It’s strange to realize there will be no more books or stories of any of her series, particularly the Vampire Chronicles. I have read the vampire series since middle school and I’m 42 years old. The world she created is unlike any other. Even when you consider masterpieces like Lord of the Rings, there is hardly a comparison. The breadth of work, the amount of years the books were released, I have few memories of not being immersed in the fantasy she created. She was a genius and a legend.
I'm saddened by her passing. The nation lost a great writer. She earned her spot up there with legends like Mark Twain and Washington Irving. I wish she had lived long enough to continue at least one of her series such as the Mayfair Witches or the Vampire Chronicles. The former series will have its second season on Netflix very soon.
Speaking as a fan of the Vampire Chronicles, thanks very much for this local documentary on Anne Rice. Her books are quite captivating, partially because she had such a talent for interweaving the New Orleans environment into the dialog. Too bad she did not complete her plan for Cafe Lestat in the French Quarter; it would have achieved cult status by now!
Thank you for mentioning the Anne Rice Vampire ball. It’s the original New Orleans vampire ball. It’s also the only event of its kind Anne hosted herself at times, attended, and gave her blessing to.
She was such a generous person. I took her picture at the Orpheus ball. I sent her two copies of the photographs. She graciously signed both copies and sent them back to me. When I didn’t make the lottery for her book signing at comic con, I explained it to her. She ask which books I wanted signed…she actually signed two yard copies of her books and sent them to m. I cherish them.

I am still saddened that I never got a chance to meet her. She always will be one of my all time favorite writers. I've sold old books to make room for more but I still have every Anne Rice book that I bought including the entire Vampire Chronicles and Lives of the Mayfair Witches.
In 92 I attended a party at her house in the Garden District that she threw for the literary festival - great NOLA restaurants had set up food stands in the massive garden and jazz bands playing. It was the best party I've ever been to in my life. And the house was magnificent, although spooky as I'd recently read The Witching Hour, and that house was the setting.
Years ago we were looking at her big house in the Garden District! she and Spouse exited van! She sent in and he told me to wait at gate! He cam out with autographed copies! The he told us to be safe, city is dangerous right. Now! Watch Out! Very kind Man!

I worked in television in the 90's and we filmed some of the scenes of a failed Anne Rice series (Rag & Bone) in Lafayette Cemetery. The highlight was the night that she came to visit the set. I'd almost swear she glowed during that visit. Also enjoyed working out of St. Elizabeth's and seeing some of her husband's art on the walls.
@@TheCantolope I never saw it, although I've heard that it was aired as a made for tv movie, but haven't been able to find more than a clip or two on UA-cam. The premise was a New Orleans cop (Dean Cain) that partnered up with the ghost of a 50's cop (Robert Patrick) to solve cases.
Anne Rice was such a beautiful writer. Amazing talent. I love her books and fell in love with a city I’d never seen just by reading them. Love your videos. Hope to soon make my dream come true and visit you in person. Save a space for me on one of your lovely tours.
Anne Rice was the reason I came to New Orleans for the first time back in 1999. My brother and I drove down from New York City. I've been back many times since, most recently this past April for French Quarter fest. She's an amazing author who came from an amazing city. I would say anyone out there with even a passing interest in her writing or her city should dive in and experience them.
Me three! Except it was a few years after that. I know I visited twice before Katrina, and twice afterwards. I'm feeling that familiar tug to go again because I'm rereading The Witching Hour. Don't know when I'll make it down again, but I hope I do. I love the architecture.
Same for me. I didn't have much interest in the city until I read the entire Vampire Chronicles and Lives of the Mayfair Witches. Those are still my all time favorite book series.
@@jeric0777 Great news: the second season of Lives of the Mayfair Witches got the green light. It's coming to Netflix in a week or two!! I hear Alexandra Daddario will definitely play Rowan Mayfair again. Am glad that nobody is being replaced. I hate it when that happens.
I have never smashed the like button so fast. As an avid Anne Rice fan, and she and her writing being one of the main reasons for visiting NOLA next year, I have been searching for info about this topic - Rice's New Orleans. And a video coming from one of my fav UA-cam channels! I have never been so grateful and excited! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

Very cool video. When Anne lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was the first person to ever give her a dozen dead roses. She was such a cool person.

