
I raced to see this when it came out, having loved PEE WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE so much. Yeah, I was disappointed. Hmm. Oh well. It had its moments...and Pee Wee did have a talking pig named Vance. Still, I dig Pee Wee. This was hanging with the BIG ADVENTURE poster in a guest room at one time. Now it sits in the closet.

ZOMBIE:
This is a great poster that conveys what the movie is about---and it's just a photo from the flick with a startling tag line. We are going to eat you. Classic horror/gore flick. This used to hang in my bedroom, but for now it is stuck in a closet.
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ir99Oqvguv4/W1LH77ekgGI/AAAAAAAAOSQ/XZ6rlizAkcQKkgoWbq_1P5cqiB9MKn6TQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_2468.JPG)

AIRPORT '77:
I love the movies (and posters) of the 70's disaster era. I had this hanging in my dining room years ago along with AIRPORT '75 (my favorite). I later swapped out '77 for THE CONCORDE: AIRPORT '79 (second favorite--so bad it's funny). Now it just sits in a closet. AIRPORT '77 was the first AIRPORT flick I got to see in the theater. Why wasn't there an AIRPORT '81 or AIRPORT '83 etc.? Waaaagh!

EYES OF LAURA MARS:
This isn't much of a poster (just a faint shot of Faye Dunaway's face)--and it was hard to photograph (This was my best attempt...sorry for the flash glare, etc.). I won tickets to the opening night of this from a local radio station. I had to have my mother go with me as I was only 13 at the time. But my mom and I loved this movie. It's more of a suspense thriller than a true horror flick.. But, yowza! Such an interesting movie (to me). From a story idea by John Carpenter (before he was anyone famous really---this came out in August 1978, before HALLOWEEN debuted). I know it is pretty much forgotten today and even then it didn't have much of a reputation---but Mom and I both found it suspenseful and shocking. I guess I just saw it at the right time in my life for it to stick with me. The poster lives in my closet though...

GODZILLA 1985:
The big budget (well, sort of) reboot of the original GODZILLA...complete with Raymond Burr reprising his role of a reporter covering the story. I saw this at the drive in. It wasn't great---but was okay. It was the LAST cinematic appearance of the Big G on US screens until the awful Matthew Broderick version that appeared in the late 90s. I've been trying to track down all of the GODZILLA posters between the original and this one. I only have a few left to go (including the It's-So-Expensive-I'll-Never-Have-One original poster for the original flick. This is a nice poster if not the greatest movie.

Good stuff as ever, MAGGS! I always enjoy stopping by your thread. A lot of framed ones in the last couple of updates - was that just for the photos? Or do you have all of those hanging? Happy collecting!

Interesting composition, and nice artwork of Ms. Brinke Stevens, and all. 8) Although that style is a little dark for me, seeing a poster or dvd/video cover like that would be compelling to check out the movie.

Hi Monster!
Your bookshelf selections are helping me understand why your neighbor(s) may be booby trapping your home entry points! I expect your bookmobile may be sanctioned only by that "other company" library.
You are frame wealthy, my brother, and apparently closet, closet wealthy!
That's sure a lot of eye brow hair peaking out of those Prom glory peepholes.
Buff, go, and snow, sure can make for a golden ski adventure!
"Big Top Pee Wee" was just too close to "Pop a Tent Wee Wee", and we know the fate of that story...
"We are going to eat you," said Charles to Camilla. Sorry, does anyone even remember that tawdry, tabloid talk anymore? It is a bit of the walking dead now.
I think Faye Dunaway is watchable in any film, and Tommy Lee Jones seems to always deliver as well.
Nice going, Monster!
Okie

Hi there. It's time for another Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. It's still summer and I thought I'd just use up the gifs that were bottom o' the barrel that have been sitting in my files forever. You'll see why they're left overs. Ha! Mostly they are guys--and is that some boy band? Whatever---this really is the last of the crappy beach/summer gifs. The posters are rather hodge-podge themselves. Not a lot to see---as you'll see.
Did everyone tune in for the great Heritage Auction major auction today? I watched---but didn't bid. I'm broke and in the process of refinancing my house. I was told not to make any big purchases until escrow closes. Sigh. There were so many goodies. I'd have loved to just scored one. oh well. Next time, perhaps. How did YOU do?
Let me quickly say hello to my visitors.
Hi Mel. Yes, you have me pegged. I like my MONSTERS. I may have to look for that book. Any good?
Tob, yes many shown recently are framed. In addition to showing new acquisitions, now that i am more settled back into my house, i thought I'd go ahead and show some of my other posters I had long before joining APF. At one time I valiantly-yet-foolishly tried to frame all of my posters. I have more than 200 in frames. I do have many up on my walls---but most are unfortunately crammed into closets or where ever I can fit them. The hundreds...well, probably THOUSANDS of others are crammed in boxes or tubes. I still have a long way to go before i know just what I have.
Neo/Brandon, I am glad you like the art for DIE, SISTER, DIE. The poster is the best thing about the film...but that is NOT Brinke Stevens. That is supposed to be Antoinette Bower. This is from 1978 and not very good. But you are right. The artwork DID get me to check out the movie. Ha!
Okie...your usual, funny, weird ramble is always welcome. (And I do remember the Charles/Camilla scandal) Glad you liked the posts.
Thank you all for visiting.
Now let the poster games begin....

HERBIE GOES BANANAS:
Ever have one of those moments where you see a poster for auction and think 'I know! I'll start collecting that series.' Thus I have HERBIE GOES BANANAS. Oops. What was I thinking? I only saw the first two HERBIE movies---when I was a CHILD. I never saw this one (or HERBIE GOES TO MONTE CARLO...or even the remake/sequel thing with Lindsey Lohan). Oh well.

TIARA TAHITI:
I have no clue as to what this movie is. I had never heard of it before until I saw the poster. Tahiti sounded tropical. Future tiki room (bar) poster? Maybe. It was cheap...but not that exciting. (Maybe it would look better after a few Mai Tais?)

GOR:
I have no idea what this is. I've seen the GOR books--but never read any. This movie looks like it was probably BAD. Ha! This was a cheap-o. Why not?

THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM (Italian 4F 1975 re-release):
I kind of wish I had NOT gotten this. There are a couple of things about I'm not thrilled with. The guy on the slab and the blade are the same artwork as on the US poster...and I didn't realize until too late that it is a 4 foglio size---meaning it is in 2 pieces, which I hate. They're just TOO BIG! Oh well. The image of Vincent Price is a nice added feature.

SON OF SAMSON:
Yes, I already have this poster---but it was less than $7 and I do like my "Hercules movies". Have I seen this? Hmm. I think I have (probably have), but do not recall now.

THOSE REDHEADS FROM SEATTLE (3D):
Well, YAHOO! Another vintage 3D title from the 1950s. This was part of the 3D explosion of 1953 (following the breakout success of BWANA DEVIL, the first 3D feature length movie in 1952) that saw the release of 29 3D feature films and numerous 3D shorts. While I have several vintage 3D posters....this one was not one of them until now. This is allegedly in better shape than it looks. I've never seen this, but it stars Agnes (Endora from "Bewitched") Moorehead? Oh my. I can NOT imagine her in a musical. Ha! Wish I could see it (but only if it were in 3D, of course).

THE YELLOW HOUSE ON PINNASBERG:
Ha! Talk about phallic... This poster made me laugh---so, since it was under $5, I bought it. I looked this up (after buying it). Apparently it is a West German sex comedy from the early 1970s about a brothel for frustrated and lonely housewives (staffed by mostly men--hence the shape of the house, perhaps?). Also known as "The Sex Nest" apparently. I've never seen it---it would probably suck--but the poster is ribald fun.

CONCORDE AFFAIR (aka CONCORDE AFFAIRE '79 and S.O.S. CONCORDE) (Italian 2F):
Zowie! Italian filmmakers, especially in the '70s and '80s, were the kings of copyright infringement. Thank goodness, or we wouldn't have such jewels as ZOMBIE or BEYOND THE DOOR, etc. Universal Studios was prepping to unleash its 4th AIRPORT flick on the world, THE CONCORDE: AIRPORT '79, when the Italians beat them to the punch with this ripoff---CONCORDE AFFAIR (which was widely released as CONCORDE AFFAIR '79. See the confusing similarity? Ha!). This is one of the few disaster flicks I've not yet tracked down and watched, but I have seen the French trailer(under the "S.O.S. CONCORDE" title: https://youtu.be/0ZVd9KdrwHI (https://youtu.be/0ZVd9KdrwHI)). It looks like the movie is all over the place, ripping off more than just the AIRPORT series. The trailer I saw has a shark, a boating disaster (small scale), chase scenes (on land), etc. And this film apparently does its best to combine THE CONCORDE: AIRPORT '79 with the previous AIRPORT '77 by having it crash/become submerged under the ocean on a ledge (as shown with a ridiculously lousy model). This isn't the most interesting poster ever (far from it), but I am happy to have it to add to my disaster collection.

SKYSCRAPER:
I know this is probably just another Dwayne Johnson movie....but it looks like it could be very TOWERING INFERNO-esque (just with Dwayne Johnson getting in the way doing Dwayne Johnson-type things). The disaster element was the draw for me here. No, I have not seen the movie yet---but I may. (I sat through SAN ANDREAS and RAMPAGE for the earthquake/Kong-esque parts.)

SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (Italian 2F 1963 re-release):
I had a French re-release of SON OF FRANKENSTEIN, which I sold a while back. I kind of regret that (classic Universal horror in any form is kind of hard to find), but I just was not wild about the poster. This Italian poster has different art than I've ever seen for a Frankenstein flick. It's nice. I'm not sure if I love it or not, yet. The creature's skin tone is the same as the other guy's...not green, gray or pastey or bluish. He is wearing his typical, stylish outfit though (blazer, t-shirt, pants--although they almost look like blue jeans). With the chain, this almost makes it look like a Frankenstein juvenile delinquent story. It is a colorful poster, though. I'm hoping it will grow on me.

Welcome back! It's another look at my "classic collection"--posters I had BEFORE I started posting online. This time, we are surrounded by more "classic" books that never existed (the leftovers from before---and these really are the last of 'em. Promise!).
Hi RICH. Glad you liked the PIT/PENDULUM poster. Thanks for visiting.
Now, let's see what I dug up today, shall we?
DIARY OF THE DEAD:
Yet another sequel to the amazing NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. George Romero churned out six of these--NIGHT, DAWN, DAY, LAND, DIARY, and SURVIVAL (OF THE DEAD). They were not always great---and none after equaled the shock of the first two--but they were all at least good and better than a lot of the other junk that has gone straight to video.

KING KONG LIVES:
One of the all-time worst sequels/movies---I loved it! Ha! So bad it was awesome. So, of COURSE, I had to have the poster. If you have not seen this flick, you owe it to yourself to do so...for it's jaw-dropping unbelievability. See KONG get a Volkswagen-sized artificial heart. See KONG and "Lady Kong" (really!) escape together and spend a romantic night on Honeymoon Ridge (really!). See the birth of (totally out of proportion) "Baby Kong"! You'll be amazed this was ever released---let alone MADE! Zowie! You just can't make crap like this up. Ha!

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (remake lenticular):
Yes, I rushed out to see this. NOT because I thought the movie would be good, but because it was in 3D. This was, I think, the first BIG hit in the modern 3D revival. I wasn't thrilled with the film--nor was I thrilled with the posters for it, but I was lucky (?) enough to snag the lenticular version. Now i just need the lightbox to hang it in. (Sorry for the reflection of the other posters on my wall)

SHARKBOY AND LAVAGIRL (lenticular):
No, I did NOT see this flick...but gladly bought this poster for it as it was a groovy lenticular. Love those lenticulars...

MOTHER'S DAY:
This was an awesome, yet harrowing, movie. I believe it was unrated. In many ways, it reminded me of I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE. Thrilled with the poster. Classick horror.

GRINDHOUSE:
I was fortunate enough to go to the sneak preview showing of this in my town. I expected the theater to be packed and got there hours early. Not many people were there. I was stunned. When the film flopped, I was equally stunned. While I wasn't a fan of DEATH PROOF, i loved PLANET TERROR and all of the fake trailers (I'm still hoping they'll actually make THANKSGIVING like they did with MACHETE).

WEEKEND MURDERS and THE BLACK BELLY OF THE TARANTULA (combo re-release):
I dig having this combo double feature poster more than I would having posters for each individual film (which I may have?). I love the images and the double feature adds to the cheesiness of it all. No, I've never seen either flick. Do I need to?

CONAN THE BARBARIAN (remake):
I won this poster in a contest promoting the film---and I am thrilled about it. I saw the flick in 3D. It was okay. However, what makes this poster special is because it is autographed by three of the stars in it; Jason Momoa, Rose McGowan and Rachel Nichols.

CORPSE BRIDE:
Tim Burton's stop-motion follow-up to A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS was not the big hit Jack Skellington's flick was---but it was still quite visually stunning in Burton's own unique way. I dig the poster.

MULHOLLAND DR.:
Here is the other style of poster for David Lynch's masterpiece (I posted the other style a while back). Of COURSE I needed these. Love my David Lynch stuff. I'm savoring the 25-years-later third season of TWIN PEAKS now. I am glad to see Naomi Watts (from this film) appearing in the series.

SILENT MADNESS:
Here's one of the 80s 3D flicks I missed---as it NEVER played here. Waaaagh! Although i am sure it is crap-o-rama awful, i'd love to see it in axe-n-your-face 3D. Zowie!

FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER and CURSE OF THE VOODOO (half sheet):
The first time I ever heard of this movie or saw the poster art for it was when I stumbled on the auction for this half sheet. WOW! The poster was in rough condition---something I would normally avoid---and was a half sheet (I also avoid those) but I HAD to have it. I bid way, way, WAY too much---but I really needed it. I won it and had it framed. I was have since gotten a pristine one sheet for this combo---which is hanging in my hallway now. Crappy movie---but I LOVE the poster.

Okay--that was actually 12 posters (instead of my usual 10)(I was using up all of the "book" spacer photos). There are LOTS more in the closests, boxes,and tubes. Stay tuned. And now, what an ordeal. It's time to get some rest. Tomorrow is another day.

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! Today we are returning to the vaults for more "classic" posters from my collection (posters I had BEFORE I started posting them online). With the exception of the first two, the bulk of this post will be devoted to JAWS knock offs. Joy! I do want to apologize for the photos---I am no photographer (and you'll see why I usually post the photos from the auctions I win from). So let's let the poster parade begin!

REVENGE OF THE SHOGUN WOMEN (3D):
I love this poster.I've never seen the movie--and probably never will. It's a long forgotten martial arts movie from the '70s. Snore. But why do i love the poster? It's just the art. It really tries to convey the 3D experience. The characters and their weapons are popping off of the painted screen while the audience members below scramble to dodge out of the way. Couple that with some eye=popping color and you have a fun poster. In fact, this was the VERY FIRST framed poster I hung up in my house as an adult.

HILLBILLYS IN A HAUNTED HOUSE:
Ferlin Husky (who?) is B-A-C-K. After the moderate success of LAS VEGAS HILLBILLYS (featuring Mamie Van Doren and Jayne Mansfield!), a sequel came about---this time set in a haunted house. Yowza! Joi Lansing filled in for Mamie...and horror has-beens John Carradine, Lon Chaney and Basil Rathbone are on hand for the horror hijinks. Silly--and filled with country music performances (O' the horror of that!).

JAWS (re-release):
Until I got my copies of the original JAWS poster, I had to settle (for years and YEARS) with this re-release poster. That was okay--it was still the same iconic image--but every time I looked at it, it made me want the original that much more. Ironically, I never saw JAWS in the theater until the re-release. Ha!

PIRANHA:
This was a great little flick (--and it's already been remade twice! Jeepers). I had been shipped off to my bio-father's house for the summer (he lived in the mountains--miles from any theater) when this came out---so I didn't get to see it at first. I later caught it as a co-feature for another film (the poster for it is below. I'll mention it when we get there) and loved it. This is probably my favorite JAWS knock-off.

PIRANHA II: FLYING KILLERS:
PIRANHA II: FLYING KILLERS (aka PIRANHA II: THE SPAWNING) was a dud. The flying piranha were cool---and they made for a nifty poster--but the over all movie was WEAK. I first saw this poster while traveling through Europe in 1981. Zowie! The art made me really want to see the film desperately...but I had trouble with the title as it was usually printed in another language (Spanish, French, Italian, German? I was all over that summer...). I missed it in my home town (I was travelling), but from what I could see, it only played at a drive in when it was here. Oh well--the poster is cool.

KILLER FISH:
I remember seeing the ad in the paper for it when it came out. Ooooo I wanted to go so badly. I didn't get to see it until it debuted on TV (NBC, as I recall) in the fall of 1981. I remember that as I had just gotten back from my stint as an exchange student to Chile. When I saw this flick, I was so taken with it because it featured the Brazilian airline Varig (which had been the airline we had flown from Florida to Rio and then over to Santiago in Chile---and back). While on Varig, at the tender age of 16, I was pleasantly surprised when the stewardess (they were still called stewardesses then--not flight attendants) gave me a bottle of wine with dinner---without asking for ID or charging me for it. Zowie! On the way back home, I had stopped in a duty free shop and purchased a stuffed real piranha while in Rio. So a piranha movie with Varig airlines taking place in South America really resonated with me at the time. The movie is just so-so (dig that cheesy tornado that comes and goes so quickly. It looks like someone doodled it onto the film stock. Ha!), but fun in a campy way.

GREAT WHITE (Teaser):
When this came out, I was in high school. I'd look at the San Francisco Chronicle and Los Angeles Times movie ads in the school library. I saw this picture in the SF paper WEEKS before the film came out...but already knew I HAD to see it.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a234lshDLcg/W1-rwVGtnoI/AAAAAAAAOak/tCF16bQNpjcE5bPdybgn9as5XrNmWqvlwCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_2590.JPG)

GREAT WHITE:
When this film came out, it was immediately slapped with a lawsuit by Universal Studios for copyright infringement/plagiarism. I read about the court case in the paper daily. Oh my stars! I HAD to see this. I rushed down to the theater showing this one day via foot/bus---that's how badly I wanted to see it. Yes, it was pretty crappy...but in an awesome way. I am so glad I got to see it, because the very next day it had been yanks from the theater and some double feature of movies that had recently had their run was put in to finish off the week. Universal won the suit---I mean, the lead character is a writer (not a police chief) named Peter Benton (similar to JAWS author Peter Benchley). There is a mayor bent on keeping shark talk hush-hush for fear it will scare away summer tourists and summer dollars. And there is Vic Morrow doing his very best Robert Shaw as Quint imitation.

CROCODILE:
I caught this on video back in the VHS era...and was surprised to find it had played theatrically when I came across this movie poster. Of COURSE I bought it instantly. What a cool poster.

UP FROM THE DEPTHS:
Back in the late 70s and early 80s, I would spend the weekends with my grandmother and we would go to the movies. I usually ended up dragging her off to see some horror flick---which she hated. After going to see DAWN OF THE DEAD with her (I had to---the theater was treating it like an R Rated film and I was only 13 at the time), I knew I could not do that to her any more. (She had walked out of DAWN OF THE DEAD and spent the rest of the movie in the lobby.) So I began to look for alternate movies she could watch while I watched my horror flicks. When UP FROM THE DEPTHS came out, it opened at a 4-plex and was co-billed with PIRANHA. Ooooo I HAD to see that double bill. But what was there for grandma (and my younger brother, who was also along that weekend). I sent them to THE MUPPET MOVIE (which started a long time after my double bill did and finished way earlier than mine). Towards the end of UP FROM THE DEPTHS, my grandmother and brother snuck into my theater to wait with me and watched the rest of the film with me. They had hated THE MUPPET MOVIE. Ha! Oh well. I tried to appease them. UP FROM THE DEPTHS was lousy and the dialogue did not match the mouths--it was just a tad slow. But I dug it any way. The poster was one of the first things I sought out when I first discovered eBay. SOLD!

Thanks for joining me. That's all today. Now, don't go all to pieces. I'll be back again soon with more posters to share.

CHEERS!
-
So much good stuff here.
Die Sister Die---must find one of these for my good friend Amanda for X-mas!
Corpse Bride---so good---I'm a Burton junkie though.
Piranha---love it and have that one as well!
Great White---ditto.
Love the double features---basically two posters for the price of one! I'm such a sucker for these.
Mulholland Drive--Naomi is just so pretty imo. Big Lynch fan as well.
Crocodile---haven't seen this one. I think I saw Alligator as a kid---the one with gator in sewer.
Grindhouse/Death Proof--I have this one too but have never seen---thinks it's the only Tarantino I've missed.
Good times!

Some of my favorites, and nice way to cap off Shark Week. cool1

Greeting! I'm back again with more of my "Classic Collection," which is posters I had BEFORE I started posting online. (Remember, I have been collecting since I was 11 back in 1976.) Although there is nothing about the original KING KONG in this post (I didn't get my 1956 re-release poster until after I started posting online. My 60's international poster I got a second copy of while I was already online as well---so those will not be included in the "classics collection"). However, there are a few later KONGS and a KONG wanna be. So why not salute the BIG guy anyway?
Before we get to the posters, let me say hello to my recent visitors...
hepcatpunk: Hi there. Thanks for the note. It sounds like we have similar tastes. We even have some of the same posters, it sounds like (PIRANHA and GREAT WHITE). Good luck finding a DIE, SISTER, DIE for your friend. The poster is cool, but the movie is utter crap. Because of that, I believe you can still find copies at fairly reasonable prices (but even as I say this i notice how poster prices keep going up and up! Jinkies!). Stop by here any time.
Neo/Brandon: It is always a pleasure having you visit. It was Shark Week? Ha! Who knew?
Okay---FINALLY. Here are 10 more "classic" finds from closet...

KING KONG ESCAPES:
Zowie! It's KING KONG VS MECHA KONG in this wild Toho take on the great ape. The 2nd (and final) Japanese Kong is still obviously a man in a (bad) monkey suit---but hello? It's KING KONG! You gotta love it.

KING KONG (1976 remake):
The 1976 remake may not hold a candle to the original, but it did introduce us to (future) Oscar winning actress, Jessica Lange and di have several other things going for it (like an incredible score by John Barry),. It also had a great poster. This image was EVERYWHERE in the fall of 1976. It was on magazines, on T-Shirts, on beach towels, on lunch boxes, on Slurpee cups at 7-11 and even on trading cards. True--everything is out of scale (the girl, the ape, the aircraft and the buildings), but it is still an awesome look at what the movie promised. (And it was so ingrained in people's minds that it was borrowed for GODZILLA VS MEGALON, with the two monsters duking it out on the World Trade Center, even though that scene never takes place in the film!) I actually got to go up on the roof of one of the towers once (in 1998). I am terrified of heights, so I didn't stay up there long. (I also visited the Empire State Building---hitting all of Kong's hangouts, ya know...) I never got close to any railing to look down (if that was even allowed), but I did go to a widow back down in the visitor's center (top floor) and look down. YIKES!

A*P*E (aka SUPER KING KONG) (Turkish):
Made quickly to cash in on all of the publicity surrounding the new KING KONG remake in 1976, A*P*E was sued by RKO when it was first announced (originally it was to be called THE NEW KING KONG), before receiving its title change for US markets. But overseas, it was marketed as a KING KONG film, as you can see by this wonderful Turkish poster below. A*P8E was also made in 3D amazingly, especially considering that this movie only had a budget of $23,000 (in 1976) and was shot in 14 days. TV's "GROWING PAINS" mom, Joanna Kerns, stars in the film (although she is billed as Joanna Deverona (or something like that) in the movie... God knows where they came up with Gilda McDonall for the poster, though! Ha!)

CARRIE:
This is one of the oldest (meaning I've had it the longest) posters in my collection, probably the 2nd poster I ever owned or so. I love this poster for CARRIE. I wanted to see it so bad as a kid---but got taken to AIRPORT '77 instead when my chance came. Drat it all. The movie is a true classic and holds up so well, despite the clothes and the hair. Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie both deserved their Oscar nominations for this amazing film. Forget the remakes and sequel (Yes, there really was a sequel. THE RAGE: CARRIE 2. Look it up!). The original is still queen of the prom.

A NIGHT IN HEAVEN:
Normally I probably would have passed on this flick, but when I had the chance to meet Christopher Atkins once, I snagged this poster and had him sign it (see close up of signature below). I actually got two copies for him to sign (thinking I could maybe sell one down the road---have not done so yet).

ZOTZ:
William Castle was the king of the gimmicks. Everything from Percepto (tiny shocks to the seats of audience members) in THE TINGLER, to a death by fright insurance policy for MACABRE, or a ghost that floated over the audience (EMERGO) in THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL helped him sell his little horror films back in the 1950s and 60s. I'm a Castle fan and have all of his horror movie posters (with the exception of the beautiful and terribly expensive HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL poster). ZOTZ is about a magic coin...and plastic ZOTZ coins were given out to theater patrons. I have one somewhere (an ebay find many years ago).

MY BLOODY VALENTINE:
Here's the poster for a classic 80's holiday slasher flick. I think I've picked up other copies over the years (it's always nice to have a spare). Apparently this original version of MY BLOODY VALENTINE was savaged by the MPAA to get an R rating. I thought I had heard talk of a special edition video release or something like that with the censored parts restored, but I don't think anything has come of it. The remake was a lot more gruesome and bloody (and in 3D to boot) than the original ever thought of being.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND ('70's re-release):
'Tis Brillig! I got this poster at the Disney MGM Studios (I think it has since changed its name) in Florida at a small shop that was there (back in 1989) that sold original movie memorabilia for Disney flicks. ALICE IN WONDERLAND was always one of my favorites because it is so nonsensical. The color on the poster is wild, too.

CREEPSHOW:
Although I may have picked up another copy of this a while back (and I know I got the original version with the boy reading the comic book---before Warner Bros bought the film), I know I have had this particular poster since long before I started posting online. This was a fun film, too. Great use of color and a great musical score.

HOUSE OF WAX (1970's re-release):
Although I have the original release poster and the 80's re-release poster, this 70's re-release poster for HOUSE OF WAX is my favorite. This is the poster that was displayed outside of the Country Squire Theatre (no longer in existence) when I went to see it. This film is a fun classic and the 3D in the flick made me a die hard fan of the process and of gimmicks of all time. The fire in 3D made it look as if the chairs right ahead of us were burning (amazing) and the paddle ball sequence was just fantastic. Wow! Wow! Wow! I am ever so glad I got to see this as a kid in proper old school 3D. It was sooooo in-your-face fabulous!

Neo/Brandon: It is always a pleasure having you visit. It was Shark Week? Ha! Who knew?
Thank you, good sir. It's always a pleasure to see your passion for these amazing artworks, flicks, etc.
Shark Week used to always be on the first week of lobster season here in Florida. Now it's on about a week early. That's how I remember when it begins. 8) I'll mention it here next time for the folks here who may be interested.
Another nice set of monsters and what not here. Quite the intense, dramatic ending, also. Well done. clap

Step right up, boys and girls. It's time for the next edition of the SHOCK-A-RAMA POSTER SHOW! What will we have on display today? Some good stuff, some lame stuff...and some stuff I don't usually buy (I'm talking non-horror stuff. I'm looking at YOU, Mel. Ha!). Oh my! Dare you venture inside?
But first: MEL...glad you dig the WONDERLAND poster. Thanks! 8)
BRANDON/NEO: Thank you for the note. Shark Week continues with (poster spoiler) THE MEG below, Ha! Glad you enjoyed the last post. Cheers!
Okay it is poster time. Let's go take ourselves a little looky-loo!
MY BLOODY VALENTINE (3D Remake Final version):
I probably have this already, but was not sure. I know I have the one that plays up the 3D aspect of the film in the poster, with the audience shown being in peril by stuff from the screen coming out. But this one? I just don't know if I have it or not. So.... here it is. I DID see it in 3D at the cinemas. Some of the 3D was okay---but overall, the film just seemed to be an excuse for gore, gore and more gore. Eh... Missed opportunity, I think.

JOHN DIES AT THE END:
I know I saw this flick on Netflix while visiting friends in Oregon a year or so ago--maybe longer? I remember liking it (or did I?), but I do NOT remember the film at all. The poster is...interesting and it is a movie by Don Coscarelli, the director/writer/creator of PHANTASM...so why not?

MEG (Final?):
I got a different MEG poster not long ago.I know that the box office predictions for this are that it will be a BOMB and fail miserably, but I for one am really looking forward to this flick. It looks fun and adventurous. And, hello? It TOOK long enough to get made. I've been hearing about this movie for YEARS. I'll be seeing it in 3D the week it comes out. CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEMINI:
I've never seen the movie, but I've tried for a while to get this poster with art by (Jack Davis??? Is that his name?), who did a lot of work for MAD Magazine. (I think this is the right artist.) I'm surprised I have not seen this---since Madeline Kahn is in it. She was so awesome.

THE THRILL OF IT ALL:
I've never heard of this old Doris Day / James Garner romantic comedy. It wasn't too expensive, so I thought, why not? Like other things I've purchased lately, my mind is on future resale---not so much my keeping it. (But then i have to get off of my but and actually SELL the thing. UGH!)

FULL HOUSE (3-sheet) :
No, this is not in the best of conditions and yes, I HATE 3 sheets. So what am I doing with this BORING poster? Hello? It features an early MARILYN MONROE. I got this to hopefully resale down the road. I only paid $36 for it. Too much? I've never seen the flick. Any good?
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jx8L3FzT65g/W2vLyY9oILI/AAAAAAAAOkc/Ht0yDUCJBYs10CEll5kobzX20Y56_B9iACEwYBhgL/s640/Full%2BHouse%2B3%2Bsheet%2BMM.jpg)

KISMET:
This is actually in a bit worse shape than FULL HOUSE. I don't usually buy posters in such poor condition, but this one I have heard of---and it stars MARLENE DIETRICH!?! Zowie! Again, this is for possible resale down the road. I shelled out $56 for it. Too much? A bargain? Hmm. It will sit in a box until I decide to do something with it, I suppose...

ALPHA (Advance):
I haven't seen this yet as it has not been released yet. However, the preview was intriguing---the fictional story of man and his "best friend" (a dog) meeting for the first time. This takes place in caveman-ish times, but it looks good and I LOVE dogs, so of course I want to see it. The poster wasn't expensive, so why not?

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (Hammer remake):
Years ago, I bought the military-style version of this poster. Despite the lack of color on that military poster, I was entranced by the stunning artwork of the Phantom, stradling a blazing chandelier that is falling onto the audience. I had never seen Hammer's version of the classic tale at the time and could only imagine how the rest of the film played out. (I've since seen the hammer version and ...eh.) When I came across this color version of the same poster--despite the tiny bit of paper loss in the upper right corner and wrinkle/extra fold at the right center fold, I wanted to make this mine. That old military poster will eventually be sold off (if I ever get around to digging it up and sending it off).

INFERNO (Spanish):
Not the best of Dario Argento's films (it never even received an official release in US theaters!), but still interesting and part of the Three Mothers Trilogy started with SUSPIRIA. It wasn't expensive, so why not?

Greetings! It is time for another Classic Collection edition of the Shock-A-Rama Poster Show featuring posters I had BEFORE I started posting online. Today, pulled from another closet, is MORE of my framed stuff. Let's take a look:
But first, MEL, I knew you'd have something to say about the non-horror posters I picked up. Ha!
Okay, on to the posters:
BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS:
Planned as an indirect sequel to VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, but mercifully turned in to a sort of parody of Hollywood (Jacqueline Susann sued 20th Century Fox over this pseudo sequel and won posthumously), this is a really weird but fun cult flick---written by (future) movie reviewer Roger Ebert (!) and directed by Russ Meyer (!!). Jaw-dropping in an awesome way. LOVE it!

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (80s re-release):
Yes, this is one of the re-release posters from the 1980s. (The oldest original I have is DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER.) I am okay with the 80's re-release posters as they use the same artwork as the original releases. Sure, i'd love an original---but these will do until I win the lottery. I dig my James Bond and these re-release posters are the only way I could complete my collection.

THUNDERBALL (80's re-release):
This is one of my favorite BOND posters. I saw one in a comic book store in my teens and wanted it desperately---but they wanted too much for it, like $60 or so. Ha! Had I known then what the prices would be today I'd have somehow gotten that poster. Oh well. This 80s re-release fills the void nicely. I know this is a fan favorite in the series, but I didn't like the movie THUNDERBALL all that much.

A VIEW TO A KILL:
Unless my brain is shorting out, I believe this was the last of the Roger Moore Bond films. It was okay--not great, but not god awful either. I loved Grace Jones as May Day. Christopher Walken was good as the bad guy. Tanya Roberts though... Bad choice. She's had an incredible career and I've never really understood how or why. CHARLIE'S ANGELS, BEASTMASTER, SHEENA, this 007 flick, THAT 70's SHOW and even one of my fave genre flicks TOURIST TRAP. Whatever. Just like Bond on the poster, the aim was off on this one. Oh well. It was Bond and it was enjoyable.

NEW YEAR'S EVIL:
One of the earliest "holiday horrors" in the wake of HALLOWEEN, this flick left a LOT to be desired. Roz (Pinky Tuscadero from HAPPY DAYS) Kelly (this may have been her last gig before she fell off of the planet) and former Universal contract player (and former Mr. Linda Lavin) Kip Niven is the killer (Not a spoiler---you know it is him from the git-go. So much for the whodunnit aspect of suspense). Forgettable---but I dig the poster. I used to hang it in my entryway between Christmas and New Year's. Now it sits in the closet...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gt527LJKTZk/W2zvorhxVLI/AAAAAAAAOlQ/NvIqO3WJ6cIzayeFaGoOH4NDtsQK_uyFQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_2811.JPG)

DOCTOR BUTCHER (aka ZOMBIE HOLOCAUST):
This poster just screams CHEAP---crappy art, sleazy and sensational verbiage. It's clearly a grindhouse classic. This 80s zombie flick (which kind of seems to ripoff ZOMBIE, which itself was a knock off of DAWN OF THE DEAD---HA!) is cheesy fun. I had this poster hanging in my bedroom for several years. It lives in the morgue...er, closet now.

THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE and IN THE DEVIL'S GARDEN (combo):
I love this double feature poster and it used to be in my bedroom on the wall. THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE is a fun Euro-flick with a succubus. There is NO exorcism in the flick (???), so clearly the ad copy on this was trying to cash in on THE EXORCIST in a big way. The devil figure on the left is not in the movie (although I've seen that same image used on a poster for THE WHO). The devil in the movie is really some skinny, creepy/geeky looking tall bald guy with bad teeth in a black robe (right above the word "Devil's"), but he is hardly in it. I like the movie--it's nothing great, just a fun little old school horror flick with marvelous atmosphere. I've never seen IN THE DEVIL'S GARDEN (aka ASSAULT). From what I read, it sounds like it is a kind of slow and plodding British police procedural with possible horrific elements at the end.But the poster is very cool.

RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD:
A zombie classic---the film that introduced "brains" as the zombie food of choice. I was a bit put off by the movie initially because the zombies could talk---but have grown to dig it more and more over time. Followed by 4 sequels. I liked the first sequel, but after that....snore. Great 80s punk zombie art on this jewel.

ABBY:
The blaxploitation take on THE EXORCIST! This flick is kind of hard to find. Warnor Bros threatened to sue for copyright violation. It never did (They DID sue the makers of BEYOND THE DOOR...and LOST), but the studio withdrew the film out of fear they would be sued. Since then it has been tough to track down. But also, it's just not all that good. I was super disappointed when I finally did see it. The poster is kind of fun and look! BLACULA (William Marshall, also the 2nd King of Cartoons on PEE WEE'S PLAYHOUSE) has become THE EXORCIST for this flick. Zowie!

THE EVIL DEAD:
I finally track down my poster for the original EVIL DEAD. I got this (and EVIL DEAD 2) from the same dealer who said he used to work in a theater and was saving the posters to help with his kid's college fund. He should have hung on to them a little longer as I got this (and the other one) for maybe $50 or $60 bucks or so years and years ago---and they are worth far more now. I feel bad for the guy---but glad for me.

And that is it for now. I still have more framed posters in the closests to share---and boxes and boxes to go through. Thanks for joining me. CHEERS!

Welcome to another Classic Collection edition of the SHOCK O RAMA POSTER SHOW, where we look at posters that were in my collection before I started sharing them online. Today, I am afraid, we get a little bogged down with BATMAN stuff (Blame my nephew...). But there are fun things before and after all of that. Let's take a look:
THE HOUSE OF EXORCISM:
Mario Bava's "LISA AND THE DEVIL" was found to be unmarketable in the wake of THE EXORCIST. So, someone went back, shot scenes of Elke Sommer being possessed and added in a priest, spliced it altogether, and voila! You get HOUSE OF EXORCISM. Most of what was LISA AND THE DEVIL remains--and it is Euro-intriguing. The exorcism at the end necessitated the original "shock" ending...but you get the gist of it without that ending. Telly Savalas sucks on lollipops---just as he did in KOJACK. Ha!

BATMAN FOREVER (BATMAN):
My nephew was once into BATMAN in a big way. This was long before the recent series (with Christian Bale). Anyway, my mother asked me to get some BATMAN posters (and frames for them) from some of the BATMAN films to decorate his room. I got seven of them. When he outgrew them, I "saved them". (His mother was going to sell them in a garage sale for $1 each---hello? The frames alone are worth more than that!) Eventually I will get around to swapping them out for other posters. For now they sit in my closet.

Another of my nephew's old BATMAN posters.

And another BATMAN poster from the depths of my closet...

BATMAN FOREVER (TWO-FACE):
Yet another BATMAN poster that needs to have something else put in its frame...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M2BXf2I_6vs/W3PZt3gT2aI/AAAAAAAAOok/0lV236ncDWAfn7I9MORdKrH435IjrSp3wCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_2837.JPG)

BATMAN FOREVER (DR. CHASE MERIDIAN):
I don't know what my nephew thought of this poster. WHO is Chase Meridian (other than the love interest for that particular film?).
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AsgrkaoSDOo/W3PZuoktSOI/AAAAAAAAOoo/25VXr91qqME7kzJA8oZd3DftHEU7oTniQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_2838.JPG)

BATMAN AND ROBIN (VILLAINS):
Huh? Oh that's right. There WAS a third villain besides Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze. But who he was (totally downplayed....guess they couldn't get a big enough star to play him?), I do not recall.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Se25hmgrA0/W3PZryi-tFI/AAAAAAAAOog/6qrzu30TyIY_pTVnPOkttB1ZfVnzRg3hQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_2835.JPG)

BATMAN AND ROBIN (HEROES):
This was the one with George Clooney as Batman, right? Alicia Silverstone was off unemployment for a while doing her Batgirl gig (Has she had a job since then?). Is Chris O'Donnell still around?

CARNIVOROUS / RAW MEAT (combo):
Ooooo. I do remember when this combo came to town. it only played at one drive in...and o' I soooo wanted to see it. The ad copy screamed "Secretly filmed--absolutely authentic scenes of cannibalism as practiced today! Filmed by hidden cameras." Zowie! How hideously horrifying it all sounded. Years later when I finally tracked this down, I discovered that it was actually a re-titling of JUNGLE HOLOCAUST from 1977. But I love this poster. Just wish it was more colorful.

SLAVE OF THE CANNIBAL GOD:
This is a stunning poster. I really appreciate the artwork. As a cannibal movie---it's okay. Ursula Andress and Stacy Keach must have really been hard up for cash to agree to star in this grindhouse epic. But the poster is just gorgeous!

That is all for this time. NOT the best selection---but at least I got those Batman posters out of the way. Ha! Thanks for visiting.

Monster, I'm speechless, and then I started talking oddly when my heart stopped beating. I'm overwhelmed by your machine gun posts and I can't get up..... Er, catch up...
Okie

Zowie! Welcome back. You are just in time for another edition of the Classic Collection here at the Shock-O-Rama poster Show. Yes, it's more of the posters I've had since BEFORE I started sharing online. I do have to apologize for the awful photos. I am no photographer---which is why I USUALLY use photos from the auctions I win. Oh well.
Before we get to the posters, though...let's say hello to my recent visitors:
OAKIE: The reason for the rapid posts of late is because, instead of waiting for 10 new purchases to post, I've decided to post my collection from BEFORE I started sharing it online. I had literally hundreds (thousands, really) before i ever started sharing on the internet. There are LOTS left to share---TONS!
STEVE/50s: You LIVE!!! You seemed to have fallen off of the Earth for a while. Great to see you here again. I'm glad you liked the poster. Ursula Andress... She was in her early 40s when she made that film.
THIERRY/EATBRIE: Zowie! What an unexpected surprise to see you here. Glad there was a few things in my postings that you found interesting.
Now let's see what I have in store for you today:
THE CORPSE GRINDERS:
I do believe that this (or maybe either release of ASTRO ZOMBIES) is the best poster for a Ted V. Mikels movie. Golly, if this poster didn't make you want to rush out and see this schlock fest, nothing would. You've got to love the terrified girl being pushed, legs first, into a horrifying-looking machine with the promised of "Bone-Crushing Terror! Sine-Tingling Chills" and "turns bones and flesh into screaming, savage blood death!" So---it may be an exaggeration. The people put into the very cardboard-looking machine are already dead (So no terrified, screaming victims as depicted) and, instead of turning them into screaming, savage blood death, they are turned into... cat food. Really. Me-OWWW! But what a poster!

ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE ('80's re-release):
Of the early James Bond flicks, this is probably my favorite---even though it features (in my opinion) the weakest actor portraying Bond. Diana Rigg was absolutely enchanting in this. Blofeld's hideout in the Alps, with the aerial tram to and from, was interesting and made for great snow action---like the bobsled run.

VIVA JAMES BOND (Film Festival poster):
This is an unused (?) poster for a James Bond film festival that was held at some point. The empty square beneath "Bond" was where the title of whatever film(s) was/were playing would be filled in with a snipe or hand written in. I prefer my copy, which leaves the box unmarred. Very cool.

BLOOD AND LACE:
I've never seen this flick, but what a jaw-droppingly horrifying/gruesome poster for a film rated "GP" (the precursor to the "PG" rating). "Shock after shock after shock" as the giant, bloody hammer comes crashing down on the screaming girl's head. EEEK! I used to have this hanging in my bedroom once upon a time. Now it sits in my closet...

VALLEY OF THE DOLLS:
This is a guilty pleasure of mine. It's the unintentional camp classic VALLEY OF THE DOLLS. Sure, it's boring as hell, but I LOVE this movie. The poster could have been better (MUCH better), but it is what it is, and I am thrilled to have one. "Sure, I take dolls. Gotta get some sleep, don't I?, so I can get up in the morning and 'Sparkle, Neely. Sparkle!'" HA!

THE HINDENBURG:
During the 70's disaster era, I found it very difficult to get my mom to take me to see any of the disaster movies. For "THE TOWERING INFERNO," my babysitter took me and my little brother (one walked, two of us had bikes and we traded off) to see it---miles and MILES from the house. "EARTHQUAKE" I didn't get to see initially...but eventually caught it as a co-feature with "THE GREAT WALDO PEPPER". "The Poseidon Adventure" and most of the "Airport" movies I had to catch on TV. NOT fair when you are a movie-obsessed (specifically disaster movies) pre-teen. The one movie i did get my mother to take us to was THE HINDENBURG. SNORE! It was interesting to look at---getting a glimpse of what dirigible travel must have been like---but utterly boring, with the only excitement at the very end of the movie (Duh!). But the poster? WOW! It totally captures the tragedy.

STRAIT-JACKET:
William Castle was one of my movie heroes from the 50's and early 60's. He was the king of the gimmicks---and, as I've said numerous times, I am a sucker for a gimmick. STRAIT-JACKET was pretty much one of the few gimmick-free horror flicks he produced in this era---although the poster does shout that the film "vividly depicts ax murders" and I heard small cardboard axes were given to theater goers---but have never seen any to back that up. Joan Crawford stars and the results are a camp classic of 50s horror. This copy is framed, but is missing a bit o' paper at the crossfold on Joan's cheek. Somewhere I have another/better copy to replace this one with eventually.

FLESH GORDON:
Back in the day when I walked into a long-gone comic book store back in the 1970s and first saw movie posters for sale, I was hooked instantly. Of the posters on display (including LOGAN'S RUN and CARRIE---both purchased there and the original STAR WARS, which I bypassed....and could kick myself for now as it was only $25 back then), the poster for FLESH GORDON was also on display. I never got it back then (How does an 11-year-old explain to his mother that he wants the poster for an x-rated sci-fi porno parody?), but remember being so entranced by the cool artwork. YEARS later I scored this copy on eBay. I am still surprised at how cheap you can find this poster at times. In my opinion, it is just stunning and worth so much more than it seems to be. (And this photo does NOT do it justice).

DAWN OF THE DEAD:
I got this on eBay back in 2005 or so, not long after moving into my house and I started hanging movie posters on my walls for the first time since I had been in high school back in the 1980s. This was a "must have" poster that I remember battling it out for the night it closed. (I've since picked up another copy that went way too cheap.) I've told this story before, but when I was a kid, I loved the movies. Getting to see horror movies though was a rare occurrence. By the time I was 12 or 13, I would convince my grandmother to take me to see these horror flicks. That's how i got to see the original "Halloween" in theaters, among other things. My poor grandma---the horrors I put her through. Anyway, when I was in 8th grade in 1979 (all of 14 years old), DAWN OF THE DEAD came out. It was unrated, but the blurb on the poster reads that NO ONE UNDER 17 WILL BE ADMITTED. Fortunately, the theater showing it interpreted that to mean it was the same as an R rating (instead of what would be an NC 17 today). I got my grandmother to take me to see it (it was playing with another film called "THE DARK"). DAWN OF THE DEAD is a grisly, gross mess-terpiece. My grandmother couldn't take it and went out to sit in the lobby for the rest of the movie. But WOW! What a great experience seeing this as a kid. It is a classic after all. My grandmother was awesome taking me to this and so many others flicks like it.

SUSPIRIA:
I got this poster the same night I got my first copy of DAWN OF THE DEAD on eBay. As I recall, there were several posters being sold off from an obvious horor film collector. I do not recall what others were up for grabs, but I was eyeing several...and was preparing to pounce at the auction's end. There was another bidder after these. This was years ago, back in the day when you could look up and see who you were bidding against and contact them. The other bidder who was hot for the same titles I was struck up a deal. He was going to bid on two of the posters we both wanted without my bidding against him and I could bid on DAWN OF THE DEAD and SUSPIRIA without interference from him. It worked out for both of us (I wish I remembered what it was he was going for---and i wish I had stayed in contact with the guy), but I was THRILLED to have landed my DAWN poster...and especially this SUSPIRIA, which is a poster you almost NEVER see. And what a great film it is, too.

And that's all for this installment. Stay tuned. There are HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of "classic collection" posters left to go-go.

Welcome back to another Classic Collection posting, featuring posters I had before I started posting them online. Here are ten more for your perusal. Nothing too fabulous necessarily (and my photography is TERRIBLE), but stuff I have.
VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (Fake? Benton Window Card):
I don't usually buy/like window cards. I got this (and I think I have another for KING KONG purchased at/around the same time) early on from eBay just for the title (One of my all-time favorite bad movies). It was only after getting it that I found out that there were FAKES floating around. It had never occurred to me that anyone would want to bother making fake movie posters (or--gasp!--want to bother running off fake window cards), but based on the amount the seller had and the fabulous condition, I am sure it is a fake--despite his denials at the time. Whatever. This got framed---and I really have nothing to replace it with (except, perhaps, that fake KONG), so it stayed in the frame...

EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC:
Yes, I bothered to frame this notoriously awful sequel poster (but this was before BOTH Part 4s stole the crown). I actually (gasp!) LIKED it---because it was awful. Actually Part 2 was the first one I ever got to see. It was on HBO one summer when I was visiting my father. I actually (much later in life) read the "making of" book (they had envisioned such a grand, amazing classic---and look how it failed) and remember the whole rush to tack on a new ending when the film hit an iceberg at the box office and sank faster than the Titanic in a valiant effort to try to save the film. Ha!

MACABRE:
I LOVE the gimmick films of William Castle from the 1950s and 60s. Even though the films were usually fairly pedestrian in their quaint, low budget way, the gimmicks added a (cheap but effective) extra added dimension to the films. This one, MACABRE, is rather snore-inducing. However, it was the first of Castle's gimmick horrors. This one featured "Death by Fright" insurance policies for every theater-going patron. Zowie! No one collected, though...too bad there wasn't also insurance for "Death By Boredom" as well. Ha! Great art, though.

MR. SARDONICUS:
Here is another great William Castle gimmick film, MR. SARDONICUS. This time, the gimmick is explained using about half of the poster to do so. Essentially, theater goers were given glow-in-the-dark "Punishment Poll" cards. The cards could be held either showing a "Thumbs Up" or a Thumbs Down" depending on what the audience member thought the fate of the title character should be. During a moment towards the end, the action in the movie stops as Mr. Castle appears and asks for audiences to vote. He then tallies the votes up. Thumbs up or thumbs down--mercy or no mercy?...and the action resumes. It sounds like there should be two possible endings....but hello? You know what everyone will vote---thumbs down. So only one ending was ever filmed. Such a scam....GREAT gimmick, though.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KOzvTheRio0/W3tCvQ7oCTI/AAAAAAAAOxc/StvOhgdBrHA0Bj7nF4EljwDRpEp18T0XACLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2876.JPG)

HOMICIDAL:
William Castle strikes again! William Castle's actual films often leave a LOT to be desired. HOMICIDAL is no different. It's rather slow and pedestrian and not much happens. Ho hum. Before the film ends though, there is a FRIGHT BREAK wherein audience members had a chance to get their tickets refunded. I can see many wanting to take this offer up---as the film is a yawner. However, Castle wanted to ensure that no one went for a refund. During the fright break, those that were too bored, er...TOO SCARED had to walk to the very visible, labeled in large letters "Coward's Corner". To get to the Coward's Corner, the person had to walk on a specific path that had a big yellow line down the middle of it. There, they had to sit--the cowards--through the end of the movie, fully on display for the rest of the crown to see and laugh at ("Look at the 'fraidy cat") before getting their refund. NOT many wanted to endure that humiliation, so very few refunds were given.

The 7 DWARFS TO THE RESCUE:
I had never heard of this movie when I came across it on eBay YEARS ago. It looks like some live-action foreign flick sequel to SNOW WHITE that was imported here for the kiddie matinee crowd. O' the horror. I'm sure it is just awful and all of the children who were forced into seeing it have blocked it from their memories... EEEK! I dig my Kiddie Matinee posters---and Childhood Productions (which this poster is from) had the best posters. I'd love to see it. It must be a complete disaster. Should be good for a few laughs. And is one of the dwarfs in drag? Ha! Who knew?

RETURN TO OZ:
I'm always interested in a new OZ movie. I remember there being a tremendous amount of publicity over this film's release...and the backlash it received from those saying the flick was too scary for children (I'm thinking the electroshock machine scenes?) and the spectacular flop it became. I liked it well enough. Sure--it wasn't the classic WIZARD OF OZ, but pulling off another one of those will never happen. I thought this was a good attempt. It has since kind of become a cult hit, but Disney has still kind of distanced itself from it. Too bad.

SAVAGE WEEKEND:
I think I have picked up another copy (or two?) of this along the way. The movie is lame (I finally saw it not long back), but I've always dug the poster. I used to have it hanging in my guest room, to make my guests feel welcome---NOT! Ha! Now it's in the back of the closet...

DR. TARR'S TORTURE DUNGEON:
Inspired by a story by Edgar Allan Poe, but (to me) a dull and tedious production that is not nearly as colorful and interesting as the poster makes it out to be (and I do apologize I'm not a better photographer---this poster looks so much better in real life).
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j1Q2VGEEBx4/W3tC0NkFFWI/AAAAAAAAOxw/O1A11suWBRUEo8XdUHoCp15RP15E_s37gCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2882.JPG)

DAY OF THE DEAD:
The last of the original Dead trilogy started with NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (director/writer George Romero would go on to add LAND, DIARY and SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD to the series) was not nearly as good as its predecessors, but still interesting and intriguing in its own right. This poster does not come up that often---so I am glad I got it back in the day when I did.

CHEERS!

I should have bought those 80s Bond re-releases. 10-12 years ago, a co worker at Amblin' offered them all to me for $50 (that's right, $50 for all of them) along with a bunch of Amblin' releases (a few Back to the Future, Goonies, etc for dirt cheap) and I said no because I didn't collect re-releases. Idiot!!! I took all the Amblin' stuff though ;) BttF was $10, rolled, mint. I will always remember, we were sitting on the Forrest Gump bench outside the studio. Ha, memories!!!
Good stuff, GoGo.

Greetings! It's another visit to the Classic Collection, posters I had BEFORE I started posting online. Let's take a look at the current batch and see what I've got this time:
Thierry: Too bad you didn't get those Bond posters. That was a good deal, as even those reprints are worth $$$ these days. The BACK TO THE FUTURE was a steal. BRAVO! Thanks for sharing.
And now, today's offering...
GHOST DIVER:
I had never heard of this (and still haven't tracked the movie down) until running across the poster. Something rare (?) from the 50s? Sold! This is the poster that called my attention to an actress I had alsop never heard of (and who I have since nicknamed "Tatter"), Audrey "Tatter" Totter. Tatter Totter has been in quite a few things, it seems, including the 3D noir "MAN IN THE DARK"! Anyone ever see this flick?

WICKED, WICKED:
Gimmick alert! This film boasted a new movie-going gimmick (that has never been duplicated) called DUO-VISION, which was an experiment in using a split screen. I saw this on a bootleg DVD and, well... Eh. It's a thriller, but not very thrilling, where you have two points of view (almost) continuously--one the killer, one the victim. Oh well. i'm a sucker for a gimmick, so of course the poster was purchased.

GHOST IN THE INVISIBLE BIKINI:
The last of the Frankie & Annette Beach Party movies---and Frankie and Annette are no where to be seen! However, the rest of the Beach Party gang is on hand, along with newcomer Nancy Sinatra (!). Horror "has beens" (as they were seen back then...such a shame) Boris Karloff and Basil Rathbone add some supernatural shenanigans to the mix, along with Susan Hart, who dons the "invisible bikini" (a blue screen bikini, so she appears not to have boobs or a crotch at all! EEK!). Harmless fun. Geronimo!

THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII / SHE (re-release combo):
I love this poster and was so delighted to win it for very little money and even less competition. Sure, it's only a re-release poster for two flicks from 1935...but the poster for this is from 1948. That was 70 years ago. I'm shocked no one else tried to snag it up. As a bonus, with any luck, I will be visiting the ruins of Pompeii next spring. Whoo hoo!

THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT:
This Edgar Rice Burroughs dino flick made a good enough amount o' cash to inspire the production of AT THE EARTH'S CORE and the sequel to this one, THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT. All starred Doug McClure. PEOPLE didn't do so well, so there were no more made (leaving the TIME trilogy incomplete without OUT OF TIME'S ABYSS unfilmed). Oh well. The JURASSIC PARK series is way better anyway.

THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN:
Roger Moore's second outing as 007 was serviceable, if not small scale (for a Bond film, especially for what they have become). Herve Villachaize and Christopher "Dracula" Lee are also on hand. Maude Adams shows up and gets killed off...but would be back as OCTOPUSSY a few years later. This was the first James Bond I saw KNOWING I was watching a James Bond flick. Previously I had seen GOLDFINGER at a drive in with my parents, but I had been so young I didn't really know what was going on (I thought they were stealing the gold from the White House...who knew what Fort Knox was?)

PANORAMA BLUE:
No, I've never seen this adult flick. The attraction was, of course, the gimmick. Clearly a take off of CINERAMA---this was "Filmed in 70 MM Super Widescreen Panoramascope with 4 track stereo sound" Zowie!
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Tq13vCHpHO0/W3unGRQ9jtI/AAAAAAAAO1g/OTO8QpUsF-E_vdH4pBe6sqDT25c0V4BKwCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_2899.JPG)

ROLLERCOASTER (Sensurround style):
Yes, SENSURROUND was the attraction to this poster. I DID see this flick in SENSURROUND (with MIDWAY, also in SENSURROUND). ROLLERCOASTER is actually a nifty little thriller. It's kind of funny to see Magic Mountain in 1976 with the opening of the newest, most amazing coaster in the world that actually makes an upside down loop, The Revolution---which has since been dwarfed and minimalized by other coasters in the same park. The destruction of the coaster at the old Ocean View Park at the beginning is a shocker.

GOLDFINGER (80's re-release):
This is the very first James Bond movie I ever saw...in fact, I believe this is the first movie I ever saw period. I was a toddler when I saw this with my parents at the Winchester Drive In in San Jose, California. Even though I didn't know what was going on and didn't even know it was a James Bond film at that age---and it took me YEARS to figure out what movie this had been--I have clearly been a Bond fan for life.

THE ADVENTURES OF BULLWHIP GRIFFIN:
Two careers ago, before I was a nurse or wrote for the newspaper, I was a teacher. I mostly taught fourth grade--which was a GREAT grade. In social studies, we did California history including the Gold Rush. During the the gold rush lessons, we would read a book called "By The Great Horn Spoon" or something like that. The kids liked the book a lot. I eventually became aware that Disney had made a movie version of the book, and this, THE ADVENTURES OF BULLWHIP GRIFFIN, was it. While it follows the basic storyline of the book, the movie strays far and wide from the source material. I got the poster to hang in the classroom the next time I taught the gold rush lesson---but never taught 4th grade again.

Greetings, and welcome to another Classic Collection posting of posters I had BEFORE I started posting online. Today we have the last (??) of my framed posters and several loose posters that have had their frames swapped out recently for something else to be on my walls.
Okay--enough dilly-dallying. Let's take a look:
LOGAN'S RUN:
This is the poster that started it off for me. (Well, NOT this particular copy...but you know what I mean). It's been a favorite ever since. I had it hanging on my walls (or ceiling) all through high school and after. It was up in my hallway when I started hanging posters on the walls as an adult. Today---uh, I don't have it up, opting to go with vintage horror all over instead. But it hangs in my heart. (Ahhh...)

VALLEY OF THE DOLLS/BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (combo re-release):
Wow---what a cool combo...but also what an odd combo. I love both of these cult films for different reasons. Pairing them together may seem like a natural because of their titles, but the films are polar opposites content-wise. The audience for BEYOND would be bored to tears by VALLEY and the audience for VALLEY would be shocked by BEYOND. Ha! Oh well. I dig 'em both and am thrilled to have this poster-a-go-go!

LEATHERFACE: THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE III:
Not the best sequel---and severely edited upon release, so I read---but what you gonna do? It's still a TCM movie. I got this signed (hard to see---and I should have gotten a close-up of the signature to add to this) right above the word "Leatherface" by Leatherface himself (at least for this flick), R.A. Mihailoff. One Halloween season, he and George Wilbur (Michael Myers from HALLOWEEN 4 & 6) were appearing at these Halloween stores. I had them both sign posters. Mihailoff's signature I liked on the poster. Wilbur's on a "Halloween 4" one sheet, I did NOT like. I thought it ruined the poster---so I sold it off and got another, unsigned copy. This film also stars unsung horror star William Butler. Butler has come up against Leatherface, Jason ("Friday the 13th Part 6"), zombies ("The Night of the Living Dead" remake from 1990), Freddy Krueger (on the "Freddy's Nightmares" TV series). He just needs an encounter with Michael Myers to round out his resume. On the B-movie scale, he was in "Ghoulies 2" and wrote "Return of the Living Dead 4 & 5 and the "Gingerdead Man" series.

THE EXORCIST:
This poster needs no introduction... I will say that, with the exception of seeing parts of this out of the back window of our blue Ford Pinto at a drive in, I did not see THE EXORCIST until I was about 15 or so at a double feature with THE SHINING. Classic horror--Deserving of its reputation. As an aside, in regards to the novel's cover photo (see below), for years and years and YEARS I could not make out what it was. In my eyes, all I could make out was some sort of demonic figure--like a little warped Kewpie doll, with arms and a torso. It was not until 10 or 15 years ago, after reading an interview with William Peter Blatty who stated that they used a photo of his daughter that somehow did not come out right for the cover was I able to actually (finally) see the face/girl in the picture. Now it is almost impossible for me to see the eerie figure I once saw.

ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES:
For years, I hated this movie. While BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES is complete crap, this one bothered me endlessly. The idea of the Apes being in early 70s Los Angeles seemed asinine to me---not I've grown to appreciate it and how the baby brings the story full circle. The ending, though, was sad. The films tramped on for two more flicks. CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES was okay---but really restrained feeling and "small". I wish there had been more story about what happened between CONQUEST and BATTLE. Oh well.

CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES:
This was one of my earliest poster and the very first poster of the PLANET OF THE APES series I ever had---not because it was my favorite (it wasn't), but because it was the one I came across first.
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ptMkK3UC-sg/W38IyGP-GTI/AAAAAAAAO4A/ejM2m8Ggs5gRX0ZCAz6usMhcRgHHwrDuQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_2906.JPG)

GO APE! ("Planet of the Apes" series marathon):
This is surprisingly hard to get---at least it was for me. The similar poster promoting the TV series was everywhere. I wish I had gotten it---because now it is hard to get. UGH! Cool and clever poster. I remember when this happened. I wanted to go so badly....but didn't get to. I never saw any of the original APES films in the theaters. Oh well.

BARRACUDA:
Another forgettable JAWS knockoff. I did see this in the theaters---and scrambled to buy it on DVD when it came out (if anything, time had NOT been kind). Love my JAWS knockoffs. Ha! The star Wayne Crawford is probably best remembered for JAKE SPEED (anyone?), which was fairly forgettable in its own way. Crawford co-directed this with Harry Kerwin, whose brother, William Kerwin plays the sheriff. William Kerwin was the star of many of HG Lewis' horror flicks, like BLOOD FEAST and 2000 MANIACS. He was even married to BLOOD FEAST's leading lady CONNIE MASON ("You've read about her in Playboy") until his death. Blah blah blah...I've found the trailer link. It is https://youtu.be/HKcJtI-bu_Y (https://youtu.be/HKcJtI-bu_Y). You can see it is a mess of a movie.

HERCULES / HERCULES UNCHAINED (combo re-release):
This was my first HERCULES / peplum/sword and sandal poster---and what a great poster---a double feature for HERCULES and HERCULES UNCHAINED starring STEVE REEVES ---the films that started the whole toga party in the first place.

WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY:
I'm sorry, but the original; WILLY WONKA is way better than the Tim Burton remake thang. I am super glad to have this poster (I believe I have another as well). This film, for its time, was brilliant. I can not believe it was shunned by author Roald Dahl and that it wasn't a bigger hit. I saw it in its original release and caught it a couple of times at matinees before it went to TV. It's a great movie. It's scrumdidilyumptious!

Welcome and come forward. Don't be shy. It's time for the next edition of the SHOCK-O-RAMA POSTER SHOW.
THIERRY: I'm glad there were a few posters in my recent postings that you liked. it is no secret I like crap (such as you'll soon see below), but occasionally I buy stuff that others may enjoy as well. Thank you for visiting and the note.
Okay--here are the new posters:
SEXUAL EXPLOITS OF NAUGHTY PENNY / SEX WORLD (British Quad combo):
Why did I buy this? Sure, I had it in my eBay watch list because it was a double-feature poster I didn't have---but I wanted it primarily for SEX WORLD, the fake adult sequel to WESTWORLD and FUTURE WORLD. The other day at work, I tuned in to my emails on my phone and got an announcement that this was closing soon. I clicked on it, saw the current price, bid above it and forgot all about it---until I got home and found out I had won it. I had not really been paying attention when I bid on it--and found out I bid way too much, especially considering (DUH!) I already have the one sheet for SEX WORLD. UGH!. Oh well...

SOLO - A STAR WARS STORY (International? Indian?):
I am no STAR WARS fan, but usually pick up STAR WARS stuff if it is cheap enough for possible resale down the road. I hadn't seen this SOLO poster before. It is double-sided, measures 28x40. and from India (but the text is all in English). This may just be a general international poster that ended up in india? I don't know. I know the film was is considered a flop, despite it making more that $200 million here and nearly $400 million worldwide....but I'm hoping this will increase in value.

SANTO VS THE MARTIAN INVASION (Re-Release?):
I'm not quite sure what this is. The original listing said this was a "re-release". Did they re-release Mexican Santo movies...in Peru? That's where this is coming from, Peru. I asked the seller some questions before purchasing it. I wanted to make sure something wasn't being lost in translation. He said: "I am in Peru, posters were sent from Mexico to Peru for theatrical exhibition after its Premier. It is not from the original release, it is a re-released poster printed in Mexico for theaters in Peru and the paper is old, I do not think that it is a reproduction. But the original release poster has a better resolution. There is no date or seal on the back of the poster. I think that this poster is a re-release because the film was exhibited on 1974 in Peru." Original release or re-release, I was thrilled with it...and then I realized why it seemed so familiar to me. Ha! It's is a total ripoff of the poster for ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS. Too funny.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (10th Anniversary re-release):
This is yet another story of bidding on things---forgetting about it--and discovering you actually won it later. Last week on Heritage, this was up with a couple of other things. I bid before going to work, knowing I'd be out bid....and forgot all about them. Until a week later when I had bid on an item or two on HA again during work. After work I checked to see if I won anything that day---NOPE! But I did discover this week old invoice for this. Oops! I didn't really need this--but I also didn't have one either.

HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS:
I know nothing about this. I think it is based on a popular kid's book, right? Looks kind of dorky, I think...but so did GOONIES back in the day...and look at the price for that poster now. I probably wasted my money--but thought why not?

BE KIND REWIND:
This movie was dated when it came out. VHS tapes were pretty much over when this hit theaters. So why buy it? In my home town, they have an annual "Swede Fest". The idea of "Sweding" a movie comes from this film. In the film, they needed a "Ghostbusters" tape---and didn't have one, so they remade it and rented it as the original. Then they remade other hits---all on a shoestring budget. That was "sweding".I thought I'd get the poster in honor of our festival. (More about the festival HERE).

INDEPENDENCE DAY (Style B Advance):
A long while back I decided to buy the INDEPENDENCE DAY posters...got one and that was it. Here is a second one (or do I have this one already?). $3. CHEAP!

SANTA CLAUS:
I already have a copy of this K. Gordon Murray kiddie matinee poster for the Mexican import movie. It was part of some obscure auction I came across online.(Yes---the photo below is really how they presented it in the auction.) I bid a few bucks ($8), for got about it and last night I found out I had "won" it. Whoopie...

TERROR IS A MAN:
I've gotten copies of this poster in the past. I don't know why I bothered again (poster addict). This is an obscure horror movie from 1959 that riffs heavily (and blatantly) from "THE ISLAND OF DR MOREAU". The attraction, as far as the poster goes, is the gimmick that is mentioned---the bell system for the squeamish and faint-hearted. The gimmick is only used once in the film---during a brief scene showing a real open-heart surgery (stock footage lifted from somewhere else).

SON OF SINBAD (3 sheet):
UGH--this was a MISTAKE to buy. What was I thinking? I am NO FAN of three sheets. (UGH! I hate the size---far too big, yet I have several.) Also, this was list as being in 9.4 condition. I didn't look too closely---but now that it is mine and too late, closer inspection reveals that there is no way this is a 9.4. Oh well. I do like Sinbad---and have posters from many of his incarnations (including those foreign offerings that were not Sinbad movies---but became so due to dubbing and retitling, such as Russian THE MAGIC VOYAGE OF SINBAD and Japanese THE LOST WORLD OF SINBAD). This 1955 Howard Hughes produced actioner features Dale Robertson in the title role along with Vincent Price and Lili St Cyr! It was presented in SUPERSCOPE (whatever that was---some wide screen process, no doubt).

Hey Monster!
"Hold on to your turbans!" Lili St. Cyr and Vincent Price together in one film: the stripteaser meets the tingler? What was this rated, Mr. Hughes?!
In that bottom middle panel, is Santa Claus serving up the Holy Chimichanga of Oaxaca?
British-quad-combo-double-feature: I think we know the kinky-rhymes-with-slinky reasons you bought this poster, Monster! Look at those quads! Even the lady way in the background says, "here's my booty!" Naughty little Monster...
Does Chewie's mane look better conditioned than usual? Tammy "Wookie" Wynette meets Colt 44 Lando!
Wait, Is Tammy W. too obscure a bee hive hairdoo reference?!
Santo and a ray gun! Lucha libre in the 25th Century! Duck dodge this you hairy Martian BEM.
With all that being said, can we all please just pause and appreciate all things Karen Allen? Yes, now even just a little bit of Karen makes everything better.
Thank you, Monster
Okie

Welcome to another edition of the Classic Collection, those posters I had BEFORE I started posting online.
But first, Oakie! Golly, by your wigged out ramblings, i am guessing you actually liked some of those posters. Fabulous! Nothing is as good as your many beautiful posters---but they make me happy (if only for the moment). Thank you , as always , for visiting.

JAWS 3-D:
I have JAWS and a couple of various styles of JAWS 2, so of course i would have a JAWS 3-D! And yes, i DID see this back in the day in 3D. What a piece of crap. I loved it. (But it's still crap). The poster is cool though.

JAWS THE REVENGE:
Here is the poster that put the final nail in the JAWS franchise coffin. If you thought JAWS 3-D was bad, here's JAWS THE REVENGE. This time it's personal ...and really, really bad. I saw this at the theater---TWICE. Ha!

BARRACUDA and THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS (British quad combo):
I got this for BARRACUDA, of course. THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS is NOT related to the similarly named, but alternately spelled flick by Quentin Tarantino. I had this hanging on the wall above the bathtub in my guest bathroom before I had a shower put in. Ha!

MUSCLE BEACH PARTY:
The Frankie and Annette Beach Party flicks have always been a guilty pleasure. They're inane and and fairly vacuous, but harmless and campy, too. Bond bad girl LUCIANA ("THUNDERBALL") PULUZZI stars as a rich contessa looking for a muscle man....namely Peter (TV's "Mission Impossible") Lupus (who is billed in the film--not the poster--as "Rock Stevens") who plays body building champion Flex Martian. Don Rickles (as "Jack Fanny"---think about it), Morey Amsterdam and Buddy Hackett all found work in this flick. Peter Lorre pops up at the end in a cameo, Stevie Wonder (billed as "Little Stevie Wonder") also appears. Dick Dale and the Del Tones are also in it, often seen hanging out with the Beach Party gang--and even surfing along with Frankie and company (and looking far older than any "teenager" ever should). But my favorite aspect of the movie is Candy Johnson. Candy was in the original BEACH PARTY, but here she has a name and lines. She also has her own brand of superpowers! Candy is this wild go-go dancer who always wears a lot of fringe. She has the amazing ability to launch those swinging hips at a guy (or film credits) and watch them go tumbling off as they are literally bowled over by her amazing go-go whammy! Candy went on to appear in most of the other films in the series. She was my fave. She was just so interesting (and exhausting) to watch. Sadly, she died of brain cancer in 2012. Below I'll post a video of the end credits of Muscle Beach Party featuring Candy knocking out the credits while Little Stevie Wonder sings. https://youtu.be/6tpOOLX2-dY (https://youtu.be/6tpOOLX2-dY) As a bonus, I'll include a second video (edited by someone else) showing Candy using her go-go powered wonder hips! https://youtu.be/5sqMOXOEI3U (https://youtu.be/5sqMOXOEI3U) Zowie!

BIKINI BEACH:
The third in the series... This one also features go-go dancing Candy Johnson (on the poster!). This flick featured Frankie Avalon in a dual role (as surfer Frankie and as British singing sensation, the Potato Bug!) and the fad the gang is into is drag racing. Don Rickles returns, but this time is called Big Drag. Little Stevie Wonder comes back and there is an appearance by bald surf band The Pyramids. Keenan Wynn is also in it and Boris Karloff pops up for a cameo at near the end. One of the daughters from "Pettycoat Junction", Meredith MacRae, is also in this, but is uncredited on the poster.

BEACH BLANKET BINGO:
The 4th and most well-known (!?!) of the Beach Party series, this one has the gang interested in ski diving. Don Rickles (for the final time) appears as Big Drop. Linda Evans is Sugar Cane, a singer. Her future co-star Michael "Mike" Nader is one of the Beach Party gang---and was in all of the movies, getting more and more screen time with each film. Paul Lynde plays Evans' agent. Earl Wilson is in this as is Buster Keaton. "Lost In Space" star Marta Kristen plays a mermaid!

HOW TO STUFF A WILD BIKINI:
The 5th and final Frankie & Annette Beach movie. Frankie's part was greatly reduced (per his request) and he doesn't even get his name on the poster. Annette is visibly pregnant in this flick--although she still plays chaste and virginal. Buster Keaton is back, along with Dwayne Hickman and Mickey Rooney. The title had to be changed to "HOW TO FILL A WILD BIKINI" for Australian audiences and "Stuff" had a vulgar sexual connotation there. (I wonder what they did about the title song? Hmm.) The Frankie & Annette-less Beach Party returned for GHOST IN THE INVISIBLE BIKINI.

PAJAMA PARTY:
A Beach Party movie---sort of. There were two off shoots of the official Beach Party series. This one featured both Frankie & Annette and the entire Beach Party gang (and the biker bad guys)--But Annette is playing someone besides her usual "Dee Dee"/"Dolores" character and Frankie is, well...He is a Martian commander seen only in an extended cameo. This was the last of the series to feature go-go dancing Candy Johnson. But it also features the Bride of Frankenstein herself, Elsa Lanchester along with Buster Keaton and Dorothy Lamour. Former Disney star Tommy Kirk is the male lead. He is a martian (in a total ripoff of "My Favorite Martian").
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B4siE9eSou4/W4VGMCIydUI/AAAAAAAAO6Y/OFeBWp-2bZQT-GGhSju2urs3dlax2LdHQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_2990.JPG)

SKI PARTY:
The other Beach Party offshoot again features the regular Beach Party gang and the bad guy bikers. Frankie and Annette are in this---but again playing different characters. Frankie is a single college student. Annette (in the briefest of cameos) is a college professor (!!!). Leslie Gore and James Brown and the Famous Flames are featured along with Yvonne "Batgirl" Craig and Dwayne "Dobbie Gillis" Hickman.

THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE:
Possibly one of the greatest disaster films ever made (and one that inspired a sequel, TV movie remake and a theatrical remake---all of which bombed).I love the poster art on this. I never caught this in a theater--but was glued to the television when it made its broadcast debut. Wow!

Hi Monster, Thanks for the kind words! Seriously, your posts are a highlight to me on APF! You always have great commentary to go with each poster and I really enjoy seeing your wild and funky collection. Makes me smile, and I like trying to return the good mojo you bring! Okie

Hi there. Welcome to another posting of my "classic collection"---those posters I had BEFORE I started posting online. I know I've been away a while. I was gone on a two week trip and I've just been busy with work and life in general. But I am B-A-C-K with 10 more things from my pre-online past.
But first, Okie -- may I thank you in return for your kind words. I'm glad you like my collection. It is what it is and doesn't pretend to be anything different. I welcome your visits. Thanks for stopping by this last time.
Okay--poster time.
DR. NO (80s re-release):
Yes, this is an 80s re-release. (I have a couple in this posting). I am fine with this being a re-release as it uses the same art as the original release poster and the original is CRAZY expensive. These re-release posters are getting crazy expensive, too. I'm glad I got mine when I did. Yowza!

YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (80s re-release):
Another 80's re-release showcasing Bond in his gyrocopter (which, I believe was called the "Little Jenny"? Or am I flashing on something else?). I like this poster, i just wish they had also re-issued the poster with Bond in the bath with the Japanese ladies. I like that one a lot, too. (I wasn't so wild about the third poster in the volcano base with bond walking sideways on a ladder.)

THUNDERBALL / YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (re-release combo):
This very well could have been my first poster for a Connery Bond movie (or, as it turns out, a double feature). Zowie! I had no idea these re-release combo posters existed until the early 2000s. This was the first purchased---but I believe I have scored all of them now.

DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER:
My oldest Connery first release Bond poster---DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (did they even bother with an 80s re-release poster of this?). Bond's little space buggy is (used to be?) on display in Las Vegas (where the bulk of the action takes place) in the Planet Hollywood restaurant in the Roman Forum shops at Caesar's Palace. It is also strange to see CIRCUS CIRCUS---then the swanky, gimmicky new casino/hotel--in this when it is at the lower end of the strip now and probably not long from demolition.

THE SPY WHO LOVED ME:
The first movie I ever saw as a kid was GOLDFINGER at the Winchester Drive In in San Jose, California---but I was too young to understand what was happening and it took me YEARS to figure out what the movie had been. The first movie I ever saw that I knew was a James Bond movie was THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN on HBO. But the first Bond flick--where I knew it was a Bond flick--in the theater? THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. This was a great first "real" introduction (although I had really enjoyed GOLDEN GUN and the little bit I had gleaned from GOLDFINGER). Years later I got to interview Richard "JAWS" Kiel in his home. He had a small reproduction of this hanging in his home office/study. I couldn't believe I had an original and he didn't. I almost offered it to him, but restrained myself.

MOONRAKER:
I liked the first half of this film---and then it turned into a campfest...and fell apart (in my eyes). Still, it was a huge hit and I am thrilled to have the poster (I'm thrilled to have all of the Bond posters).

CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG:
Obviously NOT a Bond film, but written by Bond author Ian Fleming and produced by the Bond team. I love this flick---although I do believe it was considered somewhat of a flop when it came out, it has gone on to become a great cult success.

THE LOST WORLD OF SINBAD:
A SINBAD movie in (retitled/dubbed) named only. This is actually a Japanese fantasy flick that AIP acquired and wisely released as a SINBAD flick to cash in on the success of the Ray Harryhausen SINBAD (THE SEVENTH VOYAGE OF SINBAD). Fun art---but have never seen the flick. I've gotten several copies of this poster over the years (why do I do that? Grrr)--but this is the first one I owned.

BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES:
I know most people dismiss this first sequel to THE PLANET OF THE APES---but I dig it. I am also thrilled to have the poster for it.

BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES:
This was the second APES poster I owned (after CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES which I'd scored as a teenager). Notice the apparent discoloration on the lower right side? That was because the eBay seller wasn't very careful when he packed this up---and got some of the sticky glue/tape stuff on those USPS Priority Mail boxes on the poster. (No, the poster was NOT wrapped in plastic or anything else protective. Just shoved in a box, sealed, and sent. I had to painstakingly super slowly peel it away, That discoloration is a thin layer of the box still attached to the back of the poster. GRRR. I have purchased another copy or two since getting this one. But this remains my least favorite film in the series as well as my least favorite poster.

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. Get your tickets now. The tour of my latest purchases is about to depart.
NEO, your ticket is on me. Thanks for the note. It's always nice to have you visit.
Okay, hold on to your seats, here are the posters...
ANDY WARHOL'S HOLLYWOOD (aka ANDY WARHOL'S HEAT):
I had been wanting one of these for AGES. I had won one once before, but somehow the seller ruined the poster when preparing it for shipment. I was THRILLED to get this one---but unfortunately i was on vacation when it was up and had to use my phone for everything...and didn't realize until later that it was only a small 12x19 copy---NOT the full-sized poster size. Oh well. I'll take it. I found it extremely snore-inducing and DULL. I do like the HOLLYWOOD alternative title as used in Germany, though.

BIRTH OF THE LIVING DEAD:
I have not seen this documentary on George Romero's 1968 horror opus, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. But I would love to. I've been after one of these for a while---and now, yippie---I finally have one. I dig the mondo-style art on this as well.

ANTS (Lebanese):
I have been after a regular one sheet for ANTS for years (Do I already have one? Hmm.) this very different Lebanese poster came up and I went for it. ANTS was a TV movie---that played theatrically outside of the US. I have not seen it, but have it on DVD to watch eventually. It is most notable for starring a pre-(?) "THREE'S COMPANY" Suzanne Somers shirtless (with arms obscuring her breasts) and covered with ants. EEEK!

SEPTEMBER STORM:
I already have several copies of this poster---but i am a sucker for a gimmick, especially 3D. 3D, you ask? It doesn't mention 3D anywhere. You are right. Although it IS a 3D flick, the 3D craze was over by the time this debuted in the early 60s. So the producers cleverly renamed 3D and made it sound like a whole new process. Ha! I've never seen the flick, but hope to soon. I can say that I donated money on Kickstarter or GoFundMe---or one of those sites---to help "save" the film and preserve/restore it (in 3D as well as 2D) on BluRay. My "reward" was a copy on BluRay---but alas, I am still trying to acquire a 3D TV. ARGH!

WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?:
WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? is a film my best friend loves---and I can NOT stand. Geez. Two hours of non-stop shouting and yelling and general squabbling between Elizabeth taylor and Richard Burton. UGH! I don't know why he likes it so much. I got the poster for him, but won't give it to him. (He'll never hang it.) Do I need to give this flick another shot?

THE LONG GOODBYE:
I've not seen this film---but love the MAD Magazine art (by Jack Davis) and cartoon captions on the poster. It was a no brainer...I needed it. How is the movie?

J.D.'S REVENGE:
Yahoo! Another long-sought blaxploitation title snagged. I've never seen this flick, but I do like my 70s blaxploitation movies---especially the horror titles. I'm NOT sure about this one, but it seems to cover reincarnation and/or possession. Now if I could just get myself a BLACKENSTEIN poster, I'd be set.

WITHOUT WARNING:
Yes, I already have this poster. I saw it and couldn't resist buying it. It kind of riffs on the original FRIDAY THE 13TH poster---but with an alien silhouette instead that of a knife-welding killer. I saw this flick in the theaters as a teen. It was just okay---but for some reason it has stayed with me.

THE HILLS HAVE EYES:
I have several copies of this classic as well---so why not another? Ha! Wes Craven's THE HILLS HAVE EYES is a great flick I saw on a double feature with the awful DON'T GO IN THE WOODS. HILLS was several years older---but was way better and packed a powerful punch.

HALLOWEEN (2018 International version B):
Zowie! It has been 40 years since the original HALLOWEEN. Boy do I feel old(er). I am excited about the new HALLOWEEN sequel (but am expecting to be disappointed somehow). I jumped on this "International Version B" poster when I saw it, knowing that the prices may rise considerably if the flick is a hit (but will probably become bargain basement cheapos....just my luck). I did see the trailer for this with "THE NUN" and was not very impressed. Oh well. I'll see what happens when it comes out.

CHEERS!
-
Monster, you mentioned having all the Bond reissue posters. The American double feature posters are: DR. NO / FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE 1965, GOLDFINGER / DR. NO 1966, THUNDERBALL / FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE 1968, THUNDERBALL / YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE 1971, SPEND A NIGHT WITH JAMES BOND -DR.NO, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, GOLDFINGER 1972. You could also count VIVA JAMES BOND 1970, which had a 1-sheet but was made for international distribution.
England had way more reissues than anyone else. There must be at least 20 different reissue double feature quads out there in every possible combination. Simon can fill you in on what was made better than I could.

Welcome to another edition of my Classic Collection---those posters I had BEFORE I started posting online.
cabmangray: Thank you ever so much for your note and your visit. I must say I should have been more careful in my description. When I said I had "all of the Bond double features", I was referring to the US one sheets only. There is no way I could track down and afford to buy all of the UK quad double features now. Zowie! That would be quite the undertaking. But thank you for sharing your knowledge and your visit.
Okay--on to the posters...
Today's offering is not all that exciting. There is nothing you urgently need to see. So sit back, relax and let the show begin.

SHARKY'S MACHINE:
An old Burt Reynolds poster (never saw the movie) from the 80s. This is sitting in my "sell pile" (where ever that ended up...in a box somewhere). Now would be the time to do it, in the wake of the actor's passing. Hmm. Where did I put it. I think this poster came in a "lot".

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME:
I've gotten other copies of this same poster that I have posted online. But this is the original copy I had. I had it framed and would hang it in my entry way around my birthday every year.

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3:
I saw this TWICE in the theaters back in the day--gimmick freak that I am. I still have the glasses from it somewhere. While this poster does convey the 3D aspect of the film nicely, the over all poster is kind of lame. But MOST of the early FRIDAY the 13th posters (after the brilliant original poster) were total DUDS. Part 2? Part 4? Part 5? Snore. NO IMAGES---just words. Missed opportunities. Oh well.

THE WONDERFUL LAND OF OZ:
I had never heard of this "sequel" to THE WIZARD OF OZ until I came across this poster for it. Zowie! I've since seen it and it is a low budget MESS for the kiddie matinee crowd of the mid-60s. Directed by Barry Mahon (the man responsible for things like "SANTA AND THE ICE CREAM BUNNY" and "FANNY HILL MEETS DR. EROTICO") and starring his son Channy as Tip (who is later transformed into Ozma, a girl!!!!). This is based upon the second book in the OZ series, "The Marvelous Land of Oz"--and Dorothy is nowhere to be seen. The poster screams "So many thrills you'll be Ozified!" I'm not so sure about that. But it is beyond bad in a somewhat entertaining way. Bad acting. Awful songs. Crappy sets. I had to have the poster! Ha!

JOURNEY BACK TO OZ:
I remember seeing this when it came out in the early 70s. It's a cheap-looking animated flick (by Filmation---the people who did such Saturday morning stuff as THE GROOVIE GOOLIES, the STAR TREK animated series, THE BRADY KIDS, and FAT ALBERT AND THE COSBY KIDS...and also the live-action shows like SHAZAM!, ISIS and JASON OF STAR COMMAND). But there are fascinating things about it. It was apparently started in 1962---but abandoned due to financial reasons. Once Filmation was back on its feet financially (due to its television success), the film was resurrected and finished/released. It plays like a sequel to the 1939 WIZARD OF OZ more or less. Liza Minnelli (quite young in 1962 when she did her voice work) sounds amazingly like her mother Judy Garland in the role of Dorothy. Margaret Hamilton does the voice of--not the Wicked Witch, but---Aunt Em. Other stars include Milton Berle, Danny Thomas, Paul Lynde and Ethel Merman, among others. I've since collected a few of the animation cells used to create this flick (They're not that hard to find). Nothing special--but an interesting side note for the OZ enthusiast.

THE MAGIC VOYAGE OF SINBAD:
Not really a true Sinbad movie. This was a Russian produced fantasy movie based upon a Russian legend that was very similar to Sinbad. Some savvy distributor picked it up, redubbed/retitled is and made it a Sinbad flick. I think I have seen this on DVD or VHS somewhere along the way. It's a blur, but I do remember the creepy bird woman somewhat. I do like my Sinbad flicks, so I needed this poster.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AND HER FRIENDS:
K. Gordon Murray was (im)famous for importing kiddie movies from other countries, redubbing them and releasing them here in the US on unsuspecting kids all over the country. His biggest success was the Mexican import "SANTA CLAUS", which made him a lot of cash and he released it over and over and over. Returning to Mexico, he picked up several other productions to dub and release here. Among them was the LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD series. This one, the 2nd in the series, was kind of hard to track down as it was not as popular as the first LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD or the third (LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AND THE MONSTERS). I've never seen any of them...

Pee Wee Herman (Paul Rubens) and a young Tim Burton were a match made in cinematic heaven. I LOVED this flick when I first saw it. I've been a Pee Wee fan ever since. I even tracked down the dinosaurs in the beginning of the movie (in Cabazon, California--now park of some religious park that claims dinosaurs were part of creation and man and dinos co-existed). This poster used to hang in my guest room.

DISASTER:
I've gotten other copies of this over the years---but have never seen the flick. I'm a sucker for disaster flicks. I had never heard of this until finding the half sheet at a flea market. The half sheet was very different, showing people standing around piles of rubble and ruined buildings. I snagged that half sheet and waited YEARS until tracking down the one sheet. I need to see this flick eventually.

GONE WITH THE WIND (70s re-release):
GONE WITH THE WIND was my grandmother's favorite movie. This was the poster I knew from the 70s as a kid. GONE WITH THE WIND's big re-release that decade was 1974. However, when the new Festival Cinemas opened in 1976 (with SIX screens! Zowie!), GONE WITH THE WIND and JAWS were among the movies playing there. (The theater has long since closed and is now a used car showroom), The first time I saw GONE WITH THE WIND was on television, then on VHS and on DVD. I eventually did see it in the theater--twice. I took my grandmother both times. It really is a great film.

Hi there! Welcome to another posting of new-to-me poster in the SHOCK-O-RAMA POSTER SHOW! There is some fun stuff here, but nothing all that exciting...except I am pretty wild/pumped about the last title in the pile.YOWZA! I am super thrilled to have that.
MEL: Thanks for the note. Perhaps your copy of DISASTER is one of the copies I purchased over the years? That would be wild. I hope you are well---and thank you for stopping by.
Now let's look at the posters:
THE SENTINEL:
This movie should have been better than it was. Interesting idea---lousy execution. (Whatever happened to???) Cristina Raines stars in this quasi-ROSEMARY"S BABY (without the baby) knock-off. This poster isn't that interesting. It was a bonus poster for another poster I bought. I already have at least one of these already.

SEXY SUSAN SINS AGAIN:
I had NO IDEA what this was when I bought it...but it was cheap, so I decided to go for it. Apparently it is a German historical sex comedy about a plot to stop an assassination attempt on Napoleon. The only name actor (as far as anyone in the US would be aware of anyway) is JEFFREY HUNTER, who was the original choice to play the Captain in the pilot for the original "STAR TREK"series. Whatever...

FREDDY'S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE (Advance):
I probably already have this--I know I have the regular one sheet--but was not sure about this advance. Hmm. So I got it. This sixth was NOT the end of the series (Duh!)---and it was kind anti-climactic anyway. The 3-D finale was a great gimmick I would have rushed out to see---had I not already planned on seeing this (I'd seen all of the ELM STREET flicks in the theater to that point). The finale was STUPID (despite the 3D). Oh well. Freddy is an amazing character---and trying to explain why he is the way he is was not necessarily a good idea. The following entry, "Wes Craven's New Nightmare", would be the last in the series....and that was followed by a lackluster remake of the original (the only one I didn't bother seeing in the theaters).

WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES (Style C):
I have ALL of the posters for the PLANET OF THE APES films (from the original to present day), even though some of the movies (like this one) just didn't do it for me. (Yawn). I already have a WAR poster---but it is a close up of the lead ape on horseback (at the very center of this larger scale poster). I may have this poster as well (probably do), but wasn't sure. The tagline reads "witness the end"--is this the last one? We shall see.

SISTERS:
Another poster I already have a previous copy (or two) of. Pre-SUPERMAN Margot Kidder and Jennifer ("Soap" and producer on "American Horror Story") Salt star as grown separated siamese twins. It sounds like a cool flick--but alas I have never seen it (yet). Written and directed by Brian DePalma.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pMWcYwDSZBQ/W7rYI8FwNDI/AAAAAAAAPKI/I1lOCuFSo085Oo0mNpz4HPOs-bxv6mCxACEwYBhgL/s640/Sisters.jpg)

SLAVEGIRLS FROM BEYOND INFINITY:
I think I already have a copy of this, but am not sure. I remember actually seeing this with something called CREEPAZOIDS many years ago (late 1980s). The movies were NOT memorable at all--but the experience was. The theater where this was shown was downtown and had, just a few days/weeks earlier, been a Pussycat Theater showing porn! Ha! This new theater (I think it was called The Lyric Theater?) apparently did ZERO renovations, as the place screamed porn theater when I was inside. Red velvety curtains along the walls, red seats, red-painted walls in the lobby. Even the outside marquees still had the Pussycat Theater logo on them. It was weird being in a "porn theater" watching "regular" movies. After seeing the flicks, I kept my eye out for other obscure stuff to play there I'd like to see (SLAVEGIRLS and CREEPAZOIDS played nowhere else in town). Alas, almost as soon as it opened, the Lyric closed. I don't think it was even open a month. I never got back to it and it has been shuttered ever since. The movies may have been forgettable, but the poster art on this one is cheesy cool.

THE SEX MACHINE:
I have one of these somewhere. The poster is the best thing about this flick, which used to air on Cinemax back in the day. It is some lame European sex comedy that isn't very sexy or funny. Whatever. I do remember when it played in my town though, back in the 70s (?). The ads in the newspaper called it "The Love Machine" (NOT to be confused with the Jacqueline Susann movie/book of the same name).

WILD, WILD PLANET:
I've never seen the flick, but have long admired the poster. Now it is MINE, baby! Whoo hoo!

HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD:
Do I have this already? I know I have the poster for VAN NUYS BLVD, but this one? Hmm. Filmed in Superama 185...whatever that might have been. With a great exploitation cast including Candice Rialson, Mary Woronov, Paul Bartel, Dick Miller and "Godzilla"! Ha! Cool poster, too.

Pucker up...here is the great Hammer classic, KISS OF THE VAMPIRE. You have to love this cool poster. I do. I have long wanted one of these as well...and now it is mine. Whoo hoo! Fantastic artwork!

