Struktura kolumbijské hororové legendy

Abstract

Part of the Colombian folklore is the stories of Espantos. They are supernatural beings that teach, punish or reward people's behavior. They are characters that exist to maintain social ideals like celibacy until marriage, religious devotion, maternal responsibility, etc. This work aims to understand the context in which these stories were created (the Colombian folklore), to research various books, articles, and digital resources about the Colombian Espantos. Based on that research, identify and formulate the characteristics that these types of stories have. The goal is to use that knowledge to develop an animated series based on these folk characters.
