"This ain't no disco."

This ain't no country club either. This is L. A.…

#Monsterdon

@Agrippa so this is what he was up to before joining the wet bandits! #Monsterdon

Probably the best "Uncle John's Band" reference in any 'Eighties horror movie.

#monsterdon

@lorgonumputz He's trying to escape from L.A. right now.

#monsterdon

Victor Hugo??

#Monsterdon

@cienmilojos apparently so!

@jonny was saying this takes place in the same universe as Home Alone

#Monsterdon

Daniel Stern really kept this sleeveless tee look going in roles for years

#monsterdon #C.H.U.D.

Oh I guess he was actually the third commander of Pegasus. That ship went through so many commanders lol #monsterdon

The EPA launched a probe into space? While wearing space suits?
#Monsterdon #CHUD

His wife is going to turn up as a CHUD?

#Monsterdon

Bosch demonstrating why men's undershirts are a thing #monsterdon #chud1984

Bandages? I don’t need no stinking bandages. #Monsterdon

YIKES!!

That is some hamburger that needs helper under that bandage.

#Monsterdon

Me at work next year: "What's the motivation here, captain?"

#Monsterdon

Uhhh... did we miss the backstory of his homeless wife?!? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

Dan has righteous indignation vs. Bosch

oh boy... #monsterdon

Is that the dude from home alone???? #monsterdon

I don't usually feel very strongly about fashion but I want his giant striped tie to die in a fire

#Monsterdon
#CHUD

so... shepherd is mad that the cops are actually doing something??? i... #monsterdon

Subterranean Homesick Ooze

#Monsterdon #CHUD

damn I'm just eating a hamburger too
#monsterdon

I've been trying to figure out what I recognize John Heard from. Could be so many things, he was so prolific. But I finally nailed it, he was the second commander of Pegasus on Battlestar Galactica before Apollo took over. #monsterdon

"Can you identify any of the people in this photo?"
"What are you, a cop?"
"Yes, actually."
"I know exactly what to do with a cop. Shut the fuck up!"

#Monsterdon #CHUD

That looks pretty bad. ☹️

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

I'm going to go ahead and say that Bactine probably won't help that wound at this stage.

#Monsterdon

Ooof, both the visual and audio were intense for that wound #Monsterdon

Also, these houseless people really smudge their faces in charcoal as an aesthetic.
#Monsterdon

shot the ugly fuckers. I think it's pretty well explained man.
#monsterdon

This is a sorta realistic portrayal of the camps, if chimney sweeps lived there #monsterdon #chud1984

Oh you know it's good when the foley is crunchy. #Monsterdon

this is the proof we need that oscar the grouch is a slumlord

#monsterdon #CHUD

Yeah, that's gonna leave a mark.

#Monsterdon #CHUD

Is that Marv from home alone? #Monsterdon

@moira

Ah, so a C.H.U.D. / They Live crossover.

#Monsterdon

"What ugly fuckers?"

Something about that line's delivery has me in stitches here.

#Monsterdon

Cooper Hunting Ugly Fuckers... wait that doesn't work.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

i was expecting this to be a lot more Troma than it's been so far #monsterdon

@ohiofi On the other hand, this one had someone get killed my the monster in the first two minutes

#Monsterdon

I really feel like I'm going to end up living like that in not too many years. 😖

#Monsterdon

Red cap, red sweater, red t-shirt. Everyone's gonna get STAR TREKED! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon If I ever had no exit claustrophobia, these sequences would really be challenging.

@Sorl And we expect no on 1 but yes on 2? seriously?

#monsterdon

I'm on team C.H.U.D but only if they take out Bosch. #monsterdon

I have questions about air quality in those tunnels.

#Monsterdon #CHUD

Wonder why he was on the desk to begin with? #monsterdon Betcha he beats people up...

The set up of this movie is like a Doctor Who plot (before the Doctor arrives of course). But the execution is so very 80s NYC. So greasy.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

Americans have a right to a home...I mean, to shoot ugly fuckers. NRA endorsed!

#Monsterdon

@b He's a PROFESSIONAL

#monsterdon

Bet he wishes he had some perfume right about now.

