Tales from the Hood

Tales from the Hood is a 1995 horror anthology film directed by Rusty Cundieff, and executive produced by Spike Lee. The film presents four short African Americanthemed horror stories, presented within a frame story of three drug dealers buying some found drugs from an eccentric and storyprone funeral director.

During his first night on the job, young black police officer Clarence Smith Anthony Griffith is taken by his new partner, Newton Michael Massee, to the scene of what initially appears to be a routine traffic stop of a welldressed black man. When Clarence runs the cars license plates, he learns that the man is in fact Martin Moorehouse Tom Wright, a city councilman and black rights activist who has recently been on a crusade against police corruption. Clarence watches in horror as Newton, along with fellow officers Billy Duane Whitaker and Strom Wings Hauser, brutally beat Moorehouse with their nightsticks and vandalize his car. When Clarence insists that Moorehouse should be taken to a hospital, two of the officers appear to agree.Clarence tells Newton that Billy and Strom should be reported for what they did, but Newton tells Clarence that officers are not to break the code. Strom and Billy drive Moorehouse car to the docks. Strom shoots the battered Moorehouse up with heroin, plants some in his car, then pushes it into the water with Moorehouse still inside. Moorehouse is posthumously labeled a hypocrite. ........