CHEERS!
-
Hi Monster!
Sisters: Irving Berlin horror dancing "cheek-to-cheek"! With more than a dash of Salt.
The Sentinel: How many Academy Award nominated/winning/honorary actors does Ms. Raines have to keep from escaping hell: Sarandon, Miles, Ferrer, Meredith, Gardner, and Wallach!
Inspecting Sexy Susan's "Cage" adds to the "Menagerie" of the Enterprise's second Captain, eh?!
Good thing there wasn't a blacklight Slavegirls showing at your Pussycat/Lyric Theatre, Monster. If so, you may have seen the "Beyond Infinity" glow of how films were enjoyed prior to your first visit!
I love "Science Friction"! Great tagline. When you need power, plug-in and then plug-in!
Laser Girls in fully protective, recoil bikinis! Death to misogyny!
I want to attempt a clever saying about Hollywood Boulevard, but I'm currently lost in its beautiful John Solie art....
Here's to giant wrist biting vampire bats, Monster!
Okie

Another great selection! I especially like the motion thingy after "The Sentinel". It's from "Cube", an underrated Canadian sci-fi flick. It's worth checking out! The poor unfortunate being sliced and diced is Julian Richings.

Hi there! Welcome back to the SHOCK-O-RAMA POSTER SHOW! And happy (almost) HALLOWEEN! Any big plans for the spooky night? I don't know what I'll be doing, but I'll be doing it out of town. Yes, I'm running away for the holiday. So---here is my Halloween offering for this year. Not all of the posters are horror--and not all of them are even good--but there are a few gems in here (in my opinion). Take a gander...if you DARE!
But first:
Okie: Nice to see you and your crazy evaluations of my last post. Ha! Thank you (I think?) And, as to the blacklight comment at the former Pussycat Theatre. Similar thoughts were racing through my head at the time I was choosing (eew) a seat. I picked my place as carefully as I could.... Yikes!
cabmangray: Thanks for your visit. Yes, THE CUBE was a pretty groovy movie. Glad you were able to spot it. CHEERS!
And now, poster time...
NIGHTMARES:
This was a lot poster. I have several copies and didn't need another---but... I saw this movie in the theaters. It is an anthology movie. It seems like there were four (?) segments, but I only remember two of them---something about a video game and one about a woman going to the store alone with a serial killer on the loose. (The woman was so dumb---she "deserved to be killed"---but I don't recall her fate in the film. People were literally SCREAMING at her from the audience because she was so stupid. HA!) It's a crappy film with a real made-for-TV feel to it. Utterly forgettable---no wonder the poster is often included this poster as a freebie or bonus.

STAR WARS III (Advance):
Another STAR WARS something I got cheap for selling down the road. I'm so NOT ba STAR WARS fan, i don't even know the subtitle for this flick and I'm not going to bother looking it up. Ha!

THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS:
I have not seen this, but even though it appears to be a kiddie film, it looks kind of cool. I got the advance a while back. This release poster was colorful and cheap. Why not?

DIARY OF THE DEAD (British Quad):
I didn't really need this British quad for DIARY OF THE DEAD. The movie was just so-so (and I DID get to see this in the theaters). However, it is a Romero zombie flick and it is different than the US one sheet. Why not?

HELL FEST (Advance):
I just saw this the other day. Even though it did nothing at the box office (my friend and I were the ONLY ones in the theater during a matinee), I still thought it was pretty good and I could see something like this happening in real life. Scary! I decided to pick up this poster now (while it's cheap) as i have a feeling this movie may catch on down the road...

HELL FEST:
The advance poster was nice, but I really dig this final version of the poster. There are lots of great elements from the film here. It was great fun to see TONY "Candyman" TODD in a cameo part as well (He's the guy on the left in the top hat). Not a great film, but interesting. It was kind of like a throw back 80s slasher, set today and inside of a big Halloween multiple maze attraction (like Universal's HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS or KNOTTS SCARY FARM---but off in the woods somewhere).

ARMY OF DARKNESS:
Yes, another copy of EVIL DEAD 3. The EVIL DEAD films were fun---as was the recent TV series (ASH VS THE EVIL DEAD), which continues the story that was left off in ARMY OF DARKNESS (Part 3). It's interesting that after three movies, the story received three seasons on the air. The remake of the first film a few years back was thankfully ignored.

S.O.S. TITANIC (Italian 2F):
I think I must have completely missed this telling of the unfortunate Titanic saga, This one apparently started life as a 1979 TV movie here in the states. International audiences had to pay to see it in theaters, though. I'm sure it was very TV movie-esque and cheap looking. Oh well, the poster is cool.

THE EXOTIC ONES:
SCORE!!!! I have wanted this poster forever. I'd have preferred to get this under it's alternative name, THE MONSTER AND THE STRIPPER, but I will take what I can get. This shot in New Orleans exploitationer was made by Ron & June Ormond. The Ormonds got their start making westerns. When TV started eating in to the profits of westerns, they switched to horror and exploitation, creating such flicks as MESA OF LOST WOMEN and UNTAMED MISTRESS. From exploitation, they moved into producing country music movies (like FORTY ACRE FEUD and WHITE LIGHTNING ROAD) and then segued into producing roller derby on TV. After a brief return to exploitation (like this flick, THE EXOTIC ONES, and THE GIRL FROM TOBACCO ROAD), their final calling turned out to be making religious scare films, such as THE BURNING HELL and THE GRIM REAPER. This flick features the Ormond's son Tim and stars (as the monster) someone named SLEEPY LABEEF. I kid you not. Zowie!

CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (2012 French Re-Release):
Although I have a THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US one sheet, I'll never be able to afford an original CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON poster, so I am thrilled to win this cool French re-release...wallowing in the fact it is in 3D, too!

Hello. Welcome to another SHOCK-O-RAMA POSTER SHOW! 2018 is winding down.... So many posters left to get... Oh well. I guess they'll have to wait for next year.
guest4955: Thank you for visiting. Did you get a chance to see the film yet? I haven't...but really think I will eventually check it out. Come back any time.
Here's a look at some of my recent acquisitions. Take a gander...or don't!
THE NIGHT OF THE WALKING DEAD:
I paid way, way, W-A-Y too much for this poster. It is stained and torn and in pretty rough shape. Why bother? Because I had NEVER seen this poster before. Despite the title riffing on NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, this obscure Eurosploitation cheapy is about vampires instead of undead zombies, apparently. I must have been in a special kind of stupid fugue state when I bought this...

HELLFEAST (Advance):
I saw this flick a while back and thought it was good enough to catch on down the road (since it did so poorly at the box office). I got copies of the advance and the release poster for it. When they came up again at a reasonable price, I thought I'd go for it. I lost the regular release poster (which is much, much better), but did get this advance at a rather cheap price. Cool.

THE BURGLAR:
I am a Jayne Mansfield fan. This poster has some issues, but I didn't have one yet. I've never seen the flick though.

BRUNO (Costume):
Every now and again, I am known to buy props that were (supposedly) used in movies. This time, I (supposedly) have some screen-worn costumes in the mix. As I was flipping through the offerings for a recent auction, I came across the shirt (the next item down) I instantly recognized as having seen, worn by an extra, in the film "BRUNO". I thought about getting it, but taken out of context, it might be offensive (well, it IS offensive...but meant to be as part of the parodoxic comedy of the film). I thought, if I get that shirt, I should get something that Bruno wore as well. I didn't have time to track the flick down and I've only seen it once in the theater (It wasn't nearly as good as BORAT). This was said to have been worn by Bruno during the first interview in the film. Since winning it, I can find NO EVIDENCE of that. Ha! Oh well... Maybe it was in Bruno, or maybe I just bought a silly hip outfit I will never wear?

BRUNO (Extra costume):
When I saw this T-shirt for auction, I immediately flashed on seeing it, worn by an extra, in the film BRUNO. From what I read/heard, much of BRUNO (like BORAT) is improvised in front of unwitting people---kind of like a "Candid Camera" thing. To get better reactions from the unsuspecting, extras were used and costumed accordingly and fit in to the scenes. I always thought this shirt was just too much for anyone to really wear in public. Apparently, I was right. This was a costume worn by a planted extra. The photo has been censored...but I think you can figure it out.

THE DORM THAT DRIPPED BLOOD:
This was movie was originally known as PRANKS while in production (I remember it gracing the front page of FANGORIA with that title), but was released as THE DORM THAT DRIPPED BLOOD. I missed this when it came out in the 80s, but had heard good things about it. I finally saw it not long back and...eh. It was forgettable. Oh well.

THE HUNCHBACK OF THE MORGUE (Spanish):
I thought sure I had posted this already, but apparently I didn't. This country of origin poster didn't set me back all that much...so I went for it. I've never seen the flick before, but if it's a Paul Naschy, I am sure it is cheesy watchable.

THE SPY WHO DUMPED ME:
This is certainly NOT the best poster ever. Why buy it? A friend dragged me to see this back in August. I was expecting it to be terrible. Instead, I found myself actually enjoying the film far, far more than I had expected.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-heIvbFouCj4/W_jgZUDl0AI/AAAAAAAAPtw/28w3o2jrDl0URWd_7dz-YPn8U5u0anl9wCEwYBhgL/s640/spy_who_dumped_me_teaser_kunismckinnon_style_dupe2_SD15748_B.jpg)

STAR WARS I: THE PHANTOM MENACE (3D re-release):
As much as I HATED this "first" episode of the STAR WARS saga when it first came out, I DID go back and see it in its 3D release (because I'm a gimmick whore). I already have a few of these. It was cheap. Sold.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH:
Zowie! This is my big coup for this posting. It's the original JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH starring James Mason and Pat Boone. I have always loved this old fantasy flick. Cheesy with primitive effects---it's a fun watch. I've been after the poster for years. So glad it is now mine...
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NXVJ3QWj17g/W_jfwOuFWgI/AAAAAAAAPtg/tTUjTm2wiFoGBOFZYXvpnSK9i1TV47nNQCEwYBhgL/s640/journey_to_the_center_of_the_earth_WC18275_B.jpg)

And that's it for now. I'll be back soon. I'm almost done with my NEXT installment already. Ha! I hope your holiday season is ho-ho wonderful.

Happy December! Are you ready for the holidays? I'm not. And a lot of late in the year/early next year expenses have me curtailing my poster purchases. This will probably be my final posting for 2018... Let's take a look:
MAUSOLEUM:
Yes, I already have one of these. It came with the poster below it. I've never seen MAUSOLEUM---which surprises the heck out of me. It's probably trash---I'm sure I'd love it.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iOIF3vy5Xsk/W_v37W1R4FI/AAAAAAAAPuw/207nw8L4n8EjnWJuE5-3wI4lRivBOH-NgCLcBGAs/s640/Mausoleum%2BB.jpg)

NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES:
I remember seeing this flick at a theater that no longer exists back in the day. I had cut class my freshman year of college to see it. I got there in my clunker old Mustang, saw the flick, and got back home. The next time I tried to drive, my car was dead. Phew! Had it died just one trip earlier, I'd have been stranded at the theater...and my class cutting would have been discovered. Ha! And for this movie? Hmm. Not the best zombie flick ever. Far from it, actually. I already have a copy of this poster but thought I'd get an upgrade.

SOLO (Character Advance):
I am reasonably sure I have this already. It was cheap--so why not? This is strictly a low-risk investment. I'm hoping it will increase in value---but who knows?
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yJc8EeQGnro/XAB5-36WoXI/AAAAAAAAPxU/SiBw1gyD3_IOWRb4pBew-L-ug8kEspehACLcBGAs/s640/solo_cast_style_teaser_s1325020_SD15765_B.jpg)

The COCKTAIL HOSTESSES:
I just picked this up, minutes ago, from eMovie's store. It's not the most exciting poster ever (far from it) and no where does it say this, but this film was written by Ed "PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE" Wood. So, of course, I needed one. This is an A.C. Stephens flick... I've never seen it. I don't know if it is even available anywhere.

HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL / DAUGHTER OF DR. JEKYLL (re-release combo):
I will probably never own a HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL...so this re-release double feature poster will have to do. (I already have a poster for DAUGHTER OF DRACULA...but, whatever...)
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hD2OPeMXIzw/XAB5-ri3mcI/AAAAAAAAPxQ/FfztkH9eszIofTWxw86Z3DR79o8VqPfUwCLcBGAs/s640/House%2Bon%2BHaunted%2BHill%2Band%2BDaughter%2Bof%2BDr%2BJekyll%2Brerelease%2Bcombo.jpg)

WAR-GODS OF THE DEEP:
I saw this poster years ago---and have been trying to get it ever since. I had never seen the movie until very recently. When I finally did see it, well...the desire for the poster waned greatly---and then it became mine. Ha! Great cast--Vincent Price, Tab Hunter, David Tomlinson and Susan Hart--wasted in this wild undersea (badly faked) adventure.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HW-O9beAIb0/W_jfynSN6vI/AAAAAAAAPto/tze8-H6ayZg9dKoqG7tjSUSe3AN6gVg_gCPcBGAYYCw/s640/war_gods_of_the_deep_NG07208_B.jpg)

BASKET CASE:
I already have a couple of copies of this poster---but this went much cheaper than I thought it should (or maybe people today don't know the movie? It is AWESOME in its low budget brilliance). The sequels were crap and possibly cheapened the value of the original? I remember sneaking out of the house and pushing my car down the block a ways before starting it so i could see a midnight showing of this flick. I was supposed to meet a friend there...but never found her...so ended up watching it alone. Ha!

THE LOST VOLCANO:
When "Boy" (Johnny Sheffield) from the TARZAN series grew too old for the part---he was shipped off to school and never seen again. But some smart producer took Sheffield and had him star in the Bomba-The Jungle Boy series. I've been trying to track these posters down forever. I score one finally a year or so ago...and now this one. Usually they go so high...but I snagged this one at a surprisingly reasonable price! Whoo hoo!
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TtxQTF1zDwc/W_jfwLOStHI/AAAAAAAAPtg/dxot6Skm-ggafwwUZ4XdiyIp-3fhzbgxgCPcBGAYYCw/s640/lost_volcano_NG06856_B.jpg)

JAWS (Turkish):
I already have a Turkish JAWS...but it was badly damaged in shipping. (GRRRR!) I needed another and this fit the bill. The added addition of the swimmer in the shark's mouth was inspired. Ha!

THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES WHO STOPPED LIVING AND BECAME MIXED-UP ZOMBIES:
This (to me) is the real prize in this posting. INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES... may be one craptastic piece of cinematic sleaze, but it is also amazing in its craptasticness. It's in "Terrorama" and it is (gasp!) "the First Monster Musical"! Ha! I've wanted one of these forever. Finally it is MINE! Whoo HOO!

And that's 10. This is gonna do it for 2018, but I should have more in 2019 (I actually already have two so far to kick the new year off!). May your Christmas be jolly and filled with posters you've been dreaming of. Here is to 2019 being the most amazing year ever!

Who better to string together: Vampira's impossibly tiny waist; Cesar Romero as Santa; Russian trolled Schreck Solo; a dead, sneaky Mustang; artificial flavor Doug Henning RIP; cocktail two-cheek sneak; Louella "Watch Out" Parsons; Last Man on Earth cork screw; Price Tab's Hart; Rugged lonely rendezvous; where's my volcano loin cloth; Hermey dentistry from the mountains to the sea; Monster Mash-stick out your tush; and, horror host pantoumery? Well, our own little Monster, of course! God bless us, every go-go.

Happy new year!
OKIE: I've been rushing my posts the last few times (including this one). I need to find "new material" and gifs. But I'm glad you like whatever I do to add to the post. CHEERS!
Welcome to 2019 and a whole new year of poster collecting! Oh boy, what treasures will we find this year? Below you will find my first new pieces of precious paper for the new year. Granted, some (most?) were purchased in late 2018, but they are making their debut here for the first time! Let's take a peek...
THE CLASS REUNION:
Another of the ED WOOD-penned nudie flicks for AC STEPHEN. I didn't realize it at the time I purchased this, but I ALREADY HAVE a copy of this poster. Oh well. It's always nice to have a spare, I guess. It was cheap anyway...

THE SNOW BUNNIES:
Speaking of ED WOOD-penned nudies for AC STEPHEN, here is another one...THE SNOW BUNNIES! I've never seen any of these WOOD/STEPHEN flicks, but would love to eventually. Notice the four actresses mentioned in THE CLASS REUNION are also the 4-billed stars of SNOW BUNNIES? Ha!

SOLO (Character advance):
I now have three of these (four? five?), I think. (Heck, I had one in my last post!) Cheap posters...I just hope my gamble that they will go up in value will prove true. Hmm.

GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS:
What is this, you ask? It's just the poster for one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, is all. I was taken to see GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS in its brief theatrical run back in 2003. One of my all-time favorite BAD movies is "VALLEY OF THE DOLLS". I was told this was like a comedic send-up of DOLLS. Okay... And while I could see the DOLLS connection (three women trying to make it in Hollywood), it was not very DOLLS-like at all. But it was politically incorrect HILARIOUS. I LOVED it. All of the parts--men, women, child--are portrayed by males. But the drag thing was secondary...and I forgot the "women" were not really women--MOST of the time. (I don't know why they had to be played by drag queens---since they were supposed to be 'real" women. But whatever. It worked.) The poster is not much...but it is fairly difficult to find. I've been looking for years. I thought this flick was so funny, that I sent money to its Kickstarteer campaign in 2010 to help make a sequel, to be called GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS 2012. I'm actually maybe supposed to be in the flick briefly...but as of yet, the sequel film has NOT been released. Oh well...

LIGHTS OUT (lenticular advance):
I think lenticular's are cool. This one just has the light switch off and on...but the movie was good and I got this for $45 plus shipping. Not bad for a lenticular.

V/H/S:
I may have one of these already, but when i saw this on Netflix a while back, I thought it was pretty good. I had no idea it played theatrically, so getting this theatrical poster is groovy for me.

GODZILLA - KING OF THE MONSTERS (2019):
New GODZILLA movie, new poster. I got one early to beat the crazy crowd that makes everything so high priced as it gets closer to the film debuting. While the new GODZILLA flicks are not rocking my world, they are okay. I still need an original GODZILLA and a DESTROY ALL MONSTERS. I think I have the rest of the other original (US) posters...

BLADE RUNNER 2049 (advance):
I usually avoid buying posters for sequels (except the STAR WARS movies as the fans still buy those like crazy...), but this one was an interesting exception. The original goes for big bucks--and how crazy to make a sequel 30 years later. Awesome.

THE INVISIBLE MAN (French petite re-release 2000):
Shocking as it may seem, I have never seen THE INVISIBLE MAN films. (Calm down. Calm down. I do have the LEGACY COLLECTION and am working my way through it. I'll get to this sooner or later. I just finished THE MUMMY flicks...). I really dig the French portrait posters for the early 2000 re-releases. I'll have to get the others, but am happy with this one for now.

THE MONSTER WALKS (1938 re-release 3-sheet):
I've never seen this flick, but understand it is readily available as it is in public domain. I purchased this--at the last minute--in eMovie's December Major Auction, not realizing at the moment that it was a re-release poster. However, a 1932 3-sheet may no longer be known to exist any longer, according to this blurb in the auction: Important Added Info: Note that we have never seen a 1932 three-sheet for this movie (for that matter, we have also never seen a 1932 one-sheet, either!). So we don't know if the 1932 posters would have similar or different images to the 1938 Astor re-release posters (often, Astor posters are very similar to the first release posters). We have seen an Argentinean poster that appears to be from 1932, and that had almost the same image as the 1938 one-sheet, so we think it is likely that this 1938 three-sheet has the same or a similar image as the original 1932 three-sheet. If anyone HAS ever seen a 1932 one-sheet or three-sheet for this movie, please e-mail us and we will post that information here. Also note this three-sheet poster was tri-folded only (which means there is one less vertical machine fold than usual). This means the poster has a significantly lesser number of folds than with three-sheets folded in the "regular" way, which is nice!
Either way, it is a nice-looking poster and I am happy to get it. With this one, i feel like i am starting off the new year right.

BE KIND REWIND:
This movie was dated when it came out. VHS tapes were pretty much over when this hit theaters. So why buy it? In my home town, they have an annual "Swede Fest". The idea of "Sweding" a movie comes from this film. In the film, they needed a "Ghostbusters" tape---and didn't have one, so they remade it and rented it as the original. Then they remade other hits---all on a shoestring budget. That was "sweding".I thought I'd get the poster in honor of our festival. (More about the festival HERE).

Hello! It is my second post of the new year, and already things are shaping up to be a rather mediocre (at best) year. The posters below represent my continual stupid practice on bidding on just about anything before heading to or secretly while at work---losing all of the good stuff and getting stuck with crap I really do not want. (And speaking of crap I really do not want, I am in the process of getting tons of stuff packaged up and shipped to auction...Why keep all of the flotsam and sludge I really don't want and/or will never hang?) There's not much to see. But if you have a few minutes to waste---feel free to wander around and take a look.
But first...
RICH: The poster is a bit of a horror, too. NOT attractive at all. Ha!
Okay--poster time:
YOUNGBLOOD (Australian daybill):
I never saw this. I don't think I have ever heard of it, actually. I saw that Patrick Swayze was in it and thought that might make it collectible? What was i thinking? That's not even Patrick Swayze in the main photo. (OOPS! But I was looking at my phone secretly at work when I bid. i couldn't tell it was Rob Lowe.) Ha! I'm sure that, as soon as I get it, I'll turn around and get rid of it again.

HOW TO STUFF A WILD BIKINI (Australian daybill):
Another "what was I thinking?" purchase. While I admit I like my "Beach Party" movies and have all of the posters for them already, I went after this one because of the title change. "Stuff" became "Fill" down under because apparently "Stuff" is slang for...well, a four-lettered word beginning with an "F". I thought that was funny...and wonder HOW they got around the opening title theme song. Did they re-record it with "Fill"? Was it cut altogether? If not, I'm sure there were shocked adults and a lot of giggling youngsters when this showed. Ha!

THE FIRST PURGE:
This is the 4th film in the series. Normally I do not bother with sequel posters---with exceptions (Bond, horror franchises I like, etc.). This one I should have let go by as well. However, i have posters for the other three films, so why not?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k-bmOyI1lTs/XC3OQ40BJqI/AAAAAAAAP8A/D5g8xsXCs7UGqhTZIGF-kYlL6brKCqgvQCLcBGAs/s640/first_purge_teaser_SD15712_Bsmall.jpg)

TRANSYLMANIA:
Another poster I didn't need. What was I thinking when I bought this turd? Well, this spring, I have a big European trip coming up with friends. I'll visit London, Florence, Naples/Pompeii, and Rome. I will be leaving my friends while in London for several days in St. Petersburg (Yes, in RUSSIA!) to visit another friend. I have another friend in Romania I am toying with the idea of going to see while we are in Florence for a week. Looking into that possibility (which I am thinking more and more about making a reality), I realized that the Transylvania area of Romania is only a few hours drive from Bucharest, where my Romanian friend lives. Hmm. Maybe I can get up there as well? While heavily excited about the possibility of seeing the real Transylvania, this poster came up and I bought just because. I've never seen the flick and I am guessing it is bad, bad, BAD. Oh well...

QUERELLE (German):
I have been thinking a lot about my poster-collecting friend who committed suicide two years ago. I bought a lot of his posters when they came to auction---but a lot I had to let go to others. I remember this particular poster was one I let go. I remember thinking the front of the sailor guy's undershirt was strangely too low cut. It looks like he has boobs with a hairy cleavage (well, it IS I guess)...it almost looks like a hairy butt. Dumb, random thought---but that is why I remember this poster. I've never seen QUERELLE, so I have no idea if it is any good or not. I also have no idea why I bought this because I am reasonably sure it is NOT Scott's copy. UGH!

ALIEN (Large French):
This is one of those posters I recently bought after remembering an auction was happening and trying to quickly sneak a look on my phone (with tiny pictures) and just bid blindly. When I bid, i had no idea this was French. UGH! I already have an ALIEN poster. It was one of the first posters I ever had as a kid...so it is not in the best condition. i wanted this as a replacement. Now I'll just turn around and sell it again...

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VII--THE NEW BLOOD (International one sheet):
Why did I buy this? I already have a few copies of the domestic version. UGH!!!! What a waste of cash-o-rama.

ANDY WARHOL'S BLUE MOVIE (German):
I do like my Warhol posters....and this was not released in the US. But why am I not loving it? Hmm.

HERE COMES THE DEVIL:
This poster is not that exciting...but to me, it is the "winner" of the bunch. I've never seen this flick, but I have heard good things about it. Hopefully, if I do see it, it will live up to its reputation and be the sole positive purchase out of all of these in today's post. (If it sucks, well... Back into the resale pile it goes...)

Hello and welcome back. It's time for more posters and again...there's not much to be excited about. Hmm. Well, since you are, you might as well take a look. There may be something that catches your eye...
BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE (International Style A teaser):
I never saw this movie, but I remember thinking the trailer for it made it look good. I DID want to go. I thought I would at least get the poster and maybe I'll see the flick sometime? Did anyone see it? Is it worth my time? Hmm.

ANTIBIRTH:
I've never seen this. The poster is colorful, but the art is...eh. However, the film intrigues me now---which is why I went for the poster. Just look at those reviews; "Gross as Hell" and "Epically F***ED-UP!" Wow! I need to see this. I have a copy sitting in my cart on Amazon even as I write this... ha!

KISS ME, STUPID:
Hmm. This was cheap. I don't think I've ever heard of it---but Kim Novak? Dean Martin? In a film by Billy Wilder? I thought this was probably a bargain and snatched it up...but I am not sure. hmm.

THE PREDATOR (style A teaser):
I'm also unsure about the wisdom of getting this poster. Is it a remake or a sequel. i didn't bother to see it. I do have a poster for all of the other PREDATOR films though (why I have them, I'm not quite sure...but...)

THE SEVEN MAGNIFICENT GLADIATORS:
Not a HERCULES film, but along the same lines---from the brief revitalized interest in the 80s. I've never seen it. It's probably crap. oh well.

I DEMONI (aka THE DIRT GANG) (Italian 4 F):
UGH! Bad bid again...this was another quickie bid on my phone at work. I thought the poster looked cool...a wild Charles Manson-looking dude and a title like "I Demoni"--it sounded up my alley. Who knew it was something released here as "The Dirt Gang"? That sounds utterly dull (as dirt). And it turned out to be a 4 F. I hate that size! Grr...

HORROR EXPRESS (German):
I( have a lot of different posters for HORROR EXPRESS--all with different art work. This art is, in my opinion, the preferred art for the film. I'm glad to have it.

I have the US release, but have never had this International poster for the second to the last of the Pierce Brosnan Bond films. I liked this outing--despite Denise Richards playing a scientist (named Christmas Jones, or something like that). Ha!

TWO LOST WORLDS:
I've seen this poster only once before. I have never seen the flick. I wonder if the dinosaur scenes are just borrowed from other old films or new? (It looks cheap---I'm guessing the shots are borrowed. Ha!) "Jim Arness" is really James Arness from the old "Gunsmoke" TV show (I looked that up at least). The poster is kind of fun---but the dinosaurs look like the artist was from the 7th grade or something. Ha!

And that's it for now. Thanks for visiting. I know the collection was not all that fab this time...but it was a step up from last time. (Hopefully) I'm already working on the next installment. Stay tuned.

CHEERS!

I love checking your collection Gogo. I don’t always comment but I always enjoy it. The posters, of course, but mostly your comments. Keep it up.

Welcome! Can you believe it is February already? Jeepers! 2019 is off to a go-go crazy fast pace already. Here are some new posters---some not so fab, others are kind of cool (maybe). So have a seat, make yourself comfortable and let's cha-cha-cha our way through them, shall we?
But first...
THIERRY: It is always an unexpected, but welcome, surprise to find a comment from you. Thank you. I'm glad my silly little thread amuses you somewhat. :)

THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG:
Do I have this already? Hmm. I think I do. Disney's first African-American princess tale. I've not seen it, but hope to. I understand there's voodoo and supernatural stuff (all G-rated, of course) in it. How fun.

THE WEIRD WORLD OF LSD (Article style, trimmed):
Normally I would be THRILLED to get this poster. However, it was a last minute bid and...oops! I didn't realize until after my bid was placed that it was TRIMMED. Grrr! Back in the resell pile it goes...

WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (re-release):
I have a few copies of this. I also have an original release poster as well. I love this film. It's scrumdiddlyumptious! Speaking of Wonka, a while back the makers of CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY had an open call, looking for people who were clever enough to write their cards for future editions. If you know the game, you know how random and how politically incorrect it is. I submitted some things, but the only one that was any good (that I even still remember) was this: "A Golden Ticket to your anus". I thought that was clever--but, alas, they never called. Oh well.

STREETS OF FIRE:
Never saw this....
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-X3ajnZuElhE/XFTBupxR82I/AAAAAAAAQNw/hfU7iYDcIYs0_GT-Corf0MWkRrE8bvQ6QCEwYBhgL/s640/STREETS%2BOF%2BFIRE.jpg)

WATCHMEN (Teaser):
I saw this, but don't remember much other than a naked blue giant ghost guy. I thought it had become a cult favorite---and I bid a token amount for this...and it became mine. Maybe I was mistaken about its cult status? Oh well. It was cheap...
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M87lZUCkKYc/XFTBviOgmAI/AAAAAAAAQN8/Xh0QKR1Yy8waxXRqSCYlnW68K1KiWFHcACEwYBhgL/s640/WATCHMEN%2Badvance.jpg)

PREHISTORIC WOMEN:
Do I already have one of these? While I am reasonable sure that I do, I'm not 100% positive...so I got this copy. Did I really need it? NO! Hmm. It's a small consolation prize as I missed almost everything else I was watching in the auction (as I completely forgot about it until about an hour in... Yikes!). Oh well...
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cSBp4qxYt4o/XEi1OvClGWI/AAAAAAAAQDw/A9A_broFMiAsnt_l6sP216Sbv6ZhstBnQCLcBGAs/s640/prehistoric_women_NG07790_B%2BB.jpg)

THE UNTOUCHABLES:
I saw this when it came out in theaters originally. All I remember is the baby carriage scene, with the carriage descending stairs---or just about to (even that memory is murky. Jeepers!).But when i saw this poster at auction, even though it is a more modern poster, I really liked the layout and went for it.

RETURN OF THE JEDI (Style A):
I'm no STAR WARS fan. I did see all of them (except "Episodes II and III") in the theaters. This went cheap and I bought it as an investment. I'll turn around and sell it sooner than later.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tPSK3Y5eYDg/XFTBusCbYFI/AAAAAAAAQOE/gJSN9xE_t7YXIZOaktqyJe-HYH4MbYw2wCEwYBhgL/s640/RETURN%2BOF%2BTHE%2BJEDI%2Bstyle%2BA.jpg)

GHOSTBUSTERS (International):
I have another one of these. This is my favorite style of GHOSTBUSTERS posters as it has the "no Ghost" symbol, a shot of the cast, and it has the title. (I really don't like the one sheet that has the "no Ghost" symbol---and nothing else, not even the title.) Did I need it? No. Am I glad I bought it? Not really... Oh well.

I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN:
I have long wanted one of these (and its companions I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF and HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER). This one has been on eBay forever...and I've been watching it just as long. The price has dropped little by little with no takers. Why? The word "Frankenstein" is on the fold line and the paper has torn through somewhat on the "A" and "N"...so it has some minor issues. it could be linenbacked, but I think it will be okay simply framed. You really can't tell that easily. I'm pleased with it...I think.

Okay... You came. You saw. You wasted a few minutes. Yikes---that is even MORE time gone from February. Zowie! The year is just flying by.
I've already got several posters ready for next time. So stay tuned. I'll be back...

Hi Monster!
You've got quite a theme (subliminal or intentional, you tricky Monster?!) running through you latest post: is change good or ...!?
Stay with me here: woman to man; frog to prince; farm girl--witch killer; normal dancing--cafe table knee dancing (oh, my!); eye in-- eye out; grandad in bed--grandad out of bed; pink cougars and babes--"Heavens to murgatroyd!" has new meaning; ash streets--being young; blood in the head--blood headed down the street; Rorschach behind bars--Rorschach outside bars (watch again and you'll remember); Resuscitation Annie--Where are my arms and fanny (U.S. meaning intended and apologies to our UK members); Prehistoric duotone--color by Deluxe; Michael with popcorn--Corny Pop Michael (oh man, but I sure like ABC and I'll be There); Untouchable-- tax touchable; I have no idea what these attached dummies are, and I'm scared to guess: so, bat hole--pie hole; I return--I revenge (too easy? okay, how about Ewoks are here--Chewie Ewoks); Chimp in a chair--Gorilla in the room; "They're here to save the world"--Where's that next script? (all due respect RIP Harold Ramis); Margaret Keane--Tim Burton; Teenage Frankenstein--Dr. Doogie Monster; and, Herman's Munster--Pee Wee's Herman (too easy again?). Always a pleasure, Monster!!!

Welcome back! My 2019 semi-slump-o-rama continues with some good stuff...and more crap I didn't need. Oh well. Take a gander (if you dare). You may become paralyzed with SHOCK and HORROR (...shock and horror that I actually bothered to buy some of the crap you'll see laid before your very eyes)! Can your heart stand the terror of scrolling down for a look-see!?! You have been WARNED. Proceed with caution:
But first...
OKIE: Zowie! You can find patterns in the most random of things. Ha! Thank you for your visit and well thought out comment. The photo you reposted of the weird-faced mannequin things is a photo I took in a CPR class one time. I thought it was unusual and kind of creepy...so I slapped it on the page. Your visits are always amazing--and amusing. Thank you again...and dare you venture below for more? Ha!
MANNEQUIN:
Good lord.... whatEVER possessed me to buy this? Sure, it's an 80's flick and the first in a series (of two), but REALLY? MANNEQUIN? I have NO IDEA why this ended up being bid on by me at all...
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HcRjK34Z2Fo/XFtZkWFyxTI/AAAAAAAAQQk/7FDV_awSFYQvb1ygmD75uZ4u494xXjxhgCEwYBhgL/s640/mannequin_advance_SD16509_B%2BB.jpg)

MIDNIGHT EXPRESS (International):
This is normally NOT my kind of movie. Someone dragged me off to go see this when it first came out. It turned out that I loved this flick. It was deserving of it's Oscar nominations. But the poster? Snore... I so did NOT need it. I already have the US version (which is also rather dull). WHY did I bid? WHY???

SUPER FLY T.N.T.:
I have never seen this flick or its predecessor, but I really have a thing for blaxploitation flicks from the 70's...especially the horror titles. I have a SUPER FLY poster, but was not sure about the sequel. So...
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JCSL0Zr9ymA/XFtZmrrG8lI/AAAAAAAAQQ4/fq0As2CiAPAjjU9XCL0_On6_kjehQb_IQCEwYBhgL/s640/super_fly_tnt_intl_SD16511_B%2BB.jpg)

THE SEX MACHINE:
This is a god-awful, badly dubbed Euro sex comedy from the 70s that played a LOT on Cinemax or Showtime or something back in the day. The best thing about it is the poster. I had a bad copy of the poster and wanted a better one. So, I got this one. However, I have since realized that I already BOUGHT a better copy---last October (yes, less than 4 months ago!). ARGH!!!! I had totally forgotten and I spent way too much money trying to get this one. GRRR.

CONCORDE AFFAIRE '79 (Italian):
This was cheap. I didn't need it, but I love my disaster movies (especially from the 1970s) and I love my Italian ripoff flicks. Ripoff, you ask? Yes! You might have this title confused with Universal's AIRPORT sequel from the same year, THE CONCORDE, AIRPORT '79. To confuse moviegoers even more, not only does it steal elements from AIRPORT '79...it also steals from the underwater crash and rescue from the previous AIRPORT '77 and features JOSEPH COTTON who was in AIRPORT '77. I have the flick on DVD, but have not watched it yet. (Someday...) The whole mess (I've heard it is awful) was directed by Ruggero (billed as "Roger". Ha!) Deodato, who is most famous for his flick CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST. This film also stars James Franciscus, Mimsy Farmer, Edmund Purdon, and Van Johnson.

MS 45 (legs version):
I have been wanting this a poster for this flick forever. I've never seen the movie, but I want to. I've seen this poster pop up many times before, but always in a condition that I didn't want. Finally, after many years, there came one in a condition I could live with. This is such a great, sexploitive poster. It is much better than the alternate poster for the film, featuring a Hefty bag with a bloody arm hanging out of it.

REVENGE OF THE DEAD:
Also known as ZEDER, this poster art is very cool and suckered me into renting this flick back in the VHS days. The film itself is AWFUL! I don't really think there was even a single zombie in it. Utter crap---but, like I said, great zombie art on the poster. Apparently the Code Red version of the film, released on disc as ZEDER, is uncut and the REVENGE OF THE DEAD version that was released here theatrically and on VHS was heavily edited. What was missing, I could not say...but it is doubtful i'll bother with it ever again (unless I become a hopeless insomniac).

NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES:
This crap-o-rama Italian film by Bruno Mattei is better known today as HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD on DVD and BLU RAY, However, it was released here in early 1984 as NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES. Cool poster art, but stupid movie. Of COURSE I have it. Ha! I got another copy of this poster not long back...but for whatever reason, I went for it AGAIN. I'm a sucker for zombies... When this (and other unrated flicks) came out with the self-imposed "No One Under 17 Admitted" (which, I think, started with DAWN OF THE DEAD) fortunately my local theaters viewed this as meaning they were rated R. Although I was of age when NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES came out, with others (such as DAWN...), I had to either have my grandmother (!!!) take me or try to pass for being 17. I don't think I was ever turned away. Ha!

FRANKENSTEIN (2008 French re-release):
Although it is a modern poster using just photographic elements, I really dig these French re-releases. I have a small INVISIBLE MAN from this series, but I want to get a larger version of it to match this poster, as well as THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN poster. Were any others re-released with similar posters? It would be great to get the full Universal monster series as done like these posters.

THE KILLER SHREWS:
Another groovy score (in a posting of mostly NOT so groovy scores), this poster is for the old 1950s shocker. (Well, shocker may be too kind of a word....perhaps "snorer" would be more appropriate?) Giant killer shrews attack people on an island (I think it was an island). The shrews were actually small dogs in fierce costumes and the film itself is pretty dull and typical of the output of the period. Third-billed Ken Curtis went on to play Festus on "GUNSMOKE". Believe it or not, there is a statue of Curtis as Festus standing in the Old Town section of my city. (Curtis lived here briefly, apparently.) There was also a modern, direct-to-video sequel in 2012, THE RETURN OF THE KILLER SHREWS, It's out of print and the used copies are kind of pricey. Anyone see it? Any good?

Monster, another great Freak-O-Vision selection! The Ms.45 1-sheet is the one to have. Great movie. The 2008 French reissue of Frankie, Bride of Frankie, and Invisible Man were the only films reissued. The thread connecting them is director James Whale. Why they were reissued in 2008 I don't know.

Hello, and welcome back. This poster haul is not that stellar. I vote you skip it now and save yourself the bother. Why post it then? So I have a visual record of what I have.
But you may notice there are only 8 posters instead of my customary 10. That is because this will be the last post for awhile...at least until late April or, more likely, sometime in May or June. I'm leaving on a trip to Europe for several weeks and won't be home until the 18th or so. These 8 are all of the new stuff I have to share at the moment.
But first...
cabmangray: Hi there. I appreciate your recent visit. I'm glad there was at least ONE thing (Ms 45) there that was of interest. And thank you for the info on the Whale re-releases. I really like them. CHEERS!
Okay, take a look below or don't. I'll be seeing you...
KENNY & CO:
I didn't need this when I came across it...and I think I already have one anyway. (Which is good because--argh!--I did not notice the rating has a snipe over it. Grrr!) KENNY & CO. is an early Don "Phantasm" Coscarelli flick. When I was a kid during winter break of 1978, my parents took my brother and me to San Diego. We stayed in this ordinary hotel that sort of became magical to my brother and I. I can't remember all of the cool things that happened, but there was a vending machine that gave us free ice creams. Ha!) There was cable TV in the room. KENNY & CO was on it and we LOVED it. We watched it several times and would mention to each other occasionally through the years. A long while back it was released on DVD and I bought us each a copy. Watching it as an adult...well, it didn't seem at all what I recalled and was not that great to my grown up eyes. Oh well. The poster takes me back to the magic of December 1978 somewhat, at least.

LOVE ISLAND:
This was probably a stupid purchase--and I got it super cheap. If nothing else, i can put it in my tiki room---if I ever have a tiki room. Why did I buy it? Although I have never seen it, the fact it stars Eva Gabor as an island native (probably the only native girl with an inexplicable Hungarian accent) screamed out high camp to me...kind of like Zsa Zsa being the only Venusian with a Hungarian accent in QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE.But this flick apparently features BLAZING LIPS and THROBBING ADVENTURE!

SEPTEMBER STORM:
Yes, I have this poster already---several times over. I can't help it. I just see an old 3D poster and I have to make it mine...especially when it goes so cheaply...even though I have several already. And I have yet to see the flick (But I do have the 3D blu ray---I just need a 3D TV. ARGH!)

THE WATCHER IN THE WOODS:
I've never seen this supernatural (?) Disney movie (one of their first rated--gasp!-- PG! Jeepers!), but I was always curious about it. I don't think it got very good reviews and I don't think it was a box office success...but... And Lifetime apparently remade it with Angelica Houston in the Bette Davis role. Which is better? Hmm. Whatever--this was a cheap poster.

THE OMEN (Turkish):
This Turkish OMEN poster is one of my favorite Turkish posters. Yes, I already have a copy of this. I'm a spaz. I do not know how else to explain it.

HATCHET:
I had no idea HATCHET played theatrically until I saw this poster for sale. Of course, i bought it--despite it being not so very exciting.

JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM (Teaser):
The Jurassic Park series has been around a long while---with some good entries and some not so great. This last one was pretty good, but the previous chapter was better. I didn't like the posters for the last installment and don't really buy posters for sequels in general (I do in some instances---like my horror and Bond franchises). Still, I liked the art on this one, so...

CAPTAIN SINBAD (Italian 2F):
I am really delighted with this little find. Italian posters were (past tense...since everyone does quick/cheap Photoshop stuff these days) so wonderfully painted back in the day. I've got a collection of Sinbad movies, including the US release of this film. However, for some reason, the US poster calls the film "CAPTAIN SINDBAD" and that extra "D" just bugs the crap out of me. I don't know why they did it. ALL of the cinematic Sinbads I've tracked down have always used the single "D" spelling. My only guess is they were trying to avoid any copyright infringement from "THE SEVENTH VOYAGE OF SINBAD" at the time? Who knows... Who cares...? I'm just glad to have this. Yippie!

Okay---I know that wasn't much, but it is all I have at the moment. I'll see you after my trip...in May or June at the earliest (if I can afford anything. Europe will be expensive---and I can just hear my wallet crying already. Ha!)
Thanks for looking. Have a groovy day.

Tickets! Get your tickets! The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is about to begin...
Hi there. I am back from my trip and finally have a few more poster to share. I did NOT find anything in Europe to buy, unfortunately...yet I have a couple of stories about Europe to share here. Anyway, the staff is ready to help you find your seat. The show will be starting in just a moment. ENJOY!

GONE WITH THE WIND (1954 re-release):
I just got back from spending several weeks in Europe. While in England, I met/visited with a female movie poster collector friend o' mine and gifted her with a 1961 re-release poster for GONE WITH THE WIND.
Then, on the l-o-n-g 12 1/2 hour flight home from Rome, I watched several movies. To help eat up time, one of the flicks I watched was GONE WITH THE WIND. While I was gone, I had occasionally logged on to poster auction sites. I'd bid randomly on an item here or there, but didn't follow the auction as the time zones were all off for me and I was busy playing tourist. I won nothing, or so I thought...
When I got home, I visited my auction sites to see what was going on. Was there anything new I needed to watch? And there, on Heritage, was an invoice. I had won a 1954 re-release for GONE WITH THE WIND. While not nearly as nice as the one I gave my friend, I had absolutely NO MEMORY of bidding on it. Ha!
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pYS7apjG5l4/XMJNp6jykgI/AAAAAAAAQ90/q25Bsq7_7X4n7H3_prGhW4LSfmwQdbC0wCLcBGAs/s640/GWTW%2B1954%2Bb.jpg)

THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA:
When I was in Russia, I stumbled into a food court (which they called Food Park). Although some may consider me an adventurous traveler, I'm NOT adventurous when it comes to food. I don't like a lot of things and I had no idea what a lot of Russian dishes were (let alone how to pronounce them). I went up the escalator in the Food Park looking for the Burger King (Burger Czar?) that was advertised as being up there. (I usually hate Burger King, but... I knew what it was.) The upstairs turned out to be a lobby for a movie theater. (There was a Burger King food court hidden up there as well.) I saw posters for things like SHAZAM and the new AVENGERS flick---all in Russian, of course. And then I saw this poster:
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Acjt5Q2XoqE/XMRNxLVh2sI/AAAAAAAAQ_s/4a4Im3QNHfY47eMzDEJkQ4L91qmVCngWQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0376.JPG)
Zowie! That looked creepy cool. What was that? I had no clue.
Upon arrival home, I was happily surprised to see the same poster...in English (well, mostly) for the new horror flick LA LLORONA, which I had no idea was even coming out. I quickly snatched up the poster as I had been fascinated by what it could be since seeing it in St Petersburg. Of course, now I've actually seen the movie and...well, it's okay, but nothing new or original. Just the same ol' horror schlock from THE CONJURING people (think THE NUN or INSIDIOUS). Oh well... Still a cool image.
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q1TR6UY3wqo/XMJNp4YFfNI/AAAAAAAAQ9w/Rn15l0z3ZqMqPqtUrUJCdeV2UUhb-KUngCLcBGAs/s640/Curse%2Bof%2BLa%2BLlorona%2BB.jpg)

THE BLACK GESTAPO:
Thankfully I already have one of these--with the correct title. This was in an auction when I first got home. I hadn't previewed anything and had to bid early as I worked. THE BLACK GESTAPO is a cool poster. I couldn't believe it was going for so little. (I had paid much more for my other copy.) It was only after I was home from work and I had won the poster that I realized...oops! This version had been re-titled GHETTO WARRIORS. UGH! I'll just turn around and resell it later. Curiously though, it still says "BLACK GESTAPO" in the lower credits. Hmm.

THE MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD/THE RETURN OF DRACULA/THE VAMPIRE (triple feature re-release):
Do you have guts? Can you take 15,000 terrifying seconds of horror in one show! Ha! I may have this poster already---I'm not sure. But just in case, I couldn't let this triple feature re-release poster go. It's just too cool! Apparently this re-release featured green-tinted (or perhaps just a green filter put on the projector?) film as it is "presented in GRUESOME GREEN"! AWESOME!!!

RACE WITH THE DEVIL:
I saw this movie on TV when I was a kid...and the story stuck with me. Recently (as in within the last week) I finally gave it another watch. While the idea of the movie is truly horrifying, the movie itself is agonizingly s-l-o-w. Oh well. I have a one sheet already, but it has missing corners. I have long been searching for a replacement---but they always escaped my grasp. Luckily I scored this one and not at a bad price either. Hooray!

THE THING WITH TWO HEADS:
This is my prize of the current batch o' posters...and is a poster I've wanted for years. THE THING WITH TWO HEADS is not a very good movie (and I just re-watched it a few months back)...but what a concept! Too fab! I love it and am thrilled to have such a cheesy, sleazy schlock film poster. Zowie!

ALPHA AND OMEGA (lenticular):
I didn't need this at all (In fact, I think I may already have one), but lenticular posters are so very groovy cool. Even for a movie that has already faded from most people's memories, I couldn't let this lenticular go. Hello? It was less than $20.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NXhC61SesAQ/XMOB9W_P2GI/AAAAAAAAQ-o/NMJDdgWOSLM-1O_cbw4pZOnQa5t9B_PqQCLcBGAs/s640/Alpha%2Band%2BOmega%2Blenticular.jpg)

BIRTH OF THE LIVING DEAD:
This and the poster below were "won" by placing bids on things and letting luck of the draw decide what I won and lost. Neither of these things I needed desperately...and the ones I really wanted were (of course) snatched from my hands. Oh well. I might have this already, but wasn't sure (and didn't have time to check when I was placing bids). But as a documentary on George Romero's classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, I thought it might be a fun addition to my collection.

CALENDAR GIRLS:
Here is something else I might already have a copy of...and I didn't really need, but... I do like the quasi-trompe l'oeil aesthetic of the poster with the calendar seemingly popping off the flat surface of the poster. Never saw the flick...but am guessing it is/was an early adult flick? It seems to be a "lost" film. Hmm.

LOVE ME DEADLY (Spain):
This is NOT the most interesting of posters ever/. In fact it is boring, actually. But it is the ONLY paper I have ever seen for this weird title, LOVE ME DEADLY. This movie, if you never heard of it, hails from the 1970s and is about necrophilia (!!!!), long before NECROMANTIK or even THE CORPSE BRIDE were even thought of. It co-stars Lyle Waggoner from TV's WONDER WOMAN and Christopher Stone of THE HOWLING. I've only seen the movie once---and it wasn't that great. It could use a remake---but who is gonna tackle a subject like this? Ha! I think the girl in the flick was not only obsessed with corpses, but specifically corpses that reminded her of her father---taking this flick into another whole realm of weirdness (Incestuous necrophilia fantasy? WTF!?!). Freaky.

Monster is back! Thank goodness! I've missed you! No wonder we didn't hear from you: Calendar Girls (European Style)! Every night all-out chicks (not sure that you can even ask someone if they are an "all-out chick"?) ! You naughty Monster! Glad you are back!
Okie

Good stuff there, Gogo. Always a fun read thumbsup.gif
Oh, and necrophilia to boot. Good times!!!

Welcome back! Believe it or not, I have another Shock-O-Rama Poster Show ready to share with you already...just days after posting the last one. It is not the most exciting batch ever, but there are a few trinkets you may like.
But first...
OKIE: Wow.... you noticed my absence? I'm glad you are glad I am back and thrilled that at least CALENDAR GIRLS caught your eye (or caught your something...). Thanks for the note.
THIERRY: I am glad you enjoyed my last post. Yes, bonus necrophilia, too. I am a former teacher and I do try to educate those out there who never dreamed such weirdness existed. (EEW). Ha! CHEERS! Thank you for the visit.
STEVE: You LIVE!! It has been ages since I've seen you around. How are you? I'm glad you liked those two posters. There's another in today's post placed here specifically with YOU in mind. Can you figure out which one? Hint--is this your life story? Just teasing, of course. So good to see you here. CHEERS!
Okay... Grab your popcorn, your Coke and your hot dog and make your way to your seat. The show is about to begin...

THE LAST WAVE (BLACK RAIN re-release?):
I always meant to see THE LAST WAVE, but I always had the feeling I would be bored by it and feel ripped off after all of the "It will scare the hell out of you" hype. This alternate title (re-release?) poster came to me in a lot. If anything, it re-awakened the interest in seeing the film. But will I follow through? Hmm...

IT'S NOT THE SIZE THAT COUNTS:
Vincent Price is in this? What??? Elke Sommer is as well, but she probably needed the work. This was also part of a lot purchase. If the film is called IT'S NOT THE SIZE THAT COUNTS, that implies it is about the size of the male lead's...personality. I wonder what his life was like AFTER the film. Did everyone just assume, based on the movie, he was diminutive in a certain area? (That is, of course, assuming anyone saw the movie). Ha!

THE BLACK CAT:
I already have (several) copies of this Lucio Fulci poster. It was also part of a lot purchase, but it's a Fulci...so hopefully there will be a resale value down the road (if i bother to list it myself on eBay or wherever),
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8y-XeBbptPE/XNG6asV6xVI/AAAAAAAAREc/k8Iq3zKEQAwf7P7oQEWa8bJAAumxLZaSwCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0016_NS09627_B%2Bbb.jpg)

THE SLASHER:
Another poster I already have...but one for a film I am curious about. Farley Granger and Sylva Koscina star. I've never seen it. To further add to the fascination with this flick, it was later re-released under the title "Penetration" with new porno inserts and other inserts. I haven't seen that either. But I wondered how Farley Granger felt being in a (SURPRISE!!!) porno flick. Ha!

MORTUARY:
There was, for whatever reason, a string of graveyard-themed flicks in the 80s. MAUSOLEUM, FUNERAL HOME and this one, MORTUARY. Surprisingly (I just realized) I have never seen any of them. I tracked down the MAUSOLEUM and FUNERAL HOME posters easily...but MORTUARY? It always eluded me...until i FINALLY snagged one. Now they just seem to land in my lap quite often. Ha! Yes, this is another lot purchase. (Don't worry...there are NON-lot purchases coming up as well...)

DEMON WITCH CHILD:
I LOVE my EXORCIST knock-offs. DEMON WITCH CHILD is no exception. I finally got a non-bootleg DVD to watch a few years back. The bootleg was such awful quality. Oddly, I have NOT watched the (hopefully better) DVD yet. Ha! I have purchased this poster several times. It is a dull poster. However, every time I'd buy one, there'd be some flaw with it I didn't like and I'd need to buy another. I have since gotten a good enough copy...but the posters keep coming my way. EEK! This was, of course, part of a lot purchase, too.

STAR WARS - THE LAST JEDI:
I know what you are thinking... Another lot purchase. Right? Right. Sorry. No, actually this was NOT a lot purchase. I do NOT know what I was thinking with this one. I'm always interested in picking up STAR WARS crap if it is cheap enough. I'm just not a fan. I couldn't tell you the names of any of the characters on this poster except those that appeared in the original trilogy (parts 4-6). It was going cheaply, so i bid on it....and then was outbid. I was online at the time (at work. Shh!), and got in a minor bidding war....and before I knew it, I paid way the @%#$& too much for this. UGH!!!!! I so thought I was over doing stupid things like that. Oh well.

PELVIS:
I have never seen this movie, but I love this idiotic poster...and have purchased it many times (I('m stupid that way). I know this film was later re-released as TOGA PARTY (after the success of ANIMAL HOUSE), but I never saw that either. The songs listed on the poster sound funny: "Nazi Lady", "All Dressed Up in Rubber with No Place to Go", and "If That Isn't Love It's Emphysema". (What!?! Ha!). The movie probably sucks---but the poster I find fun. Not to be confused with any person living, dead, or immortalized.

FANTASTIC VOYAGE:
I LOVE this cool old sci fi flick with Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch and Donald Pleasence. The sets in the body are amazing. Too bad the poster isn't nearly as cool as the movie. The poster is a snoozer (Zzzzz), Yet, for YEARS I have tried to snag one. I finally scored one. Hooray!

HEADLESS EYES and THE GHASTLY ONES (combo re-release):
I know this may not look like much (and really...there isn't much to look at here. Ha!), but to me, this is my prize this batch. I've also been trying to snag this for years. I've never seen THE HEADLESS EYES, but the co-feature THE GHASTLY ONES is why I am interested in this poster. THE GHASTLY ONES is a trash epic by Andy Milligan. Milligan was a low-budget (no budget) auteur (more like auturd) who made a string of nudie films (like THE FILTHY FIVE, GUTTER TRASH, THE PROMISCUOUS SEX, FLESHPOT ON 42ND STREET, etc.), most of which are lost, as the producer (the notoriously cheap William Mishkin) melted all of the prints down for their silver value. Milligan is also notorious for his craptastic horror epics such as THE RATS ARE COMING THE WEREWOLVES ARE HERE, BLOODTHIRSTY BUTCHERS, TORTURE DUNGEON, etc. His films truly are dreadful and hard to watch (zzzzz), yet (especially the horror flicks) they were continuously re-released to drive ins and grindhouses for years. The best thing about them are the posters.(and I have a good many of them). This poster is not that fab...and GHASTLY ONES only takes up a small percentage of the poster, but I am thrilled to have one more Milligan piece in my collection. Hooray!

Okay gang. That's it today. Be sure to hang your speakers up before you head home. Check back in a few days as our next presentation is being readied now. Thank you for visiting.

I also dig headless/ghastly eyes. Is it smaller than a one sheet?

Step right up, ladies and gents. Step right up and be prepared to see the most shocking cavalcade of perversions and horror ever seen. Can your heart stand such endless terror? Can your mind tolerate a non-stop assault on the senses? This is not for the faint at heart, the feeble minded or those who are sexually inexperienced. Be prepared to go beyond the limits of your imagination and beyond the limits of taste or morality. Get ready to experience the impossible and the unimaginable.
Don't I wish. Actually, it's just another so-so edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. But take a look-see if you like. It's cheap (FREE) and you might see something you've never seen before. (That's doubtful, but we can all hope. Right?)
Crazy Vick: What a delight to see you here. It has been a long while. I'm glad you found the HEADLESS EYES/GHASTLY ONES groovy. According to the auction site, it IS a regular 27x41 poster. (I have NOT received it yet...) Thanks for visiting.
Okay, the show is starting. But before we dim the lights and begin, let me remind you that there are no refunds. View at your own risk!
BEYOND EROTICA:
This was in a lot purchase. I wasn't even going to bother posting it...and then I looked at it more closely. David Hemmings and Alida Valli are in this? And it's rated R? The climax is only the beginning---clever tag line...but what is BEYOND EROTICA? Hmm. Lame poster though.

THE HUNTED:
I am guessing that this flick isn't that good. I've never heard of it--and I'm old(-ish). If it were some great flick, i'm sure it would have been picked up on my radar at some point... but it hasn't. But the poster makes it look like it should be good. It's a lot purchase. And while it's not a great poster, it's interesting. It got me wondering about the flick...I did find it's alternate title is TOUCH ME NOT and it was from 1974...but even though it has a 5.6 rating on IMDB, there are no reviews for it. Hmm.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g6cTOX1n_PU/XNJsfzY_x6I/AAAAAAAARGY/jWkXrVi9blUL4z5H0ZoMgfMICmQVaRSngCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0008_NS09627_B%2Bbb.jpg)

SCORE:
I've seen this poster (which is as dull as they come) sell for quite a decent amount of money (and i have no idea why). So I was super surprised when I spotted this in my lot purchase. I think i may have purchased this on DVD a long while back...but I haven't bothered with it yet. It just doesn't look that interesting.But what do I know?

TERROR AT RED WOLF INN:
I think I may have this already--but I'm not sure. But if I do have one already, what the heck? No big deal. I could swear I have seen this flick... After reading the description on IMDB, scenes are flashing in my head. But where would I have seen this? Hmm.

TORSO:
I remember when this came out. I wanted to see it so bad. Of course, to my little 9 year old mind at the time, I thought it was going to be utterly gruesome. It's a 1973 Euro film but was released here in September 1974 (according to IMDB). TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE came out a month later. The success of TCM probably helped TORSO's business. (In my memory, TORSO came out AFTER TCM....and that may be the case in my home town. Back then, movies were not all released nationwide at the same time. They played an area for a while, then moved to another area and played there, before moving on again.) I've still never seen the flick. The poster is just a cheap photo collage. The saw and the tagline with the word psychosexual were probably enough to get 1974 audiences in. Oh well. i'm not dead yet. Maybe I'll see it some day.

THE CREATURES/FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE/THE CREATURES FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE:
I thought this title was a little fishy. I wasn't sure if I had this poster already or not. But the cast looked familiar and, yep...THE CREATURES and FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE are the same movie. It has even been issued as THE CREATURES FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE according to IMDB. Not a great poster--but okay-ish. Whatever...

NEW HOUSE ON THE LEFT / NIGHT TRAIN MURDERS/LAST STOP ON THE NIGHT TRAIN/LAST HOUSE - PART II/SECOND HOUSE ON THE LEFT/CHRISTMAS MASSACRE:
I love the fact that the US distributors tried to pawn this off on the public as a sequel to LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. In fact, it was released with several different titles to make it seem like a sequel (LAST HOUSE - PART II and SECOND HOUSE ON THE LEFT). The movie IS a ripoff of LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, but it takes place on a train---not in a house. I love how the poster makes it appear as if the girl is in a chair near the living room window, when she is actually on a train seat. Nothing shown in the window is ever in the movie. Still, LAST STOP ON THE NIGHT TRAIN is a gritty little movie on its own--despite being a LAST HOUSE knock off.

KEEP MY GRAVE OPEN:
S.F. Brownrigg made a string of regional films back in the 70s that were almost good. Of the four flicks he is known (DON'T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT, DON'T OPEN THE DOOR, SCUM OF THE EARTH and KEEP MY GRAVE OPEN), I prefer SCUM OF THE EARTH. That flick was later re-titled POOR WHITE TRASH 2 and features the only filmed "okie blow" (blowing snot out of your nose onto the ground) I've ever seen on film. There are no okie blows in KEEP MY GRAVE OPEN---but it might have helped. The film is about a woman who lives in a run down old mansion somewhere in Texas and who may or may not be crazy. It starts off well, but falls apart by the end. Still, it is a shame that Brownrigg didn't make more films. There really is promise in his low-rent thrillers from the 70s. He made one silly comedy in the mid-80s and that was it. He died in the mid-90s at age 58.

HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW:
I've seen the remake, but never the original...which is odd because it seemed like I was always at the movies in the 80s...and yet somehow I missed a lot of the lower-tiered 80s slasher classics. Any good? Worth the bother?

CORPSE EATERS:
I love this poster even though the film (which is super hard to track down) is kind of a dud. I have a coupe of copies of it already, but why not one more? The amazing thing about this poster is that there seem to be a lot of them floating around out there...and yet the film never really had much of a theatrical run. Why were so many posters made? I'm just glad I got to see the flick and have a few of these cool beauties myself. Are there any other post-NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD/pre-DAWN OF THE DEAD zombie flicks I still need posters for? Hmm...

Okay--that was short and not too filling. Do you still have room for more cheese and sleaze? Stay tuned because another installment of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is coming VERY soon. BEWARE!!!

This is great. I've never heard of any of these movies, so I feel I am being entertained and schooled at the same time. Where do you find this stuff and how do you know it even exists? Have you seen these movies or you just go down a horror list?

Seconded. Have you seen any/all of these? If any of them are good I'm always looking for new recommendations for my Halloween horror extravaganza....

Welcome back to yet another cheap edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. It's a sleaze & schlock bonanza day, as we display posters for films that played over and over in drive-ins and grindhouses across the country in the '70's and '80's. As you look for a seat that isn't broken or too badly worn, be sure to look out for casually discarded syringes. Try not to pay too much attention to the sticky residue on the floors or the mystery stains that may be on your seat's fabric. Be sure to visit out snack bar where we are having a big sale on Hershey's Bar None chocolate bars. I know they've been out of production since 1993, but we recently found boxes of them in out basement.
THIERRY: Welcome back. Where do I find these posters? Same places you find yours; eMovieposter, Heritage, eBay, other auctions here and there. Have I seen the movies? A good chunk of them, I have (including LOVE ME DEADLY, the one about necrophilia you mentioned last time you stopped by). I'm glad you find these posters at least interesting... Cheers!
MATT: Wow...an even rarer visitor to my lowly page. Welcome. Recommendations? Hmm. There's nothing really SUPER FAB that you must see, certainly nothing spooky for Halloween. Of my recent posts since I've been back from my trip, I'd say PIECES (below) or LAST STOP ON THE NIGHT TRAIN (NEW HOUSE ON THE LEFT) would be the most interesting. But for Halloween? Hmm. I don't know. To answer your other question, as I just told T, I have not seen all of the movies for the posters I've collected, but I HAVE seen the majority of them.In this post, I've seen everything but WICKER MAN and HAUNTED. Thanks for your visit.
And now, sit back and relax and let your eyes get used to the dim light. The show is about to begin...

SWEET SIXTEEN:
I saw this flick with it's cast of Hollywood stars on their way down, down, down. Bo Hopkins, Susan Strasberg, Patrick Macnee, Don Stroud, Larry Storch, Michael Pataki, and Sharon Farrell are all in it, as is the female lead from "Friday the 13th Part 3 3D", Dana Kimmell. Despite the cast, the movie was b-o-r-i-n-g. I saw this in the theater---and back then you didn't walk out of a movie. Snore. Another 80's flick from the lower tier of slasher films and part of a lot purchase.

CARNIVAL MAGIC:
What is this doing in the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show? A story of a magician (who really can read minds and levitate objects) and his talking monkey sounds like a kids flick...and it may be that. But it is from the demented mind of Al Adamson (the man responsible for HORROR OF THE BLOOD MONSTERS, BLOOD OF GHASTLY HORROR, DRACULA VS FRANKENSTEIN and many others). Weird trash that has to be seen to be believed. And it IS trash--most would find awful but other would find gleefully wonderful.

ELIMINATORS:
When this film came out in the VHS era and I saw it on display, the first thing that came to mind was that it was a film about a rag-tag team that battled constipation. I don't know why, but it did. Of course, I realized it had nothing to do with that. But in my silly mind it did. Ha! Too this day, I still think of that when I see this. The TERMINATOR rip-off character MANDROID had his own movie as well, if I am not mistaken.

PRANKS/ THE DORM THAT DRIPPED BLOOD:
I remember reading about this in the pages of Fangoria when it was still going to be called PRANKS. Similar (but different?) artwork for the film graced the cover of that particular issue, as I recall. Aha! I found it online. Here it is:
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ucUW3h6PNLU/XNOg_BMhbeI/AAAAAAAARKo/aKckrUTQ5mwXt7AXOEA8Xzd0zrrM0RttwCLcBGAs/s320/Fang%2Bcover.jpg)
Anyway, the film sounded cool and I kept waiting and waiting and WAITING for it to come out. It never did (in my town anyway). I'm not entirely sure but I think the film was re-titled before it was released as THE DORM THAT DRIPPED BLOOD and all of these PRANKS posters got scrapped (which may account for them being so plentiful). I missed THE DORM THAT DRIPPED BLOOD in the '80's, but caught it on disk not long back. I really had NOT missed anything back in the '80's after all. Oh well. (Another lot purchase item).

THE WICKER MAN (re-release):
I know this film is highly regarded, but I do not think I've ever properly seen it (or the remake). For some reason the poster usually fetches a nice price---even the re-release usually goes for more than i would pay for a re-release. Hmm. I think I did rent it back in the VHS era....but watched it on fast forward mode, waiting for something interesting to happen. (I was young...) Is it worth tracking down and watching?

HAUNTED:
Another lot purchase. I have this poster...but I like it, so do not mind another. I have always wanted to see this, but I am sure it is crap. I may have seen it in the VHS era, but think i might be confusing it with something called HAUNTS from the same era. Whichever I saw was CRAP---but I do NOT remember a phone booth in the cemetery. Hmm. Just found a copy on eBay and ordered it. I'll probably never get around to watching it though. Ha!

BEYOND THE DOOR 2 / SHOCK:
I remember when this came out. Oh man, I wanted to see it. I love EXORCIST knockoffs. At this point I had NOT see THE EXORCIST or the first BEYOND THE DOOR ---but I knew what they were about. BEYOND THE DOOR 2 was billed as more of the same. Zowie! I had to see it. The ad in the newspaper also made me desperately want the one sheet. The only trouble is, the newspaper ad and the one sheet are different.
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HgFBM6pQYdU/XNO8WlhGbOI/AAAAAAAARK0/aJfuY1oyfkcI17ad0mwHcmQ65FEgIMcWQCLcBGAs/s320/Beyond-the-Door-II-shock-movie-4.jpg)
I just thought there were two versions of the one sheet and I kept looking, and looking and looking. No deal. There's just the one. The one sheet is okay, but I like the creepiness of the boy becoming possessed in the newspaper ad better.
BEYOND THE DOOR 2 is a sequel in name only. It is actually a re-titling of Mario Bava's last film, SHOCK. After BEYOND THE DOOR was a big hit, Film Ventures International were hot to release a follow up. Since this film and BEYOND THE DOOR both featured the same child actor (David Colin Jr), why NOT say it is a sequel?

NECROPOLIS:
I dig this poster but as I recall the movie (which I also saw back in the VHS days), the movie is rather weak. Still it has a great title and a poster with a sexy motorcycle girl AND zombies can't be all bad. Right?

EYE OF THE EVIL DEAD:
No relation to the Sam Raimi EVIL DEAD series, this bizarre mess (but it's still kind of interesting) is a product of Lucio Fulci, the man behind ZOMBIE and GATES OF HELL.

PIECES:
I already have a copy or two of this poster. There is one hanging up in my bedroom, actually. REALLY! This is a grindhouse mainstay. This has it all---blood, gore, horrible dubbing, a whodunit, bad acting, nudity, and a decent B-movie cast featuring Christopher George as the cop on the case, Linda Day George as the former tennis star turned undercover cop, Edmund Purdon as the university dean and Paul Smith as the campus groundskeeper. Sleazy cheezy 80's Euro-horror goodness!

Okay---that's it for today. Nothing to fabulous....just fun, old grindhouse fare. Mmm Mmm! I love me some good, old fashion horror and exploitation. Okay. You can unstick yourself from the floor now. Have a nice evening and I'll see you next time.

RUN while you still can. NOW! I'm NOT kidding. While I hoped to pick up a few auctions wins over the last few days, I have found I have lost everything I've bid on. That is no big deal, really...except I was hoping any newly one poster would disguise or pull focus away from the bottom-of-the-barrel dreck I was including. Lots are designed to get rid of the trash by adding them to some semi-interesting but nothing-really-great posters as an enticement. Oh, there are always those lots that contain posters you will never post in a zillion years ("Nureyev's Don Quixote" or "Musical Passage" or "The Other Side of the Mountain Part 2", etc. any one?). My most recent lot and other lots before that have left me with dozens of posters I will never bother to share. Instead of waiting for better posters to come my way, I wanted to dispose of, er... post those few posters that are even slightly interesting. In lieu of the hoped for better posters, I've had to break into the lot purchase closet of shame to round out the posting. So, instead of pulling out the super snore-inducing "Lovers and Other Strangers" or "Visit To A Chief's Son" or "Trenchcoat", I've gone for the out and out laughable worst of the worst. You have been WARNED!!!!

FORCED ENTRY:
From 1975, future CHARLIE'S ANGEL and BOND Girl Tanya Roberts stars alongside a pre-CARRIE Nancy Allen in what apparently is a 2-years later remake of a 1973 porn "roughie" of the same name that starred Harry Reems (acting under a different name). From what I've read on IMDB, the results were awful. Tanya Roberts' career has always boggled my mind. I never thought she was all that good as an actress, and yet she keep moving up the ladder from low-budget crap like this (and the wonderful TOURIST TRAP) to being an Angel and Bond girl.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK:
Ugh. Yes, I hang my head in shame and freely admit that I own this poster. Ha! It was in a lot purchase a long while back. Did anyone ever actually see this flick? I sure never did. I remember when it came out, though. I was already over the whole Gary Coleman thang. Why bother seeing him at the movies when you could watch him on DIFF'RENT STROKES every week on TV for free?

HEIDI'S SONG:
If you though ON THE RIGHT TRACK was awful... O' the horror! It's HEIDI'S SONG? Lorne Greene was apparently one of the voice actors. Eek! I can't imagine him in a MUSICAL? (This IS a musical, right? It sounds painful...)

ZAPPED:
Yes, I am the lucky owner of the poster for the Scott Baio/Willie Aames comedy ZAPPED. I know you are all jealous. Just get over it. (Although, alas... I do NOT have the one sheet for the I'm-sure-you've-forgotten sequel, ZAPPED AGAIN. Oh well, there'll be other lots in my future, I'm sure. Maybe I'll get (un)lucky again???

BOOGIE VISION:
I have this on DVD (Believe it or not, it was issued on a triple-feature disk Media Blasters put out several years ago that I still have not bothered to watch yet)...but really? Did I need the poster, too? Actually I already HAVE another copy (from another previously purchased lot, no doubt). According to IMDB, it's about a struggling filmmaker who learns his girlfriend's father is a movie producer. He throws together a bad sci-fi flick in 3 days to give to the producer---only he doesn't realize the producer is an adult film producer. Hilarity ensues (or is supposed to, I'm sure). Whatever...

HOT AND DEADLY:
This looks like some sort of horror movie or some sort of I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE revenge flick at the very least. Apparently (IMDB again), this film is about a guy (not a girl, as featured on the poster) who gets recruited to be some sort of assassin...but he won't kill. So he becomes the target. I'd rather it was an I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE knock-off. Oh well...

MAN FROM DEEP RIVER:
Also known as SACRIFICE, this is the Umberto Lenzi flick that started the whole cannibal subgenre in the 70s. I have a copy or two of this poster, plus a better, full-color version with additional art work. This film is rather cannibal-light, but it did usher in the hard-to-watch gorier CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST and MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY among others.

MUTANT:
This is a fun (well... more like okay) little monster movie with a terrible one sheet. Wanna be action star WINGS HAUSER (who? He's still working...so be kind) stars alongside Bo Hopkins and a grownup Lee Harcourt Montgomery (from BEN, BURNT OFFERINGS and THE MILLION DOLLAR DUCK).

THE ALCHEMIST:
It's another benign Charles Band flick (But Band is hiding under an alias as he sits in the directors chair. Hmm. I guess he didn't have much faith in the final product? The poster could have been better...)

CRITTERS:
Speaking of posters that could have/should have been better, I give you CRITTERS. CRITTERS was a popular low-budget hit about these small large-mouthed aliens that come to Earth...to eat us! Followed by several sequels as well as a new (2019) sequel movie https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10240612/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_6 (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10240612/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_6) and TV series https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8026466/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_4 (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8026466/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_4), the poster for the film that started it all is a loser. It could have been so much better. Oh well...it is what it is.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! If you made it this far, you've survived what was possibly/probably the lamest post ever! Phew! I know it was touch and go there for a while. But you made it through. You deserve a l-o-n-g smoke break after that (Even if you are not a smoker!) I'm kidding (and DON'T smoke). I was just trying to figure out a way to work in this FLINTSTONES gif of Fred and Wilma puffing away. SHOCKING! But--go! You are free! You deserve a gold star for reaching this point. Hooray!

MATT: Wow...an even rarer visitor to my lowly page. Welcome. Recommendations? Hmm. There's nothing really SUPER FAB that you must see, certainly nothing spooky for Halloween. Of my recent posts since I've been back from my trip, I'd say PIECES (below) or LAST STOP ON THE NIGHT TRAIN (NEW HOUSE ON THE LEFT) would be the most interesting. But for Halloween? Hmm. I don't know. To answer your other question, as I just told T, I have not seen all of the movies for the posters I've collected, but I HAVE seen the majority of them.In this post, I've seen everything but WICKER MAN and HAUNTED. Thanks for your visit.

Just because I haven't been commenting much lately doesn't mean I don't pop by this thread -- I always enjoy your write ups thumbsup.gif
I've been meaning to check out Pieces. I'll add that to my list this year. You should definitely check out Wicker Man (not the Cage version!). It's a trip. Try to find the 94 min 'Final Cut' version. Unfortunately the 88 min 'theatrical cut' is the one most commonly found on streaming sources -- that one's a bit of a mess.

Welcome back. Just when I thought I wouldn't have another post until June at the earliest, I'm B-A-C-K with another one in May...with only days to spare! While certainly better than my last post (which was just filled with CRAP), this one is still not the most exciting of posts---but there are a few choice nuggets to be found (if you DARE to scroll down).
But first...
MATT: Okay. I've taken your word for it and ordered THE WICKER MAN (Director's cut) on DVD. I'll give it a watch one of these days. Thanks for the advice and visit! I hope PIECES works out for you. Cheers!

DOCTOR DEATH:
This is a no-big-deal poster that is easy to find and not very exciting. Why bother? Believe it or not, even though I have thousands of posters [most of them crap], I don’t think I had this poster yet. I’ve never seen the film and it probably is a turd....but it’s a vintage [70s] horror flick, so you have to give it some points. It was cheap—-and the seller who I bought several other things from was offering it—so why not?

HEAVY METAL:
I remember when this came out—and I did see it back in the day in the theater. I remember that it was being touted as the ultimate cult film based on a [then] popular magazine [Is it still around?] of the same name. It was okay but I think a lot of people were disappointed. All I really remember is that it was an anthology of sorts...but that’s it. Why buy the poster? It was cheap (which is beginning to sound like it should be my middle name... and why not?

HORROR ON SNAPE ISLAND:
I already have one of these. It’s not a great poster [and certainly is NOT a great movie], but it is colorful and has some interesting stuff going on within it. I mean, who doesn't dig a head bouncing down a staircase? Zowie! I remember when this film was re-released during or just after high school. They were calling it BEYOND THE FOG, trying to cash in on the success of John Carpenter’s THE FOG. It’s a British flick and stars Robin Askwith, the star of those dreadful CONFESSIONS OF... [CONFESSIONS OF A WINDOW CLEANER, for example] sex comedies of the 1970s.

TERROR OF THE TONGS:
I already have one of these and normally would not bother buying another. However, my original copy has some pink crayon [or something] on it that I had not noticed before buying it. Although I know I’ll never bother displaying it, I obviously needed an inexpensive replacement for the soiled first poster.

THE TOUCH OF SATAN:
I already have one of these posters, I think. I bid big and snagged this...relatively cheaply. And then, of course, I noticed the snipe on the ratings box AFTER I bid (it was not in the description. Grrr.) Why did I want this so badly? If I did not have one, I needed one as this may be the movie that got me started on my love of horror films.Originally released in 1972 as A TOUCH OF MELISSA, this 1974 re-release was obviously trying to cash in on the EXORCIST craze. I'd have gone for A TOUCH OF MELISSA one sheet...as, if this is the movie I am thinking about, the MELISSA release would have been the flick I am remembering. No---wait a minute. That CAN'T be right. Whatever the movie was had to have been from 1971 or maybe 1970. I never saw the flick, but I remember distinctly as a kid watching TV and a commercial came on advertising some horror flick. My mom wanted me to close my eyes...but I peeked! I was fascinated by this movie being advertised that looked so scary. I don't remember much---other than it took place in a rural setting. But it would have to have been pre-1972 as we moved just before Christmas 1971. Hmm. Another mystery opens for me. What film was it? What poster do I need now? Ha!

SCUM OF THE EARTH:
I may have this already, but I do not believe I do. For the longest time these were so easily found, too. SCUM OF THE EARTH is a flick by SF Brownrigg (The regional filmmaker responsible for DON'T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT and KEEP MY GRAVE OPEN). Not a horror flick, but it has horror elements. It also feels like a filmed stage play in a lot of ways. It is interesting that the distributors splattered "See the real poor white trash" all over the poster, because it was later bought and re-packaged as "Poor White Trash 2" (a bogus, in-name-only sequel to "Poor White Trash", which was actually a slightly re-edited re-titling of BAYOU). It is more or less what you think it is. It may also be the first-ever movie with a filmed "okie blow" scene.

STEP DOWN TO TERROR:
I have no idea what this flick is---STEP DOWN TO TERROR? Never heard of it!--but I found the artwork wonderful, albeit very old school. It went fairly cheaply, so I couldn't pass it up.

THE BRIDES OF DRACULA [French]:
A few years ago, I scored the poster for the French release of CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF with art by Guy Gerard Noel. Although this is not by Noel, it is similar in style and is by Joseph Koutachy. I paid too much for it, but whatever.

TAXI DRIVER:
Although I have yet to see the movie [Shocking true confession—I know], I do have the blu-ray and will give it a watch soon. Even though I’ve not seen the film just yet, I have noticed the one sheet selling very well over the years. This one may not be pristine, but its flaws I can live with. I was thrilled to get this, even though I paid more than I wanted to for it. It seemed like a fairly decent bargain. (That is, if it is a legit copy. You never know...)

HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER:
This, to me, is the prize of the batch. Speaking of paying too much, that’s what I did to get this. But it seems to be in great condition. Who hoo! Another 50’s/60’s horror title snagged.

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! Yep, be they what they are, here are my 10 newest movie poster purchases (to add to the thousands of other posters I have tucked away and never see...). They may not be much (Are they ever?), but I think you'll find some gems in this batch. Take a gander....if you DARE!
And now...(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C5LI8j4b_Uw/XP9eG-OWxNI/AAAAAAAARS8/g06Dk6POp3QLpfdb0hmhG-biZXOWLHa0ACEwYBhgL/s320/Y0ow.gif)
FIGHTING THE RACKETEERS and CRIMINALS OF THE UNDERWORLD (aka BIG TOWN CZAR and EYES OF THE UNDERWORLD re-release combo):
I have no idea what either of these movies is about or anything about them, but I loved the old double bill poster with old school layout. It was cheap. Why not?

HOW TO BE A LATIN LOVER:
I've not seen this flick, but I wanted to. It looked fun. Aside from that, as far removed from her pinup days as she is, I've been slowly trying to collect Raquel Welch posters over the last decade or so. It's been slow going. I've already got my prize---Fantastic Voyage (as dull of a poster as it is), but I have many more to go-go before I finish my collection.

ALL WOMEN ARE BAD:
I know nothing about this pre-porn "adult" motion picture for the raincoat crowd. I got it because the title, "ALL WOMEN ARE BAD", instantly put the song of the same title by THE CRAMPS in my head. "They got groovy, wiggly tails. They got horns on their head. All women are bad. All women are bad." Any one? Any one? Okay. Never mind...

HELLFEST (advance):
I already have a copy (several, actually) of this poster--and the final release version. Why another one? I thought the movie was good and I think it may catch on with others over time, driving the price up. I got this for $5 or something like that. Too cheap to not get.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B7LO5Lv_Gbo/XQNHUxfjGnI/AAAAAAAARTw/K4uYSr8K7AsSh94PT3jBYJMcLK69io0IgCEwYBhgL/s640/Hellfest%2BAdv.jpg)

CRAWL (advance):
I'm a sucker for JAWS movies and JAWS ripoffs. This looks like a fun (i.e. stupid in a hilarious way) ripoff, about some people trapped in a cellar of a house in Florida during a Category 5 hurricane with a giant alligator(s?) in the basement with them. Merriment and carnage ensue. Why is it called "Crawl" though? Alligators don't "crawl", do they? Hmm.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 3D:
I have one already, but I decided to pick up another copy of the NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 3D poster because you just do NOT see them anywhere really. I know the remake was a limited release. (I got to see it--although it was not that good.) I'm guessing the poster run was limited as well.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wEJtIg_X6gE/XQNHVbPxAoI/AAAAAAAART4/PKh4jNx-Zpc7E3kb4BC3U9ekdXoF3eCowCEwYBhgL/s640/Night%2Bof%2Bthe%2BLiving%2BDead%2B3D.jpg)

EYEBALL:
I already have a copy of this. What I need is a copy of the alternate style of poster for this flick, the one with the grim reaper like guy holding a bikini-clad girl in one arm and holding out her eyeball in the other. Those always escape my grasp. This one was cheap, so again...why not?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CQgliSkEY-k/XP9c1uk-cMI/AAAAAAAARSc/19PTI__kus8LGXSc2zObbpRbsTk9NOD9gCEwYBhgL/s640/Eyeball%2BB%2Bversion.jpg)

ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES (French small):
I already have the small French PLANET OF THE APES and BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES. Now I have the third title for my collection, ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES. Oo la la! I may stop this collection here though. The French poster for CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is snore-a-rama BORING and the one for the 5th flick, BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES, looks almost like the US one sheet---which I already have a couple of copies of. I'm glad to have this, although it is not the most exciting of posters.

I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF:
Awesomeness! At last, I have one. I have been wanting one of these for ages, especially after I picked up my I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN poster not too long back. I loved this movie as a kid when it would play on TV occasionally on Saturday mornings. It's a good thing Michael Landon got over his hairy affliction so he could star in BONANZA and LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRARIE. I should give this a re-watch as an adult and see if it is still fun.

THE UNDEAD:
Ooooo! This is my prize of the post. Even though I have never seen this movie, I have wanted one of these for DECADES! I just dig the artwork by Albert Callis. I am beyond thrilled that this is now mine, Mine, MINE!!!! Whoo hoo! This WILL be framed and hung.

Hi Monster!
Probably like most teenage guys at the time, I thought Adrienne Barbeau was a gift from God. Her first interview with Johnny Carson: oh that 1973 dress! Wow! I've always thought back then, though, she and Gabriel Kaplan may have had the same hair dresser. Anyway, Barbeau at age 74 is still quite lovely. Scream!
"Ripped from the files of Ed Sullivan"?! Who needs diabetes: ax murder your own giant kidney!
Man, Quint's story in Jaws about the sinking of the Indianapolis is the best scene in the movie for me. That scene has held up well over time, too. When it comes to Latin Lovers, Raquel Welch gets my vote for Quint test of time story! How does she do it, Monster?!
Walking dead, living dead, eyeball, hell fest, undead, apes. Dang monster, you made me tear up: I miss Charlie Heston, too!
All women are bad? Does that GIF girl have a Coppertone tan? I think her drawers are missing? Bad, bad, Monster!
Bridge on the River Kwai, 3:10 to Yuma, 12 Angry Men, 20 Million Miles to Earth, An Affair to Remember, Designing Woman, Desk Set, A Face in the Crowd, Funny Face, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Invasion of the Saucer Men, Love in the Afternoon,
Old Yeller, Raintree Country, Sayonara, The Three Faces of Eve,
What's Opera, Doc?, Witness for the Prosecution. Which of these films is "The Most Amazing Picture of Our Time" circa 1957? Surely one of these movies, right? Wrong! The title goes to Michael Landon and I Was a Teenage Werewolf! Thank you drive-in movie gods! Cool poster, Monster!
Okie

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. Here are 10 new (to me) posters for your perusal / approval...just in time for the 4th of July (barely).
But first...
Okie: Zowie! That was one long rambling comment. Ha! You are amazing, working EVERYTHING together. I hope the poster gods smile on you often.
Happy Independence Day!

HOW TO FRAME A FIGG:
Amazingly, this is the only (??) one of Don Knotts' '60s flicks I have not seen yet. But I have several of the posters for the other titles and eventually I'll see this one too. Besides, it also co-stars Yvonne "Batgirl" Craig! Wait...do I already have this poster? Hmm.

ALPHA:
I liked this movie and the poster was inexpensive...$4...so why not?

THE MANIAC:
I paid way, way, WAY too much for this...and I already have one. GRR! It was something I was adding to help pad out the steep $25 shipping fee to go with another poster I intended to win--but did not. OOPS!
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gNsdaITMjHU/XRVQvAngJAI/AAAAAAAARWA/zIF7vmxsVvQuu7ptdUwGX5NVHNJN1YV_gCLcBGAs/s640/The%2BManiac.jpg)

PRIMEVAL:
I had never heard of this movie about "the most prolific serial killer in history"...or so I thought. The poster was pretty dang gruesome though. Why not get it? It wasn't that expensive. Imagine my surprise when I goggled it and found out it was about a giant crocodile. Ha! I HAVE seen that movie after all.

JOKER (Advance):
By now you know I am not a big fan of superheroes or super hero movies. UGH! But the previews for this arch villain origin movie make it actually look like it might be good. Hmm. The poster was not that pricey. Why not?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zI2HUGTqU4E/XR7X-FTgqSI/AAAAAAAARYQ/mhi4Sw6R9aYjcFIvLMvZx-0_JGWOJZaOgCLcBGAs/s640/Joker%2Badv.jpg)

THE NIGHT THE WORLD EXPLODED:
I scored one of these a while back...but it turned out to be on linen. UGH! In fact, that other poster was the one I lost my linen virginity too. I'm NO fan of linen backing, so now I can happily dump that other copy. Hooray! I've never seen this flick. Is it any good?

PANIC IN THE YEAR ZERO:
I've never been a fan of Ray Milland. But this is one movie of his I like--despite his having starred in it...and directing it. This is a pretty nifty post-apocalyptic thriller (on the cheap) from the early 1960s. Not realistic, but still a good little thriller. I may have this poster already, but wasn't sure. This went for far cheaper than i thought it would...like only $20. Zowie!

GODZILLA KING OF THE MONSTER (India):
I saw this and did not like it. It was kind of a remake/ripoff of DESTROY ALL MONSTERS and CGI-ed to death. I miss the original Godzilla in the rubber suit, squashing miniatures, etc. I will see the heavily teased upcoming KING KONG VS GODZILLA, but I was not a fan of this flick. Oh well... I DID dig the art on this Indian poster. It is the same art as the bus shelter poster here, but not nearly as expensive. I'm fine with this copy, especially since I was no fan of the flick.

GHOST SHIP:
I know nothing about the 1943 RKO flick...except I've wanted it for quite some time. I'm hoping it's an early spooky flick as the title suggests. I was second place winner (aka LOSER) on one of these on one of HA's major auctions...and have been trying to get one ever since. This one cost me a pretty penny, but I believe it was cheaper when I got it than it would have been in one of the major auctions. Ha! Starring Richard Dix (Who?). (Isn't his name kind of redundant?) Cool artwork, baby!

THE INVISIBLE MAN'S REVENGE (3-sheet):
I don't like 3-sheets and this poster is not that interesting. (Zzzzz) However, it is classic Universal Horror, so I scooped it up (because I have very little of it). Last billed Gale Sondergaard was, as everyone probably knows by now, the first choice to play the Wicked Witch of the West in MGM's "Wizard of Oz" before Victor Fleming came on board and deemed her far too glamorous for the part.

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. This installment is shaping up to be a real cure for insomnia...so I hope you are reading this at bed time, or at least you have a pillow with you. As I write this, the first 4 posters are in place and even I am falling asleep. Zzzzz. Let's hope the remaining 6 to come will be far more entertaining. (Don't hold your breath...)
Okay, ready or not, let's get this edition going... I'll probably want to run and hide before the criticism of these current offerings gets too out of control and they start air bombing my butt. Yikes! (I don't know what that means either. I'm just trying to tie in the gif below...). Here we go-go...

CONFESSIONS OF A FEMALE MONK and I WAS A MALE CALL GIRL (Canadian one sheet):
I have seen this Canadian combo poster a few times, but have never been able to scoop one up until now. This Canadian double feature seems to feature re-titled movies, but I can't seem to find any information on just what CONFESSIONS OF A FEMALE MONK and/or I WAS A MALE CALL GIRL were originally called. There is certainly nothing on IMDB about them. Hmm. They are probably lame anyway. Oh well. The poster still has some fun verbiage ("When the girls called...'Big Boy' was available". Ha!) and graphics. Whatever...

SHAZAM:
If you've followed my poster buying habits at all, you would realize that I am NOT a fan of the modern super hero movies. So what is up with this SHAZAM poster? Well, believe it or not. I gave this one a shot...and I actually enjoyed it somewhat. It got a little bogged down and superhero heavy towards the end, but this flick had lots of fun and humor in it. It didn't take itself THAT seriously. And I really liked the idea of some 12/13-year-old kid suddenly finding himself in a musclebound grownup body (and getting to do all of those grownup things kids only dream of doing). Fun.

CONFESSIONS OF A FEMALE MONK and I WAS A MALE CALL GIRL (Canadian one sheet):
I know what you are thinking....that I've accidentally repeated myself. Right? Sort of--but not really. You see, I found another copy of the poster much cheaper than the price I paid for the earlier one. Oops! Sold!

ST. HELENS: KILLER VOLCANO (Australian daybill):
Normally I would not have bothered with an Australian daybill for an American TV movie. However, it's a disaster flick (and one I have NOT seen). I'd have preferred a one sheet. Was this any good? Not the best art work, but I dig my disaster flicks...especially those made before the current glut of direct to video/TV flicks of late that have been CGI-ed to death.

THE DEAD DON'T DIE:
The one sheet is not that interesting and the movie itself is kind of ho-hum. It does have an interesting cast, though.

Okay, it is intermission time. Grab someone to munch on and/or run to the bathroom. The last half is about to begin. (And let's hope it is better than the snore-inducing first half...)

The lights are dimming. Quick, get back to your seat...
DR. CYCLOPS (Military re-release):
Although it's not in the best condition and it is just a military re-release poster, I know I will never be able to afford an original DR. CYCLOPS one sheet. While not the best fantasy flick ever, it is interesting and was the forerunner to such things as "Attack of the Puppet People" and the "Dr. Shrinker" segment of "The Kroft Super Show" from TV back in the 1970s.

THE CATMAN OF PARIS and VALLEY OF THE ZOMBIES (re-release combo):
Speaking of re-releases for film posters I can't afford, here's a cheap-looking double feature re-release combo poster. I've not seen either film, but would like to. I'd also like their original release one sheets---but that's not gonna happen. Still, as cheap-looking as this combo poster is, there is something about its cheesiness and hastily slapped together look that appeals to me. (It may look cheap---but it wasn't that "cheap" to buy. Ha!)

BARRACUDA (French large format):
I love my JAWS ripoffs...for the most part. Although there were some stinkers ("Tentacles", "Tintorera", "Jaws of Death", etc.), there were some cheesy gems as well. "Barracuda" was NOT a winner, by any means. But something about it resonated with me. I have the US one sheet, some Italian posters (different art), ans a British quad combo (paired up with the original, pre-Tarantino and spelled correctly INGLORIOUS BASTARDS). I've known about this French poster for years---just never was able to get one. The artwork is downright awful,,,but still... Gotta have it. And ultimately I DID snag it. Hooray!

