Halloween New Orleans

If you thought we'd let a chance to dress up and party pass us by, man, you'd be dead wrong!!
We love Halloween in New Orleans and we're all about the Day of the Dead stuff since many
of our ancestors came from places where this is taken very seriously indeed.  It's a holiday that is
second only to Mardi Gras and as soon as October rolls around people start spooking around in
their "bones" long before the exact date.  Many houses, especially Uptown, get a Halloween make-
over with scary decorations and bone-chilling skeleton inhabitants move in for the month.  Their
human counterparts also begin appearing all over town  Our famous cemeteries should be hopping
tonight.  Go out into the night....if you dare!
