Maniacal Movie Poster Monday #59!
Target Earth (Allied Artists Pictures, 1954)
I've seen this one back there somewhere. I seem to remember almost nothing happening, despite that poster. Feel free to correct me in the comments if I'm remembering wrong.
Hallucination Generation (Trans American Films, 1966)
I have a fair amount of debauched dreams. I have not, however, seen this movie.
'Gator Bait (Sebastian International Pictures, 1974)
I got to see this fairly sleazy backwood bayoustravaganza courtesy Showtime around 1980. I remember being quite enamored of it and watching it several times across the month it aired. I'd really like to see it again. Who can help a feller out?
Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!
Yeah Target Earth was nothing special in spite of the cool poster. Never heard of the the other two. You are a master detective when it come sto ferreting out the pop culture gems.
ReplyDeleteI think you might like the revenge badassitry of Gator Bait, if the sleaze didn't put you off. I like to picture myself wearing a deerstalker cap and carrying a large magnifying glass and Meerschaum pipe looking for these posters - how did you know?
DeleteHaven't seen any of these, but the poster are really cool.
ReplyDeleteI've only seen two of the three myself - but I'm always glad to see you, Nebular! Thanks for coming by!
Deleteagree with Neb. Three absolutely gorgeous posters. Love the one for Target Earth!
ReplyDeleteI think Target Earth is the clear winner here - and I have to throw in with the lot of you on that!
DeleteThe Target Earth poster is wicked cool. I'm thinking the large robot needs a t-shirt with "Let's Get Out of Here!" wrapped around buddha man on the front.
ReplyDeleteThe robots remind me of The Incredibles...
If only I had the Photoshop skills - that might be a great main photo for this joint for a month or two!
DeleteI think those guys were definitely influenced by movies just like this one!