THE MOLE PEOPLE:
I have been after a MOLE PEOPLE poster since I came in 2nd place for one on a Heritage Auction a few years back. I vowed to myself that I would break down and buy this one if I didn't win any of the auctions I had bids on is a cluster of big poster auctions I had bids on this past weekend. Yep--I lost every single auction I bid on...and thus this one became mine. Ha! Classic 50's Universal horror--and co-starring Beaver Cleaver's dad and Batman's Alfred the butler. Zowie!

And that's it. Wait a minute, you say. That is only 9...and you usually have 10 posters per post. That is true. However, I have had some health issues of late (Nothing too serious---I HOPE!) and so I have re-evaluated some things and decided to (gasp!) STOP buying movie posters. This resolution may be short-lived. We will see. But as of now, THE MOLE PEOPLE is my last movie poster. (And that is certainly a fab-o-rama poster to sign off on.)
Thank you for visiting the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. Keep an eye out. It may be back (if I don't drop dead first). You never know when I'll unearth some of my older posters (purchased before the internet days) and share them or perhaps post a few things I've decided to send to auction. I may break down and go on a poster buying binge again. You never know.
Anyway, thank you for visiting. Now, it is time to go. QUICKLY!!!!

CHEERS!!!!

hope your health improves and one day you return to buying the odd poster. always liked your use of gifs ;D
-
Dang, Monster, I hope you feel better soon! I'll certainly take a closer look at your recent poster post, though I am mainly sending good mojo your way to better health. Are the weird things still happening at your house (e.g. weird things on your porch and random fence repairs)? Should we suspect your neighbors because you are not feeling well? You're too cool to feel bad! Do we need to fly to the left coast and kick somebody square in the butt for you? You are great, Monster! Feel better! Okie

Sorry to hear you're going through it old chap. I wish you a speedy recovery...or better still, nothing you have to recover from! I look forward to seeing more of you splendid collection in the very near future.

Hi there. I am B-A-C-K!!! No, there is nothing new to share with you. Instead, I thought I would show off some of the posters of mine (most of them more recent purchases) that I just framed and hung over the last few days. I also wanted to respond to the comments that were left here. So...
REDMAN: Thank you for leaving a note. I don't think you've visited my page before. I looked up your profile and happy (slightly belated) year anniversary with APF. I hope you've been enjoying yourself here. Thanks for the well wishes. I included gifs in this post (and I wasn't going to) just for you. Cheers!
OKIE:You are so very kind and completely AWESOME!!!! APF (and the entire poster community) is lucky to have a guy like you around. You are so nice (and have a pretty groovy collection of your own. WOW!). Thank you for always visiting and the well wishes.
NICK/MONOCLE: Oh my stars! How utterly delightful to see you on my page. It has been AGES. I wasn't even sure you were still around these days. Thank you for the comment and the well wishes. You truly are an "utter gent".
Now back to the posters. The photography is terrible (glares and reflections on the plexiglass and bad lighting), but I am excited about them...and certainly LOVE looking at them.
Speaking of looking at them, let's take a peek. Shall we?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_vUgp6Fe67E/XVEEI27DcKI/AAAAAAAARto/dtc-avimF7AeAY0yne5Kf-31YxSmZEfcACLcBGAs/s320/996d20f2253f88c96234d80c6af88d3b.gif)
THE MOLE PEOPLE: This is possibly the last poster I'll ever purchase --- and was the first poster I framed when I decided to do this. LOVE it!
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-73VyTV3dqNg/XVD7p5KLLCI/AAAAAAAARso/aX5e2X2cbfsv0sKrf2GdZB_LKoqvu_n6wCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_9722.jpeg)
THE UNDEAD: I love this poster and had been wanting it so long. I was planning on placing this somewhere near the poster for THE SCREAMING SKULL. However, I like the grouping THE SCREAMING SKULL is in, sandwiched between the posters for BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE and CURSE OF THE UNDEAD. Fortunately, I was able to find a suitable home for it...and not break up the trio on the one living room wall.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5HTFTSWxHRs/XVD7qBqzruI/AAAAAAAARsw/OYAxdhJQcwwHtJP7OEUwgV0KBTUKD9vKQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_9724.jpeg)
Here are the pair on the back wall of my living room. MOLE PEOPLE is replacing the Lon Chaney Jr poster for INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN. THE UNDEAD replaces the 1954 re-release of KING KONG (which moved down a spot, where THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN poster was). BLOOD OF DRACULA I framed a while back, but never hung. I pulled it out of the closet and it is replacing X THE MAN WITH X-RAY EYES.

I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF: I really like aspects of this poster. The hairy, clawed hand tearing bloody red tears into the image of a teenage werewolf terrorizing a young woman is great. It's almost as if the poster is being torn open and bleeding. Wow! But as a whole, I wish there was more in the poster to look at. Oh well. I had LONG sought this poster---and now it is mine, framed and up on my walls! Hooray!

I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN: I had a crazy hard time trying to dig this poster out of the pile of unopened posters. (Yes, I have not had time to mess with my posters, so for the last year or so...probably longer...I've just been stacking them up in their envelopes and packaging, unopened. Shocking, but TRUE!) I had given up hope of finding this when, earlier tonight, I decided to open the rest of the unopened parcels...and there it was. The odd thing about it was that I had purchased it in February of this year. It was postmarked (somehow) in January. How that was possible, I do not know. I'm just GLAD I came across it. I apologize for the reflection of my arms and phone. Oops!

And here are the I WAS A TEENAGE.... duo, on the wall of my living room between two windows (THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN and WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST graced the spot earlier).
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fl24DwbKhIE/XVD7qskAlGI/AAAAAAAARs4/rP4fcYTFSjMieWwvLpETiHTgkWxHlvzUgCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_9922.jpg)

THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN: I got this re-release poster last year some time, I believe (and it was already unwrapped, out of the envelope. Ha!). I have it hanging in my bedroom between the window and the bathroom. My military-style GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN (which, even though it is only a military style poster, I am thrilled to own) is also in my bedroom.

THE GHOST SHIP: This poster doesn't have super scary graphics or anything, but it does have that very old school look to it. I thought it would be a swell addition to the pre-1950s posters in my dining room. The poster is from 1943.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RH-v1jKEEXk/XVD7qpBR7sI/AAAAAAAARs0/5UNcNJSV7y41-AJz8vWFGt1tug2C4_ZrQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_9726.jpeg)
Here it is on my dining room wall. It replaces the poster for the Boris Karloff flick BEDLAM, but BEDLAM was only moved down a few spaces and it is occupying the place where THE UNKNOWN was hanging.

And that is it really. Nothing exciting...but something to tide me over until I ever decide to get back in the collecting game again. I really need to get back to sorting and storing my posters properly. My poster room is a disaster area. SOMEDAY I will get to it...
Thank you for visiting. Keep looking over your shoulder. You never know when I may sneak up on you and visit again.

CHEERS!

Excellent as ever. I'm going to have to backtrack over the posts I've missed and look up that 'The Man who cried wolf' poster. It looks intriguingly beautiful. Can't help feeling a little bit sad that 'The Ghost Ship' appears to feature no ghosts whatsoever. Probably why it wasn't called called 'The Ship with Ghosts on it'...
-
Frames, frames, and more great framed posters, Monster! What a treat to see your posters on display in tiki land! Oh man, I love your wall of dooooooommmmm!!! I really like the design on The Man Who Cried Wolf. A hearty sneaky tiki, tiki sneaky to you, Monster! Okie

Hi there! Welcome back. NO, I still have not purchased any posters (well...). However, I have framed a few more and have been busy, busy, BUSY hanging them. Except for the guest bedrooms, my house pretty much has all available walls occupied with movie paper. My closets are filled with framed posters and I have a zillion folded or rolled posters in boxes and / or tubes. I wish I had MORE walls!
A poster collector friend has frequently shared photos of the walls of his apartments. He has beautiful stuff. We have different tastes, obviously, but both dig having our posters on display. Mel (who used to have accounts here...first as DreadPirateMel and his most recent name i forget...HereComesMongo, maybe?) has always had a double row of posters on his walls. When he shared the photo below of his new apartment, I decided to use him for inspiration and double up on (most of) MY walls. Zowie!
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d0-3l4uNKng/XV4An5nWqNI/AAAAAAAARyY/QYct4ecyt2ALmZ6PpXpt-DfOjwzk8FCBACLcBGAs/s640/unnamed.jpg)
I've also been trying to properly store some posters in my flat file. I've been digging through boxes, envelopes and tubes of posters purchased over the years but (gasp!) never opened. My house is pretty torn up at the moment...but I also came across some poster treasures I had forgotten I had. Some of these I framed. (I do apologize for the bad lighting, glare and awkward angels--especially in the hallway.)
OOPS! Before we get to the posters, I must say hello to my recent visitors. Hello, gents...
monocle: What a rare treat to have yet another visit from you on my humble page. THE MAN WHO CRIED WOLF was originally posted a L-O-N-G time ago...and I didn't say much about it when I did post it. It's a FAVE of mine though. It will always be on display. Thanks for the visit.
Okie: You discovered my other secret passion---tiki! Yes, there were a few mugs on display on that buffet cabinet in my dining room. It is stuffed full of tiki mugs and other tiki stuff. No place to put it. Ha! Glad you liked the framed stuff. There's MORE to gawk at below. Thanks for the visit. Cheers!
Okay. It is POSTER TIME!!!
HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER: I've never seen this flick (although it is in my DVD pile and will be viewed very soon). I've heard many people refer to it as an unofficial follow up to I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF and I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN as the monster make ups for both are used in the film. I know Gary Conway (IWATF) is back....but someone else is filling in for Michael Landon. Anyway, as I was adding more posters to the walls, I thought I should group this with the TEENAGE duo. I dug X-THE MAN WITH X-RAY EYES out of the closet to finish off the space.

KISS OF THE VAMPIRE: Another flick I've never seen (???), but one with a gorgeous poster. I was looking for this one when I was framing stuff last time, but had not come across it yet. I opened it today---so into a frame it went. I didn't know where to put it. Maybe replace one of the trio behind the cabinet in the living room? I really like that grouping of BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE, SCREAMING SKULL and CURSE OF THE UNDEAD. But then I thought, if I move the chest down a bit (so it is centered beneath two of the posters instead of all three), I could add KISS OF THE VAMPIRE in. I thought about raising the SCREAMING SKULL and CURSE OF THE UNDEAD to be on the same level as BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE, but I think the gap between the bottom of the posters and the top of the chest will be too big. I may leave it like it is. Too weird--or do you think it will be okay??

The back wall of the living room had so much potential. There is no furniture against it, so i had no problem making a 4-poster wall into an 8-poster wall. I removed BLOOD OF DRACULA (for use elsewhere--you'll see it later) and pulled my MIGHTY JOE YOUNG re-release, INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN, INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN and WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST out of the closets and slapped them on the wall. (That boxy thing on the far left is my NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET pinball machine, which I have still NOT gotten up on its legs and working yet. Grrr!!)

In the dining room I have a bunch of pre-1950s posters. In one little space behind a cupboard, I had the poster for THE BRIDE AND THE BEAST--the silly gorilla loves woman movie penned by ED "Plan 9" WOOD. I came across my 1948 re-release of THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII and SHE and slapped that up in its place. On the wall next to the refrigerator in the kitchen, I bumped up the ABBOT T AND COSTELLO MEET DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE poster and squeezed in the silly BRIDE AND THE BEAST below it.

THE CATMAN OF PARIS/VALLEY OF THE ZOMBIES: The cheap-looking and cheesy poster for this re-release double feature needed to be framed. I thought it would pair nicely with my REVOLT OF THE ZOMBIES poster on the other side of the fridge.

I tackled the hallway next. The five posters that were hanging there could easily become 10. Whoo hoo! I went to work. Pulling THE HEADLESS GHOST out of the closet, I paired it with NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST.

Further down the hallway was my FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER with CURSE OF THE VOODOO poster. I LOVE this poster. What should I pair it with? What goes with Frankenstein? Dracula, of course. So here is where BLOOD OF DRACULA was relocated.

On the other side of the hallway, my NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and CREATURE WALKS AMONG US bumped up the wall...but also needed companions to hang with them. While I am not sure that the ones I chose will last long, RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (which is really too dark of a poster to see and appreciate in the hallway) and SLAVE OF THE CANNIBAL GOD (love the art!) filled the bill for the moment and were rescued from the closet.

At the end of the hall, my all-time favorite Andy Milligan poster, THE RATS ARE COMING, THE WEREWOLVES ARE HERE, moved up the wall to make room for...what? Although i am not sure it really works there, I grabbed the PIECES poster that I had recently removed from my bedroom to make way for the BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN re-release poster. PIECES is a fun movie....but I am thinking I need to frame and put THE KILLER SHREWS or WILLARD there instead. Hmm...

THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN poster had been on the wall between the window and the bathroom door in my bedroom. While there isn't really room in my bedroom to add more posters to most of the walls due to furniture being in the way, I decided to add an extra poster in the space BRIDE had been in --- and to the space directly opposite it behind my bedroom door. I moved BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN next to the military style for GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN (replacing the poster for the original release of ASTRO ZOMBIES ).

The re-release of ASTRO ZOMBIES was already on the wall behind my bedroom door. It got a boost up and the original poster for the film found a home below the re-release (next to another Andy Milligan gem---the outlandishly so-bad-it's-amazing poster for THE MAN WITH TWO HEADS). Fun fact about ASTRO ZOMBIES--it was co-written by Wayne Rogers, which I recently found out was the Wayne Rogers who starred as Trapper John on the first season(s?) of the MASH television series. Ha!

On the wall next to the bathroom that was formerly occupied by THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (and before that, PIECES), I slapped up JAWS and I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE--both re-discovered as I was digging through the closets. Will they stay there forever? Who knows? But I dig having them up for now.

Hi there. This is just a quick PS or update. NOT a whole new post.
I left off with the I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE poster. I forgot to mention that in the recent documentary on the film, I GREW UP WITH 'I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE', reveals that when the Jerry Gross Organization bought the distribution rights and changed the title and ad campaign, they used a then-unknown model for the poster. Her name was (gasp!) Demi Moore! Ha!
Okay--here is the "update":
THE KILLER SHREWS: If you'll recall (or just look UP), I redid the posters in the hallway. The PIECES poster below THE RATS ARE COMING, THE WEREWOLVES ARE HERE just didn't work for me. So I framed my KILLER SHREWS poster (with it's giant rat-like tail dragging over a shoe near a big blood stain) and decided to pop that up. THE KILLER SHREWS is a lame old flick...with small dogs in killer shrew drag. Ha! The poster isn't all that fab either---but it has it's enigmatic charm, I guess. There was a fairly recent sequel to the film, RETURN OF THE KILLER SHREWS. I never saw it...but now that the DVD is out of print, you can't touch a copy for less that $50 or so. CRAZY! Whatever... I think the SHREWS poster works better with THE RATS ARE COMING... than PIECES did.

And that is it, really.

thumbsup.gif I Drink Your Blood And I Eat Your Skin poster.
MY BLOODY VALENTINE:
Here's the poster for a classic 80's holiday slasher flick. I think I've picked up other copies over the years (it's always nice to have a spare). Apparently this original version of MY BLOODY VALENTINE was savaged by the MPAA to get an R rating. I thought I had heard talk of a special edition video release or something like that with the censored parts restored, but I don't think anything has come of it. The remake was a lot more gruesome and bloody (and in 3D to boot) than the original ever thought of being.
Shame this film was cut down so far for the theatrical release. LionsGate released the 1981 version uncut on blu ray back in 2009, unfortunately its out of print.

Demi Moore! That poster is a bit St. Elmo's Fire-Cakes, eh?! All I know, Monster, besides all the amazing posters with frames with which you are delighting us, I want to join your fan club so I can receive the official Monster A-Go Go member button! Sign me up!

What's this? ANOTHER episode of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show? But I thought it was over with, you say. Well, it is...more or less. (For now...??) However, I had a few situations pop up (I'll mention them below) that caused me to need to shop and, well... that led to a few purchases. To make up a whole post, that required a few more half-hearted purchases and... the results (such as they are) are below.
But first...
ScaryMovies: Thank you so much for the info. I had already tracked down a used copy on eBay--but had I not known it was out there, I'd have missed it entirely. THANK YOU for mentioning it. Others out there may be interested to see it as well.
Okie: Yes! Those are supposed to be St Elmo's Fire-Cakes! Very clever. Do you REALLY want to join the official Monster A GoGo fan club and get the club member button? Normally there is a rigorous (or rigor mortious?) application process and astronomical fees (We have to keep membership exclusive, right?). However, since you would be the very FIRST member, I will gladly send you a button for (Gasp!) FREE! Send me a PM with your address and you really will get one in the mail. REALLY!

LASERBLAST (Italian locandia):
I did not need this. At all. It was cheap. ($6?) and featured different images than the US one sheet, but I did NOT need this.

SAM WHISKEY:
I did NOT need this either. I had never heard of a SAM WHISKEY movie (with Burt Reynolds, Clint Walker and Angie Dickinson? I'm guessing it must be crap, then...). Curiosity made me bid.Oops.

I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE:
Okay...this one I did kind of want. No, it is not the I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE from the 70's about the woman who has just broken, cut, chopped and burned 5 men (actually 4 men) beyond recognition... However, as a film with the same name, it is only understandable to be curious about it. No, I have not seen it...but I think it would be good, early 60s sleazy fun.

SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER / GREASE (re-release combo):
I sooooo did NOT need this. (I actually may/probably already have a copy...) What was I thinking (aside from the fact it was cheap)?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TKIV7zMDm8I/XXA62oig6NI/AAAAAAAAR3Y/OgMs1-q4n1MAg06iUeC3D8QFxjFnz8qDQCLcBGAs/s1600/grease_and_saturday_night_fever_EB05829_B%2B%2Bbb.jpg)

CAPTAIN SINDBAD (Italian 2 F):
This is why I felt the need to go poster shopping. A while back I got another copy of this poster in amazing condition. In shipping, something happened to the container it was in. Something jammed into it....and so the poster (which was folded down into 8 rectangles) was torn...in 8 places, ruining the poster. I had to have another and I got this one---although it is not nearly as nice as the previous one had been. Waaaagh!

THE LOVE-THRILL MURDERS (re-release of SWEET SAVIOR):
I have no idea why I felt the need to own this re-release poster. Aside from being inexpensive, the mask thing on the right kind of reminded me of the mask thing on the one sheet for THE FUN HOUSE (the first release of LAST HOUSE ON DEAD END STREET). I did notice that this release was X Rated. With an aging Troy Donahue? I wonder if the original SWEET SAVIOR release was also rated X...

CANNIBAL FEROX (Italian 2F):
I already have one or two of these...but when shopping for the SINBAD poster, I came across this---so why not?

SINGLE ROOM FURNISHED:
As bad as an actor as she could be, there was something about Jayne Mansfield I have always dug. I've been trying to track down her posters. Although i MIGHT have one of these already, I was not sure. This final film of hers is a low budget affair, but she is really good in it. She died before it was completed. She was playing various characters in the flick and her death is obvious as there is this whole LONG segment without her.

THE ELECTRONIC MONSTER:
This poster is not that amazing. As I recall (I saw this flick years and YEARS ago), this flick is not that fab either. However, there is something about the poster that has made it on my "want" list for a long while. It's in great shape.

CHILD'S PLAY:
This was something else I actively pursued. I don't know exactly how or why I saw this come available...but when i did see that it was up for sale, I decided I needed it. I have all of the posters for the theatrical sequels...but (Gasp!) did NOT have the original's poster. (I did NOT bother with the recent remake's poster...). Not the best poster---but whatever. It is the first.

And that is it. Nothing special. Nothing exciting. I actually have a couple of other posters...but I really don't want to buy any more for a while. I have been framing more...maybe i'll do another post with new posters and newly framed posters. We will wait and see...
Thanks for visiting.

There is a sucker born every minute. You may have not been born yesterday, but you've just been suckered into today's edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. How suckered? Well, as I've said, I'm taking a break, more or less, from buying posters (TRYING to, anyway) for a number of personal reasons. So, if you were expecting posters....there are not many to see. There are 10 entries as usual, but only 4 posters. (Gasp!) But this post has a gimmick to get you to stay until (hopefully) the bitter end.... It's in (partial) 3D, baby! Why the in-your-face gimmick-a-go-go? You'll see. It just HAPPENED that way. Dig out a pair of red and blue 3D glasses if you got 'em. There won't be a lot of 3D thrills, but hopefully you'll have fun along the way anyway.
Glasses on. Let's GO....

BWANA DEVIL (3D glasses):
BWANA DEVIL was the first full-length feature film in 3D. It started the craze back in 1953. I already had a pair of these BWANA DEVIL 3D glasses and was preparing to mount them in a display to hang next to the one sheet. I thought they were super rare. I mean, who saves 3D glasses for 66 years? Apparently several people did. When looking on eBay to see if there were other assorted 3D glasses from other vintage 3D films, I found several more pairs of BWANA DEVIL glasses...like this pair. I decided to snatch them up.

PARADISO (3D glasses):
Aside from BWANA DEVIL glasses, I stumbled upon these vintage red and blue 3D glasses. I have no idea what film the 3D Space Goggles were for, but I am aware of PARADISO, an early 3D nudie. I may have the one sheet for it as well. They were cheap. Why not?

COMIN' AT YA (3D glasses):
Hot diggity! This was an unexpected BONUS find. This is a pair of glasses to the 1981 film COMIN' AT YA, which re-ignited the 3D craze for a brief time in the 80s. I have a collection of glasses for MOST of the 80's 3D flicks (JAWS 3D, ROTTWEILER, PARASITE, TREASURE OF THE FOUR CROWNS, etc.). Somewhere I have my original FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 3D glasses (I saw it twice and somewhere have those two pairs of glasses tucked away). Did they have glasses for AMITYVILLE 3D? I've never seen any. (We had generic glasses when I saw it at the movies back in the day...) I had never seen a COMIN AT YA pair before---and didn't know that title specific pairs actually existed. Whoo hoo! I have glasses for the first 3D movie ever (BWANA DEVIL above) and now the first 3D flick of the 80s revival.

FLINSTONES IN VIVA ROCK VEGAS (prop):
Although I saw THE FLINSTONES with John Goodman in the lead, I did not bother to see the follow-up prequel THE FLINSTONES IN VIVA ROCK VEGAS. I still have NOT seen it. But, while looking for documentation for a movie prop I bought a while back and am about to display, I stumbled on an auction for this item. A $20 casino chip (20 clams--very clever) from the film. I bid a modest amount and for less than 20 clams ($10 or, with premium, about $13), this little forgettable piece of cinematic history is mine, baby! Yabba Dabba Doo! (Well, I'm NOT that excited. It just seemed like the appropriate thing to say...).

THE NIGHT THE SCREAMING STOPPED (Vomit bag promo):
I probably already have one of these...but who couldn't use another vomit bag, right? I wish gimmicks like these were still around. Sigh...

BOOBY TRAP:
"The book no one had the guts to publish, Harry Novak now makes into the year's most sensational film!" Ha! Was there really an unpublished book this was based on? Was the book ever published? Who knows? Who cares? The film has a great exploitive title. I've not seen the film, but I'm sure it's sleazy grindhouse fun.

I DISMEMBER MAMA (aka POOR ALBERT AND LITTLE ANNIE):
This is a rather crappy flick. Why bother with the one sheet? Several reasons. Although I have seen this image before, I am not sure I have this poster. I do have the poster for this film under it's original (and lame) title (POOR ALBERT AND LITTLE ANNIE) and, of course, the double bill poster (teamed with BLOOD-SPATTERED BRIDE) with the great "up-chuck cup" gimmick. The ONLY reason this title is on my radar is because for a brief while I sort of knew Geri Reischl, who played the little girl "Annie". Geri is most famous (infamous?) for playing (FAKE) Jan Brady on the miserable jaw-dropping bomb THE BRADY BUNCH VARIETY HOUR/THE BRADY HOUR when the real Jan, Eve Plumb, declined to do the show. For years and years after making it, Geri never saw the completed film. She looked for it, but could not find it. It was only after she was in her late 20s or probably early 30s that she discovered the title had been changed to the creepy cool I DISMEMBER MAMA that she saw it. I did give her a copy of the one sheet for it---I think the double bill version, but I'm not sure now...

STAR WARS - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER (International Advance):
I am no STAR WARS fan, but recognize how crazy the prices for STAR WARS stuff gets. I saw this and thought I should grab it before things got too insane. I paid far too much for it (well, more than I'd have like to pay), but the prices have already gotten higher and higher than I shelled out. Possible Spoiler: I'm no fan, but it seems that the poster may be giving away a huge plot point.

Okay...glasses off! That's it for this time. I will have another post soon, I think...but it will be a special one---NOT posters, but stuff I've done with them (and other movie stuff) around the house. Snore, huh? It's a toss up... Fewer posters but more posting/content. Eh!
Watch out for sharks in your face, strange men playing with paddle balls, or things comin' at ya! Your 3D glasses may be off, but don't forget you live in a 3D world.
Thank you, as always, for visiting. CHEERS!

Really cool 3-D glasses from specific movies, Monster! I really like the Paradisio pair with the rocket ship! Hold in right hand? What is the left hand doing? Oh man, could you imagine Linda Blair 3-D puke in your face?! Take that Exorcist taste buds! I love 3-D glasses warning of "Not for 'Bwana' night driving"! Is that a Necco flavored clam? If there's a Harry Novak coming at you, you're going to need more than a bra and panties to prevent a booby trap, eh lil' Monster?! I guess you could try to bust a nipple cap to stay out of that trap. Nature goes 3-D wild in Tahiti? No wonder it's "Out-Thrilling all Other South Sea Island Adventures" (cast your competition net wide, eh?). Nicely done once again, my Monster hero!
Your fan club's first member and proud of it, Okie

Hello. Guess what. You are back for MORE posters. But I must warn you. I think I must be under the spell of an evil witch doctor or something. My poster mojo is on the fritz. We will get through this Poster Show quickly. There's nothing interesting to see, really. Recently eMovie had another "lot" auction. I bid on several and got stuck with one...a dull turd of a lot, too. It's my own damn fault for bidding on it in the first place. There were actually 12 posters in this lot, but 2 were just so beyond lame that I'm never going to bother to mention them. The 10 below are stretching things thin as it is... Oh well.
OKIE: Ha! You outdid yourself in your wacko review of my last post. Thank you for the note. The below post is nothing of note. Just sleep through it now. Your Fan Club kit ships THIS WEEK! Oh boy!!! CHEERS!
Okay--let's go knock this out and be DONE with it.

NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CLASS REUNION:
This is a forgotten spoof of 80s horror movies from National Lampoon. It is largely forgotten because...it just wasn't that good. Still it is an interesting curiosity. Maybe.

PRIVATE SCHOOL:
80s sex comedy with Phoebe Cates, Sylvia Kristel, and Ray Walston...featuring a deliberate ripoff of SOME LIKE IT HOT or TV's BOSOM BUDDIES with three guys attending the school in drag. Hardee-har-har. Hijinks ensue.

METALSTORM: THE DESTRUCTION OF JARED SYN:
80s 3D...Aside from the 3D craze at the time, i have no idea why anyone bothered to make this film. It is silly and makes little sense--and has no ending. BUT---I am a sucker for 3D/gimmicks...

TIDAL WAVE:
I'm also a sucker for old disaster movies. Hence, the poster for TIDAL WAVE (and another below). If you've never seen TIDAL WAVE, you really are not missing much. It was a longer Japanese film (THE SINKING OF JAPAN...or something like that) that was edited down and had scenes with Lorne Greene (a la Raymond Burr in GODZILLA) added in for American audiences. Forgettable.

Okay---that was quick and relatively painless...and you'll forget all about it minutes from now.
Thanks for the visit. I'm sorry it wasn't more interesting...or at least interesting at all.
My luck seems to go from bad to worse lately. I'm gonna sign off before I get hit by a runaway piano or something seemingly random and unfathomable like that.
Stay groovy.

1. There is nothing wrong with a Phoebe Cates poster.

Welcome back! Today is NOT another haul of new posters. No. It's an update on what I've been doing at my house. There are new things on the walls and other things in the works. Lucky YOU get to be among the first to see what is going on. Whoo hoo!
EATBRIE/THIERRY: Hi there. Another one of your rare visits. Welcome and nice to see you. 1) I never said there was anything wrong with any Phoebe Cates movie. I was just utterly uninterested in the poster as (I HAVE SEVERAL ALREADY. Ugh... and 2) Don't waste your time on TIDAL WAVE. Really. Toho miniature effects--so not convincing. And, as I said, it is edited from a much longer Japanese film that i am not sure was ever released here.
Okay, enough dawdling. Get inside and get a seat. The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is about to begin again.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_C49x6pjsyo/XYwmW98BLfI/AAAAAAAASBE/qs7jEcW97roJ8g-LBdoxkIa4agR09y6jgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/tumblr_oab9qoBujt1rp0vkjo1_500.gif)
My hallway is pretty much filled up with a double row (top and bottom). There are things like light switches, thermostats and doorbell chimes that have prevented me from adding in posters here and there...but they've left some pretty big gaps. Hmm.
I had plans for those gaps--shadow boxes filled with some of the props, costumes, and gimmick premiums I have gathered over the years. In working out how I could incorporate those shadow boxes in, it occurred to me that, if I moved a few things, I could squeeze in three more posters! I dug through one (of 3) of my closets of framed posters and pulled the three below out:
I had been working on a BWANA DEVIL project, so of course that had to come out.

I have posters for all of THE EVIL DEAD films, but none of them are on display. I stumbled on the poster for the first film and up it went (where I had previously hung THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US).
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gkH-NDVe9QI/XYwaqeuc9lI/AAAAAAAASAY/cXumnFgZK1E7kc0XoDMa9Vxw2jIIv8UKgCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_1357.jpeg)
Finally, I opted for ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA to occupy one of the newly created poster spaces. It's not a great movie by any means, but the poster art work is fabulous.

But it is my projects I am working on (I have several going at once) that I was focusing on. My first was finished and ready to go-go. A little while back, I shared that I scored 2 pairs of BWANA DEVIL 3D glasses to go with a pair I already had. BWANA DEVIL was the FIRST full-length movie in 3D, back in 1953. I have the one sheet and planned to make a display to hang near it. Here it is:
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Niez7dXtki8/XYaE3CHRVUI/AAAAAAAAR8g/06kFRDXvC3ABGJwYd8bJ5Ym76xNZKCuSQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/IMG_1294.jpeg)
I didn't want to use tape or any sort of adhesive that might damage the 66-year-old glasses. So they and everything in the display are just laid in there with the backing holding them in place. I found a huge roll of rolled black acid-free paper at Michael's to also help preserve them. Anyway, since they are not glued down, they are a bit uneven. I tried several times to make it look straight.. but clearly it's "orientation" is not for me to enforce (bad joke) and I left it as best I could get it. Yes, it's an amateur mounting...but I don't do this for a living. Ha!
Here it is on the wall above the BWANA DEVIL one sheet. I moved the RATS ARE COMING THE WEREWOLVES ARE HERE and KILLER SHREWS posters over and made room for the one sheet. You can also see THE EVIL DEAD in its new home.:

It may be hard to make out, but the hall light kind of ruins the space I stuck it in. I may move the BWANA DEVIL stuff eventually when/if I have a bigger display to go there. But for now--yippie! My BWANA DEVIL glasses are out (and proud) (bad "not straight" joke again. Sorry. It was just THERE).

The rest of this post is not that exciting...just posters in two newly created spaces.
By moving THE HEADLESS GHOST and NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST over, I created a space to hang ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA. The space above has objects I can't move...but it also has space for another future display or two.

I relocated my CREATURE WALKS AMONG US to the wall between my bedroom and the linen closet. The light switch there has always been problematic for posters. When I lived in the house originally (before my 6-year stint in the Shack-O-Rama while I went to nursing school and got the first few years of work under my belt), I had settled for a half sheet hanging there. But with the double-row of one sheets, I realized I could hang a poster below the light switch. I couldn't hang one above the light though as it would throw the rest of the hallway off balance. Instead, I will use the space for still other future displays.

Welcome back! Today, instead of new posters, we have a bunch of projects to share. Nothing exciting. I'm no pro and this is strictly amateur hour...but I am glad more of my artifacts are coming out of the closets and boxes and being put on display---so I can enjoy having them and so can anyone who comes to the house.
Take a look or don't...

Newly framed:
Nothing exciting here. I picked up 2 new frames. Of course, they are only 27x40 as it is impossible to find 27x41 frames any more. One of the frames, as I was unwrapping it I realized the plexiglass was broken in the corner and it will have to go back. That is okay as I have not been able to locate a poster I was planning to put in it. With the other one I opted to put in FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VII: THE NEW BLOOD. No, it's not the best of the series and I have other posters from throughout the series I could use. However, I have a project I hope to do in the coming weeks that has to do with FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 7 and I thought I'd just go ahead and get it framed now. This is not hanging anywhere yet. Stay tuned for more on this project as it happens...

1980's 3D Glasses display:
After completing and hanging my display of 3D glasses from the first 3D movie ever, BWANA DEVIL from 1953, I got to work on a simple, but more jam-packed display of 3D glasses from the 3D revival in the 198_s. I recently found/bought a set of 3D glasses for the movie that put 3D back on the map in 1981, COMIN’ AT YA. However, I already had a pair of glasses for the film—but they were completely different.
In addition to the two COMIN’ AT YA pairs of 3D glasses, I have glasses for TREASURE OF THE FOUR CROWNS, JAWS 3D, the 1982 re-release of 1973’s ANDY WARHOL’S FRANKENSTEIN, PARASITE and that is it. I have a generic pair from the era as well, which I will eventually replace with my FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 3D glasses. I saw the film TWICE back in the day in the theater, and kept BOTH pairs of glasses. They are somewhere.
I ‘ve seen but am still lacking a pair of ROTTWEILER 3D glasses. Does anyone know if glasses were made for AMITYVILLE 3D, THE MAN WHO WASN’T THERE, SPACEHUNTER, or METALSTORM: THE DESTRUCTION OF JARED SYN? How about the re-release of HOUSE OF WAX or DIAL M FOR MURDER? I’ve never seen any.

Halloween II [prop book]:
I got this prop book from the Rob Zombie remake sequel a while back. While I am not a big fan of the Rob Zombie remakes—especially Part II [What was with the big white ghost horse anyway?]—I am a fan of the HALLOWEEN series as a whole. Getting a piece of it—even from Rob Zombie’s remake sequel—was quite exciting for me.
In the film, Dr Loomis [played by Malcolm McDowell in the Zombie films], out to make a buck, has written a sensationalist account of Michael Myers and his murder spree. He is doing a book signing in Haddonfield [where the crimes were committed] at a book store. Several copies of the book are on display. The book is only as real as its dust jacket. Underneath, it is a James Patterson novel. But it is still neato mosquito to own it.
For the shadow box, I added some shots from the movie that show the book [from the book signing scene and another from a talk show]. It’s no the most exciting thing ever, but I am thrilled to own it and have it up on my walls at home.

The Monster A GoGo Fan Club?
As a joke. a fellow poster collector here on APF who enjoys my posts, saw a fairly recent one and commented: I want to join your fan club so I can receive the official Monster A-Go Go member button! Sign me up!
The picture of the button he had seen was on the bottom of my post.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5hZAvpONlrE/XV9kD_7H_CI/AAAAAAAAR0Q/Jqxcashhyzsk01T0mL_wx9uvt3Ep9__0ACPcBGAYYCw/s320/il_794xN.720520179_tl7j.jpg)
He wanted to receive the "official Monster A-Go Go member button"? Ha! But the thing was, I had that button, several of them in fact. It's not nearly as big as the picture, but it is still a Monster A-Go Go button as shown. So, I played along.
After a few weeks, I got the "fan club" kit together. It started off with a certificate of membership:
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MHogO84hnB8/XY16587h2HI/AAAAAAAASD4/49Ylu5mojLIp_IGLtoBexoWxmHDb5fiTgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Monster%2BA%2BGoGo%2BFan%2BClub.jpg)
Had I thought about it, I'd have made the certificate horizontal...but whatever. I didn't want to spend too much time on a silly lark. This would do.
There was also a welcome letter that inventoried all of the fabulous crap...er, membership surprises that were included in the fan club member kit:
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TYECOwtTnJU/XY18ewbKmjI/AAAAAAAASEM/wWsgeStOEE0AzwL1XHtPbArB76W08meHQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Fan%2BClub%2Bletter%2B1.jpg)

I realized after it was sent off that I forgot to "sign" it. Oops! Ha!
As noted in the letter, he gets 3 (count 'em, THREE!) buttons.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JEoDrtu9rwA/XY16ErmPGII/AAAAAAAASDs/2bCaxrr1WcYsE8MKM_kcIgzDL-9EnAYSwCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_1391%2B%2Bbb.jpg)
In addition to the buttons (you can see how small they truly are below), I also included a box of gummy Boogers and a weird lenticular postcard.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VnrMcIgwofs/XY16EjzrJrI/AAAAAAAASDo/PnqzzjWG9YcM35DHVDf0ozW3BnAqA_CCQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_1389%2Bbbb.jpg)
The Freddy's Dead 3D glasses, Jumanji ticket, lubricant, hand sanitizer, box of Beaver Buddies cookies, melting face woman sticker and Bucket of Blood swizzle stick were also included.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-riHWrFYTCNY/XY16Ep5k7nI/AAAAAAAASDk/E7dtkv6u014nGu_1Tl6febtxmCiphoPhACEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_1388%2Bbb.jpg)
I was going to send it all in a large padded envelope...but then I got worried the cookies would be crushed and the BEAST OF BLOOD swizzle stick would get broken. Hmm.
I found an old Amazon box and covered one end of it with paper. I threw everything in and sealed it. I then made the box front below. The recipient's address and my return address were added in later, but you get the general idea of what it looked like.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JRL9sFLUjwk/XY1J6-RNL9I/AAAAAAAASCE/4Exaphf-tjgurRzqVc-hXSCRFK_IvIAYwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/IMG_1393%2Bbb.jpg)
Of course, once it was all sealed up and decorated, I realized that I had more room inside than an envelope could have carried. I could have thrown in more junk...er, valuable membership merchandise. I had some new horror CD soundtracks and DVDs I could have added. Heck, I could have maybe fit a folded up one sheet in there as well. Oh well. The meager silliness I did send should be fun unto itself. Especially since the whole thing was just a JOKE to begin with.
He should have received it on Monday. I have not heard if he liked it or not yet as he was going to be out of town. I hope he digs it for what it is...
That's it for now.

Hi Monster! Man, I can't wait to get back home next week and see in person all the goodies you pictured in the official fan club kit you sent me!!! Holy moly, the kit looks amazing with official letter and everything! You are the best, Monster! My wife said the box looks fantastic, too! Your fan, Okie.
-
ARGH!!! You were NOT supposed to see this first. Ha! Oh well. I spoiled your surprise. Sorry.
There may be a BONUS surprise coming soon.
Maybe... It's a pretty full month for me this October. I may not get to it.
But hopefully I WILL.
CHEERS!

Wow. Glad you are getting to display some stuff. The 3D glasses are really cool to see all together.
Will the Nightmare Before Christmas lent make an appearance this October?
-
Hi there. I do not have a lighted frame yet....so I’ve not ever displayed any of my lenticular posters yet. But I will ask Santa for one for Christmas. Hmmm. Who knows? Cheers
-
Like so so many people when it comes to movie posters, I don’t really understand the 3D glasses. Why do you collect them? Are they valuable? Emotional value perhaps? I’d love to know what draws you to them.

Hi T. I love movies. The movie poster thing is an extension of that. I’m also a sucker for movie gimmicks. The 3D glasses are part of the gimmick and the glasses are created for individual movies...not just generic glasses. The BWANA DEVIL glasses are from 1953. The JAWS 3D, PARASITE, COMIN’ AT YA, etc are from the 80s. 3D has changed since then and you don’t get those silly cardboard glasses any more. Not worth much but I like them. I also have another display of other gimmicks (barf bags, odorama cards, promo coins, etc. ) . Not poster stuff, but movie-related.

Hello and oh my stars! It's another Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. How did this happen? I'm not quite sure... Hmm. I really tried to avoid poster shopping and what I have is not that great, but...it IS another Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. Amazing but true!
Okay, the lights are dimming and the show is starting. Shhh! No talking...and please silence your cell phones. Thank you.

MURDER ON CAMPUS:
This is an obscure title---at least, I had never heard of it before. I had never seen the poster before either. It was cheap--so I bought it. What a cheap poster design. It looks like, instead of art, they just decided to use lobby cards (which they probably didn't bother to run on their own). Why did I want this then? The little bit on the bottom was what sold me. There's a bad drawing of a woman (Is that long hair or sideburns?) screaming, the cheesy horror lettering of the title, the fake review ("A thriller-chiller!" **** ) that is attributed to no one, and the company logo (A Colorama Features Release) that I do not recall ever hearing of again were the true elements that attracted me to this one. Ha!

AROUND THE WORLD WITH JOHN HOLMES:
I don't buy many posters for adult (porn) movies. I have noticed now and again that some titles go for a good price. They are usually those from the pre-porn nudies/roughies era, from certain directors (Doris Wishman, Michael and Roberta Findlay, etc.), hit movies (DEEP THROAT, BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR, etc.) or featuring certain stars. I stumbled on this John Holmes poster for a mere $13 and snatched it up. It will sit in a box, but I thought $13 was pretty cheap.

MONSOON:
I had seen this poster come and go just a few times. I know nothing about the flick, but it sounds like it is a big romantic drama with disaster elements towards the end (a monsoon). I dig my disaster flicks and thought I'd add this one. It was cheap. ($10)

THE STRANGERS:
I'm not sure if I ever saw this or not, but I did see the sequel...and that impressed me. CREEPY. There is another home invasion thriller I liked called YOU'RE NEXT, which is also worth checking out.

HELL FEST:
I already have this poster. However... The other day I (stupidly) purchased 2 poster-sized frames. They were 27x40 though. You can't find 27x41 any more anywhere. When I got home I looked through the last two years of my posts, looking for a newer (27x40) poster to frame. HELL FEST was one of the ones I decided deserved to be framed. However, I could NOT find my poster anywhere (and there are far too many rolls to dig through). So, late last night I went online and found another copy. Ha! Since I have more than 200 framed posters using up all of my closet space, I don't know what I was thinking buying MORE frames. HELL FEST...if it ever does get framed...can sit in its own hell in closets with the other posters in there.

HELL FEST:
No, I'm not having a brain fart and printing the same poster twice by accident. What happened was that the next two posters down were available fairly cheaply...and so was this. Alone this would have been $20 (with shipping), but as part of a larger order it was under $12 with shipping. SOLD!

SOLO (Advance Lando-style):
I've said many times I am no STAR WARS fan. But, at auction, I recognize the price of things. These character poster seem to sell well and this was fairly cheap. So...

STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI:
While looking at the two SOLO posters above, this one showed up as a suggestion on a lower portion of the screen. It, too, was lower priced than expected---so someone made a SALE!

INVISIBLE AGENT (3 sheet):
Earlier this year, I scored an INVISIBLE MAN'S REVENGE (1944) 3-sheet. I HATE 3-sheets, but have very little in the way of Universal horror...so I went for it. When I saw this earlier (1942) sequel 3-sheet up for sale, I was interested but not that interested. The seller didn't have any takers and the price came down a little week after week until I finally decided to go for it. It will probably never be displayed (I hate 3 sheets--they are in 2 pieces and I have no frames to fit them.), but maybe it will be worth something someday? Until then, it will remain an invisible purchase, stored away in a box, envelope or drawer somewhere...

Thanks for your answer. I get it. It's certainly a very original and different endeavor. Something I had never seen before, but it totally makes sense.

I made it home and it was really here: my official Monster A Go-Go Membership Kit! Hot dog! Here's a picture of me enjoying all the membership goodies! Thanks, Monster! Okie
P.S. Yes, my forehead is growing for the holidays.

So, lil' Monster walked away finally with that sharp looking Invisible Agent 3 sht, eh?! I was tempted by it, too. Nice choice out there on the Left Coast a go-go! Okie

You! Fellow movie poster collector or aficionado, I am talking to YOU. You are “the coolest people in town” and I THANK YOU for visiting my humble post.

Today’s post will be a little on the crappy side, I’m afraid. For one thing, it is rushed. I’m visiting the L.A. area at the moment and am using my tablet—-which I’m not a fan of using (I like my old-fashioned desktop computer at home. Also—and probably most importantly—the posters presented today are NOTHING special and, in several cases, repeats of things I already have [SNORE!]. To try to make things a tad better (or possibly bore you to tears faster), there is a BONUS 11th poster thrown into the mix. oh boy... If you want your money back, go now. If you feel so bored at any time, please feel free to leave. Hopefully you’ll give me other chances and come back again in the future, though?
T: I'm glad you understand my 3D glasses displays (and others coming). Most people wouldn't get it, i guess...but they are for me. I dig 'em. Ultimately that is all that matters. At least i can see them now that they are on display.
Okie: Yippie! I am so glad my first (and only) fan club member got his box o' crap...er, official fan club membership goodies. Enjoy! And yes, that INVISIBLE AGENT 3-sheet is mine. Now what the hell am I going to do with it? Hmm... Ha!
Help yourself to goodies. I may have crappy posters today, but at least I am a good host. Ooo... there’s the flickering lights. The show is about to start. Grab your seats now...

DIRTIEST GIRL I EVER MET:
No, I’ve NEVER seen this flick, nor will I bother probably. Why get the poster? Well, sucker for gimmicks that I am, I totally dug the bogus “Conditions of admission” notice on the top of the poster. Yeah, right. They aren’t gonna turn anyone with cash away from the theater. Ha! Also, if I am not mistaken, the ad art was used (in newspapers—-not on one sheets] for the showings of POOR WHITE TRASH (aka BAYOU] and the “sequel” in name only POOR WHITE TRASH 2 [aka SCUM OF THE EARTH].

THE HEARSE:
Not an exciting poster. Not an exciting movie either. This was cheap...but I didn't need it at all. I already have a few---in better shape.

TORSO:
This poster came with THE HEARSE--and, again, I already have several copies.... I remember when this flick came out, hot on the heels of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. I wanted to see either of them so badly. Of course, I wasn't even 10 yet and did NOT get to go. TORSO is a British flick--and as I write this, I still have NOT seen it (but it is in my pile o' DVDs and should be viewed very soon...like by Thanksgiving if not earlier. If I could just bother to stay home for a while instead of running all over the place, I'll get to it... Ha!)

How is the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show going so far?

Crickets....
Okay. Moving along...
TERROR TRAIN:
Something else I didn't need and already have. What is wrong with me? WHY do I do that? GRR! Anyway, I have always liked TERROR TRAIN. But another copy of the poster I did NOT need. (It was cheap...of course).
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZSlUvbLyLxo/XaRoaxSjAqI/AAAAAAAASL4/DcHL1p-RqaEOhDpJGgeK2rrDVnVzawC4wCEwYBhgL/s1600/Terror%2BTrain%2Bbb.jpg)

THE BEAST MUST DIE:
This one I actually DID need. This poster isn't rare at all---I've just never been able to snag one. Although it was not intended to be a blaxploitation film (Actor Robert Quarry was going to be the lead), the producers decided to capitalize on the hit blaxploitation film phenomenon, especially the blaxploitation horror flicks (BLACULA, SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM, BLACKENSTEIN, & ABBEY) and make this into a pseudo blaxploitation werewolf flick and cast Calvin Lockhart as the lead. Peter Cushing and Charles Gray are also in it. Plus, the flick has a giimmick mentioned on the poster. In the movie there is a "Werewolf Break"--where the audience has time to decide who they think the werewolf is. That's it. It does not affect the movie's outcome at all and there is no prize for correctly guessing--it's just a little recap to guess who the werewolf is. Ha! So, blaxploitation werewolf movie AND a gimmick? I had to have it.

47 METERS DOWN:
I like my JAWS knockoffs. I saw this flick and hated the ending. It was an okay thriller, but the film (and the poster) weren't so fabulously awesome/cheesy as say TINTORERA or GREAT WHITE, so I delayed buying the poster. I saw it listed cheap and thought why not? I have not seen the recent sequel yet. Any good?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JxbXRGzBl3s/XaU5DCtgvtI/AAAAAAAASMc/Vz08w5WjYvY3OlcKkhd-CbH4bp9QIlTFQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/47%2BMeters%2Bdown%2B%2Bbb.jpg)

DOCTOR SLEEP (Teaser):
Except for certain franchises I dig (such as HALLOWEEN or FRIDAY THE 13TH or James Bond flicks), I generally avoid posters for sequels. I read DOCTOR SLEEP and it is nothing like THE SHINING, but seeing "REDRUM" on this teaser made me excited to see it. The poster was not very expensive, so...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N-1O1jaqEZ4/XaU5DEFIoHI/AAAAAAAASMY/tBIICoOx2gUJv2ESBGIrkVMe2cst26exACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Doctor%2BSleep%2Bstyle%2BA%2B%2Bbb.jpg)

DOCTOR SLEEP (Advance):
As I was looking for the poster above, I was made aware of this new poster. It is not that exciting either...actually kind of lame...but it was not expensive, so I decided to get it too. I do have to say that I am so glad the makers of this film apparently decided to make it a sequel to the classic Kubrick version of THE SHINING (that Stephen King does not like) instead of that TV mini-series version (that King does like--but no one else cares about) or a sequel to a version that was never filmed (i.e. the film makes up its own version for the back story). I want to see this now because of the way they seem to have weaved in Kubrick's film.

How is the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show going so far? Has it gotten any better? Is it as bad as I thought it would be?

Oh my...
SUSPIRIA:
I did not need this either...I already have one and in better shape. Ha! I do NOT know why I bid on this---and so intensely. I was outbid several times and finally got it, paying way too much for it, I believe. Still it is SUSPIRIA, Dario Argento's masterpiece. I do remember the TV commercial for it that had nothing to do with the film...with a woman (back to the camera) brushing her hair, repeating a rhyme from the film. On the last line, she turns around and she's a skeleton. Then the name SUSPIRIA (as shown on the poster) appears and the letters seem organic and alive, pulsating and breathing. Wonderfully creepy!

GHOST STORIES (Yellow style):
I know nothing about this flick---never heard of it. Never saw it. Nothing. But the poster was so wildly cool looking, I had to have it.

GHOST STORIES (Pink style):
This one was also up for auction as at the same time as the one above. This was even more hallucinogenic and bizarre. Wowzer! Has anyone seen this flick? Do i need to track it down and see it? It looks very cool.

Oh my stars! October has already ended (I sort of 'missed" Halloween this year. Waaagh!) and November is already being whittled away. Soon it will be December and the holiday season will be in full swing. O' the horror of it all. Because I didn't give you a Halloween post this year, i'll throw in an extra poster this time as a special post-Halloween treat (or maybe to give you a little pre-Thanksgiving gluttony?).
Okay---get to your seat. The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is beginning now!

THREE DIMENSIONS OF GRETA:
I probably have this...but I am just NOT sure. I had to get one (just in case) just for the 3D element. I'm such a sucker for a gimmick!!!

ALMOST HUMAN:
Oh my stars! Major senior moment. I had NO RECOLLECTION of winning this poster (or two others on this posting), until I went to pay for things on eMovie Thursday night following their final Halloween auction for the season. When I went to pay, there were some things already sitting in the Pay & Hold area. There were the two different cool GHOST STORY posters I shared in my previous poster post from October 17th. But I had won this with the GHOST STORY posters on October 10th. It should have been the first poster slapped on to this new post...but wasn't. I had completely forgotten about it. (Well, it is a rather forgettable poster for what is probably a forgettable movie as well. Anyone see this?) But that's not the worst of it. Also in my Pay & Hold were two other posters (below somewhere) I had won on eMovie on October 8th. Oops! To my defense, October was a rather busy month for me. I did a lot of traveling. I was in San Diego for a week, Los Angeles for several days and then went off to Oregon for another week. I was home only long enough to work a few days and get to a doctor's appointment or two. But WOW! Forgetting three posters entirely? CRAZY!

THE HUMAN DUPLICATORS:
I've never seen this, but think it has somewhat of a cult following. Although he is not listed on the poster, I believe RICHARD "JAWS" KIEL is in this flick, too. It was fairly cheap... Why not?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-weC1w0R5kYY/XcIkFsl9SYI/AAAAAAAASWI/MCZvEH2UDmswMJ0gfd9_rDWsg6AnEJNxACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Human%2BDuplicators.jpg)

THE EROTIC ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (Italian fotobusta):
This is one of the "forgotten" posters mentioned above that I "won" on October 8th. I was completely oblivious (although I had paid for it already, thank goodness.) I've never seen this. I have no idea if this is some R-rated titillating retelling of the classic tale or a full blown porn opus -- nor do I care. She's not listed on the credits of the fotobusta, but according to the eMovie listing, Uschi Digard is in this.

ADDAMS FAMILY (2019 Advance):
This movie looks fun and I am surprised I have not seen it (yet). I am a bit disappointed though that Thing is portrayed as a disembodied hand as he was in the live action flicks with Anjelica Houston and Raul Julia. I always thought the way it was portrayed on the TV series was creepier. You never knew what THING was attached to. Oh well. This still looks like a hoot and I couldn't resist the poster.

ZOMBIELAND DOUBLE TAP:
With few exceptions, I usually do not buy posters for sequels. However, as pedestrian as this poster is (snore), I did enjoy the first film tremendously and thought the sequel was pretty fun, too. Still, i had no interest in buying this...until i saw it listed super cheap with postage included. Sold!

STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER (Final):
I decided to score one of these before they went crazy high and were totally out of reach. As I've said before, I am no STAR WARS fan. I'll probably see this (weeks after it comes out). The poster does have me curious as to how they handle Leia (she is pictured on the poster and in the trailers) and Lando Calrissian (I spy Billy Dee on the poster as well) and Luke (Hmm...No sign of him on the poster). I'm glad this series is FINALLY ending (but you know it will NOT be the last STAR WARS film ever).

FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER and THE KEEP ( combo Japanese B2):
This is the other poster I completely forgot "winning" not too long back. Hooray! I believe I own the Japanese B2 posters for FRIDAY THE 13TH parts 1-3 as well.

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART V: A NEW BEGINNING (Japanese B2):
When I won this on Thursday night, I remember thinking to myself that I knew I had the B2s for FRIDAY THE 13TH 1-3...I just needed one for PART 4 mow. Imagine my surprise when I logged on to pay for this and saw that I DID have a Part 4, but had just forgotten about it. Ha! Now that I have all five of them, what am I going to do with them? Ha!

FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN (aka ANDY WARHOL'S FRANKENSTEIN) (British Quad):
Oh my stars! I can NOT believe I landed this. I've always preferred the British title (especially when paired with BLOOD FOR DRACULA/ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA) and the British artwork. Zowie! I'll have to track down a BLOOD FOR DRACULA quad now (although the one sheet for the original release of ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA is AWESOME!) so I can have the pair together. Zowie! Truly awesome!

SHE FREAK:
I was bidding on this on eMovie's Halloween auction...and lost it within minutes of the auction's close. (I wasn't watching it for the last few minutes...ARGH!) However, I looked and found this copy (described as in "excellent condition". We will see...) on eBay not long after for just a few dollars more than I lost it for. The picture isn't that good and normally I might wait for a copy I was sure was in ":excellent condition". However, after starring at the one on eMovie for a long while over the last week, I knew I had to have this NOW! Aside from the cool art, the poster is hilarious. Aside from the top blurb ("Behind the tents and tinsel of a Monster Midway something barbaric occurs on the Alley of Nightmares"), the other verbage made me laugh out loud. "All the more appalling in color" and (my favorite) "Filmed on the actual locations where it COULD have happened" sold me. HA! The film itself is fun anyway. It is kind of an unauthorized remake of FREAKS, right down to the shock ending. Whoo hoo!

Okay gang, the show is over (for now). No more tricks up my sleeve tonight. In fact, this MIGHT be my last new poster post of the year. We will see.
Have a great holiday season and thank you so much for visiting.

Okay, I know that when I slapped up my last post, I said it was possibly the last one for the year. Now, 2 days later, here I am. WTF, right? Well, it's called an OOPS! Yesterday morning, I kept getting text after text after text telling me that such and such an auction was about to close. Huh? Oh---it was a bunch of auctions from Excalibur Auctions in England. I had totally forgotten about them. But I bid such low-ball bids on a ton of stuff, I was sure I wouldn't get any of it. Well, I forget how stupid I can be, because, when I got home, I discovered I had won several lots (Groan...). Zowie! Together they cost way too much money...and I still have to pay for/arrange for shipping. UGH!!!
This posting is ALL of the auction winnings--such as they are. WHY did I buy this crap? GRRR...
Take a look or DON'T. Here we go-go!

THE SIGN OF ZORRO:
Snore! This (and the six just below it) was part of a single lot. This poster is the dullest of the seven. This was NOT the poster I wanted in the lot. It's just here to share the tragedy of my stupidity.

AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN:
Double snore! I saw this movie in the theater and I suppose you could say it is a good movie---but it's not my kind of movie (Hello?! Where are the zombies? The franchised serial killers? Anything remotely spooky at all?). Part of that lot o' seven...

AUDREY ROSE (British quad):
I've never cared for the AUDREY ROSE poster art (and I am fairly certain (I have the one sheet). To add to my disappointment, there are tape stains on the corners. Groan... Lot poster, of course.

TOOTSIE:
Another lot purchase... TOOTSIE? Fun little movie, but in my collection? UGH!

THE REBEL GLADIATORS (British Quad):
This is a lot posters and the one I placed a bid on the lot in the first place for. THE REBEL GLADIATORS is one of the peplum/sword & sandal flicks that were the rage (briefly) and churned out (mostly from Italy) in the late 50s through the mid-60s. I dig my "Hercules" movies (as I call them...even though Hercules is only in a handful of them (and not this one). Of course, it looks like there is a paper lift on Dan Vadis' nipple. Ha! Well, that ruins it. Blah...

THE ISLAND AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD:
Another from the same poster lot... This, at least, has decent art. But I bid on this? Purposely? Hmm... I've seen the flick (twice) and never liked it.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dGolOXZJgDA/XceRyrjbRcI/AAAAAAAAScg/Pvf4d0l4tSMXzsmFqJFNgc6F31fhQhgnwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Island%2Bat%2Bthe%2BTop%2Bof%2Bthe%2BWorld%2Bquad.jpg)

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS:
This is the 7th and final poster from that one bulk lot. Don't I have this already? Hmm. What was I thinking?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8Wz5ka4L53c/XceRyY8Yb9I/AAAAAAAAScc/stNJc2KzQx8yaQR2rf2MGq2iyNNwhDF1wCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Little%2BShop%2Bof%2BHorrors%2B%2B%2Bbbbbb.jpg)

HOUSE OF EXORCISM:
This is an ugly poster. Why did I bid on it? Because I love my EXORCIST ripoffs. Stupid me...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7ljDrnm54Dc/XceRycSfTxI/AAAAAAAAScY/xg2LLMrZ5Dcg9MbkxFbz0nQVVwlP-ZPkgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/House%2Bof%2BExorcism%2Bquad%2B%2B%2Bbbbbb.jpg)

RISE AND FALL OF IDI AMIN (British quad):
This sleaze epic's poster I am kind of excited to have. Idi Amin was a terrible man--but this movie is a jaw-dropping, shocking hoot. I don't think it was ever actually released here (but it may have been. i have a one sheet but I think it may be Australian?). I have a bootleg DVD.

CARRIE (double crowns and British quads):
All of these CARRIE posters were in one lot. These seem to be fairly rare. I've only seen them a few times before. I have most of these already, but there is one or two I know I don't have...like the one that says "AFTER THRILL"---whatever that is about. Despite the clothes and hair being stuck in the 70's, I think CARRIE is a classic. Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie both deserved their Oscar nominations for it.

THE STRANGE DOOR:
This was one of the ones I really wanted, but bid low (because I didn't want to deal with the shipping) and was surprised to win (I've never been able to score one before)--until i noticed the nasty tape stain on the bottom center. GRR!!!!
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QI4oFDAu9B4/XceR0Jnrg-I/AAAAAAAAScs/pVmTDk6dTZ8k5rz4JhZqNfLp0qNbZXKsACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/THE%2BSTRANGE%2BDOOR%2B%2Bbbbbb.jpg)

ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 and HALLOWEEN (British quad combo):
I was also surprised I won this, knowing how rabid people get for anything featuring the original HALLOWEEN. This seems to have a bit of fold wear, but it's kind of a fun surprise pick up I had not expected.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bXoQh2vP0Bw/XceRKCdPScI/AAAAAAAASbg/XQq9fNlZYUc-oJN-fP4zUXpTLPCafQ2QQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Assault%2Bon%2BPrecinct%2B13%2Band%2BHalloween%2BBritish%2BQuad.jpg)

That's it. A bunch of JUNK. (Is it my imagination, or have Excalibur's poster lots turned to crap?) Oh well... Maybe I'll learn my lesson. (Yeah, RIGHT!) Next time when I say "Look at your own risk," know that I'm NOT kidding.

Hi Monster! Oh man, you'll have to black light those Carries and see what they look like. I wonder if there will be any surprises?! I'm especially curious on the one with Carrie in photo negative. Will it be cow blood or prom queen blood?!?!?!?!?
Okie
-
Yup. The orange on those Carries should glow — as does the central text on the regular quad. Congrats!
-
After Thrill DC, is not from the Carrie set, it's from At the earths core set.
-
I was going to bid on them myself, but 27% Comms, they can go F**k themselves...

Happy holidays. I know this is a busy time for everyone, but DON'T PANIC... I'm NOT going to take up that much time. In fact, there are fewer posters (just 5) in today's post than the usual 10. Why? Because due to financial issues (those way too expensive Excalibur Auctions purchases last time---plus the way too expensive shipping for them coupled with a very expensive purchase somewhere below DID NOT help situations) and health situations, I think that...unless something really awesome comes along...these will be my final poster purchases. Forever? Hopefully not...but for a long, long time, any way. (Although, I still intend to post updates on projects I'm working on around the house, etc.)
Little me quickly acknowledge my visitors:
OKIE: Hi there. You seem far more excited about the CARRIE posters than I am. Still, it is an interesting set I suppose. Thanks for visiting as always...
paul waines: Thank you for the info on the AFTER/THRILL DC poster. Aha! Excellent poster sleuthing. I agree about the 27% poster commission. I WISH I had told Excalibur Auctions to F**K themselves instead of stupidly bidding. Geez! I'm such an IDIOT!
Okay, let's take a gander at my last (for now) set.
BLACK CHRISTMAS (2019):
I soooooo did NOT need this. However, I have the poster for the original (under the SILENT NIGHT, EVIL NIGHT title) and the first remake (which wasn't all that long ago...or was it?). Why not the new remake? It was cheap---but what a dull poster.

DRACULA AND SON (Italian 2F):
I've never seen this and normally I'd have passed on this...but it was surprisingly cheap. Christopher Lee in a non-Hammer Why not?

THOR: THE CONQUEROR (Italian 2F):
Another Italian poster I didn't need, but this CONAN rip-off from the 80s has always intrigued me. (I'm sure it is awful, but I have yet to see it.) I am almost certain I have a different (better) poster for this same movie. Hmm.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6LYGLpuCw_Y/Xd57dl-uHxI/AAAAAAAASg4/2iVgeoFPCRARDeqAhj-TBfhNBD8ld87pgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/italian_1p_thor_the_conqueror_dupe2_WC20510_B%2B%2B%2Bbbb.jpg)

GHOST CATCHERS:
From 1944 comes this poster for a funny fright flick (so I read...it's supposed to be a comedy). I should have passed on this--but I thought why not? It is in remarkably good condition for being 75 years old. I have no idea who Olsen & Johnson are/were, but Lon Chaney Jr, Andy Devine and Morton Downey (Sr.) also star and have their names on the poster. "They got hants in their dance!" Okay... whatever.

THE BLOB:
Oh my stars! Even though I paid far, FAR more than I ever wanted to pay for this (YIKES!!!!), I have been after an original THE BLOB poster ALL of my life (well, since I started collecting posters back when I was 11 or so). I have both versions of the sequel poster and the remake poster...but the original? Never...until now. Zowie! This film starred a young Steve McQueen and Aneta Corseaut (or Corsaut) (better known as Helen Crump on "The Andy Griffith Show"). The scene in the movie theater must have freaked movie goers out big time back in 1958. Ha! How BLOB-eriffic!

Hi there. I'm back with a a non-poster (but somehow poster-related) post. If you bother to read it, you may understand what I mean. If not, feel free to skip this entry.
HARRY CAUL/MATT: Thank you, as always for the kind words. I'm sorry I somehow missed your input on the glowing orange CARRIE posters earlier, too. I appreciate the info. CHEERS!
The MONSTER-A-GOGO FAN CLUB Update:
Remember the whole joke thing about a Monster A GoGo Fan Club (You can read about it HERE: https://mymoviepostercollectionagogo.blogspot.com/2019/10/the-shock-o-rama-poster-show-2019.html (https://mymoviepostercollectionagogo.blogspot.com/2019/10/the-shock-o-rama-poster-show-2019.html) )---and how I sent it off to my "fan"? Here he is with his official Monster A GoGo Fan Club crap-o-rama! Ha!
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l0LS6RWAknc/XaVlOaZnQUI/AAAAAAAASOg/3hUP4usxlHgpRwav_5jnNvd_F129CkyywCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Monster%2BClub%2BSwag%2521%2B%2B%2Bbb.jpg)
I've sent a few other "fan club" things his way---a postcard or two and something hastily slapped together for Halloween.
I decided to carry the joke on further. After I sent my "fan" (who shall remain anonymous unless he says otherwise) that last-minute Halloween thang (whatever it was--I've totally forgotten what it might have been), I realized Christmas was about to roll around. Hmm. I had to do something...but what?
My first thought was a Christmas card...so he got an official Monster A GoGo Christmas card:
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-srU5jcvCrL8/XgGd9DOrIQI/AAAAAAAASkQ/59DyKCawmwEHUcqh8mNB9fyZKMLA0ok3gCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Xmas%2BCard%2Bgif%2B-7-443d82d00850.gif)
And...eek! Since the card was homemade, I had no envelope for it. So....I made an envelope.
This is the front:

And here is the back:
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-trPiPWlNo0U/XgGdx82N81I/AAAAAAAASkI/4hDSrTRlLXAkplfc7RdOzOhIHJ7N1C_qwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Monster%2Bxmas%2Bcard%2Benvelope%2B2.jpg)
I was super broke this Christmas season. After several trips this year (including one to Europe) and a ton of medical bills (Oooo... NOT pretty.), I was freaking about the holidays. BUT---it was Christmas after all. SO, I assembled a package of crap--some DVDs, candy (?), and other sh...er, valuable merchandise. I did manage to throw in a movie poster....for Lucio Fulci's BLACK CAT (the first poster I came across that was in decent shape and that I knew I had more than one copy of).
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8y-XeBbptPE/XNG6asV6xVI/AAAAAAAARE0/9zdv160XR6Eo47ZV6gPxvPB1bDSmi-l2wCPcBGAYYCw/s640/IMG_0016_NS09627_B%2Bbb.jpg)
The box wasn't that exciting (no time to spend on it), but...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7hfi_FLzn3E/XgGdxxsf6NI/AAAAAAAASkU/5BCSxoO-h5U-t2KfwAjYG2vkQZP-vAa3QCEwYBhgL/s640/Monster%2Bxmas%2Bpackage.jpg)
Off it went... Ho ho ho. It wasn't that exciting, but I hope my "Fan" appreciated his fan club freebies.
Anyway, although he sent me a note that he was sending something my way, in the holiday blur it was forgotten...until I went by my mailbox place and picked it up today.

Inside, buried beneath the Styrofoam packing peanuts and wrapped in newspaper was an amazing tiki-esque surprise. In addition to vintage movie posters, I also happen to be a huge fan of all things tiki. I love to seek out and explore new (to me) tiki bars. There have been some amazing places I've come across (some of which you can see should you chose to visit my new-ish tiki blog HERE: https://tikitime486497118.wordpress.com/ (https://tikitime486497118.wordpress.com/) then scroll down). I must have mentioned this to Mr. "Fan" at some point, because clearly he was attune to this. Here is what he sent:
A tiki-esque (sort of) necklace.

Two sets of wooden bowls, one slightly larger than the other:

A pea pod-shaped serving bowl and a wooden pineapple without a top---that may be a candle holder?

A small, wooden tiki idol.

A three-tiered serving plate with tiki-esque designs carved into it, like palm trees and grass huts.

And finally, there was this cool vintage picture of some lady with a hula guy somewhere somewhere in the 60s or early 70s.

I know this has nothing to do with movie posters really---but it sprang from my "fan's" and my appreciation for movie posters. Sure, these things aren't worth much, but what an amazing gesture. I totally dig it all. I need to have a luau or something. Golly.
THANK YOU so much, Mr. "Fan"! Zowie! What a wonderful surprise-a-gogo!
I hope your Christmas was filled with wonderful surprises as well.

I love being your fan, Monster! Your homemade Christmas card, envelope, and goodie package sure were awesome! I could hear the Tiki calling for you and naturally had to help it get to you! You're the best, Monster!!! Okie

HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone. I hope your holiday season was festive and fabulous. To kick off the new year I have some new (to me) posters, Whoo hoo!
OKIE: I'm glad you liked your Christmas "Fan Club" package. Ha! Thanks for being so super duper yourself. CHEERS!
And now, here's the countdown: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
Happy new posters!!!!

NEW YEAR'S EVIL:
I already have a couple of copies of this and didn't need another. However, what better way to start off a new poster year than with a New Year's-themed movie poster? NEW YEAR'S EVIL was an early holiday horror flick, cashing in on the success of HALLOWEEN, hot on the heels of PROM NIGHT, MOTHER'S DAY, and FRIDAY THE 13TH (all from 1980). Roz Kellyis best known for playing Fonzie's girlfriend Pinky Tuscadero on HAPPY DAYS for a couple of episodes. She has since sunk into obscurity (much like this film). Spoiler alert (but not really, as his face is there peeking through the calendar): Kip Niven is the killer. Niven was a contract player for Universal in the 70s and can be seen in EARTHQUAKE, AIRPORT 75 and THE HINDENBURG.But this flick is one of the lesser titles made during the 80's slasher craze. Zowie, this flick is now 40 years old and I remember when it came out. WHERE did the time go???

GHOST STORIES (Yellow title style):
I got both styles of this poster not too long ago...and thought I'd try for another pair when I saw them recently again. I bid on both styles, but the one with the pink titles I was outbid on. No big loss. I still haven't seen this flick...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ynh-bjaw5qw/Xg-HSGY-KBI/AAAAAAAASso/fq95rGLTIf0ygeCWZtPeBQC4gWbs9_XVgCEwYBhgL/s640/ghost_stories_yellow_title_style_dupe1_EB06849_B%2B%2B%2Bbbb.jpg)

GHOST SHIP:
Speaking of "ghosts"... When I first saw this poster, I thought it might be a re-release of the 1943 flick of the same name. I have the original one sheet for that, so I wasn't going to bother with this. But it kept popping up in my face. I looked into it further and realized it was a poster for a 1953 film that was completely different. It's probably a crappy flick, but the poster was cheap-ish... Why not?

THE ADDAMS FAMILY (2019):
I didn't see this, but might track it down eventually. I was a fan of the original TV series and I do like the creepy, kooky, mysterious, spooky and altogether ooky things in life in general. So why not? I do have to say I prefer THING in the series as opposed to the 90s version or how it looks as if it will be in the current version. Having THING attached to an arm was fascinating...as you were never sure what the arm was attached to. YIKES! Oh well. No one asked me...

HELLBENT:
This was a cheap one...but yikes! Look at the art of that sharp knife point right at that guy's eyeball? Yowza! Does that happen on the movie? It freaks me out just looking at it and it was only like $7, so why not?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HQOze88ned8/Xg-HnuoZZDI/AAAAAAAASs4/kNIYbrlyfIE9-zyDF3E_MHdn-9yKaPJwACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/hellbent_CS06227_B%2B%2Bbbbb.jpg)

CEMETERY MAN:
I already have a copy of this somewhere...but I'm thrilled to score another. This is an unusual and kind of fun--but also kind of different and off of the radar--zombie flick of sorts. I saw it in the theater back in the day...and need to see it again.

STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (International Advance):
I have said many times that I am no STAR WARS fan boy. I've seen most of the films and will probably see the new RISE OF THE SKYWALKER flick eventually (Haven't seen it yet...), but I have been buying the posters as an investment when they are cheap enough. This international version of THE LAST JEDI was cheap enough...and one I don't think I had seen before. Hmm.

STAR WARS: RISE OF THE SKYWALKER (Teaser):
This has got to be the most boring poster ever created for a STAR WARS flick, but it was cheap...and I'll just tuck it away and hopefully there will still be a market for it. Ha!

ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS:
This poster has always gone for big bucks---and I really do not know why. The film is silly and watchable, but is no classic. But I dig it and have wanted one for a long, long while. Paul Mantee stars along with Mona the woolly monkey! TV's BATMAN Adam West is also in this in the beginning section. Fun and cheesy and "scientifically authentic". Yowza!!!

THE HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL:
Hooray! I finally have one of these. Despite the fact that it is impossible that the grand house and extensive yards featured in the film are on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco as they are supposed to be (although I wish they were), the film is kind of fun and the poster is beautiful.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Sfqisj21obc/Xgl6mrrGVZI/AAAAAAAASmI/KbvLRiPNI3E_3h6pLvbXf6p89faMIv1YwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/house_on_telegraph_hill_dupe1_EB06917_B%2B%2B%2Bbb.jpg)

That's it for now. I hope your 2020 brings you much joy, health, happiness, and great movie posters!

Happy New Year, MAGGS! I enjoyed catching up with your thread this morning, some lovely posters and the comments/gifs always make me smile too. I've never seen Robinson Crusoe on Mars, but have always liked that poster. I'm going to make the effort to try and watch it soon.

Welcome back! No new poster purchases today, just updates on my projects. Before we take a look, let's say hello to our visitors, shall we?
OKIE: Ha! Weird and wild as ever. It is good to see you, sir.
TOB: Zowie! It's been a while since you've graced my thread. Thank you for the visit. Let's hope 2020 is a ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS kind of year for you.
And now, on to the projects...and other unfortunate updates...
Newly framed:
HELL FEST:
I purchased some cheap frames at Target. They only had 27x40, of course. I opted to frame the recent HELL FEST and I dig it. (I doubt it will ever appear on the walls, but you never know...)

CEMETERY MAN:
Within the second cheap-o Target frame, I slapped this cool-ish poster. Zombies, Guns and Sex, Oh my!

HELLBENT:
Swapping out one of the old 80s/90s BATMAN posters (that my nephew had previously had up in his room--thanks to me), I put in this shocking knife-to-the-eyeball poster for a movie I had never heard of before.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nlDIepXVKgY/XiF9J5qR0EI/AAAAAAAASv4/4ELWMsH7YO85Hqo8ZF86w-Z3zIsgQCyuACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/IMG_6658.jpeg)
SHE FREAK:
Swapping out a James Bond poster for this colorful schlock horror one sheet was a groovy idea, I think.

A Bad Luck Year?
2020 is only a few weeks old, but already I'm growing weary of it. There have been a string of poster disappoints so far this year.
First, a while back I won a ZOMBIELAND DOUBLE TAP poster. I wasn't that thrilled, but it was super cheap...so why not? But--ugh! When it finally showed up, I was shocked. It was very damaged. The idiot who sold it to me put it in a short triangularly shaped tube that was too short. How do you fix that? By taping a padded envelope around the top and sending it on its way. It was RUINED!

Then, I thought I scored a sought-after treasure. It was a 1980s re-release quad for NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. O' joy!
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9zHTKnYzwXM/XilDK2B0khI/AAAAAAAATTE/A8NswWwzsYUjTnQpNwVdQnwxfEHBpSL9QCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/aaaaa.jpg)
It came and...I didn't even pull it out of the plastic sleeve it came in. Why? There was something suspicious about it. There was a line of text on the side and it was blurry and the white space around it wasn't white...but also looked like it was grainy, like a photo that had been blown up. Hmm. I suspected it was a fake.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Weib7VMfMWc/XilE6lpe-oI/AAAAAAAATTQ/PZpYn6hb_DQk0N6GxFd_RvzPVg5L7Ic2QCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/IMG_6701.JPG)
The seller, who I believe sold it to me as an original in good faith, told me that he had bought it from another seller on eBay, tloceposters. UGH! The infamous TLoce strikes again---and this time from one of his victims. Fortunately the seller let me return it for a refund.
If you saw my last post about my first posters for 2020, you would have seen this poster:
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Sfqisj21obc/Xgl6mrrGVZI/AAAAAAAASmY/gr6sX9uhRms0WY5_VxgR8Rq8HbViybhRwCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/house_on_telegraph_hill_dupe1_EB06917_B%2B%2B%2Bbb.jpg)
Wow! Wow! WOW! I was soooooo thrilled to FINALLY score a HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL poster and in such swell condition. It's a beauty. It arrived today and I immediately set about framing it. I pulled it from the plastic bag, put it in the frame and went to look at it. There was a hole right below the house. Not just a separation at the fold line, but a missing hunk of paper. I had noticed a gap when I was putting it in the frame, but I had thought it was just a small fold split. It's far more than that.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AXI9N-yyiEE/XilGhr7Fj-I/AAAAAAAATTc/sVjygV0HYDMCpbYVa9hUUJ5WRpMvnRjdgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/20200122_164943.jpg)
OH MY STARS! What happened? I looked at the poster carefully---there is not piece of paper folded over behind it. There is no small piece of paper on my floor or in the bag it was shipped in. There is just a hole. I am soooo BUMMED. $177 for this? I sent a note to eMovie earlier, but I doubt they'll be able to do anything. Jeepers... Just my luck.
Anyway, that's my updates for now. Hopefully 2020 will get itself together and work out better for me. (I'm NOT gonna hold my breath though...).
CHEERS!

MAGG,
I've just looked at the House on Telegraph Poster on Emovie and I cannot see that defect on the poster. You can just faintly see a white slit but nothing that big.
Hopefully Bruce will get back to you on this.

Hi Marc,
eMovie did get back to me about this. I had this note this morning:
This is Bruce. Obviously, that small piece became detached after it was photographed, and since I am sure you are telling the truth, it must have fallen off AFTER it was condition graded here, but BEFORE it was put in your package.
That is very sad, but as we guarantee all we auction, you can now return it for a full refund, including return shipping (see those instructions below). I will re-photograph it and re-auction it as my consignment, and I will take the loss.
That is so very kind of them. I am surprised that Bruce is doing this. But, Yippie! Now I can search for that poster in better condition. Yahoo!!! Perhaps 2020 won't be as bad as it initially seemed.
CHEERS!

I'm not surprised Bruce is doing this. He's a great guy who gives GREAT customer service.
Congrats on getting it all sorted MAGG.

This is Bruce. Obviously, that small piece became detached after it was photographed, and since I am sure you are telling the truth, it must have fallen off AFTER it was condition graded here, but BEFORE it was put in your package.
That is very sad, but as we guarantee all we auction, you can now return it for a full refund, including return shipping (see those instructions below). I will re-photograph it and re-auction it as my consignment, and I will take the loss.
That is so very kind of them. I am surprised that Bruce is doing this. But, Yippie! Now I can search for that poster in better condition. Yahoo!!! Perhaps 2020 won't be as bad as it initially seemed.
CHEERS!

She Freak is looking good framed, Monster! Bruce treating our Monster right means all is well in West Plains! Okie

Welcome comrades, to the latest installment of the SHOCK-O-RAMA POSTER SHOW. While there is nothing all that awe-inspiring or unusual or rare...I think it will keep your interest, and hopefully you won't find yourself nodding off.

MARC: Yes, Bruce and his eMovieposter.com auction house are the best. I've been buying from them for more than 20 years. I've gotten a LOT of great stuff through them. Hands down, they are my favorite.
OKIE: Hi there. I'm glad you like the framed SHE FREAK. I think she is heading for a guest room wall very soon. Ha!
Okay, have you got a bottle of vodka and a big bowl of borscht ready? Then let the show begin...
VIY (Russian re-release):
Last spring, I had a chance to visit a friend who lives in Russia (You can read about my visit HERE: https://theshockingtruestoryofmonsteragogo.wordpress.com/2019/04/22/europe-2019-part-2-from-russia-with-love/ (https://theshockingtruestoryofmonsteragogo.wordpress.com/2019/04/22/europe-2019-part-2-from-russia-with-love/)). Not long after my return, I became aware of a movie called VIY. VIY is the first-ever Russian horror movie. The movie had some good atmosphere and some creepy effects, but was ultimately kind of silly and dated. (The titular demon doesn't show up until the very end...and he/it is very laughable. Ha!) I still liked the flick, though. This popped up on eMovie not long ago. It is an 80's re-release poster for the film. (The film itself hails from the mid-1960s.) I got it for my Russian friend as a gift. (He told me he grew up watching VIY on TV as a child and has fond memories of the film). However, he is not a movie poster kind o' guy. SO, I may end up hanging on to it. I wouldn't mind at all. As a special salute to VIY and my Russian friend and my chance to visit Russia, all of my gifs this time (except for the one at the top--the "Soviet Film Agency" thang is sort of a joke) are from VIY. Ha! Enjoy.

CHARLIE'S ANGELS (2019) (Final style):
Don't judge. As a kid, I loved the original CHARLIE'S ANGELS TV show. I liked the first remake film (but the second one was...uh, lame) and I (believe it or not) liked the short-lived TV remake series a few years back. When a new reboot movie was announced, I was excited. When it started crashing and burning, I wasn't surprised since the source material was 40+ years old. I finally saw it before it disappeared entirely and...well, okay. It was CRAP! But I liked the idea behind it...although it was still crap. So why buy the poster? Because I'm a spazoid and I have posters for the other two CHARLIE'S ANGELS movies. I do have to give Jaclyn Smith props for making the briefest of cameo appearances in this one though, sort of tying all of the incarnations together....although that is just me being a nerd fan boy...er, nerd fan old geezer.

VIVA DJANGO (aka DJANGO PREPARE A COFFIN) (Italian re-release):
I've never seen the original DJANGO or any of the fake sequels (unauthorized sequels or movies where the titles were changed and the dialogue were re-dubbed to turn them into sequels). The only DJANGO I've seen is Tarantino's (That was the last of his movies I actually liked. Sorry. I wasn't too keen on INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, HATEFUL EIGHT, or ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD. Scandalous, I know...) However, I did buy all of these DVDs with the various fake DJANGO flicks (and the real original DJANGO) a while back... I just have not watched them yet. I am relatively sure the movie for this poster is included in the DVDs I purchased. I'm just not a fan of westerns. SNORE! I don't even know what I was thinking buying this poster. Oh well... Ha!

PROM NIGHT (French):
Jamie Lee Curtis once referred to this movie as DISCO DEATH. Ha! This early entry into the 80's slasher craze is rather predictable, but is still fun. I dig it...especially when Jamie gets her bad self down to a disco beat. Too funny. Fun French art. Ooo la la.

THE BURNING (French):
Another French poster---this time for the ultimate FRIDAY THE 13TH ripoff, THE BURNING. The US one sheet was one of the first dozen or so posters I had back in the day, but this art is completely different. If you haven't seen this, you should. A lot of stars got their big break in this one. Holly Hunter, Jason Alexander, and Fisher Stevens all made their debut in the film. Leah Ayres, who was the fake Marcia Brady on THE BRADYS, is also in this. The notorious Harvey Weinstein is credited for story idea and producing. Horror effects maestro Tom Savini was also involved with the project.

SLAUGHTERHOUSE (Video Poster):
I usually do not buy video posters---but sometime you have to buy video posters as no theatrical posters exist (for those direct-to-video releases). That is what I thought the case was with this one--but I have since learned that there was a theatrical release for this flick and there are theatrical one sheets for it as well. UGH! I can't cross that off my shopping list yet...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nG3cMX8y8tQ/XiGASsWMKPI/AAAAAAAASwU/GDZtOQFNQtEjEbYx--cpecCV6n-wd9uRACPcBGAYYCw/s640/Slaughterhouse.jpg)

SUBSPECIES (Video):
Speaking of video posters, I picked up this cheap-o. It looked kind of like it might be a spooky fun movie. Who knows? And--unless someone out there corrects me again, I do NOT think this ever had a theatrical release. Hence--the video poster.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ynEdheS-BjI/Xi_xBUSF4yI/AAAAAAAATZM/abq_VQKYxsoK0T_W2bWcT_ERQJ6ApqJiACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Subspecies%2Bvideo.jpg)

PIGS (aka DADDY'S DEADLY DARLING, ROADSIDE TORTURE CHAMBER, THE STRANGE LOVE EXORCIST, etc.):
I saw this flick in the '80's at the drive-in. Little did I know that it was a re-release from 1973 and had originally been called DADDY'S DEADLY DARLING. I later found out it was also released under such titles as ROADSIDE TORTURE CHAMBER and THE STRANGE LOVE EXORCIST. But it is total crap. Ha! The friends who saw this with me used to joke about this for years. Why buy the poster if it is such an awful movie? Just look at the poster. It screens that it's going to be a great exploitation flick. It's a total bogus lie, but what great art and such lurid language. Zowie! How could I have not wanted to see this movie back in the day? You may also notice that Katherine Ross is listed as being in the film (and, as I recall, was mentioned in all of the commercials for it). It turns out, that it's a Katherine Ross but not the Katharine Ross (of THE GRADUATE fame). Ha! Producer/director Marc Lawrence also stars in this with his adult daughter Toni Lawrence in the lead role as this deranged chick with a daddy complex. I already have a copy of this somewhere, but I bought it for a lot more money than I paid for this one. This one belongs in the all-time exploitation hall of shame. It suckered me into going. Ha!

DEAD ALIVE:
I was absentmindedly looking through posters in eMovieposter's Fixed Price section and I passed by this one for DEAD ALIVE. I continued looking and then stopped dead in my tracks. Hello? I've seen DEAD ALIVE several times, but do I have the poster? No, I don't think so. Especially since I was always under the assumption it was a direct-to-video import. It had a theatrical release and there are one sheets? SOLD!!!

SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS:
Yes, this is a real movie and I’ve wanted this poster for a long while. Yahoo! It is mine. The movie isn’t so good, though (Best part about it is the poster). However, I may be wrong. In my head I am forever mixing it up...well, blending it together, actually...with the original SATAN’S SCHOOL FOR GIRLS, which is a TV movie starring pre-CHARLIE’S ANGELS Kate Jackson (who is also in the TV remake) and Cheryl Ladd. Neither are in this, but THE MUNSTERS Yvonne DeCarlo and genre veteran John Carradine are. And this one has cheerleaders....and a witch! Love the tag line: Funnier than THE OMEN. Scarier than SILENT MOVIE. Ha!

And there (above) is the demon VIY, making his grand entrance. That must signal the end of this episode of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. Thank you for visiting and come back again soon. Now, quick! Run away before VIY and his assorted demons attack you...and do unspeakable things to you. Oh my! Oooo...looks like it's a bit too late. Oh well.

Hello!
Thank you for visiting. I'm having a medical procedure done tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be fine. (REALLY!) BUT...just in case, I thought I I'd go ahead and post any and everything new--from new posters to newly framed posters. It's a (short) regular post PLUS a (short) update all in one. There is sooooo NOTHING exciting here...but hello? I just posted a day or two ago. Cut me some slack.

Anyway, here you go-go:
TIME COP:
I have no interest in this poster, no interest in Jean Claude Van Damme or any of his movies. Why do I have this? The seller I got this from had a buy 2-get 1 free deal. This was the free one. Nothing else at all appealed to me. At least this one has some sort of sci-fi element. The seller was selling both video posters and one sheets. This would appear to be a one sheet---no mention of a video company or it being on DVD/VHS/etc. But as I'm not a Van Damme fan, I really don't know. I'm guessing it is a theatrical one sheet---but I could be wrong. (But then, what else would be new?)

BLOOD SALVAGE (video?):
I've never seen this, but it was sleazy, cheesy and CHEAP! I recently posted about being okay with some video posters as not all movies have theatrical one sheets (i.e. direct to video releases). I believe this is a direct-to-video release, so this is probably a video release poster...but I'm not sure.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--GE3RGmkw_U/XjCe2jYO1uI/AAAAAAAATZ8/JT6acum0oYEbi-QUwNB5rabtbwvwqyy4wCEwYBhgL/s1600/Blood%2BSalvage.jpg)

FROM DUSK TILL DAWN 2: TEXAS BLOOD MONEY (video?):
I have a theatrical one sheet for the original FROM DUSK TILL DAWN. I stumbled on this and thought why NOT get the posters for the two sequels as well? This was cheap (and the reason I didn't get the poster for the third one is because the only ones I saw were priced higher than I wanted to pay for direct-to-video sequel poster). I don't believe there was a theatrical release for this flick and I am fairly certain this is a video poster...but I'm not sure. Zowie! I've realized just now I'm NOT that versed in video posters. (Usually they say they are available on videocassette or something like that. This one doesn't. Hmm...)

STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER:
As I have in the past, I picked up this STAR WARS poster as an investment for the future. Hopefully. I did finally see this flick. Fortunately I saw this in the very last local showing of the film in our 4DX theater. As I'm not the biggest fan of the series, I was a bit lost in the plot...so the ride-like quality of the 4DX presentation made it feel like I was on a 2 1/2 hour version of the STAR TOURS ride at Disneyland somewhat. Ha! That helped.

That's it for the "new" stuff.
THE HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL:
Remember the issue with the recently purchased THE HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL poster? I was heartsick seeing that hole in it when I had wanted it for so long....but today I got word that eMovieposter.com received the poster back and they've credited my purchase price back to PayPal for me. They offered to refund my postage as well, but I was just glad they took the return and told them they did not need to include the postage (I can return a nice favor, too, ya know...). It all worked out swell...except now I have to hunt for another copy. Waaaagh!
Here are my recently framed posters:
MAY:
This is a great little movie that no one has seen. Angela Bettis is awesome in her pre-CARRIE TV remake role. I'd have loved to have gotten a rolled version of the poster, but I have only ever seen this one available.

THE CAULDRON OF BLOOD:
Also known as RICCO and MEAN MACHINE, this flick looks like a pretty grisly little horror flick. It's actually a GODFATHER knockoff about revenge against the Mafia and not a horror film at all. But the poster art...ZOWIE! How gruesome and horrific. There is a vat of acid in the flick, but nude woman ends up in it...just some mafia goons. Ha! Another great poster that shamelessly suckers people into buying a repackaged bunch o' old goods. I'd have fallen for it. I love the art. Starring Chris Mitchum and Barbara Bouchet.

SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS:
Yippie! This recent purchase looks great behind plexiglass. I can not wait to hang it. It will go in the living room or hallway---and whatever it kicks off the walls will end up on the guest room wall eventually. This is such a silly/awesome poster. Ha! I love it.

RE-ANIMATOR (art style):
Cult classic film based on H. P. Lovecraft's work that should have had better sequels than it did. This the alternative art version of the posters and is my favorite of the two styles. (I do have the other version as well...but this one just screams out for framing).

MANIAC:
I remember when this came out. Many newspapers would not carry the ads featuring the gruesome scalps and bloody knife. Just like DAWN OF THE DEAD and I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, it was one of those films that was released unrated. I wanted to see this movie so bad. Of course, I had to wait until several years later to see it. With gory special effects by Tom Savini, it was well worth the wait. Classic 80s slasher sleaze with Caroline Munro and Joe Spinell.

And that is all for now.
Wish me luck tomorrow....eeeek!
Hopefully I'll be back again soon.

Hello there! You are just in time. I've been perusing the newspaper ads again, looking for some deliriously wild movies to check out. I've got the posters for 10 prospects below. Let's take a look at them and see if anything strikes your fancy...or maybe bites your fancy? EEEK! Not all of them are horror, but try to keep an open mind. I'll save you a seat if you want to quickly rush to the snack bar. Just mind the sticky floor when you come back.

Ready? Got your Jujubes and Junior Mints? Thanks for getting me a Coke Icee. Okay, sit down. The show is starting now...
PARANORMAN (Canadian):
I think I already have the very similar US one sheet. I saw this flick in the theater (I was the only adult there that was not accompanied by children. Ha!). I don't remember much about it--except there were zombies in it. But the poster is fun and it was cheap ($3). Why not?

