'Dare to Visit a Real Haunted House...The Mortuary Haunted House Opens Its
Doors!'

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- "In the heart of New Orleans' Cities of
the Dead, lies The Mortuary...Where if you're not screaming, you're already
dead!" The Mortuary Haunted House announces its 2009 Grand Opening on Friday,
September 11th!

The Haunted Mortuary is an icon of old New Orleans at the very dead end of
world famous Canal Street. Less than 3 miles from the enchanting French
Quarter, this magnificent mansion was originally built in 1872 and operated
for about 80 years as an actual MORTUARY. The property is monitored 24/7 with
devices to watch, listen, and record the existence of real ghosts. This is an
actively-haunted, 14,000 square foot, 3-story mansion that is reported to have
numerous known resident ghosts.

"It's not your typical Haunted House," says Jeff Borne owner of The Mortuary.
"The Mortuary Haunted House property is surrounded by actual graveyards. Ghost
Hunters from around the world have come to The Mortuary to experience
unearthly entities throughout the property year round. Now add to what is
undoubtedly a very scary environment to begin with, state of the art
animatronics, theatrical sets, movie quality makeup, and special effects and
you get to experience one of the most terrifying Halloween haunts ever. To top
that all off, the place was featured by The Travel Channel as one of
'America's Scariest Attractions!' As well, it is being featured on the
Discovery Channel's new paranormal show, Ghost Lab, this Halloween Season.
It's the perfect setting for a one-of-kind haunted house!"

Upon entering the dark corridors of The Mortuary Haunted House, victims... I
mean... guests will encounter the works of a twisted mortician named
Ravencroft who discovered the secret to immortality many years ago when he
unknowingly removed the life rejuvenating fluids from a body in the process of
transforming into a vampire. He experimented on all forms of living and dead
matter with the fluid, including himself. Now he needs an endless supply of
blood to continue his ghastly experiments and to extend his own life. Guests
will experience Ravencroft's experiments and his unfortunate results.

By popular demand, this year's attraction will open Friday, Sept. 11th and run
weekends through Nov. 14th plus all of Halloween Week. Borne added, "During
the weekend of Nov. 6th, we will also feature a special Flashlight Fear Fest
Weekend where our brave guests will tour The Mortuary in complete darkness
with only micro-flashlights to guide their way. And, during the weekend of
November 13th, we will host an exclusive Friday The 13th Slasher Weekend
hosted by your favorite horror movie serial killers wielding machetes, finger
blades, and of course, a chainsaw maniac! You'll be the victim in your own
adrenaline filled slasher movie only at The Mortuary Haunted House. It's
terror extreme at The Mortuary Haunted House.

Again, this year The Mortuary is "Out For Blood" as we team up with The Blood
Center for their annual blood drive. Give the gift of life and donate blood on
location at The Mortuary and you'll receive a FREE VIP Admission to the haunt.

The Mortuary is also available for private Halloween Parties complete with
catering, entertainment, and the creatures of the night. Group discounts are
also available. For more information, dates, hours, special events, and
