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.

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.

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.

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.

Joe Lynch and Becca Howard are the hosts of ⁩ A Couple Of Old Fashioneds, a filmed movie podcast where they surprise each other with double features and talk through their reactions and analysis of the films.

They join us in the Crypt for a crossover episode about how their show started, discovering movies together, and why introducing someone to a film they’ve never seen is exciting.

We talk film bros vs real movie fans, screenwriting, film school, fan fiction, and learning by watching movies.

Joe and Becca also break down working together on Suitable Flesh, low-budget filmmaking, bad crews, editing, and staying sane in the industry. We also get into Vegas, dive bars, Joe Bob’s Jamboree, pitching projects, anxiety, and how the novelty of Hollywood eventually wears off.
