Voodoo banshees.
I have a feeling that banshees will be the next big occult fad.

The Hatian Slave Revolt happened around the turn of the century as well. Thus the spread of voo doo in New Orleans.

Late 1808 it began. Most came over in 1809. Here's my take on Marie Laveau from the previous thread:
quote:
Still trying to figure out what age she will be, as there are disputed DOBs for her. She is generally considered to be late teens to early twenties about this time. But some have her as being late twenties.
Her character for me though is the hairdresser for society that gathers information from the haitian servants and workers of the rich and powerful through voodoo. She scares them into giving her info, which she then uses for her own profit.
Haitian immigration happens around 1809, though the beginnings happen in late 1808 when the series starts.
She will be a big character.

In 1814 we took a little trip, Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin' on
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
i'd watch if you can find a spot for that diddy

Wrap a really good love story around it. It all hinges on great dialogue and the development of interesting characters in which the audience becomes emotionally invested.
Of course, you have to have the money for a great soundtrack, great cinematography, a great director, etc.
If you go cheap you will have Scifi channel quality and then you will need a gimmick, like zombie redcoats vs French Quarter lesbo vampires.

Of course
I love the classic Johnny Horton version but the Johnny Cash version is WOW
and for research, some great historical stories/characters in the history fo the french quarter, first published in 1932 I think
ETA: here's the book cover- fantastic for historical perspective

I've read that. Great book.

The original version of The Buccaneer (1938) is far superior to the rather stiff remake. My favorite scene is the swordfight between Lafitte and the traitor in the dungeon of the Cabildo.
Unfortunately it's not on YouTube... However searching for it just now I discovered that Clark Gable did a radio version around the same time as the film.

Driftwood (who I believe was an Arkansas HS history teacher) added lyrics in the 1950s
And the song, remember, is from the point of view of Jackson's militia, not the creoles

Charles Vane, of the Ranger.

I just realized that the Irish immigration is happening around the same time too.
Crazy how much is going on in the city in the early 1800s.
