Today's fast-paced world where information about
most things, including the secrets behind the
makings of a film, is readily available on the internet has
taken away some vintage sensations. And one of these is
the pleasure of getting terrified while watching a horror
movie.
Now, even kids know the secrets behind most horror flicks,
just like they know that Santa Claus who visits their school
is probably one of their teachers. Most horror flicks are now
emphasising stunts, hoping that will provide more attention
because even video games are now as gory as a horror film
can be.
However, it's a different tale entirely about two decades
down the line. In the late ‘80s, a drama series aired on the
Nigerian Television Authority that was capable of provoking
a ‘brown trouser' time for both children and adults alike. It
stood at par with Hollywood flicks including ‘Evil Dead' and
‘The Devil Dog' in its ability to make viewers shiver with
fear. It was the Hot Cash series.
The series chronicled the diabolic tale of an unfortunate
young man popularly called Willy Willy whose brother (was it
uncle?), out of desperation, sacrificed him in a money-
making ritual. The money came and all was going rosy for
the wicked brother (uncle?) until the wrath of Willy Willy
decided to return and haunt the entire village, starting off
with taking revenge first on his murderer.
The storyline, believed to be a common practice within many
communities, made the series appear so real that it left a
long-lasting fearful feel. Typical of most moral-teaching
films, the series was plotted such that the ghost of Willy
Willy only attacked people who had exhibited greed or had
bad intentions.
Although there was a form of comical appeal in some
episodes, the seriousness of the series always meant the
moral got more attention with the comical feats rarely
taking away the terror. The after-effect of watching also
provided parents with a virtual babysitter; kids had better
behave lest they summon the powder-faced man in a white
garment - Willy Willy.
