"Once there was a poor girl who loved a rich man. She killed her children to be with this man. She drowned them in a river, now the water is their grave. While some say she still walks down by the river, you can hear at night crying for her dead children." - Queue video excerpt

La Llorona: Villa de Almas Perdidas was one of the six haunted mazes that were featured during Halloween Horror Horror Night 2011. It was located in the Shrek 4D Queue.

Description[]

Explore the chilling legend of pain and anguish as your ears succumb to the petrifying screams of a woman consumed by the dreadful guilt of drowning her children and then herself. Doomed to wander the Earth for eternity, La Llorona will stop at nothing to find the souls of her murdered children. Relive the trauma that has haunted and terrified the hours of dark throughout the Americas for over 500 years, as you embark on a spine-chilling journey through the rotting remains of a haunted Mexican village. Beware, for those who hear the wails of La Llorona are marked for death!

Experience[]

Facade[]

The facade was the outside of the San Francisco De La Espada Church. The Facade lit up with Red Lighting to make a Face on the Facade. Guests would then enter the Maze.

Haunted Maze[]

Guests passed through an alcove with pictures of missing children and votive candles. Guests then entered the Interior of the Church where a bunch of Static Figures of Moaning Women were. One of them were real and would pop out at guests. Guests would see Children inside of Coffins and would see through the Windows a Projection of La Llorona eating a Child. La Llorona then would pop out from behind a Wall Panel from the right.

Guests would go down a Hallway with Statues under Arches on the left and right that would flash with White UV as 2 of them were Living Statues and would pop out at guests.

Guests would then enter the Graveyard filled with dead branches where Horse Head La Llorona would pop out at guests. Guests would approach the Crypt of Maria where there was a Santa Muerte Statue that would come alive and pop out at guests. La Llorona would then pop out at guests from the right. The Crypt would then flash with White UV saying La Llorona over Maria's Name.

Guests then entered and saw Maria crawling out of her Crypt. Guests then entered the Bowels of the Crypt with Coffins as La Llorona would pop out through a Hole in the Wall. Guests then went down a Black Hallway where there was a Feather Duster that would hit guests with a Feather.

Guests then went across a Bridge next to a River where there were Dead Children in the River on both sides. Guests would then see La Llorona on the left appear and disappear before La Llorona attacks guests from the right. Guests then enter the Carniceria.

Guests enter and go through Hanging Pigs as Horse Head La Llorona pops out from above from behind a Wall Panel at guests. Guests then exit the Carniceria and are immediately attacked by Horse Head La Llorona.

Guests then enter a House and go down a Hallway with Pictures on both sides. Guests enter a Room with a Casket with a Child as La Llorona pops out at guests. Guests then go down another Hallway of Pictures where La Llorona pops out from behind a Picture of herself. Guests then see something moving on the walls.

Guests then enter a Child's Bedroom where a Child Victim is being eaten by La Llorona to which Santa Muerte would pop from behind a Wall Panel on the right. Guests then are scared by a Moaning Women with a Bell before going down a Black Hallway and exiting the Maze.

Trivia[]

  • The Codename for this House was "Soap Opera". [1].
  • The title translated from Spanish to English is La Llorona: Villa of Lost Souls.
  • Murdy thought this maze's set design was one of the best they have ever done but that it could have been scarier. [2].
  • Murdy loves that this House has a Mostly Female Cast. [3].
  • They worked with actor Diego Luna (Milk) on this House. [4].
  • John Murdy said that the facade of this house was one of his favorites. [5].
  • Murdy didnā€™t grow up with La Llorona so he consulted with a lot of different people & read scores of different versions of the legend from various parts of the southwest & Latin America. The basic core of the story in all the versions was extremely dark & Murdy and team didnā€™t shy away from that. He also did a ton of research on southwestern/Latin American architecture, clothing, & other elements from that time period. Production designer Chris took all that & came up with an eerily beautiful scenic design for the maze[6].
  • All of the Pictures in the Maze are from One of the Lead Prop Guys's (Mercher) Family History.
  • The Facade for this house was inspired by the "Mission San Francisco De La Espada" church in San Antonio, Texas. John Murdy liked the design because it looked like a face.[7].
  • The 3 Children in the Opening Scene are La Llorona's 3 Dead Children.
  • The Statue Hallway was inspired by Murdy's Childhood of growing up as a Catholic Altar Boy and wandering around the Church he went to late at night with Statues.
  • One of the Living Statues in the Statue Hallway is from A Nightmare on Elm Street: Never Sleep Again.
  • The Entrance to the Graveyard is inspired by the Look of a Arch at the Mission San Francisco De La Espada.
  • This House takes you into Maria's Crypt in one section. Maria is the name of the beautiful woman who drowns her children in the story. [8].
  • Guests would walk over actual water in this house, though it was only a few inches deep[9].
  • The Hanging Pigs were from SAW: Game Over.
  • The Cow Heads were from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Back in Business.
  • The Screaming Child Audio at the End of the Maze is from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
  • John Murdy included a giant La Llorona sculpt eating a child in the maze because he found a story that referred to La Llorona as "an eater of children". He took that phrase literally in the maze[10].
