"A freak accident! It could never happen again!"

We know what that means.

#Monsterdon

how fucking big are the rats in New York that the cops need a flamethrower squad
#monsterdon

A Douche wearing an Izod shirt?
Peak #80s

#Monsterdon

if they removed every time someone repeated the other person's words or asked "what?" this movie would be only half as long. #monsterdon

"They're coming out of the walls!"

"Where's the sarge?! Where's the sarge!"

*alien screams

#monsterdon

Boy howdy g-man you gotta be a Royal First Class Bastard to out-bastard a New York cop #Monsterdon

@ricci The dude was a total bro.

#Monsterdon

I think the suburbs are scarier than the urban center, frankly.

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

we only get to see the reflection on his helmet #monsterdon

Who brings a camera to a flamethrower fight?

#monsterdon
#C.H.U.D.

#monsterdon Okay I kinda like Bosch too lol.

the nypd flamethrower squad

#monsterdon

How I expect them to show up when I call an exterminator. #monsterdon

@akamran I lived through it! It was definitely a quarter in the 80s, at least in Chicago, and at least by 1981.

#Monsterdon

Cops with flamethrowers'd be a lot more believable after 9/11. #Monsterdon

I can't wait until the monitor shows there's something down there
#monsterdon

@nantucketebooks hahaha that's fantastic

#Monsterdon

"My man has a flamer thrower" is quite the flex. #Monsterdon #CHUD

@Cherizilla Have you considered going into the lucrative field of being a spooky semi-governmental tail?

#Monsterdon

@ramsey well to be fair someone said quarterpounder but he was too hungry to listen to the whole word! #Monsterdon

Man it's a freaking CHUD Smörgåsbord. Soup's on fellas! #Monsterdon #CHUD

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

Terrible monitors by Sony(tm)

#monsterdon #CHUD

"Dressed in the Rags of a Bowery Bum" is a lesser-known Belle and Sebastian song.

#Monsterdon

Bowery bums should not be confused with Chelsea bums.
#Monsterdon

Maybe the Flukeman from X-files can join with the C.H.U.D #monsterdon

"It couldn't happen again."

Should this be on future bingo cards?

#Monsterdon

Hanging chud, maybe don't eat tinsel!? #Monsterdon

@SRLevine that's basically what my entire Mastodon account is. #Monsterdon

I appreciate that the NRC guy looks like he hasn't gotten a full nights sleep in 20 years
#monsterdon

"Chud?"

#Monsterdon

I don’t mean to kink shame, but eating change from a pay phone while someone watches is a new one.

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

uh, is this a pickup? why did they stare at each other like that? didn't know phone booths were cruising spots in the 80s... #monsterdon

Oh hey, it's the Leechman from The X-Files. #Monsterdon

Are they going to kiss at the phone booth.

#Monsterdon

We need these face masks for covid era

#Monsterdon

I feel like we could have so much fascinating political discussion around this whole eco-horror/progressive-horror genre #monsterdon #chud1984

"...you know eating coins is bad for your digestion."

#Monsterdon #CHUD

I love how everyone's like so non-reactive after learninga bout CHUDs. #monsterdon

#monsterdon okay, they kept denying some things I suppose!

NO WAY IT'S THE TITLE OF THE MOVIE!!!
#monsterdon

Fashion photog wants to do something "relevant"? There's a famine happening in Ethiopia, buddy. Do some real photojournalism.