DISASTER:
I have a couple of copies of this old, forgotten disaster movie from 1948. I was/am a huge fan of the disaster flicks of the 1970s. I came across a half sheet for this (with very different art) years ago and wondered what the flick was like? I've never been able to see the film (which is apparently about an airplane crashing into a skyscraper and the rescue attempt that follows), but did come across the one sheet a few times. I just found a place I can order a DVD-r. Hmm. Should I?

WATCH ME WHEN I KILL:
I already have a copy of this. Why buy another? Well, I've been posting my posters on Instagram (as theshockoramapostershow Click here: https://www.instagram.com/theshockoramapostershow/ (https://www.instagram.com/theshockoramapostershow/) ). That is actually a great way (is it better than my blog perhaps?) to share my collection...because you can just scroll through and SEE EVERYTHING. As of this writing, I only have 469 posts...but that hardly scratched the surface of my collection. Anyway, some dick-wad, who I don't know and have never communicated with, posted a few very rude and totally snarky comments, one of them on the post about another copy of this poster. I was appalled. I tried to respond and answer his comments. He responded with another snarky comment...and I thought to myself, Why does he feel the need to do this? Who needs that BS? So I blocked him. Bye bye, A-Hole. He was complaining that I was a "poser," collecting posters for movies I hadn't ever seen before, why not leave them for the real fans? First of all, no, I have not seen every movie I have posters for---but I try. (I hadn't seen this flick, but have the DVD. I'll get to it eventually). Not all movies are available to be seen, with films like MME OLGA'S MASSAGE PARLOR and the bulk of Andy Milligan's softcore flicks (THE FILTHY FIVE, GUTTER TRASH, TRICKS OF THE TRADE, etc.) being "lost". Some movies I have posters for I never knew existed until I came across the poster! I love movies, but I am a POSTER COLLECTOR. I collect posters. If I see a poster I like, I buy it (or try to...). Anyway, the butthead who posted those comments was lamenting that he wanted a copy of this poster, etc. etc. etc. Hello? They are not that hard to find and not that expensive. I came across this one on eBay and put it in my watch list. It was there nearly a week before I decided to just buy it to spite that jerk. I didn't need it---but he (if he could even figure out how to search for it) isn't getting it either. GRR! I can't believe how irked that idiot made me.

SLAUGHTERHOUSE:
A short while back, I posted a new acquisition of a SLAUGHTERHOUSE video poster. I thought the flick went straight to video. Oops! Imagine my surprise when I found out it HAD had a theatrical release. I had to go back to the drawing board... well, at least go shopping again. Found a theatrical one sheet finally. I can call it a day on this title.

THE FLAMBOYANT SEX:
See the torridly "sexy" finger scene! Oh my! Who doesn't need a poster with such a scandalous bit of verbiage like that on it? Ha! And it is distributed by Shawn International Inc. Ha! How Go-Go groovy! Even Paris was SHOCKED! Some pot-boiler nudie from 1963. It was super cheap so I thought I'd buy to resell down the road.

SANTA SANGRE:
I LOVE this movie. I already have this one sheet (I think), but wanted a second copy just in case I'm mistaken. Alejandro Jorodowsky is BRILLIANT. This was the first film of his I ever saw...and you know what they say about your first time... Ha! I do like (and have) the original VHS video poster for this better than the one sheet...but still, it's SANTA SANGRE. It's such a great movie. I'm thrilled to have this and it MUST go on my walls very soon.

THE SHED:
This is a new-ish film. I looked it up when I saw this poster for sale. The trailer is on YouTube. It looks like a little independent flick that is playing art houses and festivals, trying to make a name for itself. It looked interesting enough to invest in this poster for it...in case it ever does take off. It will probably disappear into obscurity (much like HELL NIGHT, which I really enjoyed and was sure would become a cult hit). Oh well...

NO TIME TO DIE (Advance):
The new James Bond poster? Hello? Love my 007. I have US one sheets for all of the films, so I needed this one as well. It was a bit pricey (and a rather dull poster to boot), but it IS Bond. James Bond. I hope the final poster is far more interesting than this snoozeriffic advance... But if the previous posters for Daniel Craig's Bond adventures are any indication, I shouldn't get my hopes too high. Oh well...

PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN:
This looks like an interesting (and timely...???) twist on psycho/serial killer flicks. Great poster art. How could you NOT love it?

VAMPYRES (Spanish):
Arguably the best poster in this batch was one I wasn't even going to bother to bid on...until the last few minutes of the auction. I'm kind of done with foreign posters for the most part. The sizes are all different, making them more difficult to frame. With the US stuff, depending on when they were made, there is only an inch different in sizes. I've got frames for both sizes. However, the art on this was so groovy (spooky castle, bats, gravestones, and scantily clad vampire chicks with blood dripping down their mouths), I went for it. I paid more than I wanted---but what a fun poster. There is a sucker born every minute...or would that be suckee in relation to vampire movies and their posters?

Okay kids. That is it for today. I hope a few things grabbed your fancy...or perhaps tickled it? (Sadly there is nothing "fancy" about mine. Sigh...)
Have a fabulous fancy-ful day! See you next time.
CHEERS!
PS It looks like I left off the picture of my newly-framed MANIAC poster in my previous post. Here it is:

Greetings! Welcome. You DARED to return for more vintage movie poster shocks, horrors and surprises, huh? It is a pretty mixed bag this time, but I do hope you enjoy your visit. There are 11 (yes, a BONUS poster) this time. It may be my last post of this type for a long, long while, so I wanted to get everything up I've recently gotten. Why is it my last new poster purchase post for a long time? Well, I'll get to all of that later.

THAT'LL BE THE DAY (British quad):
I was totally unfamiliar with this title (that apparently was successful enough to spawn a sequel called STARDUST) when I spotted this British quad. It's a little rough (missing a corner) and not anything I wanted really. It just came with the quad below it (which I wanted). Sooo... I think the illustration of David Essex looks more like Paul Le Mat as he looked in AMERICAN GRAFFITI. I love the ad on the bottom (see below) advertising the movie's soundtrack album from Ronco. Oh my stars! RONCO? Does anyone else remember Ronco? Ha!

HITCH HIKE (aka DEATH DRIVE) (British quad):
Despite the horrendous art, this was the quad I was going for when I got THAT'LL BE THE DAY. HITCH HIKE, for those unfamiliar with it, is another LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT knockoff, albeit set in a car. Corinne ("Story of O"/"Moonraker") Clery and Franco (the original "DJANGO"/"THE LAST SHARK HUNTER") Nero star along with David Hess, who is essentially playing the Krug part he originated in LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT as a hitchhiker who terrorizes the couple who pick him up.

RAMBO-THE LAST MAN (?!?) (Thai):
A guy on Instagram named grindhousecellar ( https://www.instagram.com/grindhousecellar/ (https://www.instagram.com/grindhousecellar/) ) turned me on to this joyfully bizarre Turkish RAMBO ripoff called KORKUSUZ (RAMPAGE). When I came across this poster, I knew it wasn't a Stallone RAMBO flick. But I don't think it is KORKUSUZ either. A little more digging revealed that there are several bogus RAMBO imitations out there. In fact, there are two different Turkish RAMBO ripoffs (VAHSI KAN is the Turkish version of FIRST BLOOD) out there and others from other countries. There are the Bruno Mattei's STRIKE COMMANDO (with Reb Brown)and STRIKE COMMANDO 2 (with Brent Huff). There is something called DEADLY PREY that it might be. Based on the illustration, my guess is that this poster is for one of the two RAMBO-ish films starring a guy named Peter O'Brian. One film is the incredibly awesome, so-bad-it's-good flick THE INTRUDER (in which his character's name is Rambu instead of Rambo). His other is film is called THE STABILIZER (like a mix of RAMBO and THE EQUILIZER in Indonesia). But I'm not even sure of that is correct. The plane in the upper left corner throws me off. I don't recall seeing it in any of them. Perhaps there are even more outrageous RAMBO ripoffs out there? Any ideas?

THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE and IN THE DEVIL'S GARDEN (re-release combo):
I already have a copy of this poster as well,,,but the coloring is different on my other copy. Mine is black and the darker green only. The lighter green on this poster is all the darker green (I think...) or perhaps it is a different shade of green. Something about this is different color-wise. But either way, it is still a cool poster. IN THE DEVIL'S GARDEN (1971) was originally known as ASSAULT, but underwent a title change to sound more diabolical for its re-release pairing up with THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE (1972) after the success of THE EXORCIST.

PITUITARY HUNTER (!?!) (Thai):
Holy crap. What is this gross-out, gonzo Thai (?) movie? PITUITARY HUNTER? With a picture of a person with part of their skull removed, a bared brain and a needle poking into it? Zowie! You don't see junk like that on American one sheets. Ha! Bizarre-o-rama! It was cheap-ish, so SOLD!

FACES OF DEATH 4 (Thai):
I had no idea any of the FACES OF DEATH flicks ever played theatrically anywhere. Although they are partially faked "shockumentaries" (with real news/police footage as well), they are not my cup o' tea at all. However, when I saw this, I knew it must be rare. I am looking at movie posters all of the time and have never before seen one for any of the FACES OF DEATH flicks. Ever. So, I snatched this one up. Freaky image.

LEGEND OF HORROR and DIABOLIC WEDDING (combo):
This is a super looking double feature poster. I have no idea what MAGICMATION might be--and yet, BOTH films are said to be in it. Golly gee. My only guess as to what MAGICMATION might be is how the films were made. Both are anthology films. LEGEND OF HORROR features a segment that was from an Argentinean film. (The rest was filmed in the USA). DIABOLIC WEDDING features a segment shot here in the US but the rest of the film was shot in Peru. Perhaps the MAGICMATION refers to the part American/Part South American nature of the films? I don't know. But I like the gimmick of MAGICMATION (whatever it might be) and it's kind of a fun double feature one sheet. Why not?

A VIRGIN AMONG THE LIVING DEAD (Large French):
Here is my prize for this listing, a large-style French poster for Jess Franco's A VIRGIN AMONG THE LIVING DEAD. Oh my stars! I have wanted one of these for years! The art on this is just incredible. Wow! Wow! WOW!!! I can't believe I finally scored one. Yahoo!

And that is all for now, kiddies. I'll be back---but I am taking a long break from poster buying. Things have come up and I find I really must just step back for a bit until I get some issues settled and under control. I will still post if I have any interesting updates or projects to share, but as far as buying new posters---that will just have to wait. (In fact, I'll be doing just the opposite. One of the things I plan on doing during my "hiatus" is weeding out my collection and finding stuff to send to auction and/or sell on (fl)e(a)Bay.) In the mean time, I've been re-posting my posters (only have about 500 up so far---tons and tones more to go. UGH!) on Instagram. I didn't think I'd ever use Instagram, but it is a great way to see all of my posters all at once just by scrolling down. But, for some reason, I've already been banned from leaving descriptions on my posts or "liking" anything on my page or on anyone else's. Ha! Anyway, check it out if you like.

CHEERS!

Hi MAGG, congratulations on getting the Virgin poster. I'm liking Satan's cheerleaders hey hey thumbsup.gif and also Vampyr
-
A Virgin Among the Living Dead is really nice, great art on that one.
What film is the gif underneath the poster from (that poor ladies face sliding off)?
-
STEVE: You are ALIVE! Ha! It figures you'd dig the VAMPYRES and SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS posters. Hee hee hee! Same ol' Steve. Nice to see ya!
TOB: Thank you for the visit. I'm glad you especially like the A VIRGIN AMONG THE LIVING DEAD poster. That is a super thrill for me to find. Alas, I am sorry...but I have no idea what movie that gif you asked about comes from.
CHEERS!

First time looking through this thread.
Just from a quick browse it's clear you have one hell of a collection GoGo, very impressed with the number of posters you own but also the variety in posters, awesome collection notworthy.gif
-
Hi John,
Thank you for perusing my thread. I have a LOT of posters--but don't be so impressed. A lot of my collection is trash...and I know it. I have some good stuff, but the bulk is crap (HERBIE GOES BANANAS, for example). Ha! But I appreciate you looking through it all and leaving a note. Come back again any time.
-
the gif with the womans face coming off is from Return to House on Haunted Hill (2007) - from image search, not my memory thumbup
-
redman: Zowie! An image search? I had no idea such a thing was possible. (I also had no idea they made a sequel to the HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL remake either)
Thanks!

Crap? Herbie Goes Bananas?! Man, I loved those Herbie movies when they came out, Monster. We need more love bugs. Okie
-
Hey Okie! Ugh... I have to get in the shower and get ready for work. Happy daylight savings time hour loss. BLAH!! I only saw the first 2 HERBIE movies. We need more Love Bugs? I don't know if HERBIE would fly in this day and age. The reboot a few years back with what's-her-name (Lindsey Lohan) bombed. Maybe today's "Love Bug" movies would have to be something like HERPES GOES BANANAS? Or maybe Herbie and Christine can have an evil automotive love child in FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 86: CRUISIN' FOR BLOOD. Ignore me... blame it on sleep deprivation. UGH. Off to shower and a 12-hour day on the hospital floors. O' the joy...
CHEERS!

I like your creative Love Bug thinkin', Monster! I bet if a new Herbie movie was a vehicle (pun only slightly intended) for Herbie rather than one for an actor/actress/ensemble, Herbie might have a chance at being great. Interestingly, the 2005 Herbie movie is listed as almost tripling its original investment. That surprised me, too! Okie
-
The box office surprised me. I looked into it further. That $144 was worldwide. It only made $60million here. On a $55 million budget, despite doing overall okay Internationaly, that is no hit.

Sorry to use your thread as a platform, Monster, but Herbie! Herbie! Herbie! P.S. Great Thai posters, I Love NY, and the genius of Melies! Okie

Okie---use my thread however you like. Glad you dig the Thai stuff, the F13P8 advance and the Milies gif. Ha! Cha-cha-cha!

Hi there. Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. The last time we met, I announced that I was stepping back from poster shopping for a while---and was actually planning to weed out my collection and send stuff off to auction, as I was getting into dire financial straits. Then the coronavirus situation happened. Crap. Selling things is on hold. Because I am a nurse and will probably have to deal with the virus directly in the very near future, I decided to go ahead and prep the next Shock-O-Rama Poster Show (even though there isn't much in it) in case I get sick. I am older, with underlying health issues and male...in other words, I fit the profile of 70% of those who have died so far. Yep, I'm SCREWED.

Is this my swan song? I certainly hope NOT. It's not the best example to go out on. We will have to wait and see (but if I never post again--um--you'll know why...).
Let's take a look and see what (CRAP) I have today...

WHO IS KILLING THE GREAT CHEFS OF EUROPE:
This was part of a lot of posters all containing the word "Who" in the title. It is a dull poster and I am sure I have another copy somewhere. This is not even a shot of the actual poster---just one to fill the void for now. The auction house didn't bother to take a photo of it---that's how unexciting this poster is. Oh well.

WHO SLEW AUNTIE ROO?:
I have a copy of this already. Shelly Winters, Mark Lester, Ralph Richardson and Lionel Jeffries star in this forgettable early 70s horror.

WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR?:
Sal Mineo and Juliet Prowse star in this flick (and poster). I've never seen the flick (I can't find it) but have heard good things about it. Any good? (Never mind. Found a bootleg DVD place online that has it and I've given it an order...)

HALLOWEEN (2007 remake):
This (and the 2 below) were at auction and I scored them for $1 (with a $19 buyer's premium, of course). I was NO FAN of the Rob Zombie HALLOWEEN flicks, but I do have to say that the poster for the 2007 HALLOWEEN was nicely done. I have one already...but why not a cheap extra copy? Why not indeed.

HALLOWEEN 2 (2009 remake teaser):
I disliked the HALLOWEEN remake, but the HALLOWEEN 2 remake was beyond awful. What the hell was with that ghost horse??? HUH??? Whatever...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Otfi5Pk6dxc/XoGbUlcUk4I/AAAAAAAAXE8/Q4M8P-mXEXAs_05cZQQ6q4sb2-ywsrYkgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Halloween%2B2%2Bremake%2BA.jpg)

HALLOWEEN 2 (2009 remake advance):
This is the reason I bought the three HALLOWEEN poster lot. NOT that I liked the movie (HATED IT), but although I am sure I have the other style of poster for this sequel, I am NOT sure I had this style. I do now. DONE.

HOUSE OF EXORCISM:
I love my EXORCIST ripoffs. My fave would be BEYOND THE DOOR, probably...but this one is a close 2nd. Mario Bava is uncredited as the director because his film, LISA AND THE DEVIL, (although it is a nifty film as it is) was deemed unreleasable. It taken back, re-tooled, had some new exorcism crap added in and a different ending added on and voila...HOUSE OF EXORCISM. Telly Savalas walks around with a lollipop as a creepy butler. Elke Sommer goes full on Linda Blair and vomits up frogs. Robert Alda (Alan's dad) is the exorcist. It's very Italian/European, but also very different. I have one of these posters already...but this one went for only $1 (plus the $19 buyer's premium). Zowie! Why buy it? Was it the power of Christ compelling me or did the devil make me do it? Either way, I am happy to have yet another copy.

STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (Advance):
Did I need this? It was just affordable, so...into the future resell pile it goes. (Hmm... How long before the newer STAR WARS titles start to get pricey? Or will they?) Eh... probably wasted the cash on this one. Oh well...

BLOODBATH AT THE HOUSE OF DEATH (Australian daybill):
I had never heard of this flick before stumbling on to this daybill. Vincent Price stars (or perhaps it is just a glorified cameo?). I appreciate the double meaning in the tag line: "The movie that took a lot of guts to make." Clever... I can't seem to find a release of it over here though. Hmm.

S.O.S. TIDAL WAVE:
I am most excited about this poster. As a big disaster movie fan, I was delighted to finally snag a copy of the one sheet for this 1939 flick. It is actually available on BluRay and I just got a copy, so hopefully I'll get to watch it very soon. I'm NOT expecting much, but am still thrilled I'll get to see it.

CHEERS!
-
Nice update, MAGG! I like the questions posed by the first 3 posters :) I like the art for 'Bloodbath at the House of Death' and 'SOS Tidal Wave', very nice.
-
Tob, thank you for visiting. The posters this time were not much. I wasn't "into it" this time as I was holding back from buying for the most part. Everything here i got really, really cheap (well, the SOS TIDAL WAVE wasn't cheap, but it wasn't crazy expensive either and I "needed" it).
CHEERS!
-
Hi Monster! That's got to be the scariest image of Telly Savalas I've ever seen and that includes all of the scenes of him getting massages, baby! Stick a lollipop in Elke and then off to self isolate in the Player's Club! Okie
-
Telly says to tell you, "Who loves you, baby?"
I hope you are staying safe and well.
Thanks for visiting.
CHEERS!

Greetings! Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. I really have no money right now and have no business buying anything. However, my birthday was coming up (It's TODAY, actually). As I will spend this birthday alone, trapped in my house with the world held hostage by the coronavirus outbreak, I thought I'd buy myself a few little tidbits and make it a somewhat fun birthday party for one. (And to think, last year I was celebrating in Rome! Ha!) Oh well. It is what it is...and I'm NOT dead (yet). So, whoo hoo and happy birthday to me. Let's unwrap my poster presents and see what exciting (or not so exciting...) things I got myself...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FseGUsj4AVY/Xowa8W6xgMI/AAAAAAAAXd8/UdZ3lVrtTZkm7NSZxcRc-NwX9ICjoA3ugCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/thumb_let-the-happybirthday-posts-begin-quickmeme-com-scary-birthday-meme-49956349.png)
CHARLIE'S ANGELS (2019 reboot International version):
UGH!!! Buying this was a total accident. Sure, although I was NOT a fan of the 2019 reboot of CHARLIE'S ANGELS (it had potential, but...), I loved the original series as a kid, I loved the first reboot with Drew Barrymore (the sequel---eh...), and I actually liked the short-lived remake series that was on 3 or 4 years ago. I did bid on this. As an ANGELS fan in general, I thought it would be nice to have (and is better than the version I scored a while back). So how was buying this an accident if I bid on it? I'll tell you... My computer (desktop) has that auto fill feature, which is sometimes great and sometimes a disaster. I meant to bid $13 at the very most (expecting it to go less than $10 really). When I later checked my bids to see what I was winning, what I was losing and what my top bid amount was, I was startled to see that instead of $13 for CHARLIE'S ANGELS, it said my top bid was $137. CRAP!!! But I calmed down. CHARLIE'S ANGELS 2019? Who would want it? And then it bumped up from $7 to $10...and then $10 to $13. Eek! There was no action after that and it got closer and closer to ending...about a minute to go and then $15. Yikes! The auction reset to five minutes and started counting down again. It was near zero and then...$19. ARGH!!!! Fortunately it did NOT go higher than that---but I so did NOT mean to buy this for that price. Crap...

THE LOST WORLD OF SINBAD:
I have another copy or two of this floating around. Did I need another? NO! UGH! Why do I always do this? GRR. Anyway, for those who may not know, this film is not really a Sinbad flick. It is a Japanese fantasy that has Sinbad-like qualities, so a distributor (American International Pictures) bought it, redubbed and turned it into a Sinbad story. (A similar thing happened to a non-Sinbad Russian folktale movie, SADKO, that magically transformed into a Sinbad flick and was released here as THE MAGIC VOYAGE OF SINBAD.)

INVASION OF THE BLOOD FARMERS:
I have a couple of copies of this poster. This flick isn't that well known and is certainly low budget, but I dig it. Fun poster too. Someone also told me that the guy who directed this also played the yeti monster in SHRIEK OF THE MUTILATED. Ha! That is too funny.

LIGHTHOUSE and EVIL DEAD (2002 re-release British quad):
While I am not familiar with LIGHTHOUSE, I do know THE EVIL DEAD, of course. So I thought I should get this... But...it's not the most exciting quad ever. Oh well....

GALACTIC GIGOLO:
I stumbled on this cheap poster from an Urban Classics release. Urban Classics is that studio that pumped out films like SLAVEGIRLS FROM BEYOND INFINITY and SORORITY BABES IN THE SLIMEBALL BOWL-A-RAMA during the VHS era, with many of their movies, like this one apparently, getting theatrical releases. I'd never heard of this title though. Any good?

HIGH VOLTAGE (aka THE ELECTRIC CHAIR):
This is a smaller-sized one sheet, cheaply printed. I'm not sure if this is re-release with a re-titling or an original release with an alternate title. Either way, I'm delighted to have a piece of cinematic sleaze history. This film is notorious for its cheapness and exploitation factor. Wish I could track it down and see it. Oooo! Look and ye shall find. Apparently Code Red released this on BluRay a while back and there was one waiting for me uber-cheap on eBay. Fabulous!

HAWK, THE SLAYER (British quad):
I came across this recently but have never seen the movie. I quickly read about it before I bought the poster. It sounds like bad movie paradise. I snatched it up and am anxious to see the flick. Is it the wondrous crapfest I hope it is? The DVD is on its way to me, so I can find out for myself. Yippie!

DRACULA 3-D:
I already have a bad copy of this poster. It is a bad copy because it got seriously munched in the mail and I've been after one ever since. I've not seen Dario Argento's DRACULA 3D, but I have heard it's no SUSPIRIA. I've actually heard it's crap. BUT it IS an Argento film and, sucker that I am for gimmicks, it's a poster for a 3D film. I'm happy to finally get a nice copy.

FROM BEYOND (Spanish):
A long while back, I accidentally bought a pressbook (instead of a poster) for the Spanish release of FROM BEYOND with this same artwork. At the time, I thought I WAS buying a poster. Oops. I blame it on my lack of understanding of Spanish. But who cares now that I actually DO have the poster? Ha! Wild, way-out art. Freaky cool.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1978 re-release British quad):
Zowie! Just a few weeks (months?) back, I bought one of these that turned out to be a fake reprint. I got a refund from the seller (who later said he had gotten it from T.LocePosters. Duh! Beware!), but I still wanted this particular poster. Lo' and behold...one fell into my lap-o-rama the other evening. Hooray! I trust this one is legit as it is coming from Heritage. Happy birthday, self.

And that is it for now. Nothing super exciting (except I really wanted that NOTLD poster. Hooray!), but... Thanks for joining me for my virtual birthday. I hope you had a swell time. I know I did.

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. Tonight's show is about ready to launch. You may want to grab a snack...or maybe something a little stronger? This one is going to be a tough one to sit through. It's a total crap fest. SNORE!
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SrTxMCvzG7o/Xo9tvq_F_rI/AAAAAAAAXoY/Lp5cHURKT3k-TnY_nNlp51xs01i7FHRsQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/FortunateEntireBighornedsheep-max-1mb.gif)
Okay--let's get this done ASAP...
TWO WEEKS IN SEPTEMBER:
My 2nd or 3rd (4th?) Brigitte Bardot poster...and, I'm sorry, but the posters for her films are not that eye catching. Blah.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TleCMyYsqJo/Xo03-ugTydI/AAAAAAAAXhw/Xuyowi4sc00UcR9PcGoOfGv89JD01FvuQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Two%2BWeeks%2BIn%2BSeptember.jpg)

TEEN VAMP:
I had never heard of this, but the poster was cheap and rolled. I do like the license plate on the car, "BLOODMBL". Clever. The poster kind of makes it look like Archie goes vampire...RIVERDALE meets VAMPIRE DIARIES, perhaps?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fyWTvq03QpU/Xo9qV2zq4VI/AAAAAAAAXoA/SGA_0QeV4WECPokVs0vPieIZDgQogTR1ACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/MOVIH4724__78746.1541882745.jpg)

SAMSON AND DELILAH (1968 re-release):
Normally I would have passed on a biblical epic poster (snore). However, I think this 1968 re-release poster is trying to ride on the coattails of the HERCULES/peplum/gladiator flicks of the 60s--which I think are a hoot (more or less). Plus it was super cheap so...why not?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HFYRt1V75oM/Xo9qV-PE7jI/AAAAAAAAXoE/M3ysCXl4MNIuwnNVbYHPDQSOxuz9HCANQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/s-l1600.jpg)

BAD CHANNELS (Video):
Oh my stars. Ha! This is a bad (cheesy bad) Charles Band schlockfest from the 80s about an alien (that pile of poop-looking guy under the word "channels") who becomes a DJ at a small town radio station to find women to send back to his planet. Huh? Exactly! MTV original VJ Martha Quinn stars. Yes, this is a video poster. I don't believe this flick ever had a theatrical release (but I may be wrong...).

NETHERWORLD (video):
Yes, this is a video poster. I don't believe this flick ever played theatrically either. I saw this back in the day on VHS. I remember specifically renting this from The Video Zone. Ha! The poster is cool looking. The movie? Not so much... Oh well. It is nostalgia for me (and was cheap--less than $5. Ha!)
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pKEdV3W5Wbg/XppV7fwy84I/AAAAAAAAYLM/6rWteuurV908Y4N8kULhaifLnrqveYr4QCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/Netherworld%2Bvideo%2B%2Bbbbbb.jpg)

THE CRAVING:
This US release poster for one of Paul Naschy's werewolf flick is better known as NIGHT OF THE WEREWOLF. I somehow completely missed this release in the early 80s. Did it even play in my town? Probably not. Rolled poster--not bad. (Director Jack Molina is also Naschy).
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4nGnIJFFJj0/Xo9qV5XtvTI/AAAAAAAAXn8/OwLKoWLaTO05xmvRItM5bOj5qbvJ9zIjgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/91F9qadpZmL._AC_SY879_.jpg)

THE EVICTORS:
I only just recently saw this flick. It was a bonus movie on the 2-disc release of the original THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN (which I also just watched for the first time). Both films (by Charles (THE LEGEND OF BOGEY CREEK) Pierce were good--but not great--with SUNDOWN being the better of the two. Still, when I came across this poster and saw that it was going cheap, I thought why not?

GIDGET:
You are probably shaking you head over this. GIDGET? Really? Yes, really. I am a fan of the Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello BEACH PARTY movie series. If it weren't for the success of GIDGET (the film and the book series), the BEACH PARTY series may never have happened. Sandra Dee stars as the Girl mIDGET (get it?). Cliff Robertson is the Big Kahuna. James Darren is Moondoggy, the only original actor to star in all three films in the GIDGET series. (And, yes, I have posters for GIDGET GOES HAWAIIAN and GIDGET GOES TO ROME). Fun fact--GIDGET is based on a real person, the daughter of novelist Frederick Kohner.

CLASS OF 1999 (video one sheet):
This is a sequel to THE CLASS OF 1984 (from 1982). Yes, it is a video poster. I liked it better than the one sheet (but the European version is way better than this one). This film was kind of TERMINATOR meets ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK in my eye. This poster was also cheap---like most of the other stuff in my post today. I really need to bow out of poster buying for a while (as I had planned before the virus hit). I'm trying to finish this batch o' 10 posters off as quickly and as cheaply as possible. Hence, this video poster and a lot of the other crapola I'm sharing today...

THE WOLF MAN (1962 military re-release):
Wow! WOW! W-O-W!!! Getting any paper on Universal's classic monsters is impossible and totally out of my price range/grasp. Even the re-release stuff is insanely high. The military stuff was more reasonable, but even that is now expensive. I almost had to pass on this, but I was sure I'd never have another chance at this. It was far more than I could afford right now---but I could NOT let it go-go. (Blame it on a full moon, perhaps?) This is my first WOLF MAN anything. Zowie! And what a classic horror cast!?! Lon Chaney, Bela Lugosi, Evelyn Ankers, Claude Rains, Ralph Belamy, Maria Duspenskaya. And it's a tri-fold in super condition. This WILL be framed and hanging on my walls ASAP. (Who ever thought anyone could be this excited over a military poster? Ha!)

Thank you for visiting. I will be back with projects and other news, but it will probably be a long while before I'm back with new posters. Stay SAFE!
That's all for now. It's time for me to blast off and get outta here.

Congratulations on the military Wolfman poster, Monster! Very cool. I forgot Salvador Dali's Gypsy moustache club made an appearance. Okie

The Salvador Dali's Gypsy Mustache Club member is the real reason I bought this poster. How very astute (ass-toot?) of you to figure that out. Glad you like it.
Stay well, my friend.

Welcome to another edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. It's a bargain basement smorgasbord today, filled with several "lot" purchases and posters of "iffy" quality. But I'm broke. You've got to take what you can get, right? I actually have 11 in this batch (instead of the usual 10). Because so many are "lot" titles and there's nothing spectacular to see anyway, I just threw all 11 in to this post just to get them out of the way...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_YjqFevNOiE/Xrj34rXiIMI/AAAAAAAAZmQ/pobLuFWj7xIomp_Pvo8_ngT6n-MjR0huwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/giphy%2B%252863%2529.gif)
Okay, we might as well get this over with. Let's take a look...
IGLOO:
This poster has some issues, but...IGLOO? Who ever even HEARD of this flick before? This is one of the "lot" posters, of course. See the mom Eskimo with two suckling babes? I am sure that was put on the poster to draw some sort of audience into this. Zzzzzz I'm bored just thinking of what this movie must be like.

ISLAND OF LOST WOMEN:
This poster looks familiar. I may have another copy. This was a "lot" purchase (as I am sure the other copy---should I have one--was as well).
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bwsZZe1CWKE/XrXkdpqXBAI/AAAAAAAAZec/nXr3wAvAEfwk_3LGBU_LvpAlbbo03ikxQCEwYBhgL/s640/Island%2Bof%2BLost%2BWomen.jpg)

THE MIGHTY JUNGLE:
I do know I have another copy of this poster. I like this poster---but have not seen the flick. This is another "lot" poster.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dUniPckIgfg/XrXkfKl4ImI/AAAAAAAAZeo/zBvJrbE8wgcyOPQUox6iZCNZkIFsGvKJgCEwYBhgL/s640/The%2BMighty%2BJungle.jpg)

THE WORLD'S GREATEST LOVER (Advance):
I love the silent movie era look of this advance poster. I love Gene Wilder, but believe it or not, this is the only one of his films I have never seen--and he wrote/directed it. This is an advance style (Note the "Coming for Christmas" tag on the bottom).
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fgdQIAziPPQ/XrjojYIcqYI/AAAAAAAAZlc/TzkfeUO96tMbRxY1PeMMYVqjnsHepjIigCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/The%2BWorlds%2BGreatest%2BLover.jpg)

WATCH ME WHEN I KILL:
US poster for the Italian import giallo flick. I have a couple of copies of this. They're usually so cheap...but really? Why spend the money again? I don't know why I do that all of the time...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hYBA6NZfQnk/XrXkfpFGCLI/AAAAAAAAZes/Ecci8Tfr3jseKNLHDMi_QJMmT3aQLMN9ACEwYBhgL/s1600/Watch%2BMe%2BWhen%2BI%2BKill.jpg)

RETURN OF CAPTAIN MARVEL (re-release):
I might already have one of these, but I'm not so sure. This is a re-release poster for the old serial RETURN OF CAPTAIN MARVEL. However, it seems that they showed all 12 chapters of the serial at once---so you could see the complete story. Over 4 hours? Zowie! (Or should I say "Shazam"?)

STRANGER IN HOLLYWOOD:
I laughed out loud when I read some of the verbiage on here. "You can't call me a tramp yet...I just got to town mister!" Ha! A true uptight story of a girl on the loose.... makes it sound like a sleazy sexploitation classic, right? It is advertised as if it were one. However, I have since looked this up. Although there is no rating shown on the poster, this thing was rated PG (well, actually, it was "GP" back in those weird early years of the ratings system...). It's about a girl who gets rich and leaves her life behind to run to Hollywood and have fun. It's probably a turd, but I did like the (cheap) poster.

MUTANT (a.k.a. FORBIDDEN WORLD):
When I got this poster, I was thinking it was for the 1984 Wings Hauser schlockfest. But then I realized it was a retitling of FORBIDDEN WORLD from 1982. I had not seen this poster before. Kind of cheap but kind of cool.

WHAT THE PEEPER SAW:
Britt Ekland and Mark Lester star in WHAT THE PEEPER SAW, the Italian psychological thriller from the early 70s.

SAVAGE MUTINY:
Johnny Weissmuller was the first speaking TARZAN. When he got too old for the part, he turned to playing adventurer JUNGLE JIM in a string of films. The posters for JUNGLE JIM movies seem almost as hard to find as the TARZAN posters (if not more so). This one is in pretty rough--but passable--shape. I don't think i had ever seen this poster before...so I snagged it when I came across it.

THE ELECTRONIC LOVER:
This is really a lame poster---but it is in great condition. What the hell is it? It is an obscure nudie from the mid-60s that I became aware of thanks to SOMETHING WEIRD video. The "electronic lover" of the title is a big machine (basically a TV) that broadcasts intimate time of various women when they are alone---like a high tech (for the day) peeping tom. It really is not worth your time....but it had a poster? As lame as it is, I wasn't letting it get away. This is a rarity. (At least, I don't recall seeing any others before...)

And that's our show for today. Really. That's it. I told you it was a bargain basement lot-riddled mess. You really should have cleaned out your navel lint instead of bothering to read through it.
Like last time, I don't anticipate being back again any time soon (with a new purchases post, that is)...unless I come up with more low budget trash like today's offering.
See ya next time, whenever that might be...

Welcome back! Despite the marquee, this edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is NOT going to be a "thriller." Ha! I boo boo-ed again. I've been kind of down about a lot of things lately. So, what do I go and do? Spend WAY TOO MUCH MONEY on several lots from eMovieposter. EEK! Most of the posters are beyond crap (and will never make it into a post). The ones below are, to my taste, somewhat tolerable.
Take a look or run back to the ticket booth now and beg for your money back. Once we get started, there will be no refunds given.
Ready? Set? SNORE...I mean, here we GO-GO!
BONNIE'S KIDS:
I've not seen this flick, but I have seen the poster pop up now and again. I have never really paid much attention to it, thinking (originally) that is was some sort of sexploitation knockoff wannabe"sequel" to BONNIE AND CLYDE...but the car and the clothes are too modern (well, for 1972) for that. So...I don't know what to make of this. As I said, I haven't seen it. I got this in one of my recent lot purchases. But it does have genre vets Tiffany Bolling and Alex Rocco, so it could be interesting.

ALMOST HUMAN:
I have another of these somewhere (I think). This was a lot purchase for the Umberto Lenzi flick one sheet. Creepy cool image, at least. Henry Silva and Ray Lovelock are in it. Too bad it's a crime/cop drama and not a horror flick (which it LOOKS like it should be).
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oz7cc5FLqNU/XsTaxxAJGJI/AAAAAAAAaL8/0dGokWf5dOgdy2peB2OTE6dB2Qa9aYoogCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/IMG_0002_CS07089_B%2B%2Bbbbb.jpg)

I WANT WHAT I WANT:
I know nothing about this sex change (?) or cross dresser (?) flick. This was (surprise! Not.) another lot purchase. I don't know who star Anne Heywood is, but I wondered if she were really a he (or a former he), so I looked her up. Nope. She's a she.. Perhaps they borrow from the HOMICIDAL playbook and have Anne play a boy who becomes a girl, as they (spoiler) did in the William Castle flick? (Jean Arless aka Joan Marshall was the crossdressing psychopath in the Castle flick). It could be fun, but looks like it would be too melodramatic and schmaltzy, like a late-night movie on LIFETIME or something...but certainly no GLEN OR GLENDA? Lot purchase.

ROSEMARY'S KILLER:
Hmm. This is NOT the best looking poster ever. I am delighted with it though. It's the one sheet for a movie better known as THE PROWLER on home video. (Apparently it was also known as THE PITCHFORK OF DEATH at one point. Ha! LOVE that title!) I saw this back in the day on VHS. Farley Granger is in it, but the REAL draw is that the special effects were done by TOM SAVINI. Cult fave Joseph Zito directed it.

HALLOWEEN H20:
I had this already, of course. Now I have several. ARGH! While HALLOWEEN H20 is one of the better sequels in the series, it is one of the lamest posters and, I believe, the first in the series to feature photoshopped heads of the actors instead of real artwork. Because it is one of the better films in the series, I go this poster lot (10 copies of the same thing--HA!) to help in selling some of the crap off in lots of my own on eBay (If I ever get off of my butt and do it. How long have I been saying I was going to do that? Months? YEARS?? Ha!) Whatever...

MOTHER GOOSE' BIRTHDAY PARTY:
I love my kiddie matinee posters...and this one is from K. Gordon Murray, one of the best (er, most notorious?) I have another copy of this somewhere. I remember going to battle bidding on the other copy of this sucker because I had to have it. Now I have this other copy from a lot purchase. Ha! I'm such a dork... In rainbow color. Free prizes to all!

INSEMINOID:
I am reasonably sure I have a copy of this already. Do I? Hmm. I know I have the (better) alternate poster with the woman giving birth in the halls of a spaceship. Zowie! This is an ALIEN ripoff. I saw this a zillion years ago (back in the VHS days, of course). I should track it down and see it again. Stephanie Beacham (DRACULA A.D. 1972, AND NOW THE SCREAMING STARTS, and DYNASTY) stars with Victoria Tennant and Judy Geeson.

EVILS OF THE NIGHT:
I am pretty sure I have one of these. This is a fun poster. Notice the faux, wannabe Millennium Falcon? Ha! Craptastic flick-and just look at that cast! Neville Brand, Aldo Ray, Julie Newmar, John Carradine, and Tina Louise. Zowie!!!

STORY BOOK TEA PARTY:
This was a lot purchase...but, believe it or not, THIS poster was why I bid and bid and BID. I had to have this. I don't believe I've ever seen this crappy kiddie matinee poster before. Like MOTHER GOOSE' BIRTHDAY PARTY, this mess (I haven't seen it, but I am familiar with these films in general) was presented by kiddie matinee / imported Mexican horror movie guru, K. Gordon Murray. Whoo hoo! I LOVE this!

ALLIGATOR (aka THE GREAT ALLIGATOR) (small French):
Out of all of the posters in this posting, this is the only one that was NOT a lot purchase. Yep, I bought this French poster for ALLIGATOR on its own. This is cheesy bad Italian JAWS ripoff (filmed in Sri Lanka) with a giant fake alligator munching on tourists at a resort run by Mel Ferrer. Barbara (from THE SPY WHO LOVED ME, THE UNSEEN, and Mrs. Ringo Starr) Bach and Richard (THE HAUNTING, BEYOND THE DOOR, ZOMBIE) Johnson also star. Directed by Sergio (TORSO, ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK, THE WHIP AND THE BODY, and SLAVE OF THE CANNIBAL GOD) Martino. And--zowie! There's a naked lady (no peeking!) on the poster. Ha!

That's ten...and that is all for this posting. Next time (which will be very, very soon), there'll be even more (WORSE) lot purchases. I know you can't wait. (NOT! HA!)

Bonnie's kids don't look 36-24-35 ... false advertising! rofl1
Alligator with nude woman suitable for 13+ in France... Yea France. Nice poster ;D

Oh man, Monster! Did you really just mix kiddie posters and teen exploitation posters in the same post?! That right there just ain't right! Shock-O-Rama, indeed!
Steve, did you mean in need of "falsie" advertising?

Welcome back... If you paid attention last time (if you bothered to visit last time, that is), you would know that I recently bought several "lots" of assorted posters. So today, it's more of the good, the bad, and the ugly (and how!) from those lots. Stomach distress may occur (from such a lack of taste or anything interesting to look at), so you may want to have a receptacle handy. The management in know way takes responsibility (kind of like our president) if this presentation drives you to drink heavily or abuse yourself in other ways. This isn't quite the bottom of the barrel, but CLOSE to it.
STEVE/50s: I am sorry about the false advertising. I want you to know that i personally called up Tiffany Bolling's agent and told her about her scandalous deception. He guaranteed that she would NEVER falsely give her measurements again in any other sexploitation flicks. Of course, she is 73 now. But that is beside the point... Thanks for visiting.
OKIE: Teen exploitation... Kiddie posters... it's all just poster sludge mixed together in a big poster lot reject soup. Forgotten posters from obscure movies on the fringes of cinema history... Get over it. And thank you for visiting.
Okay, without further adieu, here are the posters...
KISS ME, KILL ME:
Oh my stars! This is some of the WORST poster art I have ever seen (so, of course, I had to share it). What were the studio execs thinking? Did someone have a kid that they thought was an artistic genius or something? Yikes! Robert Carradine and Linda Hamilton should have sued over their likenesses...or lack there of. The more I looked at this mess (which was included in a lot purchase, of course), the more I found to be surprised about. Kristine DeBell was in this? And...directed by Nick Castle? THE Nick Castle? "The Shape" from the original HALLOWEEN? Huh? Sure enough, it was him...and this poster is a bogus re-titling of TAG: THE ASSASSINATION GAME. Why isn't that movie available? I remember reading about it years ago. I wanted to see it, but it never came to town. As far as I know, it has only been made available on DVD via bootleg companies. What's the problem? Is it as bad as this poster? I've actually heard and read good things about it. Why was it "assassinated" from home video? Hmm.

BILL AND COO:
Oh lord...this looks just awful. And this is a "special Academy Award winner"? What did it win? Most unbelievable crap? I like my kiddie matinee posters...but this isn't quite that. Featuring Burton's Love Birds and Jimmy the Crow (Jim Crow? Really? Oh my...). Zowie! Where are the sequels? UGH. (Yes--this is a lot purchase.)
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3BQqVDRqgFA/XsYTMPx0G6I/AAAAAAAAaQw/z4njyqINK_k0tDnvL3NZCafz_f891GrXwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_0021_EB08298_B%2Bbbbbb.jpg)

THE RUNAWAY:
I have no idea what this movie is like. Another lot purchase. "Not wanted by two countries! A bordertown boy and a pup from a bad littler!" Jinkies! I hope he doesn't end up in one of Trump's migrant detention centers. This movie looks like it is probably overly melodramatic ("Share the excitement...the laughter...the tears"). It'd probably make me wanna barf...or at least gag heavily. Ha! This flick seems to be pretty much forgotten. Who has ever even heard of this? I found it on IMDB. This quote was in the trivia section: "About 80% of the script was filmed with a crew of five with a stand-in for Cesar Romero." Ha! (Of course, the trivia section says the film was never released and ended up just going to TV...which makes no sense because I have the poster. But whatever...) Oh well--it's a bit of movie obscura from 1961. And it stars Mike, the world's fastest dog! Zowie! Ha!
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aG2UfJGiejA/XsYTM1aRcKI/AAAAAAAAaRA/3-DARlAbClYIQ9H1JFd-EAG8zaRAQgq5wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_0023_EB08298_B%2Bbbbbbb.jpg)
This part of the poster had me doing a double take? "A search to find someone...somewhere...to love!" Oh my! Does Cesar Romero play a (gasp!) pedophile in this or something? SHOCKING!!! Oh... Double take... DUH! The kid needs someone. He's a runaway. I get it. I guess my 21st century mindset has me a bit jaded...

DEADEYE DEWEY AND THE ARKANSAS KID:
This was a lot purchase...and also, it turns out, a poster for a Charles B. Pierce movie (under a different name). Pierce is best known for THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREAK (his first film) and THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN. This flick (starring Chuck Pierce Jr.) was his second film and is better known as BOOTLEGGERS (it even mentions it was previously called that below the title here). Original CHARLIE'S ANGELS star Jaclyn Smith is in this. Odd little curio for fans of Pierce's work.

OPERATION CAMEL:
Another lot item. I know nothing about the movie, but found the poster fun. And, darn it all... I recognize the artist's work from other things, but I can NOT remember who it is. ARGH! Starring no one you've ever heard of. Hmm. Most of the names look foreign. Perhaps it's an import? An American International Picture imported a lot. Yep. I just looked it up. It is Danish. The original version was in color. The release here was in glorious (aka cheap-o) black and white. Good ol' A.I.P.--gotta stretch that dollar!

INVASION OF THE FLESH HUNTERS:
I'm pretty sure I have this already. There are two posters for INVASION OF THE FLESH HUNTERS (actually there are three, if you count it's better/alternate title, CANNIBALS IN THE STREETS). This is the least interesting of them. Ha! Genre fave John Saxon stars.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oHYJg_YKITA/XsYTNuFNHGI/AAAAAAAAaRM/ZXzLmp2nj-wfnVlAOcy1HOtt1otGBuSzwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_0026_CS07089_B%2B%2B%2Bbbbb.jpg)

CHINO:
I was never (Gasp!) a big Charles Bronson fan. I've never seen CHINO (this was a lot purchase, of course). His wife, Jill Ireland, co-stars. The poster says it is a "Dino DeLaurentiis film" yet right next to that it says "produced and directed by John Sturges". Okay...

BREATHLESS:
I'm fairly certain I have one of these as well... Richard Gere, hot on the heels of his success in AMERICAN GIGOLO and AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN returned in the remake of the 1960 French film of the same name (In France, it was called A BOUT DE SOUFFLE). The film did have some cool style. The poster...eh.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF TIME:
This was a lot poster--and kind of lame looking...but I am so thrilled to get this. I've been wanting one for a while. Yes this film is essentially a remake/ripoff of THE TIME TRAVELERS from three years earlier--but this is still cheesy in its own fun way. And the poster is so bargain basement craptastic--I love it! (Although the poster for THE TIME TRAVELERS is way better...).

ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON:
I believe I have another copy of this ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON poster. This was a lot purchase as well...but this poster is, at least, cool. The skull-headed cop aiming a gun at you is classic. Have I seen this film? No...but it looks like exploitation heaven.

Okay kiddies, that is the show for the day. Total crap-o-rama.. I hope you were able to stomach it all and endure. The sad thing is that I still have a LOT more lot purchases to post...and many of them are just as bad as some of those that appeared today. (There are worse ones, believe it or not, but I will SPARE you having to wade through those...) I'll see you next time (if you dare to return, that is...). Thank you, as always, for visiting.

Hello and welcome back. "Show of the century"? Is that what you are expecting? Um... I suppose if it is the only poster show you see in a century, it would be the "show of the century"...but otherwise? Uh... Um... Well... Not everything lives up to its hype. In other words, get ready to be utterly disappointed!
Yes, it's more of my lot purchases, curated pointlessly (as who is going to bother to read my blather for such uninteresting posters?) and proudly (NOT) displayed for your viewing...uh, enjoyment (or something like that).
Yeah...I'd skip out about now if I were you. Move along. Move along. You ain't missin' much here.
Okay...if you truly are a glutton for punishment and you really want to see what horrors...er, fine pieces of cinematic promotional art I have in store for you today, let's begin... (But don't say I didn't warn you.)
A DAY AT THE WHITE HOUSE:
I knew nothing about this lot purchase poster. I had never even heard of the flick. Thinking it was some silly sex comedy from the early 70's, I looked it up on IMDB. Oh my stars! It sounds jaw-droppingly bizarre...but I'm guessing it must be really, REALLY awful as something like this would surely find a distributor on DVD/BluRay today. The description reads:
"A woman sent by the President of the United States to infiltrate and bring down the Los Angeles porn industry instead falls in love with the well-endowed founder of the city's only rental house for animal sex performers."
I'm NOT kidding. Look it up yourself. Ha! The only cast member I recognized on IMDB was Lori Saunders from PETTICOAT JUNCTION. The bulk of the others seem to be character actors, but no one I recognize.
At least the art is kind of fun... (or not.)

GET ROLLIN':
I got one of these a few years ago (I've actually had several come my way, I think...). Has anyone ever seen this flick? When i got my first copy, I was kind of jazzed in a campy way. It looked like a roller disco movie (i.e. ROLLER BOOGIE, SKATETOWN USA, XANADU) that I hadn't heard of. It might be a hoot.
Wikipedia said it was about roller disco---but was a documentary. (!?!) IMDB also lists it as a documentary/drama and gave a bit more detail with this brief description:
"The story of 'Pat the Cat' Richardson, Vincent 'Vinzerrelli' Brown and Inez Daniels, three people whose colorful lives revolve around the local roller rink in Brooklyn."
Other sources say that the movie follows certain individuals whose dream it is to be professional roller disco stars. Oh my... The movie must be a hoot. Too bad that roller disco was already a faded fad by 1980 when this came out. I was too young for the roller disco thang. I was barely in my teens when it was popular. But I would love to see the film. It would bring me so much joy, I think -- for all of the wrong reasons.

WILD WILD WINTER:
It's a BEACH PARTY ripoff (or, perhaps a SKI PARTY ripoff, which came the year before) set on skis in the winter. I have this poster already. This was another lot purchase. The film stars Gary Clarke, who was on THE VIRGINIANS. I never saw that. Instead, I know him best for stepping into Michael Landon's TEENAGE WEREWOLF shoes in the quasi-sequel HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER (with TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN's Gary Conway). The real reason to see this would be to see mid-60 pop stars JAY AND THE AMERICANS, THE BEAU BRUMMELS, DICK AND DEE DEE and THE ASTRONAUTS performing.

NIGHT TRAIN TO TERROR:
I'm fairly certain I already have a copy of this lot poster purchase...not that the art on it is all that interesting. John Phillip Law, Cameron Mitchell and Richard Moll (from TV's NIGHT COURT, but for some reason billed as Charles Moll) star. I saw this back in the VHS days. As I recall, the movie is made up of three unfinished films cut into shorter versions and presented as some sort of anthology. I remember that part but not that the bridging parts on the train (where the stories are being told) were between the devil and God (as I read on IMDB). Hmm. If I remember correctly, there was a band on the train, too...oh duh! They are mentioned in the poster's tag line. Ha! It was forgettable...but interesting that it apparently actually got a release into theaters.

MAN FROM DEEP RIVER:
I have several copies of this poster. This copy was a lot purchase, of course. This is an Umberto Lenzi flick with Ivan Rassimov and Me Me Lay and is notorious for being the initial film in the cannibal sub-genre of Italian cinema of the 70s and 80s, even though there is no cannibalism in this flick. Also known as SACRIFICE.

THE CREATURES:
Another lot poster purchase...but kind of a fun poster. Peter Cushing, Diana Dors, Donald Pleasence, Lesley-Anne Down and David Warner star in this Amicus Productions anthology that may be better known as FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PwsMVyioOaM/XshUvJs-5kI/AAAAAAAAaVY/ooekjNnaAY4HvfVNhTZCgLzxDFImsq6dgCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/IMG_0011_CS07090_B%2Bbbbb.jpg)

DEMON WITCH CHILD:
DEMON WITCH CHILD is Spanish filmmaker Amando de Ossorio's take on THE EXORCIST/possession movies. So, of course, I've seen it...and have the poster already. This was a lot purchase, but I have bought this poster a couple of times on its own (Why do I do that? UGH! Maybe I'm possessed? Ha!) De Ossorio is known for the four BLIND DEAD films. This film? Not such a big following... Oh well.

I CROSSED THE COLOR LINE:
This is a minor exploitation classic by the late, great trash impresario Ted V. Mikels (THE CORPSE GRINDERS, ASTRO-ZOMBIES, etc.). This was a lot purchase and I would rather have the poster for the alternate title (THE BLACK KLANSMAN...not to be confused with Spike Lee's excellent BLACKKKLANSMAN), but I am super thrilled to have this one. Hooray! I'm sure audiences were shocked and outraged when this first came out in 1966. Ha! It's sad that stuff like what is depicted in the film actually happened (and probably still happens), but it is exploitation gold to me.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SLZSbxvCZsw/XshUslby1TI/AAAAAAAAaVE/eK06oW4oWksmuhN-eMXqLdTRefOPdVSKwCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/IMG_0003_EB08298_B%2Bbbbb.jpg)

INVASION OF THE FLESH HUNTERS:
I have this poster already. This was another lot purchase. I had previously posted the alternate poster for this film...which isn't nearly as nice. There is one more poster with the alternate title CANNIBALS IN THE STREET. John Saxon stars. As I recall, (I saw this back in the VHS days) this is the story of some Vietnam vets who were exposed to some chemical or other agent that turns them into out-of-their-minds cannibals. EEK! It isn't as good as it sounds. Ha!
This is the best poster for the film (I think).

And there you have it, ten more total trash...er, masterpieces of movie marketing. (Sooooo NOT TRUE!) And guess what? I have even MORE lot posters to share. Whoopie!
Thanks for visiting. I'll be back soon. (TOO soon.) (NO, that was NOT a threat...) You can stick along longer if you'd like. Hello? Hello? HELLO?

Welcome back. You MUST be a glutton for punishment as I am still in the midst of dumping...er, gracefully sharing my recent lot poster purchases. There is nothing interesting to see. REALLY. Most of the posters in this post are copies of things I already had before from previous purchases, so I am basically sharing them again. But since you are here...and it is a bargain matinee day...go ahead and grab a seat. The show is about to begin...

ESCAPE FROM DEATH ROW:
Another lot poster...and this one I include, not because it's a good movie (never seen it/heard of it) or even a good poster. I include it because it is another example of horrendous poster art. WHO approved this crap...or maybe I just never realized Lee Van Cleef had 16 arms before. (If you think there are only 8, look again. Each gun has two hands on it.) And what is the big fissure for? Is this part disaster movie or something? Miserable fail. (At least I think so...)

CARNIVAL MAGIC:
I have a few copies of this---and this copy was an auction lot purchase. This flick was just recently re-issued on DVD/BluRay by Severin alone and/or as part of the Al Adamson Masterpiece Set. Al Adamson was a b-movie (or worse) director of such flicks as SATAN'S SADIST, BLOOD OF GHASTLY HORROR, BLAZING STEWARDESSES, and DRACULA VS FRANKENSTEIN. CARNIVAL MAGIC came towards the end of his career. It's a kiddie film more or less and stars Alexander the Great ("The Talking Chimpanze") and Don (Who?) Stewart (Star of CBS-TV's THE GUIDING LIGHT). The poster is colorful...but that is about it.

THE BRIDE:
This is probably better known today under the moniker that Code Red released it as, LAST HOUSE ON MASSACRE STREET. It was also known as THE HOUSE THAT CRIED MURDER. I saw it a while back on some multi-movie set of public domain flicks, and yes....that's about where it belonged. This is a pretty forgettable horror yard about a psycho bride. The dead characters come back as non-spooky ghosts, if I remember correctly. It was pretty weak. The poster is the best part of the movie---and even that is not so great. But...this was from an auction lot purchase. What are you gonna do?

TERROR AT RED WOLF INN:
Another forgotten horror flick. This was a lot poster purchase, but I already had a copy I believe. I'm sure I saw this and it was okay---but had a bad TV movie-like feel to it. Ha! A bunch of young women are at an inn (more like someone's house) after receiving a free trip there. They become friends and are disappointed each morning when one of the bunch has had to leave early in the morning before anyone else (except for the kindly old couple who run the place) was awake. There's lots of meat at dinner, The old couple can't let their guests go hungry...

TORSO:
I already had this poster...but... I finally saw this not too long back...and was disappointed. I remember as a kid when this came out. Ooooo I so wanted to see it, but never got to. It was okay--but I think I had it so built up in my mind that seeing it finally was disappointing. It's an Italian flick from the early 70s--so expect that aspect of it. Directed by Sergio Martino.

CRITTERS:
I already had this poster when I got this lot... It's such a bad poster for a fun movie that is more or less a GREMLINS knockoff. The title CRITTERS are hiding under the structure the people are standing on...and you can't even really see them. SNORE! Bad design, but no one asked me.

GAME OF SURVIVAL:
I had this poster already...and the one for its re-titling, TENEMENT. Grindhouse legend Roberta Findlay directs. Media Blasters/Shriek Show have this out on an uncut BluRay with the combined title TENEMENT: GAME OF SURVIVAL. It has a cult following.

SAVAGE INTRUDER:
Vinegar Syndrome recently released this to DVD/BluRay under the alternate title (Did they come up with it?) HOLLYWOOD HORROR HOUSE. This 1970 horror yarn stars Miriam Hopkins (she was in the original DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE with Fredric March in 1931) in her last film role...playing a former movie star. The Three Stooges' "Curly" Joe Besser and Gale Sondergarard (who was originally cast as the Wicked Witch of the West in the 1939 MGM version of THE WIZARD OF OZ before Victor Fleming was hired and thought she was far too glamorous for the role) also star. I have not seen it yet, but Vinegar Syndrome has a sale on this weekend and I ordered my copy. Yahoo! I have long wanted to give this a watch...

CANNIBALS IN THE STREETS:
This is the alternate title for INVASION OF THE FLESH HUNTERS (which is the better title). John Saxon stars. This poster is not that exciting, certainly not as good as one of the styles for the alternate title.

THE CONCRETE JUNGLE:
This is another auction lot purchase...that I was actually thrilled to get. I've been wanting one of these--I may have one already, but I don't think so. Is there anything more exploitative than women in prison movies? This one stars Jill St. John (from the James Bond flick DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER), Peter Brown (RIDE THE WILD SURF and the TV series LAREDO), Nita Talbot (HOGAN'S HEROES and AMITYVILLE 1992: IT'S ABOUT TIME), and CAMILLE KEATON (I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE and its sequel). The director is Tom DeSimone, who is known for a handful of minor exploitation classics (HELL NIGHT, REFORM SCHOOL GIRLS) but mostly for (usually gay) porn (THE IDOL, SONS OF SATAN and the 3D epic HEAVY EQUIPMENT). I know him best for the amazing sequence (the entire plane portion) in TERROR IN THE JUNGLE from 1968 that plays like a mini-precursor to the AIRPORT flicks that would come later. THE CONCRETE JUNGLE is a bit more upscale than most women in prison movies---but is still exploitation gold.

Hey! GoGo,
While it's pretty clear you don't rate a lot of these posters you've shown lately I just wanted to give you full marks for the way you show them all, you show them all in a very fun way, most of them are worth a quick look even if it's just to read some of your amusing comments about them, and to be fair they are not all bad anyway.
I would imagine the majority of poster collector's on here would admit to buying the odd dud here & there (myself included). thumbsup.gif

I like to look at the poster first then read the comment. Escape from death row commentary made me laugh after seeing the image, yes poster is pretty bad. Yea, concrete jungle poster looks good, wondering what girl on floor is holding (a pillow?)

Welcome back. Today's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show still finds us mired in auction lot purchase poster land...and we have some dismal (and not so dismal) posters to lay your eyes upon...if you bother to proceed.
Test1: How delightful to have you stop in and say hello. I'm glad you like my blather. Even though a lot of the posters are nothing special, I still try to curate them somewhat. I'm glad you appreciate my efforts...and I appreciate the visit as well. Stop by any time. CHEERS!
50s/Steve: Hi there. Always a pleasure seeing you here. And, of course, you'd like THE CONCRETE JUNGLE poster. Ha! I'm guessing HOME MOVIES or ZAPPED--such as they are--will be your faves of the current (underwhelming) batch. Thank you for visiting. Glad you got a laugh from ESCAPE FROM DEATH ROW. I'm still shocked by what a crappy poster it is...
The show is about to start. Please make your way to the theater. No running. Watch your step...

WALK OF THE DEAD:
It took me a while to figure out what this movie really was. It was an auction lot purchase, of course. I have other copies of this from other lot purchases in the past. But WALK OF THE DEAD? Never heard of it other than the poster. Hmm. I saw the star was Richard Nashy...couldn't find him, but went with a hunch. Could it be Spanish horror star Paul Naschy with a lost-in-translation name? I looked on IMDB and sure enough there it was, listed as an alternate title for 1973's VENGEANCE OF THE ZOMBIES. Mystery solved.

SCORE:
This was in one of my recent lot purchases. For some reason I've seen this boring (and orange!) poster go for a decent price...and I have no idea why. I am fairly certain I saw this ages ago in the VHS era...and was bored. Radley Metzger fans probably know something I don't...or maybe I saw something else or an alternate version? Whatever...it's an ugly poster.

COLOR ME DEAD:
Here is a lot poster I don't think i owned already. It's got an interesting title I don't think I was familiar with. However, I'm guessing this is more noir-ish/crime/detective than horror.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VPgjYlftyqQ/XsoXdqSNccI/AAAAAAAAaig/KthkEKW7f8cjktALYKlQ9FgO_kFxT3i9ACPcBGAYYCw/s1600/IMG_0044_EB08298_B%2B%2Bbbbbb.jpg)

ZAPPED:
What would a lot purchase be without a copy of ZAPPED stuck in it? Ugh. Scott Baio and Willie Aames star is one of the dumbest of teen comedies. Believe it or not, there was a ZAPPED 2 (that no one saw or remembers).
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ah4OCvIoRTc/XsoXbaVLawI/AAAAAAAAaiM/KTbVPoQA5QkIRwWnLEjkrO8HYAFVfL0ZwCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/IMG_0022_EB08298_B%2Bbbbb.jpg)

KIDNAP SYNDICATE:
This lot poster I did not have already. James Mason stars in what looks like a Euro crime drama. I just looked it up...it's from Italy from 1975...and is apparently based on a true story.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EvpGoe0zRJI/XsoXbloCCAI/AAAAAAAAaiQ/f3XLtvzlpEcZgpAjPxwMdW1Km_LQVmZegCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/IMG_0023_CS07089_B%2B%2Bbbbbb.jpg)

YELLOWBEARD:
I remember seeing this flick back in the day...and being disappointed. I'm sure it may be a fine film. However, when I saw it, I remember being delighted by the MONTY PYTHON connections to the film (co-written by and starring Graham Chapman, with Eric Idle and John Cleese). I was expecting it to be MONTY PYTHON-esque...and it wasn't. What it was...I don't recall. I just remember being bummed out by the non-MONTY PYTHON-ness of it all. The poster was part of a lot purchase, of course. Using the top of a bald head as a map was amusing. Beyond that, there's not much to say about the image. Great cast though...

HOME MOVIES:
When I was looking through the junk...er, fine art posters that made up the auction lots I had purchased, I came upon this. HOME MOVIES? Never heard of it...but it's by Brian DePalma? Huh? An it's a comedy? It stars Nancy Allen, Kirk Douglas, Vincent Gardenia, Garrit Graham? What? That it also starred Kieth Gordon made me realize this must have been fairly close to DRESSED TO KILL, but this flick? Pino Donaggio did the score? HOW did I miss it? I guess something good DID come from the lots I purchased. I learned this film exists. It apparently was a big flop-a-rama though. IMDB says its budget was $400,000 and it made $89,134. THAT'S how I missed it...

YOUNG HANNAH - QUEEN OF THE VAMPIRES:
This is also known as CRYPT OF THE LIVING DEAD and I am reasonably sure I have copies of the posters for both titles. (Although the poster of CRYPT OF THE LIVING DEAD is better, I think. The cartoon dialogue bubbles with the bad puns really sinks this version.) Andrew Prine and Mark Damon star.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hwYOpOJm_2I/XsoXa8Ga0yI/AAAAAAAAaiA/reDhfiR_l_UF1a7PX6rSsp9Yzytrl-80wCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/IMG_0015_CS07090_B%2Bbbbbb.jpg)

FROZEN ALIVE:
Oh, this movie is painfully bad. UGH! The poster is decent and is the best thing about the movie probably. Really. Staring a Swanson's frozen dinner might be just as interesting... (But the poster is nice).
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PLwuE5NY1FE/XsoXdOgYMSI/AAAAAAAAaic/7exQh6UzH38L64FJGuoiPfdXPOAK0DgYgCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/IMG_0043_EB08298_B%2B%2Bbbbb.jpg)

BLUEBEARD'S 10 HONEYMOONS:
When I first saw another copy of the poster, I was fascinated. I had to have it, even though I had only learned of the film's existence at that moment. The copy I got then was not is great shape. Even though I have yet to see this flick, I am thrilled to have this copy of the poster. It looks fantastic. Another lot buy ...but I'm happy with this poster. Starring George Sanders, this one was apparently directed by Billy Wilder's brother and written by his nephew. And based on the real "Bluebeard" (Henri-Desire Landru) who killed about 18 women between 1914 and 1918. EEK!

And thus you have survived one more bout of lot poster purchases. O' the joy... Do you think you can stomach another batch? Do you have guts of steel? I've got one more batch o' lot posters left to post. Most of them are bottom of the barrel nothings (and know that there are still others that will not see the light of day on my posts. EEK!). Come back...if you are brave enough.
See you then. Thank you for visiting.

CHEERS!

Hi Monster, Interesting you showed your Yellowbeard poster. Just last night I watched Graham Chapman's interview on Letterman when Chapman was promoting Yellowbeard. Chapman was wearing a very, very open unbuttoned shirt and talked about his personal life. Juxtaposed against The Meaning of Life interviews with his fellow Pythons, it was much more serious. Okie

Zapped looks like a good movie. Gotta be hard to improve with Zapped 2. I like art
Home Movies... what's that Dad at Work frame... Looks dodgy!
Great score getting Bluebeard thumbsup.gif skeletons look good and the 1 to 10 comments down the side are a bit of a shocker!

Welcome back. This, I promise, is the final post of "lot" purchases. And let me tell you, I really had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to come up with 10. In fact, some of the ones I ended up going with were going to be relegated to the so-bad-I'll-never-share-them pile. However, I did not have 10 I was willing to share...so several of these shown are coming from that poster dung heap I was trying to spare you from. Sorry.
OKIE: How interesting you saw that interview...as I had just watched it as well. Ha! Thanks for visiting, as usual.
50s/STEVE: You're becoming a regular again. I like that. The selection today is the absolute WORST of the lot purchases (that I'll bother to share). I doubt you will like any of them...except for the first one, which I posted with YOU in mind. Ha!
Okay...what do you say? You were brave enough to visit. Let's get this over and done with. Here we go-go:

THE CONTEST:
Apparently this is an alternate title for MISS NUDE AMERICA or MISS NUDE AMERICA CONTEST. This is a documentary, according to IMDB. I would have guessed this was fiction. Is there really a Naked City in Indiana? Ha! This was a lot purchase.

THREE ON A SPREE:
I had not heard of this flick from 1961 when I got the poster in a lot bundle. I like the old school look of it...but the actors? Never heard of anyone on the credits. It was either a low-budget flick or an import. The United Artists logo made me think the latter...and when I looked it up, sure enough, it is from the UK...and apparently a take on BREWSTER'S MILLIONS (1935).

HOW DO I LOVE THEE:
I'd never heard of this movie, but the cast was impressive; Jackie Gleason, Maureen O'Hara, Shelley Winters and Rosemary Forsyth. I'm guessing it was forgettable and not a hit? Yes, this really is the bottom of the barrel.

THE MAN WHO WOULD NOT DIE:
Another flick I've not heard of...but has an interesting title. Dorothy Malone, Keenan Wynn and Aldo Ray star....and there is a shark on the poster. Ooooo...

I'LL TAKE SWEDEN:
Fun cast on this on... Bob Hope, Tuesday Weld, Frankie Avalon and Dina Merrill star in I'LL TAKE SWEDEN. I've not seen this flick---this is yet another auction lot purchase--but it looks fun. Yah... Yah... Yah!!!* (*Yeah...Yeah... Yeah!!!)

KHARTOUM:
Renato Fratini is the artist on this poster. He did a foreign (Italian? British?) FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, the 1962 Hammer PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and a lot of the CARRY ON posters, 1972's ANTHONY AND CLEOPATRA and the Italian poster for INVADERS FROM MARS, to name a few. But KHARTOUM? Anyone know this title? The poster is nice, but the movie is unknown to me. It looks like some epic movie with a incredible production values... But how is it? Sight And Sound Magazine said it is "beautifully photographed, lavishly mounted, intelligently acted, but ultimately dull." 'Nuff said, I guess. Great cast....but still. This was another lot poster.

BLOODRAGE:
I had no idea what this was when I found it in the auction lot. BLOODRAGE? Hmm. The poster is weak, so I was just going to disregard it...and then I noticed Joseph Zito was attached to it and Lawrence Tierny was in it. Huh? I looked it up and it is a horror flick...however, it's a very obscure one from 1980. It is apparently about a small town country bumpkin who kills a hooker...then runs away to New York City, so he can kill more of them. One review likened it to a no-budget TAXI DRIVER ripoff. Looks and sounds like a totally unpleasant sleaze fest...

DOUBLE EXPOSURE:
I thought I knew this picture. However, when I looked it up...nope. Don't know it at all. Interesting cast, including Joanna Pettet, James Stacy, Cleavon Little, Pamela Hensley, and Michael Callan. It is apparently about a photographer who starts to experience dreams in which he murders the models he photographs. Interesting poster though...NOT great, but interesting (for all of 5 seconds). Another lot purchase.

WARLOCK:
I remember seeing this back in the day. Julian Sands starred. I don't remember much about it, other than it was "okay." There was a sequel with Julian Sands---but the storyline was altered somehow and I didn't like it as much. It doesn't matter. No one remembers this movie (or its sequel) anyway... This is just a lot poster.

THE LIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD:
I've seen this poster now and again---never got it. Never saw the movie. But seeing that it is based on the works of Jules Verne--and has an A list cast--I've been curious about it. But, unlike JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH or 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA where you have fantasy and science fiction and a general use of the imagination, when I read about this one, it sounds like a dull love triangle drama, set in a lighthouse at the southern tip of South America. SNORE! The novel it was based on was published posthumously based on a rough first draft. Whatever excitement Verne may have been planning for the story may not have made it in to the book--or movie. The poster is colorful and fascinating. It makes the film at least LOOK exciting. From what I read, the film was a FLOP. (Which is probably why this poster was a lot poster...)

That's it. TOTAL GARBAGE. Some of these posters are so bad, I'd love to social distance from them---forever more. (And don't forget, there is a whole slew of stinkers you did NOT see...)
Thank you for visiting, though. It is always a pleasure having you.
Now, without further ado, let's end this puppy. Maybe we can just pretend this post was all a bad dream...

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 (https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/monsterkidclassichorrorforum/ (https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/monsterkidclassichorrorforum/)) . The forum has a movie poster page (of course) (https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/monsterkidclassichorrorforum/viewtopic.php?p=1550435#p1550435 (https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/monsterkidclassichorrorforum/viewtopic.php?p=1550435#p1550435) ). 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. However, if you want to me to say "I told you so" when we get done, feel free to watch this mondo beyond dull edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show unfold. On your marks, get set, SNOOOZE....
LA PASSANTE:
Zzzzz. Oh my stars. Just looking at this poster and knowing I have nine more stinkers to get through leaves me feeling like I can't possibly get through this. Ugh...It is taking all of my strength to even contemplate this turd o' a poster. Yellow? Really? Yellow (and orange and pink) has always just seemed like such an awful color for a poster. The FRIDAY THE 13TH knock off DON'T GO IN THE WOODS has a decent image...but it is stuck on a yellow background which nearly ruins it. Blah! I've heard of Romy Schneider but I don't think I've ever seen her in anything. This is soooo NOT a Monster A GoGo-type poster. A hard PASS on LA PASSANTE.

CHILDREN OF RAGE:
Is this a "review style" or is this the only one sheet this flick had? I've never seen/heard of the movie. It may be a fine film, but for it's sake, I'm hoping this is just the "review style" and it had a nicer poster...because this one is flat out B-O-R-I-N-G!

IT HAPPENED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT:
Another flick I've never heard of...but just look at that utterly forgettable artwork. It's instantly forgettable. Despite the rave reviews, no matter how much the verbiage might pique my interest, I'd have forgotten the title and everything about this film as soon as I walked away from the poster.

WATCH YOUR STERN:
I get the innuendo...but lame poster. This would proudly be displayed NO WHERE. And, hello? It's orange. Drew Struzan should just quit now. How can his work compare with these, uh...doodles? You may "laugh your stern off", but this movie came right out of the poop deck...and needs to be flushed away ASAP. What crap!

THE 5TH DAY OF PEACE:
Richard Johnson and Franco Nero are in this flick (whatever it is)--that is a plus. However, even though this poster boasts that the film is "one of the most bizarre episodes in the annals of military justice", this poster is a fine example of one of the most blah-zarre posters in the annals of movies. Lame.

MARCH OF THE SPRING HARE:
Good lord. Even the poster art guy is bored out of his mind and has fallen asleep.

TRIBUTE:
I actually saw this film when it came out---but not because of this weak poster. Jack Lemmon seems almost embarrassed to be seen on it. He's hunching his shoulders and trying to bury his face. I'm surprised some of those raised hands below him (applauding?) are raising the finger. UGH.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FH10my0mTRg/XtB8KnLeNqI/AAAAAAAAav0/fk4CpYcEij47fhsNbdAOi9SE3jVLh9GgwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/aaaaa%2BIMG_0059_EB08298_B.jpg)

THE GRASSHOPPER:
I know what you are thinking... How could I dislike a poster with Jacqueline Bisset in the shower? It's not like you can see anything. (And, look at it closely. It took me a moment or two to figure out what that man part was. An arm? How is it twisting behind him??? No...that's his bowed back. Duh!) And what else is wrong with it? It's yellow. Blah! Although it looks like it might be a bit on the sexy side (Hubba Hubba), it's produced by Garry Marshall and directed by Jerry Paris...which sounds like it should be a comedy. Whatever. I'm sure Joseph Cotton was thankful for the work.

MY FATHER'S MISTRESS:
Yes, she is attractive. Yes, it apparently is Scandinavian (Look at the cast list...full of names like Ulla, Bjorn, and Sjostorm). Although there is no rating shown, it may be trying to compete with I AM CURIOUS (YELLOW)...but as a poster this is more I HAVE DIARRHEA (PEPTO BISMOL PINK).

I MARRIED A SHADOW:
This is the best movie in the whole history of movies in the whole wide world...but you'd never know it based on this ultra-bad, instant coma-inducing poster. UGH! How could a studio go with this concept? Yes--ooooo---we see the o' so clever (yawn) silhouette of said shadow...but UGLY!!!! Who wants this crap hanging in their house...or theater? This must have been a big hit. NOT! (And I was kidding about it being the best movie ever. I'd never heard of it. Who had? NO ONE.) I hope the artist didn't give up his day job after getting the commission for this...

We are now done and...
I TOLD YOU SO!!!!
I wasn't kidding. Bad-Bad-BAD!!!
I have enough lot posters left for 4 or 5 or 6...maybe even 7 more posts. Any takers? I didn't think so.
But, really...stay tuned. I am working on a new post of better posters (NOT from lots). It will probably take me a while to compile it, but it will happen eventually.
Thanks for visiting.

CHEERS!
-
For me the "Watch Your Stern" is the best of your latest bunch GoGo, not because the poster is anything much, but as a big "Carry On" fan I can appreciate seeing all the Carry On team from the production team to a few of the Carry On series regulars like Connor, Sims & Jacques all listed on the poster, I have heard of this film title before but have never actually seen the film and don't remember it ever being shown on TV, certainly not recently.
-
Catching up on the last few updates - it's always a pleasure! bed1
I remember watching Warlock as an impressionable lad and enjoying it - I can't remember much about it apart from Julian Sands, he always had something about him I thought. The design for Zapped made me LOL, I have never seen that before...perfectly 80s. Torso looks genuinely scary from that poster.
I need to rewatch Critters. I genuinely like it a lot, but perhaps that's just nostalgia and it has aged really badly. I recently bought a Japanese poster for it and have been hunting the quad at a good price for a while now.

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.
Test1: Hello and thank you for saying hello. I noticed the tie in to the CARRY ON films. However, since it was NOT an actually CARRY ON film, I thought it might be a bastard stepchild the series wanted to disown or something... Hopefully I am wrong and the film is good. I just don't dig the poster...
Tob: Thank you for your visit. It is nice to have had you come by. Yes, I always liked Julian Sands (Is he still working? Have not really seen him--or noticed him, anyway--in ages). Congrats on your Japanese CRITTERS poster. How is it? I'm sure it is fun.
Now, let's take a look at the posters. 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... You may want to skip down to the next poster...)
I have been collecting posters since I was 11. When I was about 13 or 14 years old, my family had moved across town. Some older friends I had met in Junior High were coming across town via bus to see a friend of theirs they had met in some film club they belonged to. Apparently this friend was a neighbor of mine.
My friend Richard was two years older than I was. He was in 10th grade. I was in 8th. He came to my house and we walked the few blocks to this friend's house. I recognized the house, having seen it several times in passing when we took the short cut/back way home. The house was unmistakable. There were paving blocks cemented in all over the front yard. There was no grass or plants of any kind. It was odd.
The friend's name was Max. He was an older fellow, kind of sloppy looking, and heavyset. He had this wimpy, nasally voice and what appeared to be a bad wig. He did have a nice three-bedroom home, though. In the entry hall, there was a framed copy of this poster hanging on the wall. Of course, I noticed it.
I don't recall much of that afternoon. I think another friend joined us at Max's place, but I'm not sure. I know we talked about movies/film--I just don't recall the specifics. I do recall seeing Max's backyard. It was completely covered over in black plastic. There was no yard back there either. I also think (but may be imagining this based on news reports later) that he had started (or was at least talking about) sound-proofing his living room. I remember being under the impression it was for possible film production in the future, but it is all hazy and I am not quite sure about that. I do recall that he gave me several books and magazines on film to borrow.
I remember I needed to get them back to him and was hesitant to do so. There was something creepy about Max. I didn't relish the idea of seeing him again, possibly going inside of his home again, alone. Eventually I just walked the magazines back down there and left them on his porch.
Jump to several years later. When I was in college, I had to take a political science class. This would have been late in 1983 or early in 1984. I was surprised to learn that my instructor, M. Franc, was Max. He was older, heavier, and his bad wig looked like it hadn't been washed since I'd met him years earlier--but it was him.
During the course of the semester, I asked him if he remembered who I was. He did, of course. His class was hard and I had to seek him out in his office several times for various projects. I distinctly remember one time he told me about a call he'd gotten from John Vulich, the make-up artist who was just starting out apprenticing with Tom Savini on FRIDAY THE 13TH-THE FINAL CHAPTER. (I'd met Vulich years before at his parents' house in north Fresno. He had been friends with my friend Richard and had apparently also been a part of the film club that they had all belonged to while I was in middle school.) Max would share phoned reports he would get from the set, "Oh, they just killed Peter Barton the other day." Things like that.
But I still found him creepy and kept my distance as much as possible.
I got through his class--barely. It was tough class. Once I was out of his class though, I didn't talk to him. I didn't seek him out again for any reason. "Knowing" him may have helped my grade, but I'm not sure.
Jump to a few years later. In August of 1987, I was still a student at the university. Just before school was to resume, word broke that Max Franc had been arrested for murder.
Tracy Leroy Nute had been a troublesome teen in Kansas, spending his later teen years in a juvenile home of some sort. In February of 1987, he was 18. He fled Kansas, running to Hollywood with dreams of becoming a star. He was reduced to becoming a male prostitute and, a few months later, he was dead.
The story is gruesome. Max had apparently picked up Nute outside of Oki Dog, a divey but famous little hot dog joint in West Hollywood. Although Max said that a friend of his, Terry Adams, had been the one who had actually killed Nute, the prosecution said Max had done it. Nute was shot once in the head. His body was then cut up with a rented chainsaw. The body parts were then disposed of up and down Interstate 5 and Highway 99 (the way back to Fresno). The gun was later found in Max's desk at Fresno State.
The chainsaw was rented. When it was returned, there was still blood all over it with bits of flesh still in the chain blades. When asked about it, Max said he had run over a dog and cut it up to bury it. Even more telling was that the body parts that were strewn about on his way home were wrapped in The Daily Collegian, the student newspaper from Fresno State.
Whether Terry Adams was a real person or not (the rental chainsaw place remembered a young blonde man, as Adams was described as being, returning it), Max was convicted. He later died in prison.
When his house was being prepared to sell, there was a huge dumpster parked in his driveway. The newspapers had made a big deal out of the soundproofing of his living room, making it sound like it may have been a sex/torture dungeon-type of thing. I doubt that--but it sold newspapers and got TV ratings. I did consider doing a late-night dumpster dive to see if I could find the framed DAY OF THE LOCUST poster and wondered what other strange things might be in there...but I refrained from doing so.
I was not involved in the incident in any way, shape, or form. It just still creeps me out all of these years later. I knew Max however briefly. I was in his house. I had a few private discussions with him. I am still glad I just left those borrowed items on his porch and didn't go into his house again.
But still, it haunts me. THE DAY OF THE LOCUST is about the dream of Hollywood and the heartbreak of many who do not make it...just like Tracy Leroy Nute's dreams. I already had a copy of this, but bid on this copy anyway. I bid a whole $4...and won it for $3.

AEROBICIDE (aka KILLER WORKOUT) (Lebanese):
KILLER WORKOUT is a so-bad-it's-good 80's flick. Who knew it had a theatrical release (albeit in Lebanon!)? Ha! Crap poster image, but for such a camp classic, how could I refuse? The film was written/directed by David A Prior, whose first film was shot on a VHS camcorder and called SLEDGEHAMMER. That got a VHS release and did well...and from there his career (although still low budget) took off. KILLER WORKOUT was his third film. He's written/directed more than 30 since.

THE CAPTIVE FEMALE:
I may already have a copy of this poster, but I am not sure. I have a censored poster for this under it's better known alternative title, SCREAM BLOODY MURDER. I'd love to have an uncensored copy of that one sheet (that poster included mention of a great gimmick. Patrons were given a free Scream Bloody Murder blindfold--in case the film was too much for them). I recently saw the movie on one of those awful Mill Creek multi-movie box sets. For its age and budget (about $1.95), it was okay--better than it had any right to be, actually. Still sleazy trash--but interesting. When this popped up, I went for it. i believe this is the original release title and poster.

THE OMEN (2006 remake advance):
Speaking of crap...that's what this remake is---CRAP! However, this advance poster's image is awesome. It's much better than the final one sheet that was used. Stick with the superior original movie though. How very fortunate that the movie got to be released on June 6, 2006 (6/6/06). I think the original came out June 6, 1976...6/6/76,,,,not quite the same effect.

THE LION HUNTERS:
Star Johnny Sheffield started off playing "Boy" in the Johnny Weissmuller TARZAN flicks. However, when puberty set in and he was too old for the part, Boy was sent off to school (aka written out) and Sheffield was unemployed...until some brilliant producer took him (to cash in on his TARZAN fame) and starred him as Bomba, the Jungle Boy (a teen TARZAN take-off) in a series of films. Between 1949 and 1955, there were 12 Bomba movies made. I've been trying to track the posters down. They seem to be almost as hard to find as the Jungle Jim movie posters (the film series of 16 movies that Johnny Weissmuller did when he got too old to play Tarzan himself). When I bid on this one, I didn't realize that this was one of the two I already had already. Drat! (The other is THE LOST VOLCANO) Woody Strode is another TARZAN refugee, having appeared in two of the films. While it would be nice to have had a different title, I am happy with this nice copy of the poster.

THE THREE STOOGES MEET HERCULES (Three sheet):
I dread three sheets---they are just too big and come in two pieces. However, this was cheap enough, in good shape and features both the Stooges and Hercules...how could I say no? I do think it is kind of funny that a man named Samson Burke plays Hercules (Samson/Hercules---Ha! Never mind...). Burke also played Ursus and Maciste, the muscular heroes in other Italian peplum films of the era. Vicki Trickett, a former Miss Omaha (1959), was discovered at a horse show by Tab Hunter. She only appeared in a handful of flicks, including GIDGET GOES HAWAIIAN and the mostly forgotten THE CABINET OF CALIGARI (a remake of the silent German Expressionist film,THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI).

FRANKENSTEIN (2006 French re-release):
I already have one of these, but love this poster so much, I had to go for this second copy. Now, to find one for BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN.... and a larger copy (I have the small size) for THE INVISIBLE MAN.

HORROR STORY (Spanish):
When I came across this interesting poster for an unknown (to me) "horror"movie--I couldn't say no. This comes from Spain from 1972...and there is not much information out there about it...other than it is a horror comedy. I think you could figure that out from the doofy expression on the guy's face.

LORD OF THE JUNGLE:
Hooray! Another Bomba poster! This is for the 12th--and final--film of the series. I am super thrilled. Now only 9 more posters in the series to track down. Ha!

THE WIZARD OF OZ (French re-release):
Oooo... I have wanted this re-release OZ poster since I first laid eyes on it. Utilizing the artwork for the original (??) Belgian release on this French re-release was a stroke of genius. The poster is fantastic. It pops in a rainbow of color! I never realized (well, never really paid attention to it) the billing. Judy Garland is understandably first. Frank Morgan second (?)(He does play several characters though...), Ray Bolger third, but Bert Lahr before Jack Haley? Interesting. I had noticed that Charley Grapewyn (Uncle Henry) got credit and Clara Blandick (Aunt Em--who has more lines and screen time) isn't credited. Re-release or not, I am just thrilled with this poster. Yahoo.

HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL:
HOORAY!!!!!! I had been wanting one of these for ages. If you'll recall, I scored one a while back, but when it arrived, I found that it had somehow lost some paper and there was a hole in it. Drat it all. Then this one turned up in Very good to fine condition. I was NOT going to let it slip through my fingers again. And voila! It was mine. Whoo hoo. Having lived for a couple of years in San Francisco, this old movie speaks to me...even though there is NO WAY a house this large with such extensive grounds could ever exist on Telegraph Hill. Ha! Wonderful old school graphics. Yahoo!

And that is it! Was this post better than the previous ones? Have I been redeemed? Thank you for visiting. Really, really, really... I am taking a break from poster buying. (I saw the HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL poster and decided I MUST have it---even if it was two weeks away on eMovie--and bought the other posters to go with it---so I could put up a post! That's also why there is 11 posters shown instead of the usual 10.) I am still working on various projects and will post an update soon-ish.

CHEERS!

Golly gee, Monster, I'm creeped out more from your Day of the Locust Max story than any movie I've seen! Sounds like you have a real life influence for a scary screenplay. Did you ever see his parents? Black plastic back yard?! Day of the Locust in the entry way?! Bloody rented chain saw return?! The truth is stranger than...
P.S. Congrats on House On Telegraph Hill.
P.P.S. I really like that image of Frankie's Monster, too.
Okie

Congratulations on all these posters MAGG. Wizard, House, Bomba... But the Captive Female really speaks me haha. Liking that art work

Much stronger batch of posters for sure GoGo notworthy.gif
Some nice artwork on many of them, I especially like the "Wizard of Oz" very nice indeed even if it is a re-release, I can see why your so happy to pick this one up, congrats mate thumbsup.gif

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...
Test1/John: Hi! Glad you like the OZ poster. It truly is nice---and it's H-U-G-E!!! Sorry to say that today's postings are not as nice as last times...but they all can't be winners, right? Thanks for the visit.
50s/Steve: Ha! Ha! Ha! I'm SURE that CAPTIVE FEMALE is right up your alley. It's good to see you visit again. Thanks for saying Hello.
Okie: Hi there. And thanks for the valiant effort you made to trudge through that DAY OF THE LOCUST story. Creepy or not, I didn't realize how ridiculously L-O-N-G it was until it was actually posted. Oops! Whose parents were you asking about? Never saw anyone's parents. I am soooo spectacularly happy with my new copy of HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL. You have NO idea. Ha! As always, Okie, it's been a pleasure having you visit the page.
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 in the background are the only pluses. This apparently is for the US release of a French/Spanish co-production that is a ripoff than LES DIABOLIQUES. Eh...

MALEFICENT:
I may have this already...I'm NOT sure. I did see the film (It was okay.) but not the sequel. The reason I got the poster though is because it was $10...including the frame. SOLD! Who needs the poster? $10 for a frame is CHEAP! Ha!

RETURN OF THE KILLER TOMATOES:
I loved the original ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES---especially the one sheet for it. The sequels (there were three---plus an animated TV series) were not so great... For years, I thought all of the sequels were direct-to-video releases. I was surprised to learn that there had been a theatrical release for the first sequel. The sequels all star John Astin. This one, though, stars...George Clooney. Really. Ha! Seeing this, you will scratch your head and wonder HOW he ever got another job afterwards. Director John DeBello helmed the original film and all of the sequels. But the sequels are NOTHING like the first. Oh well...

ZAPPED AGAIN (Video one sheet):
I normally would have NEVER bothered getting this poster for the direct-to-video sequel to ZAPPED. However, not long after getting a one sheet for ZAPPED in a lot purchase a little while back, I realized the sequel is completely forgotten. For some reason, that fact made the poster appealing (even though the film does NOT interest me at all). While Scott Baio and Willie Aames took a wise PASS on being in this, believe it or not, Karen Black and Linda Blair signed on. Ha!

THE CURSE OF LA LLORNA:
I already have a copy of this poster. I saw the flick...but it was just okay. But the poster is wonderfully creepy. I was buying something from one dealer on eBay (Super reputable. His initials are DD. You know who I mean... Thank you, as always, Dale.) and he had a copy of this super cheap--so why not?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sntLTtv8AsM/XvrY83HFBlI/AAAAAAAAdao/6jqzhyBKdTcmYj39hoEH8fKynT_sANSewCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/s-l1600%2B%25283%2529.jpg)

THE UNHOLY:
This film is just okay...nothing great. I remember going to see this because Ben Cross was in it. He had been Barnabas in the new DARK SHADOWS series in the 80s. The poster wasn't bad...and it was inexpensive. So... I snagged it.

EDGE OF SANITY:
I was looking through a dealer's titles for sale... I wasn't looking for anything in particular. I was buying something, but wanted to pad out the shipping. I came across this Anthony Perkins poster. I had seen it. It wasn't great, but I always felt it was very interesting. It was also one of Perkins' final projects. Why not pick it up?

RETURN OF THE KILLER TOMATOES - THE SEQUEL (Video poster):
I didn't really care for the KILLER TOMATOES sequels, as I've said. I got the one sheet for the first sequel. I liked this video poster for that sequel and was thrilled to get this. However, although you really can NOT see it in the photo, the tube this came in got crushed and there is a nasty, ugly wrinkle running all down the left side. I am sooooo upset and bummed about it. The seller was kind enough to give me a refund. I have hung on to this...but it is ruined and is probably destined for the trash if/when I get a replacement.

THE HOTTEST SHOW IN TOWN:
This is some 1974 Danish flick that was originally called SEX-CIRKUSSE. I know nothing about it except what I could find online (which is NOT much). The IMDB listing reads: "The circus is really going to close its doors, the public is no longer interested in it, with so many porno films in town... Unless!... Desperate acrobats, clowns, lion tamers, and tricksters go naked on stage in their circus acts." Okay... I had seen this poster with its zany art up for sale a few times, but always lost out on it...until recently. Step right up! There's a sucker born every minute...and I'm the one that scored this poster.

SOUL (International advance) :
I never saw INSIDE OUT, which (I believe) the film this poster is advertising is a sequel (of sorts??) to. Another collector had gotten this recently...and I really LIKED it. A lot. I liked it so much, I immediately went looking for a copy for myself. For some reason, I am reminded of one of the posters for LA LA LAND, which I also liked (but never got copies of). With the virus happening, who knows if this movie will even get released in theaters? It would be a shame to let such a nice poster go to waste...

That's it for this time. No frills. No excitement. No bells or whistles. It was just some run-o'-the-mill posters. It is what it is. (And I'm sure it will be better than my NEXT post of strictly LOT POSTERS. EEEK!).
Thanks for visiting. Stay safe. Happy 4th!

