This oft-filmed cemetery may look quite familiar to you — it has been used as a setting for many TV shows and movies, and also by author Anne Rice, who even staged a mock funeral here as a promotion for her book “Memnoch the Devil.” Rice played the part of a corpse in an antique wedding dress, riding in an open coffin carried by pallbearers. The cemetery lies across the street from the renowned Commander’s Palace Restaurant, famously haunted by Emile Commander himself. It is said to be the most haunted cemetery around.
