Review
"Shown on Mexican television every Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos... it is also widely considered the best Mexican film of the horror genre. Mexican movie studios did produce a number of horror movies during the 1950's-1960's (Mexican Cinema's Golden Age), but they were largely mediocre movies featuring masked wrestlers. What sets Hasta el Viento Tiene Miedo apart from the latter is Taboada's introduction of 19th century literary gothic motifs in a contemporary setting... Hasta el Viento Tiene Miedo is the first in a horror trilogy by Taboada and while Veneno Para las Hadas (Poison for the Fairies) received awards and was more critically acclaimed it's the former that remains his most popular film." - Cinema Nostalgia
