I don't think I've ever shared our photos of the Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, in New Orleans Louisiana. Beautiful cemetery, beautiful "ovens", and some famous points of interest.
These grave are mentioned in the Anne Rice book "The Mayfair Witches"
This plot was used in the film "Double Jeopardy". A fake tomb was built on this site and used for the scene when Ashley Judd's character Libby is locked in the vault by her ex husband, played by Bruce Greenwood.
This vault is mentioned in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, as a place that the vampire Lestat would use to hide if he couldn't make it all the way home before dawn.
