At the very beginning of Us (2019), a copy of "C.H.U.D." can be seen. C.H.U.D. stands for "Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers"

They actually reveal in CHUD that it stands for Contamination Hazard Urban Disposal.
But yeah the other definition is better :) and it hinted to me how many of the underground folk lived.

Might be a stretch but seeing as Peele more or less said everything in the movie was purposeful, The Right Stuff being on the shelf is also a cool detail. The god Mercury, and The Right Stuff being about the Mercury 7, is boiled down as the god of boundaries and the guide of souls to the underworld.

I believe there was an interview where he said that he had his actors watch like 6 classic horror films before he started filming “US” so that they could get the feel for what mood he was trying to portray. I think C.H.U.D was one of those movies, as well as Birds and several other films I can’t remember off the top of my head right now.

Matter of fact one may have also been the Goonies, which I see is also on the shelf
