Genuinely? One of my favorite anthology films and EASILY the best horror anthology I’ve seen. Hilarious that I JUST saw Dead of Night last night and this (I think) pays homage to that (scary puppet!) or at least follows the same format.

Amazed at how creative it goes about telling such heavy stories. At any given moment this is either funny, horrific, powerful, or incredibly unique. You truly can’t lose here.

A 1970's Amicus/E.C. portmanteau reconstituted in 1990's horrorcore, Tales From The Hood is conceptually and structurally unified to a much greater extent than most anthology horror films, finding real terrors within citizens murdered at the hands of police, domestic violence, white supremacist politicians, the prison system, gang warfare. Tales From The Hood is most notably a classical horror film, directly in keeping with its Dead Of Night/Tales From The Crypt/Creepshow lineage, without throwaway segments or overreliance on comedic relief. Pointedly, the wraparound is set in a funeral home, allowing for the stories of the dead to be retold. Tales From The Hood is agitprop horror, direct in its anger, finely crafted in its effects. One of the great works of 90's horror, my only regret is that there weren't more of these such that Clarence Williams III's Funeral Director could not have had another shot at becoming the masscult horror host/icon as so obviously and desperately required.

An all timer if you ask me, I love every segment and how there’s nothing subtle about this bold, loud, slice of 90’s Fire. Unlike many, 90’s horror is actually one of my favorite things... and Tales From the Hood is one of the decades Crown Jewels—delivering the goods (the shit!) in droves. Might be my favorite anthology and easily has my favorite cryptkeeper! 

Modern classic.

I’m so glad Tales from the Hood received the collectors edition treatment from Scream Factory. If you haven’t scene this yet and you’re looking for an anthology to check out for spookyseason, watch this. Totally aware, totally awesome, still relevant 22 years later, and probably my favorite of the ‘cryptkeeper’ characters from any horror media.

This is now one of my favorite anthologies ever and a new Halloween favorite even though it doesn't take place around Halloween.

Sorry I have to do the opt-out, non specific thing by saying 'it's still relevant' but it's still relevant.

Harness the powers of the harvest to direct healing energies where they're needed this Halloween season!

(Just a general reminder mostly for myself but for anyone else badly needing a boost rn.)

I’ve been dabbling back into CHAPELLE’S SHOW, and thinking about Rusty Cundieff. I hadn’t seen this since high school, and while it’s still a conventional horror anthology, it’s also still way ahead of the curve. Often mislabeled as a comedy, it’s essentially Carpenterian—socially audacious, angry, surprisingly brutal, and well-crafted.

Classic.

Four fun and quirky horror stories with a touch of comedy, if you haven't seen Tales from the Hood do so, if you haven't seen it recently do so. It's not especially scary or creepy it's just smart, in your face political commentary that revolves around race and in a world where people still think films like Green Book deserve awards we need as much of that as we can get.

My favorite story is "KKK Comeuppance" but they're all great.

Fantastic anthology, I'm pretty sure it's the first one I ever watch. Clarence Williams III turning into the devil was the closest I ever came to being scared shitless. The social commentary is out of this world. Watching these characters being continuously failed by systems that should be in place to protect them adds an extra layer of grief for me. I've been watching this movie for about 20 years and it's still a great watch every time.

A seriously great horror anthology, which is pretty rare since the subgenre is so difficult to get right. It does a good job at balancing humor and horror, and all four stories are captivating, though much darker in tone than similar films like Creepshow. The last story especially was some genuinely creepy ass shit.

Very good movie. This movie speaks for itself.

The stories are varied, go for the throat, the effects are just right. Good shit.

Other than that last short held up way better than I expected!

Reminds me of when I used to read Bites: Scary Stories to Sink Your Teeth Into in fifth grade.

One of the best anthology series I've ever seen. It's rare that every story in an anthology is good. There's always bound to be some duds. Tales from the Hood has no lackluster parts. It's engaging and quickly paced throughout. It also has an incredibly charismatic host, in the form of Mr. Simms. Like any good horror host, he manages to terrify and entertain. I think the only one more terrifying is The Crypt Keeper himself.

"Cain was the world's first murderer. He slayed his brother. And how many brothers have you slain?"

Really creative and dark anthology horror film. This mixes a bunch of humor with dark and heavy ness throughout the film. Every story had something to say and they were captured good. This movie is flawed though, I’m not gonna ignore the flaws. Not that much of the flaws in this being it down but I don’t know. But you can’t not have a Funtime with this. Anyways this film is good and a great anthology horror film and of the best anthology horror films probably. And yeah that’s all I have to stay and this was really unique, creepy, dark and funny

“Yeah, like some refried beans 'n some shit. Man, I never understood that, man. Why the FUCK you gonna refry some beans, man? Why not just fry that shit right the first time?”

Rusty Cundieff’s Tales from the Hood is a brilliantly incendiary and incredibly entertaining funhouse of weighty and provocative horrors that I feel lacks a larger fanbase because of how damn similar the title is to a handful of other genre films. But I insist, this film is *essential* viewing for genre fans. One of the best horror films of the 90’s AND, with four equally great segments, a fun wraparound story and a flawless ending, I can safely call it my all-time favorite horror anthology too.
