Hood of Horror (a.k.a. Snoop Dogg’s Hood of Horror), directed by Stacy Title, is a horror-comedy anthology based on the comic book series of the same name. The film premiered on this day in 2006 as part of the Los Angeles Film Fest. It was later revealed to be the “secret” ninth film screened in the 8 Films to Die For film festival on November 19th, 2006. It opened worldwide in theaters on May 4th, 2007.
Snoop Dogg plays a gangster named Devon who becomes a “Hound of Hell” with the ability to pass judgment over the pure and the wicked. He oversees Hood of Horror‘s three chapters: “Crossed Out” (starring Danny Trejo and Daniella Alonso), “Scumlord” (starring Ernie Hudson, Richard Gant, Tucker Smallwood, and L. Kenneth Richardson), and “Rapsody Askew” which includes Jason Alexander and Lin Shaye.

Synopsis:
The Hound of Hell (Snoop Dogg) is a guide through three stories from a neighborhood of depraved citizens. There is a tagger who discovers that not all gangsters die hard, a foolish Texas oil fortune heir who kills for money but can’t afford to stay living, and a huge rap star who uncovers a few skeletons in his dressing room that try to kick down his door.
