Sometimes seeing is believing. Offered only after sundown, HELLVISION™ uses handheld projectors to bring the bloody and bewitched stories from our 'Walking the Devil's Empire' tour, out of the archives and onto the streets of the French Quarter. This dark marriage of digital imaging and traditional storytelling takes our usual tour route and adds in glowing photos of our favorite shadowy characters, the historical documents we pull our true crime stories from, behind-the-scenes glimpses of famous architecture, and a unique look at old New Orleans you won’t find anywhere else. The perfect immersive experience for aspiring time travelers and folks who like their history books illustrated.
