Tales from the Hood is a 1995 horror anthology film, directed by Rusty Cundieff. The film features four short Hood Film-themed horror stories, with a Framing Device that is itself a horror story. The film opens when Ball (De'aundre Bonds), Bulldog (Samuel Monroe, Jr.) and Stack (Joe Torry) three young gangstas in South Central Los Angeles, visit a mortuary to pick up drugs from its owner, the mysterious and eccentric Mr. Simms (Clarence Williams III). The drugs are stored deep within the building, and as Mr. Simms guides the men through his funeral home, he takes the time to narrate stories relating to his four of his most recent "customers." In his words, "Death - it comes in many strange packages."Rogue Cop RevelationRookie cop Clarence Smith (Anthony Griffith) witnesses his partner Newton (Michael Massee) and fellow cops Strom (Wings Hauser) and Billy (Duane Whitaker) brutally beat city councilman and black rights activist Martin Moorehouse (Tom Wright), who has been on a campaign against police corruption. When Clarence tries to stop them, Newton convinces Clarence that Strom and Billy will take Moorehouse to the hospital; instead, they kill Moorehouse and posthumously ruin his reputation by planting some of the drugs they've been dealing in his car and injecting him with heroin. Guiltridden, Clarence resigns from the force and becomes a drunk. One year later, he sees a mural of Moorehouse come to life, demanding Clarence to bring his killers to him. When he does, Moorehouse rises from the grave to exact his revenge.Boys Do Get BruisedWalter Johnson (Brandon Hammond) is a quiet and sensitive young boy with an interest in drawing pictures who is bullied at his new school. He often shows up to class with various bruises, none of which comes from the school bully. His teacher, Mr. Garvey (Cundieff), suspects that Walter is the victim of an abusive parent, but Walter claims that the bruises were caused by a monster that terrorizes him every night, to the point that he believes he must kill the monster before it kills him.KKK ComeuppanceDuke Metzger (Corbin Bernsen), a character named for actual white supremacists David Duke and Tom Metzger, an obnoxious and highly racist former Klansman turned Senator, decides to set up his gubernatorial campaign in the former plantation of his ancestor, Nathan Wilkes, who killed all his slaves at the end of the Civil War rather than let them go free. It is rumored the plantation is haunted by the ghosts of the slaves, who now inhabit dolls scattered throughout the plantation created by a voodoo priestess, Miss Cobbs. True to form, Metzger ignores this, but the rumors are completely true, and the animate dolls are more than happy to settle for exacting brutal revenge on their killer's descendant.Hard-Core ConvertIn an apparent shout-out to Jacob's Ladder, violent and hardened gangster Jerome Johns, better known by his street name "Crazy K" (Lamont Bentley) is gravely injured in a late-night ambush. Before he can be killed, the police arrive and end up killing his attackers, but Crazy K is still arrested, sentenced to life in prison without parole. Four years later, Dr. Cushing (Rosalind Cash) aspires to successfully test an experimental rehabilitation program on prisoners, and enlists Crazy K to be her test subject in exchange for release. Although eager at the prospect of getting out of jail, Crazy K is transported to Cushing's private facility, where he is put through horrific experiences that become increasingly surreal and nightmarish.Back in the frame story, the dealers grow tired of Mr. Simm's storytelling and resort to threats to procure their product, but Simms has one last surprise for the trio.A sequel, Tales from the Hood 2, was released in 2018, with Keith David taking over for Williams as Mr. Simms as he assists Corrupt Corporate Executive Dumass Beach in laying the groundwork for the morality of a new model of artificially intelligent police robot. A third movie Tales from the Hood 3 (released on October 6, 2020) has Tony Todd starring, as William, a lumbering man in his 50s, trying to outrun an unseen evil with a six-year-old child named Brooklyn, who tells stories to William distract them from said evil. | |

Dirty Coward | |
| Tales from the Hood / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: Clarence fails to prevent Moorehouse's death by being easily persuaded by his more experienced partner that he would be taken to the hospital. The zombified Moorehouse, rightfully blaming him for standing idly as the other cops assaulted and killed him, punishes him by framing him for the deaths of said cops. Newton, Strom, and Billy are shown to be rather spineless, the former refusing to report the others for their corruption and turning a blind eye to it, while Billy follows Strom's orders without question, and even Strom is reduced to a nervous wreck when Moorehouse comes after him. | |

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Despite actor Michael Massee and his character Newton Hauser being unambiguously American, in some shots (such as when his character is Suddenly Shouting when scared off by the zombified Moorehouse), he slips to a French accent (likely due to not just Massee being of French descent as he was born in Kansas City to French parents, but at the time filming his scenes back-to-back as Free French soldier Frenchie in a television remake of Sahara (1943) (where he even stayed in character off camera), released around the same year as this film. As a result, Massee's French accent still lingers when playing Newton. | |

Purgatory and Limbo: It's highly implied that the facility where Crazy K undergoes his "experimental treatment" is actually Purgatory. It would fit with a lot of the symbolism in the segment, including the fact that he's brought there after he was shot, the staff tend to dress in all white, the offer of redemption being accompanied by the need for purification, the state of torment while there, etc. | |

