Welcome to the 'hood of horrors!
It's a place where your worst fears can come to life. A place where it's hard to tell nightmares from reality. A place where you will discover Tales From The Hood.
Stack, Ball and Bulldog arrive at a local funeral parlor to retrieve a lost drug stash held by the mortician Mr. Simms (Clarence Williams III). But Mr. Simms has plans for the boys. He leads them on a tour of his establishment, introducing them to his corpses. Even the dead have tales to tell and Mr. Simms is willing to tell them all. And you better listen – because when you're in the 'hood, even everyday life can lead to extraordinary terror.

This package boasts a great transfer, the image looks crisp, clean and very colourful throughout. As for the film itself, it's something. Very 90s. Definitely reflective of the those times.

Cool anthology movie with four stories told by an eerie host to a group of young criminals that takes place at a funeral home. Everything is awesome - plots, special fx, characters, place settings, everything. Worth to own on bluray.

I waited years for this urban masterpiece to hit blu and Shout Factory made it worth the wait! Love the extra features and Joel's Robinson cover. This is the best treatment of a must see horror film!

Oh my where to begin and how to not give away any spoilers? If you like the old-school anthology type horror reminiscent of Hammer or Amicus you can't help but love this movie! Some punks get the nerve to go into a mortuary/funeral home one night to get some drugs. Along the way the proprietor they are threating walks them past a few corpses and tells them stories about what events led to their deaths. Creative wrap-around story and totally absorbing tales - never boring - and a satisfying conclusion make this 'as good as it gets' when it comes to vignette-based horror!

I've waited years to purchase this movie on Blu-ray, the picture and sound is top notch as you would expect from almost all of shout/scream factory! Blu-ray releases, also I received a poster of the Blu-ray cover art work. :thumbsup:

I love this movie. I think it's one of the great horror anthologies and being set in Southern California "hoods" in the 90s is one of the best ideas that didn't get used enough, or well enough. An awesome horror flick that tells 4 stories with a 5th connecting them all. It's a must for any fan of 90s horror or anthologies!

I had never seen this before I bought. It's now one of my favorite horror movies. Sure it's a little campy but it fits it so well. Produced by Spike Lee, this movie follows in the tradition of Do the Right Thing and Crooklyn. Hilarious and greatly acted cast.

A great classic cult horror film from the 1990s, highly recommend picking this up for anyone who loves this movie & those who are just now being aware of the film's existence.
