Quotes

Samuel: I believe in what I see girl... snakes belong on the ground... this one hangs them in the air. A man's heart lies in his chest... this one digs it out and buries it in the ground. I know a Brujo who can put an arrow in you from a mile away, I saw a Brujo lay his hand on a child's head one time... ONE TIME... and that child doubled up cramped up and spewed/spat up white beads... TILL SHE DIED!

What are the differences between the theatrical version and the Extended version of the movie?

To put it simply, for the Extended version of the movie all the deleted scenes + the alternate ending of the US-DVD have been reinserted and this adds up to an extra time of about 17 minutes. A detailed comparison between both version with pictures can be found here.
