2024 ATTRACTIONS

Under the Blood Moon’s eerie glow, the old scarecrow in the Lindsay’s field came to life, its eyes gleaming with malevolence. Animated by an ancient curse, it hunts trespassers every Fall. The first victim, a thrill-seeking teenager, felt a cold, straw-filled hand grip his shoulder before darkness consumed him. As night progressed, more intruders were hunted, their screams echoing through the night. By dawn, the field was silent, the blood-soaked scarecrow standing vigil, waiting for the next unwary soul.

As global temperatures rose, an ancient virus buried in thawing Antarctica, Necrotherma Virulenta (NTV-1), emerged, turning people into ravenous zombies. Thriving in the warmer climate, the virus spread rapidly and mutated aggressively. Cities fell to chaos as survivors fought to survive behind barricades. Led by an epidemiologist, a small group ventures into the heart of infection, seeking a way to stop Necrotherma Virulenta and save humanity.

The Midnight Coven gathered under a moonless night, led by the Sorceress Selene. They aimed to usurp Baron Crow’s immense powers, using ancient spells and forbidden rituals to control him and his dominion over souls. As their magic grew stronger, fear spread through the city. Baron Crow, now a puppet of the Coven, watched helplessly as New Orleans fell under their malevolent rule.
