Warner Bros' horror division is responsible for some of the finest scary movies of the last few years, including the likes of The Conjuring (both of them), Annabelle: Creation, and It. The newest addition to this club - The Curse Of La Llorona - is out in 2019, and by all accounts, its central ghoul is going to be one that keeps you up at night for months after the credits roll.

The Weeping Woman - or, La Llorona - is based on a real-life Mexican folk tale. The story goes that she's the ghost of a woman who lost her children, and as a result, can be heard crying while she looks for them. She's also rather angry (understandably), and subjects nearby people to some misery of their own, and has even been said to kidnap lost children.

Based on the trailer, the movie will follow this character outline closely, with the Weeping Woman seen terrorising a pair of kids hiding inside a car. The ghost's screaming face is pure nightmare fuel, and the fact that she's based on a myth that frightens people in reality just gives the movie a "could this happen in real life?" spooky edge.

Plus, even when Warner Bros' scary films are poor (The Nun) their baddies are the best things in them, so in all likelihood, the Weeping Woman will be another standout horror icon for the studio.