She used to go to Community coffee across from the A&P on magazine st every morning when I was in High School. She was polite and always gave an autograph when asked. For the most part it was a local spot so people were respectful of her privacy and gave her space. Trent Rezner was there a lot too, but he was the polar opposite.
Thank you 🖤🦇🖤Love Anne Rice🖤🦇🖤 I met her in Sacramento in 1994 at Tower Records Books. She asked if I had read Mayfair Witches , since my name was Angelique and I said yes I Loved it
Anne's cousin Billy Murphy who led the tours said that Garden District folks didn't like Anne because she worked for her money rather than having inherited it. They clearly missed the point that all old money was new money at one point. It also spends the same.
I still possess my original copy of Interview with the Vampire in the gold jacket. Anne Rice elevated the Vampire genre to that of elegant and even introspective. Great tour!

I’m terrible at keeping at all current on things & never realized they are coming out with a Mayfair Witches series. That was my favorite. I hope they do it justice. Also I love love New Orleans but haven’t been back in quite a few years. Such a wonderful beautiful place.
As many times as I have visited these locations, I am always filled with a sense of awe and emotion. I was lucky enough t to attend the Anne Rice vampire ball with her in attendance and I cried when you mentioned what they will do for her this year. ❤️

Wonderfully done. I don't know how you spew all those facts without cue cards lol. I can barely get a sentence together these days. "Interview" is the only book other than "The Exorcist" that, upon publication, I started reading it and I literally read it without putting it down, it was that enthralling. Oddly, I never had any interest in reading any of her other works because " Interview" was so perfect to me that I didn't want to possibly spoil it's effect on me. Anyway, Andrew.. you are so so good at what you do and, please forgive me, so darn adorable.

I genuinely love the vampire cafe and the boutique- i went to go see the cure in New Orleans and i ended up spending around an hour in there talking to the person working there about the concert, goth culture, and vampire culture/history. The cafe was also really nice- i highly recommend all of the teas and the doberge cake, lamb meatballs, shrimp, and avocado toast! We also went to the tea bar they opened recently to meet a psychic and got our tarot cards and tea leaves read there. I highly recommend
She still has a mark in my mind and heart tbh , I've read many of her stories and find them treasures to own and collect . No other writer in my eyes can describe so nimbly the details needed to create such great work . May her name be as immortal as the heroes of her stories .

Andrew is the best! Now that you mentioned it, my first time in New Orleans was in 1989 and I don’t remember vampires, just Voodoo. In the mid 1990s was when I remembered seeing vampires in the French Quarter. Who knows what was going on around those times, I was young and only there to party. It wasn’t till I was older that I started to appreciate New Orleans for its history! Now even those live oak trees fascinate me. The architecture and the history are like nothing else in the world. Thank you Andrew for another video. I’ve come a long way from throwing down with the best of them, carrying on and acting ugly at Rawhide2010! Lol
Thanks again for watching Todd! We are glad your enjoyed it. If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
I grew up here and whilst the businesses didn't market it like they do now, the goth kids with fangs could ALWAYS be found at the clover grill on bourbon st and on hippie hill in Jackson Square. Not sure if that counts but it has always been a city that embraced the fringe of society and welcomed them .
Now it's my goal to get a vampire rubber duckie in New Orleans. It's amazing that even in Alternate Universes (such as Vampire Universe), New Orleans is still a melting pot of this and that.
I love New Orleans. The first time I went there was for a book launch party/ball (for a different author) with no expectation other than being crowded and loud, but touring the city and hearing all the stories, and just the old world vibe that NOLA gives off made me fall in love with the city. Went back several more times after that.
🦇🌹This walking tour with your insightful and informative commentary was one of the best videos related to Anne Rice I've ever seen ! Excellent job !!! Thank You so very much for making it. Anne Rice's amazing and passionate life is a lesson for us all and you have helped keep her memory alive.