Hi Monster!
Killer Tomatoes = cool
Drive-in = very cool
Drive-in wired speaker: extremely cool
Was that a photo you took of a speaker still being used at your drive-in?!
Our local two screen indoor theatre setup a drive-in outside in the parking lot and among several nights have shown ET, Grease, Jaws, Goonies and many more.
Good times in a crazy world.

LA PASSANTE:
Zzzzz. Oh my stars. Just looking at this poster and knowing I have nine more stinkers to get through leaves me feeling like I can't possibly get through this. Ugh...It is taking all of my strength to even contemplate this turd o' a poster. Yellow? Really? Yellow (and orange and pink) has always just seemed like such an awful color for a poster. The FRIDAY THE 13TH knock off DON'T GO IN THE WOODS has a decent image...but it is stuck on a yellow background which nearly ruins it. Blah! I've heard of Romy Schneider but I don't think I've ever seen her in anything. This is soooo NOT a Monster A GoGo-type poster. A hard PASS on LA PASSANTE.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W3y1l3PxNEA/XtB8IaPaj6I/AAAAAAAAavk/CWJqyH2b7lcihw3VM2Ki7M1E5p7ov55IACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/aaaaa%2BIMG_0007_CS07090_B.jpg)[/center
I MARRIED A SHADOW:This is the best movie in the whole history of movies in the whole wide world...but you'd never know it based on this ultra-bad, instant coma-inducing poster. UGH! How could a studio go with this concept? Yes--ooooo---we see the o' so clever (yawn) silhouette of said shadow...but UGLY!!!! Who wants this crap hanging in their house...or theater? This must have been a big hit. NOT! (And I was kidding about it being the best movie ever. I'd never heard of it. Who had? NO ONE.) I hope the artist didn't give up his day job after getting the commission for this...

You see, if you were French, you would know both of these movies. Both are very well known to French speaking people. Both actresses, Romy Schneider and Nathalie Baye, have won numerous awards in France. Nathalie Baye had a lead role in Catch Me if You Can (she played DiCaprio's mother) and aside from being nominated 10 times, she has won the Cesar Award (the equivalent of the Oscar in France) 4 times. "J'ai épousé une ombre" is actually a very good movie, and so is La Passante du Sans-Souci. Romy Schneider is probably one of the 5 most famous French actresses EVER. Just FYI.
There is a world beyond slasher films.

Wait a minute T and Monster, I just noticed who wrote the book the movie I Married a Shadow (book is I Married a Dead Man) was based. William Irish = Cornell Woolrich!!! Great source material for the screenplay! Okie

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. It looks like I'll be moving by the end of the year or early next year (if we can ever get a handle on this horrible virus situation, that is). Because of that, I need to (hopefully) stop buying posters. In fact, I've been going through them with the idea of getting rid of a lot before the move. We'll see if that happens also.
Today's post (my last for a while?) is nothing exciting or interesting. I bought another "lot" on eMovieposter.com. There were 65 posters in it, but of those I am only going to share 10 and ignore the rest. (Why torture you with crap?) The 10 I've pulled for this post are not even really worth your time....but they are here and ready to go...and possibly/probably my last "new" stuff for quite a while.
OKIE: Hi there. Thanks for visiting. Yes, the drive in photos from the last post were all from a drive in about 45 minutes away that I've visited a few times this summer. I had never been there before. With the virus and all and everything closed, I thought why not? It's been a fun diversion. So, yes...that was a real working speaker sitting in my car very recently.
THIERRY: Thanks for visiting also. I didn't mean to offend, if I did. I stated in both descriptions I didn't know the movies. However, my main complaint wasn't the films they represented, but the (in my opinion) lousy posters used to advertise them. I'm sorry, but if I knew nothing about those movies (which i don't, really), those posters would do nothing to convince me to see them. And they aren't very Monster A GoGo-esque. I'm sure they are fine films...but the posters are D-U-L-L.
So, let's get this show going...

BEAR ISLAND:
This lot poster is exciting and action packed...but I've never seen the flick (nor have I ever read an Alistair MacLean thriller). Interesting cast on this one, though.

TIME BOMB:
Another lot poster with interesting art but beyond that there isn't much to say as I've not seen the flick. Star Curt Jurgens is probably best known (in my world, anyway) as James Bond's nemesis Stromberg in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. This was a French import from 1959 (released here in 1961).

PRISONERS OF THE CONGO:
As a lot poster, this one has at least some interesting art. It looks like a French import, but I am completely unfamiliar with it.

THUMBELINA:
I like kiddie matinee posters, which is why this lot poster made the list. However, this one is u-g-l-y. It's a notorious Barry Mahon turd. I think this is one kiddie matinee poster I never bothered to buy before...and now, wanted or not, it's mine as part of a lot.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZOM9UpHqQ0E/Xv7g2IjIOSI/AAAAAAAAdoU/ObmQWrofXX82iAmTune-f1Ne48A_LrbbwCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/IMG_0042_CS07837_B%2B%2Bbbbb.jpg)

ANGEL BABY:
This lot poster is for a 1961 film I had never heard of before. ANGEL BABY? The cast is impressive; George Hamilton, Mercedes McCambridge, Joan Blondel, Henry Jones, (5th billed) Burt Reynolds (in his film debut, according to IMDB) ...and, as Angel Baby, introducing Miss Salome Jens (Who, apparently, vanished into obscurity right after her introduction. Oh my...) (No. I just looked. She is still around and has had a l-o-n-g career in bit parts. Hmm.)

EXIT TO EDEN:
I actually saw this---in the theater---really. I do not know how Garry Marshall got attached to this, but turning it into a comedy was really the only thing that could have been done. I had read the original novel before the flick came out. It was by Anne Rice (under one of her pseudonyms) and the book was not a comedy at all. The movie wasn't that good and I'm sure Ms. Rice hated it. It would have been so much worse had it not been made into a comedy...as it would have been unintentionally funny. Still, it feels like the Rosie O'Donnell and Dan Akroyd characters (which aren't in the book) were added in late in the production...when they realized the movie was veering towards being a total turd-o-rama. I wonder if Dana Delany lists this on her resume? Ha! It certainly did nothing to help Paul Mercurio's career.

CONTEST GIRL:
I've never seen the movie this lot purchase poster is advertising, but I love the old school aesthetic. There's a "beauty racket"? Ha! At least Janette Scott and Edmund Purdom had a job. I'm sure the "startling expose" must be an unintentional camp fest when viewed today. Ha!

TIMERIDER:
This isn't that great of a poster--at all. I never saw this, but recall when it came out and have been curious about it. From the poster and what I remember of the TV ads, it is about a guy whose motorcycle somehow becomes a time machine...and back in time he goes. Like I said, I never saw it...but I wonder where he got gas in a world before gas stations? I don't think I had a copy of this poster before getting it in that lot. I wouldn't mind giving the flick a watch...

SO SAD ABOUT GLORIA:
I didn't even notice this poster when I bought the lot it came in. It's so simple, minimalistic (i.e. cheap--Ha!) and less than eye catching... It was only after it was mine and I was going through the various posters that I spotted it. The tag line reads: The romance of LOVE STORY--the terror of PSYCHO!" WHAT!!!??!!! Ha! I had never heard of this movie, but my interest was sure piqued by that awesome tag line. I found it available on BluRay (as a drive in-style double feature from Code Red, which makes me think it's probably trash--but what else is new?) and ordered a copy. How could I not when I saw this description on IMDB of a cool promotional gimmick the film utilized upon it's release: "When this movie premiered, there was a telephone number (local) you could call. It was a recording of Gloria begging for help, then she would yell and the phone would go dead." Ha! I LOVE that. I wish I could have heard that. Oh well. Oscar winner Dean Jagger and PETTICOAT JUNCTION's Lori Saunders star. Only rated PG? Hmm. Oh well... I'm excited about it---at least until I get around to giving it a watch, probably. Ha!

TOM THUMB AND LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD:
Believe it or not, THIS poster is the one I wanted and why I went for this lot. Really. Really. REALLY! I love my kiddie matinee posters. I thought I had all of the K. Gordon Murray Mexican import LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD posters...but this one was new to me. Was it a double feature? A whole new movie that had so far escaped my attention? Nope...it was neither. It is actually an alternate title for LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AND THE MONSTERS (the poster of which I already have). How interesting that there is not even a hint that the monsters are in this flick. Ha! This is trash to everyone else--cheesy treasure to me. Ha! Why aren't these flicks available on remastered BluRay in a deluxe boxed set? Maybe if I wish really hard, the Dazzling Dawn Fairy will make it so....

And that's it for now. I am framing things still and putting displays together (pointless now with a move coming up, but...). I'll eventually post an update on those.
In the mean time, take care. THANK YOU for visiting.

CHEERS!

Some nice art on Bear Island in the Mort Kunstler vein, Monster. Can you see an artist signature on it? Your videos this time were seizure dangers. No safety warning?! Stay safe, lil' Monster! Okie
-
THIERRY: Thanks for visiting also. I didn't mean to offend, if I did. I stated in both descriptions I didn't know the movies. However, my main complaint wasn't the films they represented, but the (in my opinion) lousy posters used to advertise them. I'm sorry, but if I knew nothing about those movies (which i don't, really), those posters would do nothing to convince me to see them. And they aren't very Monster A GoGo-esque. I'm sure they are fine films...but the posters are D-U-L-L.
Not a problem, but you seemed to be very dismissive of these movies, so I wanted to bring a little bit of my knowledge.

I hadn't heard of those French films either MAGG. Only middle aged French folk might!
The Bollywood version of the film I Married a Shadow: Kati Patang (1970) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065936/) , has higher IMDB ratings and has also won more awards and no one has heard of that either!
Keep em coming MAGG

Hi there. Against my better intentions, it is poster time once again...so, WELCOME BACK! There's nothing super special to see this time. (Of course, there hasn't been anything super special to see in my posts for a while now... Ha!) As I am trying to save money and get ready for a move, my heart just isn't in it right now. BUT--I can NOT seem to go "cold turkey," no matter what I do. There's always a new auction somewhere...and I just can't help but take a peek at them. One thing leads to another...and before you know it, I've bought posters. Again. Oh well...
OKIE: Sorry about the seizure-inducing gifs on the last post. I was just trying to keep people awake (or perhaps unconscious) through the whole, dull post last time. Eek! I've looked...but I just do not see a signature on the BEAR ISLAND art. I do thank you though for visiting, as always...
T: In the lot I posted from last time (which I will spare everyone here the horror of having to go through in another post---but I'm NOT sparing those on my Instagram account. Ha!), there was another French film I'd never heard of (with lame poster art)...that actually sounds interesting. Are you, by chance, familiar with a flick called A BOMB FOR A DICTATOR? It's about terrorists who want to blow up an evil South American dictator's plane. He is visiting France...but decides to take a commercial flight home instead of a private flight. So the terrorists have to decide whether to blow him up still or not--as he is riding with around a hundred innocent people. It may be boring---but it could be interesting, too.
STEVE/50s: I am always super thrilled to see you pop up here...and you seemed to have disappeared for the longest time before you reappear again. Of course, I'm not on here nearly as much as I used to be---so that may be why I don't see you as much, too. I am glad to know you are okay.
So--let's get this over with. Let's take a look at the new items-a-go-go that have been added to my collection (if your heart can stand the terror...and your mind can stand the boredom...):

THE ZOMBIE'S RAGE (re-release):
This is better known as THE GRIM REAPER (as it was originally released here in the USA) or as ANTHROPOPHAGUS, which it is called on DVD/BluRay and I believe what it was called in Italy, where it was made. Retitled THE ZOMBIE'S RAGE after ZOMBIE hit it big here. I have a copy of this poster already, but it came with another poster in the batch.

WILD WILD WORLD:
It's Mondo time again with this low-rent MONDO CANE wannabe. From 1965 and loaded with nothing you haven't seen before in other mondo docs. Great tag line though: "So startling... so shocking... so strange.. you won't believe it even after you've seen it!"
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6GAVBs3pRcg/Xx9VF8CE0uI/AAAAAAAAfsk/P04sbaVTmn8WTCYnfnVFyyPWphQKlg-rQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/wild_wild_world_dupe2_EB08246_B%2B%2Bbbbbbb.jpg)

THE OSCAR:
Zowie! It's the poster for one of the all-time worst movies! It's kind of like a male-version of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, but centered on the male equivalent of the Neely O'Hare character, Frankie Fane (Stephen Boyd), who climbs his way up the Hollywood, ladder tooth and nail, and leaving devastation in his wake. Campy and cheesy...with an all-star cast (lots of which are cameos not listed on the poster).

HARDBODIES:
80's sex comedy... I didn't realize I had this poster already. Oh well. It came with another 80s poster I didn't have---so this was kind of a bonus.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PpIcrgHIN3g/Xx9VEK6UgYI/AAAAAAAAfsE/en5GhqtgoIMDtbqU5pEWuPHxpygUbbgFQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Hardbodies.jpg)

HOT DOG-THE MOVIE:
I had never wanted to see this 80s sex comedy set at a ski resort...until Synapse released the unrated producer's cut of the film on BluRay earlier this year. Ha! I know I didn't already have the poster...so why not? Shannon Tweed and David (AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON) Naughton star.

HELLHOLE:
In an early issue of FANGORIA magazine (possibly issue #1 ?), I read about a movie called HUMAN EXPERIMENTS. I was intrigued and wanted to see it...but it never came to my town. When the VHS era happened, I looked for it...but couldn't find it. The closest I could come to it was HELLHOLE, which sounded like it might be HUMAN EXPERIMENTS under another name. It wasn't the same movie, but this flick has a cheapness and campiness all its own...and just look at that incredible B-movie cast: Ray Sharkey (!), Marjoe Gortner (!!), Judy Landers (!?!), Edy Williams (!!??!!), Terry Moore (!!!!!??????) and Mary Woronov (!!!!!!!!). WOW!!!

DADDY'S DEADLY DARLING (re-release):
This is an ugly poster. Why get it? Because...it is a rare one. I had never seen a copy before. DADDY'S DEADLY DARLING is better known as PIGS, which is the title I saw it under at the drive-in in the early/mid-80s (on a double bill with MOTEL HELL). I hated PIGS, but I had to respect it. It was the first time I was ever suckered into seeing a decade plus-old movie, repackaged to look new. The commercials and newspaper ads also screamed that it starred Katherine Ross (!!!) Of course, Katherine Ross was NOT Katharine Ross, star of THE GRADUATE or BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID. Instead, Katherine Ross was some old lady who only had a small part in the film. And the PIGS? They didn't do much...and almost seemed secondary to the rest of the movie. I later learned this film had several titles. In addition to PIGS and DADDY'S DEADLY DARLING, it was also called ROADSIDE TORTURE CHAMBER (which I might have the poster for), THE STRANGE LOVE EXORCIST, and BLOOD PEN, among others. Vinegar Syndrome released it on BluRay a while back.

DARK WATERS:
This is a new poster...not a vintage one sheet. There was no (USA) one sheet for this flick. This was printed (27x39) by the video company Severin Films for the BluRay release of the film. And what an odd--yet amazing--film this is. It isn't the most coherent thing (I'm still not sure what I saw), but the atmosphere and sets are incredible. I was surprised. I bought this--not because it was a made up one sheet...but, even though this is a "fake" of sorts, it was autographed by the director, Mariano Baino. I was that impressed with the film, that I thought I'd like the signed poster as well. This is Italian nunsploitation like you've never seen before. Weird.

CORPSE EATERS:
I have several copies of this obscure zombie flick poster from the 70s. In fact, one of my copies is framed and hanging in my bedroom. It amazes me that this film, which is for a rare, hard-to-find regional rarity, had so many copies of the poster made...when it hardly played anywhere at all. Cool poster regardless. It is definitely a fave.

SANGAREE (3D):
I probably already have one of these, but I am such a sucker for gimmicks, 50's 3D in particular, that I couldn't help but buy this copy (too?). Kino Lorber released the film on 3D BluRay a few years ago. I have it--but need a 3D TV to see it with. Waaaagh! Despite the 3D gimmick, the poster isn't all that in-your-face interesting. This was from one of eMovie's auctions (as are several others on here). Thank you, as always, Bruce.

And that is the 10 for today. See... there wasn't anything too fabulous and it was slightly better than the recent (and much dreaded) "IT CAME FROM THE AUCTION LOT" posts of recent months.
I'll be back eventually---but (hopefully) not for a long while, unless I finish some of my projects and have those ready to share. In the mean time, as I dig through my boxes and boxes of posters, feel free to visit my Instagram...as I photograph and post the stuff in the boxes on there. My account handle is: https://www.instagram.com/theshockoramapostershow/
Okay kiddies, it is time for me to cha-cha-cha off into the sunset (or at least into the guest room, where I have a huge pile o' laundry waiting to be folded. O' the glamorous life of a go-go-ing monster/poster hoarder...).
Stay groovy!

No, never heard of Les Fanatiques. But Pierre Fresnay is a great French actor. Can't be all that bad.

Hello! Welcome back to a most unexpected new edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! Why unexpected? Because I wasn't going to buy any posters for a while due to an upcoming move. However, against my better judgement, I bought another poster "lot". Most of the posters were crap (and I WILL spare you those). I was after one specific poster, of course...and got the other (mostly) trash just for that one title. In addition, since I got the lot, I picked up a couple of other things (since I knew I'd now need to pull a post together). What that means is---oh JOY!--only 8 of these posters (instead of all 10) are from the lot. So don't expect to be blown away (at all).
While I'm at it, another post of projects I've been working on has been sitting idle for a long, long while. I've decided to tack it on at the bottom of this post. I'll explain why I added it when we get there.
THIERRY: Thanks for the visit last time. It is always a pleasure (and a surprise, somehow) to see you here.

Okay---let's get into this thing and get it over with:
JOY STICKS:
Of all of the lot poster titles, I opted to include this 80s video game sex comedy. I've never seen it and the only name I recognize in it is Joe Don Baker (in a sex comedy? Oh my....that may be something I DON'T want to see either). I don't think I had this poster before (unlike several others in the lot), so...here it is.

48 HRS:
I probably already have one of these...but who knows? (I certainly don't know...my collection is such a mess.)Not the most exciting poster ever, but it is for a decent movie---one of Eddie Murphy's better flicks (as well as Nick Nolte's). The always interesting James Remar is also in the flick.

THE MAN WITH BOGART'S FACE:
Here is another poster I may already have---but that no one seems to have seen or know much about. I remember seeing the trailer for this in the 70s. The lead actor (Robert Sacchi) really does resemble Bogart (and he has played Bogart...or Bogart-like characters several times). I'm guessing this mystery/comedy was written with him in mind? The "mystery" about this film, for me anyway, is that after seeing the trailer --- the film never came to my town. And I really wanted to see it.
Someone somewhere mentioned the film was crap....which is probably the case (and may be why it never showed up in the theaters near me). This flick at least has an interesting cast: Franco Nero, Michelle Phillips, Olivia Hussey, Misty Rowe, Victor Buono, Sybil Danning, and Herbert Lom.

THE MAGICAL ADVENTURES OF THE GINGERBREAD MAN:
Yes, this was a lot purchase as well. It's no secret I have a penchant for kiddie matinee posters. I have seen this title around many times---however, I am reasonably sure I never bothered to get this one before. My stars---this is one of the WORST posters I've ever seen for a kiddie matinee. What kid would WANT to see this? It looks like it would be torture to sit through (as most kiddie matinees were anyway---but this one looks especially awful). This comes from Barry Mahon who is mostly known for his nudie output in the 60s. He switched to kiddie matinee flicks late in his career. This one, though...I can not seem to find any information on (although somewhere someone posted it was also known as THE GINGERBREAD BOY).

PANDEMONIUM:
I remember reading about PANDEMONIUM in the pages of FANGORIA magazine back in the day. The 80s horror spoof started off life as THURSDAY THE 12TH (which is why it registered on my radar). I don't recall if it played in my town or not---but I remember finally catching it on video during the VHS era. However, I don't remember much about it other than there is some CARRIE elements to it. And what a cast--there are those listed on the poster, but also people like: Eve Arden, Tab Hunter (both pictured on the poster--but not listed on the poster's credits), Kaye Ballard, Donald O'Conner, Edie McClurg, Lynne Marie Stewart and John Paragon (Miss Yvonne and Jambi from PEE WEE'S PLAYHOUSE), Eileen Brennan, Judge Reinhold and many others. As I said, I don't recall much about the flick...but am considering giving it a second look. Vinegar Syndrome recently released this on BluRay...so there's still interest in it out there.

GORP:
This flick came out in the wake of the success of MEATBALLS...but this one was R rated. I remember wanting to see it--but I was only a freshman. And while my grandmother took me to see horror flicks as a kids (What a sweetheart she was to do so), I didn't ask to have her take me to this because I had no idea what to expect in an R-rated sex comedy...and I thought I'd be embarrassed to see it with my grandma, so.... To this day, I've not seen it yet.
GORP has a decent cast. There's a young Dennis Quad and Fran Drescher as well as David Huddleston (He was Santa in SANTA CLAUS THE MOVIE) and Michael Lembeck (Capt Kool, as in Captain Kool and the Kongs from the KROFT SUPERSHOW.... anyone? Anyone?). American International Pictures released this flick. It was their last release. (Wiki claims the last film was HOW TO BEAT THE HIGH COST OF LIVING, but that is incorrect.) They made a mint with THE AMITYVILLE HORROR, but lost their butt with the literal disaster movie METEOR and things like C.H.O.M.P.S, THE NORSEMEN, and MATILDA. This trickled out just before being sold to Filmways.

SCHIZOID:
No, this is NOT some wild, alternative poster for the 1980 Klaus Kinski movie. And NO, despite Lucio Fulci being the director, this isn't some long-lost Fulci masterpiece. Yes, he directed it, but it is actually a retitling of A LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN. I was not sure if I had one of these already or not...but I got this fairly inexpensively...just in case I didn't have it.

THE HUMAN FACTOR:
DO I have this already? Hmm. I have always admired this nice Tanenbaum poster artwork, but have never seen the flick. That gun just jumps right out at ya.

STORY BOOK TEA PARTY:
Okay---I can already envision you shaking your head in disbelieve--but THIS is the poster I bought the lot for. Yes, I got one of these before. However, when that one arrived, there was a chunk missing from the top of the poster near the center fold. Argh! To everyone else, this would be a throwaway poster...but, hello? I'm the dude who digs the kiddie matinee posters...and this one I had never seen before until recently. Instead of complaining about the missing piece, I tried for other lots with the same poster in them...and looked on eBay for a copy. I missed out on other lots that included it...but finally managed to score one again. Hooray! Free prizes to everyone! This is a K. Gordon Murray extravaganza, of course.

THE CURSE OF HER FLESH:
A lot of one sheets for this title started showing up a while back. I've been constantly trying to get one. Finally....I scored! THE CURSE OF HER FLESH is the second (and probably least interesting) of the FLESH trilogy by roughie sleaze royal couple Michael and Roberta Findlay. The first flick was THE TOUCH OF HER FLESH and the last being THE KISS OF HER FLESH. All three are available on a triple-bill DVD from Something Weird Video.

That is the 10 posters for this post. But there is still MORE to see:
I had been working on some poster projects around the house. But...they sort of fell by the wayside as things in my personal life took center stage. I had started a post about this. It just went unfinished as I anticipated having other project to work on/complete. With my move coming early next year, I am now planning to take my posters down from my walls and remove them from the frames--to ensure they are not damaged in the move. (I will be using a moving company---and I will be going from California to Washington state. I've heard too many moving horror stories. I'll keep the posters with me in a box on my way up there.) I expect to start doing this in early November (after enjoying them through Halloween, of course).
Here is what I had been working on:
I framed my military re-release of THE WOLF MAN. It amazes me that just a few years ago, I'd have turned my nose up at a military poster. But for Universal monster movies? Beggars can't be choosers and I actually do dig this poster.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6W-Wl2HJZ4M/XrPcFy3fcKI/AAAAAAAAZXw/qMmEoax8QGwvEoN9l0hlaX8VR4HHdugugCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/20200423_143542.jpg)
I also framed a copy of the obscure CORPSE EATERS posters.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3j5N04kVj2g/XrPcF6fKCbI/AAAAAAAAZX0/5CilwrWS34Ugmc7f4SXRxAkV67Y0UBT1gCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/20200423_143630.jpg)
And here they are, gracing the space between my bedroom window and my bathroom.

I also traded out some posters on this hallway wall. Nothing too exciting, but I am thrilled to have the painted-style of RE-ANIMATOR, MANIAC, and the original THE BLOB up on the wall, so I can finally enjoy them. FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER and ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA were already there.

And that's it. Hopefully this will be my last post until AFTER the move. (Well, unless something really FAB comes my way...) Thank you (as always) for visiting.

It's been about 2 1/2 months since my last post and...I am B-A-C-K! EEEEK! I was so not planning on returning---for a long, long while. I'm supposed to be packing my posters away for a move to Washington state in the spring---NOT buying more. But, a little purchase now and again isn't going to hurt. Right? Uh....
Most of the posters in this edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show are not that exciting (and many are repeats), but it's better than now show at all (Or is it?).
First--I am long overdue saying hello to my visitors here:
50s/Steve: You LIVE! Every time I see you on here, i am pleasantly surprised. You seem to disappear for long periods (Or maybe that's me who disappears? Ha!). Yes--I love them on my walls (and I knew you'd like that CURSE OF HER FLESH poster). However, I need to take them down, removed them from the frames and pack them away safely for the move this spring. Ho-hum. Naked walls... I'm soooo dreading this.
Thierry: Thank you. I appreciate you visiting my page. That always baffles me...especially since I've been posting such absolute crap for the most part lately. Oh well. Ebb and flow, right? There may be a few "goodies" in the pipeline. Stay tune and visit again...if you can stand the horror of trash posters.
Steven11788: Eeek! You had them...and now miss them? Where did they go-go? (And why didn't you give them to me? Ha!) Thank you for visiting. I'm glad there are a few things in here you like. CHEERS!
Okay. Let's just take a look and leave judgement until the end, shall we?
THE NIGHT OF THE WALKING DEAD:
I have one of these already. However, the copy I have is stained and in fairly lame shape. The poster is not that exciting---but when I bought my original copy, I bought such a poor-quality poster because I had never seen one before. I got this one to upgrade that one. I'll still never display this. It's not even a zombie flick (despite the Romero zombie-esque title). It's a vampire film. And it's printed on pink paper? (Pink? If that doesn't instill terror, I don't know what color does! Snore!)

PANDEMONIUM:
I was pretty sure I had gotten one of these years and years ago--but was not 100% sure. I remember reading about this in the pages of FANGORIA. This horror comedy parody was originally to be called THURSDAY THE 12TH. (There was also a SATURDAY THE 13TH and SATURDAY THE 13TH STRIKES BACK.) It came and went and I missed it...because of the (D'oh!) title change. Anyway, just to be sure I had one, I got this...and then I noticed that not long ago I had already gotten another in a lot purchase. (D'oh! Squared) I know that Vinegar Syndrome has it out---and there is some renewed interest in it. I have not seen it since the VHS days. Perhaps I should give it another watch?

HOLOCAUST 2000 (aka THE CHOSEN):
I probably should have passed up this poster...but I am a sucker for schlock. HOLOCAUST 2000? What's that? I can hear you asking... It's actually an OMEN ripoff with Kirk Douglas and Simon Ward. I saw it YEARS ago---and have absolutely no memory of it. (Perhaps, like PANDEMONIUM, I should track it down and give it another watch? Is it even available on any platform these days? Hmm.) I knew it had been called HOLOCAUST 2000 elsewhere, but I had never seen the poster with that title. As dull as the poster is--I sprang into action when I spied this and made it mine. I don't know why. Perhaps the devil made me do it?

THE SON OF CAESAR AND CLEOPATRA:
This film is better known as just THE SON OF CLEOPATRA. I like my peplum/sword & sandal/ "Hercules" flicks. I have a SON OF CLEOPATRA poster already...but this alternate title had eluded me. I snagged it when I saw it--but have no intention of ever displaying it. Oh well...

THE LOVE BUG:
A while back, I came across a poster for HERBIE GOES BANANAS. I should have let it go, but at the last minute something in my head told me that it would be easy to track down the other posters in the series--why not buy it? So I did. But, UGH! WHY!?! I had never even seen HERBIE GOES BANANAS or HERBIE GOES TO MONTE CARLO. I had not even seen the first two films (THE LOVE BUG or HERBIE RIDES AGAIN) since they originally played theaters when I was a kid. What was I thinking? But with the 4th poster in the series, I admit to have been CASUALLY looking for the others ever since. And lo' and behold, the original fell into my lap. Zowie! (Now just two more to go...unless I want to bother with the Lindsey Lohan remake/sequel HERBIE: FULLY LOADED as well.)

HALLOWEEN (2018):
I was reasonably sure I had one of these already (and why wouldn't I?). However, for whatever reason when I went looking for it, all I could find was the alternate poster that also includes Jamie Lee Curtis on the poster. Hmm. Do I have one of these styles? I wasn't sure, so... MINE!

THE MOONLIGHTER (3D):
It's no secret I am a sucker for a gimmick. Vintage 3D posters are among the top movie gimmicks I go after. I have several posters for vintage 3D posters---but was not sure I had this one. Yippie! Lucky me. Another I can scratch off the list.

NO TIME TO DIE (Nov 2020):
Another thing I'm never gonna NOT get is a James Bond poster. I love me some 007. I have the poster for the originally planned April release. However, the pandemic pushed it back to November---and they made a new poster. Now that the pandemic has pushed it back to April next year, these posters will either become trash or collectible. Hmm. Had to get it either way...

NO TIME TO DIE (Nov. 2020):
Okay--I'm a spazoid. I bought TWO of these. One was a regular bid, whereas one was a buy it now. It's always nice to have a spare, right? Now to wait for the April 2021 poster... (I hope to God it's more interesting that the photoshopped Bond posters of the last decade or so...)

SPOOKIES:
I saw this flick years and years ago on VHS---and HATED it. It's rebirth on DVD and BluRay garnered it new fans. I gave it another watch. It was marginally better than I'd remembered--with some crazy effects. The thing I had always liked about it (even when it was on VHS) was the cheesy cover art. Who knew it had been a poster? I saw some video posters and was thinking of getting one of those, but then...hold the phone! There was a theatrical release poster? Apparently yes---and one became mine.

Okay, boils and ghouls, that's 10 and that's the poster show for today. And guess what? Believe it or not, I have another batch of poster (or almost another batch of ten) in my clutches so that I can post another episode of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show probably sooner than later. (And no, that was NOT a "threat". Calm down...
I hope you had a super Halloween (well, as good as possible despite the pandemic).
Stay SAFE! Stay MASKED! Wash your HANDS! And I'll see you NEXT time!

Well, well, well....less than 24 hours later, I am B-A-C-K! I threatened, er...TOLD you I had several more posters ready to slap toget ...er, carefully craft into fascinating and compelling post. It's mostly crap (which has become my hallmark, of late. Hmm...), but there are a few nice tidbits. (Or not.)
Steven11788: NIGHT OF THE WALKING DEAD is great? The movie? The poster is just okay... But thank you for visiting.
Okay. It's poster time. Take a look or run away now!!!!
YOURS, MINE, AND OURS:
This isn't the usual type of poster I'd go for. It's for a film starring Lucille Ball and I thought I'd seen this going crazy high before. Perhaps I am wrong? I bid a small amount and got this crazy low. Hmm. It's not the best poster ever...and what is that central shape? It looks like hips or a wide butt...but I think it is just supposed to be demonstrating that the "OURS" portion is busting at the seams? Whatever... I've seen the movie and it is okay. It's success gave the already-written BRADY BUNCH TV series the green light to be made. The only thing about the movie that I actually remember though is a brief shot where Lucy and Henry Fonda were supposed to be driving IN to San Francisco for dinner but the shot (rear projection) actually showed them driving AWAY from the city.

THE LOVE BUG (re-release):
Normally I wouldn't bother with a re-release poster. However, this one came with another poster. In my previous post, I discussed how, a while back I stupidly convinced myself to try and track down the HERBIE/LOVE BUG movie posters. That (sort of ) explains this...as you will see below.

HERBIE RIDES AGAIN:
This is the poster I was bidding on that I "won". It came with the original LOVE BUG re-release poster. I'd forgotten all about bidding on this until, several days after the auction ended, I saw I had an invoice waiting for me. Oops! This may be the lamest of the 4 HERBIE posters, but it still conveys the unique attributes of the titular Volkswagen. And suddenly, I only need one more (HERBIE GOES TO MONTE CARLO) to finish the series off (unless I bother with the remake/reboot/sequel HERBIE: FULLY LOADED).

THE DARK TOWER (Character advance styles):
I've read Stephen Kings DARK TOWER novels. There are like 7 or so in the series and they are big, monster-thick books. I was curious about the parred-down 90 minute (2 hour?) movie version. How could it possibly do it justice? Well, it didn't. But for what it was, it wasn't a bad movie. Hopefully some TV network will commit to making the full series based on the books. (Although the series' ending is pretty disappointing and a bit o' a copout.)

MEN OF SHERWOOD FOREST:
I know... I don't know what I was thinking either when I bought this. I had never even heard of this until i saw the poster. With a cast of people I've also never heard of. Hmm.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pyHzzFUGD-Q/X6kl3CNrZFI/AAAAAAAAnjw/jcMDZ2jCshs3I6BAN1If5rsZb_IyygWuACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/0111%2Bmen_of_sherwood_forest_dupe2_BM12582_B%2B%2Bbbb.jpg)

A HARD DAY'S NIGHT (1982 re-release):
Again, normally I would not bother with a re-release poster. However, this is the poster for the release I first saw while in high school. Sure, I knew who The Beatles were, but up until that time, the only Beatles movie I had ever seen was the animated YELLOW SUBMARINE on TV. I LOVED this movie, though. It was fun and irreverent and also a bit surreal and wacky. (I particularly liked the moment when they were lined up at their 4 front doors all saying good night to each other...and they walk into their perspective houses only to see inside that they all live in one giant house. Brilliant!) I could totally see how THE MONKEES was said to be such a knockoff after seeing this film. I totally dug it.

MONDO BALORDO:
I think I have one of these already...but hello? Even though it's for an old mondo flick, it's Boris Karloff! You can't go wrong with Boris.

JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM (International Final style A ):
I got this simply because it was inexpensive and I wasn't sure I had a copy of a poster for this sequel.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QlHwS9rHpS0/X6kmh9uNMkI/AAAAAAAAnkU/zLIwSQFSjps3R8xhkWq54zCkvr7wKehkACLcBGAsYHQ/w404-h640/0111%2BJurassic%2BWorld%2BFallen%2BKingdom%2BInt%2B%2BFinal%2Bstyle%2BA%2B%2Bbbbb.jpg)

SEX WISH:
Zowie--there's a porn ripoff of DEATH WISH? Ha! I think I might have a copy of this poster already (Do I?), but I was not sure. While I haven't seen the flick, I am guessing Harry Reems is in the Charles Bronson role? And how does he get his revenge (in a porn movie)? Sleeping with the bad guys' wives? Whatever--interesting novelty, if nothing else.

STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER (International Style D):
I stumbled on this poster for the last (so far) STAR WARS sequel. I hadn't seen it before, I don't think. It wasn't too terribly expensive, so... I snatched it up. I'm not a STAR WARS fan, but know others are and it could increase in value in the future, a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

And that's another 10...with yet another post already in the works (well, I only have ONE poster...but I am watching a few on emovie and HA. Oh my!). Quick. Easy. DONE!
Until next time (whenever that might be...).
Again, stay SAFE! Stay MASKED! Wash your HANDS!

I'm linking The Moonlighter 3D in Natural Vision. Natural Vision. Natural Vision is a thing, I looked it up! I really like the 3D posters too. Maybe sometime you can show the ones you have thumbsup.gif

And...I'm back. When I started this post weeks ago, I had high hopes of scoring a few long-sought after posters. Eh... the best laid plains... Crash and burn...But I DID get some posters. But there is nothing I am excited about for the most part. But still...it's a post. Take a look or don't. There might be some surprises---or not.
Steve/50s: ALWAYS a huge pleasure (and surprise) to see that you've visited my humble thread. Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you dig the old 3D posters as well. I have a bunch (of course, NOT the ones everyone wants i.e. CREATURE and REVENGE OF THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE, CAT WOMEN ON THE MOON, ROBOT MONSTER, etc.). I'm sure most, if not all, have been posted on here somewhere. But, I will TRY to round them all up and do a special 3D poster posting just for you down the road a piece, There really are some cool vintage 3D one sheets out there.
Okay...let's take a look:
THE MEDUSA TOUCH:
Most people probably have not heard of this utterly dull CARRIE knockoff starring Richard Burton. I could be wrong about it (having only ever seen it on HBO at my father's house when I was a kid), but I don't think so. It would be more well-known if it had been good...or at least decent. (Aside from jumping around in time -- which was confusing--the only thing about the film I remember was Burton bringing down an airplane with his mind!) I probably have one of these already, but wasn't sure. Why get it if I hated it? Well, it is a CARRIE ripoff and I have posters for several (THE FURY, JENNIFER, etc.). Plus, at $2.99, it wasn't too big of an expenditure. Maybe Burton telekinetically made me buy this from beyond the grave? EEEK!

TRAILING THE KILLER:
This is something I would usually not buy. However, the poster appeared to be in good shape and dates back to 1932. That's a year older than KING KONG. For the age alone, I thought it was worth what I paid for it. Perhaps I could resell it down the road for a profit?
Then, it actually arrived. There were tears on the borders and a tear by the cowboy's knee. But the real shocker was the chunk of paper missing from the mountain lion's paw. (see below) I've contacted the seller...and am waiting to hear back. But I'm NOT happy...

CORPSE EATERS:
How many copies of the CORPSE EATERS poster do I have already? Three? Four? More? Well, add another to the pile. This obscure turd of a regional zombie flick is not all that great--yet I really dig the poster. And this was one of the cheaper copies I've seen in a long time. SOLD!

KILLER FISH:
I already have a copy (well, SEVERAL copies) of this poster. What can I say? I have a soft spot for this cheesy movie. At $4.99, why not another copy? If you haven't seen this, it features a decent B-movie cast and is a weird combination of heist movie and JAWS rip-off, with a brief disaster movie moments (one of which features the most ludicrous tornado ever) and some romance. Ha!

MADMAN:
I think I have this already---but maybe not. What I'd really like is the poster for I, MADMAN. But... This is nothing exciting. It's just here because, well, I picked it up. Whoopie.

I, MADMAN:
There... I, MADMAN's poster is far more interesting than MADMAN's. Of course now that I have this, I think I already have one someplace. Oh well.

MEET THE FEEBLES:
I am surprised this bizarre-o film by fan-fave director Peter Jackson doesn't have a bigger following. in fact, I scooped this poster up for very little. Zowie! Thank you others for not knowing it. This flick plays like THE MUPPET SHOW on acid and was only Jackson's third film (according to IMDB). This was the one that came right before the better known DEAD ALIVE...which seems to be as far back as most of his fans go. Hmm. Interesting. I'm just thrilled to score the poster, baby!

GRIZZLY 2: REVENGE:
No one is probably more excited about this sequel than I am. OH MY STARS! The original GRIZZLY starred Christopher George and was essentially a 1976 JAWS ripoff set on land. GRIZZLY 2: REVENGE (aka GRIZZLY 2: THE CONCERT) went into production in (Hungary) 1983...and featured up and coming stars Charlie Sheen, George Clooney and Laura Dern. It also stars Deborah Raffin, John Rhys-Davies, Louise Fletcher, Deborah Foreman, and Charles Cyphers. All of the principal photography was done. All that was needed was some effects inserts, sound mixing and color correction...but the money man disappeared and the projected was shelved for 37 years! Well, it has finally been finished. It's played a few festivals and other places. A poster was produced (Score!---See below) and it will finally see a proper release on DVD/BluRay in January sometime. Wow--I can't wait to see it finally. Even though it's a sequel, I am so pumped to have the poster, too.

THE GIANT LEECHES:
Waaaagh! I have wanted this poster for years. It's on my list. It's a great B-movie classic! However, as thrilled as I am to get one...waaaagh! I am not happy I got this....and it's my own damn fault. Guess who didn't read the description very well? Guess who is stuck with a beautiful poster that is eternally marred with a damned Canadian censor stamp on it? ME!!! The stamp is a deal breaker. I will probably never display this puppy now. Waaaaagh! Waaagh! WAAAGH! (Golly, I'm almost as big of a cry baby as the president. Sorry....)

BEGINNING OF THE END:
This poster should have been THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL or THE BIRDS. This came from the recent Heritage Auctions major auction. The night before it had started, I bid on THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL. When the auction came up, I was watching it. I was the top bidder (or so I thought) and there didn't appear to be anyone bidding against me. It closed and I had won...or so I believed. Later that night, I went to save the hi-res scan and it said someone else had been the high bidder. WHAT!?! How did that happen? UGH!!!! I have been after that poster forever...and it appears to have slipped through my fingers once again. On Sunday, the second day of the major auction, I had my eye on another "must have"--THE BIRDS. (How do I NOT have one of those yet?) As I was waiting for THE BIRDS to come up, this came up and I thought what the heck? The movie is pretty doofy lame, but the poster is kinda fun. I didn't really want it, but was burned by the whole HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL fiasco and just wanted SOMETHING to make up for that. When THE BIRDS came up I bid...and was outbid and bid again. I was outbid and...my phone was ringing while I was trying to bid. ARGH! I tried to get rid of the call and somehow got rid of the auction page! F***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh well....

And that's it. I MIGHT be able to squeeze out one more post (at the very least a partial one) before the year's end. We shall see. (I already have three.)
Come back again, if you'd like. Thank you so much for visiting.

Welcome back and a big ho-ho-ho! It's my final poster post for the year. It's not a full listing of 10 posters as I usually do. There are only 8 listings (actually only 7 posters and 1 lot of vintage 3D glasses). Ha! I could have held off...but with the year winding down, I just thought I'd post what I've got and start working on 2021 (should I acquire anything between now and Dec. 31st, that is... Which is doubtful, looking ahead at my schedule).
As per usual---for this year at least---there isn't really anything monumental in this batch (although one of the posters has been much sought after for a long while now). My move to Washington state has been delayed until next fall (and that is a long story), so I expect any 2021 posters to be less than spectacular as well (because I'll be wanting to save my pennies for the move---and I don't want to keep re-packing the mess that is my movie posters).
Anyway, here's the latest and last batch for the year. Take a gander at them or don't.
MONSTROSITY:
This isn't really a poster, per se. However, this flyer is probably the closest thing this Andy Milligan film ever had to a poster. Made late in his career and premiering straight to video, this 1987 ultra low-rent hodge-podge (literally as well as figuratively) was the third to the last film he made. The reverse features the film's description (in case any investors out there were interested). Milligan was such a schlockster...but as badly made and z-grade as his films were, that didn't stop him from making them and putting them out there. While I wish this were a one sheet, I am happy to have this.

PARADISO (3D glasses):
I've not seen the 1962 nudie cutie, but I have heard of it. In this one, from what I understand, a man is given a pair of sunglasses that are really x-ray spectacles allowing him to see through women's clothing. Spies are after him to get the glasses. Like the fab Canadian horror 3-D flick THE MASK, the 3-D portions of this film occur when the protagonist looks through the X-Ray specs. The audience gets a titillating view as well as the lead character....but in 3-D to boot. I already have a pair of these, but these appear to be in better condition and were cheap-ish. Why not?

GUMS:
For years, I thought this was a joke. It's not. It really exists. It's a porno (I saw the softcore version, but I am sure a hardcore one exists) spoof of JAWS featuring an orally obsessed "mermaid" (with legs...no fish tail as mermaids usually have. The poster lies.) It was clever...for all of 15 minutes or so and then became tedious and lame. Ho hum. I rushed to find/buy this poster in the early moments of my joy at stumbling on a heretofore unknown (to me) JAWS parody. I wish I'd waited a while longer... Ha!

THE UNSEEN (Thai):
Bond girl Barbara Bach stars in this ho-hum horror. I don't know why I bought this. It's not that great of a poster. Even for a Thai poster, it's kind of dull... oh well...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AmCdoFD_zus/X8V0kSynH6I/AAAAAAAAoUM/jr5N0XzPYZUkwEZX5usm_H9k4Sh4uhwEQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/0111%2B%2Bthai_unseen_EB10663_B%2B%2B%2Bbbbbb.jpg)

HOLLYWOOD 90028:
At first glance, you might mistake this for a BEVERLY HILLS 90020 knock off. However this hails from 1973...more than a decade before the TV teen soap opera. Yes, it's an ugly, dull poster...but it's also one you don't see often. Also released as INSANITY and TWISTED THROATS, I knew nothing about this flick until I saw the poster. I IMDB-ed it and the four reviews there intrigued me. The worst one gave it *** and called it "boring". The ***** review called it a missed opportunity. However, the other reviews hooked me. One person referred to it as a "true buried curiosity." Another review gave it 10 stars, calling it "a genuine work of art," Yowza! Both of the positive reviews warned that the film is s-l-o-w and NOT a horror film. But now I'm intrigued. The poster was cheap...and it became mine. Now to find the flick...

THE COMPANY OF WOLVES (Thai):
HORROR OF THE JUNGLE? I've never seen a reference to the film with that title before---other than on this Thai movie poster. I think I might already have a copy of this poster, but I'm not sure. (Just checked. Yep, I had it already...)

HERBIE GOES TO MONTE CARLO:
Okay... My strange and unexpected quest to track down all of the Herbie the Love Bug posters has come to a close with this poster (Unless--God forbid--I decide to go after the remake/reboot/sequel HERBIE FULLY LOADED). Except for the first two movies in the series (THE LOVE BUG and HERBIE RIDES AGAIN--in their initial releases when I was a kid), I've not seen any of the Herbie films (or the TV movie remake, or the TV series). The hunt for the posters started as a fluke and I'm just glad it is done (unless I go for the reboot.... NOOOOO!!!!!). That said, looking at this poster has me thinking several things. This is the third film in the series. Dean Jones was in the first film...and then apparently he gave Herbie (WHAT!?!) to Ken Berry in the sequel. How or why did he get him back for Part 3...and why did he abandon the Love Bug again for part 4? Also, the art on the poster reminds me of an old Saturday morning cartoon I used to watch from w-a-y back, WACKY RACERS. Anyone else remember that? Dick Dastardly? Penelope Pitstop? Anyone? Don Knotts and Roy (Veruca Salt's dad in WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY) Kinnear also star in this Disney flick.

EYEBALL (Bikini version):
I have long wanted this poster for the Umberto Lenzi giallo. I have the other version---but this version is the version to get. In case you are not familiar with the movie, a bus load of American tourists (I want to say they are in Barcelona, Spain) are being killed one by one by a killer in a red robe and hood...by gouging out their eyeballs! (If I were on the tour, I'd have split after the first or second murder! Jinkies!) I had heard bad things about the film before I saw it. However, when I finally tracked it down on disc, I found it engaging and interesting. For a giallo, I thought it was pretty good. This tri-folded poster sure is a winner!

And...jeepers creepers...that is it (at least until next year). Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Joyful Kwanza, Festive New Year's, Fabulous Fake Jan Day, etc. Stay SAFE through it all if you can. The vaccines will be widely available soon enough. You can do this.
Thanks for visiting--as always. I'll see you NEXT year! (Well, I'll be posting my BEST OF 2020 soon--but that is a big rerun in a sense and doesn't count).

Congratulations on completing your Herbie collection. I see something in the poster as well reminding of wacky races... maybe the sharp nose car or 2 people per car. Well done.

Ha! Whoo.... I have the Herbie posters. Such a monumental accomplishment. NOT! But I am glad someone else remembers WACKY RACERS. You are right. Some of the cars did have two occupants. There was the cavemen guys, the military guys, the hillbilly and the bear---probably others that I don't recall. Even Dick Dastardly had Muttley. Thanks for visiting. Cheers!

Nice pick ups as usual. I was gunning for that Thai Company of Wolves (and several others) recently!
Dug deep into my archives for this gem I thought you might like. (hey Vick who's thread is this anyway?)

Welcome to 2021 and a new year of cool, vintage movie posters (hopefully). Jeepers, I am already starting the year off with three or four titles I am very excited about. (Psst! They are towards the bottom.) I don't expect to buy much this year, actually. I know I say that all of the time, but this year I will have all sorts of crazy medical expenses and a move (California to Washington--sometime this coming fall). I can't afford much... EEEK! I shouldn't have bought these. (Yes, I should have. I NEEDED them, right?) Anyway, take a look or don't.
Oh! It looks like the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is about to begin. Grab a seat and here we go-go...

TENEMENT (aka GAME OF SURVIVAL):
I already have a copy of this...but it and the one below were "free" with another purchase. This is a video one sheet...and it has been re-titled from the theatrical release as GAME OF SURVIVAL. Grindhouse legend Roberta Findlay directed this sleaze epic. It was released not so long ago on BluRay with the combined title TENEMENT: GAME OF SURVIVAL. Rolled tri-fold.

THE INCREDIBLE TORTURE SHOW (aka BLOODSUCKING FREAKS):
Another freebie I already have...but I will gladly take another copy. This is the original release poster for the infamous BLOODSUCKING FREAKS, a pretty grim low-budget sickie shocker from the 70s that the folks at Troma bought and rechristened with the better (and more exploitative) moniker. The poster shows it was rated X...but it was for violence, not porn.

GOLIATH AND THE GIANTS (Italian 2 foglio re-release):
Although I dig (most of) the old gladiator/peplum/"Hercules"-type films from the late-50's/early 60's, I pretty much have all of the ones I want. I only display my horror stuff and am kind of done collecting these. I would have passed on this had it not been so cheap (maybe $7, I think?). Eh? Why not? Sold.

BARRACUDA (French large):
I have one of these already, but I paid a lot more for that one than this one. I love my JAWS knockoffs and there is another grande-sized poster like this on eBay for more than $800! Yikes! So...why not a spare? I never got to see JAWS in its initial release (nor JAWS 2 --but I did see them in their re-releases in the early 80s). BARRACUDA came out in 1978 and it was the first JAWS-like movie I got to see. Sure, the film was NOT great, but at the time, I'd take what I could get.

ERASERHEAD (Italian 2 foglio 2017 re-release):
Although I'd much rather have a US one sheet for this, I don't think one sheets for ERASERHEAD actually exist. Even though this is Italian and a re-release, it still features the famed photo of Jack Nance in David Lynch's disturbing debut feature film.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E6w9n764igM/X_o8LNGb5AI/AAAAAAAAqYo/CttiMYimx1gaL2dTZDFxfn5RuAeHQpLiACLcBGAsYHQ/w456-h640/italian_1p_eraserhead_R17_EB10734_B%2B%2Bbbbb.jpg)

VOODOO BLACK EXORCIST:
I know this is an UGLY poster. It's an even WORSE movie. I've been hunting this movie poster down for YEARS. While I paid more for it than I would have liked to, I have bid higher (and lost) for the poster in the past. What's the deal-i-o? This is actually a Spanish movie from 1975 that has been dubbed and retitled to not only exploit the then-recent hit THE EXORCIST, but also play up the popular horror blaxploitation market of the era. The mummy of a voodoo priest is brought back to life on a cruise ship. It sounds interesting but is total crap and utterly forgettable (scoring a whopping 2.5 stars out of 10 on IMDB.com). But as a collector of schlock and blaxploitation horror posters, I had to have this.

FROGS (Italian 2 Foglio):
Ooooo... I have been after the Italian poster for FROGS for a long time. Hot diggity! Such amazing horror art of nature gone amuck ,.,.with lizards, spiders, a snake...and, ironically, not a single frog anywhere to be seen. ("Rane" is Italian for "frogs," so I am guessing by retaining the FROGS title, Italian movie goers could have had no idea frogs were even in the movie.)

QUEEN OF BLOOD:
This was an unexpected pick up that I am o' so delighted to have scored. This poster is GORGEOUS (as most of AIP's horror/sci fi posters were back in the day...). The film is set in the near future (1990! Zowie!) when Earth makes contact with an alien race. Basil Rathbone, John Saxon and Dennis Hopper star. Wild, out of this world action with a green alien "vampire." (Is that giving anything away?) EEK!

SPOOK CHASERS:
I have a few Bowery Boys posters, starting with THE BOWERY BOYS MEET THE MONSTERS (of course). After that find, I became aware of this title---and have been after it since. SPOOK CHASERS? How could I NOT want it? I've been outbid on it left and right. I spotted this one on eBay. Hmm. I watched it for weeks...possibly months. Compared to others I'd missed out on, it was a fair price...and it looked to be in pretty good condition. Plus it was from a dealer I had purchased from in the past. I don't know why I was dragging my feet...but I finally bit the bullet and bought it. Whoo hoo!

THE HORROR SHOW:
I spent more on this than I would have liked--but it was worth it. I've seen this poster in the past, but usually in another language. However, this was in English and a one-sheet size. I've never seen this documentary and I never knew it existed until I first saw the poster. This poster seems to be hard to find, as well (Or maybe I've just been unlucky in tracking one down?). But just look at the poster....ZOWIE! It features a horror smorgasbord of horror figures from throughout film history. How could I pass this up? IMDB says this was a TV movie---so, of course, any one sheet would be hard to track down. (This is clearly an international one sheet for foreign theatrical distribution---hence the lack of a rating.)

Hi Monster, Your The Horror Show poster reminds me a bit of The Atomic Movie Orgy movie clip marathon live shows that went around college campuses in the late 1960s and 70s. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Movie_Orgy
I have one of the posters for it around here somewhere.
Okie

Hi there. Thanks for the note...and for the info on that "movie". I had never heard of it before, but after reading the wiki description, I can see how THE HORROR SHOW poster would remind you of it. How nice that you've been visiting APF. I knew you took a break. Cheers

Had to keep up with Lil Ole Monster and your lurid poster bash.

Hello there and thanks for coming to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show, but... UGH! I am so annoyed with myself... I was hoping to avoid buying more C-R-A-P I don't need this year...and here I am with, yes, a bunch o' crap posters I don't need. The first one was a freebie...so that doesn't count. The 2nd poster, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th I really could have done withOUT. With the exception of one title that was ruined in shipping, they were NOT repeats of previous purchases, at least. Heck, I'm not even sure I needed the 8th or 10th poster either... Waaagh! Waaaaagh! Oh well, it is what it is. I'll just have to be more careful in my next batch. (However, I've already started it off with an interesting but ultimately unnecessary/unneeded poster. Hmm...)
Well... You've been warned. Have you got your peepers warmed up? Take a look at this batch if you'd like -- or don't.
THE RITZ:
This poster, believe it or not, was a freebie of sorts. It was used as packing material around a pair of posters I bought (somewhere below). Ha!

KILLER TOMATOES STRIKE BACK (video):
I really enjoyed the wonderfully bad original ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES (the poster of which I have framed and hanging). Amazingly, there were three sequels and an animated TV series based on the zany film. I never saw the TV show, but I have slogged through the sequel films...and I must say they are crap...especially KILLER TOMATOES STRIKE BACK. Zzzzz. This is a video poster. I don't think this even had a theatrical release, so....in order to complete the collection (ho-hum...) , the video poster will have to do. John Astin was in all of the sequels as Professor Gangrene. (Snore...) (At least he got a job...) The poster art is juvenile at best--just like the movie.

RETURN OF THE KILLER TOMATOES (video):
This is the first KILLER TOMATOES sequel---and the video release poster. It did play theatrically (and I do have the poster for that), but I like this video poster better than the theatrical version. I like the play off of RAMBO although no tomatoes grow bodies and become renegade commandos as the poster might suggest. This (and the subsequent sequels) is NOTHING like the original film. I just saw this not too long ago. It was bad (as I remembered). However, a very young George Clooney is one of the stars...and seeing him as a clueless young 80's adult is amusing in an "I can't believe that's George Clooney" kind of way. I had one of these already, but it was ruined in the mail---there's a nasty wrinkle down the left side from top to bottom. This is a replacement.

FREAKY:
I wanted to see this, but...you know, pandemic and all. This is like a horror twist to the old FREAKY FRIDAY premise. Instead of a mom and daughter switching bodies, we have a serial killer and his intended female victim switching places. Very clever idea. I would love to see Vince Vaughn acting as if he had the soul of a college co-ed in him. (Shades of Jack Black at a ditzy blonde in the JUMANGI film, perhaps?) But, lame poster...and nothing I really needed (unless I see the movie and love it?)

CREATURE OF THE WALKING DEAD:
What is this? I don't think I had ever heard of this flick when I came across this poster. Walking dead? Count me in...but what a aesthetically challenged poster (i.e. it's UGLY). It was cheap...but I don't know what the hell I was thinking...

THE STELLAR INSPECTOR (Russian):
In 2019, I got to visit Russia and meet a friend there. I had left my travelling companions in London and gone alone. Yes, I spent time with my friend, but he works nights and sleeps during the day...so the bulk of my time there was spent alone. But I had an amazing adventure---and saw and did so much on my own at my own pace. Not long after returning, I saw the original VIY, Russia's first horror film. On a Russian kick for a while, I got a re-release poster of VIY from eMovieposter.com (which I was thrilled to get). When I got it, I noticed this poster available as well. I have no connection to this poster at all. I'd at least seen VIY. This just has cool art and is Russian. I got this recently...but really, I didn't need this at all.

THE STEWARDESSES (3D):
Believe it or not, I had not gotten a copy of THE STEWARDESSES in 3D before now. (At least, I don't think I did...) I'm a H-U-G-E vintage 3D nut...so this is a groovy score for me. Although I have it on BluRay, I have yet to watch it. I still need to somehow find a 3D TV. Ha! THE STEWARDESSES was a huge hit. It was made for $100,000 and grossed $25 million. It also inspired the stewardess subgenre of exploitation films that filled the screens of drive ins throughout the 70s. But the really interesting thing about this flick is that, even though it was released in 1968, the producers kept filming new things and adding them in, deleting other stuff, of changing things around throughout the life of this flick until it stopped its initial theatrical run in 1971. There was later an XXX version with porno inserts. I wonder which version(s) are on the BluRay. Ha!

ZOMBIE STRIPPERS:
I am reasonably sure I haven't seen this...and yet, I have a vague memory of seeing a zombie movie set in a strip club. Can there be more than one zombie stripper movie? Ha! This is rolled, not folded. It was made to look distressed as if it were folded, but it wasn't. There were a lot of bootlegs floating around of this title. I hope this isn't, but mine is single sided and may very well be a fake. Hmm. Oh well. I really didn't "need" this. Did I?

YOU:
"Experience FEEL-A-VISION!" Oh my stars! FINALLY!!! I have been after one of these for literally decades, since reading about it in THE GOLDEN TURKEY AWARDS book years ago. YOU is a lost adult film (I think it's just a nudie, but it may be porn). The "star" of the picture is YOU. It's a gimmick movie (Feel-A-Vision) and the gimmick, as best I can make out, is that the camera takes on the perspective of the main character of the film...which is also the viewer...basically the camera is the point of view. Easy but clever....and unfortunately lost! I've only seen a couple of these over the years and have always been outbid. I pounced on this one. It's a little rough here and there, but I am thrilled to have it. The gimmick also reminds me of the bit from KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE where the guy goes to see a movie presented in FEEL-A-ROUND, where an usher stands behind the movie goer and does things to him (grabs his collar, slaps him, lights a cigarette, etc.) that happen on the screen. Ha!

THE INVISIBLE MAN (Egyptian 2010 re-release):
I think I am happy with this purchase... Yes, it is a re-release poster...and yes, it is from Egypt with Egyptian writing on it (to the left of the word "Man"). However, the fact that they used the original poster artwork made this appealing to me. A) It IS an authentic movie poster. B) It utilizes that original artwork C) It is not just a "print" or an "S2" reproduction. D) It's Universal horror, baby! Sure, the slightly smaller size (25 3/4" x 40") bugs me a little bit, as does the Egyptian writing--but it's still gorgeous. And while it went for a little more than I wanted it to price-wise, it wasn't that bad. I can happily frame and display it with my other, minor Universal horror pieces. I am happy with this, aren't I? Am I? I hope so...but I'm just NOT sure...

Okay---that's it for this time.
You've survived. CONGRATULATIONS!!
CHEERS!

You've survived. CONGRATULATIONS!!
You're selling yourself short, man!
THE RITZ: A FREE poster, nestled amongst other posters? Totally unexpected? What is this madness, or dare I say -- magic? And is that tloce's brown carpet? (just wondering...)
CREATURE OF THE WALKING DEAD: I dig the monochrome art. A lot of the 50-60s Canadian posters (same with the aussie ones) are one-color wonders. They may be less appealing but in this case, the black and white works.
THE STELLAR INSPECTOR: I'm on the fence when it comes to Russian posters (the earlier ones). I find the images/art/subject can look depressed, but at the same time there is some beauty to it. I also like the 'pulp' feel of the old paper. THE STELLAR INSPECTOR is a much nicer 1980 print -- and you've got a story to boot! Sean - who the fuck vacations in Russia? Well done, sir, you're much more adventurous than I am!
YOU: at 28x 42, could it be Canadian? Either way, I DIGIT!
Keep it up amigo.
-
CRAZY VICK!!!! How delightful to see you here.
Yes, THE RITZ was totally free and unexpected. It was folded around YOU and THE STEWARDESSES to add extra protective padding. Really!
CREATURE OF THE WALKING DEAD...I'm still on the fence about it. Oh well.
THE STELLAR INSPECTOR: Sure I went to Russia. It was a new place to explore, I have a friend there--and, as you said, who vacations in Russia? It was off the beaten tourist path. My traveling companions both wanted to go to London for their first time...and I'd been before. (I did later rejoin them in Italy---which was also a big rerun for me, but they were freaked being in a place that spoke Italian even though I told them they'd be okay...which they were.)
Where did you get the 28x42 dimensions for YOU? I think it was standard one sheet size...maybe a tad smaller, if anything. Sorry...
Thanks for stopping by and saying hello!
CHEERS!
-
And is that tloce's brown carpet? (just wondering...)
I forgot to mention this. But, NO! That is not tloce's brown carpet. It's my sad, needs-to-be-replaced tan carpet, unfortunately. Avoiding tloce is MUST!

Another great haul there. Stewardesses is thumbup thumbup and interesting history.
The way you describe the plot for Freaky is certainly a shock-a-rama. faint2.gif
The travels abroad are also interesting. Sounds like you could start another great thread or maybe a blog, book, etc. on those.

Zowie! Thanks for the note. I'm glad you found some things of interest this time as well. I do hope to see FREAKY eventually (and THE STEWARDESSES in 3D--finally!) And it is always a pleasure having you visit my thread. Thank you.
Okie: I just need to add a note for you in here, too...as I neglected to mention your visit as well. You know I dig ya! Thanks for stopping by. CHEERS!

Cool colors on Steller Inspector, Monster. Jenna Jameson as a Zombie Stripper?! Sorry boys, my butt cheek fell off just a little. "World War G!" Crazy stuff, Monster. Okie

Hi Okie! I'm glad that there were a few things of interest in the last batch. It's nice to see you here. Cheers

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! I have been striving (really...I HAVE) to only get good posters I either "need" or that I find "nice". Unfortunately, some repeats got me to buy them again and a few others aren't exactly What I would call "nice" or things that are "needed". Oh well... It is what it is. But you were foolish...er, lucky enough to venture in today. Have a seat. Let me help you get a better view... There's NO getting away from the poster show today. Mwah-ha-ha-ha-haaaa!

GUMS:
You may be scratching your head thinking I recently got one of these posters. You would be correct. However, when I got mine, I realized there was a chunk of paper missing and I needed a replacement...so I got this. You may also be thinking that, at the time I posted the original poster, I was none too excited about it. That would also be correct. So why buy another copy if I'm not wild about it? Because I'm a dork/spazoid. Ha!

STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME:
I came across a small, online auction (with a live component on the actual day the auctions closed). During the pre-auction early bidding, I bid on several posters that were cheap. I think this is the only one I walked away with for the minimum bid of $10 (plus shipping). I didn't need it, but.. Oh well.

REVENGE OF THE DEAD:
I know I have a couple of copies of this poster. The zombie artwork is awesome---which is why I have bought more than one. Plus I found this at a reasonable "buy it now" price. I've seen this go for much higher than I paid for it. The sad thing is, that this movie is pretty much total CRAP. It's long and slow and boring...and nothing (certainly NO ZOMBIES) happens in it. The whole bit about it "containing scenes which may be considered shocking" and "no one under 17 admitted" is pure PR hokum designed to get butts in the theater (as it did with similar announcements on worthy films such as DAWN OF THE DEAD, MANIAC, and PIECES, etc.). Still--the poster is super cool.

FROM BEYOND:
I was not entirely sure I had this poster (Do I? I probably do...). However, this non-related follow up to RE-ANIMATOR, while not nearly as good or successful, was still interesting enough. I came across the poster as a "buy it now" for a not too crazy price and...now I'm sure I have a copy. Ha!

STAR WARS (1978 Re-Release):
I have long said I am not a STAR WARS fan, although I have seen most of the films (excluding Parts 2 and 3) in the theater. However, I know STAR WARS is a popular series and the poster sometimes demand high prices. The "Two Weeks Only" re-release from 1978 is nothing special to look at. However, it (like the STAR TREK IV poster above) was at this small online auction I stumbled on...and the price--although higher than I'd liked to have gone--was not all that expensive. Perhaps it will bring me a pretty penny later on, should I decide to sell the thing. May the Force be with STAR WARS movie poster price appreciation...

KILL BABY KILL (2017 re-release):
Yes, this is a re-release poster. I have the original release poster, but it is completely different. This one features some of the creepy atmosphere of the film. If you haven't seen this Mario Bava flick, you are missing out on some delicious Italian horror. The film doesn't make a lot of sense, but is macabrely wonderful to look at. I originally saw it on a cheap-o release and was so impressed I went back and got the BluRay.

GODZILLA VS KONG (International Advance):
I really thought the last monster flick, 2018's GODZILLA-KING OF THE MONSTERS, was a dud. I was b-o-r-e-d. I'd probably NOT bother with this upcoming giant monster slug fest, except...hello? It's also a KING KONG movie---my FAVORITE of the big monsters. While I'm NOT expecting much, I am looking forward to it. As it is also a KONG film, I had to get the poster as well. I had to get a foreign copy as the US ones are cra-cra-zy high right now. They'll probably drop a year or so down the line (as evidenced by the prices falling for the previous modern GODZILLA and KONG films). I'm not expecting much at all...I just hope it doesn't totally suck.

SUSPIRIA (video poster):
Although I have the US one sheet and a foreign poster as well, the VHS promo poster I always found pretty groovy as well. I didn't realize it was new art created for the home video release. I thought it must have been pulled (as all other video posters seemed to be) from an existing movie poster. I resisted buying a video poster because I hope to score a theatrical copy with same art. Never found one. Glad I ended up with a video release poster after all.

HOTEL RESERVE:
I knew nothing of this flick when I bought this poster. James Mason and Herbert Lom are the only names I recognize. However, I was charmed by the old-school art and graphics. It apparently a British flick from 1944 (released in the US in 1946) that involves an innocent man (Mason) who is suspected of being a spy who has to prove his innocence. It has a fairly decent 6.2 rating on IMDB. What I find flabbergasting is that it was made during WWII in England, a country that was no stranger to bombings by the Germans. I guess the world--including the movie business--doesn't screech to a halt during war time. I realize our movie industry didn't stop production, but--with the exception of the then-US territory Hawaii and the attack on Pearl Harbor--we did not have attacks on this shore during the war.

INNER SANCTUM:
Several years ago, I scored the one sheet poster for THE FROZEN GHOST. I knew nothing about the film other than it starred Lon Chaney Jr, Evelyn Ankers and Milburn Stone, which I gleaned from just looking at the poster. I also learned that it was a big screen adaptation of the INNER SANCTUM radio mysteries of the era. Nifty. I became aware that there were other INNER SANCTUM films in the series and I tucked that knowledge away in the back of my head, hoping to score the others along the way sometime. I had seen the poster below a time or two. As it was called simply INNER SANCTUM, I assumed it was the first in the series. I recently scored a copy and looked into it a bit more. Zowie! This film (and poster) hails from 1948. The film series of six films (that included THE FROZEN GHOST and all of which starred Lon Chaney Jr) cranked out by Universal that ran from 1943 - 1945. This film seems to be a one-off attempt to revive interest in the series by some lesser company (M.R.S. Pictures Inc.) after Universal threw in the towel. In fact, on the Wikipedia page for INNER SANCTUM, there is no mention of this later film at all. So, okay... I'll count it as a 7-picture series now that I've scored this poster...leaving me with 5 more posters (CALLING DR. DEATH, STRANGE CONFESSION, DEAD MAN'S EYES, WEIRD WOMAN, and PILLOW OF DEATH) left to track down... Whoopie...

CHEERS!

As a huge Jaws fan I've thought about that Gums poster but have never pulled the trigger.

That Suspiria is great. I remember seeing it years ago and forgot about it. You reminded me of it, so I went to look for one on Ebay, but they're all folded and somewhat damaged with pinholes and tears. I want a rolled mint copy, so I guess I'll have to wait. But I like it a lot,

eric160634: The JAWS spoof element was the only reason I bought this poster (again). As I said, the original poster I got had a small bit o' missing paper. Scroll back a page and look down at the at the bottom of the drawn water....almost directly below the right porthole. It was photographed against a white background, so it is hard to see the missing piece. But the missing bit of paper annoys the crap out of me. If you are in the US and want that defective poster, message me and I'll send it to you---FREE! Cheers--and welcome to APF if I haven't welcomed you already.
Thierry: Every time you appear on my thread, I am utterly surprised. But hey--welcome and I am thrilled that you like the SUSPIRIA video poster. I forget that despite the fact that we have different tastes, you do sometimes dig the occasional classic horror flick now and again. Delighted to see you here. CHEERS!

For sure, we don't collect the same stuff hahaha. But I always check your new acquisition (because it's always fun to see what other people collect), and if I see something I like, I mention it. Thanks for the cheers!!!

Tickets! Get your tickets! The Shock-O-Rama poster Show is back again...and about to start! Don't push. Don't crowd. There's plenty o' room inside to get a gander at today's offering of "new" (to me) vintage posters.
THIERRY: Okay then. Thanks for dropping by. I'm glad you dug the SUSPIRIA. CHEERS (again).
OKIE: A foreskin pirate? Ha! More marvelous interpretive insanity. LOVE IT! And German Expressionism is about the only thing my Sanctum's got going for it these days. Ha! Thanks for the visit.
Quick! Quick! Find a seat! The lights are starting to dim... The show is about to begin.
THE EAGLE'S SHOWDOWN:
I think I have another copy or two of this poster...but I'm not sure. I've never seen this flick and know nothing about. Why buy it? The art makes it look like it's in 3D...although there's no mention of it on the poster. Is it a 3D flick? I have no idea. I can't find much...well, ANY...information about the film. But, gimmick whore that I am, I had to get a copy (or two or three or...), just in case. It was cheap anyway. Love that the theater depicted in the poster art looks like a former movie palace turned grindhouse. So appropriate. Ha!

THE RIPPER (video poster):
Ugh. I didn't need this. I was going after other items...and saw this to pad the package out. I bid on it...and was outbid on the other items I was originally after. ARGH! That happens far too often. Ha! This is the video poster (there was no theatrical release) for one of the early shot-on-video flicks during the VHS era. Special effects make-up super star Tom Savini stars...sort of...as Jack the Ripper.

HEADLESS ENTANGLEMENT:
I have NO IDEA what this movie is about. But HEADLESS ENTANGLEMENT? Obviously this isn't something that played at your local multiplex. I stumbled on this (and the poster below). This appears to be a poster that was printed for a local showing of the film in Colorado (based on the poster below). I thought it was unusual and unique...and cheap. Why not?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--A-8qcAiAPk/YEQzTmLKSBI/AAAAAAAAtCE/8AMTKPBRSL8yya26Y1wG8MMO46iT9ZdUwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/0111%2Bs-l1600%2B%25282%2529dgdthtfhrtyr.jpg)

CHRISTMAS CRUELTY and HEADLESS ENTANGLEMENT (Film festival poster?):
This is the poster that attracted me to buying the poster above. Apparently the films played on succeeding nights at a place called The Gorehound's Playground in Colorado. I looked it up. It's a video store with a small theater, apparently. With a poster totally inspired by (read "ripped off from") the movie "GRINDHOUSE", strange movies and interesting verbiage ("Two nights filled with Norwegian madness" and "2 sick movies in 1 go"), I quickly decided that it would be a fun lil' purchase. Why not? I just wish that an individual poster for CHRISTMAS CRUELTY had been available as well. Oh well... These will probably never see the light of day anyway...

STARCRASH:
This wacky STAR WARS-inspired space epic is sooooo cheesy. I already have a copy (or two or three) of this poster. This was actually a free bonus poster that arrived with another poster I bought. How nice. What a cast! Caroline Munro (in that amazing outfit)! Christopher Plummer! Joe Spinell! A pre-fame David Hasselhoff! Marjoe Gortner (ha!)! Music by John Barry! Directed by Lewis Coates (aka Luigi Cozzi)!

ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA:
I am fairly certain I have one of these already. I don't know why I went for a second copy, especially since the drawn style of poster is the one I prefer. Oh well. It wasn't that expensive and I couldn't pass it up. Fresh from their co-starring underground smash, ANDY WARHOL'S FRANKENSTEIN, Udo Kier is Dracula and Joe D'Allesadro appears as a handyman who de-"wirgin"-izes some young ladies the count has his eye on.

TO THE DEVIL ...A DAUGHTER (British one sheet):
Nastassja Kinski was only 14 when she starred in this Hammer Films produced horror flick, based on a Dennis Wheatley novel. Richard Widmark, Christopher Lee, Honor Blackman, and Denholm Elliott also star. It's not the greatest poster ever, but I don't think I had the British one sheet yet (which is different from the US poster), so...I picked it up. I didn't need it though. Perhaps the devil (or his daughter?) made me do it.

THE INCREDIBLE SEX RAY:
Ha! This is a poster for a porn movie apparently. No, I've not seen it. I'm sure what I imagine it to be like (the sex ray from an alien invasion?) and what it really is like are too different things...and I'd be disappointed. Big John Holmes stars. Zowie! I do dig the giant eyeball staring down with the ray (?) coming from it, though.

THE EMPIRE STRIKE BACK (1982 re-release):
Hmm. I recently stumbled on another surprisingly affordable STAR WARS series poster. I'm not a fan, but know they can be worth some bucks sometimes, so... I picked this up. It's only a re-release. But, I do think this was the first re-release? It's not mint. It has some wear and staple holes, but it's not in bad shape at all.

THE SUICIDE CULT:
This was a lucky/cheap pickup. This poster is an alternate title for the flick THE ASTROLOGER that Severin recently gave new life to. I haven't seen THE ASTROLOGER/THE SUICIDE CULT yet, but I still feel lucky (hopefully) to have snagged this poster. The credits are a snipe that has been glued on top of other credits, but it is hardly noticeable.

Congratulations...You've made it through another show. Now WAKE UP, wipe the drool off of your chin and the arm rest, and go out into the fresh, clean air, and be glad to be alive (and glad to be leaving the poster show. Ha!).
Thank you for visiting. Stay safe, See you next time.

Hello! Welcome back to the SHOCK-O-RAMA POSTER SHOW! Happy spring...and how are you? I hope all is well. And thank you for coming. Today's batch o' posters are okay. There's nothing I am super excited about this round, but the next posting (which--Gasp!) is pretty much done and features (I think) more interesting movie paper. Oooooo. No. No hints now. You'll have to come back in mid-April to see. Until then, we can explore the tidbits and curiosities I have ready for you today.

Let's take a closer look...
SCOOB:
I know this film is supposed to be bad. I haven't seen it yet. But--I am a big SCOOBY DOO fan. I was hoping to see this in the theaters--but the pandemic hit and the film went straight to video instead of pushing back its release. I'll get to it eventually--although I'm not expecting much. This was cheap, so...

THE IMMORAL MR. TEAS and WILD GALS OF THE NAKED WEST (re-release combo):
It's a double dose of Russ Meyer! I've never seen either of these flicks. The only Russ Meyer I've seen is FASTER PUSSYCAT KILL! KILL! and BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS. However, this double feature was reasonably priced and looks to be dayglow. I wonder if it is? How fun if it is.

NO TIME TO DIE (IMAX):
I love my James Bond movies...but I am not wild about the posters. Since when? The Timothy Dalton era, the Bond poster (once so stunning with their Robert McGinnis art) became nothing but glorified Photoshop projects. The latest batch for the upcoming NO TIME TO DIE are no exceptions. SNORE! Still, I have a poster for each movie. While I have two of the advances for this one (for the planned April and November releases last year), I didn't have this IMAX version. So... It will never be framed and hung, but...

VIY (Russian re-release):
I got one of these last year (or was it the year before?). It's a re-release (probably 80s, according to eMovieposter) for the first Russian horror movie, VIY. I was going to send my original copy to a friend I have in Russia who said he loved the flick as a kid, watching it on television. But... I never got around to sending it, largely because I liked the poster so much. So...I got another copy and will be sending this off soon. (Maybe...)

BLADE RUNNER 2049:
I probably already have one of these...but for some reason I think the one I have has issues. I'm not sure. I threw it in the basket to round a purchase. What the heck?

THE ADVENTURES OF HERCULES (aka THE LOVES OF HERCULES) (Spain):
Okay--me getting this was a given. I like my HERCULES flicks and I am a big Jayne Mansfield fan. I have the Italian poster (which makes no mention of Jayne being in it, despite the fact she plays TWO roles in the film), but had never seen this version until I stumbled on it quite by accident. Jayne's hubby Mickey Hargitay gives the Hercules role a shot. (Mickey's battle with a largely immobile three-headed dragon is so pathetically awesome - awful.) It's a pretty bad flick, but... I dig it. And I HAD to get this.

THE SADIST OF NOTRE DAME (Spain):
This flick comes from legendary sleazemeister Jess Franco. Recently unearthed, brushed off and brought back into the spotlight via Severin Films on DVD and BluRay, I decided to pick this poster up when I ran across it for a number of reasons. First, it is a country of origin poster. Second, it was Franco and cheap (The two are sort of synonymous. Ha!) Third, anyone recognize the obvious theft of the hand with the knife artwork from the HALLOWEEN one sheet? Ha! Although I have the film on DVD (I got it on closeout--$3.95. Why not?), I have not had the chance to see it yet. However, I had not seen this poster before buying the flick. The photo images on the poster, the costumes and the set piece shown made me realize (just now as I am writing this) that this is Franco's (AWFUL--in my opinion) flick EXORCISM (aka DEMONIAC). Crap...

REPULSION (Spain):
Of my trio of Spanish posters today, I do not recall which I stumbled upon first. I wasn't looking for any of them in particular. I just happened upon them. I have no paper on REPULSION, and this poster--although not great--wasn't repulsive to me...and the price was nice. It's from 1974, but I don't know if that means it was a re-release or if the film never made it to Spain until then. (Although it is referred to as "la obra maestra de Roman Polanski" or Roman Polanski's masterpiece and also "ahora en version doblada" or now in a dubbed version--meaning it probably is a re-release.) The artwork is by famed Spanish poster artist Jano. Eh...whatever.

SAVAGE MUTINY:
Most people would look at this and dismiss it. Why would he want this poster? It's not horror. You are right. It's not. What it is, is one of the hard-to-find Jungle Jim posters. Johnny Weissmuller was the first talking Tarzan...and I really dig the TARZAN series. Once Weissmuller aged out of the role, he was recruited to play adventurer Jungle Jim in a series of 16 films. Weissmuller later also starred in a 26-episode TV version. JUNGLE JIM posters are hard to find and often pricey. I have a rough copy of this one already (so, I am glad to get an upgrade). I also have JUNGLE MOON MEN and CANNIBAL ATTACK. Now just 13 more titles to go. Ha! (Coincidentally, Johnny Sheffield, who played "Boy" in the Tarzan films, also aged out of the role and appeared in a series of 12 films as BOMBA THE JUNGLE BOY.)

GODZILLA VS KONG (International style B):
As I am writing this, GODZILLA VS KONG has not debuted. Even though I hated the last GODZILLA movie, I am a H-U-G-E fan of KING KONG. I'm not expecting much, but am hoping for the best. I am also hoping to see this on the big screen. Hopefully theaters will be re-opening (if they have not already, they will soon) and I'll be able to see this on the big screen, in 3D, (and possibly in 4DX). I've had my first COVID vaccination already and my second was March 23rd--a week before this is due to open. While it is still scary to go out, I'll be more protected and theaters should still be limiting the number of people they allow in. If theaters don't open, I can always catch this at the old drive-in a couple of towns over. I'm guessing GODZILLA will win this match. (KONG won back in the 60s the first time they met up.) That would be a bummer, but...at least it's a KONG movie. (I do like GODZILLA usually, but he's been in several lame movies...)

And that's it for today. But be sure to return in mid-April. I hope you like the goodies I have prepared for you then...and that the pieces I shared today were not too disappointing.
Get your vaccinations and stay safe. The pandemic is (hopefully) winding down.
CHEERS!

Nice to see Savage Mutiny, Monster. I think Weismuller also "girthed out" of the loin cloth. Jungle elastic waistband?! Okie

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! It's April 15th, a special day around here... It's my (Gasp!) birthday. Because of that, this is a big blow out celebration. Instead of a mere 10 posters (as per my usual posts), this is everything I've gotten since my last post in March. (Yes, there's the usual junk/crap ...but also some not-so-bad and some pretty nifty stuff as well.)
OKIE: Zowie! It is always sooooo nice to see you here. Yes, Weissmuller did "girth out". No jungle elastic waistbands...or LYCRA leopard prints. So sad. At least he found a job... Welcome to the party today. CHEERS!
Now, without further ado, let's let the party begin!

GIRLS NITE OUT (25x38):
Wow! One of the more obscure 80s slasher posters fell into my lap. This one measures 25x38, but it hasn't been trimmed, nor is it a video poster. There actually was a 27x41 poster printed (also very elusive) with different art (just some girls fleeing in terror on a dull white background). Neither poster is that interesting (but this one---with the photo and the letter beneath it--is the better of the two), but I am glad to have one.

WENDY (Advance):
I had never heard of this movie (but have since looked it up and it seems to be a modern twist/take on PETER PAN) when I got this. It was a freebie at a local theater that had recently re-opened. Poster whore that I am, I took it. Thank you, Maya Theater.

GALLOWS 2:
I didn't really need this--at all. However, I had a chance to meet the creative team behind it and they had a poster and...why not? They signed it...but I kind of wish they hadn't. Oh well. (Full story below...)

HELD:
You may not have heard of HELD. It's a smaller film and it is debuting right when theaters are just starting to re-open. Instead of GODZILLA VS KONG or THE UNHOLY, this is the film I was seeing when I got the WENDY poster above. HELD was from the same company that gave us THE GALLOWS and its sequel--such as they are. THE GALLOWS films and HELD were produced and made in the area where I live. Since HELD is not a well-known blockbuster, it will probably disappear quickly--so I wanted to give the "local guys" some support and see their flick. Seeing how it is a locally produced movie, I wondered if I could also score a copy of its poster. I looked up the production company, found their website and sent them this note a few days before going to see the film:
"Dear Tremendum Pictures,
CONGRATULATIONS! I recently saw an article about you and your locally filmed feature HELD. I am planning on seeing the film (hopefully) this coming Tuesday at the Maya Cinema in Fresno.
The reason for my note, in addition to congratulating you all, is to inquire about the movie poster. I am a collector of movie posters. I have thousands of them--literally. Although I was fortunate to get to attend a screening of THE GALLOWS and receive an autographed mini-poster from the film (signed by Mr. Lofing and Mr. T. Cluff, I believe), I still sought out and purchased a full-sized (27x40) theatrical-sized poster. I missed GALLOWS 2 altogether. It came and went in a week--while I was out of town. (I have it on BluRay, but sadly have not seen it as of yet.) I am writing to find out if it would be possible toy buy a theatrical size one sheet for HELD. Even though I have yet to see it (but plan to Tuesday), I really would love a poster to add to my collection and to show support to the local guy. If a poster is available, please just let me know how much it is (including postage) and I would be more than happy to send it your way.
Thank you so much."
I didn't hear back from them. So, on Tuesday before we went to the movie, I sent this second note off with a copy of the digital Fandango receipt:
"Hello again. Just so you know I was not kidding. Here is my receipt for my HELD tickets for this afternoon's showing. Wishing you the best with this endeavor.
Cheers!"
When I got home, I found this note waiting for me:
"Hi Shawn, yeah we have a poster you can grab. Got a Gallows 2 as well. $20 work? If you can come grab it, that'd be great - don't have a lot of time to get to the mailbox. Thanks Shawn, appreciate the support!
- Chris and Travis"
Hmm. I was HOPING they'd give me a poster for free (and I really don't need the GALLOWS 2 poster, but...). However, I had already offered, so I sent this note:
"Yes, $20 would be great. Where would I go to get it? Thank you."
I had a response...but the poster deal began to sound more like a drug deal:
"Can you meet you at the Miss Winkles Pet Adoption Center Park area. 85 N Temperance Ave Clovis 93611. Just let us know when you’re planning to stop by
Thanks"
I understand that they don't know me and there is a pandemic going on, but really... I expected to go to some production office or something, but to meet at the Miss Winkles Pet Adoption Center park is rather bizarre-o. Still, I responded and we had a back and forth a few times, before we finally met yesterday at the appointed time and appointed place. It may have seemed like the most illicit poster deal ever. I wonder if they thought I might be a (Gasp!) poster NARC? Ha!

THE BOY AND THE PIRATES:
This is a nothing little poster that I got in the hopes of padding out shipping costs for other items I was bidding on---and lost. (My life's story...) I had never heard of this flick before, despite it having been directed by Bert I. Gordon ("Mr. B.I.G."). What caught my eye was the claim that it was in something called PERCEPTOVISION. gimmick whore that I am, I couldn't pass it up. Perceptovision was later also used in Gordon's VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS, so I have some idea what it was like. I also found this brief description on the TCM informational page for the film:
"Although no process is listed in the onscreen credits, this film's pressbook indicates that it was shot using 'Perceptovision-The Newest Marvel of the Motion Picture.' Perceptovision was described as 'a patented dimensional matte process which combines travelling mattes and split screen effects.' The Filmfacts review adds that the process 'was utilized in the film to show the foot-tall genie in a bottle floating in the ocean, and an erupting volcano rising out of the sea.' "
It's also interesting to note that Joe Turkel, who played the creepy ghost bartender in THE SHINING plays a genie in this flick. Timothy Carey, who was in a lot of stuff, was also apparently fired from the film for throwing an actor across the set! Zowie! "See! See! See! The Amazing Genie! The Growing Sea-Mountain! The Fantastic Journey Into Time! The Magic Fog!" How did I ever miss this? Ha!

CUT AND RUN (video):
Ruggero Deodato made a name for himself with the cannibal genre epics JUNGLE HOLOCAUST and then the more controversial CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST. After HOUSE AT THE EDGE OF THE PARK and something called ATLANTIS INTERCEPTORS (?), his producers wanted him to make a follow up to CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST. He didn't want to. Instead, the film is loosely based on an abandoned screenplay by Wes Craven. I have been aware of the movie for years and have recently ordered the BluRay that features the R-Rated theatrical cut and the 3-minute longer/gorier international cut. And there's an interesting cast: Willie Aames, Richard Lynch, Michael Berryman, Karen Black and John Steiner. I have not gotten to see it yet, but then this poster popped up. It's a video poster, but I didn't think I had ever seen any posters for the film---so I bid on it and won.

CUT AND RUN:
After finding and bidding on the video poster for CUT AND RUN, I happened on a theatrical poster for the flick. I snapped it up, thinking I'd surely be outbid on the video poster. I wasn't...and so ended up with BOTH. Ha! That is soooooo typical of me. Oh well...

EARTH 2 (International):
EARTH 2 is a TV movie from 1971. As was the case with many TV movies, especially during the 70s, international audiences had to PAY to see some of these flicks in theaters...and one sheets were created for them. I have a few of these posters, such as the one sheets for Irwin Allen's TV disaster duo FIRE and FLOOD. I wasn't that interested in this poster, but I have the Warner Brothers MOD DVD of it (purchased during one of their 4 for $44 sales). I haven't seen the flick yet, but decided that, when I eventually do, just in case I might actually like it, I might as well get the poster since it wasn't too expensive. They aren't all that common anyway... (Does anyone know if their were one sheets created for the TV movies LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ROSEMARY'S BABY, or A SHORT WALK TO DAYLIGHT?)

THE MAMDALORIN (TV promo?):
I'm not sure what a double-sided movie poster-sized poster promoting a TV series is called, but I thought I should snatch one up while it was still cheap-ish as it is a STAR WARS-related thing and could be worth some cash down the road. I've never seen the show though. I'm, not a SYAR WARS fan.

THE GODFATHER PART II:
There is no denying that THE GODFATHER and THE GODFATHER PART II are great movies...but (in my opinion) they have crappy posters. Sure... Over the years I have half-heartedly bid on them--but never that earnestly. The posters just don't do it for me. I saw this at auction along with other things. I bid on it and forgot about it. Imagine my surprise when I got an invoice for it. (The other items I lost, of course. Ha!) Now I suppose I should seek out the original GODFATHER one sheet. Bother...

THE LOST EMPIRE:
I have never seen this movie, but I do like the art on this poster. I thought I already had a copy of this, but when I came across this I did a search of my blog but didn't see it listed. That doesn't mean that I don't have one. But just in case I don't have one, I snagged this inexpensive jewel. Of the cast, I am only familiar with Angus (PHANTASM) Scrimm. Alan (HALLOWEEN 4 & 5) Howarth did the music and it was written, produced and directed by Jim (CHOPPING MALL, SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE 2) Wynorski. This looks like campy fun.

Zowie! This is apparently TOO LONG! Stay tuned for Part 2 of my birthday poster bash! CHEERS!

Birthday Bash Part 2:
GODZILLA VS KONG (International style C):
A week or so after getting style B (in my previous post), I ran across style C. By the time I got B, I was anticipating C being confrontational between the two. Style A had them a long distance apart. B had them getting closer together. Voila, it's style C and they've met (albeit underwater)! I love KING KONG and usually GOSZILLA....but the last GODZILLA flick (to me) was such a stinker. I was sooooo bored. I have high hopes for this---but am not going to hold my breath. I'm also rooting for KONG to win, but doubt that will happen. (I'll probably have to go back and re-watch the original KING KONG VS GODZILLA several times after I see this... Ha!)

GODZILLA VS KONG (International style D):
Oh my stars! ANOTHER style? How many posters are they going to pump out for this thing? Granted, the movie-going population is starved for a return to theaters. It's been more than a year--and that hunger for a return to indoor theaters will no doubt propel this flick to being a huge box office hit (providing enough theaters reopen, that is...). Of course they are going to promote the hell out of it. (Side note---the last film I saw in an indoor theater more than a year ago was a special one-night-only re-release of the original KING KONG!) Of the four GODZILLA VS KONG poster I now have, I like this one the most. However, I came across a 5th style that I like even better. It's kind of like the art in style C but with the big boys in a city street duking it out instead of under water. However, I will wait on getting that one. Once the hoopla drops, I am hoping the prices will as well. (Man, I hope I like this film... Rooting for you, KONG!!!)

GODZILLA VS KONG (style E?):
Zowie! I wasn't going to buy it, but I found it reasonably priced. But that is it. I am DONE with the posters for this movie---and I have not even seen it yet, nor do I anticipate even liking it. Ha!

BLACK MAMA WHITE MAMA:
I am pretty sure I have a copy of this already... Maybe not? I wasn't sure. General exploitation meets blaxploitation in American International Pictures 1972 action flick BLACK MAMA WHITE MAMA. Pam Grier (along with Sig Haig) stars in an Eddie Romero (the BLOOD ISLAND flicks) flick with a story by Jonathan Demme! Zowie!

SCREAM:
Oh my stars! I may be wrong (and probably am), buy I do not believe I had a poster for the original SCREAM. How was that possible? SCREAM is up there in the upper echelon of modern horror. It's very self-referential and has brought about three sequels (with a fourth on the way) as well as a TV series. While it may not be A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET or HALLOWEEN, it's a very good franchise. I'm glad I was finally able to score this one sheet (if I didn't have one already).

THE VAMPIRE, DINOSAURUS, and THE BLOB (re-release combo):
Several years ago, I got myself a similar post. Instead of a triple feature, it was a two-fer featuring DINOSAURUS and THE BLOB. I thought sure it would be the closest I ever came to scoring an original THE BLOB or a DINOSAURUS poster...and I somehow got both posters later on. I also have gotten a one sheet for THE VAMPIRE. Why bother with this? How many triple feature poster do you come across---and with FUN titles in them like these? (Okay, so THE VAMPIRE is kind of a stinker... BUT...)

