  • Mardi Gras Massacre (1978) : a serial killer roams the streets of Mardi Gras to make sacrifices to a Peruvian god. Not a repeater for the Schmidt house.
  • Dracula 2000 (2000) : the costume parade is not Halloween, it is Mardi Gras and the action takes place primarily in New Orleans when a recently re-awakened Dracula trails havok through the city with the colleagues of Van Helsing on his tail.
  • Mardi Gras (1958) : as yet unseen by us musical with Pat Boone
  • Interview with a Vampire (1994) : so natural and yet it almost slipped my mind
  • Flesh and Fantasy (1943) : provided we can get a hold of it, this occult anthology seems right up our alley at the Schmidt house
  • A Woman’s Secret (1992) – Italian thriller with Margeaux Hemingway.
  • Hatchet (2006) – gory slasher!
  • Death Spa (1988) – gory supernatural thrillery thing. Why does everyone keep going to this place?
  • “The Perfect Foil” Murder, She Wrote (S2.E21) – Jessica Fletcher is visiting a distant cousin during Mardi Gras when he is accused of murder during a costume party.