Andrew, thank you so much for doing this today. Anne is the singular most influential person in my life, and today has been a chaos of missing her and still mourning but desperately wanting to celebrate her. She’s the reason that I love New Orleans. She made me fall in love with it nearly 30 years ago, and I am so grateful to you for taking the time to do this. I will comment properly after watching it. Just… thank you. 🖤

Thank you for this. I had the pleasure of visiting NOLA in 2000 & absolutely fell in love with the city. My husband was there for a work conference & I just spent my days walking around & talking with the local shop owners, Street Artists & street people. Everyone was very friendly & since it was the end of Oct the spooky vibe was definitely there even though we left before Halloween. The tours we took were amazing & Anne Rice still had a strong presence there ( I think we were taken to an actual vampire bar briefly but I never found it again afterwards & cannot remember the name. I don't think the patrons were people in costume 🤫) I haven't been back post Katrina, too afraid it wouldn't be the same. That week I spent in NOLA is probably my favorite trip/vacation & stands out in my mind. We stayed at The Orleans in the French Quarter. The neighborhood felt so "Old World" compared to the average California suburban city/town. Was so heartbroken when Katrina happened.

Thanks, buddy. I enjoyed this very much. I lived in New Orleans for three horrible years as a seminarian at Notre Dame Seminary. I didn't like the city at all but hated the seminary; disgusting, and now I am a happy atheist. I will try to read some more of her books. The first one I read was The Witching Hour-loved it, but her "stuff" became too bizarre and sick for me. But, what a brilliant woman!
This was so wonderful! I almost shrieked when I saw this in my UA-cam feed. I’m such a huge fan of hers, I’ve read literally every book (yes including her spiritual memoir!) and loved the choice of locations! I’ll be back in New Orleans for Halloween weekend to attend the ball and memorial services the fan club is putting on. It’s bittersweet to be visiting after her passing, but it’s something I am so looking forward to. Thanks for posting this, your tours are always so well done!

This was great! Thank you for taking the time to give such a wonderful tour. As a Baton Rouge native, we love to visit New Orleans. My parents took us all the time and it was really safe. Not so much now so I primarily take my daughters down the streets in the day time.

I had a real nice conversation with her once on an amazon chat page having to do with paranormal subjects, I can't remember specifically. She was very interested in some experiences I had and how I felt about them. She was getting back into catholicism at the time. Very nice lady.

Wow! Great vid! I did the vampire thing in NO for Halloween back in the 90's. Even then the costuming was over the top! Sadly, I won't be there this year but friends will be, so I'll steer them your way. I loved, loved, loved the vampire books but I wish you would have given at least a nod to her early erotica novels. That's some smoky stuff...

I was in New Orleans in 2002 with my ex husband. It was so much fun to explore the spots I had read about in the Witching Hour as well as the Vampire Chronicles. I have a picture of myself standing outside the First St house, and I'll never forget how enchanted I was with New Orleans. I haven't been back since Hurricane Katrina, but I think it's time!

this was wonderful thanks for the education. loved anne rice.sUCH A loss to great literature when she passed away. I still have her books and I have re read them many times. this was such a wonderful video. thank you.
Oh man, I remember back in the height of the vampire culture in New Orleans there was this asshole “vampire” who forcefully bit a woman he didn’t know. Surprise surprise! She called the police. In a statement given at his arrest the “vampire” tried to excuse his behavior by saying that he was LARPing Vampire: The Masquerade! After that hit the news VtM’s punisher at the time, White Wolf, started putting a disclaimer in all their RPG source books that went something like this: “No, you’re not a (vampire/werewolf/Mage/Changeling)! This is a game! If you can’t tell the difference between fantasy and reality, put the book down.” It was at once both hilarious and frustrating to those of us in the RPG community.
Just wanted to say thank you for your amazing walking tours! They helped shaped our most recent trip to New Orleans…..we really enjoyed learning about the local history and culture, spending time in Bywaters, Treme and Garden District.