TUSK (large French):
I really think Alejandro Jodorowsky is brilliant. My favorite film of his is SANTA SANGRE (which was the first one I saw), but I also was blown away by EL TOPO and HOLY MOUNTAIN. I have seen all of his films...except TUSK. Made between his unrealized attempt to make DUNE and SANTA SANGRE, TUSK was a critical and box office flop. Like another of his little-known films, THE RAINBOW THIEF, my understanding is that Jodorowsky was simply hired to direct. This wasn't a personal project and so he was unable to let his freak flag fly (similarly to David Lynch's DUNE and STRAIGHT STORY). While watching the second film in his autobiographical series (ENDLESS POETRY), I got to thinking about TUSK. While it seems to be unavailable in any way, shape, or form here in the US....I did find a copy on YouTube which I will watch very soon. I'm expecting to be disappointed. The reviews I read say it is the more disappointing of the two (the other being RAINBOW THIEF). In anticipation, I discovered the poster available. It's a French poster---the film is in French with English subtitles--and, I think, quite striking. Getting any paper on Jodorowsky films is always tricky, so I went ahead and snatched this up. I hope Jodorowsky still has another film or two in him. He can be so brilliant when given the chance.

SANTA SANGRE (small French):
What a great film this is. The seller I bought the TUSK poster from also had this small SANTA SANGRE. Birthday BONUS!!!

THE CURIOUS DR. HUMPP (aka LA VENGANZA DEL SEXO) (Argentinean):
Wow! Wow! Wow!!! I have long wanted a one sheet for THE CURIOUS DR. HUMPP---but they are super hard to find. Imagine my surprise when this Argentinean poster for the original release in its home country popped up with its original title. (LA VENGANZA DEL SEXO translate to THE REVENGE OF SEX!) From 1969---and I am simply amazed it came to our country and will also be thankful to Something Weird Video for rescuing it from utter obscurity. It is soooooo wonderfully weird and bizarre. Whoo hoo!

EXORCISM (aka LE NOTTI DI SATANA and EXORCISMO Italian 2F):
While not the best EXORCIST ripoff, I find it watchable and entertaining. Genre fave Paul Naschy stars. When I first spotted this poster (on eBay for $100...and was watching), I had no idea what it was for. (I don't speak/read Italian). The imagery was intriguing and Naschy's name was recognizable. I scored this on eMovie for much, much less. Hooray! I dig it!

EROTIC NIGHTS OF THE LIVING DEAD (Italian 2F):
Joe D'Amato, who was known mostly for the softcore EMANUELLE films with Laura Gemser before making a name for himself in the horror arena with films like THE GRIM REAPER (aka ANTROPOPHAGUS) and BEYOND THE DARKNESS (aka BUIO OMEGA) dipped his, uh...toe into full on hardcore (well, just in places) with his hybrid horror porn flick, EROTIC NIGHTS OF THE LIVING DEAD, one of a handful of zombie flicks to add hardcore porn elements before the straight-to-video era. (PORNO HOLOCAUST came out the next year, shot on the same locations with some of the same cast and was also by D'Amato.) Laura (BLACK EMANUELLE) Gemser stars along with George (ZOMBIE and THE GRIM REAPER) Eastman. Paper on this is scarce. I hadn't seen this poster before--with Eastman wielding a machete, a burning zombie, etc. This image came with the auction. The censored parts shown are not censored in real life.

COSMIC MONSTERS:
Fun, old poster---not the greatest design ever, but classic---for a creaky, old British horror flick that is also known as THE STRANGE WORLD OF PLANET X from 1958. Forest Tucker (yes, an American) stars along with some giant bugs! Eeek! You know this is a quality production based on the glaring spelling error on the poster: "When men of different planets unite to combat the most loathesome peril the universe has ever known!" Zowie!!!

THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (2008 French re-release):
Hot diggity! I have been wanting one of these for a while. I have the large French FRANKENSTEIN re-release and a small French INVISIBLE MAN re-release (I need to get a big one to match the others), but did NOT have the BRIDE to go with them until now. LOVE it! Thanks, eMovieposter!

KILLER PARTY:
Let's keep the party going with this unexpected poster, KILLER PARTY. I recognize the art from VHS boxes back in the day. I never saw it (but, after getting the poster, I've since ordered a copy) and had always assumed it was a straight-to-video release. It was only when I set my eye on the SCREAM poster above, that I noticed this poster was included in the auction...and it was a theatrical poster instead of a video release. Who knew? I completely missed this 80s slasher. (A blurb on the poster says it's "Deadicated to the class of '86." Ha!) I will soon be able to correct that error.

CRY OF THE WEREWOLF:
This was a lucky auction win (Thank you, eMovie). I was watching this and a few other things I really wanted. When it came time for the auction--I was preoccupied and missed it. ARGH! Two things I really wanted escaped my grasp. However this title didn't. I'm sure I paid too much for it---and I had never even heard of it before. However, hailing from 1944, I was intrigued. The film stars Nina Foch (fresh from her screen debut opposite Bela Lugosi in RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE) and Barton MacLane (best known for playing General Peterson on I DREAM OF JEANNIE). EMovie's description also said that "the 'werewolf" is actually a woman who turns into a literal wolf, making it much more like Val Lewton's 'Cat People'! The opening credits have a wolf eating them as they appear on the screen!" Zowie! Sounds very interesting. I need to track it down. I may have missed those other items, but this was a great consolation prize.

RETURN OF THE FLY:
Hey, what's all the buzz about? Zowie! Golly, I am so super thrilled to have this. Believe it or not, I only recently saw the original THE FLY series. It truly is a classic. (I wish the sequels had been in color as the original had been.) The first film was fantastic. The sequel was equally fun. (The third one...eh.) And what a gorgeous poster. It's much nicer than the original film's poster. H-e-l-l-l-p me-e-e-e! H-e-l-l-l-p me-e-e! I couldn't NOT get this.

HELP:
This is my first original release Beatles movie poster. I didn't expect to get it and I might not have bothered...except the film apparently debuted in 1965...the year of my birth (aka 56-freakin' years ago). I thought it would make a marvelous (and sort of logical) gift to myself. And, if you are seeing this, I DID make it to 56, which I never thought I'd actually see. This was from Heritage...and, ouch! I keep forgetting how steep their fees are. Still, how groovy to have this.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MdjWZRcEsKs/YE7t7Uk_ZTI/AAAAAAAAtTk/HQhXJlM0C3ktx4X6_QXZL8NP6CSUWhcEwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/HELP%2Bbbbb.jpg)

And that is it.
Now, I more than likely will not be back for a long time. My life is in turmoil. I am moving in October---and it is a huge chore. All of these "new" posters are headed right into a box for the move. I have started taking down all of my cherished framed posters, removing them and boxing them for safe transport. (And, you probably have forgotten that I have more than 200 frames to go through. EEK!) That, coupled with my thousands of other posters I have to prepare for shipping and all of the other "objects de junk", er... "d'art" to go through, pack or get rid of, etc. It's going to be quite an undertaking. (Are there any undertakers standing by? Hee hee...)
Speaking of undertakers, as I said elsewhere, I am delighted to have hit 56. It's not that I look forward to aging. It's just that the men on my mom's side of the family all seem to drop dead at 55. My grandfather (who I very much resemble) died at 55. His father died at 55. Both had cardiac issues.
I have all sorts of health issues as well, cardiac included. I also have high blood pressure problems. But my chief complaint is C.I.D.P. (Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy), a rare disease I was finally diagnosed with just last year, which hinders my mobility greatly. Although I am getting treatment for the CIDP (and hopefully will be able to exercise again---to work on my blood pressure issues), I am such a mess physically, I am actually surprised I am still alive. Really!
Blah! Blah! Blah! Listen to me yammer on. Especially when it appears we have someone eager to cut the cake...

Thank you for your visit. I hope you enjoyed yourself. As we start to move out of the pandemic (hopefully), I hope your year is a smashing success! Happy posters!
CHEERS!

Belated happy Birthday Monster, I am sorry to hear about your heart condition. I have had high blood pressure for around 20 years, but have it stable taking 10mg of Amlodipine a day. Speaking of aging and Godzilla, I recently (Jan\Feb) had cataract surgery in both eyes and after I got my prescription glasses I was eager to go to the cinema (what else would I use my eyes for ;)) and booked a seat (with family) for Godzilla v Kong in glorious 3D. Like you I was disappointed with the movie but the eyes worked great! so I will be taking in more movies (our local cinema books to 40% and the assigned seats allow for social spacing. Anyway apart from the eyes I am aging OK, I will be 66 in August, yes I was alive when James Dean was still alive. Good luck with the upcoming move and "long may you keep posting", as your posters are appreciated by many of us.
-
Happy Birthday, MAGG! I hope you have a great day! I'm glad you passed the 55 milestone, but sorry to hear about your health and also the move. It's never fun having to pack everything up for a move. I hope it goes smoothly for you.
Nice update, some really good posters there. I like the story of regarding how you acquired 'Held'! I suppose posters are our drug! The design is quite intriguing too, I'll have to look the film up. Tusk is really nice. That Mandalorian poster is quite tricky to get, I think it only got released on the Disney Rewards site. I need to get a Scream poster, agree that it's a bit of a modern classic. I also like the underwater Godzilla v Kong design.
-
Happy Birthday MAGG thumbsup.gif Here's wishing you a speedy return to good health :)
I don't often comment lately but I always enjoy your pix and comments. Your obvious enjoyment of films and posters makes me remember why I got into this hobby in the first place! You've inspired me to try and track down some of those Godzilla / King Kong. But what made me grin is how on the 1Sh for "Girl's Nite Out", they put Hal Holbrook's name in bold ;D
Take care and good luck with your move!

Ah the dreaded move. You're starting early (April to October, that's 6 months of packing), which gives you ample time to get organized. Organization is key with any kind of collection. A lot of my friend would not understand my collecting habits, so I've kept it a secret to many, I never talk about it on social media, just to you folks. People who come to my place have no idea I collect movie posters, and I like it this way. I attribute it to organization (plus I'd get a divorce if a single tube was found inside the house haha). So you have 6 months to clean it all up. Check this picture, this is 15,000 posters in a truck (the flat files and hundreds of those square tubes are in the back). If you can do that, moving your posters will be a breeze. It was for me.

Happy birthday! Sorry to hear about your health, but hopefully those treatments lead you on a road to recovery with many more years ahead!
I can't imagine trying to pack so many posters for a move - but I guess I'll end up with the same problem eventually! Good luck with the move!
Scream was the film that started my love for slashers - being the first real horror movie I was able to sit through! I was a total chicken growing up! I'd love to own the poster for it someday, but I'm afraid of accidentally buying a reprint since it's one of the more popular films.
Killer Party is definitely an underrated slasher. It unfortunately suffered from cuts to the gore/death scenes and we have yet to get a restored version. Still - it has a strong cast and a GREAT 80s soundtrack that I am lucky enough to own. Really love that is has Terri Hawkes as well - major bonus for me!
I won the video release poster but someday I'll probably grab the theatrical poster as well since it isn't too expensive.

Happy Birthday, Lil Monster! I'm glad you are above ground, too! Sending you good mojo from the Gulf coast for health and the upcoming move, my friend! Still can't wait to meet in person some day and share a tropical drink Tiki style! Your pal, Okie

Zowie! Thank you for the birthday wishes and words on moving...
Ian/ealingmovieposters: Thank you for your note. I'm glad you are still plugging along...but sorry to hear GODZILLA VS KONG didn't work for you...even in 3D. Waaaagh!
Tob: Thank you for your visit as well. Posters are a bit like a drug to us--YES! I'm an admitted "junkie". I'm pleased some of the posters in the birthday batch were pleasing to you. Cool.
Hicks77: Hi there. I was delighted to hear that my silly posts are enjoyable. Good luck with your hunt for the GODZILLA VS KONG posters. (They may be cheaper in a few months?) CHEERS!
Thierry: That is right...you moved to the beach not so long ago. With your stash...that must have been a huge endeavor. I started early because of my disability. My CIDP wipes me out just doing the most mundane task. Just doing laundry or making a trip to the grocery store does me in for the day. But--one way or another--I will get moved.
Heather_Mason_SH3: Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad new people like you and Ian/ealingmovieposters have come along to invigorate the forum with new blood. I have received my KILLER PARTY disc and will hopefully be giving it a watch soon. Your words make me really curious about it. Best of luck tracking down a SCREAM poster. There are a LOT out there--but get one from a reputable dealer just to be sure it is authentic. Actually, my SCREAM and KILLER PARTY came together in one lot from Heritage ($36 or $55 with their horrible fees plus shipping). NOT too expensive! Good luck!
Okie: May the tiki and poster gods smile upon you, my friend. Thanks for the birthday wishes-a-go-go! CHEERS!

How are you doing way out there on the Left Coast, Monster? I hope your packing and life adventure is going okay. Okie

Hi Okie!! Thank you for checking on me. I'm hanging in there. I've been busy with a revolving litany of guests. Another coming this weekend and then my.mom is coming the following Saturday for a month. It's cutting into my packing time and energy, but... (Going to Stanford on the 17th for a consultation, too. Wish me luck.) I hope you are well.. Cheers

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. It's been a bit more than two months since the last update. I'm starting to pack up the house, taking posters out of their frames for safe transport for the move (which won't be until late October), sending other posters to auction, and packing the poster room up (which is a HUGE undertaking). My health issues continue to decline. I went see a specialist at Stanford. (For those of you following along, she doesn't believe I have CIDP...but doesn't know what is wrong with me. More tests have been ordered. Swell...) In other words, I have been BUSY!
But, even though it has been more than two months since I last reared my ugly head on here, That has NOT stopped me from acquiring more posters--which is STUPID on my part since they'll need to be packed up, too.
Blah, blah, blah... Let's take a look and see what I have this time:
NEWS OF THE WORLD:
Boring poster for a movie that apparently was scheduled to come out during the pandemic this last Christmas. (Duh! Who planned that?) I have no idea if this was ever released or not. The poster was a freebie at a local theater. Just adding it in here because, dull and ugly or not, it is still an acquisition.

DIRTY MARY, CRAZY LARRY (Style A):
I've not seen this, but I am under the impression that this film is akin to THELMA AND LOUISE, albeit with a male/female pair of anti-heroes. This was purchased to pad out the shipping for something else I had purchased. I see the style B poster much more frequently than this one.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UoI2T1oEtEU/YLmNqXzFJaI/AAAAAAAAxhE/e13EpoelUdk3TaaoSh8xKMEFwaAGTWK4QCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/Dirty%2BMary%2BCrazy%2BLarry%2Bstyle%2BA.jpg)

BERSERKER (video?):
I already have several copies (too many copies) of this poster, but I've never seen the flick. They've all come to me in lots...and this copy (actually 10 copies) is no exception. I got this batch because they came with another poster (which was also sold with multiple copies) that I actually wanted. I'm guessing this is a video release poster, as there is no rating listed. (Did it ever have a theatrical release?)
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U9p1mZC0RxY/YLmP0lPOG1I/AAAAAAAAxhQ/9WcKP1twIJY9_F98t-tRhRlEThdnVw3XwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/Berserker%2Bbbbb.jpg)

THE SLAYER:
I've seen this poster come and go in various lot auctions on eMovie. I remember when this flick came out...but never saw it back in the day. Seeing the poster pop up reminded me of the film and it intrigued me. I'd bid on the various eMovie lots, but they'd go crazy high and I'd drop out because this was likely the only poster in the batch I "needed". I scored this one (and several other copies) in a lot elsewhere. Yippie! Now to track down the film... Oops! I should have looked for the movie earlier, because I now realize I have/saw a BluRay of the film (with completely different art) a few years ago. (I've actually pretty much forgotten what it was about... all I recall, I think, is that a group of people are flown to a remote location...was it either an island or somewhere in the desert?....the airstrip is a ways away from the house....and that's really pretty much all I recall.) So, getting the seemingly elusive poster (that is not so elusive at all) for the mysterious film (which, now I realize, isn't so mysterious at all) was a momentary thrill that sort of dissipated. Waaagh. Maybe I need to dig the flick out and give it a re-watch? I may like it better than I thought, and the poster will be that much more meaningful for me. Hmm.

ONCE BITTEN:
I have not seen this flick, so I can't explain this... But for whatever reason, I became obsessed with tracking down the poster for it---but didn't want to pay too much in the process. So, I have it now. Whoopie. (Just more stuff I've gotta pack... UGH!)

SUGAR HILL:
I already have a copy or two of this cool blaxploitation horror poster (Voodoo AND zombies!!), but it came in a lot with another poster...so I gladly added it to my collection. It is a cool poster, anyway.

THE FABULOUS WORLD OF JULES VERNE:
I have seen the poster up for auction now and again. The blurb about it being in "Mystimation" intrigued me (gimmick whore that I am). I tried getting the poster several times, but was never able to get it. I wasn't overly put out about not getting it, as I had never heard of the flick before seeing the poster. And then I purchased a BluRay set of films by Czech filmmaker Karel Zeman. The film I was wanting to see in the collection was JOURNEY TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME, a film I had a kiddie matinee poster for (and I also dig posters for creepy kiddie matinees). JOURNEY featured some interesting practical effects and stop motion animation. It wasn't great, but it was interesting enough to warrant watching the other two films in the set, THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN and INVENTION FOR DESTRUCTION. INVENTION was visually stunning. I loved it...and later found it was released here as THE FABULOUS WORLD OF JULES VERNE. That renewed my interest in getting the poster. Such stunning and creative style and visuals in the film...

HARDWARE (Italian 2F):
I thought I had already posted this one, but I guess not. I remember when this film came out. It was much hyped. I saw it...and was not nearly as impressed as I thought I should be. It was directed by Richard Stanley, who was supposed to direct the bizarre 1996 version of THE ISLAND OF DR MOREAU with Marlon Brando, but was fired (but he stayed on secretly, playing a background creature). (This past March, he was accused of domestic abuse, which led to his fall from grace at Severin/SpectreVision.) Someday I may give the film another go. We'll see.
Despite my less-than-stellar impression of the film, I was very taken by this Italian poster. Zowie! Sold!

THE DEVIL'S RAIN (Italian 2F):
Who doesn't want a giant poster of Ernest Borgnine's face in satanic makeup from the climax of the low budget 70s shocker THE DEVIL'S RAIN? Ha! My flirtation with stunning Italian posters has fluctuated over the years. I avoid them because of their size (especially the 4 Fs), but the art has won me over time and time again.

BLACK HOOKER:
I know this is anything but PC, but this little blaxploitation gem had me gleefully spending way too much money to obtain it. Oh my stars! What a trashy, exploitative title. "She was loveable...She was mean...Damn mean!" What the hell does that mean? "What would you do if your mama was a hooker?" Oh my!!! A Dinero Production. Ha! This film is mighty obscure and appears to be a total crapfest, based on its IMDB rating of 2.9. It is available on DVD, but from Desert Island Classics or Synergy Archives...which probably means they're public domain crap copies I don't want to pay for. The flick may be trash, but the poster is grindhouse nirvana.

And that is it for now...BUT--be warned--I will be back sooner than you think as I already have another 10 poster added to my collection and have started the next post. (In fact, I've already started the post after THAT!)
So, cha-cha-cha! I'll see you in the not too distant future...

Hey, Hey, Monster is back!!! What a wildly weird bunch of cool posters you have brought us. Would that Lauren Hutton bite be more distinctive than Lugosi's? Nice eye booger image, too! Okie

Okie! It's always a delight to see you. I'm glad you like the ONCE BITTEN poster. Thanks for visiting and taking a look. CHEERS!

WARNING!!! You have (inadvertently?) stumbled into the next edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! EEEK! Today's exhibit features 10 posters that you may have seen before. There's nothing too AWE-inspiring, but nothing (aside from maybe the first one) too dull (for ONCE) either. It is what it is and... Quick! Take your seats. The show is about to start:

WHERE DOES IT HURT? (re-release):
Eh... I don't know what I was thinking. This was a last-minute bid (before I read the description). There's nothing wrong with the poster, I just didn't realize it was a re-release when I bought it. Oh well. It was cheap-ish...

THE SUICIDE SQUAD (International Advance):
I have no interest in seeing this. I'm not a superhero (or, in this case, maybe super villain?) kind of guy. There are entertaining moments in the preview, but as a whole it's a hard pass. HOWEVER, when I was at the theater the other day (seeing SPIRAL, the latest SAW sequel), I spied the advance US one sheet for this and really dug it. I think I was so fond of it as it was actually an artistic rendering instead of the typical Photoshopped thing. Oooooo. I wanted it. It's already hard to find, but the not-nearly-as-great international advance was available and affordable. I got one from super poster dealer Dale Dilts on eBay (a superhero in his own way). I didn't need it, but...why not?

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 3D:
A Canadian one sheet for the 3D remake. I have a couple of other copies of this. I don't know why I bothered to get another. Star Sid Haig was originally from where I live. When I was a writer for the newspaper, I got to interview him for the paper's monthly glossy magazine. I have a photo somewhere of him holding the magazine with the article while I held an autographed photo he'd given me. (Found it. It's below...) Is this film available as a 3D BluRay?

BOOMBA THE JUNGLE BOY:
Normally, I would be jumping with joy over snagging the first poster in the BOOMBA series. This was a last minute bid and, alas, I didn't have time to inspect it properly. Someone had written "Curly" in the first "B" of BOOMBA. That just broke my heart... Not even the "Filmed in glorious Sepia Tone!" quasi-gimmick can brighten my spirits after that discovery. oh well. Back to the BOOMBA hunt I go.

JUNGLE CRUISE (final international):
Despite having ridden the Jungle Cruise ride at Disneyland many times, I really had no interest in seeing this flick. The HAUNTED MANSION flick was awful and, although I saw the first one (and maybe the fourth one---because my brother wanted to see it for his birthday), I was not a fan of the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movies either. I saw the advance poster with the boat and was moderately interested, noting that the poster was drawn--not just some photoshopped thing. Then I spied this final poster and... WOW! Painted poster art! Fantastic! I was really taken with this poster. I bought it and am actually now considering seeing the movie. (See what intriguing painted poster art can do? SELL the movie!)

THE SUICIDE SQUAD (Advance):
As I described with the International version of THE SUICIDE SQUAD poster, THIS is the poster I spied at the theater and...my jaw just dropped. After years of Photoshopped crap-a-rama, here we have fun (and o' sooooo deliciously exploitation-y and grindhouse-y) ART (instead of just a bunch of floating head shots). Zowie! Even though I do not dig the modern superhero flicks and have no intention of seeing this movie, I LOVE this poster. Poster seller super hero Dale Dilts says he has some of these--just hadn't unpacked them yet. I put my name in for one...but also bought this one (because I wanted to be sure I got one). What a fun, colorful poster. Hooray! Let's hope painted posters make a comeback!

RETURN OF THE JEDI (1985 re-release):
I've never been a STAR WARS fan (as I've stated here many times), but I do appreciate the fact that fans out there get rabid-crazy for the posters. If I find them cheap enough, I sometimes buy them as an investment. This is a re-release poster for the third film in the original trilogy Not the best poster, but...

DOOR TO DOOR MANIAC:
Whoo hoo! I have wanted one of these one sheets for years. The closest I came was an insert a few years back (and I do NOT collect inserts usually). Aside from the fact that Johnny Cash (!!!) and "Ronnie" Howard star in this apparent sleaze fest, the artwork and tag line are just so grindhouse trashy-cheesy awesome! And who doesn't love a finger replacing an "I" in a title? Ha!

Q-THE WINGED SERPENT (aka THE WINGED SERPENT or Q):
I have been trying to get a Q-THE WINGED SERPENT poster for years. (At least, I don't think i have one yet. Do I?) I stumbled on this poster on some obscure auction online. It was more than I wanted to spend, but I was intrigued by the alternate title that omitted the "Q"--and, more importantly, by the art. Zowie! The movie is just so-so, but I have noticed the poster is popular. This appears to be an international version as there is no rating shown. Interesting.

LA CASA DEL TERROR:
Lon Chaney Jr stars in this Mexican werewolf comedy. Apparently, when this was imported to the US (by schlockmeister Jerry Warren), it was given the Cuisinart treatment. All of the humorous bits were cut out, scenes from THE AZTEC MUMMY were added in along with a few new bits added by Warren himself. When done, the cinematic souffle fell...and we were stuck with the mess that is THE FACE OF THE SCREAMING WEREWOLF. Still, it might be interesting to see what was originally intended...

Well, my friends, congratulations! It looks like you've survived another Shock-O-Rama Poster Show (and without soiling yourself --or the seats-- in the process)! Thank you so much for visiting. Although the next Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is already being readied (I have ONE poster so far--whoopie), it may be a while before we meet again. Take care. Happy posters!

Monster_A_GoGo Hi! I see you got yourself Once Bitten!
I myself have the video release poster - essentially the same as the theatrical one unfortunately!
It's a typical '80s sex comedy if that's something you like you'll enjoy the film! It also has some really great songs on the soundtrack - again if that's the type your are into!
Either way I'd recommend giving it a look if you haven't already! ;)
Maybe someday I'll get the theatrical poster as well - but I'm satisfied with the video release for now. :)

Hi Heather. Thank you for visiting and leaving a note. I've still not seen ONCE BITTEN. I'll watch it if I get the chance, I guess...but I'm not going to go out of my way to track it down. As I said, I do not know why I wanted to track the poster down.
But it sounds like you are somewhat passionate about this film. So maybe it is worth tracking down? Hmm. I'll contemplate it. It will have to wait though as I am packing for a move in late October...and I need to get rid of stuff instead of acquire more. UGH! Such a chore...
There's no shame in having a video poster, so don't knock yours. Many films never come out at theaters and only have video posters OR the artwork on the video releases is different (such as the VHS release of SUSPIRIA for example)--so if you like that artwork, you've got to get the video poster.
Thank you again for visiting my thread.
CHEERS!

EEK! The late night Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is about to begin. While nothing to brag about, this poster show came together rather unexpectedly quickly. Don't push. Don't crowd. There's plenty of room for all.
Oh, the lights are dimming. The show is starting...
SCOOB (Advance):
I've been a life-long Scooby Doo fan. Hello? A cartoon about teens detectives encountering spooky monsters? What's not to love? Before the pandemic, a new Scooby Doo movie was set to come out. The pandemic hit, the film was pulled (and sent directly to DVD/VOD), and that was that. I scored an advance poster for the film (with a young Scooby with a shadow behind him of what he'd grow to become) a while back...and then spotted this one---and it was fairly cheap. I still hadn't seen the flick, but it was Scooby. Why not? After getting the poster, I discovered that the movie was actually playing locally at our second-run theater. I guess since our theaters have reopened, they were hungry for programming and SCOOB got pulled from non-theatrical purgatory.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sdeEHatCWa4/YN-RMRe5WhI/AAAAAAAAyuI/WEy0w-KLSFEq-8CSmobEUI-sifxciwSYwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/20210701_202215.jpg)
The movie...eh, it could have been better. I was surprised it had big names (Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried, Zac Efron, Will Forte, etc.) doing some of the voices and there were Scooby/Hanna-Barbera Easter eggs all over the place. But...it could have been so much more than it was. I'll probably never display this poster (the only Scooby poster I've ever hung/displayed was for the video release of SCOOBY DOO ON ZOMBIE ISLAND), but that's okay.

THE SUICIDE SQUAD (Advance):
I know I mentioned getting an advance poster for THE SUICIDE SQUAD in my previous post. This is a second copy. When i saw this poster hanging in the theater, I was so excited to see poster art that had been painted, I went a little wild. I didn't realize it, but I'd taken a photo of the poster in the lobby (below). Ha!
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CAs-nbgBsW8/YN1jXLQzMpI/AAAAAAAAyoc/CZtZ8Eg0miU3BdvnpH-ZzVBclUJ3LDOngCLcBGAsYHQ/w334-h400/20210605_125651.jpg)
I'm not a super hero kind of guy, I probably will NOT even see this flick. But after decades of posters of Photoshopped floating heads of the movie's stars--the painted work just sent me into orbit. I bought (stupidly, I suppose) a second copy. I've actually committed to buying a third from Dale Dilts (ddilts339 on eBay) along with a few other things.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zqMLkfMG8UE/YN1gVn5DZPI/AAAAAAAAyoU/G7M3wCv1rBw4tOyCH2yJwpELHAG-Sph2ACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/Suicide%2BSquad%2B2021%2B2nd%2Bcopy.jpg)

STUNT ROCK:
I had tried (unsuccessfully) to score this poster from some of the recent lot auctions on eMovie. Usually, this was the only poster I wanted, so I only half-heartedly tried to score it...and always failed. I hoped that eventually one of the lot buyers would list their purchases on eBay and I could buy myself a copy. Lo' and behold, someone did. I've never seen the flick (had never even heard of it until I saw the poster), but the art I found interesting. It makes me imagine the movie is a cross between ROCK AND ROLL NIGHTMARE (which I've also not seen) and DEATH PROOF. The background skull was, of course, the most attractive thing for me. I didn't even know if it had been released on DVD or BluRay, but found there was a Code Red 2-disc version put out in 2009...that now sells for a minimum of $75. Yowza! The reviews I've found say it's trash--but in a gleefully so-bad-it's-good way. Maybe someone will re-release it. (Are you listening Severin, Vinegar Syndrome, Synapse, etc?)

DRACULA 2000 (Canadian):
I am ashamed that I have have also NOT seen Wes Craven's DRACULA 2000. I'd heard not-so-great things about it, so I never got around to it. (I actually got all three films in the series on DVD in 2012, according to Amazon, but have NOT bothered to watch them yet.) This Canadian poster is different than the US version. Why not?

ANTLERS:
I've heard good things about this upcoming horror film (which is debuting near Halloween, I believe, after being sidelined by COVID for a long while). Guillermo Del Toro is on board as producer, so that is indeed promising. The poster isn't much. Let's hope the film is much better...

THE CATMAN OF PARIS and VALLEY OF THE ZOMBIES (re-release combo):
I actually have a copy of this poster hanging in my kitchen. I don't know what I was thinking buying another. Perhaps I'm hoping for an upgrade? I've seen a lot of the old zombie movies, but can't seem to track down VALLEY OF THE ZOMBIES. CATMAN OF PARIS is equally elusive. (I bought THE LEOPARD MAN once, and oops! Obviously the WRONG film. Ha!) Someday I may track them down... Fun, old, re-release combo poster from 1956, though.

ROTTWEILER (aka DOGS OF HELL):
I've purchased two or three (more?) copies of this poster over the years, but every one of them has had flaws that just do not jibe with me...and so I'd have to go on hunting for a replacement. I got this on eMovie not too long back, and the description (I don't actually have it in my hands yet) make it sound like I can finally cross this off my list. What's the big deal about the ROTTWEILER poster? Well, to the casual poster buff...nothing. To me, though, there are several things going for it.
First, ROTTWEILER was one of the 3D films that came out during the gimmick's brief revival in the early 80s. Always a sucker for a gimmick (especially 3D), this made this poster a must-have. The film was made by a filmmaker named Earl Owensby in North Carolina. Most of his films played regionally at drive ins. In the early 80s, he cranked out several 3D features. In addition to ROTTWEILER, I have posters for his 3D flicks HOT HEIR (a seeming play on hot air ballooning), and TALES OF THE THIRD DIMENSION. NONE of Owensby's films ever played in my town--so I never got to see ROTTWEILER or the others (in 3D or even flat!). I have seen something of his called HYPERSPACE (an odd, not-so-funny comic movie featuring a young Paula Poundstone and Chris Elliott) and the bargain basement werewolf shocker WOLFMAN (both on DVD). Based on WOLFMAN (with its claustrophobic and cluttered sets and period costumes), I have long since thought of Owensby as North Carolina's answer to Andy Milligan. I could be (and probably am) all wrong. I've always heard that the 3D in Owensby's films, at the very least, was outstanding. Whatever. I am just thrilled to finally have a decent ROTTWEILLER. Thank you, eMovie!

HARD CANDY:
Another sought after 3D poster... Yes, it's for an adult porn flick. No, I have not seen this either. This was one of the few posters for an adult 3D flick I didn't have a copy of yet. This one features the Lollipop Girls !?! They're lickin' good! (Oh my!) (I have another adult 3D poster for something called HOT SKIN that features the Disco Dolls. BOTH films star John Holmes.)

PRIMITIV (aka PRIMITIVES and SAVAGE TERROR)(Italian 2F):
I am not sure I have ever seen a U.S. release poster for this Indonesia(?)-lensed cannibal flick. Was it released here? Hmm. I have seen this film twice before---and they were terrible copies both times. Once was on a bootleg DVD. The other on a double feature DVD (with a nifty cover), but was some horrible, hard-to-see VHS transfer. Severin recently released an uncut, cleaned up version on BluRay (which I have ordered, but not seen yet). We'll see how it is...but I'm not holding my breath. I am glad to have scored the poster though.

HENRY ALDRICH HAUNTS A HOUSE:
I had never heard of this flick from 1943, until I came across this poster. While the poster isn't the most exciting and doesn't feature many spooky elements, the art is nice and the poster was not that expensive...so why not? Apparently there were several Henry Aldrich films that were popular in the early 1940s.

That's ten, so that's it for the posters. I don't know why I keep buying, buying, buying. I guess it truly IS an addiction. But everything I buy has to be re-packed for my upcoming move. UGH! So far, I've gone through and removed 75 posters from their frames for safe transport. (I'll be driving the posters up personally.) The frames, in groups of five, are wrapped and ready to go (as shown below). Still well more than 125 left to go...and I have NOT started taking posters off of my walls yet either. (Those will come down last. I love seeing them so much, I hate to have naked walls until the move.)
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8OtM_TwBHFU/YN_98TdsY3I/AAAAAAAAyvk/fzKUgUgI-98sg59tAVFcdE76k8yLidtFACLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/20210702_220241.jpg)
But I haven't even touched the tip of the iceberg. The poster room is a disaster and I have so much CRAP to dig through still. I really hope I don't buy anything else until after the move as I really have NO TIME to deal with anything but packing. UGH!
Anyway, thanks for visiting. Keep cool this summer (if at all possible...) May all of your poster dreams come true. CHEERS!

Monster_A_GoGo Life-long Scooby fan here as well! I myself was prepared to watch SCOOB in theaters before it went direct to video so I instead had to settle for the home theater experience when it was made available!
I'm personally not a fan of the voice cast (nor the modern cartoon voice cast) and definitely not a fan of modern humor...but I enjoyed it for what it was!
I can't say I'd personally want to add that to my collection though.
Zombie Island on the other hand? Definitely one of my favorite pieces of Scooby-Doo media and I've been meaning to get the video release poster for it and the other 90s DTV films.
Here's a fun fact for you...did you know that the lead writer/director of the series in the 80s recently confirmed that Shaggy and Daphne were a couple in the 80s? It's not widely known and Warner Brothers likes to pretend it never happened, but I've always been in favor of that pairing!
That Rottweiler poster looks great! I've never heard of the film until now but I'll have to check it out!
As you said, I can agree that collecting is an addiction! I have been telling myself since March that I would take a break...yet I've added at least ten to my collection since then!
-
Heather: Hi there. What a delight to have you visit my thread again. I hear you on the SCOOB voice cast. The voice of Dick Dastardly (why they were mixing in various Hanna-Barbera cartoon series characters was odd, I thought) was okay--but it was NOT Dick Dastardly. The same with Captain Caveman. He just sounded like an ordinary guy in SCOOB--NOT like Captain Caveman at all. I was okay with Mark Wahlberg (as he was a new character...not the true Blue Falcon), but Fred, Velma, Daphne, even Shaggy were not right with others voicing them. And Scooby had way too many lines---so NOT like the "real" Scooby Doo. But, it was what it was and I was glad to have seen it.
Shaggy and Daphne an item? Zoinks! I somehow missed that...
Glad you liked the ROTTWEILER poster. I HOPE the film (and other 3D flicks from Owensby) get a 3D release eventually. I'd LOVE to see them that way.
Thank you again for your visit.
Cheers!

You are a super star packer, Monster! I always leave my posters in their frames when moving and even add more posters in each frame. Wow, you are really protecting that Hard Candy and Stunt Rock! They will surely be kind to you when you unpack this fall. Go, Monster, Go!!! Okie
-
OKIE: How are you? When do you leave on your trip and how long does it last? Yes, I am packing my posters away. I just want to know they are protected and safe with me on my move. It may be overkill, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I've heard lots of moving horror stories...
I know it was not the best posting ever (But much better than some of the lame-O lot posts. EEK!), but I can't tell if you are serious or mocking me about the STUNT ROCK and HARD CANDY posters. Oh, no big deal. I have a lot of crap. Neither of those will probably ever see the inside of a frame anyway.
Have a super swell time on your vacation!
CHEERS!

Hi Monster! I always enjoy your posts. They are a highlight of APF for me. I really enjoy sering irreverent, bold movie posters and especially those with painted art which you have good luck finding. See you one day soon!
Okie

Okie
They definitely are and I do feel connected, really!!
I am intrigued by that "Stunt Rock"; these guys live dangerously... reminds me of Roger Daltrey in Tommy doing in hand gliding :)
Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0eFDJ8UztI
That Sugar Hill is very cool. And that Hard Candy, well, well, this guy of poster won't pass the WAF

OKIE: A BONUS visit. How nice. I am super pleased you like my trash...er, my world class (HA!!! Sooooo NOT) poster collection...at least how I display it. I am such a movie poster spaz. I hope my enthusiasm comes through. Thank you for the note.
BwanaDik: Hi there. Again, welcome back to APF. And a big thanks for tracking down the STUNT ROCK trailer. Ha! I can see the similarities to TOMMY somewhat, but the movie...HOW the stunts shown and rock concerts go together, I have no idea. Looks like total trash. From Film Ventures International? I'll bet they got it cheap...and still made a profit, despite no one apparently having ever heard of or seeing it. I'll have to track it down. Ha! Thanks for the visit. CHEERS!

One day you may be going about your "same as it ever was" life and then a surprise package arrives from the Monster A Go-Go Fan Club! Thanks for making the world a less "same" place, Monster! Okie

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! As July winds down, I hope you are keeping cool and have been enjoying your summer so far. I've been busy the last several weeks with company, doctor visits, and packing for my upcoming move. Ugh! My posters are taking forever to sort through and prep for moving...and what do I do? Continue to buy MORE! I'm such an idiot.

Today, I've just arrived home from yet another visit to Stanford. I put most of the finishing touches on this post while I was away...and now it's ready to be shared. As usual (ho-hum), there's nothing that uber-exciting, but I hope there's a poster or two that strikes your fancy. (Or at least saves this post from total suckage.,..)
OKIE: Zowie! I am so glad to see you received your official Monster A Go-Go surprise package. Thanks for making the world a less "same" place, Monster! Less "same" or did you mean "sane"? Ha! Enjoy!!!
Oops! Grab your seats!
It looks like the poster show is about to begin...

HALLOWEEN KILLS (Piece of movie set?):
This is questionable (and, I'm aware, it's NOT a poster), but,,, it might also be interesting. This is a piece of a brick that apparently was used in HALLOWEEN KILLS at the set for Haddonfield Memorial Hospital. Having not seen the flick yet, it's impossible to know if it plays into the action...or if some guy on eBay just got a bunch of broken brick pieces and is making a quick buck. Whatever. It wasn't expensive. It's also tiny. The bag fits in my hand.

THE FLAMBOYANT SEX:
SEE: The torridly sexy "finger" scene! Even Paris was SHOCKED! I already had one of these posters, but when I was looking to pad out the shipping of some other posters and saw the dealer had this cheap ($4.99!?!), I snagged it. SEE: Barbara bewitched by caressing eyes! Ha!

HOT CHILD IN THE CITY:
Why did I get this poster? Believe it or not, it reminded me of a poster I WANT to get for a Raquel Welch flick's poster I've yet to get (for a movie I've yet to see) called RESTLESS. In the Welch poster, Raquel is in baby doll pajamas, swinging a bloody ax over her head with the title written in a circular fashion around her. Okay---this woman is not Raquel Welch and a red rose is not a bloody ax...But it is something until I can score that poster... (Is the movie RESTLESS any good? It's not one that ever comes up when discussing Welch's filmography...) I just noticed John Holmes (under the name John Wadd) was in this flick and it stars someone named L'Oriele. Oo la la? Who knows? (This was a cheap-o! So, who cares?)

HUMAN EXPERIMENTS:
Hooray! This is the movie I read about in a very early issue (possibly the first one?) of Fangoria magazine. I kept watching for this flick to show up in my town. it never did. I never saw it anywhere during the VHS years. I've seen several similarly themed titles turn up and wondered if that was this with a different title? But nope... Now, at last, I've finally scored the poster...and I also recently got this on DVD. I'll be seeing it soon hopefully. This poster is only 25x38, but it hasn't been trimmed. I hope--after all of this time--the movie doesn't suck. Ha!

SPIRAL:
This was not something I expected to add to my collection. I mean, I saw it---and have seen all of the SAW movies. However, except for the original film (and maybe the 3D final chapter), I am sure I passed on all of the posters for the sequels. By and large, except for the bigger horror franchises (HALLOWEEN, FRIDAY THE 13TH, etc.), James Bond, and a few others, I try to avoid posters for sequels. So why SPIRAL? Easy. It was FREE. I'd gone to a nearby theater (to see THE CONJURING 3). This particular theater gives away posters. Usually they are utter crap. While many would consider this one crap as well, I am actually happy to have it. While not the best entry in the SAW series, it was okay. I'd have never purchased this poster---but as a freebie, I'll gladly take it. Whoo hoo!

SCHLOCK:
While I am reasonably sure I have one of these (?!?!?), I was not sure. This is John Landis's debut as a director, writer, and actor. This was also one of make-up artist Rick Baker's first credited gigs. Originally filmed and also known as THE BANANA MONSTER, SCHLOCK (not to be confused with Joan Crawford's last flick TROG) is a wacky, low-budgeter that is an obvious calling card for Landis to get the KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE gig next (and for Baker to get the 1976 KING KONG remake)! Starring the Schlockthropus!!! (Actually, Landis starred as the big, hairy one.) Baker has an uncredited small role as does producer Jack H. Harris (producer behind THE 4D MAN, DINOSAURUS!, EQUINOX, DARK STAR, THE EYES OF LAURA MARS, and all three of THE BLOB films). Famous Monsters' editor Forrest J. Ackerman also has a cameo. This is the original release, full-color one sheet. (The 1977 rerelease uses the same image, but is not in color.)

SOLO (Advance-Chewie style):
I've said before, I'm not a STAR WARS fan. I occasionally buy STAR WARS posters when I can get them cheap-ish to hopefully a turn a profit down the road. This one was kind of the exception. I paid more for this than I should/wanted to, but it was the only one of the character advance sheets for SOLO that I didn't have.

THE DAY TIME ENDED (International style?):
I have the one sheet for THE DAY TIME ENDED. But when I came across this poster, I was totally confused. This poster was completely new to me--completely different art than the uber-cheezy original (which can be seen HERE). How had I not seen this before? And then I noticed it had no ratings box. Of course, I realized, it had to be a n international one sheet. With an interesting cast, an alien, a monster, and UFOs, this Charles Band flick looks like low-budget fun.

FLESH GORDON MEETS THE COSMIC CHEERLEADERS (International)(aka FLESH GORDON 2):
I know this flick is not all that great. I actually do not remember all that much about it (it's been YEARS since I've seen it). Frankly, the only thing I truly do remember is the poo people. Yes, you heard me. Poo people (as in people dressed like giant turds!) Obviously this movie is as clASSy as they come. NOT! FLESH GORDON MEETS THE COSMIC CHEERLEADERS is the 1990 sequel to 1974's X-rated FLESH GORDON. I don't think many people are aware of this sequel. In fact, I don't even think all that many people are aware of the original these days. Zowie! Both films were, in my opinion, missed opportunities. The original FLESH GORDON one sheet is GORGEOUS, though. (I also have the Spanish and the Italian posters.) I had long wanted the one sheet for the sequel to go with it, but I am not even sure it had a theatrical release...at least stateside (and I DO have the US video release poster). I came across this one sheet (sold out of the UK) and am thinking it is an international one sheet--possibly a video poster? Maybe not. I do have a quad with different art for this flick. Anyway, I came across this one and, even though it was far more than I wanted to pay (for the shipping alone), I snatched it up.

REVOLT OF THE ZOMBIES (rerelease):
I have one of these posters already--and paid far more than I wanted to for this copy. However, my copy has a slight misprint (which drives me INSANE!) This copy was in extremely good condition...so I thought I'd upgrade. I can always sell off my original copy. Yes, this is a rerelease poster. However, the original has completely different art and is crazy-hard to find. I am super happy with this rerelease poster.

One little PS... I got to meet one of our fellow APF movie poster collectors again recently. You know who I mean. He goes by "Okie Hawker" or just "Okie". "Okie's" taste in posters is far more classy and classic than the trash-o-rama I like. Despite that, he is still a very cool guy and a valued member of the forum. He was coming to California and let me know. Voila! We met. How groovy is that? THANK YOU again, Okie for wanting to meet up. It was wonderful to meet you.

Hi! Welcome to the 11th--and possibly LAST Shock-O-Rama Poster Show--at least for several months. I'm busy packing for a move and up to my armpits in posters. (Details below.) UGH! I mean, I may buy more...but I don't have the time, money, and I want to be done with poster packing. Speaking of which, you may notice there is more than my usual 10 posters. Instead of holding back posters for some future posting (which may not be for months--if ever. My health issues keep rearing their ugly heads.), I'm posting everything I've gotten since last time. Take a peek or don't. I'm not feeling so well, which explains my rush to get this posted and the use of some online photos to illustrate today's posting. I'm going to go lay down. (Don't mind me...) Go ahead and take in the show:
SHARKWATER EXTINCTION:
I love the JAWS flicks, the rip-offs, and bad shark movies in general. This looks like it's probably a documentary--not a bad shark movie--and a sequel at that. BUT...it was fairly inexpensive and I got it to pad out the postage of another poster. I have never heard of this (or the original SHARKWATER mentioned on the poster). Lost to COVID, perhaps?

THE BOY:
I may (probably) already have one of these. THE BOY was okay--but disappointing. I did get to visit the house where it was made (It's in Victoria, B.C.), which was the attraction for me for the poster. I was supposed to see the sequel (BRAHMS: THE BOY II) with a friend the day California shut down for COVID. Is the sequel any good? (I'm not holding my breath...)

LUCA (Advance):
I have not seen this flick, but I have heard good things about it. Why get the poster? Apparently this film was destined for theaters before COVID. It was bumped to a summer 2021 opening and these advance posters were made. But, apparently, Disney changed their minds about releasing the film in theaters...and it ended up premiering on Disney +...and bypassed theaters altogether. Oh well. I'm hoping there will eventually be a demand for this title. Probably wasted my cash.

MOANA:
I bought this because I thought I should...just in case. Was MOANA a hit? I don't really know. Actually, right after I bought this, I regretted it. I've been going through my posters and weeding out stuff I don't want/need. I've pulled lots of Disney stuff to sell or send to auction. This would probably end up in that pile. Oh well...

THE BLACK GODFATHER:
As you know, among other sub-genres, I do dig blaxploitation flicks from the early 70s. The blaxploitation horror movies are my faves, but there are other titles I also enjoy. Titles like THE BLACK GESTAPO, SUPER FLY, and BLACK MAMA/WHITE MAMA are safely ensconced in my collection. THE BLACK GODFATHER? Ooooo. That's one film I have not seen...but that title? How could I NOT want it? I've tried many times, but... This time I made a offer they couldn't refuse. (Bad joke.) Despite the black and white image, I'm thrilled to have it.

RETURN OF THE JEDI (re-release):
I bid on this without really paying attention, not realizing it was a re-release (I should have READ the description first. Ha!). Oh well. I'm not a big STAR WARS guy and I don't know all of the original release styles. I thought/hoped I'd be outbid...but, nope! Didn't happen. The force wasn't with me. Whatever...

THE BAT PEOPLE:
This movie is crap. I saw it years ago and, if I remember correctly (I probably don't, but...) there is only ONE bat person in it. Filmed in some caverns somewhere and pretty much a bunch of guano as I recall, However, I don't believe I have the poster---which is pretty cheesy in a cool/fun way---so I picked one up.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lwH3abKrONY/YQrTwwtTjJI/AAAAAAAA0-Q/BOKzgP359f8iJVtSKOAecZUwra3DMVTsACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/bat_people_EB13604_B%2Bbbbb.jpg)

GODZILLA (Egyptian re-release):
I will probably never own an original GODZILLA one sheet. Although I paid too much for this Egyptian re-release from the 2010s, I still thought it was a good idea to get it. Like my similar Egyptian rerelease of THE INVISIBLE MAN I got not too long back--it's still an original movie poster. Why not?

NO TIME TO DIE (International advance 2021 release):
Third times a charm? We will see... The latest James Bond flick, NO TIME TO DIE, was supposed to open in April 2020. It got delayed due to the pandemic until November 2020 (and I knew when they announced it that there was no way it would be able to play...). Now it is scheduled for early October of this year. Will it finally see the light of day or...will the spread of the delta variant of COVID keep it from being shown again? I have the posters for the other proposed releases--as I have for every Bond film. I had to get the newest poster as well. Right? This is an international advance copy (Note: "in cinemas" instead of "in theaters"). I wonder if there will be a final copy? I sure wish they'd go back to the awesome painted art they used for Bond flicks from the Connery years through Roger Moore's tenure. Oh well...
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s2Su24q24E4/YQSG54FdkII/AAAAAAAA0NM/ZybRGrtlWacFtZbk33aW_jFQHdn5KXFigCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/No%2BTime%2BTo%2BDie%2B2021%2Binternational.jpg)

FRIGHTMARE:
I paid too much for this (just $27...but probably too much)--and I may already have a copy. I haven't seen the flick, but that artwork... Yowza! I can't wait to see that hanging up in the house. Is this one of those instances where the poster is better than the flick? Ha!

3 NUTS IN SEARCH OF A BOLT:
Zowie! Mamie Van Doren in pasties! HOW was this poster ever allowed in 1964? This film (and Mamie's career?) may be a distant mammary, er...memory--but this wild poster lives on. Just as Jayne Mansfield was hoped to become the next Marilyn Monroe for 20th Century Fox, Mamie was Universal's attempt at a Monroe clone. Like Mansfield, her career in films found her in smaller and smaller budgeted projects that were more and more risque. (Mamie and Jayne were BOTH in LAS VEGAS HILLBILLIES.) Mamie is 90 now and, as of this writing, the only one of the 3 Ms (Marilyn, Mamie, and Mansfield) still alive. I have been looking for a nice copy of this poster for years. Now, to just score a NAVY VS NIGHT MONSTERS one sheet and I'll be good with my mini-Mamie collection.

LOST HIGHWAY (International):
Oooo, I love David Lynch's work. LOST HIGHWAY isn't his best, but it does have its moments. The scene near the end at the party between Bill Pullman and Robert Blake... What a simple yet AWESOME moment in cinema. I have posters for the film--but I hadn't seen this one.

HALLOWEEN KILLS (Advance):
Yes, of COURSE I'd have to get a poster for the latest HALLOWEEN film. Jeepers! I've seen these posters go crazy high...close to $200 or so. Insane! I got this as a "buy it now" on eBay from reputable poster dealer/APF member Dale Dilts for $69.89...which is still much higher than I'd normally want to pay, but... I just wanted to get it and be done with it. A few months after the film comes out, it will more than likely drop to half of that price (or less) (and I base this on the current prices of the 2018 HALLOWEEN one sheets). I wonder if there'll be a final poster release for this flick. I almost hope not (but really want a new one), as I am packing up my posters and am sooooo over dealing with rolled posters. OMG!!!
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5mnGUw-3gtI/YQSHF-TM1mI/AAAAAAAA0NQ/0ZTSxtodqbcZQ1whhg3JSHDmwUb8HwtFwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/Halloween%2BKills%2Badvance.jpg)

That's it for the posters--but not for the post.
As I've mentioned before, I plan to move in late October. My poster room/office is all torn up and looks like we had an earthquake or something. There is crap in it everywhere. I have been working on my tubes. I have been lax--for YEARS--about dealing with them. Now, I'm paying the piper... UGH!
Instead of moving zillions of small tubes, I am opening them up and trying to put a lot of posters into larger tubes. I'm also trying to weed out posters I don't really want and putting them in piles for either going to auction, selling myself on eBay, or just giving to a thrift store (for those really lame posters that pad out bulk lots. Crap or not--I just can NOT trash them...so to a thrift store they go...) I now realize I HATE rolled posters. Sure, they display much better than folded posters, but storing them/moving them are a pain and separating them--UGH!--what a hassle. And, it must be easier to send them rolled, because I have tons of tubes with posters that should have been folded and sent by were rolled instead. Grr.
I'm doing this project in one of my guest rooms. The pile in the photo below is now much higher. My recycle bin is full. I am nowhere near being finished either.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xZofgfRlN5o/YQjCPEWgy4I/AAAAAAAA06E/tQK_xXbdx-8PKgQDC_iIgfZw25UNRRSEACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/20210727_235239.jpg)
The good thing about doing this, aside from weeding out the crap and duplicates from stuff I want to keep and condensing it all, is that I am finally seeing things I have owned for years but have never seen. There are dozens and dozens of tubes that are sealed and have never been opened. I think the oldest I've seen so far is dated 1998. Seeing some of the posters in real life is amazing--compared to just photographic images. Some are just stunning--far more gorgeous than I ever imagined. I've also come across a few things I had no idea I owned. Ha! In addition, I have found several items that were damaged severally or ruined in packaging. This includes things purchased from auction houses. Not naming names, because accidents happen---and I am lame for not opening the tubes (and a few boxes) in a more timely manner and seeing what I had. It's the smaller sellers who have been the most frustrating though. One seller apparently decided to include a blown up balloon in a rolled poster he sent me. I have no idea why. Years later, the balloon has deflated...and is stuck to the poster. ARGH! Others have been ruined by the cheap tubes or triangular boxes getting crushed in the mail.

The folded stuff is much, much easier to go through. Oh well...
CHEERS!

I paid too much for this (just $27...but probably too much)--and I may already have a copy. I haven't seen the flick, but that artwork... Yowza! I can't wait to see that hanging up in the house. Is this one of those instances where the poster is better than the flick? Ha!

3 NUTS IN SEARCH OF A BOLT:
Zowie! Mamie Van Doren in pasties! HOW was this poster ever allowed in 1964? This film (and Mamie's career?) may be a distant mammary, er...memory--but this wild poster lives on. Just as Jayne Mansfield was hoped to become the next Marilyn Monroe for 20th Century Fox, Mamie was Universal's attempt at a Monroe clone. Like Mansfield, her career in films found her in smaller and smaller budgeted projects that were more and more risque. (Mamie and Jayne were BOTH in LAS VEGAS HILLBILLIES.) Mamie is 90 now and, as of this writing, the only one of the 3 Ms (Marilyn, Mamie, and Mansfield) still alive. I have been looking for a nice copy of this poster for years. Now, to just score a NAVY VS NIGHT MONSTERS one sheet and I'll be good with my mini-Mamie collection.

LOST HIGHWAY (International):
Oooo, I love David Lynch's work. LOST HIGHWAY isn't his best, but it does have its moments. The scene near the end at the party between Bill Pullman and Robert Blake... What a simple yet AWESOME moment in cinema. I have posters for the film--but I hadn't seen this one.

HALLOWEEN KILLS (Advance):
Yes, of COURSE I'd have to get a poster for the latest HALLOWEEN film. Jeepers! I've seen these posters go crazy high...close to $200 or so. Insane! I got this as a "buy it now" on eBay from reputable poster dealer/APF member Dale Dilts for $69.89...which is still much higher than I'd normally want to pay, but... I just wanted to get it and be done with it. A few months after the film comes out, it will more than likely drop to half of that price (or less) (and I base this on the current prices of the 2018 HALLOWEEN one sheets). I wonder if there'll be a final poster release for this flick. I almost hope not (but really want a new one), as I am packing up my posters and am sooooo over dealing with rolled posters. OMG!!!
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5mnGUw-3gtI/YQSHF-TM1mI/AAAAAAAA0NQ/0ZTSxtodqbcZQ1whhg3JSHDmwUb8HwtFwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/Halloween%2BKills%2Badvance.jpg)

That's it for the posters--but not for the post.
As I've mentioned before, I plan to move in late October. My poster room/office is all torn up and looks like we had an earthquake or something. There is crap in it everywhere. I have been working on my tubes. I have been lax--for YEARS--about dealing with them. Now, I'm paying the piper... UGH!
Instead of moving zillions of small tubes, I am opening them up and trying to put a lot of posters into larger tubes. I'm also trying to weed out posters I don't really want and putting them in piles for either going to auction, selling myself on eBay, or just giving to a thrift store (for those really lame posters that pad out bulk lots. Crap or not--I just can NOT trash them...so to a thrift store they go...) I now realize I HATE rolled posters. Sure, they display much better than folded posters, but storing them/moving them are a pain and separating them--UGH!--what a hassle. And, it must be easier to send them rolled, because I have tons of tubes with posters that should have been folded and sent by were rolled instead. Grr.
I'm doing this project in one of my guest rooms. The pile in the photo below is now much higher. My recycle bin is full. I am nowhere near being finished either.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xZofgfRlN5o/YQjCPEWgy4I/AAAAAAAA06E/tQK_xXbdx-8PKgQDC_iIgfZw25UNRRSEACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/20210727_235239.jpg)
The good thing about doing this, aside from weeding out the crap and duplicates from stuff I want to keep and condensing it all, is that I am finally seeing things I have owned for years but have never seen. There are dozens and dozens of tubes that are sealed and have never been opened. I think the oldest I've seen so far is dated 1998. Seeing some of the posters in real life is amazing--compared to just photographic images. Some are just stunning--far more gorgeous than I ever imagined. I've also come across a few things I had no idea I owned. Ha! In addition, I have found several items that were damaged severally or ruined in packaging. This includes things purchased from auction houses. Not naming names, because accidents happen---and I am lame for not opening the tubes (and a few boxes) in a more timely manner and seeing what I had. It's the smaller sellers who have been the most frustrating though. One seller apparently decided to include a blown up balloon in a rolled poster he sent me. I have no idea why. Years later, the balloon has deflated...and is stuck to the poster. ARGH! Others have been ruined by the cheap tubes or triangular boxes getting crushed in the mail.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b5CtLnzRaq0/YQjCPAk4LKI/AAAAAAAA06A/Ovdnhi2a73IsGpAWw5WAPfoggnTttlJYwCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/20210728_200349.jpg)
The folded stuff is much, much easier to go through. Oh well...
CHEERS!
If you find any tube WE sent that got damaged, and you never got around to reporting it, let me know, even if it is from 1998. But I want to see the tube, because as you know, ours almost never get damaged!
-
And I really like the images this time. But why did you put black thumbtacks in the corners of some of them? Doesn't that hurt the posters? (This is the #1 question newbies ask!)
-
Zowie, Bruce...that was F-A-S-T! Thank you for visiting my page. I know you are kidding about the "thumbtack" question---but just in case any newbies are looking, reading your question and wondering... NO, those are NOT thumb tacks. They are magnets holding the poster down/in place for photographing. When I display my posters, I frame them.
NO WORRIES about the past shipments. As I said, "accidents happen." I had a feeling you'd get offended--which was NOT my intention at all--if I mentioned you or your company by name. I will say that the most glaring and totally shocking problem I've seen so far came from a rival auction house. EMovie is still No. 1 with me. (I'll send you a note.)
Again thanks for visiting the page--and CONGRATULATIONS on your auction tonight.
CHEERS!

SHARKWATER EXTINCTION:
I love the JAWS flicks, the rip-offs, and bad shark movies in general. This looks like it's probably a documentary--not a bad shark movie--and a sequel at that. BUT...it was fairly inexpensive and I got it to pad out the postage of another poster. I have never heard of this (or the original SHARKWATER mentioned on the poster). Lost to COVID, perhaps?

Sharkwaer (2006) and Sharkwater Extinction are very good. Great cinematography and other work on important issues. Sadly, the filmmaker and environmental activist Rob Stewart died during the production of Sharkwater Extinction.
-
What? How did he die? Don't tell me shark attack. Thanks for the thumbs up on the films. I'd not heard of them before. Cheers

Rob Stewart and his dive buddy did multiple deep dives. They were diving with rebreathers and tri-mix - helium, oxygen, and nitrogen, which compounds the factors for safe diving. Unfortunately he probably suffered from shallow water blackout, due to hypoxia - a lack of oxygen, and did not survive.
I admire your passion for the shark movies. There are a few on my watchlist I've been wanting to watch. Maybe they have cool posters I can share on the apf.

Thanks for the update on the director's death. Man...so tragic. Let's see those shark poster, too. Whoo hoo!

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! Today's haul is eclectic as usual (is it usually?), but I think there'll be a few surprises in store for you. Anyway, sit back, get comfy, and let's begin...
SPACEHUNTER: ADVENTURES IN THE FORBIDDEN ZONE (3D glasses):
I know! This is NOT a poster. It is still movie related, though...and I am a sucker for gimmicks and all things 3D. I had NO IDEA these glasses existed. I know that many 3D movies in the 80s had glasses made specifically for them--but many others used generic glasses. I have been hunting for a pair of ROTTWEILER 3D glasses (which I have seen pictures of, but never been able to find a pair to buy) and I have been hoping to find a pair of AMITYVILLE 3D glasses (if they even exist). I had never seen nor heard of 3D glasses being made for SPACEHUNTER (which, despite my love for 3D, I have never seen! EEK!). When I saw these, I pounced.

While the SPACEHUNTER glasses are not that spectacular, they fit into my collection nicely. Sometime during my move, I expect to encounter my FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 3D glasses (I have two pairs---I saw the flick twice during its original run) and will add a pair.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and BLOOD AND BLACK LACE (Death certificate):
I KNOW! These aren't posters either. Duh. I bought all of these items (for way too much money)...and all I wanted was the Death Certificate. THE MASK 3-D glasses were from either a video or TV showing. I don't want that. The Magic Mystic Mask IS the 3D glasses from the theatrical showings of THE MASK...and I have several pairs already. Likewise can be said of the 13 GHOSTS Ghost Viewers (I hope it is the larger, theatrical ones and not the shrunk down home video-sized ones). The 3D Magic Vuers are supposedly from the 1950s---which is swell. But they are generic--NOT for any specific movie. Waaagh!
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiVZhSihAJUuunUKd1RXrj2Uxmpz7EfVu3jYtt4_XzyzX47vdNqXK22w91howJF62QqITKPJ8v03RdbmWFRbpCEoiy5HvTo0jz2n_j6QSIh-09B0e6ikJ-ouVivST8LGolyyVo8ei7DW-pNO1W2Xt4IRX_0IdvFjqCk6gsrCqguYmFnT1_nh70skMJH=w640-h480)
But the Death Certificate...I'd heard about things like that but had never seen one. Yowza! I'm excited. Once I get moved, I can't wait to frame and hang some of my gimmicks I've collected over the years...

HILLBILLYS IN A HAUNTED HOUSE:
I already had a copy of this poster, but two corners had been ripped off. I had waited YEARS to get a replacement, because the poster is "just okay" and I am NO FAN of country music. UGH! For those who do not know, HILLBILLYS IN A HAUNTED HOUSE is a sequel (!?!) to another forgotten flick (for which I do have the poster to), LAS VEGAS HILLBILLYS. Both films feature Ferlin Huskey (WHO?), who was apparently a country singer (but I know him best from the movie SWAMP GIRL. Ha!). LAS VEGAS HILLBILLYS also starred Mamie Van Doren AND Jayne Mansfield. (They actually have a scene together---but there is never a shot of the two of them together, unfortunately.) Neither did the sequel, although Mamie's character, Boots Malone, returns (this time personified by Joi Lansing). Horror icons John Carradine, Lon Chaney Jr, and Basil Rathbone also star. (Spoiler: They are up to no good...and they are the ones "haunting" the house. Duh!) This is a Warner Bros. er, Woolner Bros. production, done on an obvious low budget. Of the country stars listed, I have heard of Merle Haggard and Sonny James (I think). Joi Lansing is listed as one of the country stars. She's not, but she does sing a song (about "beautiful gowns". Ha!) Joi tried to have a singing career in addition to acting. Her best tune is "Web of Love" which was made into a marvelous Scopitone (sort of like an early music video) that can be viewed on YouTube. Why did I finally buy a copy? I saw one for sale and I submitted an offer for more than half -off the asking price---and the seller accepted. Zowie!

THE BEAST AND THE VIXENS:
Zowie! I already have one of these. (Of course I do.) However, they are not all that common. So, when I stumbled across another at a fairly decent price, I snapped it up. Uschi Dagard is in this...as is Joe Smith (who?) as "the incredible primate monster"! After getting my original poster, I believe I tracked down and bought the film on DVD. Have I watched it yet? Or was it so lame I've already forgotten it? (I tend to think the latter.) Either way--what a ferociously awesome/campy/cheesy/sleazy poster!

HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS (Style C):
While I know I have the Style A one sheet (Just a large cast photo) for HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS, I have never been sure if I have this style or not. Styles B and C are essentially the same poster, with C being in full color, while B is tri-color. (What a waste of a style...) I loved DARK SHADOWS as a kid. The movies were okay--except the first one was just a rehash of the early Barnabas storyline. The second one seemed utterly unrelated, almost as if in a parallel DARK SHADOWS universe--except for the presence of Angelique. the witch. Too bad there were not any others (until the decent 80s revival series--and then that dreadful Johnny Depp film).

INCUBUS (Italian):
I had been hunting one of these for months. I stumbled across one and---wow! I loved the artwork and needed one. I've tried for a long, long time to find one in good condition. Recently there was one on eMovie I went for. I didn't watch the auctions (I was out doing other stuff that day) and came back to discover that someone else (no names...but they go by the user name "eatbrie"--Ha!) had snagged it. That's fine. All is fair in love and posters, right? But then I found another one...I offered less than asking price and got it at about the same price as the eMovie copy. Hooray!

NIGHT KEY (re-release):
Normally I would stay away from a re-release poster...except this was for an old Boris Karloff movie (circa 1937) and the re-release poster itself is from 1954--making it nearly 70 years old itself! Zowie! I'd never be able to afford the original release poster. AND--once again--I got the poster for less than the asking price. Hooray!

THE FOG (2018 small French re-release):
John Carpenter's THE FOG never really did it for me. It was okay--but not great. I have the US original release one sheets and I was done. Then I saw this 2018 re-release poster...and LOVED it. I had to have one. I was hoping for a large French size, but accidentally got the smaller size. That's okay. It will be easier to find a place to hang it on as it will take less wall space (aka less poster space--room for more!). Ha!

STAR WARS:
I stumbled on this poster on some obscure auction site online. I know STAR WARS posters go crazy high. I watched this poster for several days. I tried to research the poster to see if I could find any sign that it was a fake or was, indeed, legit. It will probably turn out to be a fake, but it went for a lower amount than I expected---so, I bid and won. (Of course, the price I thought I got it for and the actual price --after fees, etc.--were very different. Ouch!) I am not a STAR WARS fan---but it's all about the down-the-road resale value for posters you buy as an "investment", right? All of my poster collecting career, I have been kicking myself. At the very first comic book store I went into as a kid that had real movie posters for sale, they had a STAR WARS for all of $25. It was there for months. Instead of getting it, because I was not a fan, I opted to buy other titles, such as LOGAN'S RUN, CARRIE, FLESH GORDON, etc. Stupid, stupid, STUPID me! If this turns out to be a legit STAR WARS poster---even though I've spent hundreds more than I would have back at that comic book store in the late 70s--I hope I can finally let that long-time regret about NOT buying the poster GO. (If not, I hope it sells down the line to eat up a big chunk of debt OR afford me a really nice poster that I "need"/want. Here is the poster and some shots of the various areas on it that may or may not show it's legitimacy. What do you think? Is it real...or was I ripped off? (The shipping was certainly a ripoff...From New Jersey to California via UPS cost me another $93.91. Ouch! So much for getting this "cheaper" than expected... Especially if it is a fake!)

TARZAN AND THE HUNTRESS:
Zowie! I can't believe I scored another Weissmuller Tarzan poster. This poster is a staggering 75 years old--but it looks marvelous! This is one of the Sol Lesser Tarzans...and "lesser" they were. This was the next to the last appearance by Weissmuller in the role...and the last time Johnny Sheffield would play Boy before being sent off to college (i.e. written out of the series because he was too old for the role). Jane, aka Brenda Joyce, would actually go on to star in the first non-Weissmuller flick, opposite Lex Barker in the role of the ape man. Yahoo! A big Tarzan yell for scoring this one sheet!!!

Golly---that makes 10 new things, so that is my post for now. I'm still getting ready for my move. I've dumped hundreds of posters into local thrift stores (Don't freak--it's nothing you'd want. Just junk that was used to pad out lot purchases.) and sent a bunch o' stuff (perhaps too much stuff?) off to auction. I should not be buying more---yet here we are.

Anyway, thank you for visiting. Hopefully I won't be back until AFTER my move. I'll be seeing you. CHEERS!

Cool stuff there. Star Wars of course. Nice 3rd printing. I need one of those. Incubus, great Sciotti, I actually won one last night. And Ferguson's Fog, great design. Much better than Escape from NY, Prince of Darkness and They Live, imo.
Nice!

Hi T. Thanks for the visit. And excuse my ignorance (since I don't follow the STAR WARS thing), how can you tell this is a 3rd printing of the STAR WARS poster? I am mostly clueless about this title.
And yes, I know you got the INCUBUS poster. I saw the results of the auction later. CONGRATULATIONS! But honestly, I was stunned. That did NOT seem like your kind of poster at all. Great art though. On that we obviously agree.
CHEERS!
-
You're right, the title is not really my thing and I haven't even seen it, which is totally against my collecting habits.
This being said, I do like Sciotti and I have been adding pieces here and there whenever they show up. Not too many yet, I know, but it is not a big focus of mine.
https://www.moviepostersgallery.com/enzo-sciotti/ (https://www.moviepostersgallery.com/enzo-sciotti/)
Regarding Star Wars, there are 4 different printings of Style A. I won't pretend to be an expert, I just collect, so I will send you to Bruce's auction history where they are clearly labeled.
T
-
Awesome---THANKS! The other sources I found online didn't mention anything about 4 printings---just the 77/21 having either a -0 or a -1 behind them and the placement of other items and the "hair" on Luke's belt. Based on Bruce's auction history, mine seems to be a 4th printing as it does not include the phrase "style A" on it. THANKS though.

Hey! GoGo,
Some nice variation in the last group of posters you posted on here thumbsup.gif
I've been a Star Wars fan since I was a kid, that's certainly a classic image on your Star Wars poster, strangely enough I don't own a single Star Wars poster in my collection, not sure exactly why that is, possibly because many of them are expensive but maybe more so because there are so many different Star Wars posters out there that I truly would not know where to start, of course would love to own a 1st release UK quad by Chantrell, but sadly way out of my price range nowadays :(
Tarzan poster is also pretty cool 8) remember when they used to show the Tarzan films on TV in the UK all the time, used to have a Tarzan season and they'd show loads of the Tarzan films back to back, always thought Weissmuller was the real/ultimate Tarzan actor, would not even be allowed to show them anymore because of the "politically correct" world we now live in eyeroll

Hi John! Thanks for visiting the thread. I'm glad the recent post pleased you. That's always good to hear. Weissmuller was a great Tarzan, but I preferred Gordon Scott and Mike Henry. I loved the whole series, actually. I've seen/have all of the existent TARZAN movies (some are, unfortunately, lost to time...) But I am THRILLED with the TARZAN poster.

What probably helped Weissmuller for me was the fact he made so many Tarzan films, I think that certainly can help when you think of an actor playing the same role.
Funny enough Gordon Scott is a Tarzan I've always remembered, can't for the life of me think which Tarzan film it would have been but there was one of his Tarzan films that always used to be on TV possibly more than any other, and it was one of the best Tarzan films for sure, but it's truly years since I've seen any of them, probably 20,30 years, so I don't remember too much about the actual films overall.
-
Yes--Weissmuller made an astounding 12 TARZAN flicks. Being TARZAN was like being JAMES BOND....and James Bond may have lead to Tarzan's downfall in popularity. (One of the Mike Henry Tarzan's was quasi-James Bond-ish, actually)
-
Only you could do it, Monster! You've officially cheated the grim reaper by posting your own death certificate from this side of the tomb! Pretty darn clever of you, my friend. Wise not to sign it, too.
Also, not too many APFers can combine boobies, Karloff, Luke Skywalker, Ole Barnabas, Tarzan needing elastic in his loin cloth, hillbilly gorillas, John Cassavetes... No--wait a minute--I can see the connection clearly now: Adrienne Barbeau. Genius!!!
Cool, eclectic posters, Monster!
Okie

OKIE!!! Thanks for visiting. I'm glad you liked this batch-o-rama. And how astute of you to catch on to the Adrienne Barbeau thing. That is how I have survived life--with Adrienne Barbeau. On all of my tests--history, math, science, etc.--if I came to a question I did not know the answer to, I just wrote in "Adrienne Barbeau"--and I passed! It's a good thing my testing days are more or less over--and I'm glad I took my nursing exam when I did (about 10 years ago) as the Adrienne Barbeau thing has somehow started to fail me. I just barely passed me nursing exam. I didn't get any of the pediatric questions right when I picked Adrienne Barbeau, but in gerontology and even some of the post-mortem questions, Adrienne Barbeau worked like a charm! CHEERS!
-
Monster, Did you include a choice visual of Ms Barbeau along with your written answer on the harder questions? That usually helps the grader more fully realize why your answer is the correct one... Okie

Brilliant, Okie! I wish I'd thought of that sooner. Hmm. I wonder if that will help me these days with my medical tests? Ha!

Welcome back. Oh my stars! WHY am I presenting another Shock-O-Rama Poster Show when I will be moving a month or so? I am CRAZY for still shopping for posters this close to the move. UGH! BUT--here we are. Let's let the show start. (I've got to get back to my packing!)
THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA (Advance):
I might have one of these already...I'm not sure. I wasn't wild about the LA LLORONA movie, but I liked the final release poster a lot. This one is interesting as well. It was inexpensive--and I bought it to pad out the shipping costs of the poster below.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8Y2IcoJzg6Y/YUAYzL7HoHI/AAAAAAAA3h8/F17_nGALytgA8TSquk7ZlctC3p9Nzp68wCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/Curse%2Bof%2BLa%2BLlorna%2Badv.jpg)

THE BOOGEY MAN:
Argh! I've done it again. I have SEVERAL COPIES of this poster. I just keep rebuying more (if they are cheap). I don't know why... I did like the movie, though. I saw it when it first came out. It was playing with ZOMBIE. Great double feature for a 15-year-old (or whatever I was at the time). To see this, my grandmother had to buy a ticket--and I got a ticket for something else (that she would like) and then we switched tickets! Awesome!

STAR WARS (trilogy re-release):
Cheap. Not sure if the STAR WARS special editions resonated with fans or not. I do recall the staggered way they re-released, about 2 weeks apart. After a while, one local four-plex was showing all three of them. on the fourth screen, they were showing something called FOOLS RUSH IN. I could kick myself for NOT getting a picture of that marque. Oh well. Hopefully I can resell this down the road...

THE SUICIDE SQUAD (International 2021):
No, I'm not becoming a super hero fan (or are these super villains? Or both?). I bought one of these because I was beyond thrilled to see ART work---instead of just photoshopped heads everywhere. I never bothered seeing the movie either (and who is the guy in the BVDs in the SUICIDE SQUAD gif below? Captain Underpants? Is that his costume? Tighty whities? Ha!) However, while packing for the move, I smunched my copy a little on the side. So--that copy I gave away...which meant I needed a NEW copy. Grrr. Thank you, Dale Dilts!

MALIGNANT:
I had seen this poster around for the last several weeks (months?). I wasn't impressed with the design at all--kind of blah. BUT--although I have yet to see the flick, I have heard nothing but amazing praise for it. I thought I'd snag a copy up now---just in case it goes crazy in a little while for if/when it cements itself as a true horror hit. (But I probably should have waited a few months for it to be a bargain basement poster...)

A*P*E (aka SUPER KONG) (Italian 2 Foglio):
I have this same poster art from a Turkish release where it was called SUPER KING KONG instead of just SUPER KONG. Why buy another? Because...zowie! It announces that this version is in 3D (which the Turkish one did not) and in something called MEGASOUND! Wow! Gimmicks-A-GoGo, baby! This flick hails from South Korea and goes the Godzilla route with a man in a (very bad) ape suit, stomping on miniatures. At one point, the giant ape turns to the camera and flips it off. Really! Never heard of top billed Frank Taylor or Gilda McDonald? That's because they are NOT in the movie (yet both the Turkish and this Italian poster promote them as the stars). Instead the leads are Rod Arrantis and Joanna DeVerona (aka Joanna Kerns from TVs GROWING PAINS). The US one sheet (which I also have) is also very fun--but has completely different artwork. I still do NOT have a 3D TV, but apparently the 3D in this flick is phenomenal, way better than the flick deserves. I have the BluRay...someday I hope to be able to see it in all of its cheesy 3D glory... To see how jaw-droppingly bad this flick is, the preview/trailer can be seen HERE: https://youtu.be/wUGT6drsJLM

FRANKENWEENIE:
As I continue to (endlessly) deal with my posters in anticipation for my move and go through all of my posters that were in tubes, I find things that were either ruined in the mail or not as advertised or with conditions that I missed. I already had this FRANKENWEENIE. I love the poster--the movie was just okay. However, my copy got munch in the mail--so there is a nasty wrinkling all down the right side about two inches in. GRR! Here is my replacement.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iIsHe4LAvKk/YTmVjeDUcMI/AAAAAAAA3Oc/JtslxvAY3Z82bjUaMf3e29wvVhcQxSKCQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/Frankenweenie.jpg)

CHINATOWN:
Admittedly this is not in the best of conditions---but not the worst either. Nor is this a typical Monster A GoGo purchase (although it is a great film). Why did I buy it? In one of the very first articles I ever read about people buying movie posters for their homes (The article is now lost to time. I couldn't tell you where it was published or when---but it was long ago), the store owner (I want to say it was the guy from Hollywood Book and Poster, but I could be wrong...) was discussing how people kept asking for the CHINATOWN poster. That has stuck with me all of these years--especially since up until 2010 or so, I knew NOBODY who collected movie posters like I did. CHINATOWN was always too pricey for me or what I was willing to spend (especially when there were so many great horror and/or exploitation posters out there. Ha!). But I have one--finally. Time to move on...

NIGHT TIDE:
I need to see this movie. I was lucky to score this poster. I've been intrigued by it for years. The wild pink and yellow color scheme hooked me first, then the curious imagery (Mermaid in the box and the hair-like tentacles reaching out all over!). Very cool.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HcJA5AUiGLU/YTmVsk83gPI/AAAAAAAA3Og/X9yMiTBE31Yo3oCEWAuQLhKlqvjz5noxgCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/NIGHT%2BTIDE.jpg)

2001 MANIACS (prop ear and fingers):
I know this isn't a poster, but... EEEK! It's a severed ear and a bunch of cut-off fingers! Of course they are latex and not real (I hope...). I got these gruesome props at a recent auction. How fun! They will hopefully display nicely. They are from the not-too-bad, but far more bloody sequel/follow-up/remake of H. G. Lewis' clasSICK 2000 MANIACS from 1964. (But the sequel to this, 2001 MANIACS: FIELD OF SCREAMS was just AWFUL!) Once I get moved and get the display ready, I'll--of course--post a picture. In the mean time, if I need to give someone the finger...I've got plenty to do it with. Ha!

And there you have it... That's the 10 new things for this posting.
And now, I really MUST resume moving preparations. I am so sick of it. And my poor posters are being ruined. I never want to move again!
The other night, I was removing HALLOWEEN II from its frame and--UGH! I ripped it. That's what? A $100 or $200 poster? F!!!!!!

The very next night I did the exact same thing the exact same way to Doris Wishman's NUDE ON THE MOON. ARGH! That's roughly a $1,000 poster!!! (Not any more... CRAP!!!)
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b0TwXDmL8Mg/YUfa4Ti1i6I/AAAAAAAA3rs/CV1In1Cji7cGcsUPdI-xsfJhV-8uocHqwCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/20210917_205722.jpg)
Earlier today I was putting other posters away and I split the top fold about two inches on my re-release of BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. Mother F!!!!!@!!!!!!! This move is causing e to RUIN my collection. I hate, Hate, H-A-T-E this!!!
Okay. I'm done ranting. See you next time--hopefully AFTER my move. (Scheduled for the end of October...)
CHEERS!

Welcome back...but wasn't it just, like, yesterday that we were here last? Yep. It was... That's what you get for blindly bidding on a bunch o' stuff on Sunday night auctions...and then returning to see that you've "won" a bunch. Oops!
So, let's get on with today's post. I have so much to do. I'm packing, the house is a mess, I have company coming (!!!) and am expecting a plumber. O' the joy... (NOT!)
STAR WARS (Special Edition trilogy re-release):
Didn't I just add this to the previous post? Uh, well, yes... sort of. Oops! I ended up winning two of nearly the same poster. The only difference I can see is that this one gives dates for the releases. The other one had no dates mentioned. Snore.

STAR WARS (Special Edition rerelease):
Boy, I guess the Special Edition rereleases really are not fan favorites. I was totally expecting to be outbid. I wasn't. Oops...

WILD GUITAR (Alternative day-glo style):
Oh my! Such HIDEOUS art! I love it. Wild Guitar is another bottom-o-the-barrel Ray Dennis Steckler flick. This is one of a string of films he made that starred Arch Hall, Jr. -- a guy whose father tried to turn into a movie/recording star, as he (Arch Hall, Sr) financed all of his son's films. ("Nicholas Merriwether" is an alias for Arch Hall, Sr.) There is a more polished (and far more common) one sheet for this flick. I had NEVER seen this one, and--as I said--it is God AWFUL. I had to have it. It smashes the fun barrier! Ha!

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (Remake):

ALIEN VS PREDATOR: REQUIEM:
I'm not sure I had this one either--not that I needed it. The film was rather weak. BUT... this super cheap.

AVATAR (International):
AVATAR was is, if I'm not mistaken, the biggest box office hit ever to date. Is that correct? I know sequels are on their way--but I hope James Cameron did NOT delay making them too long. I expected to be outbid on this one sheet. Yes, it's an international version, but still. Nope. I won it for the minimum bid of $10. Perhaps the AVATAR hoopla has moved on...

BEHIND THE MASK:
Another poster I didn't know existed (I thought this went straight to video?) and am surprised to have gotten for a minimum bid. This was a popular little flick in its day. It was also rather meta-clever. But minimum bid? It's already forgotten. Zowie...

GODZILLA 2000:
I saw this in the theater. While not great, it was better than that Matthew Broderick thing in the late 90s. To me, the thing Godzilla was battling looked like a giant bed pan. I think it morphed into something else, but for the longest time I expected the Big G to try and take a dump in it. Ha!

HELLBOY (International advance):
I've never seen the HELLBOY films, but this poster looked interesting and different from any other I've seen. Okay...sold.

FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN (military rerelease):
Goodness me... I remember back, maybe 10, 15 or 20 years ago, military one sheets were something to snub. They were dirt cheap. And now look at me spending hundreds for a Universal monster military poster. This is the third military monster poster I own. I guess we'll do anything for our monsters. I'm actually excited about this one.

Greetings! And welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! My stars! The clock is ticking on my upcoming move--and what do I do? Buy MORE posters! UGH! Here then, quickly, is a look at what I picked up in my last days left in California.
It's not much, but... HERE it is:
VILLAGE PEOPLE - RENAISSANCE (Album promotional poster):
Ha! Ha! Ha! I just have to laugh. On a Sunday evening, after an exhausting a full day of packing for my move, I got an invoice from Movie Poster Exchange. Of all of the things I had bid on, the ONLY poster I had won was this crazy craptastic Village People poster for the promotion of their (forgotten) album RENAISSANCE. So why would I bid on this? Well, just look at it. Too funny. It's no secret I like trash. I came to "discover" (if that is the right term) the Village People LONG after they were off of anyone's radar. They were just too campy and unintentionally funny not to dig them. Their RENAISSANCE album (which I bought, like all of their albums, years after it came out---and do not remember any of the songs listed below) came out after disco had died and they were struggling to stay relevant. Renaissance was their attempt to become part of the (what was it called?) New Romantic (??) movement of the 80s (i.e. Spandau Ballet, The Romantics, etc.). Instead, their attempted New Romantic makeup job looks more like Clown School Cosmetology 101. What they hell were they thinking? Somewhere around this time they tried to change their names to the hip sounding (??) "The VPs"--and that was a big FAIL, too! Ha! Too funny. Just like this poster. it makes me laugh. I haven't bothered with the VPs, er...Village People in years. But what the heck?

BLAST-OFF GIRLS:
I already have one of these---but this HG Lewis poster was going for less than I thought it should, so...I bid and...the rest is history and a slightly higher credit card balance.

THIS STUFF'LL KILL YA!:
Another Herschell Gordon Lewis poster I already had and another I thought was going too cheaply. So, I bought it...

WHAT WAITS BELOW:
I know nothing about this flick. I'm guessing it's bad (which would not be a surprise at all). I did like the clever use of the stalagmites and stalactites of the cave in the artwork to suggest teeth in a frightening mouth. It was cheap. Eh...

THE LIVING IDOL:
I admit, I have not seen this flick. Someone posted a copy of this poster that they had on All Poster Forum a few years ago. The image of the woman tied to the stakes and the wild verbiage ("Amazing drama of love and reincarnation") hooked me. I started seeking a copy out for myself, and finally... Voila!

BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA:
This is not the most attractive poster ever. It's kind of BLAH actually. I've been looking for one--casually-not so desperately...for years. Whoopie for me, I finally scored one. What's the deal? This was the very first Sam Peckinpah movie I ever saw. With a title like BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA, is that any surprise that I gleefully rented this puppy in the VHS era? Ha! It wasn't what I expected at all--but it was a decent introduction to Peckinpah, and I am forever glad to have made his "acquaintance", so to speak. YEARS later, when I was a writer at The Fresno Bee newspaper, I ended up having to do a (very glossed over, quickie) article on Peckinpah. I didn't know it until I started the research, but Peckinpah was born in Fresno in 1925 (which was probably why I was given the assignment. Duh!)--so there was yet another connection or two.

KING KONG (1968 re-release?):
I came across one of these a couple of years ago on eBay. I should have bought it then (it was cheaper) and I was really considering it...but then someone else did. Argh! And this poster is a bit of a mystery... It's an odd size, 25x38, but it seems as if it is (trying to be?) a legit re-release poster. Just look at the verbiage on it. It's no secret I dig KING KONG. So why didn't I snatch this up right away before? Because of one stupid thing... The artwork is not original. It's the the poster art for KONGA, reversed and in black & white with the one arm raised higher and the biplanes added in.

FRANKENSTEIN (Egyptian 2000s re-release):
Normally, I'd skip re-releases---but when it comes to certain posters that I will NEVER be able to afford, I sometimes make an exception. From a recent eMovieposter auction, I picked up this Egyptian FRANKENSTEIN re-release. I'm not wild that it's a one sheet using an apparent insert to reprint the art...BUT, when will I ever be able to afford an original FRANKENSTEIN ? It's a REAL, theater-used poster. SOLD!

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (Egyptian 2000s re-release):
What I said about the FRANKENSTEIN poster above goes for this nifty THE DAY THE WORLD STOOD STILL. I'll probably never own the original---so this is a good, legit substitute. My complaint is that the Egyptian lettering on this one is too prominent on this one. It's much more discrete (i.e. less noticeable) on some of the others... But I am still glad to have snagged it.

DRACULA (Egyptian 2000s re-release):
Yes--another Egyptian re-release. Of all of the early DRACULA poster styles, this may be my favorite. Glad to have scored it.

And that's it. Now, I seriously doubt I'll have a new post for a while. ALL of my posters are now packed away. My move is scheduled for November 2nd. I still have a LOT to pack and get ready for. (That's not to say I won't be bidding on anything. Emovie's late October auctions--especially the Halloween one--are calling to me, AND they will hold items for weeks afterwards, giving me a chance to get moved and settled in somewhat.)
Have a groovy October and a spooky good Halloween (and do NOT bid on the posters I'm after, please! Ha!)

The movers are coming! And, what's this? ANOTHER poster post? What??? I know. I know. I do not have time for this, but here we are anyway. I've got another box to pack. If you'll excuse me, I'll let you wander through today's poster show on your own...
FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 3D (3D Glasses):
I saw this flick TWICE when it came out in 1983 and kept both pair of glasses. Have I seen them while going through boxes and stuff for my move? Nope! I ran out of time--with many boxes left yet to be explored (Man, I've got a LOT of crap!)--and just went ahead and bought this pair when they showed up on eBay. I can always resell them later, I am sure. I've seen lots of other pairs of supposed authentic 3D glasses for this film come and go. The red and blue lenses were NOT the ones from the original release. (I'm old. I was there. I know.) These, with the lame doodle of Jason's arm stabbing a poker (presumably through the viewer's right eye!?!) are what was passed out in theaters back then. YIKES! Into my 80s 3D glasses display it goes...once I find and unpack the display, that is! Ha!

FINAL DESTINATION:
I bought this on a recent online auction. The description mistakenly listed it as a lenticular--so I bid. And then, I came across the lenticular elsewhere in the auction and bid on that. I ended up winning both. I don't know that I own a paper one sheet---so I am okay with this, I suppose. I do like the series and it was only $10.

FINAL DESTINATION (lenticular):
And, of course, here is the lenticular...This was strangely inexpensive as well. $23 or so, I think? Good deal. I did like the FINAL DESTINATION series---although its gimmick got old quickly, lasting, what? Five or six films only? Still it was initially clever---and this is the poster from that first film.

CHOPPER CHICKS IN ZOMBIETOWN:
I never saw this late '80's flick. I never realized it had a theatrical release, actually. I do remember seeing it in my local video store. I was uber-curious about the title--how could I not be? The poster art was fun (and very '80s). Maybe someday I'll bother to track down the film as well.

A SCREAM IN THE STREETS:
This is a Harry Novak production for his Box Office International releasing company---and played drive ins over and over and over for years. I never saw it at the drive in, but I did catch it on home video in the VHS era. It's recently found new life on BluRay through Severin. As I recall, the film was all kinds of crackpot sleazy, with a (spoiler) very bad/obvious drag queen who was a strangler of women. Cops are on his/her trail, but they and others stop to have the closest thing to pornographic sex (without actually being pornographic sex) I've ever seen in an R-rated movie. I think I might have a copy of the poster already. But, just in case I didn't, this wasn't crazy expensive, so...

SURF NAZIS MUST DIE:
Like CHOPPER CHICKS IN ZOMBIETOWN, I couldn't pass up this cool-titled poster. I remember when this played. I wanted to see it so badly. It sounded rad. This was just before I learned what Troma was and the typical quality of a Troma movie. I don't recall if I saw this on VHS or not. Is it worth tracking down? I'm guessing that a Frankie & Annette BEACH PARTY movie this is NOT. Ha!

THE CRIPPLED MASTERS:
Here is a bizarre-O grindhouse classic. This hails from 1979 and is about two deformed men (one has no arms--they are "cut off" in the story, but the man was born without them--and the other has withered, useless legs--which were also "destroyed" as part of the storyline) who learn to overcome their handicaps and get revenge against the mob boss who crippled them. It is shocking but amazing at the same time. The two actors are very skilled in their martial arts craft. There were actually TWO sequels made--but I don't think they were released theatrically here.

ZOMBIES ON BROADWAY (Half sheet):
If you've paid attention over the years, you'd find I almost NEVER buy half sheets. I've just never cared for them. So why a half sheet now? Hello!?! ZOMBIES ON BROADWAY?? I've been wanting one of these for eons. I'd rather have a full sheet...but until I ever get one, this is a nice place holder. The one sheets, when they bother to show up, are not crazy expensive...they are just elusive and don't show up often. I DO have a spot in mind to hang this already, actually. In the new house there is a lower floor (I'm on a hillside). All that is down there is a garage and one bedroom. That bedroom is destined to be a home tiki bar. In the stairway down, I plan to hand jungle- or island-themed posters, along with tiki masks and other tiki-esque items, with vines coming down the walls and ceiling--all leading up to the tiki bar. Right at the first turn in the stairs, there is a spot too small for a one sheet...so that is where ZOMBIES ON BROADWAY will hang. Yes, Bela Lugosi is in it. Wally Brown and Alan Carney are sort of Abbott & Costello wannabes. Despite the absurd title--YES, this is a REAL movie. Now, if the tiki gods could just get me the one sheet...

