13 O’Clock Episode 448: The Carter Brothers and Other Vampires of New Orleans

/ Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

New Orleans is steeped in vampire lore, with its rich history and dark mysteries intertwining to create a legacy of legendary creatures of the night. Among the most famous are the Carter Brothers, believed to be powerful, immortal vampires who once roamed the French Quarter, feeding on the blood of the city’s elite. Then there’s Jacques St. Germain, an enigmatic and charismatic figure from the 18th century, rumored to have lived for centuries due to his supposed vampiric nature. His opulent lifestyle and strange immortality added to his mystique, making him a focal point in New Orleans vampire legends. Perhaps the most eerie of all are the Casket Girls, young women brought to New Orleans in the 18th century, whose mysterious deaths and rumored vampiric ties became a chilling part of the city’s folklore. These figures, each with their own dark tale, continue to fuel the fascination with New Orleans’ vampire mythology, blending the line between fact and fiction.

13 O’Clock Episode 101 – Vlad The Impaler

/ Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

13 O’Clock is getting medieval on your ass and tackling a classic and oft-requested topic: Vlad the Impaler, aka Vlad Tepes, aka Vlad Dracula. The 15th-century Wallachian ruler was certainly ruthless, but was he really as monstrous as he is perceived? And how much of the fictional Dracula was based upon his actual exploits? Delve into vampire lore and Romanian history on this fun, blood-drenched episode, which also includes a truly bizarre Florida news story about a man who faked his own murder in the most convoluted way possible. Polish your fangs, pour yourself a glass of the red stuff, and get comfy in your coffin as we get episode 101 under way.
