In this spine-tingling episode of Lunatic Soup, we confront the terrifying legend of El Cucuy—the shadowy figure whispered about to keep children in line but feared by adults just the same. Known as the boogeyman of Latin American folklore, El Cucuy is said to lurk in the dark, hiding in closets, under beds, or just beyond the corner of your vision, waiting to snatch the disobedient. We’ll explore the origins of this creature, the cultural role it plays across generations, and the unsettling modern encounters that suggest El Cucuy may be more than just a bedtime story- he may just be your neighbor next door.
