C.H.U.D. III
With the renewed popularity of the teen scream
flick & capitalizing on the terrifying, yet obligatory hairy-ass
shot, 80's horror mogul Vestron Video & New World Pictures have
decided to diversify from their 'laser disc only' corporate mantras
and shift their focuses back to the production of d-movies* (at least
until laser discs make their triumphant return). Vestron's starting
point, as rumoured on Around Town, will be the optioning of C.H.U.D.
III. And for those of you who remember the C.H.U.D saga, you will
finally be able to fulfill your dream of the trilogy.
Ugly? Slobbering? Ferocious? Carnivores? You better believe it!
The newest installment revisits the notion of the
Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller. We pick up where the first
episode left off just after we found out that C.H.U.D., in fact, stood
for Contamination Hazard Urban Disposal. So where does that leave
us for this sequel? Not wanting to disrupt C.H.U.D.'s original formula,
and disregarding C.H.U.D II as a separate filmmaking zenith, New World
Pictures was hard-pressed to find another acronym utilizing the same
letters. What they came up with was a surprise casting call that will
undoubtedly change the movie world forever - Charlie Huddy.
Without
being too much of a spoiler, Charlie Huddy is a garbage man working
for a Urban Disposal outfit during the day, and by night he is a courageous
superhero investigating a series of bizarre murders in New York City
that seem to point to a group of grotesquely deformed vagrants living
in an apartment complex - which will feature the cast of Friends.
The casting or Mr. Rooter as the arch villain will at first confuse
the audience; but once we learn that C.H.U.D. actually stands for
Charlie Huddy's Unpenetrable D, we will at once understand why he
had so much trouble flushing toilets.
However, rest assured that Charlie Huddy's Unpenetrable D has a double
meaning. In this case, it is also a reference to his unpenetrable
defense from his Stanley Cup wins with the Oilers. You couldn't get
around this guy; you couldn't even get close to this guy; in fact,
New World Pictures can't even find him to start production. Another
Around Town rumour has placed Charlie Huddy as the hired bodyguard
of Bin Laden, John Connor, & Animal Chin. Yes, he's that good.
The FBI has no chance against a Stanley Cup Veteran, and neither does
the box office.
Vestron & New World Pictures have high expectations for this film.
Demographics are looking healthier than ever, and Charlie Huddy is
looking as strapping as ever - even more than he did in his audition
tape entitled "Battle of the Bulge". And because of that
unpenetrable D**, the studio has projected that C.H.U.D. III will
overtake their previous money leader Leonard Part 6.
*a type of movie shot on microfiche revolving around either unflushable
dumps or unrapeable inmates (normally played by Tiny 'Zeus' Lister)
**Charlie Huddy didn't have to wear a jock for a single game in his
NHL career |
