Set in the heart of the Zona Colonial in Santo Domingo, The Wedding, The Witch, and The Window is a chilling tale of superstition, inheritance, and the unseen forces that lurk in the shadows.
Teresa, a wealthy young mother, is eager to introduce her newborn son, John, to the world. But when she takes him outside before the traditional forty-day protection period has passed, she unknowingly invites something ancient and malevolent into their lives. A mysterious woman in white, with a face both ageless and terrifying, appears in the rain-soaked streets, delivering a cryptic warning-one that Teresa brushes aside until it's too late.
What begins as an unsettling encounter quickly unravels into a night of pure terror. As shadows stretch unnaturally across walls and unseen whispers fill the air, Teresa, her faithful housekeeper Martha, and the skeptical yet resolute doctor must fight to protect the child from forces beyond their comprehension. Rituals are performed, prayers are spoken, but the entity stalking them is not easily banished.
The mansion, once a place of elegance and safety, becomes a battleground between the living and the dead. Even when the night passes and the cleansing rituals are complete, Teresa knows the presence still lingers. Watching. Waiting. And if it cannot have John now-it will find another way.
Blending Dominican folklore, eerie gothic horror, and the unsettling fear of what lies beyond the veil, The Wedding, The Witch, and The Window is a gripping supernatural tale where tradition and terror collide.
