Nothing heralds Halloween in New Orleans like the arrival of the bony guests outside the “Skeleton House,” located at 6000 St. Charles Ave. Every year, apart from 2020 when the skeleton crew took the year off due to the pandemic, the grounds of the home of Louellen Berger and Darryl Berger, former chair of the Board of Tulane, are transformed into a festive and comical attraction for visitors and New Orleanians alike. Louellen Berger created her first Halloween skeleton Lazy Bones in 2002 and the number continues to grow! (Photos by Rusty Costanza)
