The Cucuy (Exhibit #1)Anthony Martinez (2017), This is
just a sketch of what the artists interprets as the Cucuy. The Cucuy is a usually told as a child eater and will come when you misbehave in the shadows and at night to come and eat you. I thought this was interesting because most people depict the Cucuy as a shadowy figure with not much of a face or body, but here it’s a full on creature!

The Cucuy (Exhibit #2)Javier Hernandez (2013), Again the
Cucuy usually doesn’t have a full on face or figure, yet here it’s depicted as this colorful monster having some interesting dinner and as a comic!

La Mano Pachona (Exhibit #5)Francisco Delgado (2020),
Lithograph. Said to have belonged to a man who was killed and chopped up during the inquisition in Mexico. His hand was the only thing that came back to life and lurks under the beds of misbehaved children and grabs their ankles and drags them to who know where.

El Chupacabra (Exhibit #5)Gerald Lopez (Unknown Date), The
Chupacabra is a tale about this creature who attacks and sucks the blood of livestock. Some, like this artist, think it’s a half-man creature, others think its dog-like as it is more commonly thought as
