The Cursed Carnival: A New Orleans Nightmare" was created by a team of local New Orleans artists, performers, and horror enthusiasts who wanted to blend the city's rich cultural traditions with a terrifying haunted experience. The mastermind behind the carnival concept is Marcus Dupree, a well-known event producer in the city with a passion for New Orleans’ haunted history.

Marcus teamed up with local storytellers, set designers, and special effects experts to bring the cursed carnival to life. Inspired by the eerie folklore surrounding New Orleans' dark past, the creators aimed to evoke the spirit of the city’s carnival culture, while weaving in elements of its supernatural lore. The collaborative effort has helped transform the event into a highly anticipated annual attraction, drawing both locals and tourists eager to face the spine-chilling thrills.

Dupree and his team worked to ensure that the experience feels as authentic as it is terrifying, pulling inspiration from real ghost stories and historical events from the New Orleans area. They also incorporated local actors and performers, who bring a uniquely New Orleans flair to the carnival’s haunting atmosphere.
