@CactuarJoe I mean the ocean is right there!
#monsterdon

Remember when the press was such a force of good that you could threaten bad guys with it? Ahhh, those were the days.

#Monsterdon
#CHUD

they're weak to decapitation!!

#monsterdon

Why does it have an elastic neck?
#Monsterdon #CHUD

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. A darkroom that doesn't double as a panic room is a waste of space. #monsterdon

@brooke

"They mostly CHUD out at night... mostly"

#monsterdon

nice callback to fallen assault team

#monsterdon

#monsterdon "Containment Hazard Urban Disposal"!? Have we been being fed a pack of lies this whole time?? By a _government agency_!?

MTBCBE is getting shorter and shorter (mean time between cops being eaten)

#monsterdon

i keep expecting this repeated note to turn into "o superman" #monsterdon

@SordidAmok fully on team CHUD/Morlock #monsterdon

Wow in the midst of a chud cconversion. The plot thickens

#monsterdon

There’s always a dead dog, a naked chick, a dumb kid #80shorror #monsterdon

Right after her shower explodes in blood she.... goes back to flower arranging?? Like nothing happened?

#Monsterdon

Ahhh, the CHUD won't eat the Unhoused but will devour the Bourgeoise!

Finally the Revolution is here!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh nooooo, Psycho-evoking shower scene! (That two-spigot showerhead looks like a budget Johnny Five from Short Circuit.)

Wait WHAT why did the clogged shower drain just spew blood?!

"They're in the walls, man! They're INSIDE THE ROOM!"

#monsterdon

The CHUD leader: "Come Daniel Stern. It is time to keep your appointment with the Wicker Man."

#monsterdon

Val, killed by the Coineater, so harsh....

#monsterdon

"flood the whole city with flammable gas"

What could go wrong?

Even better, don't tell anyone you're doing it too!

#monsterdon

"I don't have your pictures" Guy has a leica and doesn't have his own negatives? Sigh....

#Monsterdon

"We have a flat in Manhattan so large I have a Dark Room"

Oligarchs.

#monsterdon

Love it when the camera goes dead, always a sucker for that

#monsterdon

NYPD has flame thrower teams.

#monsterdon

Are they going to do Aliens "using live cam feed and then walking into a trap" thing?

did Cameron rip off CHUDs?!

#monsterdon

I can believe the NYPD can assemble a team of flamethrowers within hours.

Deal with crime, no.

Play with flamethrowers, yes.

#monsterdon

Putting a coin in your mouth after it went through a NYC payphone? Have fun melting from the inside-out. #monsterdon

"What does C.H.U.D. stand for?!"

Well we've been having some fun with that today!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon the NRC guy reminds me so much of the suits that I grew up around in the 80’s. That look. That tone. Makes me all punchy-pokey. LOL.

I like soup kitchen guy more and more.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon I love that, “slightly” by a billion rads. The street glowed.

cool monster!

#monsterdon

Was the Blonde the girl from Brazil, the Terry Gilliam film?

Also, I do not care about this middle class couple's life together.

But, don't bring a child into this world, they will resent you for it by 2025

#monsterdon

#monsterdon MONSTER GROWL

(Not necessarily, that could have been like a metal grating or something being pulled aside. In any case, great foley work there.)

""You gonna have a baby?"

No, the other kind of pregante...

#Monsterdon

Is there a bingo square for radioactive waste? There must be.

#monsterdon

Ahhh, 'nuclear waste is magic'

Love that trope.

#monsterdon

Oh, so his wife was walking the dog and got snatched by sewer monsters and *now* he cares enough to talk to a wet bandit at the soup kitchen. ACAB.

#monsterdon

Okay, listen I can suspend my disbelieve about cannibal monsters under NYC but a NYPD captain living in the Village? Really?

#monsterdon

why are they depicting unhoused people as like coal miners #monsterdon

"Get da hell outta here!"

Another very American phrase I look for in movies, particularly in a New York accent.

#monsterdon

Unstable undergrounder is instantly my favorite character. #Monsterdon #CHUD

This guy kinda looks like Stephen King.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

@Lazarou This is part of the Petersen myth. I'm SURE he showed up on set and was like "how can I be a hotshot fashion photographer without a hot babe to fu... I mean, shoot" and the Producer was all "Bill you were just supposed to play a street cop"

#monsterdon "Look, I don't want to bore you with crime statistics, but just between you and me: they're not going down."

Really fundamental change between the 80s and now, that little line right there.

JUMP SCARE!!!!!!!!

