@grimmlifecollective is a channel that combines many elements of other successful U.S. travel vlog channels, with a macabre slant geared towards the goth subculture (or at least the more "mainstream" parts of it).

Do you enjoy visiting grave sites, haunts, dark rides at theme parks, places where famous people died, filming locations of horror movies, and horror movies in general? Then this channel is for you. It exploded on the scene, clearly filling the void for people who wish every day was Halloween.

Some of the locations are well-worn, already covered by many other vloggers (such as the ubiquitous grave markers/ filming location videos), but the Grimm Life Collective gives them their unique spin. Michael's narration is great (Jessica is heard less often). He is easy to listen to even if you're not into the whole goth thing. Nothing of this feels brooding and downtrodden; in spite of the subject matter, many videos are quite upbeat and high energy.

Plus, they succeeded within the span of just a few short months to build an amazing community. Fans get together for virtual horror movie nights and the like.

Yes, it's not truly "goth" by many people's standards. It all feels a bit more outward than inward, with Disney and Universal Studios theme park visits around Halloween, shopping trips for garish "Made in China" Halloween merchandise, etc. But that in itself can be interesting - how capitalism has infiltrated every corner of our society, even groups of people who try to set themselves apart from the mainstream.

In the end, they are a very cool and likeable couple, putting in the miles to take their viewers to many different states and explore hundreds of locations. So check out their channel... you might enjoy it a lot, even if black is not your favorite color!
