Happy 2025!! As I write this, we are four days into the new year. I have not finished collecting whatever ten posters I’ll end up sharing with you yet, but I have a good start. I wanted to begin ASAP just in case I can acquire more posters and get this up before my surgery on January 22nd. It’s a BIG surgery (removing a third of my esophagus, all of my stomach, and re-routing my small intestine to the remaining portion of my esophagus). I might not survive it.
But, welcome anyway! I hope you enjoy them.
MOANA 2:
This was a free one. It has some dings...but was still free. Never saw the movie or the original. The poster shown below is NOT my copy.
RED ONE (Adv?):
I never saw this recent release either. I stumbled on this (inexpensive) poster and was fooled at first. I didn't realize it picture of a poster...and the trump l'oeil aspect of it appealed to me. So, I got it. (And did I mention it was inexpensive?)
DEATHROW GAMESHOW:
I’ve never seen this flick, but remember seeing the video box. It looked stupid/silly, so I never bothered to give it a rent. I had no idea it had ever played theatrically. I stumbled on this one sheet and it wasn’t all that pricey. Why not? I later realized that it’s directed by Mark Pirro, who is also responsible for things like NUDIST COLONY OF THE DEAD, A POLISH VAMPIRE IN BURBANK, and CURSE OF THE QUEERWOLF (where a gypsy sees the mark of the pansygram in the palm of Lawrence Smallbutt. I’m not making it up!)
THE DEVIL’S LIGHT:
I have no idea what this is, but dug the creepy-odd poster. Is that blood coming out of her eye? Is it hair? Or did the artist just have trouble making it look like the blood (if that’s what it is) is running down her face? Hmm. This may be a European poster for the lame PREY FOR THE DEVIL. I DID see that, having to drive an HOUR away to do so. (And an hour back…) As I vaguely recall, there WAS something about hair at one point, but I really don’t remember what or much about the movie at all…
DEVIL’S DUE:
How interesting. In my last post of new purchases, I had a poster for a 70’s porn flick called DEVIL’S DUE. I doubt these are related, but you never know. Non-porn remake? Probably not, but I do not know what this movie is. Never heard of it. It obviously never came to our little island theater, unfortunately. It looks freaky cool though. Eeek!
HAUNTED HONEYMOON:
For the longest time, I thought I had one of these. Looking through my collection recently, I don’t think I did. I’ve never seen the movie (but should???). I love Wilder, Radner, and DeLuise (here playing a woman? Hilarious!). I love the old school look of it. This is one I can see hanging on my walls.
THE POSSESSION OF HANNAH GRACE:
I think I’ve seen this. On Netflix??? Something similar maybe? (Perhaps I’m thinking of THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE??) But this played in theaters? Hmmm. The poster has a real spine-tingling nightmarish vibe to it. I totally dig it. Eek!
OPERA:
I do not quite understand how this printed-for-foreign-audiences Italian poster for Dario Argento's 1987 flick OPERA was less than $40 ($39.89), but I snapped it up. Initially I thought it must be a fake or some mass marketed promotional poster. But no. The seller is a trusted member of the poster collecting community, Dale Dilts. I am surprised and delighted he offered this (at such a great price)!
…THESE ARE THE DAMNED:
I’ve seen this poster a few times…but recently stumbled on it again. I’ve never seen this flick but the poster image—Zowie! This looks amazing. (It probably sucks though, right?) I was so enamored with the image (who doesn’t love a strange doll-clutching green girl with glowing yellow eyes?), I had to get it. Also know as just THE DAMNED, I found a copy for sale on Blu Ray. Hot diggity! I hope it’s good.
TERRIFIER 3 (Italian):
I have tried and tried and TRIED to score any bit of original, theatrical paper from the TERRIFIER series. The closest I had gotten was the local theater (which actually showed the movie--shockingly) owner printed me up an 11x17 poster he got from the distributor. I haven't shared it--because it doesn't seem "authentic" since the theater owner printed it himself. There are a LOT of fakes out there, but I am confident that this Italian one (I'd rather it be in English, but...) is a real one as it was also sold by Dale Dilts, trusted poster community member. I have NOT seen this third film yet. (I was too sick from chemo when it briefly played here, but I have seen the first two...) I do have the Blu Ray though--which I'll get to sometime after my surgery.
And that is ten. I'm as amazed (if not more so) than you that I came back with more posters so quickly. I guess this is part of my fight against my cancer; trying to stay active and vibrant--at least in the poster collecting community--as long as possible. I have ZERO business buying posters. I was basically debt free (but also on a very limited income) up until my cancer diagnosis. Now the medical bills are piling up. If I have to go back into debt, I might as well have a little (reasonably priced) fun while I do it...and enjoy some new posters!
THANK YOU for visiting, as always. Hopefully I'll be back!
I do like the artwork design on the These Are The Damned poster. The Australian poster artwork was more toned down due to censorship guidelines. It was just titled The Damned when screened here.
I looked up the Australian poster and...yes, it IS toned down...WAY down. Nothing about it would make me want to see the film. Jinkies. The Blu Ray I found of the film is also just called THE DAMNED. I hope it will be good.
Thanks for the well wishes in regards to my surgery. All of my pre-qualifying medical tests are done (as of yesterday). I just have three more doctor appointments this week (including one with the surgeon to go over the surgery plan), AND THEN I GO UNder the knife on the 22nd. Hopefully I'll make it back here afterwards. Cheers!
Welcome back! Yes, I survived my surgery and am STILL collecting (aka addicted to) movie posters. I have no money and am now swimming in medical debt. I still face cancer treatments in the months (and years?) ahead. I have NO BUSINESS wasting money on posters—-but I’ll be dead a lot longer than I’ll ever be alive…. And I realize I’m coming to the end of my road sooner rather than later. Why the hell NOT indulge and enjoy my passion? Hopefully my future heirs can cash in on what I have collected, too. It’s a win/win situation. Ha!
