YES! We're celebrating black horror for Black History month with a look at Rusty Cundieff's truly underrated horror anthology, Tales From The Hood. The film's stand-in for the Cryptkeeper, an unhinged mortician played full-tilt crazy by Clarence Williams III, guides three gangbangers through four tales of urban woe and in the process addresses police violence, domestic abuse, racism, and cycles of gang violence in a truly unexpected way.

In Rogue Cop Revelation, a black police officer is haunted by the spirit of a political activist whose murder he payed a role in covering up. Unable to rest, the spirit demands the souls of the cops who killed him.

In Boys Do Get Bruised young Walter lies awake at night, terrorized by a monster that stalks the halls of his home by night. In the day, his teacher notices bruises on Walter that can't be explained by the usual schoolyard bullies. Walter's imagination harnesses a terrible power to stop the violence taking place in his home.

In KKK Comeuppance, a racist candidate for governor in a southern state comes under attack by the spirits of restless dead slaves when he buys an antebellum plantation as a deliberate fuck you to the black community he's campaigning in. They'll get their revenge by way of animated dolls that house their spirits.

In the final episode, Hardcore Conversion, a gangbanger is given a second chance when he consents to a behavior modification program that reconditions his violent tendencies by confronting him with the consequences of his actions and equates it to the same violence committed on black people by white mobs. Will he change his ways?
