New Orleans is an American city in the U.S. state of Louisiana. It is a port city and the largest city in the state. The largest neighborhoods in New Orleans are the French Quarter and the Garden District. It is known for its French-Creole culture, as well as Cajun ethnicity and hosts the annual festival known as Mardi Gras, as well as other popular recreational venues including food and jazz festivals. New Orleans has proven to be a popular locale for the horror film genre, owing largely to the popularity of author Anne Rice and her 1976 novel Interview with the Vampire.
New Orleans became a major recurring setting in season five of the HBO series True Blood and was revealed to be the headquarters of the Vampire Authority. On one particularly gruesome evening of revelry, Russell Edgington, and other members of the reformed Authority became intoxicated after drinking the blood of vampire elder Lilith. They went into the French Quarter and gorged themselves on unsuspecting humans at a karaoke bar.
Points of Interest[]
- 1239 First Street
- The Greek revival mansion located at 1239 First Street in the Garden District was constructed for Albert Brevard in 1857. Brevard lived there for two years before committing suicide by shooting himself in front of the door after receiving the tax assessment on the home. The home was inherited by his daughter, who sold it in 1869 to Reverend Clapp. During the turn of the century, a resident named Pamela Starr Crapp lived at 1239. She died in 1929 after falling down a staircase. Residents living in the house during the 1950s have claimed to have seen her ghost. Author Anne Rice and her husband Stan, and son Christopher moved into the house in 1989. Rice used the house as the model for the Mayfair residence in the Lives of the Mayfair Witches series of novels.
- Dark Oaks
- Dark Oaks was the name of an old plantation estate owned by the Caldwell family of New Orleans. It was previously owned by a retired military officer named Colonel Caldwell. Upon his death, Dark Oaks was passed down to his daughter, Katherine Caldwell. At this time, Katherine had been involved with a Hungarian nobleman named Count Alucard, whom she fell in love with and married. Alucard turned out to be a vampire and the son of the infamous Count Dracula. Katherine's former boyfriend, Frank Stanley, attempted to kill Alucard, but accidentally shot Katherine instead, killing her. After which, the estate was presumably inherited by her sister, Claire Caldwell.

- Papa Sugar's Voodoo Shop
- Papa Sugar's Voodoo Shop was owned and operated by a man who called himself Papa Sugar, which also served as his primary residence. It was located in New Orleans, Louisiana, and specialized in the sale of occult items relating to voodoo.

- Storyville
- Storyville was a neighborhood located in the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. It was established by the New Orleans City Council in 1897 with municipal ordnance to regulate prostitution. The area was named for Sidney Story, who was a city alderman that drafted the legislation governing prostitution in the city. For decades most of this former district was occupied by the Iberville Housing Projects (mostly demolished), two blocks inland from the French Quarter. The neighborhood currently lies in Faubourg Tremé and the majority of the land was repurposed for public housing. It was bound by the streets of North Robertson, Iberville, Basin, and St. Louis Streets.
