Could your laughter be the perfect disguise for a creature of the night? Prepare to giggle and gasp as we whisk you away to the mysterious avenues of New Orleans, where vampire lore isn't just for the silver screen. We'll kick things off with a bone-chilling tale that might just make a believer out of you, and share the infectious humor. Then, strap in as we navigate the fog-laden path from 'Twilight' nostalgia to the blood-curdling legends that have haunted humanity for generations. With the Casket Girls at the Ursuline Convent as our guides, we'll explore the unsettling early history of New Orleans and the specters that may still lurk in its shadows.

Amid the web of history and mystery, we've roped in our expert Jonathan  to connect the dots between the enigmatic Count Saint-Germain and the Renaissance powerhouse, the Medici family. Feel the intrigue thicken as Jonathan  unravels the threads of power, politics, and the personal tales that painted Europe's storied past. As we venture deeper into the night, you'll hear chilling accounts of the Carter Brothers and discover how the innocent facade of barbershops intertwines with vampire folklore. Our journey culminates with a haunting encounter in a boutique that'll have you questioning the fabric of reality. So, tune in, hold tight, and let the Crescent City's vampiric whispers send shivers down your spine.