MOTHRA:
Wow! Color me surprised---and BROKE! I won this in eMovie's Halloween auction. There were several things I bid on. Despite my move (the trucks come Nov, 2--Tuesday!) and the preparations for it, I spent Halloween largely away from the house. I saw HALLOWEEN KILLS, went to lunch with a very sick (cancer), older friend, and dropped by another friend's place to bring her a lot of stuff I can't take with me to Washington. I was gone about 6 hours. I was able to check in on the auction from time to time, but by and large I missed it. When the smoke cleared by the day's end. This (and CHOPPER CHICKS IN ZOMBIETOWN) was my only win. I was a bit disappointed (I sooooo wanted REVENGE OF THE CREATURE or THE UNIVITED), but also floored that MOTHRA became mine. MOTHRA is on the list of posters I don't have but really want...or it was. Yahoo! It's not the best poster ever--but still, it's MOTHRA! Now if I could just get an original GODZILLA (non-linebacked and for far less than the $2,500+ it got on eMovie).... Ha!

And that's ten. I am literally going to be moving as of tomorrow. I'm leaving here on the 4th and expect to be in my new home sometime on the 6th. I haven't stopped shopping after all---just had 7 of the 10 items held until after the move. When will I be back? Who knows? But ugh--with the unpacking goes the cataloguing and reframing/hanging. Oh, and the holidays as well. Blah! It's not going to be fun.
I hope your Halloween was spook-tacular!

I like that Mothra poster. I've never seen the movie, so it's not something that speaks to me, but the poster is really cool.

I'm glad you like the MOTHRA poster. Thank you for saying so. It's always a pleasure (and a pleasant surprise) to find you've visited my thread. :)

Okie! Thanks for stopping by. No, the SURF NAZIS still have my stuff in moving purgatory. I actually had a call and it should be here next week...just before National Gobble Gobble Day...Hopefully. Cheers!

Love those Egyptians! love love love. and expect a refund and keep the poster...due to the description stating the regular poster is a lenticular...oops.

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. And guess what? I am finally MOVED! I have new (to me) naked walls to fill up with my amazing posters. Hooray! My house is on a hillside and there is this one bedroom-sized room in the basement (It's not really a basement--but there's nothing down there except the garage--which I do not use--and this one room) that I hope to eventually transform into a home tiki bar. The stairway down to it, I intend to try and make look jungle-y with vines and tiki-esque decor. As a way to incorporate my love of movie posters with tiki, I plan on framing and hanging some of my jungle-themed posters in the stairway. Things, like some of my TARZAN posters or my recent ZOMBIES ON BROADWAY half sheet, or even my JUNGLE HEADHUNTERS one sheet or posters like HULA HULA will work. But I am getting way ahead of myself. That won't happen for quite a while yet. In the meantime, here is a look at my latest acquisitions:
THE WAYWARD BUS:
I'm the first to admit it. This new poster of mine is ugly. I really dislike the art. Why buy it then? Hello? It was cheap--duh--AND it is for a Jayne Mansfield movie (back in the late 50s, when she was still an A-lister) AND, as a bonus, it stars Joan Collins! Ha! Plus it is based on a John Steinbeck story (that I have not read, but...), whose work I greatly admire. Too bad all of those positive things are crammed into such a homely poster. I'm guessing the movie was a dud as well. This is one of the few with Jayne I have NOT been able to track down. (There is an out of print Blu-Ray, but it is CRAZY high. No thank you...)

THE BIRDS (Promo Mask):
I know... I know... This is NOT a poster. This may be as close as I ever get to an original THE BIRDS poster though at the rate poster prices keep going up. Jinkies! As it was, scoring this promo mask looked as if it would cost me an arm and a leg, too... and then one popped up fairly reasonably price and---SOLD! This is more than a promotional mask. It has a sweet little gimmick built in. Each mask is numbered on the back. If the box office was displaying the number on the mask, you got in free. The catch was you had to be wearing your mask to claim your prize. Ha! Can you imagine? This will proudly hang with other movie gimmicks if and when my stuff ever arrives from the move... Yes, as I write this, all of my stuff is STILL in moving Twilight Zone limbo. UGH!!!

LEGEND OF DINOSAURS AND MONSTER BIRDS (International one sheet):
O' this is a rare find. It's coming to me from Turkey, but originally hails from Japan and looks to want to be riding on the coattails of Toho's GODZILLA monster flicks and from the brief spat of dinosaur flicks from the late 60s/early 70s. To my knowledge, there was no US theatrical release (or, at least, theatrical posters). I've seen other posters for this in the past, but they were always in other languages. This one is in English. I watched it for a while and then snagged it.

THE SCORPION KING (movie props):
I certainly did not expect to win this. I bid on it, sure--but not a lot. I know this is a spin-off of THE MUMMY remake series from the 90s, but I'm not even sure I saw SCORPION KING. Ha! It is fun to own a real piece of a movie--although it would be better if it was a movie I was familiar with and really fond of, which would give the piece more of an emotional value. I think I own the series on DVD--and have always meant to get around to watching it. This will give me incentive to do so, I guess. I hope they don't suck...

THE SCORPION KING:
I scored the props, I might as well get the poster to hang next to them. Right? I may have one already--this movie was 20 years ago. Who remembers what they bought casually 20 years ago? It's NOT that exciting, but...

SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II (Video):
I am late to the SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE party. I have long had a one sheet for SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE 3--but had not seen the movies themselves until last summer. Sure they are all loosely connected (and really kind of campy crappy bad). I can see the cult appeal of them, though. While I am hoping to track down theatrical one sheets for Parts 1 & 2 to go with my Part 3, Part 2 was the one I liked (is that the right word?) the best. It was just so WTF with the inexplicable singing/dancing murderer and his killer (literally) guitar. It was like the MTV version of a slasher movie. I'll score the one sheet for this when I can find it---and send this off to auction if/when that ever happens.

FORCED ENTRY:
Wow! I finally got one of these. This is an early pornographic roughie about a Vietnam vet (who has continual flashbacks) who breaks into women's homes, rapes and terrorizes them before he kills them. It's a pretty unsettling thing to see now. Imagine back then? Laura Cannon is a forgotten porn star who is top-billed in this, but a young Harry Reems (under a different name) is the real star; the psycho vet who keeps imagining he is in 'Nam. This film was remade a few years later for a more mainstream audience and stars a young Tanya Roberts--but had very little of the grittiness (despite the porn factor) that made the original an underground hit and was quickly forgotten.

FORBIDDEN ZONE:
Wow! I don't believe I've ever seen a FORBIDDEN ZONE poster for sale before. I snatched this one up as soon as I saw it---despite the obvious wrinkling. It was only $15 plus postage. But how could I NOT get it? As much as I HATE linenbacking, I would seriously consider the process for this poster--unless someone knows a way to remove the wrinkles by another means?

THE BIRDS (Promo Mask):
Wait a minute! Didn't I just post this at the BEGINNING of this post? Yes--but no. This is ANOTHER copy. I decided that, to display this properly, I'd need to show BOTH sides---the mask and the whole promo thing on the back. Yahoo! I found another. Hooray!

It's amazing that you were able to find not just one but two of those masks for "The Birds"! I decided to check out the price for the one sheets and wow those are definitely up there in price! Would be amazing to own one though, maybe you'll get lucky on one of those as well one day?
I believe that was one of the first classic films I had ever seen.
Also great pick-up on the Slumber Party Massacre poster! The second one was my favorite as well, but I just really love these films!
The one sheets for the first film are a lot more common and affordable now than when I bought mine - I have even seen them go under $100 so you can definitely get lucky with that one!
I wish us both luck on the theatrical poster for the second film though as I have yet to spot one out in the wild!
The video poster pops up every now and then and I am tempted to go for a rolled one as mine is folded and I'd be able to display the back as well with a second, but it's not a priority for me at the moment!
Good luck with filling up all that wall space with your amazing finds and that Tiki theme sounds amazing! Would definitely love some pictures if you are able to get it done someday!

First of all, today is the day. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Heather_Mason_SH3: Yes---I was lucky to get two of THE BIRDS promo masks. They were both from the same dealer (at different times.) You and me BOTH would love to have a THE BIRDS one sheet. Maybe someday... As I hang stuff up, you can bet there will be photos. Thanks for the visit.
Okie: I dig your interpretive word dance responses to my posts, Daddy-O! And those "snowed in B-movie angels" might actually be snowed in as ---eeek! We ARE expecting snow AND sub-freezing temperatures. NOT FUN. Brrr!
Thierry: Another surprise appearance. Thank you for your visit as well.
CHEERS one and all! Ho ho ho!

Hey, Monster! Did you get that snow? Okie

Yep! I had a "white Christmas". It's snowing now, actually...and below freezing all of this week. BRR.

Any snow orcas around the islands up your way, Monster? You could signal them with their 1977 movie poster! Okie

Snow orcas? Hmm. There are regular orcas in the waters here. There are these bells here in town and other places around the island you can ring when an Orca is spotted. And, of course, every time it rings a snow Orca gets its snow wings.
-
LEGEND OF DINOSAURS AND MONSTER BIRDS (International one sheet):
O' this is a rare find. It's coming to me from Turkey, but originally hails from Japan and looks to want to be riding on the coattails of Toho's GODZILLA monster flicks and from the brief spat of dinosaur flicks from the late 60s/early 70s. To my knowledge, there was no US theatrical release (or, at least, theatrical posters). I've seen other posters for this in the past, but they were always in other languages. This one is in English. I watched it for a while and then snagged it.
FORBIDDEN ZONE:
Wow! I don't believe I've ever seen a FORBIDDEN ZONE poster for sale before. I snatched this one up as soon as I saw it---despite the obvious wrinkling. It was only $15 plus postage. But how could I NOT get it? As much as I HATE linenbacking, I would seriously consider the process for this poster--unless someone knows a way to remove the wrinkles by another means?
Lots of fun stuff here, congrats on all and your move.
You are correct on Legends of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds, no US theatrical release, but several Central/South American Countries and a few in Europe.
For the longest time I thought I had a complete set of 8 lobbies on the film, then I got a set of International cards in the Toei mailer and it had an amazing (or not so amazing) 20 cards in it! That will give you something to look for.
As for Forbidden Zone, I think what you want to look into is gel-backing. That will size and flatten the poster without linenbacking it, then they can remove the thin gel layer once it has dried. A pretty great process to de-wrinkle your posters.
-
Crowzilla: Zowie! Thanks! I just spent the last half hour or so looking into gel-backing. That looks like the answer. I'm surprised more people don't discuss gel-backing and that linen-backing seems to be the go-to preservation/restoration process. I probably won't get to it until sometime this spring, but it is on my radar now and I really think it is the way to go-go. Thank you ever so much.
-
The Orca bell sighting idea is really cool, Monster. Is there a movie theatre on your island? Maybe you could host a B Movie film festival and we could all Orca watch between movies?! Okie

Hi Okie! Yes, there are two theaters on the island, but none in my town. The one in Langley (The Clyde) is a one-screen art house-type cinema. The one in Oak Harbor has three screens and a little bar. There's also a working drive in, the Blue Fox, in Oak Harbor.
-
It sounds like a movie festival might work out well on your island, Monster?! You're doing quite well with two theatres and a drive-in. Okie

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show...and happy new year! I have a few new purchases to share--but only a few. You see, I've been busy. Since moving in early November, I've been living in a house with bare walls. O' the HORROR of it all. That will never do. So, I've been busy framing. But we'll get to that momentarily. In the meantime, here is a short yet sweet look at my new acquisitions. O' the joy:
THE LAST REMAKE OF BEAU GESTE:
My first purchase--on New Year's Day--of the year...and it's a dud I didn't need. I already have one of these. Why I bid on it (on some obscure online auction), I have no idea. I bid on about a dozen other things as well, all of which I was outbid on (of course!). The reason I even bothered with this poster is because, as a kid, I loved this silly film. I haven't seen it in decades though and, like I said, I have a copy of the poster already. Oh well. $5 plus shipping is not the worst thing I've ever wasted money on.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEglh7mROWvtrSKAbtcyya1esjD6Q3WV87oI9Sp89ff0cUITdqAuqX5aXIAJFWBTTvf0lvVEb0CaKz7spFhUvBEu1ng3Lw-Tto0IJ2FlgaZAETSq08zFbChQBTbtnpKnyNmqfVDB54UGALOLnvfXfgjMpuvD0GzMbKAY0Dn3MJrg6md2zwsFgu2GcxWb=w430-h640)
BLACK HOOKER:
Oh my stars! I just got one of these a short time back...after trying to get one for YEARS! And here I end up with a second copy. Actually, a friend of mine was just gaga over my BLACK HOOKER poster and wanted one for himself. I spotted this one on eBay. It has a few issues--but I got it for a decent price...and now I have his birthday present covered for this year. Hooray!
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEidK7XmkCUJMeVhNoNul2FnefHpTRVGRVbjA5hm-UjwbiNgZydwCbbb8X3egqa0FIpgM5LXIPoQqlhWKQvSEvDuqwKTIZhXa8sHooVf-wg8TyAFg40wk02cq3MmMpi8DQYjTWrluYOpav39Cp3mq0U0Dzk95VQemRfNQWKC-9aMxVjHt8zM2fYfC1fv=w516-h640)
TARZAN AND THE SHE-DEVIL:
Wow! I love this Lex Barker (Talking Tarzan #2 after Johnny Weissmuller) Tarzan poster. Barker was a decent Tarzan, it's just that his movies were part of the Sol Lesser output---ultra cheapos that were slapped together. They were not nearly as engaging as others in the series. The poster itself has a few issues...but I think it adds to the pulp-iness aspect of it. Co-starring Raymond (PERRY MASON) Burr and Monique (ANDY WARHOL'S FRANKENSTEIN) Von Vooren as the She-Devil! Ha!
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhHuvs10kanu-BHmCDJ-fermp36zn3P94Psg5Vnkcorf99E_aS5KYK6LL80jUYbKq-KjoyyFyUMps6dhX1gRLlbHAI8b78E7fF3y7mpJr8gWi3ePlHUAM9tx8G2J08SRUj0H_W6SqbmgoF-V93BZx6N8y7qnj4V_IzdzRm7L3HEdIwVSfmV9d1L4cH1=w426-h640)
And that's it. Really! What, you ask? Just THREE? Where are the usual 10 per update? Well, I have not been shopping anywhere near as much as I used to. I am broke, in declining health and I just moved. I have too much on my plate to buy a lot of new posters. However, following my recent move, I've started framing some of my old posters again. Those I DO have to share with you. This time, with the exception of a few classic titles I'm always going to display, I've decided to frame posters I've not had up previously. Here is a look at what I've gotten framed so far:
DOOR TO DOOR MANIAC:
This really is such a wonderfully simple-yet-cool poster. Yet, you rarely ever see it posted anywhere or talked about. And music legend Johnny Cash is the killer? Too awesome not to frame. (And--surprise! This cool poster is actually a re-release/re-titling. It was originally released as FIVE MINUTES TO LIVE. Despite the fact this is a re-release, I find this poster far superior to the original.)
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgHBUU3QG7ZYFj5RtHZTJj05RiRPKPlD4V5-9Uz4sK9yAXbCyeD7dY8_PYPV4yXat5tx0rWNqvqToh_9xeHBlOoaJPCoxU38tL7PsR-w-5gRTZQvTWC9Q3sq72Noaurqdy2PN18ZMRyICdyBSk2sfr1Kl2G9Xuiw9vFAZuCkNSxJPQ0rNN9EPNZmBSb=w480-h640)
EYEBALL:
I have the other style of poster for this title, but had long wanted this superior one. It was one of the first things I framed. Yowza! The movie is klind of fun, too...but it's a giallo instead of a true horror film.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjjT2LwFefRAaZIunQMPA6H34X3ZP4LC7J6h4CM-kn4Q3y8u5WFa4BkrrnI3LEyUrserXuCguXbhIWqdGDmsg3u1I5Vp1HjiEYRlLR8mBFjzMcvpgQsVmMX-rQ2Wn46rSAsK97sTKD3teAINdKuDcUqEVJ25aybToGUgjHS-V6ZPIRWCy4eBxSo9bLw=w480-h640)
ORGY OF THE LIVING DEAD (triple feature):
I don't know why I never framed this amazing poster for this re-titled re-release triple avalanche of unrelated Euro horror movies. It's awesome.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj-6VuQgBH0WXl1UH34zTxAYt1ld7R_DrRDtnmsxyzVkE2DsdizcM7Y27gUqA0TKdAD6jQ40zTUUXNXXsq9AOo7w9usDJ7og5VbNYbnpM1kni2e1bnrhjolYZUUEFHlSXiazy7voRGr4GlKm1JeqkNNv6F0eis_Sh2wK1ZCb2BA_-VO5WHQE1tfUcj0=w480-h640)
GURU THE MAD MONK:
Her is another Andy Milligan title, one I've never displayed before. What a great poster. I guess I never bothered before because it is just in black and white and red. Sure, Milligan's movies are crap. I still enjoy them (if that is the right term), although often times (as in this case) the posters are often better than the films themselves.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEggv1wXKsF7yR2vdmfvZ4GX3hyVCFYyX3tXJ0VOPileplKPj5Ha9N923O8q2ryyuGXWyFdmCaZzSt39DBkDTr7DLjArapTQsFGfnBLY5gR8qD3nGtWVgfgJl35IfI8uZYkBD-ha2kKjfefzQIRFmf8xMxzRlzk9jpavKsCuLAUXmTVX4C1L-d_BK3rV=w480-h640)
I DISMEMBER MAMA and THE BLOOD SPATTERED BRIDE (combo re-release):
I have toyed with the idea of framing this poster off and on for years. While I have the one sheet for I DISMEMBER MAMA (and also the one for its original release title, POOR ALBERT AND LITTLE ANNIE), this re-release double feature has the cool gimmick of the Up-Chuck Cup mentioned. Ooooo! I so wish I had one of those (Unused, of course.)
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiibs0hIRhlO1eKJLATJoUbRMFuaxc_wS-6-YFmY0tofsrv1OLL_VqFZlA1tpsug1sVixzq9e7C6jh2Hx4QrPGyAGrhamLRwtkN8Ul7H9ybwVML8xYGiqFzDIPBKqcluy60mD-aD_N7IceFJtKQ7jcvolrbl2FQMPhHXTAB_Y6IK9gMljEoYHFZ3Tc1=w480-h640)
IT HAPPENED AT NIGHTMARE INN and THINGS FROM THE GRAVE (re-release combo):
Speaking of re-release combo posters, I framed this one as well...but I'm not sure I'm all that happy with it. I framed it because it is kind of a rarer poster, but it's not that exciting. THINGS FROM THE GRAVE is actually a retitling of CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS (which I also have the one sheet for). Perhaps this one will get swapped out first. I might want to go back to the wonderful I DRINK YOUR BLOOD/I EAT YOUR SKIN combo poster. THAT one is classic!
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhBG2SyK3hTamYQx9N0fnnZbjURW5TvVcEA2O6G7BqTW0Qlui3J_uliOiErcZ7mkE2Eu0-zoEBKIG0e970FOv9-fFCbuTDQZIlNk9j6gSqR-oCZjTXjlUKp03p1UV6MzsGhOPx69uXDCWHl2llRx5dDIergno3prX7urXzU7Qr_pOA9LUKF2-NGIRHe=w480-h640)
CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS:
I dig the NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD / DAWN OF THE DEAD knockoffs before the age of video...especially the ones from the early 70s. This flick doesn't really get going until near the end, but the poster is kind of fun. It's also getting harder and harder to find. Glad I've got one.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjKVTrepqgV2_RvDXQUr1euFdKKmp4MlK2lR5bDRGgqb5Uv4oN1usc5pKidkauD58atRW2q2YM7f-X_sOjJqSdth_ESnFtqXT8pN9btQSEliNXlLuH4Mc5U7ADM1a0cK2XP5g-uA2Gj6WNXJOqo3IADJQ6ekRYf5Ut_BOgod_ofMd5ZeaxLc5cDKn3b=w480-h640)
GHOST CATCHERS:
Here's a fun, old poster from from the mid-1940s that featured Lon Chaney Jr, Andy Devine, and Morton Downey Sr. I've not seen it, but read about it. It's described as a screwball comedy with music (but not a "musical"). Fun graphics and a pink ghost! Ha! "They've got hants in their dance." (Anyone know what "hants" are?)
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEivGFsZ_mEF-F_noMqTVIR6HJutiQCDcfekqaKipDD_U_aEQoQSAkZQjxHlTfIXt8ICI1XJujSH7nqSeLrEcpNe-ohQ-F_cOvuBWf17Fx0h2ugurRRpu89tWT9BuC03-Noj3f_2QIiPsm9mkeIcwF1Ws6QVU1zhasl_64EPtP2tfpDTyian-2RETmX3=w480-h640)
HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL:
At last I've got my copy framed. Wow! Wow! Wow!
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiyEoZ-qltDDfktmqUVPRiKGXHuTYhQLk9jKMNePx-ETy8eYB0BUxwpENjzxSPCYV6GeF08AWXtjiOeX0g41cqBpAW6ITfKcI6Wf7ERQRyLDcCsW49V2FW2KVkBGWgn1f4CJHbIXRRMCcaGhbEAiJxqkZ1AATmkirBngwtcgKjETMd6pNaA296oHM3t=w480-h640)
INVASION OF THE ANIMAL PEOPLE with TERROR OF THE BLOODHUNTERS (combo):
Wow--gotta love the cheesiness of this one. I believe this was the film that was originally called TERROR OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN, about a yeti-like creature in Scandinavia someplace.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh_zUV4WsyOp0k2YlbJDYN0Z8I4hJbboTtbJzIZA5IyizAuv8e_fXkBgZRu5qbq89MPf3oBCtRfa_9qf8vf4QqI4fj-o7pRkTc7UNlaXLoG9rDlsI0qiGeq416DELjSbZSYnTIU4ijYeEowbjUElibvEJekWtyBK9wtNUSFko8Jwxgs0TEz3O6nF4ha=w480-h640)
MAN IN THE DARK (2D style):
I was not going to frame this, but as I was going through my posters, a friend who is visiting saw this and liked it and wanted it hung up in "his" room. He isn't here now, but--okay. I can hang it in "his" room. No problem.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEioFqUS-PKpzllPs1HnHlgM3eDstpSISf8RKqF52aROmh8B40bAy0RD69pII-fcpk82IR4jylMnXkxDfYDrWXp7BUvfnVycmT2Y7_I7SNkp--mHR4yhq1Kk268j3U8Vyk20QL35b28rYG0LZ3BHyHYcym-eB4MGZEuEtQ87287hCasQgJ6_guARSZBk=w480-h640)
MAN IN THE DARK (3D style):
Since I am framing the 2D MAN IN THE DARK, I might as well and frame the 3D style.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjBJ8klyBVHaU3sv8km6D9tFyB1-o1eb92LCF-lcAW0vbnMDfKTXYxkBsg-xbVx2wPNktZvqOLdmQmJDO-iZXiqDrWo6v5i6ZlkwjXBjMfHxKGAWWhs4Cmg3niSS1cKUZjHBtEVr5X31Jlu7u509n4qgdVET--WvuR-CWnbaRrZ-zI2hfKHFuaOOXsl=w480-h640)
HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS:
The charge an arm and a leg. (That tag line alone earned this poster's framing.)
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi3jae0pXkhcSEI6LRxt8E5Jqn6YyKJWGcGWAhXTc2k1jnl56OxAGLRtYgM4BLK72v8zqH6z8eJVetQGGgQLgaZFkZdSnXPbyFmYq5QNRNypqQ_L_CTW1lWN2BH0WJu0NXvVfIzIcP1B8d8lLaFeHOCqzaozUbcDxdMhk3pVexGrLf6G-LJPmLuHyKL=w480-h640)
MIDNIGHT MOVIE MASSACRE:
I didn't even know I had this when I was digging through my boxes of posters. I've certainly never seen it. But, wow! Look at those cheesy graphics. I LOVE it. This flick from 1989 is a throwback to old 50s-stly sci-fi flicks and stars 50s sci-fi movie vets Robert (THE HIDEOUS SUN DEMON) Clarke and Ann (WAR OF THE WORLDS) Robinson. Released on video as ATTACK FROM MARS.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiGf2lWiyAd_9BkeikMuVIwpsfNPEliuH22oFRotAG4V79dM_Jdh0wZbC30oc143dN0qD1ZKa7hFIY5o1k4Kydl5fZZLCNHO7r9G1e7AtvpgL0StAAEbNTQk_HZEhoIZw7vBimhL-eUh60fwsxskPTBTT6Y9AVb6PPE_5HxL20mrZ2pi_Ru_ux4YKQA=w480-h640)
INVASION OF THE BLOOD FARMERS:
On the day I started framing my posters, I happened to watch INVASION OF THE BLOOD FARMERS. The movie is awful...but the poster is awesome! In fact, the poster is better than the movie...by a LOT! No where in the film does the scene that is central to this poster (the farmer with the pitchfork slamming it down into the girl victim) happen. Ha!
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjWCYHqKXHXmmJw7wqiqrvzE02uR1NI9mHM2UWqBzxDlJTv1XPsUQPv9SdLP50h5JitjVKpDjQi-SaVKkGpM_c7iuAtW2tObZzCG-F5eM2yO2JR5lSLkxNwDSuq1vcRlySPTddFmwlCuje7nswPGw3wmx3OlXyQFG99psVrVljlMtHpWmazVPqJ_AeV=w480-h640)
CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST:
This is not the best poster ever---but it is super rare and hard to find. My understanding about this poster is that it was printed for a release of the film in 1982 that never materialized. Another company finally released the movie in the US in 1985--but without a new/different poster.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhz_EHdlSxYVinvk4dzd32crjiXz88M-zAFoN66yFjtENSB5IVX415r9cJZeg1chcOZcJZmeqsmfNO1PnO-bNJYDneVdhVD3yqahRMdBPtLE0IK-zQaVSO921roVupe3pn46kroqt9mxSy4bfEy2sYUjG1zuu9l1Q-yQ-55mTkLswWQzak9ZyOHQVNh=w480-h640)
CREEPSHOW:
This advance CREEPSHOW poster also has some studio-juggling history. This poster was issued by the United Film Distribution Company, the company that released George Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD, DAY OF THE DEAD, KNIGHTRIDERS, and other films (such as SLEEPAWAY CAMP). Warner Brothers bought the distribution rights and the poster was changed for the Warner release (to that of the Creep selling tickets in an old-fashioned movie theater box office.) This poster, in my opinion, is way more fun.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgu_8q6wmSjy_tM5IEz4S5cv0iTi7cyReWgc2Jlegr6Xx8YwaCXszIjh51-oVAekIU3Pjpc2qT8Z00hAAK0ReCUE2n0vFgkLsd86DaXoaFh6HfKKFr4K-PladN9YXsT4QlqPvR2SqYB7cOuTg6E8YzSiXev4xvoUHGeoV2voxZ4_t0pyVlhKHSvOArb=w480-h640)
MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND and BLOOD DEMON (Combo):
It's the infamous 2nd film in the BLOOD ISLAND trilogy (or 3rd if you count TERROR IS A MAN). It features very cool art of a bloodied zombie thing attacking Angelique Pettyjohn. The co-feature BLOOD DEMON is actually a retitling of THE TORTURE CHAMBER OF DR SADISM.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEioQAoXpy7WUPh4sI_0Sfe7QyqTDzRL8lE4Ed2esrTDC0H7GqCqaHKAKnTx4DqF1HKspZ5euf-8X7c4VJZtsCkVjiicRt8W9pR2tabM-RR7sakdICHfnd0tEFsNlQWztgXScv6vxgO2hGA_ByWQTaQgN7pmaODC9PP3m9V_nmyy_VbW3QWA67oLBeRp=w480-h640)
BEAST OF BLOOD and CURSE OF THE VAMPIRES (combo):
The third and final film in the BLOOD ISLAND trilogy. You've gotta love the image of the zombie-thing ripping off its own head. Zowie! B-movie filmmaker Brian Yuzna is trying to revive the series with a series of comic books prior to committing to filming. The image below was the inspiration for some of the comic art as well as a series of tiki mugs put together for the Kickstarter account to get the comic book up and running. CURSE OF THE VAMPIRES is a low-budget vampire story...set in the Philippines. Filipino vampires are so NOT the Transylvanian variety.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEizrAC-BlHACWtR656g-Q4ujnnyS2yE7pBGqsD6Sp_oQRU0AFu6wLsJNByMGK0V04rCyylJkH0EhRPmGdG2hVl-9z2nScFp20ACAF4Sg-LVUTC8K4IR3JEM9d9qS4iTH1nRXWjB97HsbJchZv0Jpy4NARfa2Ix0_40IjmCKUVv_7vrWAv2lmO6uqSCE=w480-h640)
BRAIN OF BLOOD and VAMPIRE PEOPLE (combo):
When the BLOOD ISLAND series dried up, distributor Hemisphere Entertainment hoped to keep milking BLOOD cow with a series of unrelated movies with BLOOD in the title. BRAIN OF BLOOD is an Al Adamson mess that stars Regina Carrol (aka Mrs Al Adamson) and Zandor Vorkov (aka Roger Engel, a stock broker who financed some of Adamson's films and who starred in two of them. The first one being in the role of Dracula in DRACULA VS FRANKENSTEIN). VAMPIRE PEOPLE is a retitling of THE BLOOD DRINKERS, the first Filipino horror film shot in color.

SPOOKIES:
I saw this flick years ago in the VHS era and hated it. Years later, after several people convinced me to give it another chance, I have it on BluRay and I find that it's not bad--if you like bad movies (which I do). Wonderfully cheesy practical effects in it. The poster is kind of fun--so I am delighted to have picked it up and have it framed now.

Part 2:
SPOOK CHASERS:
I had never heard of the Bowery Boys until I got my first Bowery Boys poster. And even then, I had no idea just how many Bowery Boys films were made (48, not counting earlier incarnations as the Dead End Kids, Little Tough Guys and the East Side Kids) until later still. SPOOK CHASERS appeared near the end of the series. It has fun, vintage graphics. I totally dig it.

THE BOWERY BOYS MEET THE MONSTERS:
I have had this one for a while. Did I ever frame it? I don't remember, but don't think so. It makes a great companion to the other Bowery Boys poster, SPOOK CHASERS, even though this one is 10 films earlier.

THE GIANT LEECHES:
I almost didn't fame this poster. It's such a cool classic and I paid enough for it. And then I noticed (Duh! Read the descriptions better, dummy!) that it had a Canadian censor stamp on it...and it killed it for me. Now that I know it is there, it's pretty much all that I see when I look at it. But, I framed it because I may never have another (without the stamp). Hmm.

RETURN OF THE FLY:
I love this poster---such great graphics and the whole hyped verbiage ("Scream At..."). How marvelous! This was my favorite poster purchase of last year and arguably the best of the three original FLY posters.

DRACULA-PRINCE OF DARKNESS and PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES (re-release combo):
I know this is kind of a dull combo poster, although I do like the gimmick at the top. That gimmick is why this got framed. I actually have a pair of the "Zombie Eyes" glasses I intend to frame and display next to this poster. (I wonder if the "Dracula Fangs" were any different than the plastic ones you could buy in any store at Halloween time when I was a kid.)

THE AMAZING TRANSPLANT:
How excited am I to have this poster? VERY! It's kind of hard to find/rare. But that's not why I am thrilled to own it. THE AMAZING TRANSPLANT was the very first Doris Wishman movie I ever saw. My jaw just dropped to the floor when her camera would focus on an ashtray or a clock or a painting---anything but the actors who are talking because all of the dialogue was added later and by focusing on a coffee cup or a pack of cigarettes, there was no need to worry about matching the dialogue to the actors' mouths. Pure bad movie genius!

THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION:
Here is yet another example of a poster being better than the movie itself. Don't get me wrong. As bad as it is, I like the film... But this poster promises a movie that is soooo much more than the actual movie delivers.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjtRxbmW9xMAgzGwpJUWxsQKwUd-qMrlJ46VVBRacm20Q_N-X8tQjCumdK3PAFn_aKtUE0dyvXNcS1CdK-ki_yVIIZdAOwBg3SjDA4mDrhoEdRCFiEA7hc9Piu3CfoVGV_hkbw7CH0zaGRdHb9rrHAHwg8keYOq3Fwk66TsxWncboocUfDxVN1YTtyG=w480-h640)
THE HORROR SHOW:
This poster, in English and in a standard one-sheet size, is so very hard to find. Although made by Universal in the early 80s as a TV documentary on the history of horror movies, it seems to rely heavily on Universal's horror library (understandable) instead of the horror genre at large. But even so, there are lots of iconic horror images in this poster. I'm delighted to have it.

BLACULA:
I'm sure this is not considered p.c. today -- but it's NOT from today. This BLACULA poster hails from the early 70s blaxploitation era and was from that rare subgenre of blaxploitation horror films. Zowie! It was a toss up between this poster and its sequel. And while SCREAM, BLACULA, SCREAM might be a more interesting poster, BLACULA is a far better movie. I love it.

SUGAR HILL:
More Blaxploitation horror fun! SUGAR HILL is a movie with voodoo AND zombies! Yowza!

BASKET CASE:
What a wonderfully weird little film this is...and surprisingly seems to be falling off of the horror radar. I have three copies of the one sheet--each one is slightly different than the others. This was the best copy of the three so it won its place in a frame. This is low-budget filmmaking at it's finest. (I really dig this film. The sequels though... eh!)

TALES OF THE THIRD DIMENSION:
TALES OF THE THIRD DIMENSION is a seldom-seen regional rarity from the early 80s from producer Earl Owensby. Owensby had a string of 3D flicks in the 80s, with other such titles as ROTTWEILER, HOT HEIR, CHAIN GANG, etc. I've never seen this--or any of Owensby's 3D movies. But I have tried my best to collect the posters for them (as rare as they are). This one, based on what I read online, is a series of three short stories, held together by a talking skeleton host named Igor in a TALES FROM THE CRYPT/CREEPSHOW manner. The poster was too interesting to keep tucked away.

DEMENTIA 13:
There are a lot of reasons to like this poster. The artwork is fun and there is mention of a gimmick (the "D-13 Test"). It's also a film directed by a young Francis Coppola before his middle name, Ford, popped into credits and before THE GODFATHER was ever published. I almost didn't frame this, though. The movie, while deliciously atmospheric and kind of creepy, just never really did it for me. Every time I watch it, I want to like it...but by the end, I just feel dissatisfied. I wonder how Coppola got from this to THE GODFATHER.

BLOOD FEAST:
Although I have posters for all of Hershel Gordon Lewis' horror films, if I was going to frame any of them, of course it would be for his first one, BLOOD FEAST, the very first "gore" horror movie ever. Have you ever had an Egyptian feast? Ha! I'm thrilled to have this poster.

TOURIST TRAP:
I LOVE this little film. I was lucky enough to see it when it first came out (on a double bill with DOMINIQUE, a.k.a. DOMINIQUE IS DEAD) when I was a 14-year-old kid. It was so wonderfully odd at the end. The poster is just creepy as well. Chuck Connors stars along with a young Tanya Roberts.

THE GATES OF HELL:
I was also lucky enough to see this in the theater when it came out. Although it was made in 1980, it didn't open here until 1983...just after I turned 18, so I didn't have to worry about whether its self-imposed X-rating would be treated as an X or an R (as some theaters did for films like DAWN OF THE DEAD, ZOMBIE, PIECES, etc.). Although better known today as CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, I had no idea what I was walking into when I went to see this. I knew it was by Lucio Fulci, who had done ZOMBIE. Based on the awesome artwork, I was expecting more of the same. But ZOMBIE this was not. This was wildly different in a good way.

THE NIGHT OF A THOUSAND CATS:
I love this cheesy poster for a seriously dumb movie. The cats are actually secondary to the plot of the film, but who cares when you've got such an exploitive title and such kitschy cool (in an awesomely bad way) artwork?
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiilSYPXumfBUjEw6g39eL1pSuDwJ4SZZ_r59ZypsdURJCZevZ1Iwu0yiphQ5qLmGRD8xspTJ-iqYr6eE857F-srGsLJQ_kK7NPUxMvf6aXTMjfQw7bx5dCI2Mwk5Inmaf7haBcscPtSJPfg5B27scEb9rYPCi-ZzibPfaXUXk4GWrOvBRKzOxcf1GT=w480-h640)
THE REDEEMER:
I love this poster. It has ZERO to do with the movie---and everything with marketing. I remember when the ads for this movie popped up in the newspapers using the same fantastic image as featured here on the poster. WOW! It looked sooooo creepy, spooky cool. I wanted to see it very badly. This movie is better known as CLASS REUNION MASSACRE--a sort of an early slasher film (shot in 1976, but released around the same time as the original HALLOWEEN in October of 1978.). Clearly trying to ride the wave of THE OMEN (The tag line reads: "First THE OMEN...Now THE REDEEMER") and the subtitle reads "Son of Satan". The kid pictured has creepy glowing red eyes---and what is with the diabolical figure behind him? Well, there is nothing supernatural or diabolical or eye glowing about this film. It's just the picked on former teen getting revenge on the popular kids who, years earlier, gave him grief. When I finally saw the flick, you can imagine how disappointed I was. However, I still dig the poster. It got me to track down the film decades later. That is effective marketing.

BLUEBEARD'S 10 HONEYMOONS:
While this poster looks like the film is about as pedestrian as an old William Castle flick, I really dig the poster art. The line of skeleton brides behind the living bride coupled with the list of the ways the 10 brides met their ends is very fun and clever...in a 50s sort of way.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiF0qX0JrsBulruyxZGlZcTvnyPI1Y2ZBl5n0i04gBXr2FQ-aJv6hbcazv631t7R0xYipauuxnsipRSOAtvPPlsel5NWYP77TbDxdATRC_pfAJ0U5KzbgrxmZLFaq6vyXIuowywxp62rOtEDlr-5T9h8HvzFgB7KIc5Ctp_IAS02kSCCaLG7Ekgyw2t=w480-h640)
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN:
Yes, this is a comedy...but the look of the film and the poster art really do convey the feeling of the old Universal horror flicks that the film so wonderfully spoofs. This is a classic poster.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiC4Aw5nJM3Au7KNmLPJRFM76we36_yIdujYDO1AHjVeFdVBzTUCW-D_mcTiV9hRDtvoXkaocx6BGj1A3MM2KZwhaDghaX-VmK8436kaBQLTNfnBIUQMRvmRB3GatrkufBA7P6IZlz3Q_dSHFMOzuDxhmaOARzI4YUlviUZF4qCwDLSfU8hGsCzFLoQ=w480-h640)
OLD DRACULA:
I have had this poster framed in the past--but decided to give it a second lease on framed life because A) I really dig it (especially the skeleton in the coffin wearing cat-eye glasses) and B) although it has nothing to do with YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, I thought pairing them together would be fun. This film started off life under the title VAMPIRA, but had a pre-US release title change to OLD DRACULA to cash in on the success of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, hoping audiences would think the films were related. I remember seeing this when it opened in a double feature with FOOD OF THE GODS when I was a kid.

SNUFF:
As I've been reframing my posters, I've been sending pictures of them to my mother. She actually really likes my collection and is glad I am framing them again. Except earlier this evening she called and told me that while she liked all of the pictures of posters I had sent her, there was one she didn't like. It was this one for SNUFF. "That really happens, you know," she told me. I asked her if she knew the significance of this poster and why I would include it (because, after all, it's not a great image). She said she didn't. So I told her about how when this film came out, there was such an outcry from the public and people picketed theaters because they thought it was a real snuff film. But it wasn't. I also told her that those first angry outbursts and protests were all staged by the film's producers/distributors to whip up publicity. And it worked. I was 10 when this came out in 1975 and I do remember all of the outrage and discussion about it on the news. Anyone seeing the film would know that the title and what all of the poster's verbiage are alluding to are totally bogus. The movie is actually pretty lame--and the tacked on "snuff" footage is clearly bogus. But what great marketing. That's what the film is remembered for today--the controversy--NOT for the film itself.

NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES:
Better known today as HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD, I remember skipping school and going to see this about 1984 or so. It wasn't DAWN OF THE DEAD or ZOMBIE, but it was okay. After getting in my car and driving away, the very next place I stopped at, my car broke down. If it had broken down at the theater, I'd have been soooooo busted. The movie is one of the cheaper-made zombie flicks from Italy with a lot of stock footage. But the poster art is pretty nifty.

THE LOCH NESS HORROR:
Years ago, there was an online movie poster store (I don't remember it's name. Is it still around? Does anyone know?) that used this poster image as their logo. I had never heard of the film before, but thought the art was fantastic. Years went by and I finally tracked the film down. Yeah, it was a big turd as you might expect. Oh well. Then, from out of the blue, the poster showed up and I snatched it up. The movie may suck but the poster is a piece of wonderful exploitation art.

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! Today I have a mixed bag for you---something (well, a LOT of things...) old and something new. It may not be the most exciting batch I've ever presented---but it's not the worst. Take a look....if you DARE!
THE BIRDS (Promo mask):
Yes--ANOTHER one. This one was surprisingly the cheapest of the three I now own. Crazy. I didn't need it but I bid anyway (thinking I would NOT get it.) Of the previous two, one was just not up to the standards I had hoped it would be....so I have this to replace it. Hopefully it is in better shape.

MURDER ON THE CAMPUS:
This is a nothing poster. I had one of these before. When I was getting ready to move, I sent it (with a zillion other posters--thanks/sorry Bruce!) to eMovieposter.com to auction. I never dreamed they'd auction this title separately. But they did and it sold for a resounding $8...of which I got a staggering 25%. ($2) Ha! Oh well. But there was something inherently lame about this poster and I regretted selling it. This popped up on Movie Poster Exchange. I bid...and found out I won more than a week later. It's a lot rougher than the previous one. (My bad...I should have checked it out more thoroughly.) and now that it's "mine" again...yeah, I'm over it. To the bottom of the boxes it will go...

BEST IN SHOW:
Not a horror movie, I know. However, I just rewatched this with friends over the holidays. It is hilarious and a minor classic. It was also cheap. Why not?

THE HILLS HAVE EYES (Remake):
While going through my posters and starting to reframe them, I was having a text conversation with my friends Ashley and Sai. (They're married.) Ashley has seen my posters on the walls, but Sai has not. However, he has heard about them. He asked me if I had this poster or that poster. He asked about THE HILLS HAVE EYES. I had just come across my original 1977 poster and sent him a photo. He was pleased but kind of confused at the same time. Then I realized his age and realized he meant the remake. I asked and, yep...the remake. He didn't even know there was an earlier one from the 70s (or its sequel). I am sure I have one of these already, but if not I picked this up cheap. If/when they come visit, I can have this up in their room hanging. (The film was great, but the poster image leaves a lot to be desired.)

I have a few others---but none of them are in the shape I'd like them to be. Fingers crossed this one is. We'll see...

METROPOLIS (2002 rerelease):
METROPOLIS is, without a doubt, a classic. Although there have been several rereleases of the film in my lifetime, I had never gotten a poster. This one came along. It was less than $30. Sold.

CARNIVAL OF SOULS (video):
Yes, this is just a video poster...smaller size than a one sheet. BUT--I have long wanted a CARNIVAL OF SOULS poster. The one sheets are just black and red. This video poster is the same art ---and in full color (unlike the movie itself). Sure, I'll still look for a one sheet. I am delighted, though, with this. (And, hello? It was crazy cheap...like $15 or so.)

TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE:
This isn't the most exciting poster ever---but how can you resist a tag line like "Thrill-crazed space kids blasting the flesh off humans"? Beaming in from 1959 is this drive in sci-fi classic. Sci-fi isn't usually my thing...but a lot of what I buy isn't either. I spent too much on this. I was kind of licking my wounds after losing a couple of other items I really wanted--and doing some rage (well...not exactly "rage", but terribly frustrated and upset) bidding, I guess you could call it. Oh well--I'm sure the consigner was pleased. (And apologies to whoever was trying to get it...)

SCREAM (2022 Advance):
With a few exceptions (James Bond, Halloween and the other big horror series, etc.), I rarely buy posters for sequels. SCREAM is a pretty big enough franchise that, I guess, I should have been buying posters of all along. I think I have SCREAM 1 and that's it. With the new version out now (which I am anxious to see!), while I'm not a fan of the final one sheet (with the extensive cast all featured), this advance poster really works for me. It's just a simple shot of Ghostface and a bloody knife, but it is suitably scary/creepy. EEEK! (I am NOT wild about the scan thing in the lower lefthand corner though...)

HALLOWEEN II:
I have a copy of this poster already. However, when I was packing to move, I tore a bit of the border. ARGH! It's not bad, but... I've been wanting to get another to replace it. This one came up. Although it apparently has some discoloration on the lower border, the poster is unfolded. What?!? I had no idea any HALLOWEEN II posters escaped being machine folded. So, even though I paid too much for it, I am happy to have this. Hooray!

And that is it for this time. I'll be posting an update on my framing progress very soon (like, probably tomorrow?). Come back if you can stomach it. Thanks for visiting. CHEERS!

UPDATE-A-GO-GO:
The framing frenzy has continued. Below is a whole new crop of newly framed posters I am anxious to get up on my walls. Take a peek if you like. There's no extra charge!
CRY OF THE WEREWOLF:
I only got this poster a few months ago--not long before my move. I had never seen this poster before or heard of this flick. I still have not seen the film, but am thrilled to have this poster and was frantic to find it when I started framing things. It's not the most exciting poster--but it's an older, obscure horror title and that makes it exciting to me.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi9c-zQtsizcZqQbRbMFb-hFrDFZ0AnHmo4KYNEJ_LPUrizo5-tpBRSUs91VL7MoPbSBPMR3hwOnWyKaB136YfpX7GuWID7gb0botquPoIusJ7eomU7Lpn4Z4kn5sI5nXg1k-043-f6OXRVKcxNEUsDpsL2XJYkDWntISchI2I8W2cMaHeGxtl_MCLa=w480-h640)
MESSIAH OF EVIL:
What a delight to have this rare-ish poster for the obscure MESSIAH OF EVIL. From what I read, the producers of AMERICAN GRAFITTI were making the film and ran out of money--leaving it unfinished. Some enterprising person came along, bought the footage, and assembled what there was of it. The movie doesn't make a whole lot of sense--but it is fascinating to watch anyway. Marianna Hill is a totally underrated part of scream queen horror history. To me, she's like a B-movie Racquel Welch.

THE TERRORNAUTS:
I wasn't going to frame anything that wasn't a horror movie. This is clearly sci-fi, but it's simply a stunning poster. (It looks so much better in real life.) Wow! I'd have totally gone to see this back in the day based on the poster alone. (I've never seen this flick---it's apparently not even on disc in my region.)

MOTHRA:
I am still lacking (and will probably never have) an original GODZILLA poster. But this MOTHRA is stunning. I totally dig Mothra's big, creepy, angry-looking face peering over the title. Zowie!!!

TWO THOUSAND MANIACS:
I had previously framed BLOOD FEAST--the first "gore" movie. The rest of my HG Lewis collection I was going to leave unframed--as I have too many other posters that have never been displayed. However, while talking with some guy online about posters on Instagram, he convinced me to frame at least Lewis' 2nd and 3rd horror flick posters as well, to complete the "Blood Trilogy" and because both are so rare. Thank you Fangoria for, back in the day, introducing me to Lewis and his films!

COLOR ME BLOOD RED:
The third film in HG Lewis' unrelated "Blood Trilogy" (I guess his later horror films like THE WIZARD OF GORE or THE GORE-GORE GIRLS don't count?) was COLOR ME BLOOD RED. Although of the three movies, I like this one the least, I must say that I think the poster is much better than BLOOD FEAST or TWO THOUSAND MANIACS. This is the rarest of the three, I believe...and was the hardest for me to track down.

THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE:
When I started my post-move framing project, I was not going to frame anything that had been framed before. However, you just can't ignore the classics. Besides, while I know I had this framed before, I don't think I ever had it hung on display. It's only a New Line re-release poster---but that's okay. It is the same art as the original Bryanston poster and, unless you are aware of that (Most people aren't.), you'd never know the difference. I am completely fine with this one.

THE CORPSE GRINDERS:
Another classic (albeit a low rent one) poster I couldn't resist giving a reframe, Bone-crushing terror! Spine-tingling chills! Craptastic movie. Ha!

I finally got around to actually hanging some posters in the new place. There is a small hallway into my bedroom--the perfect place to slap up EIGHT one sheets! Ha!

The hall was too narrow to get the best photo of my efforts---but you get the gist of it.

The top one is a presentation of some of the gimmicks I've collected, The top is an unused pair of ZOMBIE EYES glasses given out during the showing of PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES. Below that are two Witch Deflector coins (showing both front and back sides) used for the 1964 double bill of WITCHCRAFT and THE HORROR OF IT ALL. Next is a pair of hand-help 3D glasses for the nudie cutie flick PARADISO. I can't imagine having to hold a pair of glasses up for the entire run of a movie. It says to hold in your right hand, which I guess left the left hand free. Hmm. Below that is the Death Certificate given out with the double bill of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and BLOOD AND BLACK LACE. Finally there are the front and back of the 3D glasses handed out for THE MASK.

This is the display for my HALLOWEEN II remake prop book. I just reconfigured it---having the case be horizontal instead of vertical. I did not like the Rob Zombie HALLOWEEN films, with part II being the worst (imho). However, as a fan of the series in general, I am just pleased to have a part of its amazing history.

My BWANA DEVIL (the very FIRST full-length 3D movie) 3D glasses display is unchanged. I'm just glad to have it up again.

My 80s 3D glasses display is also back up. The only change is that I've swapped out the lesser/plain pair of COMIN' AT YA glasses for the FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 3D glasses. I'm still searching for AMITYVILLE 3D glasses. Do they exist? There are other 80s 3D films (ROTTWEILER, THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE, HOT HEIR, 3D TALES OF TERROR, SILENT MADNESS, etc.) whose glasses I'd also like to find (if they exist.)

In the corner of my bedroom, near the bathroom door, I had room for three more posters. I chose to hang YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, which I had never had up before. To complement it, I added OLD DRACULA. Then, to complement both of those colorful posters, I added the first CREEPSHOW one sheet on the adjacent wall.

Finally, for now at least, here is a small display of gimmicks from William Castle. First it is one of the Ghost Viewers given out for the 13 GHOSTS "Illusion-O" gimmick. Below that is a Lucky Ghost Card for 13 GHOSTS. To the left is a ZOTZ coin from the movie of the same name. The space on the right is for some smaller, different 13 GHOSTS tickets I have somewhere.

That's it for now, but I am far from done.
Thanks for visiting.

Haha it reminds me of Mel's apartment a little. Every inch of wall was covered.
My wife would crucify me if I put a single one of these posters up on my walls (She took issues with Forbidden Planet, too provocative for our kids.)
Thanks for sharing!

THIERRY: It is always a delight and a surprise to see you here. Mel sent me pictures of his place once. The double rows of posters was great inspiration. Ha! But so far, all of the pictures I've posted are all within the confines of my room. I have not moved out into the rest of the house (yet).
I understand your wife being concerned about the kids...but I LOVE looking at/seeing my posters. I sometimes catch myself just standing and staring at them. I'm glad to have them out again.
Thanks for the visit.
CHEERS!

Sometimes I can't remember if I have a poster or not so I end up perusing my website. My son collects Pokemon cards. He probably has 1,000 of them. In books. He's obsessed. He was looking at them the other day and I was like, My God, this kid has problems. Then I caught myself doing the same thing on my website. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. My Dad collected fine art and his house was full of it. So I get it. You look at them on your walls, I look at them on my website, my son looks at them in his books... same obsessive personalities hahah

Not that anyone has noticed my absence of late, but the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show has come to a close. What, you say? How can this be? I've come up against so much in the last few years. My neuro-muscular disease is incurable and unstoppable and degenerative. That's the main thing robbing me of my fun and my passions. Now that social security has officially deemed me "disabled" I can just sit back and collect the checks. Is that what you are thinking? Those monthly checks are, for some reason, almost nothing. Yep, somehow I am supposed to live on less than $1,000 a month. Crazy, huh? I've worked hard all my life, get a disease and am screwed the rest of my days.
But while I live out my bad TV Movie of the Week life (Tonight, a nice man gets a mysterious neuro-muscular disease and his life slowly starts falling apart [all before the first commercial] before dying in the final act!), it looks like I've gotta close down the show. It's hard for my physically ---and I just can't afford it.
But, even though it has been 4 months since I was last here---I do have some new posters to share one last time. Almost all of them are cheap crap. Many of them I'm sure you have seen before. But I do save my one final (?) prize for the end. Shall we begin this last journey? Here we go...
WITCHCRAFT III (Video poster):
This was a cheap-o-rama purchase....just to buy something to fill up this post. The WITCHCRAFT films, as far as I know, all went directly to video. There are at least 16 movies in the series. I've never seen any of them. I've heard they are really bad...and I wish someone would release the full series...I'd actually watch it I think. (I like trash anyway...) I may actually have another WITCHCRAFT poster or two. I'm not sure... NOBODY else bid on this. Ha!

ROBOT WARS (Video poster):
Another cheapo... I've never heard of it. I needed to add something to this post and it looks quasi-interesting, so...

SCORCHY:
I have never seen this flick, but someone I used to know had three or four movie posters framed and up on his walls. One was PSYCHO. I can't remember the others at the moment. Poster junkie that I am wanted all of them. I tracked each of them down and got me a copy...with the exception of SCORCHY. As I said, I've never seen it. It looks fab in a cheesy, sleazy, exploitation kind of way. Now I finally have this poster as well. I'll never hang it though. Ha! I have to wonder why I bought it now.

FRIDAY THE 13TH (Remake):
I have this already, but it was inexpensive and why not? I wasn't a fan of the remake. For my money, it played just like another sequel instead of a retelling. The poster is good, though.

HALLOWEEN KILLS (Canadian):
I scored this from an eMovie auction not too long back. It was fairly inexpensive (compared to another US version I got a while back). The same auction had a US version and it went for more than this one did. Canadian. Big deal. I can't tell the difference, really. I'll tuck it away and resell it down the road a piece...

KING KONG (1952 rerelease promotional newspaper):
Here's a nifty promo item for the 1952 re-release of the original KING KONG. The little newspaper will make another nice display piece to add to my other assorted movie junk (3D glasses, Odorama cards, and other gimmicks). Whoo hoo. I dig it.

WEREWOLF OF LONDON (Egyptian re-release):
This is from an Egyptian re-release in the 2000s sometime. I didn't need it, but it is kind of nice having a poster for this old flick (that pre-dates THE WOLF MAN). I have a few other Egyptian re-release posters...DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN, etc. While not original releases (I'd never be able to afford them) and they do have Egyptian characters on them I'm not wild about...they still are theatrical posters---and not just prints.

MARY, MARY, BLOODY MARY:
I will admit that I'm not the biggest fan of this movie, BUT... I am a fan of the director, Juan Lopez Moctezuma. Although he only directed a handful of movies (and I admit that I have not seen them all), of the three I've seen (He only directed six.), two have been visually very interesting, with one (ALUCARDA) being a pretty remarkable film. Moctezuma was also a producer on Alejandro Jodorowsky's incredible EL TOPO. But this film, MARY, MARY, BLOODY MARY doesn't really work for me. It's the story of a modern artist woman who also may or may not be a sort of vampire. The lack of atmospheric sets (which contributed greatly to ALUCARDA and MANSION OF MADNESS) were sorely missed. Oh well. The poster IS fun.

OLGA'S HOUSE OF SHAME:
I dig the cheesy, ultra-low budget OLGA series---they are so bad. While my favorite movie in the series is OLGA'S DANCE HALL GIRLS (even though it has a fake Olga), this one has the best title--OLGA'S HOUSE OF SHAME! Ha! I love it. I had a copy of this poster YEARS before tracking down the flick. As low-rent as the poster is---it probably cost much more than the actual film. I already have a copy or two--but I just couldn't resist another...

HOMICIDAL (Coward's Corner gimmick):
Oh my STARS!!!! Am I ever so stoked (Do people still say that?) about this! It's a bona fide William Castle gimmick. It's the Coward's Corner used for showings of HOMICIDAL. The movie came with a money back guarantee if you were too scared to see the rest of the movie. If you've ever seen a William Castle flick, you know how pedestrian they are. Too scared to watch the ending? No way. But, to ensure that the film made money and not many refunds were given, this gimmick, the Coward's Corner, was devised. Sure, you could get your money back, but, during the "Fright Break" (when the action of the film stops for 60 seconds), you had to walk down in front of the entire audience and go stand in the Coward's Corner (it has a little window in it as well--so you could be seen while in there.), while everyone in the theater pointed and laughed and knew who the wimp was. Needless to say, not many refunds were given.
I never thought I'd ever see one of these. I have never seen one for sale. I got this relatively cheaply as it is not complete. The panels on the sides are not included. That's okay. I'd never set up a Coward's Corner (It kind of resembled a voting booth---open at the back.) anyway. (Plus, by being incomplete, it kept the price down and within my grasp!) Having jest this section (the front) is enough. But I also get 10 arrow cards (a sample of which is below) and the instruction kit. I sooooo want to get this puppy framed. It comes in two section, much like a 3 sheet. (The separation is just visible at the bed frame.)
For me, the lover of gimmicks and huge William Castle fan, this is a most incredible find.

But the time of my monthly, weekly, or sometimes daily posts has come to an end. Thanks for joining me. I always appreciated your visits. Happy poster hunting. CHEERS!

I'm very sorry to learn of your condition Monster. I love seeing your crazy posters and reading your hilarious narratives.
Here's an idea. Show us some of your posters again we haven't seen for a while but with whole new descriptions. That won't dip into your modest income and we can continue to enjoy your wonderful presentations.

Hi Mark. That is a swell idea. We will see if I get around to doing it. THANKS!
-
I agree w Mark. This is one of the few threads I love visiting, even though I usually know nothing of the movies/posters on display. It’s prob part of the appeal. Always learning.
You could also sell some of your posters, send them to Bruce, I think you have plenty of extras, then buy new ones and keep the thread going.
And yes, we noticed your absence. How could we not?

Awful to hear about your condition Monster. The joy your collection brings to you is obvious. Thierry's idea is wonderful! Maybe consider sending your posters to Bruce, and only with whatever you earn from there acquire what you fancy. A cyclical collection can be exciting!
Nothing but the best with whatever you decide.

Hi Thierry. Thank you for the note. I have sent a lot to Bruce. He probably still has a bunch of mine back-logged to sell I sent before I moved. But I still have a zillion more to wade through, pack up and send--I'm sure. If I get to them, that is.
We will see what happens down the road.
Thank you (and Holiday) for supplying this excellent site. I was ever so glad to have FINALLY stumbled on a place with people like me who LOVE movie posters!
CHEERS!

Ladeda--thank you also for the note. A cyclical collection does have a certain appeal to it. As I said to Thierry, we shall see... I am glad APF has members like you. Thank you again. CHEERS!

Sorry to hear of your health problems MAGG. Having no money for growing the collection must hurt but you have heaps and I like the sound of what others have suggested to sell some and get other ones. But if you are like me, its hard to part with any. I think I stopped collecting 6 years ago and haven't been able to part with any. Your collection thread has really kept the forum going with your passion for the posters and films. There is not much else going on. You really have a unique collection, which I see the huge effort in acquiring and so many ofus check it out because we like them. Maybe in continuing, as another idea, maybe start a thread of posters you see out there, but not buy, and talk about the poster and film as you've done with your purchased items. I don't see why we need to buy them to then be able to talk about them. We love seeing posters and seeing passion for posters and the stories behind them. I guess also you have moved house by now so that hard bit is hopefully out of the way for you. Take care and keep posting! cheers

Just another back up of what everyone else has been saying, really sorry for the things you are going through, but thanks so much for always taking the time to share with us here.
It's always so much fun to look though this thread and see the obvious enjoyment you get from everything.
-
I second everyone on this thread, very sorry to hear about your health challenges, hang in there. Thank you for all your posts on this forum, they're always so enjoyable and fun, as your enthusiasm and passion for collecting movie posters really shine through.
-
Who is gonna post trash and shockarama-alike now?
Stray strong MAGG! Life can be tough, take it slow and enjoy your sweet time.
That's it then?? Have a GIF!

So sorry to hear about the neuro-muscular disease getting worse and robbing you of your passions, Monster. I just wanted to echo what the others have said above, your posts always brighten up the forum and make it a nicer place to visit. I like Mark's idea about re-visiting older posters, it would be lovely if you continued posting and sharing your paper.
-
Hey Sean et al. It's been a while!
MAGG I smell a comeback.
We'll wait. Don't be too long. notworthy.gif

Oh my stars! Thank you for posting, Crazy Vick! I somehow MISSED several other people who posted here as well.
STEVE/50s: Thanks for the note. I have been thinking about posters. How could I not? I have slowly been working on another new aquisition post (!?!) (Here is a secret... The theater here gives posters away! Shhh!), but it will probably be MONTHS down the line before I have enough to warrant posting. Then, of course, I can frame what I have and hang them. I hope to get some lenticulars up behind lighted frames soon. (I bought some a long while back and am just now unpacking them...) I can always share that. We will see. Hope you are well, pal!
Crowzilla & Antoine1973: Thanks for the notes. It's nice to hear you enjoyed the thread.
BwanaDik: Nice note and send off. I was gonna steal the gif for future use...but, Ha! It won't let me. Oh well.
Tob: We shall see... Thanks for the nice note, too.
Crazy Vick: It is I who bow down to you. notworthy.gif You have an eclectic eye for things. You can take over for me, perhaps? Yes---I will definitely try to come back at some point---either with framed/hung stuff ...or my low-rent (i.e. FREE) aquisitions. We shall see... Stay tuned.
CHEERS, everyone!!!!

And...the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is B-A-C-K! It's been about three months since my last post --- which I totally thought was going to be my final post. I have been occupying my time with a new/old hobby. Years ago (mid-80s -early 2000s) I started doing something on my own that I later found out was a thing called "mail art". Earlier this spring, I "rediscovered" it. Although my hands are starting to be affected by my neuro-muscular disease and I am planning on re-retiring from the hobby very soon, I have been making envelopes to send to friends. Who cares, right? Why mention it here? Because, as a movie poster lover/addict all of my life, most of my envelopes are designed to look like mini, horizontal movie posters for fake (mostly horror) movies. "THE HOUSE ON CEMETERY HILL" and "SLUMBER PARTY EXORCISM" are just some of the titles. If I can't BUY the posters I want--I can always make up my own, right? If you want a peek at my envelopes, I've been blogging them. The most recent one is HERE: ( https://monsterago-go.blogspot.com/2022/07/mail-hold-ordered-mail-art-9.html ).
But back to REAL posters. I do have some today. I have the usual 10 and, believe it or not, NOT all of them suck. In fact, many I am quite pleased with. Take a gander if you please...
THE BAD GUYS:
I know what you are thinking. Why does he need this poster for some animated thing no one will probably remember in 5 years. This poster was FREE. Beggers (ME) can't be chosers. I'll take it.

BLACK PHONE (Teaser):
I am NO fan of the photo poster---but the days of art seem pretty much gone. However, I am looking forward to seeing this adaptation of Joe Hill's BLACK PHONE. I've only read a few of Mr. Hill's books thus far, but he seems like a worthy successor (along with his brother Owne King) to his father's, Stephen King, legacy. I just hope he doesn't inherit the crappy adaptation curse that his father seems to have. Ha! (And...this poster was totally inexpensive.)

HOLOCAUST 2000 (aka THE CHOSEN) (Thai):
I know I saw this flick (under it's US release title of THE CHOSEN), but don't remember much about it other than it was a Euro-flick and a knock-off of THE OMEN. Not that I needed this--but why not? It was cheap ($12). I need something to amuse me now and again.

X:
Ooooo I wanted to see this when it came out. But, of course, I didn't play anywhere near me for MILES. When I went to the little local theater here on the island to see DOWNTON ABBEY (Calm down. I was taking my mom! Jeepers!), they had a small box in the corner from which they were giving away posters. I scored THE BAD GUYS above from the box...and amazingly, THIS one. I guess it may have been booked at one time, but the booking was canceled or something. The movie never played there. (I was watching for it.) I've still yet to see it---but I am thrilled to have scored this poster--for FREE--for Ti West's slasher flick (is it?) set inside of the porno industry circa the 1970s (???). Sounds amazing.

X... THE UNKNOWN:
I only saw this film sometime last year for the first time. I had no idea it was part of the QUARTERMASS series. The one sheet went cheap--which is the only reason I now have it.

SAVAGE STREETS:
Linda Blair's career peaked with THE EXORCIST in 1973. Since that time, although I will still watch her in anything (even if her acting is sometimes god-awful), her career has been circling the drain, with movies getting worse and worse and worse (Or better, depending on your perspective--but the quality has certainly lessened). Following THE EXORCIST, she was still A-list for a while with BORN INNOCENT, AIRPORT '75, and SARAH T. - PORTRAIT OF AN TEENAGE ALCOHOLIC. Then EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC came...and it was a nosedive downhill from there. ROLLER BOOGIE, HELL NIGHT, THE LOVE BOAT, FANTASY ISLAND. In 1983, ten years after THE EXORCIST, she had a nude scene in RED HEAT. That was sort of the start of a brief B-Movie renaissance for Ms. Blair. SAVAGE STREETS, the next one to come out, is a gritty little exploitation gem that takes its cues from DEATH WISH. On her IMDB page, after THE EXORCIST, SAVAGE STREETS is shown as her most popular project. Trashy and tasteless, I am thrilled to have this.

THE FUNHOUSE:
I have the other, more common copy of THE FUNHOUSE one sheet (the closeup of the creepy mouth), but this clown version has been ellusive. and far more interesting, I think. Although I might already have one somewhere, I really don't think so. The movie was just okay...but I am glad to get this version of the poster. Hooray!

KINGDOM OF SPIDERS:
Beleve it or not, this is an amazingly hard poster to track down. I've been trying to get one for 40 years! Some have popped up over the years, but they were always torn from my grasp one way or another. This copy is not in the best shape ever, but the movie is a grindhouse classic. A less than perfect poster fits in with that grindhouse aesthetic. It will display fine.

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1982 re-release):
Oh my stars... I got this about the time I posted my quasi-farewell post. I'd had a bid on it then...and, although I didn't expect to win, it became mine. It was only afterwards that I actually paid attention and saw that it was a re-release. Waaaagh. I paid way too much for a re-release (Money I can NOT afford!) The Force was and was not with me that day, I guess. Into a drawer this goes... Hopefully it will be worth more than I paid for it eventually.

THE INVISIBLE MAN (French re-release):
I should NOT have purchased this. Bad, bad, BAD me. However, I am super happy to have it. I had the smaller size already, but have the 1-panel re-release posters for FRANKENSTEIN and BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, so I really wanted an INVISIBLE MAN the same size. It did make some money in my piddly bank account disappear (THE INVISIBLE MONEY?), though... EEEK!

I am glad you like them and actually put up a new post late last night (which will be my last mail art post for a while). You can check it out if you like HERE: ( https://monsterago-go.blogspot.com/2022/08/last-known-address-mail-art-10.html ). There are some spooky good ones this time.

Greetings! The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is b-a-c-k!!! This time, the posters aren't so great. It's a series of posters for B- (and/or Z-) movies! Yes, it's total trash-o-rama time, a bargain-basement bonanza. (In other words--CHEAP thrills, emphasis on the word "cheap".) O' the horror! Let's take a look...
TIME TRACKERS (Video):
I have no idea what this movie is--but judging from the art, it's some time travel comedy. Actually, I don't even remember where or why I got this. I can guess that it was CHEAP though. (I'm all about the cheap these days...)

WITCHCRAFT (Video):
A few months back, I scored (if you can call it that) a poster for, I think, WITCHCRAFT III. I have NEVER seen the WITCHCRAFT movies, all ( I believe) were direct-to-video erotic-horror cheapies. (I just looked it up. As of this writing, there are 16 in the series! WHY?) While it might be fun to track the actual flicks down and give them a watch some day (or NOT), when this first poster in the series came along--and was cheap--I thought why not?

INSPECTOR CLOUSEAU:
This movie is sort of an enigma. According to Wikipedia, it IS part of the PINK PANTHER canon, but neither Blakle Edwards, Peter Sellers, or Henri Mancini were involved. The film is largely unknown and is usually not included with PINK PANTHER sets (although it was in an "ultimate" set in 2008). I've never seen it--nor have I really need to see it. The poster came along and was (What's that magic word again?) cheap---so...

LONG JEANNE SILVER:
Oh my stars! I am not sure why I bought this poster. (The blue patch is NOT on the actual poster.) It's for a porn flick, but I've never seen it. I've just heard of it/about it. Long Jeanne Silver's uh..."stage name" is clearly inspired by the pirate in TREASURE ISLAND, Long John Silver. And what was Long John Silver noted for? His peg leg. From what I understand, the lead "actress" in this presentation has a natural peg leg, as in she has a stump at the end of her leg--no foot. And, oh my...I don't even want to think of what she must use it for in an adult movie. EEEW! Again, this may have been cheap, but I really do not know why I felt the need to buy it.

MR. HERCULES AGAINST KARATE:
Believe it or not, but this is a difficult poster to find. I got one years ago when I started tracking down all of the posters for various Hercules movies. Only that first copy--the only copy I'd ever seen up to that time--was in poor condition with scotch tape all over it. Blah! This one is in super shape and came to me from... Colombia! Never seen it. I'm sure it's trash. (And yes, the poster was cheap!)

THE TOUCH OF MELISSA (aka THE TOUCH OF SATAN):
I am not sure, but I belive this film was what I saw advertised on TV as a 6 year old in 1971. I remember that ad as my parents both told me to close my eyes so I wouldn't be scared. I did--but only for a moment. I was hooked on horror ever since. Unfortunately, this film is a total turd. I'm not sure about its origins. IMDB and Wikipedia both say it was released in 1971. IMDB lists THE TOUCH OF SATAN as the original title, whereas Wiki says this was the oiriginal name. I am inclinded to believe the Wiki version, as the poster with SATAN in the title talks about exorcism, which really didn't come into vogue until 1973 when THE EXORCIST came out and was a smash hit. Granted the novel of THE EXORCIST also came out in 1971, but only about two months before this flick. I think Wiki got the original title (MELISSA) correct. I knew what it was as soon as I saw it on eBay--and it was also cheap! But I sweated it out, waiting for it to get near the auction's close before bidding on it, thinking I had a rare find. I really hadn't seen many copies over the years...but then I realized eMovie has had a few copies lately in their lot offerings. Ha! There's no treasure here--just an obscure poster for that first fright flick that (at least it's promotional commercial) put horror on the map for me.

TORTURE DUNGEON (Pressbook):
Anyone who has been reading my poster posts knows that for YEARS (long before the Severin box set momentarily made it briefly cool and hip) that I have been a "fan" (if that is the right word--which it isn't, but I can't think of what the right word would be. A "fascinationist" perhaps?) of the works of Andy Milligan. I have copies of all of his horror theatrical one sheets (except for THE BODY BENEATH) and a few of his non-horror posters as well. But I have never had a pressbook for a Milligan film. I was super curious as to what sort of inane description and fake press a Milligan film would have---so this one came up--cheap--and I snagged it.

INFERNO (Spanish):
This is in Spanish, but I don't believe a one sheet in English exists for Dario Argento's INFERNO. I stumbled on this one--cheap--also in Colombia. (The dealer was there--NOT me.) Since there is no apparent English one sheet for the film, I thought why not get this one? Of course, it was only later that I realized that, gee, I already have one. Oh well...

DR. CALIGARI:
I LOVED this very avant-garde 80s flick when it came out in 1989. I rushed to see it opening day, only to be turned away because the film had not been delivered yet. Undeterred, I went back the next day and saw it. It's such an odd, colorful, bizarre film. It's obscure and people either love it or hate it, it seems. I do remember that this is the last movie I saw before I got glasses. I already have a copy or two of this poster. I just couldn't resist another (and it was cheap).

CAT-WOMEN OF THE MOON:
While definitely a B- (or Z-) movie (and in 3D to boot...although 3D is nowhere mentioned on the poster), unlike the other posters in today's post, this was decidedly NOT cheap. Ha! But how ludicrious! Women running around in leotards acting cat-like. Ha! And on the moon, no less. They don't get much more cheesy than this. I am ever so delighted to have this. It's not perfect, but that's okay. I wouldn't trade it for a "deadly cave of forbidden moon-gold!" Ha!

And there you have it--a B- (Z-?) rated post about B- (Z-) movie posters. Just like the no-budget filmmakers of yesteryear, they were living the dream despite an empty wallet. I'm still trying to live my poster dreams, too.

Hi Hicks77. Thank you for the visit. I'm glad you find my posts entertaining. But I give you the heebeejeebees? Uh, I am pretty sure that I got vaccinated for that, so it must be someone else giving you those. Hmm... Ha!
BTW--NOT that anyone will be interested or want a peek, but about a month ago I posted more of my faux horror movie poster-like envelopes. I THOUGHT I was going to be able to "retire" from that hobby...which appears to be the case at the end of the post. I was caught up on my envelope chores...but do you think that would last? Heck no! There's another post of my envelopes in the works. In the mean time, here is the most recent one. I especially like the last 4 or 5.
Take a look if you'd like or don't. The link is here:

I'm quite impressed with all your mail art in the link that you posted. Every single envelope is so detailed, this whole side hobby looks very time-consuming and is clearly a labor of love. It hope it provides great fun and much-needed distraction for you, so keep up the good work!

Antoine1973: Thank you for looking and for your kind words. I do enjoy it, but it is getting hard for me. My arms and hands hurt more than they did just a few weeks ago. BUT--I DO enjoy it and it IS a pleasant distraction. I'll do it as long as I can.

And...we are B-A-C-K!!! It's only taken 1 1/2 months, but here we are. I need to remind you that I am o' so poor these days. My offerings today may not be of much interest, but they are all I have to share at the moment. I'll tell you what. You've been a kind and loyal audience all of these years. Because the posters are not going to knock anyone out of the park (or even off a bleacher), tonight's poster show is on me. NO COST! Totally FREE! Deal? (The snack bar is a whole other story though. You are on your own there.) Okie dokie, let's get this show going...
AFTER MEIN KAMPF:
I'm not sure why I decided to get the poster, other than than it was cheap--and the listing was pulled by eBay. I got this from a dealer in South America. I'd been watching the listing (as well as others). It expired. It was relisted, but ended shortly there after. I guess eBay censored it? The seller didnt know why it happened, but he relisted it again-- but listed it in Spanish. I am no Nazi sympathist, and am appalled by the actions of the fascists of WWII. This poster is for a documentary about the atrocities the Nazis committed. I have never seen the film and don't intend to. But I had also never seen the poster before, either. Nazisploitation films (LOVE CAMP 7, SS GIRLS, ILSA: SHE-WOLF OF THE SS, etc) I can differentiate from the real horrors of the war. But censoring the poster for a documentary? Wow! I guess that, even though it has been nearly 80 years since WWII, it won't matter if it's been 80 or 800 years, the horrible stain on history that the atrocities of Hitler's regime have left will forever make it a sensitive and taboo subject for many. I don't know if finding this poster (which seems to be a rarity. I had never seen one before.) was a good, historical find or an abomination. Ultimately, it is just a piece of paper. I mean no harm or disrespect in sharing it.

HALLOWEEN ENDS (Advance):
I got this before the feeding frenzy drove the prices up briefly (BEFORE the final release poster was unveiled), but I must say... This has to be the WORST poster of the series. And really? The movie is HALLOWEEN ENDS, not ENDS. Hopefully there will be a better, final poster (I thought at the time. There is, but...).

HALLOWEEN ENDS (International Advance):
This is the same, uninspired poster, but this International version at least has the full title. That is the only reason I bought it.

HALLOWEEN ENDS (Australian Advance):
After the disappointment of the previous advance poster, seeing this one (which is still boring, but better) made me jump and grab it. When I saw this, I still saw NO INDICATION that there would be any further posters for HALLOWEEN ENDS in the US. (There wasn't any for HALLOWEEN KILLS--unlkess I wanted a bus shelter-size.) Note that the film came out the 13th down under instead of the 14th like it did here.

HALLOWEEN ENDS:
So, of course, there IS another poster. It figures. I spotted this the day AFTER buying the similar Australian poster. That also figures. Oh well. I actually accidentally bid against myself for this poster using two different accounts. Ha! OOPS! These will be cheaper in a few weeks/months. (I've seen the poster for the previous flick in the series, HALLOWEEN KILLS, for about $15 recently. There was a feeding frenzy to get one before the movie opened!) I've heard not-so-great things about the flick, but haven't seen it yet. I spent too much for the poster--but that's okay. I don't have to "worry" about getting one later.

PET SEMATARY (remake):
I didn't like the remake and, here we are a few years removed from it, it is already largely forgotten. But what I DID like about it was this final poster. (The advance was kind of nifty, too.) It wasn't all that expensive either.

TWO LOST WORLDS:
Yes, this poster has a few rough patches, but it in overall good shape...and was cheap. I have another copy already. I just picked this up because it is one I rarely see, I think I've seen the two I now own and maybe one other in all of the decades I've been collecting. I've never seen the flick. I'm guessing it must be awful or certainly it would have turned up somewhere over the years on TV or DVD. Or maybe I just missed it?

BARBARIAN:
Lucky me! Though I have not seen the film yet, I do want to. I've heard decent things about it. The poster's not much but...it was FREE. Hooray for that. I got it when seeing a 3D movie (listed further down) when I asked if they had any old posters. They gave me a box to dig through. In fact, I didn't notice it at the time, but there are actually TWO copies of it rolled together. Double bonus!

BEAST (Advance):
I actually saw this flick. It was good, but it reminded me of CUJO, set in Africa, with a killer lion instead of a Saint Bernard. Why did I get the poster? At the theater mentioned above, this was in the box. I snagged it. It was also, I later found out, double rolled with a second copy inside. Bonus Again! WHOO HOO!

THE INVITATION (Advance):
I did see this as well and am pleased to have scored the poster--also for free from that same theater. However, this one was only a single. That's okay. I'm poor. I'll happily, HAPPILY take it.

STRANGE WORLD (Advance A):
When I first saw this poster hanging in a theater, I was immediately drawn to it and knew I wanted a copy. From the creature with the curled-up tail, the color scheme, and just the whole bizarreness of the landscape, it looks interesting...and like a possible return to traditional animation? (Or will these be Pixar computer animation?) Bonus attraction for me is the faux vintage look given to the poster (fake fold lines on this rolled poster).The movie--at least what I can see of it here--looks interesting to me. We shall see...

DELUSION:
I have been after one of these for years! I've never seen the flick, but the artwork is clearly riffing (or ripping off) the C. Allan Gilbert 1892 painting ALL IS VANITY. That is why I was attracted to this poster. Apparently others are, too. I have tried and tried to get this over the years and am always outbid or it has gone far higher than I wanted to pay. This one was shockingly inexpensive and I was the only bidder. Ha! FINALLY!!

JAWS (2022 re-release):
I have an original JAWS already, but the original JAWS now in 3D!?! Hello???!!! Gimmick! Gotta get it...and gotta SEE it! I saw it at the last (only) showing of the last day it was playing. According to the usher, no one had been to see it since the weekend. WHAT!?! I realize it's 47 years old, but come on! It's a great classic and on the big screen! And in 3D!! Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it in IMAX, but the 3D added some great depth. The overall film looked great, too. And, man... there truly are some amazing shots in the flick. The best part? Before the movie, there was a preview for a special 3D version of George Romero's 1979 zombie epic, DAWN OF THE DEAD this Halloween. Yowza! I am so there...and looking for the poster already. Ha!

CRUEL JAWS:

And that's it for the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show this time. It sometimes amazes me that it still somehow continues to keep limping along. Up next--and hopefully fairly soon--is an "update" post. It won't be new posters. Instead it will be showing things I've recently framed, etc. I hope to have it up before Halloween.
Thank you for visiting.

CHEERS!

A nice selection, MAGG! Hard to beat freebies from the cinema too! Dawn of the Dead in 3D sounds good fun.
I am also looking forward to Barbarian after hearing good things. I watched Halloween Kills last week in preparation for seeing Halloween Ends...despite it being daft (particularly the last 10 mins), I still quite enjoyed it as it's Myers, Haddonfield and has reasonably inventive deaths/gore. Hopefully Halloween Ends is a bit better though.
Hope you're doing ok from a health perspective and thanks for continuing to share!

Barbarian is pretty great, one of those rare flicks that's definitely worth the hype (better to go into it not knowing much about the plot to keep the element of surprise intact though). Sadly I hear Halloween Ends is just as awful as Halloween Kills, so I haven't rushed to see it. I'm sure I will eventually stream it.

TOB! Hello! Thank you for the note. I know my post wasn't the best...but it is what it is.
I saw HALLOWEEN ENDS today and... well, the mighty HALLOWEEN franchaise went out with a whimper. I was sooooo DISAPPOINTED.

Hello, Antoine1973! Thank you for your note. I do look forward to seeing BARBARIAN...and what you've heard about HALLOWEEN KILLS is correct. (At least in my eyes. Such a waste for ALL involved--actors, technicians, audience, etc.)

My wife is big fan of Halloween and we had the same reaction.
Halloween (2018) was in my mind the best film in the franchise since the original. I was hoping Halloween Ends would be a satisfying ending and it just...wasn't.

Yes...such a disappointment. (But you know some how, some way they will bring the HALLOWEEN franchise back--either as a reboot or another sequel.) I'll be sucker enough to go see it, too. (Of course, the 80% drop in box office from week one to week two may have them rethinking the crap they served up this go-'round...) I'm kind of dreading the writer/director, David Gordon Green's, upcoming trilogy of sequels to THE EXORCIST after the disappointments with these HALLOWEEN sequels (I thought HALLOWEEN KILLS was pretty bad, but ENDS was just jaw-droppingly bad.)

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 lack of 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 staring incredulously at this first title and asking yourself, What? Is he kidding? Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile? WTF? I do understand the confusion and bewilderment. Let me just back up a bit and remind you of my life currently. I am very poor now. This was FREE. I guess I don't need to post every free thing I get from now on (especially if it is crap like this), but we will save that lesson learned for next time.

DON'T WORRY DARLING (Adv):
More free poster goodness. Well, this poster isn't much to look at. The movie was at least very interesting (although flawed). And when I snagged this poster, I later found that there was a second copy of it in the roll. Bonus!

Yet another freebie. This teaser is a tad more interesting than the advance above. But I still have questions about the flick.

PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE (British video poster):
I have no idea what I was thinking when I bought this. Just shake your head and walk away...

KING KUNG FU:
Believe it or not, by the time I stumbled on this poster, I had heard of KING KUNG FU. The seller had it listed as KING KONG FU...easy mistake (or perhaps he was trying to trick someone into buying this turd?) I bought it--just because I'm a KONG fan, and this 1976 release was made to obviously cash in on the Dino De Laurentiis remake that year. But--it looks BAD. (The trailer is HERE: https://youtu.be/X3_MMO4730Q ) It looks like a flick that went from here to obscurity...except in my poster collection.

VIOLENT NIGHT:
I don't know what this flick is? A crime movie? Horror? A knock off on SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT? I have no idea---but saw the poster and snatched it up just in case it becomes a hit (or a cult hit). His candy cane is on fire? What???

JENNIE, WIFE/CHILD:
Hot dang! I've been kind of after one of these for years. Poor white trash exploitation fun...even though I've never seen this particular movie. I'll bet it is a hoot.

Q:
A while back I got a poster for this film under the alternate title of THE WINGED SERPENT with completely different art. This is the more common title (Q) and art--at least they are the ones I am most familiar with. I saw this for sale---why not?
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB4Zkhn43hpI40dQsT2ac2j9uwokwFQVsRPjl1VS6Ln9ou6H6E4YdHZQeQAZ8Fz92MNIboixkcjFLN6YPxmdBzae7ZQCnYunx1ed1DKtDHsuWZ-IyHDPscHGD97nWoHPpjLWfeXL3lyqDxFZ0t5eZa1eT6Cw92ykJgtC0tqwjHE3J3pQlzHP7D8OCR/w480-h640/Q%20one%20sheet.jpg)
A BOY AND HIS DOG:
I've wanted one of these posters for ages. I remember seeing this playing all of the time when we first got cable back in the late 70s or early 80s. It's about a "boy" (i.e. young man, Don Johnson) and his dog (that speaks telepathically). I don't remember much about it, but I did like it. Getting this poster has proven difficult, as well. The more common poster, the re-release with a smiling nuclear explosion mushroom cloud, is dull. I wanted this original release. Also note that the film takes place in 2024...just a tad over a year away from now.

THE DEADLY ORGAN:
This is my prize this time around! Zowie! Just look at this day-glo wildness! If I understand correctly, this movie hails from Argentina and was also released as FEAST OF FLESH. I actually have a novelization of this flick! REALLY! "Tuned in and turned on..." and framed and waiting to go up on the wall.

I am still working on a special UPDATE post I had hoped to get done by now--and may get done before the end of the year--or not. I also have prepared my annual post of my favorite Top 10 poster purchases of the past year---but I'll save that and get it posted later.
Yep, 2022 is just about over. Thank you for continuing to join me this year and keeping the Poster Show alive. I hope your holidays sparkle and are everything you want them to be. Here's to a happy, healthy, and poster-rich new year!
CHEERS!

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.

CHEERS!
Real-life poster shopping? That must be interesting; reminds me of the days I went to record shows and record shops. Other than the occasional freebie at a theater, I thought the only kind of poster acquiring is online. :P
That design for Don't Worry Darling is neat, with the water surface(?) at the top and all. I'll have to check out the movie, as well as Violent Night - gotta love the alternate Christmas flicks.
cheers
-
You obviously aren't as addicted to poster shopping as I am (or was). Yes--real-life poster shopping. I'd haunt certain antique stores that occasionally had them, comic book stores, garage sales/estate sales, etc. That is far too much effort for me now in my current physical state, even combined with other chores. Now, it's simply score at the theater or online. I have only gone out ONCE to shop in the real world since my move. I did spy a VARAN the Unbelievable on linen...but I'm NOT a fan of linen and the colors were all wrongs (as if it faded weirdly or was repainted somehow). PASS.
I do want to see VIOLENT NIGHT. DON'T WORRY DARLING was rather interesting--yet flawed. I did like it though.
-
Yeah that sounds cool with the antique shops, etc. I've walked past a few poster shops when traveling, but never thought about buying any that way - it'd be like finding a needle in a haystack for me.
Good to see you're staying strong and all. Always good to see your thread here.

And I always appreciate your visiting. THANK YOU for stopping by. Cheers and happy holidays!

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.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFSjNGlvLwqphlo75F9JHwkx-CbNE1zJ37NsuNPCsQc7p7wiE_ugQhXVQgdHdYvwRvFaxRyti3alvGgMmr9gdSGuwPdYK2sAoEEUGtzLZBQPPY8T9Js5kRAHtcFYSI4Mmc80xVASA3WEs5AJJJPiN_ZZLEmhm_LnRHU5quhwjH87_5O3OEmiQ3G6TO/w432-h640/Black%20Adam.jpg)
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 rolled poster, was intrigued, and snagged it.

STRANGE WORLD (Advance):
I bought one of these posters awhile back. I found the art and the world creative and imaginative. I dug the pulp lettering of the title and the faux fold lines, trying to make it look rather grindhouse (for an animated movie). But if I already bought one, why get another copy (actually TWO more copies)? Because, of course, it was FREE! Thank you Oak Harbor Cinemas!

I'VE LIVED BEFORE:
As I have done too many times in the past--and stupidly did again (when I can NOT afford anything at all), I bid on a bunch of posters for an auction, walked away expecting to get none...and end up winning things I did not need. Case in point--this one. I already have a copy and this was from Heritage. WOW! It had been so long since I'd purchased from them. I had forgotten how much all of their fees totaled. YIKES! My wallet died again...
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWzXa-WbsCjRYYBJRA21herg_PCxSITL7W6HmKh3PcoLVUf7Xj0__mq_oFbD8Gy_IThyj1-DqYA-V1PGz1idF5HDUDq_cejuR9fMZC5Cd6yFL1TSBuI7tl2KsYNGes40uSkNaF575FteMf4qEmTFXdUGVEHiBCdx3hbXjVTITR-kmefJwDw304Qzmc/w430-h640/I've%20Lived%20Before%20bb.jpg)
RABID:
Same exact story as above (the I'VE LIVED BEFORE poster). Same auction house, too. OUCH.
GHOST STORY/CIRCLE OF FEAR (Screen-worn jacket):
Okay...you have probably NEVER heard of this one season TV horror anthology from the 1972-73 TV season. Aside from it being a failed wannabe TWILIGHT ZONE/NIGHT GALLERY, why the interest in it? Well, for starters, if was produced by one of my all-time fave B-movie icons, gimmick king William Castle. The jacket was worn by the series narrator Sebastian Cabot, who was better known for playing Mr. French, the gentleman's gentleman (i.e. "butler") on Family Affair back in the 60s. A little more than midway thru the season, Cabot's character was axed and the title changed from GHOST STORY to CIRCLE OF FEAR....where it went to die after only 8 more episodes. It may NOT be the most exciting costume piece ever--but I'll be excited about it. I have a dvd of GHOST STORY/CIRCLE OF FEAR somewhere (unless I stupidly sold it off before my move.) I'm thrilled to own this.

WEREWOLF BY NIGHT:
I'm not sure what this is. It's a movie poster--but not for a movie theater. instead, it is for Disney+. I know nothing of this movie. (Series?) But, it's a werewolf flick, so why not? It wasn't that expensive. I wonder if it is based on the old comic book of the same name? It's from Marvel, so maybe...

BLOOD & FLESH: THE REEL LIFE & GHASTLY DEATH OF AL ADAMSON:
To me (and probably NO ONE ELSE), this is a tremendous find. Measuring only 18 x 23 1/2 inches, this is a poster promoting the "world premiere" (and probably ONLY theatrical showing) of a documentary made for Severin, the home media company that put out an Al Adamson boxed set a year or so ago. I didn't get the boxed set (I love "bad movies", but I've seen a LOT of Adamson's stuff already and didn't need to spend big bucks to suffer through them again...), but I DID buy/watch this stand alone (well, it was paired with Adamson's THE FEMALE BUNCH) DVD (or was it Blu-Ray?) when it came out. Adamson made a lot of fun and crazy crap (and it was crap)--and he also did meet with a horrific end. I'm thrilled to have this modern relic. (DRACULA VS FRANKENSTEIN, the second feature listed on the poster, is probably Adamson's best known movie...and it's craptastic.)

ARMY OF THE DEAD:
I am not quite sure what this is. Is it a ,movie poster or an ad for Netflix? The poster states it played theatrically. Is that where I saw it? I'm not sure--but I'm dang glad to have the poster.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdqaO0746KNCjIwExMfg1v0POJgvKj8sJAWn14Gz30awFKUuL1k842Np4OVVP32fHqiPH04RVuqLQJwnpvzAr_jhLztWHKMi1-XG1aUAo29tE_-mMPbyeYkNGrz_v-9Or9BUKBuASH2MdhLNIZWCZ_FjwNd_cCpvR_lzO90nZAvuGrHJMTzKJ6ue8b/w432-h640/Army%20of%20the%20Dead.jpg)

Dude, seriously?
With all due respect, you need to stop whatever you're doing right now and watch it. Not only will it be nominated for an Academy Award for best picture, along with its directors, but it is a great flick. Also, Ke Huy Quan, from the Goonies and Temple of Doom? Best supporting actor this year. Hands down.
Great posters, btw. And watch the movie.

THIERRY: Really?? The poster with the googly eyes is a great film? I do live in a rather isolated place and I don't watch TV. Our little theater gets posters and shows previews for things that never show up (like for X, which I scored a few months back, and the BROS thing, and this flick).
Was it a big hit? Wow, I really do live in a culture void these days. I'll seek it out. Thanks for letting me know.
Cheers!

Yes, it made $70 million US which is HUGE for a movie like this. A24's biggest hit to date. Some could argue it was a bigger "wow" hit than Top Gun: Maverick" was. Arguably the biggest success story of 2022.

Great posters and comments as always MAGG.
Thierry - can you clarify something please regarding your table? If the first two films have such a massive "predict win" count do you know why the odds to win for these two are so close to those for the 3rd and 4th films?
Here, best picture predictions.

marklawd: Hi there and thanks for visiting.
Thierry: I also have a question about the table you posted. Where is it from? What was the source? Who are the predictors? That was a fascinating (and illuminating) thing to see. Are there similar charts for the other categories? Thanks!
-
Predictions are predictions. There is nothing scientific about it, but I've been following this list for years now and it is pretty damn accurate.

THIERRY: Merci.

