It’s not really right to do an onoffical spinoff without the full team. But The Conjuring franchise is created by a team that’s been there since the beginning. But James was on as a producer, the conversation got started about an Easter Egg. “The idea was just to have a playful connection because the myth of La Llorona can stand on its own. “It’s a tricky situation, I don’t want to give away any trade secrets,” Chaves continued. But as La Llorona is an outsider herself, I think it fits. And that’s why it has this outsider status. While the roots of the La Llorona legend appear to be pre-Hispanic, the earliest published reference to the legend is a 19th century sonnet by Mexican poet. The plan was, you would get into it, and then it’s like, ‘Oh my God, they’re connected!’ We weren’t, from the beginning, supposed to be doing that. But it wasn’t supposed to be marketed that way. Originally, there was only supposed to be a playful nod, by putting The Father in and having the Annabelle flash. “Half the crew actually does believe the house that we shot in was haunted, and there might have been something to that.“The very simple reason isn’t it was made without one of the producers, so technically it can not be fully embraced,” Chaves explained. “We did have some creepy supernatural occurrences,” the director Michael Chaves told the LA Times. But this wouldn’t be the first time that the crew has experienced a setback. It is expected to open to a franchise low $17 million in the United States, according to Box Office Mojo.

Here are all the creepy answers you need Pictures shows Jaynee-Lynne Kinchen, left, and Linda Cardellini in a scene from The Curse of La Llorona. The Chumash of Southern California have their own connection to La Llorona, as does La Malinche. “Both women alienate themselves from their worlds for their men, both grow jealous and then rage and act in defiance,” historian Gregorio Luke told the Long Beach Press Telegram in 2011. Medea, in particular, has a lot in common with Maria. In Norse mythology, the figure Gudrun kills her own children as well, as do the Greek figures of Medea and Lamia, the latter of whom was turned into a child-eating monster when she was found to be Zeus’ mistress by Hera. “Maria drowned her sons in grief, and soon after she went missing, her own body washed up on the banks of the river,” the story continues.ĭifferent cultures have their own versions of La Llorona. The nobleman dumped Maria, married another woman, thereby mending his strained relationship with his family. She wears a white gown and roams the rivers and creeks, wailing into the night and searching for children to drag. The tall, thin spirit is said to be blessed with natural beauty and long flowing black hair. But ultimately, the report says, their differences became too much for their relationship to handle. The legend of La Llorona (pronounced LAH yoh ROH nah), Spanish for the Weeping Woman, has been a part of Hispanic culture in the Southwest since the days of the conquistadores. Maria caught the eye of a village nobleman - a Spaniard - who pursued her despite the warnings of the villagers.

SyFy Wire says that while the legend of La Llorona is largely thought of as a Mexican tale - a story that every child is told in their youth - it can trace its origins to Aztec times.
This time it is the Mexican folk tale of La Llorona, a woman who is said to have drowned her two children in a river, and wanders the earth looking to steal others’. Like the series’ previous entries - the first and second Conjuring films, two more Annabelle movies and The Nun - the Curse of the Weeping Woman also claims to be (at least in part) based on a real story. The latest instalment in James Wan’s Conjuring Universe, The Curse of the Weeping Woman, was released across the world on Friday.
