#Monsterdon

It's been a long time since I've seen that one and it did not disappoint. Excellent #monsterdon pick. Thanks to @Taweret for hosting. This is RobynGoodfellow reminding you to control the pet population. Have your #CHUD spayed or neutered.

#monsterdon Bosch gets to the storm drain cover at the very last minute, and is shot in the back by the NRC guy! AJ and Cooper just barely make it out of the sewer, only to be attacked by the now-murderous NRC guy in the truck that was blocking the manhole! AJ takes aim and puts the last bullet from Bosch's revolver through the windshield and the NRC guy, also igniting the panel truck in a shower of sparks! ROLL CREDITS

The CHUDs fucked off under your city and live there to this day!

#Monsterdon

quality monster fx, gotta give it that

#monsterdon #CHUD

Moral of the story:

If gallons of toxic blood spurt out from the drain onto your face -

It's OK!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon and that was CHUD (1984) :D

classic and influential, but flawed and kinda weird, at least the plot more or less progressed and things happened routinely!

sometimes fun sets, great fun makeup work on the chuds and victims, and a fewjaunty synth tunes

good times all :D

So

Wait

Are the monsters dead? Did the plan work? I mean, we didn't even SEE any CHUDs after the apartment, were they even still in the sewers when they turned the gas on?

WAIT, and what about the other homeless folk down there, did the gas kill them?

People if you're gonna introduce plot threads you really do need to complete them. #Monsterdon

CHUD baby looms up into camera from a pool of blood:
"I'll be back."
#Monsterdon #CHUD

So did they blow up Manhattan or what? #monsterdon

So the photographer got zero photographs of anything. That means I get the Leica with the motor drive. Good ending. Good night!

#monsterdon
#chud1984

and so everything got... resolved? idk

ty for joining, everyone!

#monsterdon

now Bosch can be with his decapitated wife in CHUD heaven #Monsterdon

That delivery van had a lot of explosives for something that looks like it delivers bread.
#Monsterdon

That was it? The CHUDs didn't get wiped out?

#Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai Also it is a placeholder for the Reagan administration's neglect of cities/poverty/etc.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon ok i fucking LOLed when the truck dips into the manhole opening and EXPLODES IN FLAMES

...And then the car explodes? For some reason? #Monsterdon

Bosch, No!

#monsterdon

This repetitive music is getting a bit repetitive.

#Monsterdon #CHUD

LMAO he blew up

#Monsterdon

Nice shootin' Tex. #Monsterdon #CHUD

It's the key to the city!

#monsterdon

The huge increase in BPM at around 1:30 in this movie is stressing me out. I feel like I should be doing aerobics or something.

#Monsterdon

Are you afraid people are going to get wind of your gas?

#monsterdon

But why dump in New York City? (Okay, so we can have a plot)

#monsterdon

THANK YOU jeeezus. how much better would all our lives be if we could just punch some bureaucrats and take the keys for ourselves. #monsterdon

@SordidAmok soylent green is CHUDs?

#monsterdon #CHUD

"...I know what C.H.U.D. stands for! Cannibalistic my ass!"
"Nah, that can't be right. The letters don't line up."

#Monsterdon #CHUD

Okay that is a good question though, why would they dump it in NYC when there's ACRES of Canada available? #Monsterdon

bosch is the most boring hero cop in any movie ever lol

#monsterdon

out like a cheap string of fairie lights

#monsterdon #CHUD

@riedlr There was a little bit of a nod to the 'don't get involved' mindset from someone earlier I noticed. One of the females.

-dont look when you hear screams or shots

-dont leave your radio in your car overnight if parked on the street

-dont go on the subway after midnight if you can help it, especially on a branch

#monsterdon

Breaking news: CHUDS now evolving to be more giraffe like
#monsterdon

falling asleep on the job? No problem, just folks dying. #monsterdon

Oh. The sword and the neck answer each other. Okay fine.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

#monsterdon random sword well used, very proud of her

yeah throw stop bath in his face

#monsterdon

okay this whole bit is AWESOME

#monsterdon

I feel like there's a whole trope called Barricades Can Be Used Against You

#Monsterdon
#CHUD

Why would they dump toxic waste in NYC? Love Canal isn't *that* far away.

#monsterdon

Are they still really human enough to be counted as cannibals, though?