Here’s what I have this time:
HEART EYES (promotional valentines):
I never got to see HEART EYES, a valentine-themed horror movie that came (but not in my neck of the woods) and went with little fanfare just a few weeks ago. While I realize this is not a poster and is instead a promotional item for a movie (In the past, I have included several promotional things in lieu of posters, such as a bird mask promoting THE BIRDS, various vomit bags, a rubber coin for William Castle’s ZOTZ!, assorted 3-D glasses, etc.), this was the last item I needed to have 10 new things to post.I’ll eventually get around to checking out HEART EYES, but I’m not expecting much. The Valentine’s were probably given out free in theaters. (Not here, as it never came here.) I get it. However, they weren’t that expensive and they were novel, so why not? Besides, as I was poster shopping, I realized that after 47 or 48 years of collecting, there wasn’t a lot out there, that I could afford and that interested me, that I didn’t already have in my collection.
A LONG RIDE FROM HELL:
This is clearly a poster for a western…a spaghetti western at that. I am no fan of westerns, so why buy the poster? I was a fan of the peplum, sword and sandal (or, as I call them, Hercules) movies (even if Hercules wasn’t in them). Steve Reeves was the original HERCULES. He made several peplum films (and not all were good). I think have copies of all of the Reeves posters…except for this, his final film. It came up and was cheap. Even though it was for a western, I thought why not?
SCANNERS II:
While I liked the original, the sequel to SCANNERS was pretty bad. But I guess it did well enough for four other SCANNERS flicks to follow. This poster is less than exciting. I bought it because I have the poster for the original and some of the direct-to/video sequels. What I never realized about SCANNERS II is that it ever played theatrically. I’m sure this snoozer of a poster packed them into the theaters…NOT! You’d think that with a crappy sequel they would have at least tried harder with the poster. Hmm…
THE FIVE AT THE FUNERAL:
I’ve never heard of this one. Apparently it is some regional horror flick from the 70s that may never see the light of day again. I was drawn to the wide eyes with the cloaked figure before them swinging a scythe. The poster was inexpensive and a curiosity, so why not?
WONKA:
I am a huge fan of the original WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. The recent prequel, WONKA, was okay… but there were definitely parts about it I was not fond of or that seemed too much of a retread. That being said, it’s still part of the larger WONKA picture universe and I am grateful that the makers bothered at all.
I stumbled on this International one sheet and, although it’s rather simple, I liked it better than the oddly photoshopped US one sheet. I didn’t need it and it was more expensive than I would have preferred, but I am anxious to get back to posting posters following my surgery. So… I just got it.
WOLF MAN:
I know that this new take on the classic werewolf tale was a box office failure. I didn’t get to see it, but the entire storyline was pretty much given away in the preview (which I saw with the disappointing NOSFERATU). However, I ran across a copy of one of the posters for it…and it was relatively inexpensive, so…
DEMONOID:
This movie is AWFUL. I saw it back in the VHS days. Hated it. But when I stumbled upon the poster again recently, I couldn’t help but dig the artwork. This is a clear cut case of the poster being better than the film.
2069: A SEX ODYSSEY;
Oops! I had a poorer quality copy of this poster …and I thought I was getting myself an upgrade. It’s just that I now realize I got another upgraded copy almost a YEAR ago… and forgot all about it. As much a crappy movie as this is, the poster is cool, which is why I wanted a better copy. Ha!
IT'S A SMALL WORLD:
I saw this movie several years ago. Although my memory of it is completely gone, I do remember liking it enough to pursue the poster. PLUS, although it's not a horror flick--it is still kind of gimmicky (by featuring a midget), and is a movie from one of my faves, William Castle. I have this on disk somewhere. Perhaps I'll dig it up and give it a re-watch.
ORGY OF THE DEAD:
Finally… a US one sheet for an Ed Wood directed movie. While I do have a few other Ed Wood one sheets, they’re not for any of Wood’s core movies. (JAIL BAIT, while written and directed by Wood, isn’t well known. THE BRIDE AND THE BEAST is a written by credit only, a few of the A.C. Stephens movies that were also writing credits only, etc…) While I may never have a US one sheet for PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, BRIDE OF THE MONSTER, or GLEN OR GLENDA, at least I scored an ORGY OF THE DEAD. It’s far from perfect…with staple pulls and other damage… but I’ll probably never have one unless I drop my standards a bit. Heck, it’s missing a small piece at the corner…but I’m missing a stomach now myself. I can’t complain too loudly. Ha!
And that’s it for now. Thank you for visiting. See you next time.
As usual, a great selection. I particularly like 2069, Demonoid and a bit of Ed Wood Jr at the end,
Most importantly, glad to hear you survived the surgery and have emerged with a positive outlook (though with some ongoing challenges).
Rick! As low budgeted as this post was, I’m glad there were a few things that still caught your eye. Thank you for the kind words. Yes, there are many challenges before me at the moment. My insides are still rattled and confused., but the pain is subsiding at least… Thanks for visiting my page. Cheers
Rick has expressed his thoughts somewhat similar to what I had intended to say regarding your health concerns. All the best for the future.
It is good to see you back on board involved in what you enjoy doing.
It has always been interesting over the years to have been introduced to a lot of obscure films that I was unaware of through their posters
Condo! Hi there! Thank you also for your kind words. Yes. I am thrilled that I can still be part of the poster community—one of the biggest joys in my life has been my poster hobby. I’m glad some of the schlock I and others have shared have opened some doors and introduced you to the obscurities that are out there. Not all of it is good (looking at you, DEMONOID), but there are also some marvelous hidden gems waiting for your discovery of them. Cheers
Welcome back!!! Ugh... It's so hard for me to do anything any more. I thought posters would take me out of myself--if only for a few minutes.They are usually a great distraction. But not now. I have too many aches and pains from my surgery. The severe neuropathey that has developed in my hands and fingers makes handlimg them difficult. Writing out commentary on these pages is painful and I make so many mistakes. But I still managed to get 10 to share with you. It's a mixture of trash and treasures. I hopr there is something hrtr you'll rnjoy...
