NOLA's / Mortuary's Comeback from Katrina


It doesn't take a graduate degree from the 'Jon Gnagy School of Drawing' to realize for most of the hurricane ridden New Orleans landscape, homes and businesses, it's been a long haul to get back to some established normalcy...let alone thrive again.
A lot of re-invention took place and lots of stick-to-intuitiveness was rounded up for people and Main Street to continue to stay in NOLA.

 

Which brings us to this month's BLOG theme...at the Mortuary "Origins of Evil" .

The Mortuary's been counted out a few times after Katrina hit. But time after time these guys come up with well-thought-out-themes that keep Halloween revelers coming back year after year. After all, these creepers were featured on CBS's NCIS (NOLA) .

 

They have National Status to live-up-to. It wasn't a cameo either - It was featured as an integral part of the show's plot line. The Mortuary's creepy insides are revealed in great detail and offers the perfect venue for mystery & mayhem. Not a bad little piece of exposure for both of us.

Take a look at the details of the CBS NCIS episode that aired: October 17th, 2017, called "Dead Man Calling" -  featuring the Mortuary Haunted Mansion at: IMDb CBS NCIS Link


The Mortuary has been home to some very scary voices over the past decade and a half. Nice, The Mort is getting some positive chi as one of the best haunt experiences in the industry.

Google's rating for: "The Mortuary" is a popular, award-winning haunted attraction in New Orleans with high scare factors, jump scares, and a long-standing reputation as a great haunt.

Hopefully, that positiveness can help bring more normalcy where NOLA and Main Street can thrive. 

 
Now as to those scary voices, we had to pull out all the stops on this one! As Alpheus Merchant said in Men in Black II "That pretty lady in there, was causin' all kinda hell". We were tasked to deliver a mood that was shakin'-in-your-boots scary. So we made the Creepy-Guy voice even 
D-e-e-p-e-r  &  C-r-e-e-p-i-e-r - - Oh...NO0oo!
 

THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT

Every ancient horror has a beginning… every myth, every "whisper; in the
dark can be traced back to her. Long before the monsters, before the witches danced under the stars, before wolves howled at the cursed moons, before the dead refused to stay dead…there was a woman...a daughter of Eden. Claimed by Serpent. Forgotten by the Heavens...
