Every culture since the beginning of time has horrific stories they tell their children. These stories are often intended to be cautionary tales, ways to keep children safe. Don't trust strangers, they may be fae and take you away. Don't get too close to the river, ghosts may pull you under. Don't wander in the woods, a witch may try to eat you.

One such story, common across Spanish and Portuguese speaking regions, is that of El Cucuy. This creature is known by many names. Whether you call it La Cuca, El Coco, or El Cucuy, the moral of the story is the same. You'd better behave or something terrible will happen.
