New Goreleans, also known as Boo Goreleans or New Orleans, is a place in the south of the Boonighted States of Scaremerica, in Monster High in Louisiana. Being a place down in the south, it has swamps and muggy areas. New Goreleans is a major Boonited States port in the Boonited States, and the largest city in Louisiana. It is home to Honey Swamp, daughter of the Honey Island swamp-monster. Operetta lived here with her father, the Phantom of the Opera, when he took a position as artistic haunter on the skeleton of a riverboat opera house, though they now live in New Salem.
History[]
The group is welcomed in Londoom by Clawdia Wolf, Clawdeen's older sister, who studies there to become a writer. She takes them to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of Londoom, as that's what the group thinks the riddle refers to, where Hoodude manages to grab the crown for a closer look. There is, however, no note inside. All they end up doing is attracting the attention of the zombie Yeoman Warders that guard the Crown Jewels until they return the crown to them so the guards can return to their posts. Clawdia asks what the clue was, and upon hearing it realizes that the "crown" refers to the skull rather than jewelry and points the group at a statue of William Spooksfear near the Globe Theater. Robecca gets the skull and unlocks it, finding the next note. Elissabat writes that Londoom is no longer safe and that she'll travel further to New Goreleans, where she hopes Dracula will finally meet her. She has included a map for his convenience. The group, along with Clawdia, immediately returns to their boat and sets sail for the USA, unaware Ygor is following them.
In New Goreleans, the map and Robecca lead the group to a ghost ship named the Bijou on the Bayou. Onboard, they meet Honey Swamp, who is getting footage for her student film. She reveals the Bayou Bijou to be a ship famous for its numerous big-name guests and performers. The actress Veronica Von Vamp, for instance, gave her first performance on the ship. Draculaura has little time to be annoyed at the mention of the actress she loathes because Ygor hijacks the Bayou Bijou. The group appears caught at first, but Honey calls upon the alligators living in the bayou to form a bridge to the shore. They escape, but Ygor accidentally sinks the Bijou on the Bayou, meaning the ghost ship isn't accessible anymore until the next full moon. The fear that they have to wait a full month to go back to look for clues is erased by Honey, who has a close-up of an encased letter by Elissabat left for Dracula among her footage on her camera. The letter reveals that Elissabat gave the Vampire's Heart to someone she and Dracula trust, which Robecca believes to be Veronica. Not only was she in New Goreleans at the time, but the movie poster for the next Vampire Majesty movie also depicts her holding the Vampire's Heart. The group sets out for Hauntlywood, which Clawdia is very pleased with and which has Honey choosing to come along. Ygor continues to follow them and informs Lord Stoker of their new destination. Tired of it all and fed up with Ygor's repeated failures to bring Draculaura back to Transylvania, Stoker transforms and heads off to Hauntlywood himself to capture Draculaura. [Source]
