    There is a historical epic called The Woman King starring John Boyega and Viola Davis, hopefully they won’t forced that Lgbtq nonsense in this epic film, after the success of this movie we will probably watch a Amanirenas movie and her battles against the Roman’s in the 1st century BC or general Taharqa who later became King of the 25th Dynasty battling the Assyrians in 701 BC and defended Jerusalem during the reign of King Hezekiah of Judah and the Prophet Isaiah, his battles are mentioned in the Hebrew Bible! (2 Kings 19:9, Isaiah 37:9).

    Dont do any serious videos, because ever since you took a hard stand against freedom, you’ve got the eyes of people who use logic and think for themselves watching you in order to call you out

    American government is a black Americans horror Nightmare.
    2022 is the 90th anniversary of the biological warfare program the Tuskegee experiment put on black Americans. It went on for 40 years. Anything they try to make as a black horror film is to distract away from Black American true reality living in torturous (prison industrial complex) horror. War on poverty, War on Drugs, counterintelligence program, stop-and-frisk no-knock warrants. What horror movie are you talkin about that black Americans livering reality doesn’t already present.

    Don’t make any serious videos because, since you took a strong stance against freedom, you’ve attracted the attention of people who use logic and reason to call you out.

    Did you know that Candyman and Pinhead from Hellraiser are created by the same person, Clive Barker. Talk about creating horror icons.

    I’m as much of a wimp about horror as Roy but I love these discussions.
