"La Llorona," or "The Weeping Woman," is an urban legend surrounding a beautiful woman who drowns her children in order to be with her lover. When the man refuses her, "La Llorona" drowns herself. According to the legend, the woman cannot enter the afterlife until she finds her children.

"Feel her pain and suffering as you succumb to her legend of tragedy," Universal Orlando wrote on its Facebook page. "Enter the watery realm of La Llorona."

Universal used the "La Llorona" haunted house at its Hollywood location in both 2011 and 2012.

Halloween Horror Nights 23 begins on September 20 and runs on select nights through November 2.