THE FOREST:
This movie is garbage I’ll say that up front. But somehow this 80’ fright flick’s poster works. (The poster is better than the film.) I already have one but…
I AM DIVINE:
Several years ago (2012), I “backed” (via Kickstarter or one of those sites) this documentary about Harris Glenn Milstead, aka Divine. John Waters has always been one of my favorite filmmakers. Divine starred in just about all of his movies through the original HAIRSPRAY. Of course, I had to back this documentary. I had been looking for a copy of this poster for years. I had seen French and Spanish versions, but I wanted one in English. The few I had seen in English proved to be impossible to get… at least for me. I can’t believe I actually scored this one. I was the only bidder, too. How is that possible?
THE MAD ROOM:
This was cheap, but that’s not the only reason I bought this. The poster is rather unexciting, but that’s okay. I saw this movie as a kid. It was weird… the brother and sister of Stella Stevens are released from a psych facility after being accused of killing their parents. Strange, bizarre drama ensues. Shelly Winters is also in the film as an older woman that Stella Stevens is a companion to. I need to see this again. I don’t remember much…but I was just kind of weirded out by the movie as a kid.
ZOMBIE:
Not that I needed it (I didn’t. I already have one or two… OOPS!), but stupid and impoverished me can’t seem to NOT buy posters now and again that I already have if I see them going at a decent price! (See THE FOREST above.) By now, everyone knows that ZOMBIE was an unauthorized Italian sequel (prequel?) to George Romero’s 1979 classic, DAWN OF THE DEAD (which was released as ZOMBI in Italy. This film, ZOMBIE, was originally released in Italy as ZOMBI 2). Whatever…it’s still one of the all-time great zombie shockers!
THE BLIND DEAD (aka TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD):
Oh my stars! I totally didn’t expect to get this, but I’m glad I did. I’ve been after the US release one sheet for a long time. They are surprisingly hard to find despite being such a boring (and colorless) poster. I’m not even sure the image is from the movie. I saw the film years ago… And really need to revisit it. The image of the girl… Is she supposed to be a zombie? As I recall, the only zombies in the movie were those of the blind Templar monks. I think the distributor was trying to cash in on NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, and used some random picture to fool audiences into thinking they were seeing a more gruesome movie than they actually were. Certainly a different kind of movie than they were seeing. The BLIND DEAD movies are fun, but not your average zombie flick. This poster also confounds me a bit as it is apparently rolled. This is from the very early 70s. Although there have been several rolled posters over the years, rolled one sheets weren’t really a thing until the mid 80s. It just seems odd that such a low-budget, imported horror flick from the early 70s would be rolled. But apparently it is. That’s an unexpected bonus, I suppose. Thank you, eMovie.
This was an unexpected surprise. LADY FRANKENSTEIN is only mildly interesting (despite the sleaze factor of Lady —who is no “lady”—Frankenstein using the creature as her own personal “distraction”. Oh my!), but for some reason it has always intrigued me. Is it because “star” Joseph Cotten dies in the first few minutes? Or featured “star” Mickey (Mikey?) Hargitay (aka Mr Jayne Mansfield and Mariska’s father) only appears in it briefly as well. I had never heard of star Sarah Bay (as she s billed in the US version of the film and it’s one sheet), but here she is billed under her real name, Rosalba Neri. Checking her IMDB, I see that she’s done plenty…lots of exploitation and even some Hercules-like movies. Nice Euro (Italian?) art on this one, I think. Why not?
THE DOLL SQUAD:
Zowie! I know some may be scratching their head, wondering why I’d be so excited about this poster. Not only is it for a film by B-movie legend Ted V. Mikels, but have you ever seen this flick? Oh my stars! I just saw it for the first time not so long ago…and it was B-movie bliss! Mikel’s has said DOLL SQUAD was the unofficial inspiration for CHARLIE’S ANGELS. I can see that to an extent. To me this seemed more like a low-rent CHARLIE’S ANGELS meets JAMES BOND (without a James Bond) kind of flick. I thought it was kind of a hoot. I used to go to these has-been celebrity conventions in the LA area. I had seen the name Francine York (Who???) on the roster of some of the conventions several times. I had no idea who she was. Her name never clicked on my radar (other than on the celebrity show list). And here she was, in all of her red-headed, cotton candy-like, fluffed out flip ‘do as the leader of the DOLL SQUAD! I looked her up and, curses… I found out she has already passed on. No more chance to see her at any celebrity shows now… Dang!
Tura Satana, from Russ Meyer’s FASTER PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL!, is also in the flick. Zowie! She’s long-gone, too. Surprisingly and unfortunately, although she’s in it most of the time, Tura doesn’t do that much in the movie.
There are other familiar faces in the flick, but the real star is the cheesy, overly ambitious film itself. This is grondhouse gold. I’m soooooo glad I scored a poster for it. Hooray!
THE NAVY VS THE NIGHT MONSTERS:
This is a turd of a movie, but what a fun poster (another case of the poster being better than the movie) and it stars Mamie Van Doren! I have long, long, L – O – N – G wanted this poster. I can’t believe I finally have one. It’s not in the best of conditions, but I’m OK with that. If I don’t get one now, I may never get one. I’ve had posters in worse shape. I’m sure look nice framed behind plexiglass.
TRICKS OF THE TRADE:
Damn!!!! This is the one poster in this batch that I HAD to have. But, GRRR! People kept bidding against me. Noooo! If you’ve been following my poster collecting, you know by now that I have a strange and curious affinity for Andy Milligan films. He was an awful filmmaker, but for whatever reason I am drawn to his work. TRICKS OF THE TRADE is one of the films he made that been “lost.” Allegedly, the son of the producer melted down all the existing prints for their silver value.
This poster is apparently fairly rare.I have only seen one copy once before. It was on a Heritage Auction, not long after they started their practice of doing an auction after their weekly auction closed. I really wanted to get it, but couldn’t see bidding it up on the weekly auction and then having to bid again in the secondary auction, so I just held off until after the original auction was over. Well, I didn’t quite get it that you had to bid in the original auction to get into the secondary auction. So even though I had every intention of bidding it up in the secondary auction. I was unable to get in. The poster sold for a song. Dammit! It’s also one of the few non-horror posters of Milligan’s in color.
