We’re
entering a new age here at CHUD, with a refreshed stable of writers, a
re-energized concentration of efforts, and a focus on consistent,
knowledge-backed fun. To ring in this new era for the site we wanted to
bring you a truly special, truly memorable, truly incredible list that
characterizes what CHUD is about, and we think we’ve cooked up just the
thing.
The 25 Grossest, Most Execrable Moments in Film.
We’re
here to explore the most depraved, flinch-worthy, vomit-inducing (or
vomit-involving) moments ever put to film. We’re not interested in
simple gore and viscera here… We’re looking for the shittiest,
pusiest, cummiest, pukeiest, piss-filled scenes in the history of
motion-pictures. Some will be huge, some will be small, but they’ll all
be gross. We’ve also put an unprecedented amount of effort into
pre-planning, scheduling, and dividing the effort for this list, so
expect it to hit you every one of the next 25 weekdays (with a number of
special surprises planned for the weekends!).
So
without further ado, grab your nearest complimentary airsick bag (or
maybe just a whole trashcan) and jump into CHUD’s newest list.
DAY 22
The Exorcist (1973)
Does anyone really need this explained to them? When one considers a list of the most powerful bodily functions in film history is there anything that springs to mind before this seminal, genre-defining moment from the early 70’s? A young girl is possessed by a demon and projectile vomits on a priest. If that isn’t taboo (especially then), I don’t know what is.
But today it’s been run into the ground by spoofs and ‘homages’. Does it still hold its power?
In spades. Enjoy:
Even back then, it wasn’t as gross as it was shocking. And thick. And green. And projectile. OK, it’s pretty gross.
Ms. Chained Heat herself.
Jason Patric’s real-life father, the very talented and now very dead Jason Miller. He was a gifted writer and actor and he will forever best be known as the young pukepriest in The Exorcist.
That stain is going to test the skills of Georgetown’s finest dry cleaners.
Not as gross as this, which OUGHT to be a bodily function.
Today’s installment was written by Nick Nunziata.

I remember when this was rereleased after being banned for years in the uk. Jaded, cynical, UK Audience chuckled at most but I can still remember the mass audience *gasp* at the 'Jesus fuck me' moment.
Just got back from a suburban chicago screening. Less than 30 people in attendance, and 75% of them giggled, guffawed, and mockingly repeated dialogue back at the screen. People wonder why I refuse to go to the multiplex.
Ten friends and I went to the 10:30 show last night just outside of Scranton, PA and there were about 60 people in attendance. The sound was fantastic and all the effects still held up. The place was pretty much dead silent with the exception of a few laughs as a result of Regan's/Pazuzu's colorful (and iconic) turn of phrase. Overall, the most respectful and enthusiastic crowd I've been in since… seemingly forever. It was a really great experience since I was 1 when it originally came out. Please sponsor more of these events. The power of Christ compels you!
Went to the 7:00 screening at Settlers Ridge in Pittsburgh. Theater wasn't crowded at all, probably about 15 people total, but you barely heard a peep out of anyone aside from an occaional chuckle and a few gasps here and there. Overall it was a really good experience getting to see this on the big screen.
