El
Doctor Malo
There is a small town in a valley not too far from here, where their
main industry is luring unsuspecting people to their clandestine
clinics looking for cheap cosmetic surgery . With promises of cut-rate
prices and deluxe-stay spas, people from DF to Paris flock to be
fleeced by the dark tribe of El Doctor Malo, a barber- surgeon
from one of the first Spanish expeditions who botched an operation
while healing a local Huichol chieftain and earned a curse which
bound his soul to their cañada until he forsook his art.
Although he plans to do no such thing. Instead, the power he has
gained with his twisted dark soul drove him to perform bizarre operations
that leave his patients so disfigured they refuse to face society
ever again. And yet another soul is added to his forbidden tribe.
So the next time you think you can just take a ‘long vacation’
and simply reappear in your city as if that nose had been yours
all along, make sure you do not fall under the knife of El Doctor
Malo.
El Jefe
Do not go to the old mill at night because you will not be missed,
even though you will disappear. In fact, the fate El Jefe has in
store for you will only last till sunrise, in our time. For El Jefe
has a great power that most bosses only dream of, for he can teleport
you and put you to work for 300 years in his mill, which he keeps
hidden in a crypt outside the veil of time. And you don’t
even get paid overtime.
The perfect workday in most businessmen’s minds, only a few
hours in Earth time will you toil, yet you will accomplish 8 generations
worth of work in his underworld. This also translates to no coffee
breaks or dental plan. And the worst part of is that at the end
of the day, he doesn’t even spring for tacos.
 Padre
of the spinsters
Woe be the drunkard who gets a ride back to his house from el Padre
of the Spinsters. El Padre was a hard working patrón, who
not only built houses for all those in town, but also a home for
his five daughters. When he died, all his daughters, most in their
30s, were still waiting for their prince charmings to come and whisk
them away in true storybook fashion. But now they all sit old, decrepit
and alone, that is, until the padre enchants you to join him on
your wild ride ‘home’. You will only see the daughters
as they see themselves, perfect princesses of your dreams. But the
enchantment breaks at dawn when the padre must return to the pantheon,
and you roll over to see someone older than your grandmother cuddled
in your arms.
The mechanic
There is a speed bump on a completely deserted part of highway in
central Mexico. And next to it is of course a mechanic’s shop.
But this workshop was built by a chan, and not a very happy one.
See, this highway destroyed his privacy, and now he takes his revenge
out on its unsuspecting commuters. After the inevitable damage is
done to you car by his irregular self-made topé, you will
have to pull over and have him fix it. Though he will appear to
do a top-notch job, he will sabotage one vital sweet spot. It will
likely be your brakes. But you will not know that until the hairpin
turn above the mountain pass not more than five miles down the road.