Watching videos on New Orleans for our up coming trip right after the New year and this one popped up and my wife wanted to watch it. We both have read all the books and even waited in line for 8 hours for her to sign some of our books. She is the reason I started reading books agin in the early 90's.

Ohhhh, the memories - you went everywhere I've been and talked about the things that drew me there. Of course I moved there after the movie came out. I loved the cool mystery and despair of the painted lady. I kinda miss it - the people I met and befriended - I do miss. I did get a chance to go to the Vampire's Ball at the Orphanage... Anyway, I did move there for vampire lore but stayed for the witches and voudou...
Andrew is a treasure! His tours are the most engaging for me. His interest in topics he talks about, is evident. I sure appreciate these videos! Bingeing before my trip to NOLA! Thank you so much!✨👏💕

I'm glad you included St-Alphonsus. The way Micheal Curry talked about it in The Witching Hour was great reading. There's a really interesting interlude about Storyville in The Witching Hour as well, with Julien visiting one of the brothels. I also like the way La Victoire plantation (Riverbend) was described when Marie-Claudette brought the Mayfair's from Saint-Domingue to Lousiana, it makes it seem like it was a real place (but even if it were real, in the book, it was swallowed up by the Mississippi, though the house on First Street apparently has murals of the plantation).

It’s strange to realize there will be no more books or stories of any of her series, particularly the Vampire Chronicles. I have read the vampire series since middle school and I’m 42 years old. The world she created is unlike any other. Even when you consider masterpieces like Lord of the Rings, there is hardly a comparison. The breadth of work, the amount of years the books were released, I have few memories of not being immersed in the fantasy she created. She was a genius and a legend.
Her son is on Goodreads you should check out his books.
Such remarkable artist
You would probably enjoy the wheel of time series by Robert Jordan Ms.Jenn
I'm saddened by her passing. The nation lost a great writer. She earned her spot up there with legends like Mark Twain and Washington Irving. I wish she had lived long enough to continue at least one of her series such as the Mayfair Witches or the Vampire Chronicles. The former series will have its second season on Netflix very soon.
Speaking as a fan of the Vampire Chronicles, thanks very much for this local documentary on Anne Rice. Her books are quite captivating, partially because she had such a talent for interweaving the New Orleans environment into the dialog. Too bad she did not complete her plan for Cafe Lestat in the French Quarter; it would have achieved cult status by now!
Thanks again for watching. We are glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for mentioning the Anne Rice Vampire ball. It’s the original New Orleans vampire ball. It’s also the only event of its kind Anne hosted herself at times, attended, and gave her blessing to.
She was such a generous person. I took her picture at the Orpheus ball. I sent her two copies of the photographs. She graciously signed both copies and sent them back to me. When I didn’t make the lottery for her book signing at comic con, I explained it to her. She ask which books I wanted signed…she actually signed two yard copies of her books and sent them to m. I cherish them.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful memories of Anne with us. If you haven't already done so, hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans ua-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html.There is more where this came from.
I love her- she was a goddess!
I am still saddened that I never got a chance to meet her. She always will be one of my all time favorite writers. I've sold old books to make room for more but I still have every Anne Rice book that I bought including the entire Vampire Chronicles and Lives of the Mayfair Witches.
In 92 I attended a party at her house in the Garden District that she threw for the literary festival - great NOLA restaurants had set up food stands in the massive garden and jazz bands playing. It was the best party I've ever been to in my life. And the house was magnificent, although spooky as I'd recently read The Witching Hour, and that house was the setting.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Years ago we were looking at her big house in the Garden District! she and Spouse exited van! She sent in and he told me to wait at gate! He cam out with autographed copies! The he told us to be safe, city is dangerous right. Now! Watch Out! Very kind Man!

