Was that a voicemail greeting? Oh, it’s a voicemail message. 😅

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

What's with the negative vibes, man. More CHUD less dialogue please.
#Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow it /was/ the 80's…🤷

#monsterdon

Maybe don't go into advertising if you're offended by the phoniness of it all? #Monsterdon

Phone freaking! Wow this is the most 80s NYC.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

Big wigs are like... Uhhh... why did we hire the VIVA LA REVOLUCION photographer? #monsterdon

Houston. This is New York.

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

There's a surprising number of top notch character actors in this. Or people who would go on to become top-notch character actors.

#monsterdon #C.H.U.D.

@RobynGoodfellow excuse me the correct term is C.H.U.D.hole

#Monsterdon

The cops are the 80s version of the two guys from Shaun Of The Dead. Shaun and his loser friend.

#monsterdon

"She tried to lift my gun. I nabbed her!"

"All by yourself?"

Love it!

#Monsterdon

The bloody hole in the street was chanting, "Mom mom mom mom mom." #monsterdon

Just a standard exploding garbage monster, nothing to see here

#Monsterdon

I we've been CHUDDED with that jumpscare

#monsterdon

@Lazarou They are *not* looking at oblongs of glass in their hands #monsterdon

Don't look into the jumpscare boxes a second time!!!!!!!!

#Monsterdon

Actually captain, crime statistics ARE going down.

#Monsterdon

@steggy Yeah sounds about right

...now I wonder if there is such a thing as non-aggressively 80's movie 🤔

#Monsterdon

for those curious about Tropicana Chugger:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpPd-QBkWIg

it's just a small-sized bottle of juice

#Monsterdon

That music with the jump scare was weird..the bum bum bum after the scare?

#Monsterdon

While this is accurate to what the basements in NYC walk-ups are like, no one living in a building would store anything of value there. Either it gets stolen or things worse than C.H.U.D.s get into it. #monsterdon

I cannot keep a lid on it because my mustache announces all of my secrets.

#Monsterdon

@SordidAmok In the manhole, we know that much

#Monsterdon

The short, jagged hair was popular when I was a teen. Definitely became a thing I find attractive.

#monsterdon

they really picked some pretty locations for this film

#monsterdon

What does New York expect? You fill your manholes with steam, you're going to attract monsters. #monsterdon

Scintillating dialogue, I can't wait to hear how they're suffocating each other. #Monsterdon

Remember screening calls with the answering machine, lol

#Monsterdon

"Was I drunk? Were we making love?" Do those things happen at different times? #Monsterdon

That’s some 80s hair if I ever saw it.

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

hhhmmmmmmmmmmm… what's the over-under on the girlfriend surviving?

#monsterdon

This photographer shoots in C.H.U.D.achrome

#Monsterdon

(Theme from To Live And Die In LA starts)

#monsterdon

Doesn't everyone put makeup on their ass.

#Monsterdon

I would have killed / eaten for that Leica camera he is using.

#monsterdon
#chud1984

The irony of giving the "Music composed and performed by" credit in a scene with no music

#Monsterdon

I want a C.H.U.D. / Prince Of Darkness crossover

#Monsterdon

Great timing from the monster, you gotta admit #TeamMonster

#Monsterdon

don’t say you’re a fan of the bonime if you haven’t read the bonga #monsterdon

George dresses how I feel.

#Monsterdon

oooo, it's a young version of That Guy, isn't it?

#monsterdon

Very sparse opening. Blues Brothers this ain't. #Monsterdon

hey wat's the gender-neutral term for "manhole cover"? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon damn it. Here’s the #DDD for CHUD! Sorry folks, it totally slipped my mind!

https://www.doesthedogdie.com/media/9051

Ooh you know the ninja turtles are down there

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I'm glad they're cannibals. That means the puppy's fine.

#Monsterdon street sweepers: the natural enemy of the c.h.u.d.

#monsterdon wow, I already have 3 bingo squares

What a cool opening sequence. But also feels like whoever was mixing the music suddenly remembered they had a dentist appointment and ran out. #monsterdon

a shoe next to a manhole cover. how poetic. #monsterdon

3 bingo hits in the first 30 seconds!

#monsterdon
#chud

And despite the slipper, they never saw Cinderella again

#monsterdon #CHUD

Well that has to be the fastest "Does the dog..." in movie history.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

Well that escalated quickly. #Monsterdon #CHUD

They're not staying down THERE anymore! #monsterdon

"It's our time... down here!"