Jump to a few weeks ago… There is the poster again on eMoviePoster.com. I decided that there was no way I was going to let this one slipped through my fingers. I watched for weeks to see how the pricing was going. It stayed about $30. Yowza! Then, the day of the auction was going to close, it jumped up to $91. I was going to make my move just before the five minute mark and suddenly it was at $188. (Swear words!!!) Determined to get it, I bid and bid and bid...up and up and UP. I did get it but for a lot more than I had planned on spending. (MORE SWEAR WORDS!!!) Oh well, it’s finally mine. But DAMN!!!
THE DEADLY MANTIS:
Zowie! I pretty much gave up on trying to get one of these ages ago. And…here one winds up in my lap! (It’s in great condition, too!) I don’t know why, but I always call this movie THE GIANT MANTIS instead of THE DEADLY MANTIS. Even as I was writing its name in bold letters above, I originally wrote GIANT instead of DEADLY. I wonder why the incorrect title has been stuck in my head for years. It’s probably because most of these drive-in flicks with giant monsters in them were done by Bert I. Gordon, a.k.a. Mr. B. I. G. He did not do this movie. So perhaps, as a nod to Mr. B.I.G., I have mentally added the word GIANT in place of DEADLY to the title. It may not be a Gordon movie, but it kind of feels like one. The poster is fantastic and I’m happy to have it.
And that’s my 10 for this time. THANK YOU for visiting. I hope youi'll come back IF there is a next time... CHEERS!
The Navy Vs the Night Monsters and of course The Deadly Mantis are great designs and appeal to me. The poster artists imagination ran rampant.
Hi Hondo. Thanks for the note and the visit to the page. Yes, I agree with you. I really like NAVY VERSUS THE NIGHT MONSTER and THE DEADLY MANTIS. I hope to get them up on my walls at some point.
I hope all is well and, once again, I appreciate you stopping by the thread. Cheers!
Hello, and welcome back. While this edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is less than exciting, it’s still all new… at least to me. Because it’s less than exciting, it should be an easy-breezy, quick-o read. There’s not much to see here. I’m not kidding. So let’s get this over with, shall we? Here we go…
DUNE PART TWO (Advance):
This poster and the three below it, were sent to me by friends. My friend Gillian’s husband Jason works for UPS. Now and again he gets shipments of movie posters from studios that are sent to a defunct movie theater. The instructions on the box apparently say to destroy contents if the addressee is undeliverable. But when Jason gets them, he saves some for me. This is the latest surprise batch I got earlier this week.They’re not great… Certainly not anything I would have purchased myself… But they were free and it was nice of them to send them to me. I never saw the new DUNE movie or the sequel. I know they were huge hits. This poster does nothing for me. Does it say anything to the DUNE fans? Whatever…
THE FALL GUY:
Another freebie. I’m not entirely sure, but I believe this movie was a huge flop when it came out. I didn’t bother to see it. I wasn’t really a fan of the original TV show it was spawned from either.
AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM:
Yet another free poster and another movie I never saw. I never even saw the original AQUAMAN. I’m not a superhero kind of guy. It didn’t appeal to me at all. I have no idea if this was a hit or not. I wasn’t even aware they were making AQUAMAN movies anymore.
FURIOSA:
This is the last of the posters that I was gifted with. I never saw this MAD MAX spinoff. Well, I have seen the original trilogy, and I believe I saw the one that came out a couple of years ago with Charlize Theron (FURY ROAD). I just had no interest in this one. Oh well. It was a free poster. I can’t complain.
SPELLCASTER (video):
This was an unexpected surprise. I’ve never seen this horror movie starring 80s popstar Adam Ant. One of my favorite boutique DVD companies, either Vinegar Syndrome or Severin, had made it available again, not too long ago. I don’t know if I have it and it’s in a pile somewhere to watch or if I didn’t bother to get it. I haven’t seen it still. This is just a curio. It was cheap, under $10 and with free shipping.. It’s just a video of poster. I don’t think there was a theatrical release for it. I’m not sure. The poster looks like it has some permanent roles in it. I’m hoping that, if I frame it, the plexiglass pushing on, it will remove the rolls. If not, like I said, it was cheap. Whoopie do.
IT’S ALIVE (International):
The next few posters are posters I picked up to pad out shipping from an overseas seller. I believe I already have a copy of this poster. I’m not sure if I like this poster or the alternate one featuring a baby carriage with this claw arm hanging out of it better. The title alone, in its bloody font, makes this poster worthwhile. I haven’t seen the IT’S ALIVE movies in a long time. I wonder if they’re worth a revisit? Hmm…
WILLOW (International):
I’m sure I saw this movie, but I don’t remember it. When I decided to grab this…to pad out the postage… I didn’t think I’d seen this poster before. An international poster? It seemed that way. When I decided to buy this, I mistook WILLOW for LEGEND. Oops! You’re probably wondering how I could do that. Well, Just like I’m not into superheroes,I’m not much of a fantasy person either.
ANDY WARHOL’S FRANKENSTEIN (German):
I actually already have a copy of this poster. I picked it up, not only to help pad out the cost of postage, but with the thought of reselling it at some point. The copy I’ve got seemed to have been kind of pricey, but I’m not quite sure. I hope I didn’t spend too much on buying this copy. Oops.
PHANTASM (French):
Another poster padding out postage. I dig the original. PHANTASM. I picked up this French copy as an investment. Hopefully…. The image really doesn’t work for me, but it wasn’t very expensive. Hopefully someone will dig it if and when I ever sell it.
DOOMED TO DIE (aka EATEN ALIVE) (French):
This is the poster I wanted most of all… But at the moment I have no idea why I wanted it so badly. EATEN ALIVE (better known here as DOOMED TO DIE) came in the middle of the cannibal sub genre frenzy of the 1970s and 1980s. Unfortunately, it is one of the least interesting. The US poster is so lame, I never bothered to get it. I do have a British quad though. I like that one much better. The quad, like this French poster, makes it look as if the movie is more shocking and graphic than it is. Directed by Umberto Lenzi (who kicked off the cannibal craze with THE MAN FROM DEEP RIVER aka SACRIFICE! in 1972), this 1980 is rather cannibal lite. The cast features Ivan Rassimov and Me Me Lai.who appeared together in MAN FROM DEEP RIVER. Mel Ferrer is also along for a paycheck. The most interesting casting is that of lead Robert Kerman. Kerman appeared in two other cannibal shockers; the infamous CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST and CANNIBAL FEROX aka MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY. But it’s not his appearance in these gut munchers that makes Kerman’s appearance so notable. Kerman, under the name R. Bolla as well as several others, appeared in many, many adult movies while trying to carve out a career as a “legitimate “ actor. He appeared in such adult fare as DEBBIE DOES DALLAS, CORPORATE ASSETS, and SOCIETY AFFAIRS. Once word of his porno side hustle got out, it was bye bye acting career… Yes, even the Italian sleaze meisters wanted him gone!
