Lindsay closes out our Halloween-themed triptych by diving into the legend of La Llorona. For starters, she describes the various iterations of La Llorona’s “origin story,” before sharing a number of reported first-hand run-ins with the sad spectre. For dessert, she serves up helpings of pop culture mentions of the moaning mother if you can’t get enough of our main course. If you hate misogyny and aren’t squeamish about kids getting murdered, like, all the time, then this is the slice for you.
