Miguel "Miguelito" Vázquez Bernal (February 11, 1940 – December 8, 1996), was a Mexican luchador or professional wrestler known under the ring name Espanto III ("Terror 3"). During his career in lucha libre he formed a long running, successful trio known as Los Espantos ("The Terrors") with his brother José Eusebio Vázquez Bernal (known as Espanto I) and Fernando Cisneros Carrillo (Espanto II).
Los Espantos was one of the first examples of an identical trio, where all three members of the team used the same name, mask and wrestling gear only distinguished by a number. After his retirement he trained his sons for a professional wrestling career, and the later followed in his footsteps as Espanto IV and Espanto V.