#Monsterdon #CHUD

Movies, before OSHA! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

Pretty sure I had that flashlight in 1984 too

kevin's dad and the model lady are kevin's true parents, not the very concerned 90's lady that is depicted in the home alone canon. this woman is the woman in central park that is the pigeon shepherd, and she watches over him because she knows that kevin's dad can't reveal his true origin and destiny w.r.t. the CHUDs #monsterdon

Imagine if this was now: you'd just plant an air (stalker) tag on your target!

#Monsterdon

he has to ripple like that to punctuate each clause because it's just his way, his jerk cop way #monsterdon

This guy is classically trained. Well done #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I first learned of CHUD from this episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It's the exact kind of movie that would be referenced on this wonderfully demented show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m490phPIlRg&pp=ygUJYXRoZiBjaHVk

So far I've been only half watching because I was making dinner but so far this looks like a movie about a social worker #monsterdon #chud1984

are we going to Addis Ababa mister luthor?

#monsterdon #CHUD

Spit stalactites! #monsterdon

Bandages are just as effective as a gun
#monsterdon

Those Levis are gonna be crying by the time he gets up outta there. #Monsterdon

wow, stealing a cop's service revolver is QUITE the move.

#Monsterdon

Annoying photographer lead (like most of this cast) has been in a TON of things, but what I'm pinging off of is that Tom Hanks took his job in Big. #Monsterdon #CHUD

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

I think, but am not sure, that homeless lady changed her dress during that cut

Three years after this movie is when Beauty and the Beast came out (that 1987 show with Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman), anyone remember that? A much, MUCH more romanticized version of life in the NYC underground.

I watched it religiously, my parents used to torture me about it by stage whispering "Viiiincent" at me.

#Monsterdon
#CHUD

wait wait go back to the guy playing mailboxes with drumsticks

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon haha did they just mistake him for the homeless murderer? silly cops

I like this reverend and the wild eyed undergrounder.

#Monsterdon

Proto Boomhauer

#monsterdon

Gun... bandages... all the same! #monsterdon

When did George end up at the police station?

Oh, is this the lady that left a message on his machine?

#Monsterdon

Did she just tell him to go fuck a duck? #monsterdon

Sucking a duck sounds like great advice.

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

Who's he callin'? C.H.U.D.busters!

#monsterdon

Bag lady is also amazing. this movie is great so far, A+ #monsterdon

rocking those LEE jeans! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon She reminds me of little slum on the prairie. ;)

@strangefour Actually, he kinda does. (without the glasses)

#Monsterdon

ah, the 80s, when a crazy guy with a knife would'nt get gunned down by the NYPD. #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Dry grease as opposed to wet and greasy. So far anyway.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

Love this street preacher dude, want to join his religion

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "Where the hell did he get a knife like that?" I'm assuming he's the 5- I mean 4 time NYC underground pinfinger champion...

I recall a news story about people being evicted from a cave at some point in the past (they’d built homes for themselves). I’m surprised to hear that there’s a thriving underground community in New York in this film.

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

I will be shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, if we do not get a classic Petersen one-arm up-head-down-in-the-doorway shot

#monsterdon

he has his name tattooed on his arm with ta-da! lines around it #monsterdon

Zombie cops (maybe)

#monsterdon

OMG! John Goodman is in this movie. He'll be the cop in the diner. (Whenever that scene happens.)
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #CHUD
Unflattering shot.

Even Val looks like another American TV actor I can't quite place.

#monsterdon
#chud1984

#Monsterdon I don’t really grump about the makeup folks. Not really

Oh that's so sweet! #monsterdon

watch your step Botch

this ain't no murkworks, you don't belong here

#monsterdon #CHUD

Now you see why he turned to a life of crime out in the suburbs. #Monsterdon #CHUD1984

Val is great.

#Monsterdon

Captain Hardass Underestimates Disaster

#Monsterdon

gotta be the guy from Home Alone, yeah @Taweret

#Monsterdon

C.H.U.D. (1984) and #monsterdon is brought do you by Remy's Staining Fluid.

Need a shirt stained on camera, yesterday?

Use Remys!

🎵 When you need it gross today, callll rem-meys! 🎵

She’s got that Scully eye liner in this scene #Monsterdon
