Does anyone else remember 1995’s Tales from the Hood? Hell, does anyone even remember Rusty Cundieff? I mean, like, including his mother?

It sounds like Snoop Dogg might, actually. Xenon Pictures is announcing that Hood of Horror, an anthology directed by Stacy Title, will screen as the special ninth film in the forthcoming “HorrorFest: 8 Films to Die For” (no word on what that does to the series’ promotional campaign), a weekend of hardcore horror flicks that, if you live in Los Angeles, you’ve seen the flippin’ billboards for everywhere.

Featuring Snoop himself, Proactiv candidate Danny Trejo, Anson Mount, erstwhile Playmate Brande Roderick, Lin Shaye, Billy Dee Williams, Jason Alexander, Method Man, Ernie Hudson and others, Hood of Horror will screen in 35 markets and in over 500 theaters
on Sunday, November 19 at 10 p.m. before its general release in early 2007.

Xenon Pictures is also offering a contest on www.jumpcut.com,
where contestants can use animated clips to create a new trailer for the film. The
two winning entries will walk away with $250 cash, and have their efforts film’s
web site and eventual DVD release. For more information on this and Hood of Horror in general, click here.
