Greetings my little October 'Spider-Bites'. Tis I, DITA DIRT NAP, Your 'MSS. SHOCKTOBER' bringing you a fright flick that takes place 'on' Halloween!

This week I bring you ;C.H.U.D. 2;'BUD THE CHUD'. Now sadly as some of you may or may not know that the wonderful Lead Actor who played 'BUD' THE C.H.U.D. Has died earlier this month. He was 77. That great character was played by the LATE GERRIT GRAHAM!

He is also widely known in the Cult-Flick ;'PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE', w/'DITA-Fave'; Rainbeaux Smith> https://youtu.be/T9yof8cwli4?si=1YTDUJ22HikVS1Mt  as well as in ;'CHILD'S PLAY 2'> https://youtu.be/QQ578YDz-sQ?si=GbDEuFHrs8Hx889l and another 'DITA-Fave'; 'NATIONAL LAMPOON'S'; CLASS REUNION'> https://youtu.be/dUBcijwR5aM?si=edKUTQ6WKBYOmyVK , 'PRETTY BABY' w/Brooke Shields> https://youtu.be/MrQ8uuV3tpI?si=VhAtGKLN16Hxfnn5

He will be sadly missed and his character made this 'Horror/Comedy' Flick fun! In fact DITA hopes next Halloween -2027, that the 'NEW BEVERLY CINEMA', here in Hollyweird will show it on the 'Big-Screen' as a 'MIDNIGHT MOVIE' or on 'Grindhouse -Night' along w/'CHILD'S PLAY 2' and of course; 'PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE'. If they do next year, Dear Old DITA will let you know.

Now as we know CHUD stands for cannibalistic humanoid underground dweller. Let DITA first say that this film is a funny horror/comedy w/bite from the 80's. To see what I mean Click here to see the very 80's Trailer of; C.H.U.D. 2-BUD THE C.H.U.D.> https://youtu.be/az_L-SFTrpo?si=XdKGGnYZxXL1dxSQ   See what I mean, Hon?

Any-Boo, this movie; 'C.H.U.D. 2' starts with two young guys working in a Government Lab where the Frozen Dead C.H.U.D. from the first film ended up being stored to later study by scientists. One thing quickly leads to another, the CHUD Body ends up on a gurney and somehow gets set free by rolling away down a slanted ramp and right out the open exit doors and then into rush hour traffic. Then the chase is on w/the two boys in hot pursuit of the run-away CHUD. Long story short, they catch it and bring it home to the Brain Robbins/Lead characters parents house. They end up putting Bud The C.H.U.D. in the bathrooms tub w/ice and water. Then they accidentally drop a plugged in blow dryer in the tub too, witch brings the BUD back to life. Re-animation if you will. Then the hilarity slowly starts to ensue.

Some how Bud The C.H.U.D. escapes from the boys after biting the family poodle, which comes back to life as a C.H.U.D/Zombie Poodle. Then Bud wanders around the neighborhood and has a very funny scene of biting a middle-aged House-wife who is 'Jazzer-sizing' in leg-warmers and very 80's work-out wear. BUD bites her and then quickly moves on thru-out the small town, stops at the Barber Shop, gets a hair cut and , yes, you guessed it, he bites the Barber. This goes on of him biting various townies like a cop, then a mortician, more towns-people, etc. till he and the newly re-animated bitten townies start to travel in a pack to the towns burger place and bite everybody there. This is where the Military trying to re-capture the C.H.U.D. for legal reasons and to cover their own asses, get involved at the Burger Place and end blowing the entire restaurant to smithereens. LOL!

With the military in hot pursuit, they realize that since its also dark now and happens to be 'HALLOWEEN-NIGHT', that the probable next move for the traveling C.H.U.D./Zombie pack to go to for a human-buffet, is the big town 'HALLOWEEN-PARTY' w/lots of available dancing , partying, human food in one place, which is already in full-swing and at full-capacity. They are correct. But first the C.H.U.D.-Zombies make their way thru the town 'trick-or-treaters', which are now out in droves on the residential streets. It is here DITA adds that you should now look for the first Dad taking his daughter who's by the way, dressed like a Witch, trick-or-treating, and wearing a Trench-Coat, Why, You may ask? Cuz it's a quick Uncredited Cameo by the Great ROBERT ENGLUND AKA FREDDY KRUGER. No foolin!

