Nightmare on Chicago Street will be unleashing the nine levels of hell of the Aztec underworld Saturday as it prepares to thrill, entertain and scare the bejesus out of the thousands expected to flock to downtown Elgin for the annual scare fest
Plaza Mictlan is part of a new stage being added along Grove Avenue that designed especially for Hispanic audiences, said Edell Fiedler, Elgin’s new director of communications and engagement. The area will highlight Hispanic afterlife traditions. The Day of the Dead, often represented by candy skulls, is one of those traditions that comes from mythology, and Mictlan is the underworld of Aztec mythology. It’s ruled by Mictlantecuhtlim, god of the dead, who’s portrayed by a skull face.
