C.H.U.D. II: Bud the C.H.U.D. is a 1989 comedy horror film. It is a loose sequel to C.H.U.D., mostly in name though the ties do carry on into dialogue and plot. As in the first film, C.H.U.D. stands for "Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller", but the alternative acronym (Contamination Hazard Urban Disposal) is not carried over. The script was originally intended as the second sequel to Return of the Living Dead, retaining the geometric progression of the zombie menace, talking zombies (here saying "meat" instead of "brains") and using the word "zombies" to refer to the reanimated corpses. One plot similarity to the actual Return of the Living Dead 3 is the idea of freezing zombies to stop them (which is only a temporary solution in both films).

At the start of the film, the US Government has ordered a branch of the US Military to discontinue tests concerning "the C.H.U.D. project", which is built around the idea that enzymes taken from the sewer dwelling creatures from C.H.U.D. can make hyper-effective killing machines in the army. For reasons that are unclear even to those who watch the film, the last specimen of the experiment (BUD the C.H.U.D.) is hidden away in a Centre for Disease Control in a small American town, where a trio of bumbling teenagers accidentally steal and reawaken him. Bud escapes and begins to forge an army of C.H.U.D.s while harboring a deep love for Katie.
And an uncredited cameo by Robert Englund
Originally intended for a theatrical release, the movie was released on VHS and laserdisc by Vestron Video. In 2003, a DVD was released in the United Kingdom, but as of December 21, 2009, Lions Gate has yet to announce any plans for a Region 1 DVD release.