Did I need this poster? No. Am I glad I got it? Not really. I don’t know why I fixated on this one. It’s nothing I need. I will never hang it.Oh well.
And that my friend is 10. Short, simple, and over with. I already have a good start on the next entry and may already have enough posters to fill it. However, I don’t think I’m all that much better after my surgery. Although I no longer have chemo, I still have immunotherapy. I don’t know what it is, but I have very little energy and am finding myself in bed more often than not. That helped contribute to the blood clot that I have recently been diagnosed with and have had to go on blood thinners for. I’m just not doing well. I think I will soon end my collecting days. As I stated, the next post is pretty much done, except for the laying out and the writing of it. I think I have the posters for it. There is an auction coming up that has several bucket list items. I can’t afford them. But if I can somehow get them, I think I’ll be done. I’m still going through my rolls and boxes and pulling out posters. I’m framing, throwing others in portfolios, and deciding which ones I can part with. My house is such a mess right now with posters everywhere. I just don’t have a whole lot of strength to deal with it at the moment.
Blah blah blah. I’ll shut up now. Thanks for visiting the page. Cheers.
Hello. Welcome back. As I told you last time, I had enough posters for another quick post. I bought a lot of, mostly, crap between this post and the previous one. For the most part, it was cheapish. Although most of them, I realize, I will never hang and will probably end up getting rid of. There’s nothing all that fabulous here. The first two especially are pretty lame. Take a look or don’t. Like the last batch, I am less than proud of this post, so let’s quickly run through and get it done..,
BEYOND DARKNESS (video):
This cheap-o video poster is not much. Known in its home country, Italy, as La Casa 5, it’s better known around the world as BEYOND DARKNESS. The flick tells the story of s priest and his family who move into a house where, unbeknownst to them 20 witches were burned to death. AMITYVILLE HORROR-type phenomena appears.For years I got this flick confused with SUPERSTITION, which is also an over-the-top haunted house flick about a family being terrorized by the ghost of a witch. SUPERSTITION is better (not by a lot, but…), but eh… this was cheap!
BRAM STOKER’S THE MUMMY (video):
I know nothing of this movie. It was just another cheapo. I don’t know why I bought it. I’ll never hang out. Louis Gossett Jr must’ve really needed the work…
MOONRAKER (Advance):
I have the regular MOONRAKER one sheet, but I didn’t have this advance one sheet. I do love my James Bond movies, but this one is one of my least favorites. It got two slapsticky towards the end. I didn’t need it but as a completist (or, at least, I try to be), even though I will never hang it, I thought it would be nice to have.
THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE:
I didn’t need this. I probably won’t ever hang it. It’s a good movie and I like the colors on this poster, but sometimes.
DEATH OF A UNICORN:
I’ve heard of this movie, but of course it never came here.I know it’s a horror/comedy, or at least that’s what I’ve been led to believe. There are three 1 sheets for this movie. I pick them all up, because… Why not? (I found this—and the next 4 posters after it—on Dale Dilts’ eBay page, MoviePosters4U. He’s a known and trusted dealer.)
DEATH OF A UNICORN:
I’m not really sure what this movie is about. The creatures on this poster, and the one above, certainly look nothing like a unicorn to me.
DEATH OF A UNICORN:
I think I’d like to see this movie if I’m able to. Has anyone seen it? Worth the effort? It’s an A24 movie. That’s at least promising.
HELL OF A SUMMER:
I know nothing about this movie. I do like the throwback, quasi- FRIDAY THE 13TH vibe the poster has. The tagline ”Pack your body bag” also works for me. I didn’t need this. And I would rather have a poster with artwork as opposed to the typical photo assemblage, but no one asked me…
UNTIL DAWN:
Zowie! I know nothing about this movie at all. The artwork, suggesting an hourglass with a house at the top and skulls raining down like sand in the bottom half, I find intriguing. It’s probably gonna be crap, but… the “Every night is a different nightmare” tagline is tempting.
THE GHOST THAT WALKS ALONE (linen):
I had never heard of this movie before. It looks like a tame, silly (low budget) murder mystery made to look like a comic horror flick. It’s old school and obscure enough to be interesting. I’m sorry I had to use the EMovie image. I’m sure they sent me a good copy, but in my condition I don’t what I did with it. Oh well… No big deal.
And that is 10. Not the most exciting batch I know, but it’s still better than the bulk of the previous post. Anyway, that’s all I have. Thanks for visiting the page and taking a look.

I thought you would like to know some information regarding the male star of this film Arthur Lake.
He is certainly best known for playing Dagwood Bumstead in the long running ''Blondie'' film series (1938/1950). He also acted in a ''Blondie'' radio series (1939 to 1950) and also in a ''Blondie'' T,V. series in 1957,
THANK YOU SO MUCH for pointing that out. I was aware that Lake was Bumstead and totally meant to add that in. But in my rush to get my post done, i unfortunately forgot. Your note will be of great interest to others who stumble on to the page, THANK YOU again!
Welcome back… Oh lordy, did I get myself in a pickle. Oops! Oh crap. And you’d think I would have LEARNED MY LESSON after all of this time. Eeek!
There was a recent auction that had lots and lots of things I would love to have, including about a half dozen bucket list titles. Well, I went through and bid on a lot of them during the pre-auction bidding, never expecting to get any of them. Oops. I got several (and as I write this opening bit, the auction is still going—with my bids still on many items!) Yikes! We will see what happens when the dust clears, but UGH! I screwed myself silly. Let’s take a look at the damage… oh my! (But these first four titles are NOT part of the auction fiasco.)