#monsterdon #chud

Her apartment is supposed to have a fire escape
#monsterdon

okay I love the glowing eyes

we don't get enought monsters with glowing eyes

#monsterdon

and THERE'S the classic monsterdon "we ran of money" ending #monsterdon

All we have to do is find the bluetooth earbuds

#monsterdon

CHUD outside the door: Candygram!

#monsterdon

A realy New Yorker would know NO ONE helps a screaming woman in the 80s. #monsterdon

AJ is the smartest guy in the movie #monsterdon

Waiting for some Keith Haring graf.

#monsterdon

@Zerofactorial It's like when people call a dissection of a dead animal an autopsy. It's a necroscopy! Autopsy would be if your cat performed it on a dead cat! Terminology folks, get it right or be mocked!

#Monsterdon

I'm not sure why the model isn't more freaked out about what happened in the shower.

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

#Monsterdon game over man, game over

We didn't know it, but the whole film revolves around the John Heard/Daniel Stern relationship.

#monsterdon

The radioactive junk isn't glowing. Nice, actually.

#monsterdon

Dammit! Now she's going to have to flashdance!

#monsterdon

A.J. is my favorite so far. I for sure believe this guy has a storied past

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon DOUBLE RUBBER MONSTER PAW SKULL GRAB FROM BEHIND. NYPD -= 2.

It was really only a matter of time, that was bound to happen.

#Monsterdon Yum!Cops. Should be a bingo spot.

I think we should hear the CHUDs out at least

#monsterdon

Checkov's swords? Tell me the lady's going to cut a zombie's head off! Please, movie, that's the only thing that would redeem it at this point.

#Monsterdon #CHUD

CHUDs are fun. 🤩 #Monsterdon

God so many problems in these movies would be solved if people would just use their cell phones

#monsterdon

Pfft, every New Yorker knows to check for C.H.U.D.s BEFORE they lock the door. #monsterdon

Oh, look there's Dan Hedaya #monsterdon

which noises are the CHUD and which are the soundtrack 🥴
#monsterdon

Yes, make sure you step out of your apartment so the monsters know you're there, go BACK FIRST so you're vulnerable, and then stand directly next to the door. Good, excellent. Aaaaand die. #Monsterdon

that ding... anyone else remember Taco Bell Commercials with that ding?

Or the opening to Danger Zone?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon And I also always recall this movie when I end up parking or standing on a manhole cover with my car.

AS a precaution we're going to park cars on every manhole below 34th street. #monsterdon

Of COURSE the toddler is named Justin.

#Monsterdon

It's a massacre with no one confirmed killed (?!?!) #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

Bosch needs to be angrier at Wilson about his dog

@jonny NUCLEAR zombies though

#monsterdon

I guess Victor needed a bigger bandage.
#monsterdon

The homeless really are the lumpen prols by the way. No awareness of class struggle.

#monsterdon

I think Bosch's anger is deserved. Also, don't blow up New York

#monsterdon

OK, that was funny. Soup kitchen guy smacked the CHUD lady who smacked the photographer. #Monsterdon

Wow, that is a LOT of CHUDs at that restaurant.

#Monsterdon

Outta the way! BOSCH comin' through!

#monsterdon

did he just, like, /shove/ her unconscious?

#monsterdon

Yay Shepherd lives!

#monsterdon #chud

Victor's gone CHUD!!!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Aww, no, AJ is definitely not OK. :(

edit: retraction! AJ is OK! I say again, AJ appears to be OK!

Finally, they attack in the open

#monsterdon

every man hole sealed off in a 10 block radius? are we doing phrasing? #monsterdon

#monsterdon blood shower, check. Normal flower arranging after blood shower, check. Nothing to see here folx.... just another boring day in NYC.

the synths went wild and there was blood everywhere but what the fuck did she pull out of the drain? #monsterdon

No bodies
No witnesses
Just
BLOOD

#monsterdon

john goodman?? #monsterdon

I want a cheeseburger

#monsterdon

And that's how she got hepatitis

#monsterdon

This shower scene is much less R-rated than I was expecting

#monsterdon

that's a very fancy showerhead for 1984. #monsterdon

The CHUD is gonna get up into the bathroom, eat her, and then discover the joys and wonders of soap and change its life forever. #Monsterdon

Blocked shower drain

Now I'm relating to these people....

#monsterdon

@whknott NYPD, innit? #monsterdon

CHUD RAVE! They are their own glow sticks.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

#Monsterdon I always think of these scenes when I’m downtown and cross ducts and vents, and elevator subterranean hatchways. I always chuckle “CHUD’s gonna get ya”