---The Chuds

#monsterdon #chud

"C'mon Muffy, let's walk down Certain Doom Lane!" #Monsterdon

Starring Christopher Curry, and Charles Garlic!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon hey all my beautiful peoples! I love this movie! We’re in for a treat!

@SnoopJ oh haha yeah that was fun

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ ooh which one was that?

#Monsterdon

whooaaaaaaaa what a delightful effect! BRAVO, VFX TEAM, BRAVO! 👏

#Monsterdon

Contamination Hazard Urban Disposal

ho ho ho, what a twist!

#Monsterdon

[DRUMS INTENSIFY, REDUX]

#Monsterdon

i was hoping i could go to sleep after #monsterdon but i guess my sleepiness is saying no!

Goodnight everyone and thank you @Taweret !

#Monsterdon

He ate the dime? #Monsterdon

I think it might be a good time to Escape from New York just about now

#Monsterdon

bye John Goodman

#Monsterdon

oh hi there John Goodman! Wow, so young.

#Monsterdon

[DRUMS INTENSIFY]

oh man that rocked, great way to polish up a simple effect

#Monsterdon

Taking a shower immediately after calling the cops? Yea, she doesn't know she's in a horror movie.

#Monsterdon

strike that, make it TWO severed heads

#Monsterdon

oh wow that severed head is incredible

#Monsterdon

@whknott @SordidAmok Hand sanitizer was unknown, for God's sake #monsterdon

A.J. losing his flashlight is a fantastic ratchet-up of the tension.

and now, C.H.U.D.s!!!!!!!

#Monsterdon

I will be interested to see what kind of statistics this evening's viewing will net compared to the average coming in to Oscar night #monsterdon

I started on this film's wikipedia page and somehow ended up learning about what Chicago's Deep Tunnel project is all about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_and_Reservoir_Plan #monsterdon

@trixter The only way to be certain would be to find out if they could breed with humans and I'm not going to watch that film #monsterdon

@Configures lol good to know

I am not surprised though

#Monsterdon

No bingo for me this week sadly

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

@josh0 and you could just disappear in the middle of a photo shoot apparently

#monsterdon

Plex decided to queue up The Toxic Avenger for me after C.H.U.D.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090190/

which looks *extremely* weird

#Monsterdon

@bunnyhero It has shmutz on it now #monsterdon

Not getting a lot of C.H.U.D. action which I think is why the #Monsterdon crowd was relatively rowdy for this one.

And hey, I wanna see the C.H.U.D.s too. But I'm vibing with the parts between the C.H.U.D. appearances.

I'm getting a lot of ALIENS vibes, actually? But this came out first…

#Monsterdon

This may be the most "why did I watch this" movie in all my time doing #Monsterdon ... but the feed was entertaining as always! Thanks @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting!

I gave it two and a half stars on letterboxd on the strength of its last twenty minutes https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/chud/ #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow @Taweret Agreed--this was an excellent #Monsterdon pick. Sorry I'd avoided this one in the past. Happy to be along for the ride.

This preppy NRC(lmao?!) goon is throwing me for a loop every time.

#Monsterdon

@hollie There was probably a time when I thought that too

#Monsterdon

@otheorange_tag I meant "truck." 😅 #Monsterdon

@sealawyer aw yeah Pizza Rat would have fit right in here

#Monsterdon

Thanks @Taweret for hosting #Monsterdon this week. 🤩

A man who runs a soup kitchen notices his regulars go missing, but no one cares about the poor so he investigates it himself

A fashion photographer who really wants to be taken seriously does a photo exposé on the people and places under Manhattan

A "good cop" 😬 wonders why certain disappearances are swept under the rug and find out about a government toxic waste conspiracy

Pick TWO at most

#Monsterdon

@moira I’ve never seen it and I’m so sad I missed watching with #monsterdon folks. :(

@SnoopJ since you are behind, I will not reveal WHO kiss, much suspense

#Monsterdon

@Taweret

@bstacey looking back on it, they didn't really need that couple at all in the plot

#monsterdon

Hmm so just so we're clear: dumping toxic waste under NYC streets is *worse* than making radioactive cannibalistic monsters

#Monsterdon

@apLundell yeah considering all the gas involved the Explosion Quotient was disappointingly low so at least there was this

#Monsterdon

It is weird that this isn't the greasiest movie we have seen for #Monsterdon
Cause this was very grimy.
