HALLOWEEN TOUR AT OAKLAND CEMETERY: To keep from awakening this tomb’s brain-eating zombie, please turn your cell phones to vibrate.

Unless you’re a security guard, a trespasser, or dead, Oakland Cemetery is usually off-limits to you at night. Last weekend, however, the cemetery gatekeepers welcomed visitors who paid up to $15 for spooky, Halloween-themed, nighttime tours of Oakland’s graves and mausolea (which is a real word, by the way). Tours were scheduled to start between 7 and 1o p.m, but turnout was so high both nights the cemetery was turning people away by 8:45.
