She recovered from her driveby blooding pretty quickly, but I suppose if that's gonna happen, the shower is the best place. #monsterdon

@Bluedepth @cienmilojos I was actually surprised that they were showing people dressed comfortably in New York, walking in a sunny park, etc. In the 70s and 80s, they'd usually go out of their way to make New York look uniformly dreary.

I'm guessing this is an early effort at portraying urban homelessness, which started increasing under Reagan's intensificaiton of neoliberalism.

I would bet anything somebody shoehorned that bloody shower scene in there after main shooting was over. “We need more skeechy female terror scenes! That’s what sells tickets!”

there’s such a funhouse mirror here with Hitchcock.

If this where a 50s movie, we’d have a scientist man dump some CHUD exposition by now. Do people turn into CHUDs by bite or radioactive sewage? Is there a whole CHUD society down there, with little CHUDlets? I need answers. #monsterdon

Whatever happened to the hot woman with the short jagged hair? Did she get eaten while I was in the bathroom?

There needs to be a term for the ten minute long comedy of errors that precedes a character getting horrifically eaten by a monster. Trip, break your ankle, drop your flashlight, car runs out of gas, et cetera. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon oh no. The gas went out. What could this mean?!?!?

But seriously, shouldn't he have gotten his undergrounder friends to get out BEFORE the gas was diverted to the underground?

My family had a gas range you had to light with a match when I was a kid. And my mom and dad only kept those cardboard matches you would get for free at restaurants and bars. So it took me a while to learn how to use the stove properly because I couldn't spark those matches with my baby fingers. #monsterdon
