Hello all, I have a request to know what the name of certain late 70s/early 80s horror movie is called. The plot evolves around some kind of monster hiding in the sewer in the city. It comes out at night, and kills people using its tongue (?). One scene I remember is when two workers doing some checkup-work in the sewer, when one of them is suddenly attacked. The other ones escapes, pushes the lid back on and thinks he's home safe. All of a sudden, the lid is smashed open and the guy is dragged down into the sewer.
This was a REALLY scary one for me in my younger years, and it would be great knowing what the name of it is. I've got a few suggestions that it was "chud", but that's not the one....
Thanks in advance!

Don't think so... it's a monster on two legs, pretty much like a human in that sense. It uses some kind of sharp tongue to kill its victims... that's all I remember, apart from it being killed at the end of the movie by some kind of heavy object falling down on it...

...And my guess would have been "C.H.U.D"

Yes, I remember this one from my "Betamax-phase" as well. My older brother had a copy of it, along with some other classics like the ToolBox Killers, Rabid, Bogey Man and so on.
I'm also trying to figure out the name of another horror flick from the 80s. It's a murderer killing his victims using a pair of scissors, and the movie has the mandatory victim in a yellow raincoat getting stabbed.
Think it's called something like "Masada" or similar and it might be Italian, but I'm not sure...
