Happy Halloween. The most frightening time of the year has arrived in the world’s most haunted city. This issue is filled with Halloween happenings, and the fun starts with Kimmie Tubre’s look at the history of costuming in the Crescent City.
The excitement continues with a profile of the Krewe of Boo—New Orleans’ official Halloween parade—as well as Emily Hingle’s report on the “real” haunted mansion at the Jacob Schoen Funeral Home.
If staying home and watching scary movies is your idea of excitement, then check out Jeff Boudreaux’s breakdown of New Orleans-centric Halloween movies. Jeff also shares something sweet with the history of beignets.
But October is more than just Halloween. Our rundown of the best fall festivals continues, as Sabrina Stone talks to Christopher Beary about the new NOLA Funk Fest.
Have fun and stay safe.
