      Storyline

      Did you know

      Edit
      • Trivia
        Steven Wilson composed a song of the same name inspired by the film
      • Goofs
        In the final scene, Flavia is shown standing in an empty yard. The angle switches, and there is a very short shot of her sitting with her knees clearly bent, as if she is on a chair or a bench. In the next shot, she is standing again with nothing nearby on which she might have been sitting.
      • Alternate versions
        An alternate ending was shot where both girls escape the burning house, not just one of them, and swear each other to secrecy. Also, Jaime's murder is edited out on most TV prints

      A very scary movie
      I'm a fan of horror flicks, and I must say that "Veneno para las hadas" is the scariest film in 80's Mexican cinema. Horror films were very popular at that time, films such as "Friday the 13th", "A Nightmare on Elm Street", "Halloween" -and their sequels- followed the same plot, you know a boogyman killing everyone around, except a virgin heroine. "Veneno para las hadas" has a flawless direction, some false scares, and very good acting; this movie is for those who believe in witchcraft, devil, and in good horror. That's it, go and rent it!!!
