El exorcismo (The Exorcism)

HBO

Los Espookys

Season 1 - Episode 1

Having successfully delivered an elaborate horror motif to his sister’s 15th birthday party, laid-back Renaldo (Bernardo Velasco) enlists his three best friends – Andrés (Julio Torres), Úrsula (Cassandra Ciangherotti) and Tati (Ana Fabrega) – to create a business based on conjuring thrills and chills for a variety of clients. After a meeting with Father Francesco (Luis Gnecco), the group agrees to orchestrate a staged exorcism that will elevate Francesco above the hot new priest who’s usurped the spotlight. To ensure maximum promotion, the team enlists the help of Renaldo’s uncle, Tico (Fred Armisen), a legendary LA parking valet. Basking in the media afterglow, the group entertains a new offer and decides on a name for their enterprise: Los Espookys.

Written by Fred Armisen & Ana Fabrega & Julio Torres; directed by Fernando Frias.
