Hunting for creepy Easter eggs in New Orleans
The Krewe of Krampus is making Easter weird again with its annual Kreeps hunt.
Why it matters: We gotta be different in New Orleans.
The big picture: Krampus members are hiding more than 100 Kreeps in metro New Orleans through Easter Sunday, krewe captain Mike Esordi tells Axios New Orleans.
The Kreeps are made of plaster and shaped like marshmallow Peeps. They are decorated by hand and put in recycled paper eggs.
It's the fourth year Krampus has hidden Kreeps.
How it works: There are no clues.
"Just luck and timing," the krewe says. "If you find one, it's yours to keep!"
You can follow the Kreeps hunt on Facebook and Instagram.
State of play: The Krewe of Krampus organizes the country's largest Krampus parade.
The krewe is known for its darker themes and gives out lumps of coal at the parade.
Members also hide Swampus Skulls for Halloween, but those come with clues.
