This hybrid walking tour combines horror filming locations with ghost stories, true crime, and vampire legends. Discover what makes New Orleans the most haunted city in the United States.
We will walk through the French Quarter to visit the sites where popular horror movies and tv shows were filmed. This will include The Originals, American Horror Story Coven, Interview with the Vampire, Disney's Haunted Mansion, and more. We also give insight into the film industry and why New Orleans became known as the Hollywood of the South.
Along the way, we also tell New Orleans' infamous ghost stories, explore true crime, share vampire legends, and visit haunted sites such as the LaLaurie Mansion. New Orleans is known as one of the most haunted cities in the USA for many good reasons. We even have real-life vampires.
The tour starts at 400 Royal Street on the courthouse steps near Brennan's Restaurant. We walk down Chartres Street, cross through Jackson Square, and include a break area for restrooms or drinks. The second half of the tour loops up Royal Street and ends at Pirates Alley in the middle of the French Quarter.
Since this is an outdoor walking tour, we recommend wearing comfortable shoes and dressing for the weather. The French Quarter is a high traffic area, so we also recommend arriving early due to road closures, parades, crowds, etc.
