Tales from the Hood
Tales from the Hood
Four short, moralistic horror vignettes (a la EC Comics) that deal with mostly black characters. The framing story introduces three youths out to pick up a drug shipment at a funeral parlor from the strange director, Mr. Simms. As the three punks wind their way through the parlor, Mr. Simms tells them the last stories of some of his more interesting clients.

Nobody mentions Tales From the Hood, like at all. This shit was off the hook and should be named up among the classics! We all know of Creepshow and how incredible it is but Tales From the Hood delivers the same goods from another angle- notably in racial issues.
I'd like to see what Spike Lee could deliver in horror nowadays or even if him and Jordan Peele collaborated on a horror flick together. This is a hell of a trip, man!
