C.H.U.D. Revisited
Aug. 25th, 2017 10:28 pmI bought a horror movie four-pack DVD the other day. The set contains the original "Children of the Corn," "Creepshow 2," "House," and "C.H.U.D." All of them are movies from my childhood, so I had to get it.
As I was coloring a drawing the other day, I put the "C.H.U.D." DVD in and watched it for the first time since high school. For those unaware of the movie, C.H.U.D. stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller. In NYC, toxic waste stored underground transforms transients into flesh-eating monsters. It's somewhat cheaply made and gory in places, but it's a very standard 1980's horror flick.
What surprised me about the movie is the number of future movie/tv-stars in early non-lead roles, including Patricia Richardson from "Home Improvement," John Goodman from "Roseanne," and the recently-late Jay Thomas from "Mork & Mindy" and "Murphy Brown."
I was thoroughly entertained as usual.
There was a sequel according to IMDB, so I may have to add it to my Netflix queue.
