Is this a prequel? Are we going to learn how the Wet Bandits formed?

#monsterdon

@strangefour It does with autocorrect:
Cooper hunting ugly duckers :)
#monsterdon

Ow. Just ow.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I can't decide if I like this photographer guy or not. He keeps swinging back and forth from complete asshole to defender of the unhoused.

No freakin' way I'd go into an underground hobo jungle without my gun.

#monsterdon

Dude has spent more time not taking pictures than taking pictures

#monsterdon

Also no one is allowed to share that I watched that show religiously as a teenager

WHAT HAPPENS AT #MONSTERDON STAYS AT MONSTERDON

Oh, I remember those red plastic flashlights.

#monsterdon

I have a gun.

#monsterdon

Uh Oh. Danger Synth. #Monsterdon #CHUD

Ah yes, Gog and Magog. Them again!

#Monsterdon

Oh, spontaneous knife...
#Monsterdon

Oh that guy definitely looks homeless. We get tweakers like that at the shelter all the time.

#monsterdon

ngl whoever's playing this Undergrounder is _working it_.

#monsterdon #CHUD

knife guy said ACAB, all cops are BowieTargets #monsterdon

"You go by the name of being alive! And you are dead! They have the power to shut the sky!"

Excellent dialogue, no notes.

#Monsterdon

I think this movie is a trope for Reagan's refusal to do anything about homelessness.

#Monsterdon

Val is amazing. this is what i will be in four years' time. GOG AND MAGOG! I KNOW YOUR WORK. #monsterdon

Totally feeling the Prince of Darkness vibe now #monsterdon @lorgonumputz

Ohhhhh, THAT Daniel Stern!

#monsterdon

@LingLass and they have so many! Like drug dealers and people cheating on their partners do! #monsterdon

@brooke This whole movie is an attitude problem

and I am here for it

#Monsterdon

Man, he's such a wonderful partner. You can really see what she likes about him >_> #Monsterdon

That guy was in Raising Arizona.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon this guy has an attitude problem

Lol, are the NY City government and Police in league to cover things up? Say it ain't so....such a honest town....such excellent mayors..../s

#monsterdon

Fun fact: they originally planned to call this C.H.U.B. but it was rejected by the MPAA. #Monsterdon

"Look, the DA is busting my ass..."

I always look for a line like this in an American movie

#monsterdon

Is this one of those underground films? #monsterdon

(indistinct growling)

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon i do *not* miss incandescent bulbs always burning out

Always cracks me up that Petersen thought of himself as an action hero type leading man

#monsterdon

So now we know where the random single shoes in the streets come from..... #monsterdon

Fried hair - so 80s! #monsterdon

@diazona they understood the assignment #monsterdon

At the time of this movie Ed Koch was mayor of NYC #monsterdon

I spare no one the agony of a cute little message.

#Monsterdon

extreme nostalgia for film cameras just onw.

also how creepy is that

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I'm calling bullshit on this movie having an editor.

It's New York, we don't have time to waste!
#monsterdon

The woman too, I see.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon arrr arr! And the little dog too! What a start!

lol, first victim....

#monsterdon

@Cherizilla @CactuarJoe mad, isn't it? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

Thank you, #Monsterdonians, for a fun show and lots of laughs! And as always thanks to @Cherizilla for bingo and @Taweret for hosting

watch out for the CHUD, everyone!

the sound track is great, this droning is fantastic

#Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial So far about 2300 posts (https://monsterdon-replay.gerlach.dev/c-h-u-d), with the average this year being 2800 for the main feature. Not bad. #monsterdon

@ohiofi Apparently that was an April Fools joke by Criterion. Boo. https://chud.com/45898/were-getting-criterioned/ #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I believe I watched an alternate version of C.H.U.D. in 1985 (or 86). I saw two differences: first, when Lauren cries for help at the apartment window, somebody screams back "call the Ghostbusters!". The other one is a scene showing some surviving CHUDs walking down a street, and the movies credit starts rolling. Is my memory playing tricks on me?

Anyway, great Monsterdon pick!

I love these characterizations. They're goofy, but quite believeable in this movie's fiction.

Anyway, A.J. is walking around in a basement. I'm sure he'll be fine, though.

#Monsterdon

I would never shove my Walther down my pants.

#monsterdon

@SordidAmok Something to put on the bingo card perhaps? @Cherizilla

#Monsterdon

That was a #Monsterdon!

Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for compiling the Bingo, and everyone else for the fun!

