Xenon Pictures announces the home entertainment release of the Urban horror anthology Snoop Dogg's 'Hood Of Horror'.

The film, which features the legendary rapper as the "Crib Keeper", presents three grisly morality tales that blend horror, anime,
live action and a strong dose of gallows humor.

The Xenon Pictures release, produced by Social Capital, BloodWorks, and Snoopadelic Films, which opened nationally in theaters in May, makes its long-awaited DVD launch on September 11th.  

Inspired in part by the classic Tales from the Crypt comic book
series, Snoop Dogg's 'Hood Of Horror' takes the urban nightmare into the realm of the supernatural and the bizarre.

Hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg stars as Devin, a slain gangster forced to atone for his misdeeds by
ushering his fellow sinners to their infernal "rewards", accompanied by his posse of scantily-clad succubi.

Described by Variety as "gleefully disgusting", this darkly comical gorefest boasts a stellar cast from the worlds of film and TV, hip-hop and pro sports, including WWF superstar Diamond Dallas Page, Aries Spears and NBA star Tayshaun Prince.

Also featured are Billy Dee Williams, Jason Alexander("Seinfeld"),  Method Man , NBA star Lamar Odom and NFL stars Teyo Johnson.

In addition to its eye-catching foil-embossed packaging and 24-page booklet, the DVD is packed with great extras, such as the featurette "Inside Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror", where members of the production team and cast discuss how the film came to be, what the characters are about and, even better, how they created some of the incredible makeup effects, including the notorious "40-ouncer-through-the-head".

Another feature,"Bringin' the Gore", gives a behind-the-scenes look at how many of the
visual effects were created, while "H.O.H.: The Anime" shows the painstaking work that went into creating the film's electrifying anime sequences. Also included are the Snoop Dogg video "Welcome to the Hood", an interview with sexy actress Brande Roderick, footage of the film's Los Angeles premiere, and much more!
