Ghost Manor

on Magazine Street

Announcement: Ghost Manor closed for 2025

Dear Ghost Manor friends and neighbors,

After 13 wonderful Halloweens together, we have some disappointing news: Ghost Manor will not happen in 2025.

A major Magazine Street road work project just caught us by surprise. Construction began this week and will last three months—right through Halloween. It involves detours that bypass the neighborhood and will result in increased local cross-street traffic right where the crowd would be. With these constrained access routes for our 10,000+ annual visitors, we simply can’t create the Ghost Manor experience under these conditions.

Though this wasn’t originally our plan, we’re excited to finally visit many of the amazing local Halloween attractions and events we’ve been too busy to enjoy! Please join us in supporting these local Halloween activities that make New Orleans so wonderfully spooky and the best place on earth to celebrate the season.

This pause also gives us time to rest, refresh, and dream up new frights and innovations. Ghost Manor has been our family’s labor of love, and we hope to return in 2026 (or as soon as we’re truly ready) with even more magic and whimsy.

Thank you for 13 years of cheers, laughs, and unforgettable October nights. You’ve made this journey more incredible than we ever imagined.

Until we meet again…

— The Ghost Manor Family

About Ghost Manor

Ghost Manor is an award-winning haunted attraction like no other. Fully experienced from the outside banquette, you’ll experience flying ghosts, singing skeletons, dancing zombies, and a whole array of other interesting characters frolicking in this most haunted of houses. It has become a favorite of visitors from around the country and the world for its uniquely whimsical parodies of not only well-known Halloween tropes but also other popular entertainment references in music, movies and theatre, thoroughly transformed by the magic of Halloween.

Hailed for its technical achievements in lighting design, special effects, and custom-designed animatronics, it’s a one-of-a-kind experience of haunted vignettes which are designed to entertain, delight, and impress (and sometimes make you laugh) more than merely scare. It’s suitable for all ages, and both adults and children come back over and over to fully appreciate the richly layered detail and artistic creativity.