ED WOOD (Retrospective ):
Golly, I do NOT even remember buying this. I noticed it in my eBay purchases. What??? Hmm. Yes, it is a thing I would buy, …but I really was surprised to see I had purchased it. And yikes! It’s a HUGE French g-r-a-n-d-e (Sorry T) poster. Geez! Imago having a giant Ed Wood starring down at you when le you’re sleeping. Eek!
COBWEB:
This isn’t a new purchase. I was going through some of my tubes of posters, putting them in my flat file, when I came across this poster. I had no memory of buying this, but I think I must have gotten it during chemo when I was just soooo out of it. I had never (at least I don’t think so. I don’t see it listed on any of my pages.) gotten around to posting this apparently. I don’t know why I bought this unless I bought before watching the flick. The movie was soooo lame.
BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR (video):
I already have both styles of the original RE-ANIMATOR one sheet. Normally, I don’t buy posters for sequels unless their particular series I enjoy, such as the James Bond films, or the larger horror franchises, etc. When I decided to pick up the poster for BEYOND RE-ANIMATOR (See below), I decided I should get one for the first sequel, BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR. Why leave a gap between the first and the third? As far as I know, BRIDE never had a theatrical release or a one sheet to go with it. There was just the video poster. I didn’t really care for BRIDE. It wasn’t nearly as good as the first film. Oh well, here’s the poster… (And it has occurred to me now that video posters are kind of a relic of the past as well. I should’ve bought more of them. They used to be so cheap.)
BEYOND RE-ANIMATOR (Spanish):
I had no idea this third serving of the RE-ANIMATOR series existed until I saw this poster. What little research I’ve done seems to indicate that the film never had a US theatrical release and was only released in Spain and Thailand. I’ve seen posters for both. Surely it must’ve played elsewhere, but I don’t see any evidence of that. Of course, the way things are going direct video and or streaming now, it might not have played anywhere else. I think it was the fact that I’ve never seen the movie — that curiosity about it— that prompted me to buy the poster. Whoopie… (Translating the tagline for you: ‘Welcome to a world where death is only the beginning.” At least the title is in English!)
Okay, truth be told, this did NOT have a bid waiting on it. As time was counting down on this item (only the 2nd or 3rd piece in the auction I was watching thus far), I bid stupidly….and it became mine. Don’t get me wrong. I love Boris Karloff and I’m always thrilled to pick up a one sheet featuring him. However, this looks to be some crime drama (instead of horror) and with Karloff awkwardly playing Asian. Hmm…
CALTIKI:
Do I know what this movie is? No. During the second day of the this big two-day auction, nothing I had pre-bid on became mine. Hooray! (Well, I would have loved that original GODZILLA—$6,000 or the PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE—$3,250, but I had already shot my poster wad accidentally—Story below—not that I could have afforded either one of them anyway…). I wanted to avoid mishaps with my phone and accidental bidding. (I’m telling you, just wait. The story is below.) Instead, I busied myself putting posters away in one of my flat file drawers. The phone was on my bed and I would glance at it from time to time as I worked. One time I glanced down and saw a tiny image of this poster on the chopping block. CALTIKI? I’d never heard of it. What is it? I tried to make out the image, but I couldn’t quite do it. CALTIKI? Did it have anything to do with “tiki” in general? There wasn’t time to do any research. The end of bidding was counting down. It didn’t seem that high priced (always seeming to forget the fees this auction house tacks on…D’oh!) and I blindly pushed the bid button. Oops!
Although I still don’t know anything about the film ( I have NOT had the heart to look it up.), having finally LOOKED at a larger version of the poster, the city being crushed and tank-like thing on the poster certainly do NOT scream “tiki”. It LOOKS like a ripoff of THE BLOB, if anything. Drat! Now I’m stuck with a poster I really have no interest in (much like the COBWEB and ED WOOD posters, but those weren’t nearly as expensive)! Grr!
BOWERY AT MIDNIGHT:
Here’s the first of my pre-bid boo-boos… As with Karloff, I also dig my Bela Lugosi posters. With this one, I mistakenly thought it was another film with the East Side Kids (who eventually morphed into the Bowery Boys) along the lines of GHOSTS ON THE LOOSE and SPOOKS RUN WILD which starred Lugosi and the “Kids”. WRONG! (And I clearly have NOT seen the movie thus far in my life). For a second I thought someone had outbid me, but nope. When the end of the auction came around, it was mine. I’m not super unhappy, but…it wouldn’t have been my first choice of things to buy.
KING KONG (1957 re-release):
Argh!!! Don’t get me wrong. I love KING KONG (my fave!) and I dig this poster, it’s just that…well, I already have it. I bid on soooooo many things (and was fortunately outbid on most of them). The reason I bid on this one the amount I did is that, when I got my original several years ago, it went for so much more than this one was going for (and this looked to possibly be in better condition). So I bid HALF of what I paid for my original one…thinking for sure I’d be outbid. Nope. (#%$&!!!)
REVENGE OF THE CREATURE:
Oh God! This one killed me. I had NOT bid on this one before the auction. It was in my watch list, sure… but it was already well beyond my limit. Sometime right around 11am, while the auction was occurring, my mom was texting me, wanting to know what I was doing. I told her I was watching a poster auction and some pieces were going for insanely high (as viewed from my wallet, anyway…). She wanted to see it. She was bugging me. Was it on TV or some web site? How could she see it?
I was trying to watch the auctions and text with my mom and figure out how to get her to the auction page. I was flipping back and forth between screens and ARGH. Somehow right as this was closing and I was flipping back over to the auction page, my finger accidentally hit the “bid” button. Oh sh*t!!!! No one out bid me. Sold…
This is a poster I wanted/needed… but NOT in this shape and definitely NOT for this much money. Let that be a lesson to you, kids. Know where your fingers are and what they are doing at ALL times. Eeek!
ZOMBIES ON BROADWAY:
Believe it or not, this was one of the “bucket list” posters I dreamed of having. Mind you. I knew if I was going to have any luck getting one, it was going to be this one as it is on the cheaper side of the ones I wanted most of all. (Cheaper being a relative term. This still went for more than I wish it had.) I had bid on this early (as I had for several others) and kept my fingers crossed. When it was time for the live auction, the bids came…and the price went up and up. Fortunately my high bid made it with $10 to spare!
