#25 - Grimmlife Collective Returns (Michael Kolence & Jessica Kolence)
<p>Grimmlife Collective is a horror and true-crime travel channel hosted by Michael and Jessica Kolence, known for exploring filming locations, cemeteries, abandoned sites, and dark history locations across the world. Their work blends on-location storytelling, horror fandom, and documentary-style deep dives into the strange and macabre.</p><p><br></p><p>From traveling Europe and Disney cruises to abandoned videos, fear of flying, prophetic dreams, and night terrors. We talk Dark Universe, react to the Scream 7 release and trailer, get into horror sequels and fan theories, and why trailers are ruining movies. </p><p><br></p><p>We get into the real exorcism of Anneliese Michel, listening to the tapes, covering Ted Bundy, being contacted by victims of cold cases, and why we’re fascinated with the morbid in the first place.</p><p><br></p><p>Michael and Jessica open up about convention politics, celebrities who don’t care, the horror industry being highly competitive and cliquish, navigating social media hate, insecurities on camera, and why they stopped daily vlogs. We also get into aliens, Bigfoot, Area 51, conspiracy theories, world-ending scenarios, and the strange psychology behind negativity in the YouTube community.</p><p><br></p><p>—</p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe: youtube.com/@TalksFromTheCrypt</p><p><br></p><p>Follow On Social Media –</p><p><br></p><p>Talks From The Crypt: </p><p>https://instagram.com/talksfromthecrypt</p><p>https://talksfromthecrypt.com </p><p><br></p><p>Grimmlife Collective: </p><p>https://instagram.com/grimmlifecollective</p><p>https://grimmlifecollective.com </p><p><br></p><p>Jessica Kolence: </p><p>https://instagram.com/witchydame</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/BabyGhoulAsmr</p><p><br></p><p>—</p><p><br></p><p>00:00:00 – Intro</p><p>00:00:57 – Traveling the World: Europe, Disney Cruises, Abandoned Videos, Living Life Through A Lens</p><p>00:06:21 – Dark Universe, Movie Trailers, Bone Temple, Scream 7 Teaser Reaction, Scream Fan Theories, Sequels and Remakes</p><p>00:16:29 – Vegas and LA Tear Everything Down, Embracing History, Fear of Flying, Prophetic Dreams, and Night Terrors</p><p>00:26:59 – Conventions/Signings, Celebrities That Don't Care and Bad Experiences With Them, Being In a Bad Mood While Signing</p><p>00:37:00 – Horror Fans Are Great, But the Horror Industry is HIGHLY Politicized and Competitive.
