Snoop Dogg Talks Potential ‘Hood of Horror’ Sequel
It’s the horror news no one was waiting to hear, but according to Snoop Dogg there will be a Hood of Horror sequel. Cue collective groan. The 2006 flick, directed by Stacy Title, was essentially a ghetto version of “Tales From The Crypt” with three tales of terror told by the Hound of Hell (Snoop Dogg) that revolve around the residents of an inner-city neighborhood whose actions determine where they will go in the afterlife. Hood of Horror also starred Danny Trejo and Daniella Alonso.
Bloody Disgusting’s Australian correspondent Maria Lewis spoke to the “dee oh double gee” when he was Down Under promoting his new album, “Doggumentary.” The rapper/actor said a sequel was something they were “definitely” considering.
“I’m a big fan of that movie so I think there will be a part two, three, what have you,” he said.
“I loved doing that movie.
“Actually, that wasn’t a movie I even liked when we were shooting it because it was awfully quick.
“But when it came out I kind of fell in love with that movie, I got fond of it.”
Snoop went as far to say he had even discussed further chapters with co-stars Aries Spears and Trejo, who also played a Hound of Hell. It will be interesting to see just how much support there is for a sequel/s, considering Hood Of Horror made a devastating $25, 900 at the US box office with an estimated budget of $5 million. We don’t know too many doggies who would want more of that biscuit.
Snoop, who has appeared in everything from Starksy and Hutch to Training Day, said a future in film, not rap, is where he sees himself heading.
“I think I will venture off into the film side because that’s where I can tell more stories of my vision, as opposed to my music.
“Because my music makes you close your eyes and you have to visualize what I’m saying.
“But if I was to shoot a movie you can see what I’m saying right off the top.”
With “Doggumentary” out now, Snoop said his next project was producing a TV show for his daughter Cori who wants to be “the black Miley Cyrus.”

New Documentaries Explore the Cult Legacies of ‘The Keep’ and ‘Wolfen’; Watch the Trailers Now [Exclusive]
Undersung werewolf gem Wolfen and Michael Mann’s The Keep get the spotlight in a pair of feature documentaries acquired by Antenna Releasing.
A World War II Fairy Tale, which covers the infamous production of and reception to The Keep, will receive a limited theatrical release in October, followed by a TVOD release on Apple/Amazon. The Keep will also screen as a double feature for some showings.
For Uncovering Wolfen, Antenna eyes a limited theatrical release for 2027. Both films are currently available for booking via Antenna prior to their theatrical and digital releases.
Both documentaries are directed by Stewart Buck, who co-helms with Stéphane Piter on A World War II Fairy Tale.
“We at Antenna are obsessed with film history,” said Chief Acquisitions Officer Billy Ray Brewton. “Stewart has done such a remarkable job of really diving into the deepest recesses of how these films were made and, in doing so, has created the definitive histories of both projects.”
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Antenna Releasing!” said director Buck. “It’s refreshing to see a filmmaker-friendly approach to distribution with people who know what it’s like to be in the trenches with independent projects that struggle to find a home in the crowded marketplace.”
Check out our exclusive trailer and poster reveal of both documentaries below.
Released in 1983, Michael Mann’s The Keep was a notorious box office bomb, critically lambasted and all but forgotten for years, save for the fascination with Tangerine Dream’s iconic score. In recent years, the film has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence and is widely considered a cult classic, though director Michael Mann and many cast members refuse to acknowledge it.
Wolfen, on the other hand, was critical success but was overshadowed heavily by its flashier 1981 siblings An American Werewolf in London and The Howling. It’s also a trailblazer for socio-political horror, and the doc will explore that via the craftspeople who made it.
Look for them both in theaters soon. Stay tuned for more as it arrives.
