When I was a little boy, I watched the movie “It” and I was so traumatized by it that I had nightmares with the Pennywise clown. Even when I got to my adult age, I still lived with this fear. Then some friends recommended me to watch the new version to confront and overcome my trauma. But it only made it worse. Now I had nightmares with the both clowns. I thank Saint Benedict because, by entrusting myself to him, I finally can sleep in peace.

I dedicate this ex-voto to Saint Benedict thanking him because, despite watching so many horror movies, I never have nightmares. I’m a fan of horror movies, and, although they scare me a lot, I enjoy the tension and adrenaline this genre is causing me.

I dedicate this exvoto to Saint James the Apostle in honor of talented Nicholas Vince. He performed many memorable roles and played them well, even with a lot of makeup and costumes. He is truly a master of his craft.

I dedicate this retablo to Saint Nicholas of Bari for the talent that the actor Bruce Davidson has. When I was a child I saw the movie “Willard”. As a result, I have a deadly fear of rats. I hope Bruce doesn’t suffer from the same fear after having shot this horrifying but marvelous movie.

I dedicate this retablo to Saint Genesius thanking him for the enormous talent of the movie director Robert Rodriguez. Since my young years, I’ve been a fan of his movies. Among my favorites are “El Mariachi”, “Desperado”, “From Dusk till Dawn” and “Machete”. I wish him many years and success.

I dedicate this retablo to Saint Michael the Archangel for the incredible career of the legendary actor Andre Robinson. His capacity of playing all types of roles is incomparable. From subtle and intelligent characters to the most twisted villain you can imagine, mr. Robinson is always fascinating in his performance.

Samuel Lopez, Mexico

I dedicate this ex-voto to Saint Peter for the legendary carrier of the actor Richard Dreyfuss. It’s always a pleasure to see him act. He rules every scene with his presence. All those famous movies he acted in would never have had big success without him. I wish him many years more, health and success.

Luis Gomez, Mexico

I dedicate this retablo to Saint Charbel for the classic 1974 movie “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. When I saw it, I was impressed with the story and acting performance. It became one of my favorite horror movies.

Manuel Hernandez, Mexico

I’m a big fan of “Hellraiser” movies. But one night I was walking down an empty street, and Pinhead, one of the cenobites characters in the movies, appeared to me. I thank Saint Michael the Archangel because, although he tried to catch me, I managed to escape. I don’t know if it was a product of my imagination or real but this experience scared me a lot.

When I was a little boy my father showed me a Godzilla movie. I was fascinated by this gigantic monster and became a fan of this kind of movies. I promised myself to go to Japan one day. With this retablo, I thank Saint Charbel with all my heart because thanks to my savings I could realize my dream and to know the city that my favorite monster destroyed in his movies.

Mexico City

My favorite movie is “Clockwork Orange” by Stanley Kubrick. First of all because of the great performance of Malcolm McDowell. I thank Saint Martha with this ex-voto for mr. McDowell’s acting talent which serves as an excellent example for the young actors.
