Description

The Weird and the Terrifying. - Name: Matinta Pereira Location: Brazil Matinta Pereira is an old witch that lives in the northern region of Brazil. It is said that at night she turns into a Rasga-Mortalha (Barn Owl) and lands on roofs, where she'll start whistling loudly until someone comes to her. She'll then strike a bargain with the person and will stop the whistling in exchange for tabacco, coffee, alcohol or fish. Matinta will then fly away, and on the following night she'll return as an old lady, requesting what was promissed. If the person doesn't uphold their end of the bargain, Matinta Pereira will then curse the household with disease or even death. Matinta's curse of becoming an Owl can be passed on to others. It is said that when the old witch is close to death, she'll ask other women if "they wish to receive it", if the answer is "yes", the person will then carry on the curse, becoming Matinta Pereira. - All pieces in "The Weird and the Terrifying" collection are highly textured 3000x3000 png files created using only four colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black), with tonal variations and other colors coming from halftones and color overlay in order to maintain the stipulated color limtiations.