I worked in television in the 90's and we filmed some of the scenes of a failed Anne Rice series (Rag & Bone) in Lafayette Cemetery. The highlight was the night that she came to visit the set. I'd almost swear she glowed during that visit. Also enjoyed working out of St. Elizabeth's and seeing some of her husband's art on the walls.
Id love to hear more about this? What was it about? Did it air?
@@TheCantolope I never saw it, although I've heard that it was aired as a made for tv movie, but haven't been able to find more than a clip or two on UA-cam. The premise was a New Orleans cop (Dean Cain) that partnered up with the ghost of a 50's cop (Robert Patrick) to solve cases.
Anne Rice was such a beautiful writer. Amazing talent. I love her books and fell in love with a city I’d never seen just by reading them. Love your videos. Hope to soon make my dream come true and visit you in person. Save a space for me on one of your lovely tours.
@@TheCantolope hola la pelicula es un piloto se suponia que harian una serie pero se cancelo la encontre en yts y la descarge
She was my favorite author!! Her early works were magnificent!!! RIP beautiful Anne❤️
Indeed, her works were magnificent. RIP Anne!
Anne Rice was the reason I came to New Orleans for the first time back in 1999. My brother and I drove down from New York City. I've been back many times since, most recently this past April for French Quarter fest. She's an amazing author who came from an amazing city. I would say anyone out there with even a passing interest in her writing or her city should dive in and experience them.
Me too. I went there in 1999 for the first time, largely because of The Feast of All Saints and The Witching Hour/Lasher.
Me three! Except it was a few years after that. I know I visited twice before Katrina, and twice afterwards. I'm feeling that familiar tug to go again because I'm rereading The Witching Hour. Don't know when I'll make it down again, but I hope I do. I love the architecture.
Same for me. I didn't have much interest in the city until I read the entire Vampire Chronicles and Lives of the Mayfair Witches. Those are still my all time favorite book series.
@@jeric0777 Great news: the second season of Lives of the Mayfair Witches got the green light. It's coming to Netflix in a week or two!! I hear Alexandra Daddario will definitely play Rowan Mayfair again. Am glad that nobody is being replaced. I hate it when that happens.
Andrew, aside from ALL you're talents, knowledge and personality, YOU ARE SO INCREDIBLY ADORABLE. Such a handsome man!!
I have never smashed the like button so fast. As an avid Anne Rice fan, and she and her writing being one of the main reasons for visiting NOLA next year, I have been searching for info about this topic - Rice's New Orleans. And a video coming from one of my fav UA-cam channels! I have never been so grateful and excited! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad that you enjoyed the video V L. Also, we are happy that you found the video informative. If you haven't already done so, hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans ua-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html.There is more where this came from.
Same - I mashed that "Like" button with such voracity, I think I may have sprained my finger!
Huge fan of her work. She left an immeasurable impact on literature. Loving the new television adaptation of IWTV.
Very cool video. When Anne lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was the first person to ever give her a dozen dead roses. She was such a cool person.

She used to go to Community coffee across from the A&P on magazine st every morning when I was in High School. She was polite and always gave an autograph when asked. For the most part it was a local spot so people were respectful of her privacy and gave her space. Trent Rezner was there a lot too, but he was the polar opposite.
Thanks for watching our video and sharing your wonderful memories with us Hillary.
Thank you 🖤🦇🖤Love Anne Rice🖤🦇🖤 I met her in Sacramento in 1994 at Tower Records Books. She asked if I had read Mayfair Witches , since my name was Angelique and I said yes I Loved it
Thanks for watching our video and sharing your experience with us Angelique.
Dark Shadows?
Anne's cousin Billy Murphy who led the tours said that Garden District folks didn't like Anne because she worked for her money rather than having inherited it. They clearly missed the point that all old money was new money at one point. It also spends the same.
It's not like that really anymore. I moved from New Orleans over the summer and much of it, is getting gentrified. Plenty of new money moving in.
I still possess my original copy of Interview with the Vampire in the gold jacket.
Anne Rice elevated the Vampire genre to that of elegant and even introspective.
Great tour!

