What the Fuck is Going On: When I was 18 years old [math tells us that this was the year 1990] I watched The Giant Claw on late-night television with old friends Dane Walker and Keri Johnson [who is now engaged to CHUD’s sometime contributor Steve Murphy!]. This was before I drank. It was also before I gave up on MAN.
The movie floored us. My penis was crying sticky tears of sadness joy. After the movie I drove home and got a ticket for no reason by an officer with the last name of Thomas who had a broken headlight. When I brought this up in court, he lied. He lied! Several years later I saw him again as the guard at some tiny dumb store. I hope his last days were very painful and that his children take alternating shits on his gravestone on the anniversary of his death that can’t be traced back to me.
This movie is so fucked. Seriously, of all the titles in this list of ten, this is the one link you must click to make a purchase. Your tummy will never be the same again.

This was probably the first objectively bad movie I recognized as such. I was less than ten (eight?) and found it laughable even then. You know a movies sucks when an eight year old thinks it's a funny piece of shit.
Enjoyed this list. Cool stuff. THIS IS WHAT CHUD IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT!!!! Thank you. More please.
Yes! I knew this movie had to be included. I've been in awe of this shitty monster since I saw IT CAME FROM HOLLYWOOD (which needs a DVD release badly).
Always enjoy the lists. Encore!
It's as big as a battleship!
