• Tales from the Hood: A Dead Seriously Good Film

  Don't be scuuuurrrred, the Halloween season is near! We dove into the 1995 horror anthology movie Tales from the Hood.Tales from the Hood is a horror anthology about three young men who visit a mysterious funeral home, where the eccentric mortician tells them four supernatural stories that blend scares with social commentary on issues like police brutality, racism, and domestic violence. Think "The Twilight Zone" meets urban horror, with each tale exploring how supernatural justice comes for those who commit very human evils.
