If you fall into that third category, here are 10 Nollywood movies to keep you in a spooky mood. Boo!

1. (2007)

Running time: 1h 11m

Director: Ugo Ugbor 

Genre: Horror

For many young Nigerians, 666 (Beware The End Is At Hand) is a core memory. The film follows Pastor Lazarus as he battles Lucifer鈥檚 agents, who show up to wreak havoc after a woman becomes pregnant with the Antichrist. 

While the movie was clearly shot on a budget, it was scary as hell. It was the kind of film that made you check your forehead for the 鈥渕ark of the beast鈥� afterward.  

2.  (1990)

Running time: 1h 33m

Director: Alhaji Yekini Ajileye 

Genre: Horror

This Yoruba-language classic plays out like a fever dream of witches, blood rituals, and eerie chants, with those Nollywood sound effects that send shivers down your spine. The film follows the antics of a powerful witch, Abeni Agbon, who uses her powers for evil, notably to kill the twin children of a woman who refused to give her food at a party.

The famous witch dance scene, where they wear all black and dance to a creepy song, was the stuff of nightmares. The movie was so unsettling that when some cast members later died in real life, rumours spread that they had been haunted by the very spirits they portrayed. 

3. (2014)

Running time: 1h 35m

Director: C. J. 鈥楩iery鈥� Obasi 

Genre: Horror

The movie鈥檚 title makes you think it鈥檚 a regular Nollywood juju film, but it is far from it. It鈥檚 actually one of Nigeria鈥檚 first attempts at a Zombie flick. It follows Romero鈥攚ho was likely named after George Romero, American director and the father of the Zombie genre鈥� a mechanic whose slum community water becomes infected, turning people into violent, zombie-like creatures. 

Unlike older Nollywood horror films filled with blood rituals and witchcraft tales, Ojuju deals with a real and tangible social issue: pollution. It shows that horror doesn’t need demonic imagery to be terrifying. And that sometimes, the monster is the system itself.

4. (1994) 

Running time: 1h 33m

Director: Zeb Ejiro 

Genre: Horror

Nneka the Pretty Serpent follows the life of Nneka, a young woman possessed by a river goddess who grants her powers to seduce wealthy, sleazy men and claim their souls. The backstory is as chilling as the plot: Nneka鈥檚 mother, desperate for a child, turned to the river goddess for help, and ended up dedicating her daughter to a lifetime of dark servitude. 

The moral lesson was crystal clear (and terribly problematic but that鈥檚 a story for another day): that impossibly beautiful woman who appears out of nowhere is probably a witch. And if she takes an interest in you, run.

5. (1992)

Running time: 2h 43m

Director: Chris Obi Rapu 

Genre: Horror, Drama 

Kenneth Okonkwo makes his breakout into the spotlight with this spooky cult movie. Pressured to keep up with his wealthy peers, Andy joins a cult that demands the life of the person he loves the most in return for immense wealth. He murders Merit and gets more money than he knows what to do with but can鈥檛 enjoy it because of Merit鈥檚 vengeful spirit tormenting him.

The movie is a perfect exploration of the consequences of guilt and messing with the spiritual. It is a salient reminder that shortcuts to wealth always come with a price. 

6. (1997)

Running time: 1h 31m

Director: Chico Ejiro 

Genre: Thiller, Drama 

In his movie, Mike (Zack Orji) reconnects with his old schoolmate Collins (Kanayo O Kanayo), now a millionaire thanks to the black-market organ trade. Collins lures him into joining a cult known as The Vultures, led by the Great Vulture, a supernatural entity who promises instant wealth in exchange for loyalty and blood. 

When the cult demands a blood sacrifice from Mike, he offers up his wife and mother, triggering a dark arc. He starts being haunted by his mother鈥檚 spirit, and to stop it, has to deliver seven severed heads to the Great Vulture.

7. (1992)

Running time: 2h 52m 

Director: Mike Bamiloye 

Genre: Thiller, Drama 

Agbara Nla paved the way for the current wave of Christian drama movies. It is also popular for introducing Nigeria to one of its scariest words: 鈥淎yamatanga.鈥�  It鈥檚 set in a small village oppressed by Isawuru, a dreaded herbalist powered by the Aro Meta witches. Isawuru does whatever he wants in the village until a young missionary couple shows up to oppose him with the power of Christ.

