Background

Crazies are a group of cannibals living in Manhattan, New York. At the end of the month when they run out of food they come out of the sewers and search for people to eat.

During the events of Escape from New York (1981)

Snake Plissken returns to the site of the escape pod but has to run for cover when Crazies emerge from the sewers. He meets a woman in the Chock Full O'Nuts store who recognizes Snake but had heard he was dead. Crazies attack and drag the woman underground while Snake manages to get away, but drops his walkie talkie in the process.
