Hollywood Cemetery Makes List of ‘Spooky Southern Cemeteries’

Garden & Gun magazine has a blog post entitled ‘Grave Matters: Spooky Southern Cemeteries’ with the line

Day or night, these six Southern cemeteries make for a memorable Halloween field trip.

Hollywood Cemetery is listed second.

The nineteenth-century burial ground is the second-most-visited cemetery in the nation, behind only Arlington National. Its 135 riverfront acres—dotted with ancient tulip poplars, bald cypresses, and black gum trees—are home to the grave sites of two presidents and thousands of Confederate soldiers.