What terrified audiences most were the depictions of spiritual warfare, especially the scene where a demon-possessed character roared what everyone thought was 鈥�Ayamatanga!鈥� but was actually  鈥淚 am at anger!鈥� 

8. (1998)

Running time: 1h 26m

Director: Christian Onu 

Genre: Horror 

Few Nollywood films have etched themselves into the Nigerian pop culture zeitgeist like Karishika. In this movie, Lucifer, in a bid to gather more followers, sends Karishika to Earth with one mission鈥攖empt and drag as many souls as possible into hell.

Armed with beauty and questionable seduction skills, she damns the souls of many in her path, sometimes by seducing, or outright killing them. 

9.  (1998)

Running time: 1h 40m

Director: Christian Onu 

Genre: Fantasy Horror

Directed by Zeb Ejiro, the film follows Frank Davies, a desperate man introduced by his friend Patrick to Sakobi, a mysterious woman tied to the cult of Kongodis and devoted to the Mighty Serpent goddess. For wealth and power, Frank is instructed to sacrifice his only daughter, Hope, and abandon his family to marry Sakobi.

If Nneka the Pretty Serpent birthed the archetype of the femme fatale witch, Sakobi: The Snake Girl perfected it. 

10. (2000) 

Running time: 1h 43m

Director: Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen

Genre: Horror

The Last Burial blurs the lines between fiction and reality, drawing from the story of Ogbuefi Nnamani, whose mysterious death unsettled his community. It tells of a man in financial ruin who joins an occult group that demands human sacrifices in exchange for wealth. 

He enjoys prosperity for years until the cult returns to demand the ultimate price for his riches 鈥� his life. Shortly after his death, his wife discovers his dark secret and learns that the cult wants his corpse for their rituals. What follows is a tense struggle between those seeking to claim his body and those trying to give him a proper burial.

Convinced?

Here鈥檚 how to do this right:

Dress up

This goes without saying, but what鈥檚 Halloween or a special trip to visit an dead old relative without a special costume? The scarier or more 鈥渄ead inside鈥� looking the better. This is your best opportunity to confuse your village people a little.

Visit on a special day

What day is more special to visit a burial ground than a day set aside to remember the dead? Public cemeteries like , are open every day, so there are no restrictions on when you can visit. Just make sure to visit during the day and with people.

Talk to the dead

Talking to a physical symbol of your dead鈥檚 existence can reduce the feeling of separation. At the gravesite, tell them how much you miss them, share what鈥檚 happening in your daily life, reflect on the past and talk about your future plans. It may be difficult at first, but it can become happy and reflective over time.

Clean up the grave

If cleaning helps you to de-stress, you can clear the overgrown weeds or sweep leaves and garbage away from your loved ones鈥� graves. If the grave marker is dirty or has lost its shine over the years, clean it with water, a mild detergent and a soft, lint-free cloth. 

Or decorate

But if gardening is what helps you de-stress, then go a step further by planting their favourite or a symbolic flower around the site. Or just leave a floral arrangement or wreath on the ledge stone. 

Take a walk/tour

Did you know a section of Atan Cemetery is reserved for the British Government and maintained by the Commonwealth Office for Nigerian soldiers who died in service of the British Crown? Or that some of Lagos鈥� biggest historical figures are buried close to the entrance of Ikoyi Cemetery? Not every time Google. This Halloween, take a tour of your local cemetery for some real genealogical research.

Take photos

Cemetery photography is a thing. The combination of headstones, monuments, grave decorations and the cemetery grounds can be aesthetically pleasing, particularly in the older, more private sections of our cemeteries. 

Some consider it an invasion of privacy to take photos of headstones not associated with you. But if they allow it, observe the following etiquette: hide the names and details inscribed on the headstones when uploading to the internet, and don鈥檛 take photos of funeral services, mourners and other visitors.