And that’s it. OMG… way, WAY too expensive for my blood. I had to dig deep into my piddly (and dwindling rapidly) savings to cough up the money for these. Crap!!! I’m going to die a total pauper surrounded by expensive paper. Ha!
Anyway, thanks for stopping by and having a look. I've got to go and try to revive my finances somehow...ARGH! Cheers!
Some very nice poster designs shown in both Parts one and two.
The original Australian daybill of The Fatal Hour which was adapted from the U.S.A. insert poster artwork, although lacking a little in images and credits, and even in its simplicity, is a very effective looking poster design I thought I would share it here.
Comments
DEATHROW GAMESHOW:
I’ve never seen this flick, but remember seeing the video box. It looked stupid/silly, so I never bothered to give it a rent. I had no idea it had ever played theatrically. I stumbled on this one sheet and it wasn’t all that pricey. Why not? I later realized that it’s directed by Mark Pirro, who is also responsible for things like NUDIST COLONY OF THE DEAD, A POLISH VAMPIRE IN BURBANK, and CURSE OF THE QUEERWOLF (where a gypsy sees the mark of the pansygram in the palm of Lawrence Smallbutt. I’m not making it up!)
THE DEVIL’S LIGHT:
I have no idea what this is, but dug the creepy-odd poster. Is that blood coming out of her eye? Is it hair? Or did the artist just have trouble making it look like the blood (if that’s what it is) is running down her face? Hmm. This may be a European poster for the lame PREY FOR THE DEVIL. I DID see that, having to drive an HOUR away to do so. (And an hour back…) As I vaguely recall, there WAS something about hair at one point, but I really don’t remember what or much about the movie at all…
HAUNTED HONEYMOON:
For the longest time, I thought I had one of these. Looking through my collection recently, I don’t think I did. I’ve never seen the movie (but should???). I love Wilder, Radner, and DeLuise (here playing a woman? Hilarious!). I love the old school look of it. This is one I can see hanging on my walls.
OPERA:
I do not quite understand how this printed-for-foreign-audiences Italian poster for Dario Argento's 1987 flick OPERA was less than $40 ($39.89), but I snapped it up. Initially I thought it must be a fake or some mass marketed promotional poster. But no. The seller is a trusted member of the poster collecting community, Dale Dilts. I am surprised and delighted he offered this (at such a great price)!
…THESE ARE THE DAMNED:
I’ve seen this poster a few times…but recently stumbled on it again. I’ve never seen this flick but the poster image—Zowie! This looks amazing. (It probably sucks though, right?) I was so enamored with the image (who doesn’t love a strange doll-clutching green girl with glowing yellow eyes?), I had to get it. Also know as just THE DAMNED, I found a copy for sale on Blu Ray. Hot diggity! I hope it’s good.
TERRIFIER 3 (Italian):
I have tried and tried and TRIED to score any bit of original, theatrical paper from the TERRIFIER series. The closest I had gotten was the local theater (which actually showed the movie--shockingly) owner printed me up an 11x17 poster he got from the distributor. I haven't shared it--because it doesn't seem "authentic" since the theater owner printed it himself. There are a LOT of fakes out there, but I am confident that this Italian one (I'd rather it be in English, but...) is a real one as it was also sold by Dale Dilts, trusted poster community member. I have NOT seen this third film yet. (I was too sick from chemo when it briefly played here, but I have seen the first two...) I do have the Blu Ray though--which I'll get to sometime after my surgery.
And that is ten. I'm as amazed (if not more so) than you that I came back with more posters so quickly. I guess this is part of my fight against my cancer; trying to stay active and vibrant--at least in the poster collecting community--as long as possible. I have ZERO business buying posters. I was basically debt free (but also on a very limited income) up until my cancer diagnosis. Now the medical bills are piling up. If I have to go back into debt, I might as well have a little (reasonably priced) fun while I do it...and enjoy some new posters!
THANK YOU for visiting, as always. Hopefully I'll be back!
CHEERS!
All the very best for your forthcoming surgery.
Thanks for the well wishes in regards to my surgery. All of my pre-qualifying medical tests are done (as of yesterday). I just have three more doctor appointments this week (including one with the surgeon to go over the surgery plan), AND THEN I GO UNder the knife on the 22nd. Hopefully I'll make it back here afterwards. Cheers!
Best wishes for a very successful surgery!
Here is a handy checklist to help tell eMoviePoster.com apart from all other major auctions!
IT'S A SMALL WORLD:
I saw this movie several years ago. Although my memory of it is completely gone, I do remember liking it enough to pursue the poster. PLUS, although it's not a horror flick--it is still kind of gimmicky (by featuring a midget), and is a movie from one of my faves, William Castle. I have this on disk somewhere. Perhaps I'll dig it up and give it a re-watch.
ORGY OF THE DEAD:
Finally… a US one sheet for an Ed Wood directed movie. While I do have a few other Ed Wood one sheets, they’re not for any of Wood’s core movies. (JAIL BAIT, while written and directed by Wood, isn’t well known. THE BRIDE AND THE BEAST is a written by credit only, a few of the A.C. Stephens movies that were also writing credits only, etc…) While I may never have a US one sheet for PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, BRIDE OF THE MONSTER, or GLEN OR GLENDA, at least I scored an ORGY OF THE DEAD. It’s far from perfect…with staple pulls and other damage… but I’ll probably never have one unless I drop my standards a bit. Heck, it’s missing a small piece at the corner…but I’m missing a stomach now myself. I can’t complain too loudly. Ha!
And that’s it for now. Thank you for visiting. See you next time.
Cheers!
It is good to see you back on board involved in what you enjoy doing.
