Jamie: Jake Barker

He is a teenage lad, studying Mathematics at BSF College and is often visited by El Cucuy, who is sometimes referred to as The Nightmare Man.

He’s quite a popular lad at college, with a large group of friends but can sometimes feel isolated from them. He’s very friendly and approachable and this is one of the many reasons he is liked by so many people at college, he’s also very fashionable and enjoys following the latest trends. His costume throughout remains the same as he is in an infinite dream state.

In his spare time he liked to watch horror movies as well as hanging out with mates whenever he can, seen as a very brave person there is one thing he can’t stand, one thing that petrifies him and that’s clowns. Jamie has nightmare almost every night, the nightmare seems to be the same reoccurring dream over and over of El Cucuy.

El Cucuy: Sam Whittaker 

El Cucuy is a mythical ghost-monster, equivalent to the bogeyman. This myth/urban legend is found in many Hispanic and Lusophone countries. This El Cucuy is different to the one in Mexican myth as he is a creature who kidnaps children who don’t behave themselves.

This El Cucuy takes on the appearance of your greatest fear and for Jamie that’s clowns. He appears well dressed in a suit and tie but with horrendous clown face painting, almost as if the face paint has run and began to wash away. He’s awful, playing off you greatest fears to torment you and feed on, described as pure evil, he will lock you in your nightmares forever with no chance of escape.