Any-way, the C.H.UD./Zombie as you would imagine start biting all the 'Trick-Or-Treaters' and their Parents. T-h-e-n they all head over the afore mentioned town 'Halloween Dance Party' in full swing. By the way, at this party , one of the bands take the stage and sing the fun/culty 'BUD THE C.H.U.D.'- Song, witch DITA will install in my review for you to listen too here, Hon> https://youtu.be/84QuDS4Rxr4?si=wX6MpmYaxJ_e1d7j  Your welcome, my little 'X-rayed Trick-Or-Treat Bags!'

Before DITA forgets, their is a cute/quick scene during the 'Trick-Or-Treating', where the C.H.U.D./Zombies go in for candy at a house with Norman Fell of 'THREE'S COMPANY'-Fame and JUNE LOCKHART Of; 'LOST IN SPACE'-Fame play a senior Married couple handing out candy. The first C.H.U.D./Zombie comes in the house and bites their pet canary. Then a big group of them back the Couple up against the couch, knock them both over and behind the couch and they all bite them both and of course they both 're-animate' quickly and go with big C.H.U.D/Zombie pack to the Halloween Party/Dance. To see this scene w/NORMAN FELL & JUNE LOCKHART having 'Trick Or Treaters' in for a Bite that is hilarious! Click Here> https://youtu.be/5nbV9mkpu10?si=acCBbnla3MfSxTDr

Then the Lead Character of Brian Robins (One of the Stars of the old 80;s TV Show; 'HEAD OF THE CLASS'), comes up with a way at the Party which is being held at the local high school, to kill all of the C.H.U.D.'s. How you may ask again? By leading them into the school's pool in the gymnasium. They all fall into the pool, of course. The Lead-Characters girlfriend was used as bait to get them into the pool.  All by the way, she is wearing the ugliest 80's Swimsuit when she dives into the pool, to get the Chud/Zombies to follow you see. Then the gang-heroe's spray them all w/some gas that freezes them all and use electric shock to......to. Wait a minute, my little rotted 'jack-o-lanterns!' You surely know by now that DITA never tells the whole story.

I will say that the ending involves a 'black C.H.U.D.-heart' offered to the Heroine, some things exploding, and a Military character played by a well-known TV character Actor, the Lead Teen Male character with a C.H.U.D-bite received on his foot in the pool scene and possible a C.H.U.D.- Pet a-n-d last but not least; BIANCA JAGGER, driving away in a truck.

DITA will say this fun 80's Horror-Comedy Sequel which is a fang-tastic cult-comedy that really should be shown as a 'Double-Feature' on 'Grindhouse Night' at the 'NEW BEVERLY CINEMA' which this fun/culty comedy flick, especially now that GARRIT GRAHAM has passed away and has now over the years gathered a Big Cult-Following, is very enjoyable and would be a great selection to watch this Halloween, a-f-t-e-r your Halloween-fun is done, your Candy is collected and sorted by kind, size and sort, laying on your lap, to be eaten while viewing this big 80's cult comedy fright-flick by a roaring fire!!! It would also be very atmospheric, to have your Halloween be on a dark and stormy night with a big bowl of 'scare-corn' served out of a lit 'jack-o-lantern' and pizza w/extra road-kill tire tracks. DITA and my good fiend and close by Neighbor the 'MAD DR.-D.' 'had a 'high-time' re-watching this devilishly-good time film at his lab ,here in West Hollyweird on 'Amazon-Prime'.

Actually when it was over and DITA got up to head back home from the Mad Doctor's creepy-condo, he happily handed me a small 'trick-or-treat'-bag filled with Peanut-Butter Cups and small bottle of what he jokingly referred to as ;'Evil-Bong' Lube. DITA smiled a toothy-grin and cackled; Oh, D., you know me so well!

DITA loves this 'takes-place-on-Halloween' culty comedy fright flick and gives it a perfect 3 Skulls out of a 3 Skulls Score!  Watch it con/mota, my little Dolly Madison snack-cake, by simply STREAMING it on 'Amazon-prime FOR $3.99 OR STREAM it FREE on 'TUBI!'

Until next week,
Candy-Corn 'Chainsaw-Kisses',