Pay respect to fallen heroes

Atan Cemetery also holds the most World War II graves in Nigeria 鈥� 411 graves. The fenced and barricaded site is a notable landmark in Yaba that most people don鈥檛 know about. Pay your respects at the grave sites of fallen soldiers, and leave a coin 鈥� a military tradition 鈥� as a sign to the family members that their loved one isn鈥檛 forgotten.

Tip the caretakers

Like most low-ranked Nigerian government workers, cemetery caretakers earn minimum wage. They鈥檙e also often harassed and overshadowed by street thugs. Remember, you鈥檒l be gone for another year or so. Having someone who鈥檒l look after your dead while you鈥檙e away is not a bad idea.

Make it a tradition

The perfect way to keep your dead loved ones fresh in your memory is to visit their grave site every Halloween. This way, you can make sure someone doesn鈥檛 just and sell the site to another person after some years.

NOW, THIS: Love Life: We Bonded Over the Death of Our First Spouses

Whether you survived the haunted house or not get your and make your way to the meatiest festival on this side of the map.

Check for your style below.

Agemo (Jagun Jagun)

Agemo is easily one of the most popular film characters we’ve seen in Nollywood this year. Agemo can appear and disappear. Although she’s a scary killing machine, Agemo is almost as fast as Flash. She moves swiftly in her local floating adire and ofi with a mask that has lasers as eyes. 

Asabi (Ijakumo)

This film received different reactions, but one can argue that its protagonist, Asabi, was a unique character. Her outfit choice is why she’s also the most outstanding character in the film. Asabi wore only black gowns and carried a dread longer than the 3MB. 

To be honest, wearing this as your Halloween costume will likely slow down your movement due to the long dread that’ll drag after you, but maybe you’re built differently. Who knows?

Ogundiji (Jagun Jagun)

Say what you want about Ogundiji, but that man had the flyest fits; from his war apparels, the plain fur coats and caps to the bead accessories 鈥� no warlord or jazz man has this man’s steeze.

Kareem (Gangs of Lagos)

Get your danshiki dress, dark shades, panama hat, one gold chain and two gold rings and you’re set. Thing is, not everyone will pull off Kazeem’s look without breaking a sweat, especially聽when you factor in his scary aura and personality. But it’d be dope if his character was recreated for Halloween.

Okalandu (NKEMAKONAM)

It’s very likely people will run away or avoid you if you鈥檙e in the Nkemakonam deity costume. For starters, it looks like a masquerade regalia. Consider this costume as repping your long-gone ancestors.

Monsters (Ile Owo)

If this is your Halloween costume, know that you’re going out as something closer to the devil and other monstrous creatures with horns. Don’t forget that an underwear is the only piece of clothing this one has, and crawling is also part of the personality.

Girl gang (Chronicles)

This is easy to recreate. Sew a big choir robe, buy a ski mask, and a toy gun. Your “holy armed robber” brand is set.

The people of Iyi (Mami Wata)

Getting your face painted in white and making hairstyles that look like satellites or any object of your choice may make you look like a stranger in a foreign land. But at least, you鈥檒l look more African than others. Can’t hate this.

Yejide and Awele (Battle on Buka Street)

This is an extra for you. You can run with any of the two rival characters here. Or better still, hold your best friend and act like competitors throughout your Halloween party. But make sure to carry your big pot, a bag of yam flour, a turning rod and other identifiers of a Buka boss madam.

You made it here, my friend, Now can you get your Burning Ram Meat Festival ? November 11th is closer than you think o.

That’s why I have this list of scary Nigerian movies to watch here while they trick-and-treat abroad. Are you sat? Let’s dig.

Koto Aiye (1989)

This movie by late film producer Yekini Ajileye was released in 1989, and it’s hands down one of the scariest occult titles in Nigeria. Evil witches terrorised a village so much that there was little the good witches could do.

When a prophecy came about a saviour coming in the form of a baby, the evil witches 鈥� including the king’s first wife鈥� devised plans to scatter everything. Even the king, Oba Adedapo, wasn’t spared 鈥� man carried a protruding stomach for a long time because the witches housed their birds inside him. Mad.

The movie is in two parts. You have a long, thrilling night ahead of you.

