#monsterdon damn it. Shoulda charged my phone before the movie.

You know, this is actually better than I expected. The movie, I mean, not my phone dying.

@diazona I think dad pulled geigers thumb #Monsterdon

It's a CHUD cult!
#monsterdon

It's a CHUD tai chi class #Monsterdon

TFW you crash a CHUD party #Monsterdon

Oh wow, this is where Futurama got some of it's inspiration for mutant underground culture, isn't it?

#monsterdon

No idea what is happening now #monsterdon #chud1984

Murphy was a good cop hater. Alas a wall muppet swallowed him whole.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

okay those are fun sewer monsters

#monsterdon

Yes!!! Full body CHUDs!

#Monsterdon

I just remembered the photographer guy and kinda forgot he was in the movie

that was a nice time

#monsterdon #CHUD

CHUD aerobics. #monsterdon

C.H.U.D. Hunts Unfortunate Dinner

#Monsterdon

I'm no expert but the Geiger counter spiking seems like a sign of trouble

#Monsterdon

MURDERER #monsterdon

Rest in peace Stephen King.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

those feeble 2D cell incandescent torches, damn them all.

#monsterdon
#chud1984

I don’t know about you, but I’m kinda horrified.

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

That guy uncocked his pistol. That's rare in movies. Usually, they rack 'em and then walk around like that's okay.

#monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow Sit down, Bond.

#monsterdon #CHUD

I never thought I would go out that way.

#monsterdon

I would not have minded a scene like in Independence Day, where the C.H.U.D. comes to life and eats everyone

#Monsterdon

@jonny if the door moved, it'd be Ben Mover?! :ablobcatgooglymlemjumping: #Monsterdon

And Murphy and jerk photographer guy were eaten. THE END.

#monsterdon

@diazona @CactuarJoe Same guy, he was versatile

#monsterdon #CHUD

Those CHUDs need a dental plan

#monsterdon
#C.H.U.D.

@Zerofactorial @moira @Louisa Nah, you need something larger. A benzomatic should do it

(I have this at work and it is extremely effective at accidentally almost lighting everything nearby on fire: https://www.bernzomatic.com/Products/Hand-Torches/Manual-Ignition/Classic-Brass-Torch-Kit-WK2201)

#Monsterdon

Just when I was thinking that this movie had too many characters and not enough plot to go around, it starts picking 'em off

#Monsterdon

lol, CHUD attack!

#monsterdon

Breaking news: the reporter got eaten #Monsterdon

OH HELLO THERE
#monsterdon

Ooooooooooh it's Nazi LaCoste at work again

that fucker killed Val tho

he's gotta fucken go

#monsterdon #CHUD

Murdered by a bro, that was pretty common in the '80s. #Monsterdon

"You wanna g'down there?!" "Yeah, I wanna g'down there!"

#Monsterdon

OH NO! NOT VAL! #monsterdon

Wow, what a dick

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon well that was unexpected

Oh no! Not Stephen King!

#monsterdon

@holly He learned how to use a gun by watching Dirty Harry movies.

#Monsterdon

WHO is the red polo shirt guy???? #Monsterdon

the original "WWWWIIIIIILLLLLSSSSOOOOONNNNNN"?
#monsterdon

The Coineater!

#monsterdon

@moira @CactuarJoe TIL Robert Moses was a real public figure

I only knew him as the evil sorcerer villain from Dimension 20

#Monsterdon

Val fell #Monsterdon

man ben stiller didn't even stand a chance, got taken out by an unmoving door #monsterdon

@wohali It makes me think about high-end kitchen appliances #monsterdon

@nev but there might be "etchings" (That's the attic) #Monsterdon

The radiation is a solid reason here so kind of a twist on Far Below. And this has alot more characters and plot. But the basics are really similar.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

Would you like C.H.U.D.dar on that C.H.U.D.burger?

#Monsterdon

Run, wet bandit, run! #Monsterdon

I think it's a great plan to make everything in Manhattan blow up. #monsterdon

@FirstFish in an 80s horror movie the dog is always doomed :( #monsterdon

@SRLevine @brooke don't worry: the baby will fix the relationship! 😜

#monsterdon

@amyfou Yeah, he was out of bent carrots! #TooSoon? by a few decades #Monsterdon

Are all these old white dudes wearing eye shadow, cause them circles are daaaaaaark #Monsterdon

C.H.U.D.tastic

#Monsterdon

@Louisa Dracula levels of real estate minutae.