I’m terrible at keeping at all current on things & never realized they are coming out with a Mayfair Witches series. That was my favorite. I hope they do it justice. Also I love love New Orleans but haven’t been back in quite a few years. Such a wonderful beautiful place.
As many times as I have visited these locations, I am always filled with a sense of awe and emotion. I was lucky enough t to attend the Anne Rice vampire ball with her in attendance and I cried when you mentioned what they will do for her this year. ❤️
I also took a free tours by foot in New Orleans several years ago and it was amazing and memorable!! I love that these tours are on UA-cam now too!

What a wonderful video and just in time for Annes 81st birthday
Glad you enjoyed it.
Wonderfully done. I don't know how you spew all those facts without cue cards lol. I can barely get a sentence together these days. "Interview" is the only book other than "The Exorcist" that, upon publication, I started reading it and I literally read it without putting it down, it was that enthralling. Oddly, I never had any interest in reading any of her other works because " Interview" was so perfect to me that I didn't want to possibly spoil it's effect on me. Anyway, Andrew.. you are so so good at what you do and, please forgive me, so darn adorable.

I genuinely love the vampire cafe and the boutique- i went to go see the cure in New Orleans and i ended up spending around an hour in there talking to the person working there about the concert, goth culture, and vampire culture/history. The cafe was also really nice- i highly recommend all of the teas and the doberge cake, lamb meatballs, shrimp, and avocado toast! We also went to the tea bar they opened recently to meet a psychic and got our tarot cards and tea leaves read there. I highly recommend
Thanks for sharing your experience Ray.
She still has a mark in my mind and heart tbh , I've read many of her stories and find them treasures to own and collect . No other writer in my eyes can describe so nimbly the details needed to create such great work . May her name be as immortal as the heroes of her stories .
May she rest in peace.
Thanks Andrew, a great tribute to Lady Anne 。 And I must say you look fantastic in a waistcoat 。
Thanks for the compliments!
Thank you.! Huge fan of Anne Rice., I visited NOLA last year can’t wait to go again.! Always watch these videos to help me around the city.

Andrew is the best! Now that you mentioned it, my first time in New Orleans was in 1989 and I don’t remember vampires, just Voodoo. In the mid 1990s was when I remembered seeing vampires in the French Quarter. Who knows what was going on around those times, I was young and only there to party. It wasn’t till I was older that I started to appreciate New Orleans for its history! Now even those live oak trees fascinate me. The architecture and the history are like nothing else in the world. Thank you Andrew for another video. I’ve come a long way from throwing down with the best of them, carrying on and acting ugly at Rawhide2010! Lol
Thanks again for watching Todd! We are glad your enjoyed it. If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
I grew up here and whilst the businesses didn't market it like they do now, the goth kids with fangs could ALWAYS be found at the clover grill on bourbon st and on hippie hill in Jackson Square.
Not sure if that counts but it has always been a city that embraced the fringe of society and welcomed them .
@@HillaryMarek Hippy Hill?
I've been an Anne Rice fan for many years. You did an excellent job here. She will always be a great author. RIP Anne
Thanks for watching and liking our video Mikelle. She will always have a special place in our hearts.
Now it's my goal to get a vampire rubber duckie in New Orleans. It's amazing that even in Alternate Universes (such as Vampire Universe), New Orleans is still a melting pot of this and that.
I love New Orleans. The first time I went there was for a book launch party/ball (for a different author) with no expectation other than being crowded and loud, but touring the city and hearing all the stories, and just the old world vibe that NOLA gives off made me fall in love with the city. Went back several more times after that.
Andrew - you are such a good, engaging story teller...Perhaps you should write a book ?
Fantastic! Andrew does a wonderful job - if you’re in the NOLA area I encourage you to take a private tour with him !
Thanks again for watching Jason. We really appreciate recommending us for the tours.
🦇🌹This walking tour with your insightful and informative commentary was one of the best videos related to Anne Rice I've ever seen !
Excellent job !!! Thank You so very much for making it.
Anne Rice's amazing and passionate life is a lesson for us all and you have helped keep her memory alive.