Ologbo Iya Agba

This title in English translates to “grandma’s cat.” This film was once the hottest thing on the street, and it was hard to find a copy at film rentals because people had rented it out. I remember how we all became scared of older women who kept cats as pets.

You should see this.

Nneka the Pretty Serpent (1994)

This film came out when VHS was still the reigning champ. Although the title called Nneka a serpent, she could also turn into a cat. Nneka is a spirit-possessed lady who goes around town tormenting promiscuous married men and their families鈥� total menace; even prayers hardly worked against her.

I recommend that the relationship people watch this with their partner to subtly let them know the consequences of cheating on the loves of their lives.

Living in Bondage (1992)

Before you press play on this film, its title makes you whisper that bondage isn’t your portion. Living In Bondage, the OG version, follows the story of a money-ritual cult that demands the loved ones of its members as sacrifices to keep their wealth flowing. Andy, the main character, was even told to blind and castrate himself to appease his wife’s ghost that’s haunting him up and down.

Did this man receive help or partially kill himself to escape his ghost-wife? Find out in this and part 2. 

Hex (2015)

This Clarence Peters’ film, divided into four episodes, follows the story of five young Nigerians who accidentally hit a drunken man on the road, finished him off with a car jack and dumped him in the lagoon.

None of these guys had rest of mind since the incident, but that was nothing compared to the fright their victim鈥檚 ghost gave them before finally killing them gruesomely. Play Hex and watch it pull your wig back, leaving you on the edge of your seat.

Eran Iya Oshogbo (1999)

I don’t know why Nollywood makes humans possess animals and vice versa in its horror flicks. Still, this movie, Eran Iya Osogbo (the goat of the woman from Osogbo), isn’t an exception. In it, you’ll see how a woman loved her goat more than her neighbours and everyone else.

This goat of hers was a riot in the whole town. It was so powerful you could take a bite of your shawarma, and it’d land in the goat’s mouth. Eran Iya Oshogbo is also in two parts and will leave your mouth wide open after you’ve exclaimed “omo” like 100 times.

Karishika (1996)

Before I heard that people could turn into an orange or a Health 5 football, I saw a woman give birth to a yam tuber in Karishika. Straight out of the household of Lucifer, Karishika and her demonic colleagues went on a rampage to cause people to sin and lead them to the kingdom of hell. This film has the right amount of Nigerian spookiness.

Karishika was so powerful that Falz made a song and remix, begging God to protect him from her.

After Halloween, come hang out at the biggest meat and grill festival in Lagos on November 11th. Cop your asap.

With Halloween parties, haunted houses and dressing up quickly becoming a thing in Nigeria, I鈥檝e ranked 13 (inspired by the iconic, Friday, The 13th film series) memorable and not so memorable celebrity Halloween costumes. Hopefully you can find some inspiration (or not) for next year.聽

13. Wizkid 

We all know Wizkid doesn鈥檛 like stress, but please, what is this look? It feels like he was going for a cross between from Texas Chainsaw Massacre and from Halloween, but the mask just ends up looking like a primary school fine arts project with small finesse. 

Level of Creativity: LOL

12. Pretty Boy D.O 

The Ruger vs. BNXN beef has been one of the funniest things to happen this year, and while PrettyBoy DO is funny in this video, all he has is an eyepatch trying to look like Ruger and it鈥檚 not giving at all. At least Blaqbonez dyed his hair. 

Level of creativity: 0.5

11. Ebuka 

I get that the look is inspired by Money Heist, but it鈥檚 so boring I can鈥檛 deal. Ebuka always kills it when it comes to looks, so disappointment doesn鈥檛 even cover how I feel right now looking at his La Casa De Papel: Lekki Branch costume. 

Level of Creativity: 2

10. Mercy Eke 

Girl, this is just a jumpsuit and a nice darling yaki weave. I get she鈥檚 trying to channel the late (not to be confused with Selena Gomez, please and thank you), but it just feels very low effort and I know my girl is capable of more. The pictures slap, though. 

Level of creativity: 2

9. Ms DSF 

This French costume is super sexy on DSF, but I feel like somewhere along the line, we鈥檝e forgotten that Halloween costumes are meant to be either scary or based on iconic people. It could be scary sexy or iconic sexy, but just sexy-sexy is a miss. Love the face beat, though. 