Cheers!

i didnt watch #monsterdon chud but i support john goodman the cop who gets eaten

anyway good job team and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting

#monsterdon #CHUD

@ramsey @forestine he's just pure chaos. #monsterdon

So are the C.H.U.D.s alpha-emitters? The NYPD crowd-control flamethrower gear isn't rad-hard, surely, so we can rule out gamma for sure.

Maybe it could also be some gas that emits betas, too, but seems the focus is on alphas with this gear.

#Monsterdon

@forestine @Lazarou He's also the same guy who put the padlock on the sewer entrance later in the movie.

#Monsterdon

All vehicles in the 80's had to be equipped with explosives, I guess... they might need to implausibly blow up at any moment

#Monsterdon

@forestine lol, that is a good point, and I swear I saw him eat a coin as an intimidation move.....what the hell was HIS story? #monsterdon

does he just like eating quarters and trapping people in the sewer?
#Monsterdon

soooo

who was the guy in the red polo shirt?

#Monsterdon

@ramsey

The trailer for Bud the Chud looks BETTER than the original. Like it understands that it's a B-movie!

#monsterdon

And I think it's nogo on the Bechdel test this week. They should have had a scene where Heather talked to the little girl (but not about the kid's grandfather) #monsterdon

@Louisa I think you nailed the big problem right there #monsterdon

So we're supposed to believe a little gas was enough to kill the CHUDs, I guess. They probably breathe worse than that every day #monsterdon

Who else had Killer Klownz start up after that on autoplay 😂

#Monsterdon

Going back to a previous digression on weird horror.
Why yes I own an untranslated anthology manga filled with Cthulhu mythos tales. Doesn't everyone?
#Monsterdon #cthulhu

@SordidAmok I thought I missed something while catching up on the feed! 😂

#monsterdon #chud

[smugly] "A Cannabalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller. A C.H.U.D."

I assume this guy is gonna get it later on

#Monsterdon

@bk1e We've done Q, though not the others before. Might be worth checking if they're widely available on streaming.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CHUD

Speaking of NYC monsters, @Taweret have we done Wolfen yet?

#Monsterdon

gotta say, for how much this was built up by reputation and title it was surprisingly tame! thanks all for another great #monsterdon and to @Taweret for hosting!

#monsterdon Duping bug found at the end of boss fight :: C.H.U.D. bug report - Steam Community

@flowerpot Oh no there is https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097001 #monsterdon

That was definitely a movie I had, until now, only seen in the form of a rental VHS tape at the local Blockbuster when I was in high school. Definitely deserves its cult status. Thanks for hosting @Taweret , see y'all next week!

(Vote Yeti!)

#monsterdon #chud

U-HAUL trucks courtesy of U-HAUL. okay, thanks. #monsterdon

🎥 🍿 C.H.U.D. (1984) 👍

#monsterdon #NoBechtelPass #NoBingoForMe

And that was another #monsterdon - thank you @Taweret @Cherizilla and the entire community for a lovely evening!

See you next time....

thanks friends that was...well, another allegory i suppose you could say #monsterdon #chud1984

Nice '80s synth ending theme tho #Monsterdon

@SordidAmok For the sequel!

#Monsterdon

@Taweret So, just to be clear, all the homeless people who lived in the tunnels, they all perished, right? #monsterdon

@gortbrown buds before chuds #Monsterdon

Good times, sad no cameo by Pizza Rat

#monsterdon

#monsterdon But hang on, didn't Kim Griest get CHUD-bitten?
... See you all for CHUD 2!!!

Pretty sure Bosch survives.

#monsterdon

@brooke shouldn't that have set off the entirety of the underground gas-flooded tunnels‽

#monsterdon

so now the sewers are full of gas, there's a bunch of cops standing around doing nothing, and our three """""heros""""" have to explain to the authorities why they shot a high level bureaucrat. no problem. #monsterdon

Second half of that was actually pretty good! I mean, for a medium-grade monster flick. Christ it took forever to get started tho'

#monsterdon #CHUD

Tubi autoroll: Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

#Monsterdon

JON POLITO WAS IN THIS?? #monsterdon

I think we have a cliffhanger for CHUD 2 - Now it's personal!
#monsterdon

Vehicle crash go BOOM I think it was a prerequisite for movies and TV in the 1970s and 1980s to normalise the Ford Pinto or something I dunno #Monsterdon

C.H.U.D. Has Unstoppable Dread

#Monsterdon

Oh, they lied!

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

What a CHUD!

Thanks @Taweret for hosting!

#Monsterdon

Bosch needs an ambulance, STAT!
