Bourbons Lot: Vampires in the Swamp
Bayou Channel Zero
When you think of vampires the first place that comes to mind might be Transylvania right?! Wrong Louisiana is home to countless vampire stories and surprisingly enough our own town called Transylvania! as well as a whole Cafe in New Orleans called The Vampire Cafe, so hold on tight as the boys will show you the skin of a killer loca, watch as they glisten in the sunlight and tell two of the stories less commonly known around the state much less the country. The casket girls of New Orleans were genuinely misunderstood? or were their disguises completely seen through? Maybe they might...

Travel back in time with the boys to learn about how Louisianians have been terrifying their children for centuries with tales of being turned into a dog, or how they better tuck their feet under their blankets at night and if they didn't the Rougarou would pull their toes, or how their parents brought them to the Audubon Zoo to see the "Rougarou" in person; now listen I know what you're saying Mr. Ominous Narrator we already know the story of the rougarou?! and to that dear reader I say: Mais no you don't beb.
We re-tell the stories passed down for generations as well as talk about the cultural impact that the stories of the rougarou had on us growing up, from a simple story told to children to make sure they behaved ESPECIALLY during lent, to a full blown 3 day festival this October 17th-19th 2025 in the Rougarous biggest hotspots for sightings: HOUMA LOUISIANA. The secret word to score yourself a BCZ koozie is (long circles) so come find the boys as they walk around the festival and tell them about any weird or supernatural stories you may have and make sure to bring up the secret word! So follow along with us as we take you on the fantastical ride, feet first into the big hairy Magnalite pot that is the rougarou.
Put you on your lil robe, let the vinyl needle fall on your favorite Vin Bruce album, pour you some black berry wine, and make sure to keep 13 pennies close to you because you would'nt want to be the rougarous next victim would you?