Level of creativity: 3

8. Yemi Alade 

Ms Alade, I love you, but is this Storm from X-Men or Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. You have to pick one because both of them are not the same person. E for effort sha.

Level of creativity: 5

7. Kaylah Oniwo 

Come through Disney Villain!! While Kaylah Oniwo鈥檚 Cruella De Vil look comes off as a modern adaptation of the classic character from 101 Dalmations, she still gives off that old school vibe with the cigarette holder and thin eyebrows. By the way, can we get into the wig? The wig is wigging, dears. 

Level of creativity: 7

6. Toke Makinwa

Now, this is how you pull off a sexy Halloween look. The dress is making a statement, but it鈥檚 not taking anything away from her horns, which reminds us that she鈥檚 Maleficent from Ikoyi. The make-up also goes hard. TM for the win. 

Level of creativity: 7

5. Stephanie Coker 

I鈥檓 sorry, but that big doll from Squid Game still haunts me till this day. Big shoutout to Stephanie Coker for pulling this look off, down to the photoshopped red eyes. Something about dolls and children in horror films makes me very uncomfortable, so having her daughter in this picture takes the creepiness to another level.

Level of creativity: 8 

4. Oddity 

You don鈥檛 have to be an anime lover to recognise Naruto from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Working in her signature bald look into her costume, Oddity鈥檚 Halloween look is iconic. Quick question from a non-anime-watching Nigerian: Abeg, where is this arrow pointing to? 

Level of creativity: 9

3. Falz 

Anyone who nails the Joker鈥檚 terrifying smile is a rockstar in my book and Falz does it well. 

Level of creativity: 9.5

2. Elozonam 

I don鈥檛 know who Elozonam is channelling; all I know is that he needs to keep this scary shit away from me. The burn looks so real, I鈥檓 actually in serious distress just looking at it. 

Level of creativity: 10

1. Toyin 鈥淭iannah Styling鈥� Lawani

No one can take the best halloween costume crown away from Toyin 鈥淭iannah Styling鈥� Lawani. This woman dresses everyday like it鈥檚 Halloween, so I expected nothing less on the real day. 

Level of creativity: 10000. Look at the receipts!

In your best Buhari costume, you get there, and the first person you meet at the door is this woman: 

You assume she’s an usher but just as you’re about to pass, she says, “Can’t you greet? Or do I look like your mate? Oloshi oloriburuku! Disrespectful child”.

You quickly utter a “Sorry ma. Good morning ma”, and walk inside. The haunted house tour hasn’t even started, and you’re already afraid. 

You walk further in and enter a shrine, where a babalawo is making incantations to wooden statues on the ground. He gestures for you to come.聽

You look back as if he’s not talking to you.

Babalawo: Come, my son, let me show you your future.

In your mind, you’re like, “Ehn. Which future? God abeg o, abeg”. But it’s all part of the haunted house act (obviously, it can’t be a real babalawo now), so you enter the shrine. He points to a small brown stool for you to sit on.  

Once you sit, he brings a live chicken and moves it around your head while reciting incantations. You fret but remind yourself that this is just an act. You don’t expect anything to happen until you see the mirror beside you start to blink. A video appears in it, of you ten years into the future. You realise you’re about to see what lies ahead for you and begin to shout, “Blood of Jesus! What is this?” You stand and run out before the video shows whether you’ll make it in life or not. 

You run into a dim hallway, looking for the exit to this hell hole. What were you even thinking, coming here? In a room to your left, you see Patience Ozokwor about to swear for a family member she doesn鈥檛 like.

You take a few steps to your left, and almost stumble into sacrificing his grandfather for a few billions.