You Are a Credit to Your Race / Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: Crazy K is a murderous drug dealer who, during his therapy, is imprisoned next to a proud white supremacist who unashamedly raves about killing blacks, prompting Crazy K to punch him in the face. When the supremacist voices his approval of him because his victims happened to be black, Crazy K becomes silent and visibly upset, especially when the guy states that some black people will be spared if they think like him. | |

Affably Evil | |
| Tales from the Hood / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: Mr. Simms is sinister and creepy, and is clearly toying with Bulldog, Stack, and Ball, but he's still pretty charismatic and affable towards them, if a bit too story prone. He only begins their eternal torment in Hell after they pull their guns and try to kill him. | |

Domestic Abuse | |
| Tales from the Hood / int_590eb583 | comment |
Domestic Abuse: Carl regularly whips Sissy with a belt, and that's after he beats her son. He goes into overdrive when Mr. Garvey tries to intervene, beating up a total stranger relentlessly and almost killing Sissy with a frying pan. Walter even tells Garvey that he and Sissy had to move once because the abuse likely attracted police attention, hence why he's in his new school. | |

Politically Incorrect Villain | |
| Tales from the Hood / int_729c69f3 | comment |
Politically Incorrect Villain: Duke is a slimy white supremacist politician who moves into the slavery-era plantation that belonged to his ancestor, a slave owner who had all his slaves massacred at the end of the Civil War. The spirits of the slaves, contained in a doll army, proceed to torment the guy, who — true to form — replies with threats peppered with racial epithets. | |

Large Ham: At one point or another, nearly everyone in the film goes wild with their lines: Clarence Williams III absolutely goes to town as Mr. Simms.

Rosalind Cash, as Dr. Cushing in "Hard-Core Convert", starts out fairly regular, but she really starts Chewing the Scenery during Crazy K's experimentation, at first rebuking him for murdering his own people without a second thought, and then begging him to repent his sins and redeem himself. Duke Metzger also gets in on the hamminess. Michael Massee and Wings Hauser also get into the ham when they're being chased by the zombified Moorehouse. Carl, when he's in monster-mode, goes on furious profanity-laden tirades. Ball, Bulldog, and Stack also chew the scenery like no tomorrow. | |

Asshole Victim: Ball, Bulldog, Stack, Billy, Newton, Strom, and Crazy K are all murderers and drug dealers, making it quite hard to pity their demises. Carl brutalizes his girlfriend and her son every night, and even starts beating up Walter's teacher when he tries to stop them. Watching him get crumpled into a heap and burned alive is truly cathartic. Duke Metzger is verbally abusive to his own staff members, a massive racist, and a former member of the KKK, earning him the well-deserved fate of being killed by the dolls inhabited by the ghosts of the slaves his ancestor killed. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Tales from the Hood / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The rival gangsters that shoot Crazy K are shot themselves by the police. Even when that part and the rest of the story turn out to be a Dying Dream, there's still one detail that turns out to be right. Ball, Bulldog, and Stack really were shot to death afterwards. The fact that several cop cars just appear across from the rival gangstas can easily hint that everything up to this point is Crazy K's Dying Dream. | |

Cop Killer: Moorehouse returns from the grave to murder the corrupt cops who killed him. As punishment for failing to intervene in his murder, he frames Clarence, the only non-corrupt cop, for killing the others. The orderlies at the institution Clarence ends up locked in outright call him one, and find it baffling that he was also a cop. | |

While Metzger is more of a slimy Jerkass with his racist views, his ancestor brutally murdered every slave he owned when the Civil War ended, simply because he couldn't stand other people not being his property anymore. | |

Cycle of Revenge: Crazy K initially shoots Lil' Deke for killing a friend. In his later rehabilitation, he is confronted by the ghosts of all the people he killed, many as parts of other cycles, including some guys who hadn't even done the killing he killed them for, and a little girl who was hit by one of his stray bullets. In the end, he is gunned down by three other men in revenge for that last killing. Those men happened to be Stack, Ball, and Bulldog, the protagonists of the wraparound tale. In the end, it turns out that they too were slain for killing Crazy K, and are currently in Hell. | |

Hate Sink: The film is filled with characters that you will absolutely despise. Strom is a sadistic and unbearably smug Dirty Cop who goes out of his way to be a gigantic dick to everyone. His fellow corrupt cop Newton is less of an asshole, but his endless moralizing, smugness, and cruelty makes him just as hateable. Duke Metzger, a slimy politician and white supremacist who can't go a sentence without saying something racist. Carl is a short-tempered domestic abuser who beats both his girlfriend Sissy and her son Walter every night, to the point Walter has become convinced Carl is a monster who will eventually kill him (which is true, in a roundabout way). When Mr. Garvey tries to defend them, Carl quickly begins fighting him as well. | |

You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told You: Carl apparently told Walter that no one would ever believe him if he said where his bruises came from. In the end, Sissy points out that no one will believe their story when Carl dies, prompting Mr. Garvey to burn the body by burning Walter's monster drawing on the stove. | |

The fact that several cop cars just appear across from the rival gangstas can easily hint that everything up to this point is Crazy K's Dying Dream. | |
