Maniacal Movie Poster Monday #94!

For this entry in the series, I turned to this blog's good buddy Maynard Morrissey of the ever incredible Maynard Morrissey's Horror Movie Diary for some assistance choosing this week's posters. He got to choose a random number, a genre, and a movie.





Black Devil Doll from Hell  (Lowest Common Denominator Entertainment, 2007)

I haven't seen this spoof of 70's horror - but it's supposed to be pretty graphic - this was the movie title Maynard chose - I think he was trying to get LGOOH rerated from PG-13 to R - because the other poster for this movie has more profanity than a Quentin Tarantino movie!










Mannequin Two: On the Move  (Gladden Entertainment, 1991)







For genre Maynard chose RomCom - and  he might have been hoping to get the poster for one of those Hugh Grant flicks he's so fond of - but I decided to go further back - and highlight yet another romantic comedy fantasy that seemingly only *I* like! But look - you have the star of Fright Night romancing the original cinematic Buffy the Vampire Slayer - with Meshach Taylor back as the wildly un-PC Hollywood - and Terry (Weekend at Bernie's) Kiser as the bad guy! What more could anyone ask?







Adios Sabata  (United Artists, 1971)




This was not originally a Sabata film. The original Italian title translates as something like Indio Black, You Know What? You're a Big Son of a...,  and Yul was playing Indio Black, but the title and Brynner's character name were changed for the American release to cash in on the original Sabata film, which had starred Lee Van Cleef, who was unable to make this movie because he was starring in The Magnificent Seven Ride! as Chris, a character originally played by...Yul Brynner. Mindfreak! 


I haven't seen this movie, and this one was a completely random number pick.




My thanks to Maynard Morrissey for helping me out with this post - you rock, and I'll buy you a hairy burger one of these days in thanks!




Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!

    Mannequin 2?!!! Holy guacamole I had forgotten all about this one. Meshach Taylor is certainly a blast from the past. And Terry Kiser, now there is an 80's heavy for sure.

      I have to admit I enjoy him more flamboyant in these movies than acting as straight man (how ironic) to the Designing Women... Ah, Terry Kiser - you summed him up nicely. From Three's Company to Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood - he was the Goto Guy for Weaselly Screen Villain!

    LOL I remember that one. Mannequinn was a stretch and the sequel was even worse. Kind of like Teen Wolf Too and Weekend At Bernie's 2. Thanks for the gnarly flashback dude.

      I can't deny it's not much of a movie - but I still like it - always been a sucker for the "fantasy woman" romcom...thanks for coming by, Maurice!

    Omg! Bad, baaad choices :D Mannequin 1 was meh, but Mannequin 2 was utter crap. Gosh, that poster... LOL :D
    Never heard about "Adios Sabata", but hey... it's a Yul Brynner flick. It can't be that bad :-)
    I actually chose Devil Doll because I read about it a few minutes before you asked me! Looks like a perfect Project Terrible movie =D

    Thanks for the mention! I'll give you a shout-out on Thursday when I post my Boggy Creek review!

      Oh noooo! I figured you for a Mannequin guy! Now I truly am the only person in the world who likes it! ;)

      No, I think the Sabata movies are considered pretty good.

      I have a PT movie to assign - need to check YouTube to see if it's on there...I won't say the title - but it's a Crown International movie from 1990...

    actually Black Devil Doll is psuedo-porn. It has the sensitivities of a porn flick, the build of a 70s slasher flick and the camp of a very cheap exploitation. So it's Really Really Rated R!

      Thanks for the heads up - I'm fairly hard to offend, so I will probably check that movie out one of these days...
