Nothing is constant in life but change.

Life keeps changing and evolving.

The filming quality was the best back then.
Now, it looks shitty.

Just like this present age technology will be shitty in decades to come.
Exactly.

watching horror movie is like one of the most illiterate things you could do,
Why would you want to scare yourself, when the thing you ought to fear most is already standing on your left shoulder.
When the devil is always so near , its very illiterate to provoke the devil by watching horror movie.

Horror movie is Gothic ideology only the ancient goths classed the horrific as a form of entertainment .
In case you dont know who the ancient goths of north africas are , today they are called the Europeans.

Try this , go to google images and type the word gothic into search, see what comes up.

Borrow what is good about gothic , now European culture and there are many , then spit out the rest, and they are many too.

If the world had not normalised insanity a long time ago the horrific would not be a form of entertainment !!!!

And whilst youre young the madness of the world can be absorbed by the energy of youth, but as you get older and have less energy
you would have to separate yourself from the madness lest it runs you over.

There is evidence of the insanity everywhere, example where you see people spraying money. To think those could be your employers, and judges and politician etc.

This is why in crazy times like this , its best to be self employed working from a private space .

I cannot tell you how many maniacs i have allowed myself to be subjected to in the course of job interview over 30 year engineering career. Cause in a world this crazy, you're best off avoiding such exposure of yourself to just anybody until order is restored to this realm.

And God help those who dont know this and chose to be school teacher , exposing themselves to the kids growing up thinking the horrific is a form of entertainment.

I grew up thinking horror movie was normal, until i was old enough to realise the darkness you're tempting by watching horror is never ever that far away, in fact one teacher said, evil is always as near to you as the sensation of pleasure, so that beware of your pleasures, can be your best friend and worst enemy.

Cause when the horrific has become a form of pleasure for you, you no longer a human being.

I think it was "POT OF LIFE" which was produced by NTA Benin grin grin grin around 1981/82

If you see what "Aimiuwu" - the virgin girl went through when going to the "Land of the dead" to retrieve the pot of life for the sick Oba

you will know that "willie willie" dey learn

----- you will see the casket open, "ENTER MEEEEEEEEE ENTER MEEEEEEEEE..... I AM RICHER THAN YOU FATHER"

grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin when you see skeleton dey talk you go piss for body grin grin grin as a kid then - you will freeze .. and the songs too

was not helping matters ..... grin grin grin grin

I remember Pot of Life. I think it was like a series.

Can you remember Abiku? That ogbanje girl... That was also very scary. Then there was Lynx or so, about one cat like that. And I remember one very horror movie, Evil Encounter or so... It used to scare the sh*t out of me. The bad guy wore dark shades. All these are from the 80s.