Andrew, thank you so much for doing this today. Anne is the singular most influential person in my life, and today has been a chaos of missing her and still mourning but desperately wanting to celebrate her. She’s the reason that I love New Orleans. She made me fall in love with it nearly 30 years ago, and I am so grateful to you for taking the time to do this. I will comment properly after watching it. Just… thank you. 🖤

Thank you for this. I had the pleasure of visiting NOLA in 2000 & absolutely fell in love with the city. My husband was there for a work conference & I just spent my days walking around & talking with the local shop owners, Street Artists & street people. Everyone was very friendly & since it was the end of Oct the spooky vibe was definitely there even though we left before Halloween. The tours we took were amazing & Anne Rice still had a strong presence there ( I think we were taken to an actual vampire bar briefly but I never found it again afterwards & cannot remember the name. I don't think the patrons were people in costume 🤫) I haven't been back post Katrina, too afraid it wouldn't be the same. That week I spent in NOLA is probably my favorite trip/vacation & stands out in my mind. We stayed at The Orleans in the French Quarter. The neighborhood felt so "Old World" compared to the average California suburban city/town. Was so heartbroken when Katrina happened.

Thanks, buddy. I enjoyed this very much. I lived in New Orleans for three horrible years as a seminarian at Notre Dame Seminary. I didn't like the city at all but hated the seminary; disgusting, and now I am a happy atheist. I will try to read some more of her books. The first one I read was The Witching Hour-loved it, but her "stuff" became too bizarre and sick for me. But, what a brilliant woman!
This was so wonderful! I almost shrieked when I saw this in my UA-cam feed. I’m such a huge fan of hers, I’ve read literally every book (yes including her spiritual memoir!) and loved the choice of locations!
I’ll be back in New Orleans for Halloween weekend to attend the ball and memorial services the fan club is putting on. It’s bittersweet to be visiting after her passing, but it’s something I am so looking forward to. Thanks for posting this, your tours are always so well done!
Thanks again for watching Jared! We are glad that you found some value in our videos. If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.

I've never seen or read Interview, but I love her The Witching Hour series. Cool episode on her life!

I had a real nice conversation with her once on an amazon chat page having to do with paranormal subjects, I can't remember specifically. She was very interested in some experiences I had and how I felt about them. She was getting back into catholicism at the time. Very nice lady.

I was in New Orleans 3 weeks ago.I also was a fan of Amne Rice !
Wow! Great vid! I did the vampire thing in NO for Halloween back in the 90's. Even then the costuming was over the top! Sadly, I won't be there this year but friends will be, so I'll steer them your way. I loved, loved, loved the vampire books but I wish you would have given at least a nod to her early erotica novels. That's some smoky stuff...