Before he notices you and decides to offer you instead, you tiptoe away from there as fast and quiet as possible. “How the hell do I get out of this place?” is all you’re thinking about.聽聽聽

A Nigerian aunty with white powder on all over her face (because that’s how Nigerian ghosts look) pops out from the corner. She says, “Daniel, when will you marry? Look at your age mates, where is your own?!” How does she know your name?聽

“Ah. I’ve entered it today! Who sent me message?” You do the sign of the cross and utter a small prayer as you move further into this Nollywood horror movie you’ve entered. Before you even take five steps, a middle-aged Nigerian uncle in white trad and a cap pops out from another corner. He stretches his hand to you and says, “Daniel, send me your CV. Let me see what I can do.”聽

The haunted house is going above and beyond to traumatise you, and you’re not even sure what to expect anymore.聽聽

The next rooms waiting for you:

In one room, your boss is seated, ready to discuss extra work hours for the same pay.

In another, your landlord asks you for his service charge.

In the third one, there鈥檚 a visa office where the officer denies your Canadian visa request.

This is you after passing these rooms:聽

Then for several minutes, nothing happens; no scary rooms or people popping out of nowhere. As you move further, you see a bright light ahead. Yes, you’ve gotten to the exit.聽

You walk faster just in case these people’s brains decide to touch, and they choose to lock you in here forever. As you get there, you realise you’ve just entered the worst place a Nigerian could ever find themself. A place of stress, tears and suffering.聽聽

Of all the scary places this damn haunted house could choose from, they chose鈥� Lagos traffic!

With the naira in the poteaux-poteaux and election season approaching, I鈥檝e decided to consult the oracle (Old Nollywood) for some tips on how to stay safe and keep your head on your neck. 

Don鈥檛 marry or date broke men

Professor Olamide wasn鈥檛 playing when he said, 鈥淢a lo fe broke nigga. Fight for your life.鈥� Half of the wives who鈥檝e been used for rituals in films like and the original Living in Bondage married broke men with 鈥減otential鈥�. Nigeria is hard enough. Don鈥檛 allow love and small romance cost you your life. Avoid broke men today. 

Don鈥檛 marry a rich guy who鈥檚 into 鈥渂usiness鈥� 

What happened to marrying a doctor, lawyer, SoundCloud rapper or tech bro? According to Nollywood, once a man is into 鈥渂usiness鈥� without any direct explanation of what the business is, there鈥檚 a high chance he鈥檚 into rituals. Avoid men like this with all your power and might before they pound you and your baby like fresh yam. 

Don鈥檛 follow your dad out at night 

If only the little girl in Living in Bondage: Breaking Free had said no when her dad took her for a drive at night, who knows, she might be alive today. So the next time your dad asks you to escort him somewhere past 7 p.m., kindly tell him only wayward people go out at night and you鈥檙e not wayward. What鈥檚 the worst thing that can happen? Small disowning? 

Don鈥檛 go for parties with campus big girls 

Remember when Funke Akindele鈥檚 character, Suliat, in Jenifa followed the big girls on campus for an all-night party, and they almost used her head as asun for evil spirits? Now that ASUU has called off strike in time for spooky season, I鈥檒l advise that you stay in your hostel and focus on your education. Even if you want to go to a party, go to one with dead babes and boring guys. 

Don鈥檛 sleep at night

To safeguard your life, I鈥檇 advise you stay awake all night so when the nonsense special effects juju appears in your room you can give it a dirty slap. It鈥檚 only people who sleep that witches kidnap in the middle of the night. Gbera!

Become a prayer warrior 

Nollywood has shown us there鈥檚 nothing a little casting and binding can鈥檛 solve. So to keep your head, you need to have it anointed. Join a bible believing church today, or better still, just become a pastor. Amen? 

Don鈥檛 eat food outside 

Just in case you have a coconut head and completely ignored all your mum has taught you since birth, if you didn鈥檛 cook the food with your two hands, don鈥檛 eat it. The streets are dangerous now, and nobody can be trusted. Don鈥檛 allow ojukokoro be the cause of your downfall. 

Become a babalawo 

No one can use you for rituals when you鈥檙e the person wearing the feathers and red wrapper. It鈥檚 common sense. 

Don鈥檛 leave your house, period!

If you sit in your house and mind your business, tell me how someone will think to use you for rituals. It鈥檚 who they see outside that鈥檒l end up in calabashes. So stay in one place this spooky season before you 鈥渨e outside鈥� yourself into a babalawo鈥檚 shrine.
