Casino del Diablo


Inspired in a local legend from Hermosillo, Sonora. Mexico.
The story goes something like this: There is a New Year's party at a famous local club. There is this girl who really wants to go to this event, but her mom asks her to stay because she's not feeling very well. The girl, disobeying her mom, escapes and goes to the party. When she arrives at the place everyone's dancing and having a good time. She notices a very handsome man staring at her and eventually he asks her to dance. They dance for a while and people around start noticing a very strong smell, like rotten eggs people say (Sulfur). Then, the handsome guy starts transforming very dramatically into a demon-like beast (The Devil). The entire place bursts into flames and everyone runs away. The girl allegedly disappeared or went insane.

My version of the story: The Devil just wanted to have some fun but people overreacted as usual.