#monsterdon #chud

"We're not gonna blow up the whole city, just a section of SoHo."

The parody writes itself

#monsterdon #CHUD

Oh yeah, no one in Soho matters. Just Andy Warhol.

#Monsterdon

...Is he making carrot and pickle soup? #Monsterdon

"the only way to find out is to go down there"
"you wanna go down there?"
actually, you know what, nah.
*facepalm*
#monsterdon

@moira @Louisa i will back that kickstarter #monsterdon

The fact that this movie plot set up the couple as temporarily subletting, to make their living situation clear when they talked about selling the inherited suburban house (or not), is like water in the desert to me, a #Monsterdon watcher

Pretty sure that is the BMT Chambers St station
#monsterdon

We should buy @Louisa a flamethrower

#monsterdon #CHUD

#monsterdon C.H.U.D. is a 1984 movie and Marianne Jean-Baptiste's film debut was in 1991, so unlike the Oscars, there's no way she could have been snubbed

Ad list so far:

- A new Disney Channel show
- T-Mobile (English)
- T-Mobile (Spanish)
- X-Men cartoons
- Injury lawyer

#Monsterdon

@brooke Well they managed the conceived bit ok...

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

Whoever made John Heard's blue shirt really made some poor choices: world's tiniest collar, cut so it's short and kinda weirdly a-lines down over what appears to be a beer belly...I'm just happy they're not shooting it from lower angles.

@ricci I made a burrito and came back.
#Monsterdon

NYCs paint budget must have been so much less back then. So glad surge pricing is saving from this chipping paint :)

#Monsterdon

What percent of this movie is people talking on the phone?

#monsterdon

Aliens was 1986, all. Two years after this film.

#monsterdon

The sets/buildings here are FANTASTIC.

#Monsterdon

@akamran aha!

It varied by state. Texas was 1979, New York was 1984, Indiana was 1988. The last four states to go to a quarter were Arkansas, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, which all went in 1997.

Don't know the years for all the other states (California was before 1987), but Canada was around 1981.

So this was released in 1984, so it could have been either, depending on when it was filmed!

#Monsterdon

While nothing is going on, I'm going to make up some words

#Monsterdon

"There's no cause to be insolent here..."

"EAT IT!"

Shepherd's the best.

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

Probably there really is nothing going on when he goes down there.

#Monsterdon

Hey humanoid monsters living in the tunnels under NYC? That sounds familiar.

@srol After.
Aliens (1979)
C.H.U.D.S. (1984)
Seems kind of pathetic.
#Monsterdon

@FirstFish @riedlr McNary hall! (checks statute of limitations) #Monsterdon

I think there’s going to be screaming shortly. #Monsterdon

This is, what. Six monitors all displaying the same feed?? 😂

#Monsterdon

Heard to be hired as the next flamethrower team camera guy in 3...2...1.... #monsterdon

Okay, that seems bad for the surface dwellers

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

Wilson == dissipated Martin Mull <-- the dude

@Ayyyydrew Just ready to go whenever.

#monsterdon #chud

#monsterdon C.H.U.D = me studying how to continue existing in the USA while the fascist machine rages on.

Flamethrowers sound like a horrific way to go, though.

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

they're trying to flamethower test tube satan to death and i think we all know why that's not gonna work

#monsterdon #CHUD

Was this before or after Aliens? #monsterdon

flamethrower is maybe the worst choice you could make in a sewer, those mfs have no oxygen anymore #monsterdon

@flowerpot I feel without "bums" we wouldn't have this movie #Monsterdon

Zed's dead, baby.

#Monsterdon #CHUD

The only thing standing between order and anarchy is a cop with a flame thrower
~Old NYPD saying
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

Their weird angular facemasks are kinda cool

Worst.Camera.Man.EVER! #monsterdon

These cops are equipped with C.H.U.D.throwers

#Monsterdon

Flame throwers in a sewer seems like a particularly bad idea...
