La Llorona costumes are some of the scariest ghost costumes out there. Maybe because we all heard her story when we were little and our parents (or grandparents) were trying to scare us into doing something.
Time to go to bed? You better, or La Llorona will get you! Won’t finish your supper? La Llorona takes children who won’t do as they’re told!
These days, La Llorona costumes are a big favorite at Halloween and Day of the Dead. You might even say, a sentimental favorite. Why? Well, you know we all love to get scared out of our wits and what better way to do that than to dress up as a specter that terrified us from childhood.
Her story is still told to this day in many, many versions. She still lives in the cultures of Central America, Mexico and yep, the American latinx community. In fact, La Llorona is even cited in the Texas State Historical Association website. There’s more interesting versions of her story at Legends Of America.