I was in New Orleans in 2002 with my ex husband. It was so much fun to explore the spots I had read about in the Witching Hour as well as the Vampire Chronicles. I have a picture of myself standing outside the First St house, and I'll never forget how enchanted I was with New Orleans. I haven't been back since Hurricane Katrina, but I think it's time!

this was wonderful thanks for the education. loved anne rice.sUCH A loss to great literature when she passed away. I still have her books and I have re read them many times. this was such a wonderful video. thank you.
Oh man, I remember back in the height of the vampire culture in New Orleans there was this asshole “vampire” who forcefully bit a woman he didn’t know. Surprise surprise! She called the police. In a statement given at his arrest the “vampire” tried to excuse his behavior by saying that he was LARPing Vampire: The Masquerade!
After that hit the news VtM’s punisher at the time, White Wolf, started putting a disclaimer in all their RPG source books that went something like this:
“No, you’re not a (vampire/werewolf/Mage/Changeling)! This is a game! If you can’t tell the difference between fantasy and reality, put the book down.”
It was at once both hilarious and frustrating to those of us in the RPG community.
Just wanted to say thank you for your amazing walking tours! They helped shaped our most recent trip to New Orleans…..we really enjoyed learning about the local history and culture, spending time in Bywaters, Treme and Garden District.

Own Everything she published. I spoke to her once. It was one of the highlights of my year. Lol
I recently discovered Free Tours By Foot - New Orleans after watching FTBF London. Andrew and his colleagues do an amazing job with every video, and I have to say that I'm addicted and have been binge watching each video. Andrew clearly does his research on every tour and offers more information than any other tour guide who I have ever watched.
Wonderful historical tour! Thank you!

I'm in New Orleans right now for the very first time! I was inspired to go and visit many of the locations described in Interview with the Vampire and The Witching Hour (my two favorites) as a way to pay my respects to Anne, who impacted my life profoundly. Thank you for putting this together!

Was there 3 years ago. Such a wonderful experience
Thanks for watching. Glad that you enjoyed your stay here.
Watching videos on New Orleans for our up coming trip right after the New year and this one popped up and my wife wanted to watch it. We both have read all the books and even waited in line for 8 hours for her to sign some of our books. She is the reason I started reading books agin in the early 90's. Thank you for th is video and all the others you have here for do's don'ts and places to see and things to do. We will be contacting you closer to our trip to book a tour!

@@FreeToursbyFootHQ We definitely will. We aren’t strangers to New Orleans. Just been awhile since we have been there. But will look at the tours this weekend and decide from there.

Ohhhh, the memories - you went everywhere I've been and talked about the things that drew me there. Of course I moved there after the movie came out. I loved the cool mystery and despair of the painted lady. I kinda miss it - the people I met and befriended - I do miss. I did get a chance to go to the Vampire's Ball at the Orphanage... Anyway, I did move there for vampire lore but stayed for the witches and voudou...
Andrew is a treasure! His tours are the most engaging for me. His interest in topics he talks about, is evident. I sure appreciate these videos! Bingeing before my trip to NOLA! Thank you so much!✨👏💕
Thanks again for watching Kate. Glad you enjoyed watching it!
Although “Interview with a Vampire” was my favorite, “ The Mummy” was a close second. Even with the technical difficulties of this video I enjoyed it quite a bit. Will definitely take a tour next trip that way!
Glad that you enjoyed the video Erin. We will take care of the quality from the next videos. If you haven't already done so, hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans ua-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html.There is more where this came from.

i have read just about all of Anne Rice's books, and I re-read them from time to time, when my soul longs for New Orleans (as it so often does). Thank you Andrew, these tours are so informative and offer me a glimpse of my beloved New Orleans.
Thanks for sharing Lori!
Excellent! Very informative and fascinating. Andrew must be the best tour guide in New Orleans.

I'm glad you included St-Alphonsus. The way Micheal Curry talked about it in The Witching Hour was great reading. There's a really interesting interlude about Storyville in The Witching Hour as well, with Julien visiting one of the brothels. I also like the way La Victoire plantation (Riverbend) was described when Marie-Claudette brought the Mayfair's from Saint-Domingue to Lousiana, it makes it seem like it was a real place (but even if it were real, in the book, it was swallowed up by the Mississippi, though the house on First Street apparently has murals of the plantation).
Thank you for your virtual tour.
