Delaporte Manor: A New Halloween Destination for New Orleans
Crouched in the vibrant Uptown neighborhood, Delaporte Manor is set to redefine Halloween entertainment in New Orleans. The soon-to-open immersive attraction, created by Andrew Preble of Escape My Room, combines the spine-tingling thrill of a haunted house with the engaging puzzles of an escape room. This unique experience promises to provide a blend of horror and interactive storytelling that will excite both locals and visitors this spooky season.
Combining Terrifying Tales with Interactive Adventures
Delaporte Manor takes its cues from rich narrative traditions and the immersive experiences that have become popular in cities like Los Angeles. Inspired by the Delusion experience, this haunted venue expands upon the previous escape room offerings, transforming its Camp Street space into a two-story fright fest. Andrew Preble emphasizes that they are steering clear of conventional jump scares, opting instead for a more refined approach that involves deeper storytelling with attention to atmospheric details.
A Scary Tale with a Local Flavor
The manor's story revolves around the Delaporte family, steeped in New Orleans history. Participants will find themselves at a doll show gone wrong, led by a child whose cursed plaything threatens to trap them as living dolls. This original narrative is just one of the ways that Andrew and his team aim to leverage local lore and culture to create a frightful experience that is both personal and eerie.
Who Is This Experience For?
Delaporte Manor is perfect for anyone seeking a thrilling night out, from young couples to families with older kids. The attraction maintains a PG-13 rating, making it accessible while ensuring that the chills are real yet suitable for a broader audience. For local culture seekers and thrill enthusiasts, the manor promises a uniquely New Orleans spin on Halloween festivities.
Embracing the Fragile Balance Between Fun and Fright
The idea behind Delaporte Manor is not just to scare but to engage guests fully in the experience. The team is committed to a mixture of different elements—comedy and intrigue, fear and fun—creating a space where every dark corner holds a surprise that keeps you guessing. From puppetry to theater techniques, guests can expect a meticulously crafted environment that accentuates suspense while allowing interaction with characters who bolster the story.

As Halloween approaches, Delaporte Manor offers an invitation to experience the macabre in a fresh and meaningful way. It promises to resonate with our city's love for storytelling while uncovering layers of chilling mystery.