It has always been interesting over the years to have been introduced to a lot of obscure films that I was unaware of through their posters
THE FOREST:
This movie is garbage I’ll say that up front. But somehow this 80’ fright flick’s poster works. (The poster is better than the film.) I already have one but…
ZOMBIE:
Not that I needed it (I didn’t. I already have one or two… OOPS!), but stupid and impoverished me can’t seem to NOT buy posters now and again that I already have if I see them going at a decent price! (See THE FOREST above.) By now, everyone knows that ZOMBIE was an unauthorized Italian sequel (prequel?) to George Romero’s 1979 classic, DAWN OF THE DEAD (which was released as ZOMBI in Italy. This film, ZOMBIE, was originally released in Italy as ZOMBI 2). Whatever…it’s still one of the all-time great zombie shockers!
TRICKS OF THE TRADE:
Damn!!!! This is the one poster in this batch that I HAD to have. But, GRRR! People kept bidding against me. Noooo! If you’ve been following my poster collecting, you know by now that I have a strange and curious affinity for Andy Milligan films. He was an awful filmmaker, but for whatever reason I am drawn to his work. TRICKS OF THE TRADE is one of the films he made that been “lost.” Allegedly, the son of the producer melted down all the existing prints for their silver value.
This poster is apparently fairly rare.I have only seen one copy once before. It was on a Heritage Auction, not long after they started their practice of doing an auction after their weekly auction closed. I really wanted to get it, but couldn’t see bidding it up on the weekly auction and then having to bid again in the secondary auction, so I just held off until after the original auction was over. Well, I didn’t quite get it that you had to bid in the original auction to get into the secondary auction. So even though I had every intention of bidding it up in the secondary auction. I was unable to get in. The poster sold for a song. Dammit! It’s also one of the few non-horror posters of Milligan’s in color.
Jump to a few weeks ago… There is the poster again on eMoviePoster.com. I decided that there was no way I was going to let this one slipped through my fingers. I watched for weeks to see how the pricing was going. It stayed about $30. Yowza! Then, the day of the auction was going to close, it jumped up to $91. I was going to make my move just before the five minute mark and suddenly it was at $188. (Swear words!!!) Determined to get it, I bid and bid and bid...up and up and UP. I did get it but for a lot more than I had planned on spending. (MORE SWEAR WORDS!!!) Oh well, it’s finally mine. But DAMN!!!
THE DEADLY MANTIS:
Zowie! I pretty much gave up on trying to get one of these ages ago. And…here one winds up in my lap! (It’s in great condition, too!) I don’t know why, but I always call this movie THE GIANT MANTIS instead of THE DEADLY MANTIS. Even as I was writing its name in bold letters above, I originally wrote GIANT instead of DEADLY. I wonder why the incorrect title has been stuck in my head for years. It’s probably because most of these drive-in flicks with giant monsters in them were done by Bert I. Gordon, a.k.a. Mr. B. I. G. He did not do this movie. So perhaps, as a nod to Mr. B.I.G., I have mentally added the word GIANT in place of DEADLY to the title. It may not be a Gordon movie, but it kind of feels like one. The poster is fantastic and I’m happy to have it.
Hello, and welcome back. While this edition of the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show is less than exciting, it’s still all new… at least to me. Because it’s less than exciting, it should be an easy-breezy, quick-o read. There’s not much to see here. I’m not kidding. So let’s get this over with, shall we? Here we go…
DUNE PART TWO (Advance):
This poster and the three below it, were sent to me by friends. My friend Gillian’s husband Jason works for UPS. Now and again he gets shipments of movie posters from studios that are sent to a defunct movie theater. The instructions on the box apparently say to destroy contents if the addressee is undeliverable. But when Jason gets them, he saves some for me. This is the latest surprise batch I got earlier this week.They’re not great… Certainly not anything I would have purchased myself… But they were free and it was nice of them to send them to me. I never saw the new DUNE movie or the sequel. I know they were huge hits. This poster does nothing for me. Does it say anything to the DUNE fans? Whatever…
AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM:
Yet another free poster and another movie I never saw. I never even saw the original AQUAMAN. I’m not a superhero kind of guy. It didn’t appeal to me at all. I have no idea if this was a hit or not. I wasn’t even aware they were making AQUAMAN movies anymore.
SPELLCASTER (video):
This was an unexpected surprise. I’ve never seen this horror movie starring 80s popstar Adam Ant. One of my favorite boutique DVD companies, either Vinegar Syndrome or Severin, had made it available again, not too long ago. I don’t know if I have it and it’s in a pile somewhere to watch or if I didn’t bother to get it. I haven’t seen it still. This is just a curio. It was cheap, under $10 and with free shipping.. It’s just a video of poster. I don’t think there was a theatrical release for it. I’m not sure. The poster looks like it has some permanent roles in it. I’m hoping that, if I frame it, the plexiglass pushing on, it will remove the rolls. If not, like I said, it was cheap. Whoopie do.
cheers
BEYOND DARKNESS (video):
This cheap-o video poster is not much. Known in its home country, Italy, as La Casa 5, it’s better known around the world as BEYOND DARKNESS. The flick tells the story of s priest and his family who move into a house where, unbeknownst to them 20 witches were burned to death. AMITYVILLE HORROR-type phenomena appears.For years I got this flick confused with SUPERSTITION, which is also an over-the-top haunted house flick about a family being terrorized by the ghost of a witch. SUPERSTITION is better (not by a lot, but…), but eh… this was cheap!
BRAM STOKER’S THE MUMMY (video):
I know nothing of this movie. It was just another cheapo. I don’t know why I bought it. I’ll never hang out. Louis Gossett Jr must’ve really needed the work…
MOONRAKER (Advance):
I have the regular MOONRAKER one sheet, but I didn’t have this advance one sheet. I do love my James Bond movies, but this one is one of my least favorites. It got two slapsticky towards the end. I didn’t need it but as a completist (or, at least, I try to be), even though I will never hang it, I thought it would be nice to have.
THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE:
I didn’t need this. I probably won’t ever hang it. It’s a good movie and I like the colors on this poster, but sometimes.
DEATH OF A UNICORN:
I’ve heard of this movie, but of course it never came here.I know it’s a horror/comedy, or at least that’s what I’ve been led to believe. There are three 1 sheets for this movie. I pick them all up, because… Why not? (I found this—and the next 4 posters after it—on Dale Dilts’ eBay page, MoviePosters4U. He’s a known and trusted dealer.)
