Today's throwback features, Nigerian horror movies.
"Go to bed Aghogho!", my Mum would say to me as they were about to watch a scary home video ( we called them home videos then) but I wouldn't listen. I wasn't stubborn o(okay, maybe just a little). The problem was that I knew already that they were preparing to watch a scary film and even if I hadn't seen that particular one yet, I had seen enough for my imagination to run wild. I could not be alone. I would then decide to stay downstairs with the adults and add some more scary visuals to my memory bank. Fast forward to later at night, "Mummy, I want to go and wee wee". Now I'd need an escort to go with me to the bathroom before my shadow turns into a bat and whiffs me away.

The OG of scary Nigerian movies. This one haunted my dreams. My sister thought it was funny to sing the song or yell "ayamatanga" whenever I was in the toilet. Is it a surprise that I have to have all the lights on in the bathroom now?

| Ello Sir! Ello Ma! You gave me nightmares please |
This movie taught us not to join bad gangs. RMD made it not so bad to watch though *love sigh*
Then there was this movie "After School Hours"(no photo available), which I think was Nollywood's take on "Matilda"(Channelstv showed this one all the time). If the girl in that movie was in Harry Potter, she would be an Animagus (she turned into a cat to do her "winching") but here, she was just a small "winch".
Let me just drop this one right here

Before Falz made the cool song about her, she was terrorizing my dreams along with her sister "Nneka the pretty serpent"

I Love the way you Write, Keep it up Dear.
Yup, Those Movies were Definitely Scary.
Thanks!!!!
OMG! I saw all the scary movies except Ayamatanga. My peeps did not allow me watch. (sad). They all put the fear of God in me. Sadly, nollywood no longer create classics like these.
Did you see Deliverance? Till date, I pull back whenever I see an artwork.
