When BuzzFeed deliberately shared some loud chomping sounds – the monsters! – it went down about as well as you’d expect.
Here’s the hellish soundscape in all its glory. Can you bear to turn the volume up?

Nick Pettigrew tried to stomach it, but failed.
Nope, got two seconds in. Nope nope nope nope NOPE. That awful fucking wet smacking sound before they’ve even taken a bite. Like a slug fucking your ears.
