Some creatures from far away visited us, and also another snake being saved us.

Many thanks, Holy Virgin Mary, fro your protection against this beast. Thanks to my knife it wouldn’t approach me. Thanks, thank you, Holy Virgin Mary.

Animals with human faces passed through the village. Thanks for nothing bad happened.

We ask the Holy Heart to look after us because we live in a very strange town.

When I was a teenager, I was often harassed by a monster in my dreams. One night, after entrusting myself to the Archangel Michael, I cut the monster’s head, and I’ve never seen the monster again after that dream.

Summer 1974, I was on vacation in Tokyo when something extraordinary happened. The night of July 26, an enormous monster attacked the city. A giant reptile of huge size was destroying everything on its way sowing death and terror. Seeing this, I could only ask the Virgin of Guadalupe for intervention, and some time later Godzilla got lost in the sea.

The Carrion sisters were passing by the market when suddenly they an enormous creature appeared to them. It seems like it came from the inferno, with a red hair, big claws and teeth, enormous blue eyes filled with evil and fury. When we started to ran away and scream we implored the Brown-skin girl of Tepeyac to protect us and let us come out alive from this misfortune. That moment the beast stopped chasing us, we ran to the church doors and took shelter there. They say they call this demon chupacabra in the region.

San Ignacio de los Valles, 1990

We found a headless dove without blood on the set. It wasn’t a witchcraft but an extraterrestrial Peruvian chupacabra that drowned in the lake afterwards. I dedicate this retablo to Saint Genesius for saving our play.

I dedicate the present exvoto to Saint John Bosco in gratitude for the talent of all those responsible for the creation of the classical Hollywood monster movies. When I was little I used to watch these great films and I became a fan. Even today I still enjoy watching them on DVD.