T--I must REALLY be under a rock. Four of the eight films in your posted list I hadn't heard of before. THANKS!
I collect posters for all the Golden Globes, Oscars and BAFTAs best pictures nominees. I'm sure you've seen my Golden Globes thread. Sometimes a movie is an early front runner and then drops. Bardo by Iñárritu is a good example. Just based on its director, that movie was on every lists early on. Then it dropped for being too esoteric. I had to watch it so I could collect its posters (I don't collect if I haven't seen a title). So I've pretty much seen everything in contention so I could own the posters. Logic? No, but it works for me.

T: I totally get it. I don't do that, exactly. i buy posters from movies I've seen and like---but also from those I haven't seen, but dig the poster. And, if I buy the poster for a film i haven't seen, i usually try to track it down and see it---which is exactly what the posters are designed to do...make you see the film.
Your collection is unparalleled---so obviously the amount of films you've seen is quite extensive. CHEERS!

Hi Monster!
I was pleasantly surprised to see you have a jacket that Sebastian Cabot wore on screen. Man, those memories of Family Affair and good ole Mr. French take me back. Have you tried the jacket on? How's the fit? Okie
-
Hi Okie!
I was pleasantly surprised to see YOU here! How are you? The jacket isn't from FAMILY AFFAIR, but from CIRCLE OF FEAR/GHOST STORY. But it was worn by Sebastian Cabot---and he will forever be remembered best as Mr. French, so it is almost as if it were from FAMILY AFFAIR. Have I tried it on? No. I bought but do not actually have it yet. It's being safely held by the good people at eMovieposter... BUT--I should have it sent my way. I can't afford anything. I don't know what I am expecting to add to it for shipping.
A pleasure to see you, good sir!
CHEERS!

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:
Something else I did NOT need. Or maybe I did? I just now looked this flick up as I was starting to write about the poster. Oh my stars! This sounds like a bad movie (about a returning Vietnam vet, who comes home to find the streets of his neighborhood like a war zone. He recruits some of his Vietnam vet buddies to help and it truly becomes war in the streets) I was told to seek out…but never did. Hmm. Maybe this was a lucky purchase after all? (I’m NOT holding my breath…)

THE MANIAC:
Another idiotic encounter with a certain auction house... This is a poster for the old Hammer non-period, non-gothic horror flick about a murderer, starring THE SEVENTH VOYAGE OF SINBAD’s Kerwin Matthews. It has been eclipsed and forgotten more or less in favor of Hammer’s more popular Dracula, Frankenstein, and Mummy flicks. I already had a copy of this. Perhaps I can resell it down the line to help recoup some of the $88 (total--after buyer's premium, shipping, etc.) I spent on the two lots I did win. But oh...the quality of this poster. Very good minus? Uh...more like minus, minus, minus! Blah.

THE BROTHERHOOD OF SATAN:
I already have a copy of this as well. (And somewhere I have a packet of “Satan Seeds”, given out to promote this movie…) As I recall, this wasn’t a bad movie. It features Strother Martin and L.Q. Jones star along with a very young Geri (“Fake Jan” from the BRADY BUNCH VARIETY HOUR) Reischl in the child lead.

HOT SKIN:
I already had one of these. WHY get another? UGH! I’m a sucker for gimmicks, especially 3D…(and this is apparently in 3D AND “SeXurrounD”…whatever that might be. A knock-off of “Sensurround”, no doubt.) Vintage porn stars Serena, John Holmes, and the “Disco Dolls” (!?!) star! Ha!

KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS:
After YEARS of trying to score a copy of this, I got one a month or so back. Whoo hoo! And then, BOOM! This one shows up fairly cheap. Snag. What weird luck. I still dig the poster and am super happy to have one (now two)!!

PINK FLAMINGOS (Pink Phlegm-Ingo Barf Bag):
When I saw this item up for sale, I slapped down on the Buy It Now button and was super happy. I NEVER thought I’d score one of these. And then I paused… The bag certainly looks like it could be from the early 70s, but as I researched it (after my hasty, must-have-it-before-anyone-else snags-it purchase), I saw that (as far as I could tell) all of those bags were printed in pink lettering—not black. I also learned that Criterion, when it re-released PINK FLAMINGOS on Blu-ray, included a reprint of the bag (also in pink ink). So WHERE did my black-printed bag come from? Is it real or a cheap copy?Perhaps the ink faded due to light or some other type of damage? Dang it all! I hope I wasn’t ripped off (AGAIN). (I’m sure I was though… GRR!) But...it really DOES look old. Hmm.

EVIL DEAD RISE (Advance):
A new EVIL DEAD movie that is an actual sequel (and not a remake) to the originals? Yes, please! I have the posters for the other films (even the remake), so I needed this as well. And...I'll need to get another copy as the cheapo tube this was shipped in was broken, so there are now these odd tracks/wrinkles down one side of the poster. ARGH!!!!!! Dammit all!

SLAUGHTER HIGH (video poster):
I feel super lucky to have scored this one (although it was also damaged in shipping. GRRRRR!). Yes, this is a video release poster for this title. However, it is way better than the theatrical release poster (a silly skeleton bursting through a bright yellow background. Snore.)--which I actually might already have as well. I have the vaguest memory of this movie (from the VHS days). Doesn't it take place at a class reunion of sorts (with only a handful of students showing up) only to be picked off one by one by a slasher? (Not to be confused with THE REDEEMER aka CLASS REUNION MASSACRE.)

RENFIELD (Advance):
I'm not sure if I will see this movie or not. It looks like a comedic take on FRACULA but told through Renfield's perspective. While that could be fun, seeing Nicholas Cage portray Dracula has me the most interested. I have a feeling it will...suck. The poster was cheap. Depending on how the film is received, it will either go up in value or get cheaper. (I'm guessing the prices will drop as I already bought one. Whoopie. That would be par for the course.

And that's it--stuff I didn't need, poor quality stuff, possibly something bootlegged, and stuff damaged in the mails. Disappointment and frustration. I also got new that my poster blog has been CENSORED and deemed inapptptiate on one page. I don't get it/. Sure there are some posters for adult films--but NOTHINMG is shown. Ot maybe I'm missing something? That post is HERE. What did I do? Can you figure out what I am being punished for? I can't. Hmm... Anyway, we are done...and here is the show stopping finale to close the curtain with.

Golly, thanks for posting your note. Ugh...those bids...and the poster quality? You can't tell but the seams are split all over the place on THE MANIAC and BROTHERHOOD OF SATAN. Such shoddy quality. I hope I finally learned my lesson and STAY AWAY froma certain auction house... I am so over this post though...so filled with frustration and disappointment. Let's go on to the NEXT already. (I've already started it. Yippie!) Cheers!
-
Sorry you had such awful luck with the auctions. I think we've all been there so we know how you feel! Hopefully you are able to make some of that money back if you decide to resell The Maniac!
Nice find with Slaughter High! You've got the plot right - it had some pretty gruesome kills so it stuck with me after watching it. (Plus the awesome theme song by the composer who did the Friday The 13th music!)
I didn't even know there was a theatrical poster for it - but you're right about how awful it looks. I've been wanting one myself for a while but could never find one for a price I'm willing to pay. Maybe someday.

Hi Heather! Thanks for visiting the page and leaving a note. Good luck with your SLAUGHTER HIGH search. I know what you mean about prices for them. I, too, had been searching for many years for one. I stumbled on this one and got it for a decent price. Sometimes you just luck out. Eventually you will score one, I am sure. BUT--I want to thank you mostly for resurging an interest in seeing the flick again. Oooo I really do not remember much--and I obviously need a revisit based on what you said. THANK YOU!

OKIE!!! I have something for you---if I ever get off my butt and get it mailed. It may not be to your liking, but..well, you'll understand when/if I ever get it to you.
PS I remember the No Prize. Ha! Thank you for the "nomination". Cheers!

Just knowing you're still out there, Monster, is a treasure! Okie

Back at ya, sir! CHEERS

Dude, seriously?
With all due respect, you need to stop whatever you're doing right now and watch it. Not only will it be nominated for an Academy Award for best picture, along with its directors, but it is a great flick. Also, Ke Huy Quan, from the Goonies and Temple of Doom? Best supporting actor this year. Hands down.
Great posters, btw. And watch the movie.

So? Have you heard of this movie now?

If you survived my last god-awful post and came back for more (Glutton for punishment?), fear not. (Well...) While my (ultra l-o-w) budget does not allow me to buy anything stellar or "OMG-I've-wanted-that-for-so-long" incredible, but I got a few new things anyway. Some are eh...whatever, some are repeats, and some I am glad to have! Well...don't let me build up your hopes. (There are a fair number of turds here. Truly.) Get your ticket (They're CHEAP!), grab a chair, sit back and let's get this episode of the poster show going. Last chance to duck out...the lights are dimming. Here we go-go...
MAGIC MIKE'S LAST DANCE:
This was a free one from the box of giveaway posters at my local theater. I'll gladly take it, but... Snore. NEXT.

SCANNERS 2 - THE NEW ORDER (Video):
I don't remember exactly if the first sequel to SCANNERS ever got a theatrical release or not. I don't believe it did. I DO have the one sheet for the original film. I came across this--and it was cheap--and thought, why not? I saw the flick back in the VHS days, but don't remember much about it. It was my impression though that it was pretty much a carbon copy of the first flick. Was it? Hmm. The poster is dull -- but as a bonus, it lists the video releasing company, Media, which put out a lot of great stuff back in the day (like the original HALLOWEEN)! Cheap poster--cheap thrills.

SCANNERS-THE SHOWDOWN (Video):
I'm not sure exactly how many SCANNERS sequels and spin-offs there were, Is SCANNERS-THE SHOWDOWN part 3 or did it come further down the road? I know there was also SCANNER COP (1 & 2). I don't think I caught any of the SCANNERS sequels beyond Part 2, though. This poster was also a cheap-o. I thought why not? But LAME poster.

PHANTOM OF THE MALL--ERIC'S REVENGE (Video):
This is a video poster. I apparently never saw this. It was only after buying this (and looked up the title) that I realized this was not just another retitling of CHOPPING MALL (aka KILLBOTS) as I had somehow though. (I'd seen CHOPPING MALL decades ago on VHS--and have the theatrical one sheet.) They're completely different movies. (No wonder this was so cheap. Ha!) The only thing they have in common is that thwy were both filmed at the same mall. I didn't remember a phantom-like guy in CHOPPING MALL, but then I don't remember CHOPPING MALL all that well (clearly). Oh well...

BRAIN DEAD (Video):
A movie starring Bill Pullman, Bill Paxton, Bud Cort, and George Kennedy--and produced by Julie (Mrs. Roger) Corman? How did I miss this curiousity? This is another video poster. Did this play theatrically?

BEVERLY HILLS BODY SNATCHERS (Video):
This was cheap--and I'd never heard of it. It's a video poster as well--but did it ever have a theatrical release? With this poster--and the two above it (all purchased at the same time)--I realized that I was buying posters--not because I "need" or particularly "like" them, but because I was looking for things to fill up a post. Sorry. (I really need to STOP doing crap like that. Some of the free ones from the theater are bad enough...)

THE WILD PARTY:
I came across this while "shopping." It was cheap and it features the recently deceased 60 sex symbol Raquel Welch. In honor of Raquel, I decided to buy it...only to discover I already had a copy. Oops! (And I've never even seen the movie. Ha!) A while back, I was trying to track down all of the posters for all of her flicks. I have ONE MILLION YEARS B.C., FANTASTIC VOYAGE, FATHOM, and a few others. I'd really also love to score a MYRA BRECKINRIDGE and a KANSAS CITY BOMBER, but... She may have been in her 80s when she died, but it broke my heart to lose another legend.

OLD DRACULA:
Like THE WILD PARTY, I already have a copy of OLD DRACULA. Unlike WILD PARTY, I didn't buy it by mistake thinking I needed one. Hello? I have a copy hanging on my bedroom wall. No...I just really like the poster. It was cheap. Now I have a spare. I saw this flick when I was a kid in the 70s. (It was on a double bill with FOOD OF THE GODS.) I liked it then, although it didn't seem to hold up (in my opinion) years later when I saw it again. Held up or not, I have always loved the poster (especially the skeleton wearing cat-eye glasses in the coffin). The attempt to make it seem like a sequel to YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN cheapens it a bit, but what the heck? It's fun.

Freebie boster from the theater. I'm not a superhero movie guy...so I never saw this--or the first one. But hey--I'll take the poster. It might be worth something someday...

VIOLENT NIGHT:
I got one of these awhile back. Why bother getting another (especially when I still have NOT seen it yet)? Because it was FREE at the theater. In fact, I picked up two copies! This is one of the many flicks my little small-town theater previewed, got posters for...and yet NEVER played. ARGH!!!!

PEARL (style A):
I lucked onto a free copy of the poster for X at my local theater. I was not as fortunate with the poster for the prequel, PEARL, which I had to buy. But I was thrilled to find one reasonably-ish priced. I do like how, on this A-style of the poster, they clue you in that this is part of the X series (the big X behind her and the "X-traordinary Origin Story" blurb). There's an ax and some blood splatters...what more do you need?

PEARL (Style B):
I came across this B-style (which I didn't know existed) while shopping. Ooooo I like it, too. The X poster and the PEARL posters have me really interested in the series---which I have NOT seen yet. (Shocker, huh?) I'm even looking forward to the next one, MAXXXINE, based on the positive word-of-mouth these two flicks have generated on their own. Whoo hoo!

Thanks for visiting.

Nice haul, Monster_A_GoGo. I didn't realise Scanners had sequels, I'm curious to watch now.
I haven't seen Pearl yet, but I enjoyed X - it's fun in a schlocky exploitation sort of way.
-
Monster, X and Pearl are quite different tonally (the former is a throwback to the grindhouse vibe of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Eaten Alive, while the latter has a Wizard of Oz vibrant Technicolor feel to it), but both are interesting and fun, so you should try to catch them if you can. Mia Goth's performance in each of them is rather impressive.
-
TOB: Yes--there ARE direct-to-video SCANNERS sequels. As I said, i think I saw the first one--and think i was very underwhelmed. Good luck if you venture down that path. (Are they even available anywhere these days?) Thank you for visiting the thread. CHEERS!
ANTOINE1973: Hi there. I appreciate your input on the X/PEARL flicks. i have X---just haven't seen it yet. ARGH! How odd they sound so different--but that's a good thing. Why not mix it up instead of just rehashing things like most sequels/prequels do? Thank you for stopping by. Always a pleasure. Cheers!

Don’t forget about Scanner Cop 1&2 as well.

Welcome back! (So soon?) It's time for another edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! There are 11 (instead of the usual 10) posters in this post. Why? Well, the bulk of this post came from a bulk lot. NO--I am NOT sharing every single poster in the lot. Some I had already. Others I have zero interest in. Most I am choosing to post have some sort of minor (VERY minor) interest to me. Since I am posting 9 posters (out of the 22 in the lot) and 2 others to share---it just seemed pointless to hold back on one.
Blah...blah...blah. Here we go:
VALLEY OF THE DOLLS:
I already have a copy of this poster, but it was one of the TWO posters I was after with this lot. VALLEY OF THE DOLLS is one of my favorite all-time movies---because it is so BAD! I love it! The copy I scored years ago isn't in the best condition (and cost nearly as much as this whole batch lot did). This one seemed to be an upgrade (hopefully)--and is the ONLY poster I've shared in the past on this post. I guess the younger crowd--the ones buying posters today--doesn't appreciate cinematic cheese from the 60s these days. Oh well. Their loss is my gain.

TEENAGE PONY GIRLS:
TEENAGE PONY GIRLS? Ha! What the hell? Hilarious title (and bad art)--too funny. It is an unexpected little nugget in this bulk lot. I am guessing it's for a porn flick--but I think it's pretty laughable looking.

SPRING FEVER:
This isn't anything I would have sought out on its own--and I've never seen the flick. I DO remember the art though back in the VHS days. I was always curious about it. It always seemed to stare back at me from the video shelves. I always thought it must be a teen comedy along the lines of PORKY'S or SPRING BREAK (albeit rated PG). It was just a lucky addition to the lot. Nothing special.

GOIN' ALL THE WAY:
I included this poster because I remember when the movie came out. I was 15 or 16...and it was the kind of movie that made you really wish you had a car (I didn't get my first until I was about 17 1/2) and were old enough to get into R-rated movies. (Of course, I still somehow managed to get myself into plenty of R-rated horror movies before I was 17. Hmm...) At the same time, I recall the ads for this made the move seem like it was totally low budget and probably pretty crappy. Still... I'd have gone.

MALIBU HIGH:
Like GOIN' ALL THE WAY above, I also remember when this came out. It was 1979 and I was all of 14. Didn't ever see it. But, man... It played the drive in circuit where I lived for seemingly YEARS!

SEX AND THE OFFICE GIRL:
Never heard of this one--which looks like it was an X-er ("No one under 18 allowed"), but the artwork keeps catching my eye. I don't know if I like it --or if it is just really bad. Still, something about it makes me keep looking at it. Hmm. It also looks unfinished. The closer couple are more detailed. The ones further back look more like sketches just beginning to be filled out. Is that on purpose or did the artist just run out of time and release it that way to add a bit of an artistic touch to it? (Like the crowd going to see this would care about artistic touches on the posters. Ha!)

THE HOT BOX:
It wasn't until I was putting this post together that I realized I didn't already have a copy of this poster. WHAT!?! I looked it up on my blog... It's not there. Okay then, this bulk lot rectified that. THE HOT BOX is more wonderful early 70s women-in-prison, exploitation sleaze from Roger Corman's New World Pictures and director Jonathan Demme! (Yes--THAT Jonathan Demme!) How did I NOT have this already?

WOMEN IN CAGES:
Speaking of women in prison exploitation movies...how did I also NOT have the one sheet for 1971's WOMEN IN CAGES??? This is a total grindhouse shocker bonanza starring the legendary Pam Grier.

SWEET SUGAR:
And back to women in prison movies again--this (along with VALLEY OF THE DOLLS) is the other poster in the bulk lot that I really wanted. Yes, the poster is rather blah. But the movie...zowie! I watched this so often back in the VHS days. I LOVED it. Phyllis Davis ("Aunt Susan" in BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS) stars. Of course, I saw this in later years and it didn't quite hold up to what I remembered as a teen. Oh well... Isn't that always the way?

HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER (Video):
This is the only non-bulk lot poster in the batch! AND it is just a video poster. But--WOW! Finally something on this great--and very disturbing flick! (Siskel & Ebert gave it "Two thumbs up!") The original release poster artwork (all wild and crazed looking) is fantastic--and impossible to get a copy of. The re-release poster (also hard to find, but not as rare) uses the image below. I'll gladly take this VHS poster...until I can score one of the other two. This really was a good movie. (The sequel, though...should be avoided.)

A FACE IN THE FOG:
I had never heard of this movie before coming across it in one of eMovie's bulk lot auctions. While it is not the most exciting poster ever, the old style font really sold it to me. Granted, the poster has some issues. However, as a remnant of 1936, I can't expect it to be mint. This movie seems to have a lot of great genre elements in it, but is apparently a murder mystery at its core. From what I've since read about it, there is a killer hunchback (!) known as The Fiend who is running around and offing (with frozen bullets!?!) members of a theater group who are working on a play called "Satan's Bride." The rest of the synopsis sounds trite and cheesy -- typical 1930s low-budget melodrama. But I am thrilled with the poster. I spent way too much money (way, WAY too much for me) on this bulk lot--and it was all to get this ONE poster. (YES, this is from a separate bulk lot of 19 posters...and the ONLY one I am sharing.)

Oh! Before I sign off, I keep forgetting to share my daux movie poster envelopes that I've been making. I have shared some in the past, but have neglected continuing that practice. I'll include the most recent five. Some of the posts have vintage ones I had done 30 years ago or so. Others have holiday-themed horror ones. Many include things people have sent me. Take a look or don't. But here's an example:

CHEERS!
Very nice!
My wife is very much into collage and postcrossing. She has been doing collages for now over 10 years; she did crossposting (sending custom enveloppes/postcards to stranger) but got somehow tired of it as quality of received postcard was somehow disappointing. She still does collages, she is very much into scrapbooking, that is filling a book with collage, paint, drawings and so many other artistic things. She keeps many things in her drawers, from candy wrapping papers to pieces of fabrics.
She showed me some custom enveloped las week and I actually mentioned you, saying you were doing great vintage horror envelopes.
We laughed because horror and halloween stuff is somehow forbidden in my theocratic country, we were wondering if such envelopes would come to us or be confiscated to be burned in a pit of lava behind the gates of hell :) :) This said, if you are looking for a recipient that will cherish your envelope, I can send my address. I know she would be very surprised and quite happy to receive such beautiful stuff.

Sharon Tate was so beautiful. She was art in human form.
The Valley of the Dolls poster is so weird with the guy looking like he is trying to breathe into Sharon's doll trachea.

Ha!! As SOON as I heard that it won tonight, YOU were the first person I thought of! REALLY! Cheers!
You know, I was thinking as I was going through your last couple batches of posters of how amazing it is that you can find so many posters of movies I have never heard of. So you might have not heard of Everything Everywhere All at Once, but man, you have a knack for finding obscure stuff (at least to me) and It's so unique and fun to see. Keep 'em coming!

To be honest, I never really think about what I have because I have it already. Like who cares, right? What’s interesting to me is what I don’t have, and I don’t have most of your gear.

You only collect posters of films you've seen. I think that's the issue. You like classy stuff. I prefer oddball horror and trash. And there you are. However, it is good to know that you at least enjoy an occasional stroll through the grindhouse gutters with my posters. I hope you'll enjoy the next one. (It has a ways to go. I only have 6 new acquisitions at the moment and need at least 4 more before I post.) It is shaping up to be a fairly decent stroll through B-movie wonderland. Fingers crossed i don't end up buying a bunch of crap before its ready. CHEERS!

Welcome back! You are just in time for the next edition of THE SHOCK-O-RAMA POSTER SHOW! As you start to scroll through, you may be thinking "Blah! This is crap." True. True. I do buy crap sometimes (i.e. often), but I also buy a few jewels now and again. Just be patient and keep scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. As usual, I keep the best stuff for last.
But, what am I blabbering on? Let's get started!
Roll 'em:
BORA BORA: This is a nothing poster, really. I picked it up inexpensively to potentially use in my future home tiki bar (which is actually happening. The electrician arrived on May 3. The handyman who'll hopefully do the build out will be here on the 12th. Whoo hoo! And yes, it is all being done on the super cheap. Fingers crossed the crap I've saved for years will finally come together as I've planned!). Now that I have the poster, I think I already have MORE than enough beach/jungle/Polynesean/island/ etc. posters for the space, the stairs leading down to it and the space just outside of it. Oh well. As I said, this was inexpensive.

NEFARIOUS: I had no idea what movie this poster is advertising was about when I picked it up. NEFARIOUS? It sounded like it was something by (or ripping off) the makers of films like INSIDEOUS, SINISTER, MALIGNANT or any of those other similarly ominous-sounding one-word horror titles. But I guess this came and went (bypassing my tiny, island theater) without much fanfare. Oh well... I still haven't seen it and have no idea what it is about.

BOMBA ON PANTHER ISLAND: While not in the best condition, I am ever so delighted to have scored another Bomba poster. Who? Bomba the Jungle Boy was a teenage Tarzan-like character. The films were based ona series of 20 novels that started publication in the mid-1920s. There are 12 Bomba movies, all of which were cranked out between 1949 and 1956. Johnny Sheffield played Bomba in the series. Sheffield famously played Boy in the later Weissmueller TARZAN films, until he aged out of the part and "went off to school" never to be seen again. Lucky for him that some filmmakers decided to cash in on the TARZAN craze and cast the TARZAN star in the series. This poster is for the second film in the series. I have a few others.

SCREAM 6: Normally I don't bother with sequel posters. Sure, there are some film series that I'll buy a poster for every film in the series. Mostly though, I just avoid the sequel one sheets. SCREAM has always fallen into that category of ignoring the sequel one sheets. Don't get me wrong. I love the SCREAM films. They are (usually) pretty clever and inventive. While I have the poster for the first SCREAM (which I finally scored YEARS later), I didn't bother with the sequels...until SCREAM 5 (aka just SCREAM from 2022). I really liked its advance one sheet and snagged one. I thought I also got the final release one sheet showing the cast as I really liked that one, too. But, going through my previous posts, I don't see it. I guess I didn't get one? While SCREAM 6 was kind of disappointing, the dinal poster was similar to the final poster for SCREAM 5. So, why not? (Although I also really liked the advance one sheet with Ghost Face looking through a subway window...) Maybe I should have just followed my general rule of skipping sequel posters...

THE POPE'S EXORCIST: Oooo how I wanted to see this. Of course, it didn't play here. By the time I learned it had been released, it was pretty much played out already (and had pretty much bombed). I could have traveled off island to see it, but that would have been an hour+ drive each way and the drive back would have been in the dark. No thanks. I'll catch it on disc or streaming possibly. Not the best poster--but my kind o' movie. (Hopefully.)

THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMMAGE: Finally! Although the poster is rather bland, I am glad to have ultimately scored one. This film put Dario Argento on the horror map. Although he'd written other things in the years previous, this Italian giallo film was his first directorial effort. The poster isn't perfect, but I am happy with it. But it does make pause and say how crazy the poster market has become. Jeepers. This poster (in this condition) has been going for more than I would have expected it to for the longest time. I finally just bit the bullet and got this one. But other posters I've been after for decades have just gotten crazy expensive. Things I could have gotten for under $100 10 or 15 years ago or so were up to over $1,000 just a few years ago...and are now going for multiple thousands. What the heck!?! When I was a kid, posters were cheap. I just wish I'd better taste back then. I still kick myself occasionally over the stuff I passed up for $5-$25 bucks for the shlock crap did get (which is still worth next to nothing). Oh well.

BLACK DEMON: Ooooo, yet ANOTHER JAWS ripoff...and trying to take a bite out of the pre-release buzz of MEG 2. Of course it did NOT play anywhere near me. I don't think it got that wide of a release, actually. So--good, bad, or god-awful, I am thrilled to score the one sheet. Now to track down the flick...

OLGA'S GIRLS: Snap on your chastity belt... Although this poster has issues, it is super rare. By acquiring this poster, I believe I have one sheets for all five of the notorious OLGA roughies. (The possible exception may be OLGA'S DANCE HALL GIRLS--which many see as the worst of the series, but it's my favorite. Ha! I don't see that poster listed among my posts, but I am almost sure I have a copy...)

THE MAD GHOUL: Whoo hoo! I am very thrilled to have scored this 1943 Universal horror one sheet. It's one of the lesser horror titles, obviously. I've never seen it--but zowie! LOOK at that cool poster. And what a cast! Turhan (THE SPIRITUALIST aka THE AMAZING MR.

MONSTER ON THE CAMPUS: Oh my stars! I canNOT believe I got this beauty. It's always swell to pick up another Reynold Brown one sheet anyway. But... WOW!! I am absolutely dee-lighted! Yes, it's kind of a simple design, but I have been after one forever! A just on the verge of hitting it big Troy Donahue co-stars along with The Beast. EEEK!

Okay, that's 10. It's not the greatest post ever, but is a step up from some of the more recent ones. It also has some really good (I think, anyway) additions. (And, yes. There is some crap I could have done without, but...)
Thanks for visiting. Keep an eye out. Hopefully I'll have another post somewhere down the line.

I really love "Monster on the Campus" poster !
I hope to find one in very fine ++ condition folded one day.
For the design, Reynold Brown has largely copied his "Tarantula" design. Two panicked characters running and an identical background.
The student guy just got older between the two movies (and his wife, like lovely Joan Bennett, changed her hair color) ;-)
The Mad Ghoul poster is impresive too.

aloha and nice set of posters there MAGG.
Looking forward to pictures of the tiki bar build ! And just in time for summer! bed1

s busy as RB was, I'm not surprised he didn't copy himself more!
Yes, I'd love a folded copy in great condition. I have always hated things on linen. However, I have come to the realization (for myself) that I'll take it however I can get it these days. If another comes along in the condition I want, so be it. But when one presents itself--take it, linen or not, and enjoy it while you can. Life is freakin' short.
THANK YOU for visiting.
CHEERS!

CRAZY VICK!!!! How exciting to see you! Yes, once it is done (or at least pretty far along in the process of being done), if I remember, I'll share a link when I post again in a few months. Whoo hoo! I'm excited. I've wanted a home tiki bar for decades. The closet tiki bar to me now is 1 1/2 hours away! I truly am a tiki nut.

Hi Monster,
For a minute there, I wasn't sure what Roy Scheider was swinging at us.
Nice going on The Mad Ghoul and Monster on Campus! Can you imagine The Mad Ghoul/Son of Dracula double feature back then? Good ole drive-in madness!
Those shameful, shameful chastity belts! What greater shame than chastity. Wait a minute, maybe Olga isn't so bad.
The Bird with the Crystal Plumage! Dang, that has a spy novel ring to it. I like the little Alfred Hitchcock faced bird with the sans skin Terminator fingers for feathers.
One more thing: Ursula with a scuba knife! Way better than finding sea glass.
Okie

And we're back... So soon? Well... Yes. I was naughty and bought a pair of poster lots again. No, I'm not going to post every single poster in the lots I bought. Many I already have. Many I could have done without. One batch (folded) was an OOPS. I thought I was bidding on a different lot. Ha! Dumb me. There really wasn't anything in it I was after. The other lot (rolled) only contained 2 items I wanted. Isn't that usually the case? But I did find an item or two I didn't have and was mildly curious about. There were also some non-lot purchases as well this time. But...I'm yammering. Let's just take a look, shall we?
B.C. ROCK: This is one of those "mildly curious" posters that happened to be in the rolled lot. This looks vaguely familiar but I never saw it. It seems to be some animated flick with a lot of music...and is R-rated. Hmm. What caught my eye was the caveman who seemed to be hanging on to this rather phallic-looking rock. WHAT? On closer inspection I spied the tiny leaf (Not even a fig leaf) and I laughed. End of story.

THE ATOMIC CAFE: This one was also "mildly interesting." I've seen this poster a time or two. I've never seen the film, but when I have stumbled on this poster, I found the graphics interesting. It did its job and made me curious about the flick. (Although I haven't bothered to travck it down.) When I did see this poster in the past, it was always priced more than I wanted to pay for it. Now I have one...and probably paid more for the lot (of mostly unwanted posters) than buying one of those other copies would have been. Whatever...

BLACK TRASH: I do like my vintage blaxploitation films of the early 70s (especially the horror ones). I'd seen posters for BLACK TRASH several times. I had never really heard of the flick though. As one of the "mildly interesting" posters in the lot I was intially thrilled to ad the poster for an obscure blaxploitation flick. Then I looked it up. This isn't the true blaxploition flick it is trying to lead you to believe it is. It was filmed entirely in South Africa by South Africans and was originally called DEATH OF A SNOWMAN. There's no SUPER FLY. There's no SHAFT. There's no Pam Grier. There's no BLACULA. What the heck? Why bother? This flick was also released as SOUL PATROL--a title I'd also seen posters for. Eh... This is a curiousity, but that's about it. I have no interest in seeing it. Oh well.

BRIMSTONE & TREACLE: Another "mildly interesting" lot item was the poster for BRIMSTONE & TREACLE. I do remember when this came out in the '80s. I was curious about it--but it didn't really make much of an impact (at least in this country), despite starring Sting--the lead singer of The Police who were super popular in the 80s. If it came to my town, it didn't last long. I never saw it. Is it worth tracking down? Apparently there is a song by The Police in the movie. Does Sting SING in the movie? That would be odd as, by the looks of the poster, the film seems to be going for a sinister feel. Hmm.

HAUNTED MANSION (2023)(Advance): I HOPE this will be good--or, at least, an improvement over the Eddie Murphy disaster. The poster isn't all that fab. It's appeal was the subject matter (Who doesn't love the Haunted Mansion?) and price--just $14.95 (and that included shipping). I'm a sucker. SOLD!

A BOY AND HIS DOG: I got one of these a while back after looking for years and years and years! And suddenly...SHAZZAM! Another popped up for sale super cheap. WHAT? No, I didn't need a second copy--but how could I NOT get it? By the way, the movie takes place far in the future...aka NEXT YEAR! I saw this movie several times as a kid. I remember liking it...but don't remember much about it. Perhaps I should track it down again...

C.H.U.D. II (video): I generally do NOT buy posters for sequels--especially straight-to-video sequels. But, as cheesy as it is, HOW did you really expect me to resist this one featuring five monster men (aka C.H.U.D.s--Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers) with creep-o-fabulous glowing eyeballs? And they are crawling out of a sewer! How charming is that?

BLOOD SISTERS: This poster is one of the two I was after in the rolled lot. This is a crap-o-matic movie, with a whodunit non-surprise ending you can see coming 10 minutes into the movie. It came out in the slasher era...but this low-budgeter obviously couldn't afford the gore effects--so everything happens off camera. To keep you distracted, you get boobies! Boobies! Boobies! Ha. It's L-A-M-E. (Yes, even with boobies.) Directed by oddball, Something Weird-director fave Roberta Findlay. This is one of those flicks where the poster is more interesting than the movie.

INSEMINOID: I might have one of these already. I searched my poster blog and all I saw was the boring alternate one sheet. Hmm. Just to be on the safe side, I snagged this little sci-fi, exploitation, ALIEN-ripoff, one-sheet messterpiece.

CHEERLEADER CAMP: I've never seen this--but this poster was the other poster in the lot I wanted. Actually, this was the main goal. (BLOOD SISTERS was more of a lucky bonus.) I thought this must have been a direct-to-video flick, but no. It had a theatrical release apparently. Also known as BLOODY POM POMS, I'm sure the movie must be crap. Betsy (AVENGING ANGEL and the SAW series) Russell?? Leif (DEVIL TIMES FIVE and brief 70s teen idol pop sensation) Garrett? I may need to track it down. And what a fun poster. It looks like SLEEPAWAY CAMP meets BRING IT ON.

SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE: I do NOT understand the popularity of the SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE movies, but they have their sleazy, cheesy charm. I have the third film's one sheet and a video poster for Part 2 (which is my favorite of the three--and so odd). (I really need to find the one sheet for 2), but Part 1 has eluded me...and the prices for it keep going up and up and up. Sooooo, well, I bit the bullet and snagged one. I haven't seen the direct-to-video remake. Is it worth a watch?

VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (British Quad): Oh my STARS!!!!! A while back I posted a recent poster aquisition update. I had gotten a VALLEY OF THE DOLLS one sheet, which I hoped was an upgrade for the one I already had. I said it was one of my all-time favorite (bad) movies. I later got a private message from marklawd. He simply said: "So VALLEY OF THE DOLLS is one of your favorite all-time movies? Let me know your postal address so I can send you something you'll like!" Okay. I sent him my address. I thought perhaps he'd send some clippings about the film or a photo still---something like that. And then I kind of forgot about it. A couple of weeks later there was a parcel from England. Hmm. I had no idea who'd sent it. I opened it and ...there it was -- instant turn-on, instant love, instant excitement, ultimate hell! It was a VALLEY OF THE DOLLS British quad. (Insert the sound of my jaw dropping to the floor here.) OH MY GOSH! Talk about surprise-a-ramas! I was/am so delightfully shocked! ZOWIE WOWIE!!!! How utterly kind. How utterly unexpected. WOW!!!! I am so so sooooooo MOVED by that. THANK YOU Mark Lawd. Wow! Wow!! WOW!!!

Hi Monster,
I believe you and I were bidding on the same lot in your last post. I wanted it mostly for Cheerleader Camp and have since forgotten what the rest of the lot was. I'm glad they went to a good home. I was considering bidding more but decided to just let it go and I am happy with where they ended up! :)
Cheerleader Camp is an awesome slasher with the very talented Betsy Russell and Lucinda Dickey in the leading roles. It's like a dream movie for me because it's not only a slasher but one with my two favorite 80s actresses! Highly recommended. Rumors going around that it will soon see a bluray release but otherwise I'm sure you could find a decent DVD copy of the film or stream it somewhere online!
(I do own a poster already, but it is folded and I thought I could try for a rolled copy! Actually at one point I had TWO folded copies!)
I've been meaning to comment on your posters but have been busy. Hopefully will find some time soon to go through your posts and share my thoughts on your amazing finds!

Hi there! EMovie seems to have had a CHEERLEADER CAMP one sheet in the lots for the last few months. The ones that just closed had one. The lots before that had one as well, I am fairly certain. Mine were from the ones that ended in May, I think. I am sorry if I outbid you. Had a I known…
I actually DID see the movie. I bought the DVD on eBay and gave it a watch Monday night. A Blu-ray??? Hmm. I’ll consider buying it. It was a typically 80s slasher, but still kind of fun. The extras on the disc were woefully lacking.
Good luck on your poster quest. Thank you for visiting.
Cheers!

It was definitely the same auction we were in, and I'm glad they went to you since I know they found a good home! thumbsup.gif
I'm perfectly happy with my folded one sheets that have seen some love over the years but I thought, hey, why not try my hand a a more mint copy? ;D
They have been popping up every once in a while so maybe someday!
I also just saw the "Slumber Party Massacre" poster on your last post as well. That's a great purchase! I remember my motivation for seeking one down (and part of getting into this hobby in the first place) was seeing one hanging on a wall in a scene from "Chopping Mall" and thinking, "I want one of those!".
I own a folded copy myself as well as a rolled video release version!
Seeing you mention that the second one is your favorite of the three reminds me that I also recently got a standee/display for the second film. It's my favorite of the three as well, with the third following closely behind. I haven't seen the remake myself but I'll get to it soon!
There's also a reboot on the way for the similar franchise "Sorority House Massacre".

A standee for Part 2? How awesome! I am thrilled to have the one sheets for Parts 1 & 3. (I'd like a better copy of 1, but...) I have the video poster for Part 2--but KNOW a regular one sheet exists for it. I've been hunting for it. I do have the one sheet for SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE as well. I have NOT seen the remake for SPM either. Ha! They're also remaking SHM? No surprise, I guess. What isn't a sequel or remake these days?

Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show! Okay...so, it's only been two and a half months since the last post. Better than I would have anticipated...but it still feels like a million years since we were all last here. As usual, there's some crap on display...but also some better stuff. (Well, I think it's "better stuff" anyway.) Let's take a peek-a-boo-a-gogo, shall we? Here's what I've got for you this time:
NAKED FLAME/OPERATION CROSS EAGLE (combo): Okay--NOT the best poster ever. Although the top half has a great tag line ("Nude protests erupt in flaming violence"), the real reason I bought this snoozer of a double bill is because of where it came from. As a lover of odd, strange, obscure, cheesy, grindhouse movies, I have been a huge fan of the video distribution company SOMETHING WEIRD VIDEO. Through Something Weird , I finally got to see movies by HG Lewis, Doris Wishman, Joe Sarno, etc. I saw bizarre-O sexploitation flicks, crazy kiddie matinee movies, Mexican horror shockers, and more! Something Weird opened the doors to so many wondrous cinematic sleaze fests. I was in heaven when I discovered them. So what does this poster have to do with Something Weird Video? A friend here in Seattle knows the widow of the founder, Mike Vraney. Lisa Petrucci has assumed the mantle of CEO and is in the process of downsizing the company. She had a yard sale last month and I was invited to go. I went hoping to score some great posters from their wild, ecclectic catalog. However, what was available wasn't all that interesting. This was the best thing I came across. So, it's not so much the poster I like, but where it came from. But the experieence was awesome---and there was an open house at the Something Weird headquartes a short time later (where some amazing vintage posters were on display for my drooling eyes. I wrote about all of that (with photos!) if anyone is interested. You can see it HERE: https://monsterago-go.blogspot.com/2023/08/something-weird-this-way-comes.html

DRACULA CONTRA FRANKENSTEIN (Spanish): Yea...this was a mistake. I didn't notice the torn corner until after I was bidding. (I was on the phone. I can't see on the phone. Argh!) Maybe I can hide it with a frame? At least the image is intact.

HAUNTED MANSION (2023):
I am looking forward to this new Haunted Mansion flick...but I don't have great expectatrions for it. This was cheap though...

THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER (Teaser): This poster was a bargain---it was FREE. A friend's husband works for UPS and occasionally they get items to be destroyed because the company receiving them has gone out of business or returns are no accept. My friend Gillian's husband snagged me some posters heading for a now-defunct theater. There were other posters with it, posters for THE FLASH, BARBIE, BLUE BEETLE, and maybe a few others. But this one caught my eye. A new Dracula movie? I had no idea.

INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY (International style B): Before the latest Indiana Jones flick debuted and was hearlded as a flop (But really...it cost nearly $300million to make. How could it NOT "fail"?) Anyway, I'm sure prices are dropping, but I scored this weeks before the film came out...probably at top dollar. Oops! I just wanted to be sure I got one.

INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY (Style A): I should have been happy with this one alone. The other was poor judgement, perhaps. This one looks the most like the other posters in the series. I haven't seen it yet, but I will--and soon--in the theater. (If I can find one still playing it...)

THE TOXIC AVENGER:
While I have seen the first two (three?) of the TOXIC AVENGER movies back in the VHS days, I was never a big fan. I found the humor too slapstick and sophomoric. Yet here I am with the poster. Why? I was there. It was available. End of story.

GHOST CHASERS:
It's funny, but out of the dozens of Bowery Boys movies, I have never seen a single one. You'd think some enterprising video company would have released a boxed set or something somehwhere along the way. I have a few of their posters--including BOWERY BOYS MEET THE MONSTERS (or something like that). Silly or not, I wasn't about to pass up a 72-year-old poster with a ghost on it. I already have this framed!

THE MAZE (3D style/linen):
Whoo hoo! This is my prize this time. I love me some vintage paper (although this one is unfortunately adhered to linen) from the original 3D flicks of the 1950s. I have been after a copy of THE MAZE for a long time. I am sooooo glad I scored this one. Yowza!

And that is, as they say, THAT! That's 10 for this post. But, believe it or not, I already have a good start on the NEXT post. I delayed "publishing" this as I've had other projects come along that have hindered my writing of the Something Weird post. I had to wait until that was done before adding the link here.

Speaking of links, I have been remiss in linking my mail art blog pages containing my faux horror movie poster-like envelopes to these posts. I'll post the most recent five. One of them has an interview with me about my mail art. (WARNING: I look horrible now.) Take a peek-a-boo looky-loo or don't.

Nice haul, Monster!
Yes, Indiana Jones is for sure a massive flop for Disney. $300 negative cost, $150 advertisement, the film would need to bring at least $850-900 worldwide to break even (exhibitors take half the receipt). I will end with less than $400. Even with ancillary markets and some added value to its parks, it is a massive failure for the mouse house. Add a poor intl showing for Little Mermaid, a weak BO for Elemental and Haunted Mansion. Not a good year for Disney. And now the strike.
This being said, I don't think you can go wrong with collecting Indy. I am still adding pieces here and there because it remains a cultural landmark.

Satan's Pancake House is a winner. lol Love it!

Thierry! Thanks for visiting the page. I guess with you in the undustry, you'd have a better understanding of how INFY 5 failed. Is it really THAT bad---or did those who were reporting it was a flop (BEFORE if came out) help kill it? I still want to see it. The 4th one was lame--but i am still glad it exists and glad I saw it. Hmm...
CHEERS!

Thanks--but I hope you read and realized that SATAN'S PANCAKE HOUSE was an envelope (NOT an actual movie poster) that I created. But I still appreciate the kudos.

Half a billion dollars loss on a movie is bad, yes. Not as bad as WB lost on The Flash, because Disney can still milk the Indiana Jones franchise multiple ways, from parks to merchandising, but it will be at the very least a $200-300 millions write off for the company.

Half a billion dollars loss on a movie is bad, yes….

I’m sure streaming has cut deeply into movie profits. I don’t know if INDY 5 is on any of the Disney-owned streaming services or not. I know there have still been big box office hits since COVID, but by and large box office over all has been down. Streaming is great for the movie industry but is also killing it.
-
This is a whole new conversation that prob doesn’t belong in your thread, but I don’t think streaming is necessarily the only culprit. I think it all comes down to the price of making movies to get people out of their living rooms and into theaters, the amount to advertise such movies (which can be as much as the film itself), the competition from social media, video games, etc, but mostly, at least to me, the quality and originality of these movies.
As you can see with Barbenheimer, give the people what they want to see and they will flock to theaters. The audience is there, ready to pounce. Unfortunately, studios have become adverse to risk, for reasons listed above and more, and originality is dying. Check all the movies in release today: Indiana Jones, 42 years old, Mission Impossible, 27 years old or 57 if you go by the TV show, Oppenheimer, original but 90 years in the making, Barbie, original but 64 years old Mattel brand, Transformers, 16 years old franchise but 80s Hasbro toys, Little Mermaid, Meg 2, Spider-Man, you get the picture. This to me is the real culprit.
Look at movies released as recently as the 80s and you will see tons of original and fresh ideas. Again, I’m not saying that people do not have original ideas anymore, but the system, the competition from TV and others, and the price all make it increasingly harder for these ideas to see the light of day.
-
THIERRY: As I said before, you would know better. But… between streaming and loss of box office revenue, I fear for movie theaters. I love seeing films in theaters. I hope they stick around…

And, what!?! We're B-A-C-K!!! That was...quick. (It just seems that way as I delayed the previous post until I finished my write up on my Something Weird Video adrventure, which I had linked to the page. I've already been working on this one for several weeks.) Truth be told, though, about half of these became mine in a 12 hour period. It is no secret that I am now disabled. I live on a VERY modest income now with very little in the bank to fall back on. There is a saying, "You can't take it with you." There should also be a saying that says "You can't enjoy it if you don't have it." That seemed to have been my mindset during a recent eMovieposter auction. Despite the fact that everything was on linen--there were so many titles I wanted. Things were fairly cheap...until the very end. But... Geez! Dipping into my meager savings was... EXTREMELY STUPID and FOOLISH.
But, it happened. Let's take a look:
PRO BALL CHEERLEADERS:
What the hell is this? I was looking at my eMovie pay & holds, realizing my time was almost up...and I saw this title in there. Zowie! I have ZERO memory of buying this. It is the only thing I "won" the day it was auctioned off, so I can only imagine that it was either a frustration bid OR I was a sucker for this bit of description in the listing: "Note that we haven't auctioned an example of this poster since 2016!" OR BOTH!!!

THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER (International teaser):
I'm already NOT impressed. Who okayed this poster? BUT--it is an EXORCIST sequel (one of the few sequel posters I'll buy). I had to get one. I just hope that the final poster--should there be one--is better than this crap. (Of course, after the god-awful, rip-off, disappointment of HALLOWEEN ENDS--which was co-written and directed by David Gordan Green, the man responsible for co-writing/directing this legacy sequel--my hopes for a decent sequel have already been dashed. I'll still go though...)

HOW TO MURDER A RICH UNCLE (linen):
This isn't the most exciting poster ever...and it could use some color to jazz it up, but the artwork is by Charles Addams (creator of the original Addams Family drawings that led to the TV series and movies). How could I say no? I may already have one--but I'm not sure. I am no fan of linen--but this went cheaply.

HOUSE OF THE LONG SHADOWS:
I saw this movie ages ago...and unfortunately it was not very good. (At least, I remember thinking it was lame...but have no memory of the film itself.) Although I may have this poster already, I don't recall seeing it in my collection. So, I have been looking to get one--but not in any drastic, I-NEED-IT-NOW kind of way. Why? The cast of course. You've got four horror legends altogether in one flick (and on one poster!); Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, and John Carradine. I don't understand why the first three names are above the title and Carradine is below. Even more baffling is the other "star"--Desi Arnaz Jr. Huh!?! Oh well. The movie may not be much, but at least it has a good one sheet.

ALTERED STATES (International style):
How fun to finally have this....although I should have saved the moeny. Oh well. it was one of those days where you bid--hope to win other stuff and why not this, too--can't be present at the end of the auction and... you win only this. Wuh-wuhhh. Oh well. I do dig it and have been casually wanting one for years. (It's way better than the US one sheet.) But--I am poor. I should have saved my cash...

BURIED ALIVE (aka BUIO OMEGA and BEYOND THE DARKNESS):
Zowie! Here is one I totally did NOT expect to get. Yes, it looks like a crappy, low-rent poster. Well, Aquarius Releasing did distribute a lot of amazing sleaze (grindhouse-type stuff), but their motto was obviously keep it cheap. This is the Joe D'Amato flick (not some other BURIED ALIVE) and is pretty sick-yet-cheap Italian trash. I saw it on VHS back in the day as BEYOND THE DARKNESS. This poster isn't super rare--but is uncommon. I've been after one for YEARS, but I never wanted to pay $200 +/- for it.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVU5g-wvQRYncN0FRjIuD7bbxyU0qpB98JZlDCw3_ZpJ3ozP1Iop4jpPOvVJE8vPg_gwDT8oa7CY5y-kPOwnfUJsvoidVmwECvZjaLncg-rRDhAetHd5Z47ddDfHYliZ5U0ISu1TphhpGMPB7NHA1F4Jw3G_046yXt5Ot4kPUCBxAhlOwgh5MnxY0mu5Q/w422-h640/buried_alive_EB21633_Bbbb.jpg)
THE COSMIC MAN (Linen):
I had never heard of this flick until another collector posted an insert for this flick (which I still haven't seen) on a poster website somewhere a few years back. What was this? The image and the obscurity of it (THE COSMIC MAN??? How had I never heard of this? It stars Bruce Bennett, who, under the name of Herman Brix, was one of the original TARZAN's way back in the day...) made me curious. So I became a tad obsessed in trying to get one. Several have either not been nice enough or just plain slipped through my fingers. Despite this being on linen (I'm still NOT a fan...but as I wind down my collecting days, I gotta get what I can get.), I was thrilled to snag one finally!
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh44SuwywqOlsUdJdpHKuDZ7iLEC_uBwYE2LtEBg1yaLRX90MlqnQV7ItcsFVV80qHId6a82O5RrSKup-CgLmSDF3brvOLXLE54hAh-k_XlntHiZgX_iALnbhu3Y8QKsMjKsyG1R0qftpLcxC9y6KfvpaKWEjuczB3nVM1Md-uWXGt4lavXeuz8uWAZDOY/w480-h640/The%20Cosmic%20Man%20bbb.jpg)
THE BIRDS (linen):
Aha! This poster has been on my "want list" since I started collecting in the mid/late 1970s. I've bid many times---only to have it stolen away by someone else. I've seen the price rise and rise and rise over the decades, too. I remember seeing one for $50 once in beautiful shape (NOT on linen) years ago, but I just couldn't cough up the cash... STUPID ME! After years and years and years and YEARS of trying, F*#& it! I spent way more money on this than I can afford---and it was only "good to very good" before restoration. I have it now and I am thrilled. Normally I would have thought this would have landed at the end of my current list as the grand prize o' the day. In a way, it is ("LONGEST want list quest"), but in another way... Nah! I love the movie THE BIRDS--which is why I wanted the poster. However the poster itself... doesn't do it for me. I'll hang it (Hello!?! It's THE BIRDS!), but the art/style just isn't my cup o' tea.

ISLE OF THE DEAD (1953 rerelease linen):
Karloff!!!! I am always on the hunt for vintage Boris Karloff posters. I'll never have an original FRANKENSTEIN, and my dream Karloff poster is THE BODY SNATCHER (also soooo hard to get), but I do have a few others I am thrilled to have (BEDLAM, THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN rerelease, THE BOOGIE MAN WILL GET YOU, etc.). Of the others that are still somewhat obtainable, ISLE OF THE DEAD has been near the top of my want list. And actually, this rerelease (which has completely different art than the original release one sheet) has always been my preferred choice of the two. Wow! Wow! Wow!

SHE GODS OF SHARK REEF (linen):
Hot damn! While THE BIRDS may have cost more and some of the other posters may be more interesting, it is THIS poster that I am most excited about in this batch. I have been after one for so long---and this would be perfect outside of my soon-to-be-finished basement tiki room/bar. (It's almost done! Whoo hoo!) I had to fight for this one. (And DAMN YOU, Tr723427, whoever you are, for jumping in at the last minute -- again and again and again -- and driving the price up.) I have no money, but I NEEDED this poster. It was awful. I'd be outbid and go to make another bid...and my internet was down or my phone wouldn't connect. UGH! (This happened with another poster that I've long wanted and should have been mine...I couldn't get a connection before it was too late!) But--whoo hoo! Linen or not, it is finally mine! I have a frame for it reserved already. Tiki on!

@Monster_A_GoGo Great finds as always!
Re: ProBall Cheerleaders - I'm totally with you on both the frustration bids AND being a sucker for the descriptions on eMoviePoster! I've found myself bidding on posters for movies I've never seen just because they are listed as "ultra rare" and "never auctioned before"! faint2.gif
Naturally I tell myself I'll watch the movies anyway - and for the most part I have and enjoyed them! It's just more difficult with older films that aren't on any streaming services or even DVD since you have to dig a bit deeper for the lost/forgotten films that have amazing artwork.
I don't usually watch X-Rated films but many of them (Iike this one) have great artwork!
re: The Birds - You're right that the poster itself isn't the greatest. I personally would've preferred Hitchcock be removed (I don't like that he placed himself into many of his posters) and would've rather had the bird attacks/movie scenes be full artwork. Congrats on getting it though! It's definitely a classic that I myself will one day love to own! I'm not a fan of linen either but as you've said sometimes we just need to take what we can get!
Re: Spending costs on posters- Been there myself! I've probably spent way more than I should have on my recent purchases but there are too many great finds to let go! I've always regretted leaving some behind in the past as I've watched their prices increase so I don't like letting that happen anymore if I can help it!
P.S. I totally wish "Nudists In A Haunted House" was a real film! I love what you've done there!

@Monster_A_GoGo Great finds as always!
Hi Heather! Thanks for visiting the post.
PRO-BALL CHEERLEADERS--I still have no memory of bidding on this. I propbably didn't even realize it was an adult movie at the time either. I'm glad there's someone out there who has done the frustration bidding thang like I have (TOO many times!).
THE BIRDS--For such an iconic film, it really is too bad the poster isn't better. Hitchcock really had some crappy posters. (MARNIE comes to mind...) It would have been AWESOME if someone like Reynold Brown had been allowed to take a crack at it. But no. A Hitchcock picture was an A-list picture. Iy had to appeal to the masses--not just the horror hounds. Oh well. I'm thrilled to have it, but it was a missed opportunity.
POSTER COSTS--Everytime I see a new bunch o' poster go up for auction and I look through them---there are, of course, a zillion things I'd like to have and I bookmark them. Then, I go back to whittle the list down. A lot of them I realize I (THANKFULLY) already have and do NOT need another copy. I have done that for years--buy copies of posters I already have. I guess some posters I love so much I feel I must grab more of them. But there are many times when I sigh with relief knowing I already have a poster I would normally have to fight for. But really--the prices have just mushroomed. Insane!
NUDISTS IN A HAUNTED HOUSE--Ha! I'm glaf you liked my silly envelope. I wish it were a real movie, too. Ha! Thanks for mentioning it.
CHEERS!

It's all a matter of opinion, of course, but I must say that I could not disagree more. I have been collecting Hitchcock for a few years now (albeit very slowly because I only want near mint folded posters and they are hard to find in any condition) and I love them all. Yes, even Marnie.

Great Birds poster, btw.

Nice recent selections, Monster! I love that Birds one sheet - it'd be fun if that sort of marketing came back for modern horror (quotes about how scary it is from the director and pleas to keep the ending a secret, like Psycho). Makes the films seem like an event. Altered States is a favourite of mine too. I didn't know a new Exorcist film was in the works, the make up looks similar to Regan in the original, which I always found really creepy.
Interesting analysis from T on Indy too. I tend to agree about originality. I was hoping to see Indy 5 at the cinema, but due to a holiday, I only had limited time and so chose Oppenheimer and Mission Impossible instead. Having recently watched Indy 1-3 with my kids (still outstanding entertainment), the drop off in quality to 4 is so stark...I don't have high hopes for the 5th film.

Congrats MAGG on a very nice bunch of new acquisitions

Well you certainly have quite the collection. I would love any Hitchcock--even MARNIE--because of what they are, but the art on some (especially the post-BIRDS films), leaves a lot to be desired, I think. But art is subjective. If I am lucky enough to score another Hitchcok, I hope it's LIFEBOAT. That is a nice poster. (REAR WINDOW and VERTIGO are beyond my grasp.)
Thanks for looking!
CHEERS!

Hey, thanks for visiting the page and leaving a comment. Yes, INDY 4 was NOT up to par with 1-3, but it was still a better movie than a lot of the knock offs out there. I really want to like INDY 5. I'm not holding my breath, but will give it the benefit of the doubt.
CHEERS!

Hey there! Thanks for the note...but no word about my fake movie poster envelope NUDISTS IN A HAUNTED HOUSE? I chose that one to post just for YOU!
CHEERS!

Haha... I was about to look it up on imdb to maybe get it, but then HM mentioned it was a mashup. I like it, thanks for posting! Movies with Super-au-natural experience are on my buy list lol

Have a creepy crawly groovy Halloween! Boo!

I’m terribly sorry.I DO have another post ready (and just in time for Halloween), but I am traveling and away from my home desktop computer. I am having a horrible time trying to transfer photo urls here…so. My post would be naked without pictures. My alternative, which I find I am having to do, is to simply post a link to my blog so you can see my current stuff.
Here is the link:

Hope it helps!
Welcome! Get your tickets and take your seat.The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is about to begin. I am still disabled and only getting worse…yet, uh, um…I’m spending money on my ADDICTION to posters that I really have NO BUSINESS doing. Why? Because I am STUPID. (But I LOVE staring at them…) Waaaaagh!
Anyway—-my stupidity is your viewing pleasure (or however you want to term it…).
Here we go…
THE LADY IN THE MORGUE (1942 RE-RELEASE):
This isn't something that I'd usually buy. I've never seen this old mystery/whodunit flick. Despite this being a re-release poster (The original, with completely different art, hails from 1938.), I decided to go ahead and buy this 81-year-old gem for several reasons. I like the monster-ish hands reaching in at the couple. I dig the purple/green color scheme. The old school font is awesome...and one of its co-stars is Barbara Pepper, who brilliantly played Mrs. Ziffel (Arnold the pig's "mom") on GREEN ACRES. Ha! The most important reason was the price. I think this was only $20? SOLD!

GREMLINS:
I already have one of these, but stupid me couldn't turn up a bargain priced copy. (UGH! I sooo can NOT afford to do that any more...)
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdEYlzKCLMbBxrgmKIdBs6FuTwKLwUqkC2DKUZrbnGnA_qDeH91eS7G0pxc0oq5Algbh7pXrdDIWVHm2tWvvHHNuwF4SprjzoHfbPC_v2_56kcBbM5u18FhRuKYdZvu6i1zFpkv1MOv7aV6jeUv7TD6KxxlDqTG2F_NjdyA6aQrUf_aCBf0TWSh71XAak/w640-h640/Gremlins.png)
BLOOD CREATURE (Re-release of TERROR IS A MAN):
Recently, my friend Ray Wyland (aka Tiki With Ray), asked to interview me as an “expert” (Uh…) on the BLOOD ISLAND film series for his vlog. (He was approached by a promotor for the Kickstarter campaign trying to revive the series. The campaign ends Nov. 2nd.) Sure, I had seen all of the films (on DVD) and I have all of the one sheets for the series. There are three core movies in the series (BRIDES OF BLOOD, MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND, and BEAST OF BLOOD), all of them star John Ashley (if you know who he was). There is another film that is sort of (maybe) in the series that was produced 9 years before the main trilogy (of which the first one is a completely different story line from the other two and John Ashley plays a different character in BRIDES than he does in the subsequent films) called TERROR IS A MAN. It was later re-released with BLOOD in the title as BLOOD CREATURE. As the dubious “expert” (Ha!) on the series, getting this one sheet was a MUST! I’m actually thrilled.

TARZAN'S MAGIC FOUNTAIN:
Okay, so it's not in as nice of shape as I'd like, but I am still pretty pumped to have scored this vintage TARZAN poster. This film stars Lex Barker, the successor to the loin cloth after Johnny Weismueller "retired" (aka "aged out") from the role. He only played the swinging Lord of the Jungle five times. I have two other one sheets (TARZAN'S PERIL, TARZAN AND THE SHE-DEVIL) with Barker...Now, with this one, I just need two more (TARZAN AND THE SLAVE GIRL. TARZAN'S SAVAGE FURY).

THANKSGIVING:
Gobble! Gobble! I am ever so excited and delighted that my favorite fake trailer from GRINDHOUSE is finally becoming a real movie. Of course I had to snag the poster. However, truth be told, I really do not know how Roth will deliver the goods on the promise of what was in that trailer. The trailer was brilliant and campy. The movie...may get sloppy. I hope he doesn't change it too much.

FRANKENHOOKER:
"Want a date?" FINALLY--after years of searching (I don't think I already have one. Do I?), I have scored the poster for FRANKENHOOKER! Yahoo!

DEEP RED:
Oh my stars! HOW many decades have I been trying to get one of these? It has obviously been handled, but is still in pretty darn good condition. YAHOO!!!!! I already have it in a frame.

THE RAVEN (linen):
Wow! Despite it being yet another freakin’ poster on linen (Grrrr.), zowie! What a thrill to have this fab poster of the fun AIP Poe adaptation with Karloff, Price, and Lorre! Such a classic! How delightful!

THE INVISIBLE MAN'S REVENGE: This was an unexpected surprise! Although it is the last in the series (before Abbott and Costello showed up), I'll still take it. GLADLY! I have the 3-sheet (which is totally different), but prefer one sheets. Unfortunately, it is on linen. But at this stage of the game, I'll never have one if I wait for an unbacked one. (They've all disappeared! Ha!)

UGH! More linen…but what a sweet poster? Like INVISIBLE MAN’S REVENGE, you gotta get what you can get. I already have ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE. This is a nicer image than that one. While it is a comedy, it still features a classic Universal “monster”. I shouldn’t have gotten this. There was something that closed just before this one that I really wanted, but missed. There was something else I also really wanted—-which got WAY out of my league quickly. So—in frustration—I bid and bid and bid and….oops! This was mine. But I do really like it.
And that makes 10. This should be my last post of new purchases for a while. I am “wintering” (Ha!) at a friend’s house in California until mid-February. I can’t really have posters coming here. That would be rude and how would I get them home again? But…I’ve always got my eye out. Hmm.
I hope your holidays (if this IS the last one of the year) are merry. Happy Halloween (Just barely made that one. BOO!), Thanksgiving, Chanukah, Christmas, Kwanza, New Year, Fake Jan Day, and anything else I may have forgotten.
Finally— if you’d like a gander at my horror movie poster-themed mail art, the most recent posts are linked below. Thanks for taking a look at today’s poster posting.

Easy-peasy, it took me 2mn
Just copy the text from your blogspot page, and paste it here, it will copy the text only.
Then, in your blogspot, right click on every image and copy image URL.
Here, use the "insert image" icon here to paste image URL.
That's it!!
PS. BTW, 2nd envelope well received... please send your mail address by PM
-
Oh… that’s how I usually post here. Except on my phone and iPad, I cannot right click. It’s so frustrating… But thank you!
-
I got this, you were using phone which was problematic.
Have a safe trip and happy Halloween Monster-a-go-go!

Happy Halloween!!!!!

I didn't realise that Thanksgiving is a spin off from the fake trailers in Grindhouse!
The Raven and Frankenhooker are both excellent. A nice selection, Monster_A_GoGo!

Hi TOB!!!
Yes, THANKSGIVING (like MACHETE before it) is based on one of the fake trailers from GRINDHOUSE. I hope he doesn’t ruin it. I hope he makes it clever/humorous/subtly campy like the trailer and not a gore fest I fear he is making out of it. We shall see…
Thanks for looking and leaving a note. Glad you liked some o’ my pickups! Cheers
-
ARGH!!! I am B-A-C-K with an unexpected new post. Unfortunately, I am still at my friend’s place in California (and NOT freezing back home in Washington). I have only my phone and iPad and NO WAY to “right click” anything…so all I can do is offer up a link to my new post.
Take a look or don’t. Sorry I am technologically inept.

Here it is!! PS. doing this so that you PM me your mail address... I wanna send you stuff.
Welcome back! I certainly did NOT expect to have any further posts with new purchases this 2023 calendar year, but here we are. Granted, most of these are holdover purchases from my temporary poster-buying insanity in October. I’d expected those to be the foundation for whatever post I kicked off the new year with. But now? I had a few more pick ups… Why hold back? Let’s send 2023 out with a real BANG! Christmas came a little early this year.
Uh oh… The lights are dimming. Take your seats. Let’s see what I have for you this time…
GIRL IN GOLD BOOTS:
Not a great poster, but one I’ve been after for a while. This flick is an exploitationer from legendary B man Ted V. Mikels (CORPSE GRINDERS, ASTRO-ZOMBIES, BLOOD ORGY OF THE SHE-DEVILS, etc.). I saw it years ago. I don’t remember much other than that there is a girl (who wears gold go-go boots) who is a dancer (and maybe sings?) and is somehow involved in the criminal underworld. Like a lot of Mikels’ films…it doesn’t leave an indelible mark. It’s more like a hazy fog. I do remember liking the film okay. One thing I DO recall is that there are fleeting scenes inside of the cool-looking, but long-gone Hollywood nightclub, THE HAUNTED HOUSE (Also seen in IT’S A BIKINI WORLD). I have several posters for Mikels’ films, so…
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNb-BgG_vUNA5g_6z2z9Sh-m2UZmL9rDgDfd7OUAztesL0_43XGDEgQnuWxrDkZLzpl9THdfOYrihl8rFaytYwxXe4sYsLtaylwE8sUc2H5KrVgEnRh8jVWZSllZj2z8UbOPjoirT4ks86CyDeg6KMCMNBlWY4-9ZVLP7HFQnSqNsJrBTaczUchIAGoBY/w433-h640/A5500448-4F9C-420E-AD42-63C6B48EA761.jpeg)
PINK FLOYD-THE WALL:
This was an awesome movie back in the day (1982…Junior year of high school). Unfortunately I haven’t bothered to track it day for a revisit. Perhaps I should? I’ve been casually looking for the poster since then…and they always seemed to get pricier than I want to pay. Then this one popped up. It’s a tri-folded poster that’s had some wrinkling at the top. Framing should cover it (or most of it), if I ever were to frame it. But those folds and few wrinkles helped me score this one relatively cheaply. Hooray!
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFuFNBd6qoG9OHHxqw0SQDZ7bVxsaifuAblCnmCj86aDDGbmWRj0lO8PPALXnxrUJSRoGBbzE594-K3WcJK_BUkHQVHBauLKJawqSjnyvwDpqPIMVJq2t5MHw7iQDCivyMIs-Qz8WcNBgGrpZnP_HjxSC6EndsqECyXMx3xv4ekbN37rXXApoj7fNKlZ8/w428-h640/IMG_4811.jpeg)
TRESPASSERS:
Another fairly cheap one. I’d never seen this poster before or even heard of the flick. It’s clearly a horror flick and, I’m guessing, it had a limited release—making the poster a bit on the rare side. Perhaps that’s why it (thankfully) did not get a lot of interest at auction—and became mine! Yippie! (Or maybe the movie just sucks…)

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 4: THE DREAM MASTER (French):
I’ve really backed away from foreign posters over the last several year. However, I have always found this French NIGHTMARE sequel poster fun…and it went fairly inexpensively. Zowie! It’s a nightmare, er… dream come true.

THE UNEARTHLY:
I already scored one of these several years ago. However, vertical fold had almost completely split . Ugh… No thanks. But I hung on to it, hoping to score a replacement at a decent price. This is it. And I believe I got it for less than I got that first one several years ago. Yowza! This is a crap film, but hello? John Carradine, Allison Hayes, and Tor Johnson? Yes, please!

DEAD ALIVE:
I could have sworn, sworn, SWORN I had one of these (and I just might…). However, when I saw this at auction, I looked though my blog. Nope. No sign of one. That doesn’t mean I didn’t have one BEFORE I started blogging, but…just in case….I got this one. Again—it wasn’t all that expensive. Hooray! Lucky me!

ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. (Re-released as CAVE MAN) and BLONDE SAVAGE (double bill):
Zowie! Is this a find? I’m not sure—but I am delighted with it. This is an eBay find of the 1957 re-release of the original Victor Mature prehistoric drama (whose 60s remake would put Raquel Welch and her fur bikini on the map). Oddly (or maybe not so—lots of films were reissued under different names to score a bit more cash) it was called CAVE MAN. It was co-billed with something called BLONDE SAVAGE…but, of course, I wanted it for the dinosaur action. I looked it up on eMovie. They had a poor condition one sheet about 8 years ago that didn’t sell for much…and then a partial 3-sheet. (There was also a press kit.) That was it. I looked at Heritage. I didn’t find ay listing for it at all. Despite the poster being for a re-release (and retitled to boot), there don’t appear to be many of these around. So…yippie for me!

BEETLEJUICE:
I have…er, had one of these. When I finally got around (long after owning it) to opening it up to frame (It hadn’t seen the light of day since I’d purchased it.), I was horrified to discover that the poster was ripped and missing its lower third! UGH! That started the several years long search for a replacement. Yahoo! I got this one—-complete and whole.

DEVIL BAT’S DAUGHTER:
Here’s a curiosity… I had never heard of DEVIL BAT’S DAUGHTER before. Looking it up, I see that it is a loose sequel to Bela Lugosi’s DEVIL BAT (the main character is his daughter—but Bela is nowhere to be seen). However, it is apparently NOT a horror movie (although it was clearly marketed as if it were one. Hello? “Blood red lips…hungry for love but cursed by the brand of the vampires!” WOWser!). Despite the poster having issues, I got it at a decent enough price…and it does seem to be a rather obscure title. Why not?

THE LAND UNKNOWN (linen):
And here we are…back with the dinosaurs! What a fantastic and colorful poster for a cheesy and black & white movie. I wish it weren’t on linen, but as I said before—at this stage of the game, I have to get what I can find. I have been after one of these for a long, long time…

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is my 10 for this post. This really, REALLY should be my last post of new purchases for the year as I am still crashing, er…uh… “wintering” with a friend in California. I don’t go home until mid-February. While some posters are heading this way now (How will I explain them? Uh…), I just canNOT overwhelm his mailbox with my crap, er, uh…artful treasures!
Thanks for stopping by for this unexpected showing. Happy holidays!
CHEERS!

Oh, hi there. You caught me. I was supposed to be away visiting California until February 17th. However, I had to come back home for something unexpectedly. I'll be here another 2 weeks before I head back to California to finish out my planned visit. Boring stuff, I know. But, since you ARE here... I guess I could show you what I have added to my collection since we were last together several months ago. I have to be quick though as I only have a little time here. Ohhh! There go the lights. Take a seat. The show is beinging...
DYNASTY (3D):
The poster shown below is not mine. I couldn't go back and save the image as it has been months since I got this. (The actual poster is back in Californioa at a friend's house.) I already have one of these, but stupid me can't resist a fimmick (in this case 3D) and a sale. (I scooped this up super cheaply!)

Andy Warhol's FRANKENSTEIN (3D):
I have always thought this original release poster for Andy Warhol's FRANKENSTEIN was yawn-inducing. The 80s re-release version was much better. I already have an original release version--why by another? This version shows it is in 3D (gimmick) whereas most of the others do not. Sold!

CANNIBAL GIRLS:
Believe it or not, but I have never seen CANNIBAL GIRLS (which has the warning bells gimmick). (I do have the DVD somewhere but have never gotten around to giving it a watch...) I have the poster...but something funky weird happened to it and I needed a replacement. Voila!

THIRST:
I saw this flick years ago. I didn't particularly like it as I recall. I don't remember much about it other than vampires (or vampire-like people) were using humand as blood cattle. I remember one aspect of it was a grovery store was selling cartons of milk...but it was really blood! I had never seen a poster for it before though. When I stumbled on this one, I thought why not?
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCp46TsZcL0TSwAbRlS9zqiqn8h9G3Ttu8n1eDvWCIIWZA-cqtw7iYCue2mESW_7mMqj5qWDXw2LOGvvx3SrAWwjrTgN2NOrJZCF7mYoSavEyreO31M9T77A7Wj_y1bCnSmbhayq9s57VJx6-UrNPSn8ZVbm7iVP6WRyJ0B9xvnSuWNEx2sqVu33zgN9o/w480-h640/THIRST.png)
THX 1138:
Although I have not seen this flick in years, I am surprised it has sort of disappeared and isn't a bigger cult hit. I mean, it stars Roberty Duvall and Donald Pleasance and was the first film (?) of George Lucas. Besides, it is very interesting to boot. (It's also the namesake for theater sound systems!) Or maybe mt memory of it is being kinder than it deserves? I have been passively after one for years--not seeking one out, but trying for one when they came up. I am glad to finally one.

DEATH CURSE OF TARTU and STING OF DEATH (combo):
Oooooo HOORAY on this! WOW! I am thrilled, although no one else will be. I first heard of these flicks as a double feature from (I believe) Something Weird Video ages ago. Who knew that this low-bufget 60's regional rarities actually played together back in the day...and had a one sheet!?! I was thrilled when I found out about it and have been after one ever since. THIS IS HORROR!
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi616YpyyEwrU7SVC1g4xtXD8vDkXx_U12mP96e8Wa8ScFBTx6CKu7Ag2lTdaTuUWTxnPFSFraXZSZ_s25bYb9mdQ94_TQaO8aGB5LKJR334ep2Rq-opA3O6iv3kseh0lVsPL54SEvUNUpAm9fhHQSg-HJFJDuT5MGkvDZ97wrCCXwOzCmoc1NMs_Meouw/w500-h640/Death%20Curse%20Sting%20of%20Death.jpg)
THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS and OKEFENOKEE (combo):
Although NO ONE cares about the OKEFENOKEE part, I have been after a copy of the poster for THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS for years! It's an AWFUL movie, but that blurb about it being the Famous Monsters Shock Award winner has had it in my sites forever. There is nothing in the real Piedras Blancas except a lighthouse. There is no town as depicted in the film. (Yes, as crappy as the film is, I actually went there and looked!)
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAq02b3jlf27pd9PHncVhkYgQDAoH9n_8vTs-EVNuHXh0fj06x_f9scTK8ANYYI0m4OUqMovNot7ci3lIf-CvZtSPzgzDuffM2CUXJ-X5-G02fOUpXDYLw4L4lvNqmnhzblXUa4R2jhYqhgKfSSzJjcp8fJmWK6N8gTnNZlsqLAQlmGHU6IRHS8UAvHcU/w424-h640/monster_of_piedras_blancas_EB24672_Bb.jpg)
KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (International advance):
For some reason, the prices for the US releases for these is already ridiculous, so I am fine with a cheaper International release poster. I'm thinking the movie is going to probabaly suck anyone. (The last one did nothing for me at all...) Normally I don't bother with sequels, but there are some film series that I will; James Bond, some of the bigger horror franchises, and the Apes films. I loved the original ones. The new ones... I'll go see them, but they're just not the same.

WONKA (Final):
The original WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY is one of my all-time favorites. The Tim Burton/Johnny Depp version was interesting...but weird and too CGI. Promising to be a pre-quel of sorts to the Gene Wilder version got me excited for this one. While the actual film fell short of meeting my everlasting expectations, there was enough I did like about it to prompt me buying this final WONKA poster (awkwardly photoshopped legs and all).

HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL:
Oh my stars! I still canNOT believe this is mine. Original Universal horror, the original KING KONG, and, in the last few years, the original GODZILLA and PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE have all gone so far up in value I'll never own one. Of the holy grails I could still acquire (although still terribly expensive), this Reynold Brown beauty--and the only William Castle shocker I didn't have a one sheet for -- has been my top prioroty. I have been outbid time and time again. Not any more. This one has some issues--but that may have helped me land it finally. After I am home officially in mid-February and this arrives, it will be framed and hung as soon as it arrives. Wow. Just wow!
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-V50yzsQf0dnYWUai0qL634lJHltAftA90PBQjpRaYjP710INuXEmTB8SBN4z_sOy3bIcKkL2JFIdcnN_qc5igrmvZuo6vQjiyBTD4y0NL9xGjLvkmnUYJ9sylPEE2sC_GZnUJUvAFOuYIDfWUoBdRe22qys37bB0RNEtcaaLQulR1hAcQLQCW4IXF9U/w418-h640/HOuse%20of%20Haunted%20Hill.jpg)
And that makes ten. I hope you didn't mind the hastily, slapped together, no-frills show. I wasn't expecting to be posting anything for quite a while more. But now that I've shared all of my new goodies, who knows when I'll be back?
I hope your new tear is going well.
CHEERS!

Nice ones, MAGG.
House on Haunted Hill is amazing. I'm looking forward to the new Apes film, I quite like the reboot series, particularly Rise (the first one). Apparently Kingdom will be the first of 3 more films. I like the poster too! I grabbed the quad for it (same design, but with more greenery on the sides).
Have a nice time in California!

THX 1138 is a great movie. Though like most of Lucas' films I wish the original cuts were available to watch alongside the continual tinkering. Nice posters all around!

Hi. Thanks for visiting the page. I think the two apes series and how much you like them depend on when you saw them in your life. The original series is dated, but it’s the one I grew up with. It’s all practical effects, no cgi. I’m guessing the newer version started in your youth. I’ve gone to all of the new ones in the theater. They’re okay…they’re just different.
Enjoy the new one. Cheers!

Oh dear… You mean THX has been re-edited (like the original STAR WARS trilogy?) ugh! Leave it alone. Why do films need to be re-cut/re-edited? It was a good movie as it was.
Thanks for visiting the thread. Cheers!

Hi Monster!
You are on an incredible non-collecting roll and still getting great posters! How does he do it, folks???!!!! Nice mix of posters!
I'm glad the Cannibal Girls did not really eat Eugene Levy. Eugene's an international superstar!

I still haven’t seen CANNIBAL GIRLS, but what? They don’t actually eat Eugene Levy? Not even a part of him? Shocking!!!! Then what the hell good are the “warning bells”? Waaagh!
I fly home in a week (17th). I still have that dumb thing I got you a long while back. I will try to get it in the mail to you soon. Cheers!

I don't want to spoil the ending for you, Monster. I was just saying thank goodness Eugene Levy didn't get eaten in real life!

Hi there! Yes, I am B-A-C-K! And I’ve been bad… I’m NOT even back home yet (I’m still visiting in California until next Saturday.), and yet here I am with another Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. Oh my…
(Uh, in my defense, I do have to point out what will become obvious as we work through these, that they are far (FAR) from being some of the more interesting posters I’ve scored of late. In fact, as you’ll see, these are certainly very bottom tier posters (and were CHEAP). However, I was thrilled to get them (lover of trash flicks that I am). But let’s not dilly dally. I need to get to bed at some time tonight…and the lights are dimming. Quick! Grab a seat. The show is about to begin…
FIVE MILLION YEARS TO EARTH:
I have one of these already (otherwise it would be further down the list). Why get another? At the moment, I do not recall the particulars, but I do recall my copy had issues that I was not fond of. A replacement was needed and it didn’t take me nearly five million years to find another. On the contrary. It took hardly any time at all.

THOR THE CONQUEROR:
I am reasonably sure I have this Italian CONAN THE BARBARIAN ripoff already. It was cheap and I as trying to get another poster from the dealer. To make postage cheaper, I thought I’d go for it. I lost the other poster but ended up with this and the one below. Isn’t that always the way? Ha! No big deal. I dig my ripoff trash flicks.

THE FINAL TERROR:
Here’s the other poster I won but didn’t need. Like the THOR one, it was cheap. I’ve never seen the flick—and heard it wasn’t all that great. But look at that interesting cast! Rachel Ward, Adrian Zmed, Daryl Hannah, Joe Pantoliano, etc. Ha! I’ve seen the poster a zillion times. It’s not bad—I’ve just never had an interest in getting it.

THE FIRST OMEN (Advance):
Okay. Laugh away. I am rather bemused by the fact there is a new prequel (!?!) to THE OMEN. I believe this is an advance. Hopefully there will be a final poster with more interesting art. I’m a sucker. I’ll go see it — and I’ll expect it to be awful. I’ve seen all of the OMEN movies (including the pointless remake) and the short-lived TV series, DAMIAN (which I actually liked). I’ll gladly see this too. But a prequel set in modern times?? Uh…that won’t work, I don’t think, in the context of what the film series has presented so far. We will see…

THE BEES (International):
Here is one I have been passively after for a long while. It’s the international poster for THE SWARM ripoff, THE BEES. Unfortunately for THE BEES, Irwin Allen’s big budget insect disaster flick had no sting at the box office and was a huge flop-o-rama. THE BEES kind of disappeared in its wake. The US one sheet is lame—-sort of a close up of a bee’s face. This one has laughably bad art (To me, it looks like some kid in middle school drew it.), but that’s also why I’ve wanted this version.

THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS(30th re-release):
Did I need this? No. But I liked the colors, I liked the artwork, and I like the film. It was also cheap. (I had NO IDEA, by the way, that the movie had recently been re-released. Such is the sheltered life I lead on my island in the cold Pacific Northwest.

LISA FRANKENSTEIN (Advance):
This hasn’t come out yet, but I am not expecting to like it. I liked the poster. It was cheap. I’m not gonna bother with the final release version. I may not even see the movie. I know, I know… It’s by Diablo Cody, who wrote and won an Oscar for JUNO. I get it. However, JUNO is precisely WHY I may pass on this flick altogether. Yes, JUNO was funny. But Oscar worthy? I wasn’t that big of a fan of JUNO because every character (the teens and the adults, even the older adults) all sounded like the SAME person. They all had the same exact snarky wit about them. To me, that got tiresome after the first half hour or so. I hope that LISA FRANKENSTEIN does not fall into the same trap. But then again, as I said, I probably won’t bother.

DON’T RING THE DOORBELL (aka THE MAFU CAGE re-titled re-release):
Ha! How utterly excited I was when I came across this poster. It’s a retitled rerelease of the odd Carol Kane/Lee Grant flick THE MAFU CAGE. While I am sure I have a copy of THE MAFU CAGE poster (However, I do NOT see one in my poster blog. Perhaps I got one before starting it?), I wanted this poster because it just makes the film look more cheesy and more exploitative than it is. DON’T RING THE DOORBELL. Ha! Hilarious title and I love the font. This movie seemed to show up all of the time in my town under the original title, under this title, and once under the name MY SISTER MY LOVE. (Is there a one sheet for that? I’d love to track it down.)

THANKSGIVING (final):
Whoo hoo!! Although I got the advance one sheet for this 80s holiday slasher throwback, I was thrilled that there was a final release version, too. I honestly did not expect one. I enjoyed the flick for what it was. It was NOT as good as the fake trailer it sprang from, but it was still a nice attempt at making an 80s slasher-style flick based around a holiday.

MALIBU HORROR STORY:
I had never heard of this flick—and it only came out last fall. Did it play all over or just in a few venues? I came across the poster and snatched it up. I actually bought two copies—all the seller had. I was just so intrigued by the image. Unfortunately the posters got a bit damaged in shipping. (GRRR.) However, I kept them as I have not been able to find any other copies anywhere. Most curious. Still, it is an interesting image…

And… that’s my ten for this time. Now to get back home to Washington so I can deal with them all… Ha!
Stay groovy.

Hello! Welcome back! Yes, it has been a while since we were last here together. As you know, my buying power has been significantly cut in recent years and what funds I do have left are getting exhausted. Quickly. I tell you that to prepare you for another less-than-stellar edition of the SHOCK-O-RAMA POSTER SHOW. O' there are a few pieces I am really pumped about. The rest are sort of... eh, you'll see. (It's not like I haven't posted poster turds before...) Come, grab a seat and take a look if you'd like. The show is beginning now...
AMITYVILLE (video series posters):
The following four images I am lumping together as "one poster". They're all 11x17 (a size I don't usually bother sharing). They are also for some of the lowest-budgeted "films" (ahem!) you will ever see. Yes, they are all AMITYVILLE movies. As Amityville is a town and cannot be copyrighted, anyone can make an AMITYVILLE movie--and several non-talented bozos have given it a shot and shat them out. I've seen almost all of them. I feel compelled to--even though it is torture getting through most of them. (Of the four direct to video AMITYVILLE posters below, I have seen one, have two more, and am cointemplating buying the fourth.) I got this group of posters though, just for curiousity's sake. I'd never seen any posters (of any size) for the non-theatrical (apart from "AMITYVILLE 1992: IT'S ABOUT TIME and AMITYVILLE: NEXT GENERATION back in the VHS days) "movies" before.
AMITYVILLE KAREN (11x17):
This one is one of the ones I have, but have not seen yet. I'm sure it is utter crap--as the glut of these recent AMITYVILLE flicks are. Micro-micro-budgeted, I have to pace myself and only watch one every few months or so... (But by then, another half a dozen or so will have popped up!)
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ZSBIGjPUYwRDiVdNHt9vvQnKBx7OXsJI3T2CMl9KCOWuPNmgJzlTK8XXUVRtCON2thK6IfopZwHrYAd8U8P6f8ehHCHKgRUar8LXpV1HAiSVIY1yeY1g4kMOwwGaQtQq5ANwslGjhjPgRq7ovayR1LLk-tcjVdGwQdIjfNFq3GtyiSJnvai-EOuZTLw/w464-h640/Amityville%20Karen.jpg)
AMITYVILLE DEATH TOILET (11x17):
This may be one of the worst "films" in the AMITYVILLE series. (The worst that I've seen so far would have to be AMITYVILLE HEX.) This one is truly about a killer toilet...and also has a JAWS-inspired plot. This was soooooo hard to get through. (But AMITYVILLE OUTHOUSE--Yes, one really exists-- was even worse...)

AMITYVILLE THANKSGIVING (11x17):
I haven't seen this turkey yet. I think I am thankful for that. Hmm.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg33XA2QQ4ToAb0b4Y1s268FRSiZAi1COwuSI8qHY4Rw8EGwFdCLzsgSPKvpN1EXzqM5L5eBnkBgTa8n5VYgoc0L15cLBLmIhRpswC2AUctZ5m6Hd4lXtfCkvSaTsirCqyiglfTt3DxBdAK6i71jSC8XiB1lczUInfozUm7zIxGRaZQfilb9nz0UudB-io/w434-h640/Amityville%20Thanksgiving.jpg)
AMITYVILLE BIGFOOT (11x17):
This is the one I am thinking of buyung and is the poster that got me to purchase this set. I'm sure it's just as much dreck as the others. What stupidity will they dream up next? Does it matter? Slap AMITYVILLE on the title and I'll be compelled to see it. Blah!
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilMWPIkMmGlxlMuG-Pp5IbPyxJ85JGbcsnYSeE2iI537191KhPHqEMcUvDRktShTh7zfJYrXyL25XksdnzihNQu6-rzZOh6UrmfNmZ8lvjXQzlhL18B9-6DhVbt3sCyI4l7-QykvWySQKOSyX7RGgE7H1yIUDI4d1judzOmsoFubYlPPAjKdOrj2YzrJg/w478-h640/Amityville%20Bigfoot.jpg)
THE STEWARDESSES (Special Edition):
ARGH! I am sooooo mad at myself for buying this. Why? BECAUSE I already had a poster for the film--the colorful original release poster. When I bid on this, I wasn't sure I had one. Drat! This one is a different style, though. But still... I did NOT need it. The film, for those who do not know, had a very unusual release. It did not go out of release for years, but was continually changed over the course of the time it was in theaters. Things were added (This appears to be the X-rated version with insert shots added.) or removed (3D) throughout its run. It made a mint and launched the sub genre of sexy stewardess movies.

THE NIGHT RUNNER:
"Are mental parients turned loose too soon?" I'd never heard of this 1957 melodrama until I came across this poster. The tagline was fun. The poster not so much. Guessing the film isn't all that great either.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhksRTTCYqysUmHN_NEHQRRGDOL6nrWXfRkq6aU5rt_QXLjaQH9WGKsRrbNU4gc0QulLXMl5d7i85YqZbCzewH_uPBOmCo55yTEsG1Ln9bJJQwzAOG76DAv8-0dxIDYe2YqI2odomgpOWa_wB6OuM36oFl82M8W0aGfl3HFno3lA90cCGx-6afyVaaNOYQ/w466-h640/The%20Night%20Runner.jpg)
(THIS IS) SPINAL TAP:
This is a very funny movie. I've been passively looking for a copy for years. I'll never hang it up, but I wanted to add it to my collection. Unfortunately it is folded (There were rolled copies as well) and has an extra fold line. Grrr. It was inexpensive, so... SOLD.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZV2PB1hL_Jx4nkoOcG1Srm9nOAuOjI9hohqW98B2JgwLz4R75qzWKqnEce9tcwm3j0DHCNN1ZkiGZpu8BMGoajrnNQyDjCPVvXrtyCSJbz3iCuEzFzPMMVKzmEbiR6ApqEeoDUWpQY5VdwvUQcSUG-8v141QvPVganT0mfwrdL2kVxK1CG9hUOGU7QYY/w446-h640/Spinal%20Tap.jpg)
HATCHET FOR THE HONEYMOON:
Hooray! I've been passively looking for this one sheet for the 1970 Mario Bava flick for years as well. It's not that hard to find, but for some reason I keep "missing" it. It's not the greatest poster ever, but--it's for an Italian giallo classic. Another title off of the list...
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGmEHrb50lbe-6Zzg0IqhvG8GHHSXLW-41pHCp3Jj6uPhOD2K0eC67V-MJuqVJbdY8nubkRb-8IhpwPBjWO9SntlcMjYLCGCan7q9lx2HIEHTcMxGGU0GhLUMELuSHmDaAfSeFsAOaGr2nFcdU6QEaXuPITVVvU4s8ItRMqW0gR-M4UQ-oQL2txpQF4mI/w432-h640/A%20HATCHET%20FOR%20THE%20HONEYMOON.png)
THE CONQUEROR WORM:
This has nothing to do with Edgar Allen Poe despite saying it's his story, quoted bit on the poster, and using his title. Filmed as and released elsewhere as WITCHFINDER GENERAL, AIP slappped the Poe stuff on to fool theatergoers into thinking it was another of their Poe adaptations (which also usually starred Vincent Price).Not the case. Although the knock-off movie, MARK OF THE DEVIL, that came 2 years later is probably more well known (mostly because of it's marvelously exploitative ad campaign, stating the movie was the "first film rated V for violence" and the vomit bags that were handed out to all theater patrons), WITCHFINDER GENERAL, er...THE CONQUEROR WORM is the superior movie. I am fairly certain I already had one of these, but in the moment this was available, I wasn't sure. I snagged it just in case.

THE INVISIBLE BOY (1973 re-release):
I have one of these already, but when a cheap one comes your way--why not another? I have no idea if these posters are worth anything or not. It is a re-release, but it also features Robby the Robot! I've never seen the flick. It's probably horrendous, I'm guessing. Whatever...

E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL:
I'm pretty sure I have/had one of these at one time,. However, as I recall, it was pretty sun faded when I got it and , in the back of my mind, I've been watching for a better copy. I didn't really need this and know I'll probably never display it, but... it's E.T.!!!

ANDY WARHOL'S FRANKENSTEIN (aka FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN) (French re-release):
While not as nice as the British quad version, this French poster for the film is head and boobies, er...shoulders better than either the original or 80s re-release posters for the US release. Although 3-D is not mentioned, the image of the impaled Udo Kier and the guy reaching in through the window allude to 3-D.

FROM HELL IT CAME (3-sheet):
WOW-zer! I've been after a one sheet for this flick for ages. They have just always slipped my grasp and gotten too expensive. When this 3-sheet came along, I was thrilled. I'm not really a fan of the size, but I do have a few. They tend to be more reasonable, price-wise--and I had tried to get others in the past. This one, while not perfect, became mine! YOWZA!

CHEERS!!!
-
Another interesting batch here, MAGG. I didn't know about the Amityville and sexy stewardess stuff. I think I'll steer clear of the Amityville and check out the stewardess films someday.
-
NEO: Yes, steer clear of the Crap-O-Rama AMITYVILLE flicks. They really are god awful. The stewardess movies…. Aside from the one (which had a 3D blu ray release), there are many! Not all are very good. (Most probably are not very good—including the one I have the poster for..). Proceed with caution!
Thanks for visiting.
Cheers!
-
So many movies I have never heard of. Thanks for bringing them to light.

Really? That many? The AMITYVILLE movies I hardly think constitute real movies, but the others were new to you as well? Hmm.
Thanks for visiting the page.
CHEERS!

ET, Frankenstein and Spinal Tap, I know. The rest not.

-
I didn't know about those different Amityville films - the Bigfoot one looks fun!
I really like the art on 'From Hell it Came' - I had to google to see if the creature in the film looks like the poster...

Really, as pricey and hard to get as the one sheet is for FROM HELL IT CAME is, I thought more people knew about it. The tree monster is one of the all-time silliest!. Don’t count on AMITYVILLE BIGFOOT being any good. The poster is fun, but…
