I really dug the ‘La Llorona’ designs for last year’s maze, “La Llorona: Villa De Almas Perdidas”, at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights. So much so that I kind of regret that it was the one maze I didn’t have time to see, but I’m going to make a point of seeing everything this year – which means I’ll most certainly be checking out the follow-up maze ‘La Llorona: Cazadora de Niños’ or ‘Weeping Woman: The Child Hunter’.

‘La Llorona: Cazadora de Niños’ will feature immersive environments depicting scenes and imagery of a rural Mexican village. This year’s maze will tell the haunting story of ‘La Llorona,’ a beautiful girl named Maria from a poor village who desperately sought to win the affection of a rich nobleman. Rejected and grief stricken, she drowns her children in a river. Overcome with anguish, she drowns herself in a bitter end. According to legend, Maria’s tormented and distressed spirit wanders the earth, eternally piercing the night with mournful cries, “My children! Where are my children?” ― giving rise to her name, ‘La Llorona’ or ‘The Weeping Woman.’

Head inside for the full rundown. This year’s Halloween Horror Nights dates are September 21, 22, 28, 29 and October 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 31. READ MORE

Soon to be married to the man she loves, Margarita’s (Luz Mara Aguilar) happiness is almost complete. Still, she cannot understand why her uncle, Don Gerardo (Carlos Lopez Moctezuma), remains adamant in his objection to the union. Going ahead with her plan nonetheless, Margarita soon bears a child, Jorgito, who comes to absorb all her time and attention. But when Gerardo tells a family member in confidence about the curse upon their kin, reputedly passed down from the Weeping Woman who years past was compelled to kill her own children, the secret is soon spilled to Jorgito. The son thus takes it upon himself to put an end to the curse, targeting his own mother in his efforts to save the family. This Mexican B-movie from 1960 is based on a well-known Latin ghost story.
