#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!

@whknott @SordidAmok Hand sanitizer was unknown, for God's sake #monsterdon

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 #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!

Wet Bandit saves the day and foiled the evil G man's plans!

The G Man was the real monster all along!

THE END

The CHUD Zombies are safe and a young couple can now start a family of Zombie-resistent offspring!

Great #Monsterdon selection @Taweret thanks again!

#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

Goodnight sweet Bosch, and may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest

#Monsterdon

Problem solved!

#monsterdon

Bosch needs an ambulance, STAT!

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

What about the CHUD baby? Is there gonna be a post credits scene? That was an obvious et up.
#Monsterdon #CHUD

#Monsterdon 📸 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🗽 💩 😱

OK but don't smooch his whole face is filthy

Aw. He’s gone to join his wife in CHUD hell. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon ok NOW the synth soundtrack gets good

okay no we're just ending on the expensive panel van fire I guess okay

#monsterdon #CHUD

That was a fiery ending.

#Monsterdon #CHUD1984

Bosch has a .38 too. He just hasn't taken it out of his pants yet.

#monsterdon

BOSCH is ALIVE??

Oh, wait. Yeah, duh, shot in the heart. Cop. Yeah. #Monsterdon

FINALLY

#monsterdon

I saw John Heard's ass ☹️

#Monsterdon

the van exploded because it dropped 1 foot into the mahole? bosch is still alive? nothing is resolved? they just incinerated all the nuclear waste? #monsterdon

not a real movie unless a car blows up
#monsterdon

Looks like a .38 S & W Special.

#monsterdon

BOSCH AVENGED!

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza Because transporting it to Canada costs money, and he couldn't get permits to even move the stuff through NYC. It was presumably generated in the city. The guy promised he could remove it for cheap, couldn't, and instead of confessing he just did whatever made him the biggest profit.

#Monsterdon #CHUD

And HE died as he lived, nose-first in a stack of garbage. #Monsterdon

Panel van by Pinto

#monsterdon #CHUD

#monsterdon nice shot Reverend!

Please explain to me why the trunk just exploded in a fireball?

#Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai New York, L.A., and Tokyo are the only possible locations.

#Monsterdon

@Taweret grab me a cheesesteak, please. #Monsterdon

why didn't he just back it up? wtf...

#Monsterdon

oi damn! he really did come back and shoot him. how rude! #monsterdon

Fucking Wilson just shot Bosche! WTF?!

#Monsterdon

Wilson did say he would do that.....

#monsterdon

soylent green is chuds and they're all made of cabbage

which is how you get all the gas

#monsterdon #CHUD

Contamination Hazard Urban Disposal! I knew he was a Reagan cabinet member, the NRC has too much integrity.

#Monsterdon

I've got to have more gas!

#monsterdon

@SRLevine just think, only an hour left! #Monsterdon

@sealawyer The PIRANHA LAWYER wants THE STUFF THAT GIVES PEOPLE BIGGER TEETH!? #Monsterdon

@diazona @SnoopJ Going from this description I don't think you're behind

#Monsterdon
#CHUD

gargly noises #monsterdon

Whoa, suddenly the soundtrack is popping off for Bosch to do some cop stuff

#Monsterdon

Those two characters are already dead from radiation poisoning....

#monsterdon

Man, Wilson needed to get punched in the face so badly.

#Monsterdon

@eigen don't forget she showered too unlike everyone else on this movie #Monsterdon

Maybe they crossbred with sewer turtles #monsterdon

a. little. late. to. do. environmentalism. #monsterdon

A-ha! The true meaning of CHUD!!

#Monsterdon

Model lady has earned the right to survive. #monsterdon

"You're nothing but the government garbage man!"'

#Monsterdon

What's he talking about? What does it mean for a manhole to "go somewhere?" #monsterdon

wow, the model leveled up: all the way to wielding a scimitar and Grand Theft Cop-Car…

#monsterdon

@ohiofi If only.
