Tales from the Hood

It’s multiple movies for the price of one during TWISTED ANTHOLOGIES MONTH at Mondo Mondays, featuring an avalanche of anthology horror flicks packed with more scary stories than inhumanly possible!

“Chill or be Chilled!” In this entertaining homage to classic horror anthologies like Tales from the Crypt, an over-the-top mortician (Clarence Williams III) tries to scare a gang of teen drug dealers by trapping them in his funeral parlor and telling them four strange tales of terror, revenge and zombies … from the Hood!   Tackling issues that still plague us over 30 years on, the fiendishly fun, culturally-pointed stories in Tales from the Hood right social wrongs with a wicked grin: killer dolls terrorize a racist Southern politician; an abused boy gets even with his mother’s vicious boyfriend thanks to a little supernatural assistance; a victim of murder by police returns for bloody revenge; and gang members and drug pushers get a hard lesson in who they’re really working for.  Starring David Alan Grier (In Living Color), Corbin Bernsen (The Dentist), Rosalind Cash (The Omega Man), Wings Hauser (Vice Squad), and Samuel Monroe Jr. (Menace II Society), etc., and executive-produced by Spike Lee, Tales from the Hood is a creepy, crafty, frighteningly fun horror anthology with something to say, from the director of Fear of a Black Hat! (Dir. by Rusty Cundieff, 1995, USA, 98 mins., Rated R)
