“Los Espookys” is not an easy show to explain quickly, but the creators have it down to an art.
“The term we’ve been using a lot is a reverse ‘Scooby-Doo,'” co-creator and star Julio Torres said to IndieWire. “We don’t solve the mystery, we create it.”
The new HBO comedy is as creative in its storytelling as it is in building that story with props, practical effects, and its stellar overall production design. Torres stars alongside fellow co-creators Ana Fabrega and Fred Armisen, with the former two playing friends who turn their love of horror into a peculiar business. Alongside Renaldo (Bernardo Velasco) and Ursula (Cassandra Ciangherotti), Andrés (Torres) and Tati (Fabrega) form a traveling band of crafty scarers, eventually creating sea monsters that double as tourist attractions, but first throwing a themed bat mitzvah for a family friend.

In the second episode of HBO’s “Los Espookys,” Renaldo’s (Bernardo Velasco) frustrated sister Beatriz (Giannina Fruttero) Googles the “easiest way to make money from my Latin home” because she’s sick of being dependent of her mother. Beatriz quickly lands on the site of Hierbalite — a spoof of the real-life nutrition company Herbalife — a business co-creator Ana Fabrega tells TheWrap she knows all too well.
“I didn’t know anything about the company until my mom started to do it,” Fabrega said. Herbalife relies upon “distributors” like Fabrega’s mother to buy their products at a discount and then sell them to others at retail price for a profit.

In the season premiere of the HBO comedy “Los Espookys,” the host of a Latin America news show tells her viewers that there’s been an angel calling a restaurant over and over — and, gasp, not picking up their order. “Los Espookys” co-creator Julio Torres told TheWrap that the host, even though overtly sensational, is actually based on a little kernel of truth.
“My relationship with Latin American television was catching glimpses of the news and morning shows,” Torres said. “Stories of chupacabras and [singer] Gloria Trevi scandals I feel like were monopolized on those shows.”
Torres grew up in El Salvador before moving to the United States 10 years ago, and is now a writer on “Saturday Night Live.” Growing up, he said that the local news, at times, would veer into stories of the paranormal and celebrity scandals. This concept would be the inspiration for Gregoria Santos #8, the eighth victim...

Featuring new voices with a weird and unique point of view, Los Espookys is a surprising and welcome entry to the HBO lineup.
Los Espookys is going to stick out in HBO’s lineup like gratuitous gore in a B-movie. For one it’s grabbing headlines as HBO’s first crack at (mostly) Spanish language programming with English subtitles. Language shouldn't be much of a barrier, though. The late-night comedy is a loving homage to horror and the paranormal viewed through the lens of its creators: Julio Torres and Ana Farega, two comedians with blindingly bright futures, and Fred Armisen, who continues to attach him name to inventive alternative comedy projects (the brilliant Documentary Now! and recently concluded Portlandia among them).
The series is set in Latin America, where a group of friends with a passion for horror turn their love of the genre into a business.

Some of the best TV shows are the ones that are just about impossible to describe. Shows that are wild and weird, pushing the confines of what TV has been and “should” be, TV that proudly plants its freak flag in your face and dares you to question it. For all that — plus the important fact that it’s very, very funny — “Los Espookys” had my full attention from the jump.
The new comedy follows a group of horror enthusiasts who turn their passion into a collaborative profession, taking commissions for spooky events like faking a sea monster sighting or enacting a “basic inheritance scare”. Goth obsessive Renaldo (Bernardo Velasco) leads the charge with his pure devotion to all things creepy; ethereal chocolate fortune heir Andrés (co-creator Julio Torres) dreams big and talks bigger; frank dental assistant Úrsula (Cassandra Ciangherotti) provides the reality checks neither of them will.

Renaldo (Bernardo Velasco), the hero of HBO’s new comedy Los Espookys, is a study in contradictions. He dresses in Goth fashions and is obsessed with horror movies, but his most natural expression is a broad and welcoming smile. He starts up a business with best friends Úrsula (Cassandra Ciangherotti) and Andrés (Julio Torres) to provide creature effects for specific situations — a struggling beach town in need of a sea monster to attract tourists, an aging priest hoping to stage an exorcism to upstage his dashing young colleague — but the...

What starts as a comedy about faking spooky encounters quickly transforms into a spooky encounter all its own in HBO’s new Spanish-language entry, “Los Espookys.” Created by Fred Armisen, Ana Fabrega, and Julio Torres, the half-hour original series follows a group of friends whose shared enthusiasm for horror leads them into the business of scares. That could mean convincing people a mansion is haunted or helping a priest perform a fake exorcism to show off, but it’s the details surrounding each character, their setting, and this strange story that sets “Los Espookys” apart — as well as an apropos indulgence of spine-tingling fantasy within the show’s intriguing alternate reality.