#monsterdon

This is Oscar worthy. It is plain to see that they got snubbed over politics. #monsterdon

Both these people play generic white people in many TV shows later, but I will not remember which shows

#monsterdon

I saw dearly departed Gene Hackman wear a mac like that in The Conversation last night

#monsterdon

@forestine I'm hoping there's a Directors cut that goes into more detail with that character, and whether the coin eating was a spur of the moment thing or a serious issue.... #monsterdon

And so many cameos of people who went on to do much better movies. There were a few I recognized, but couldn't place them, so I couldn't do the "That guy was in..." gag.

#monsterdon

That was rich! An absolutely terrible movie, but really rich. A lot of material. I was riffing so hard, I was barely finished a toot and ready for the next one. Really good stuff.

#monsterdon

An enjoyable movie that did not need 3 protagonists whose plots only intersect sometimes

#Monsterdon

@srol and MIME COP....man that film was a beauty! #monsterdon

Damn. That was pretty decent! #Monsterdon

Loving the Luigi Mangione approach to City Hall corruption, Cop approved as well!

#monsterdon

So I first saw the VHS copy of CHUD at the rental section in Kroger when I was 10.

It looked like a bad movie, and I never watched it, but made fun of it plenty.

That’s my #monsterdon story.

It is not lost on how this film got recently distributed for this weekend.

C.H.U.D. is like The Gorgon in that the writing/plot (and possibly pacing) are the weak parts, but everything else is fine.

Like, these are A-movie problems!

#monsterdon

@SordidAmok I'm tellin' ya, the crocodiles will take care of 'em

#monsterdon #CHUD

The end of Wilson was satisfying at least. #monsterdon

So post credits scene or are we just leaving it be that she totally got bit by the radiation zombie? #monsterdon

@allanb or the key to the schitty --Sean Connery #Monsterdon

Bosch, No!

#monsterdon

It's an 80s movie alright.

#monsterdon

ah: the bullet stopped the forward-momentum of the—GOOD LORD IT EXPLODED

#monsterdon

I love this synth soundtrack.

#Monsterdon

Hey Man, Nice Shot!

#monsterdon #CHUD

You know what this movie needs right now?

A couple of frogs on a July 4th cake. #monsterdon

Uhhh... Cannibalistic My Ass would be CMA, not CHUD. #monsterdon

@strangefour Elastic neck was a movie trick for screen beheadings—they just decided to lean into it. #monsterdon

Lol thoughtful of him to grow that long juicy neck for chopping

#Monsterdon

She just got bit by disembodied CHUD head so that DEFINITELY means she's going to have a CHUD baby, right?

It'll be an infectCHUD

#Monsterdon
#CHUD

Is this Re-Animator?

#monsterdon

YEA, the severed CHUD head bit her leg. 😀
#Monsterdon

With a CHUD infestation like that, the rent should drop to a very affordable $7500/month #Monsterdon

Why do people think it's over? Mine has 10 minutes left? And I don't have ads...

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I love the severed thing that keeps going trope. Also a bit in Halloween III

Contamination Hazard Urban Disposal!. TWIST! #Monsterdon #CHUD

#Monsterdon Woman, you are a danger to yourself and every RJ-11 jack in this state!

Taco Bell bell straight out of Return of the Living Dead #monsterdon

Is there a NYC blue-shirt police procedural even running right now? In the 80s that was Must See TV. Cuz they had a pool of talent and tech who could crank those things out #monsterdon #monsterdoncollege #80s

That guy was in the Flintstones movie.

#monsterdon

See what studying all night gets you?? Eaten by CHUDs, that's what.

#Monsterdon

Don't make John Goodman sexually harass a waitress, movie, he's too good for this

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Cinematically Horrifying Unsafe Diner

#Monsterdon Now we’ve got surface shenanigans.

john goodman!? ok, kids, take note, this is what happens when you have a union

#monsterdon

You know... cannibalistic!

#monsterdon

I think she's gonna need a better plumber

#monsterdon

Surprise! There's a Balrog down there! You mined for mithril too deep, you stupid dwarves!

#monsterdon

"Oh my god, it's his wife!"

Very tactful there lads, very considerate....

#monsterdon

everyone's doing the basement exploration thing

#monsterdon

At least that was a very fake looking dog.

#Monsterdon

Stay for the CHUDs' hauntingly beautiful moonlight dance

#Monsterdon

Look out AJ! You’re the only character left I care about #monsterdon

We're only going to blow up a small part of Manhatten
