No, it's not a new horror movie, it's actually a very important festival in Spain which takes place this weekend.
The festival has it's origins in Mexico, but the Spanish Conquistadors changed it to coincide with All Saints Day to try and incorporate it into the Religious calendar.
Los días de los muertos is a day when the departed loved ones of the family are remembered and rejoiced. In Spain it is a time for big family gatherings, for family visits to to the graves of relatives and for family members to dedicate a few moments of rememberance.
Here, in Spain, it is a National Holiday.
