It makes me sad everytime artists like Poe are mentioned because they didn't get to be alive to see how much people appreciated their work.😢
Poe definitely got recognition while he was alive.
@@TristanandIsolt yeah but that recognition was not enough to get him out of poverty
As a kid, the Vincent Price/Roger Corman Poe film series is what got me into Poe's literary works. Those films perpetuated a mood and atmosphere that has never been duplicated. They impeccably encapsulated and thereby projected the tangiblity of what the books invoked. Tales of Terror, The Fall of the House of Usher and the Pit and the Pendulum are my favorites. Read the books and watch the films----they're timeless.
*Superb* video. Thank you for doing what you do.
Thank you for watching and sharing that. Stay tuned...Stay Scared.
Nice to see you in my backyard... The Poe house and grave are special around this time of year and closer to Halloween. I love people watching around the grave, and the Poe Toaster was a sight to behold.
Holy crap, the last time I've been to Poe's house it was a bare field in front of his home, now it looks like some apartments. Guess it's been a while. Hopefully the house stands for years to come... Glad you enjoy Baltimore so much. There's a lot of bad here but quite a bit of good too... Hope you caught a game at The Yard while you were here...
@@LukeDodge916it's weird that his official museum is in Richmond. It should be be near where he's buried.
You two absolutely ROCK!! The wife and I love your videos!!!
Thank you both for watching 🦇
always a treat!! See you next time...
The first time I visited the church and burying ground it was a chilly , damp and overcast November day . I took my time walking through the cemetery and although I was the only visitor there I did not feel alone . Your channel Rocks !! , keep up the great work and stay safe out there .
Bean's response to the apple: "We gotta keep our ghosts healthy!" 🤣👻
Lolololol, this just made my day. So darn cute
Hi
How r you
You guys better get outta there before the Edgar Allen Poe Poe shows up.
Quoth the raven
But not before having a glass of amontillado.
My paternal grandfather, who sadly passed when I was a baby so I didn't know him, was originally from Mississippi but was fascinated by Baltimore, and I have his notebooks full of sketches of every tiny element of the town, such as gaslamps, manhole covers, gas mains, porches, fences, all kinds of things. He and his parents are buried in Baltimore. Wish I could visit them. Coincidentally my grandfather passed in a similar way to Poe, minus the drinking. Love your work & passion for your subjects.
Sooood did he have sketches of Poes grave??
@@trawlins396 Lol, no, ironically there was nothing about tombstones.
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.
Edgar Allan Poe
So hauntingly beautiful and poignant.
You did an excellent job showing and talking about Maryland poe stops
Man you covered it all not many people know about the bar, but actually a few blocks from there ( The bar ) on Pratt St. Is where he collapsed they have a plaque there. Also many movies and shows were filmed in that area.
Excellent Poe Video, Michael!!
So glad you highlighted the tavern he visited, & street he collapsed upon....
Thank You & Your Number One
Ghoul/Girl Jessica!!
Cheers,
My Friends
Appreciate the walk around in the churchyard. It looks pretty much the same as when I visited in April 1980. And his home was closed that day too.
Seeing this, and hearing your kind words about our city is very bittersweet. Thanks for the love, and video. Fun fact... (You probably already know this) Homicide was filmed on Thames street.
Started learning about Edgar Allan Poe back in university, he is such an incredible poet so talented! Something about his writings is so unique his words stick with you forever I hope to visit and pay my respects to such an incredible person!🖤
You deserve a lot more subscribers! Great content.
Thank you so much. However many subscribers we get...it’s all good. We just make the best videos we can and are meeting some awesome people. Thank you. Stay tuned...Stay Scared.
Thanks for not only being Grimm and Macabre but also providing great historical content. 👍🔥
Its sad he didn't get the recognition (or money) he deserved while still living. At least he has a beautiful burial ground.
This place is so dope, its so beautiful; I used to work downtown and on breaks would go to the site to just chill and get away for a minute
Legends say that there use to be a figure who'd lay Red roses on his grave.
No offense intended, but there are no such legends because the "Poe toaster" was an established, documented fact. 🐧

Yes Baltimore has a crazy winter some years but it is massively historical here
I am a born and raised Baltimorom! It is a great city. Of course bad areas but for the most part it is awesome!
I’m such a huge Poe Fan! I loved the video!
Thank you for this video! Very well thought out and very informative! Ive been to Baltimore so many times, and I had no clue about this
Another great video Grimm! These are definitely my favorite videos.
Great video! And as a Baltimore native, thank you for showing a cooler aspect of the city than what the news often portrays.. There is a beautiful statue of Poe not far from Penn Station and University of Baltimore
Love the videos you both put out. They are unique and different than other vlogs. Keep up the good work.
Your channel is great man, I really enjoy them especially the "Dead" movie episodes. Keep them coming and thank you!
Poe,the Greatest of Horror,Macabre,Suspense novelists.
His sad life are the hard facts which inspired His tragic writings.🥀
Thank you so much for the info! I’ll be visiting his grave in October and cannot wait... Love your channel. Keep the macabre coming!
So awesome..💀
Been so excited about this video! This is one of my most favorite places. I am with you guys! I wouldn't mind living there. The history alone is amazing! Did you guys notice that some of the founding fathers of the US were buried in the cemetery? In October they are doing special Poe readings inside the Catacombs underneath Westminster during his death weekend!! Was an awesome video!! Poe is my obsession 🖤🖤🖤
Great video you and Jessica rock. Kept this vidsos coming.
What a great video guys! My favorite author is Edgar Allan Poe and to watch this video was incredible! Love your work
Another great video!!!
Beautiful presentation, lovely grave and yard🐾🐈⬛🦇
My hometown!! I have a portrait of Edgar
A Poe on my inner forearm & a half sleeve dedicated to him & his works .excellent video as always 💀
I'm from Baltimore and it feels great hearing you say that you love the city enough to move here
What a great video!! thank you for sharing your experience!
I love to see your videos. The energy and passion that you put in them. Good job and please put more!
My favorite. I memorized a few of his poems in school. Very interesting. Thx guys! 👍🏻❤️
So I know this is a year old but I am from Baltimore and I'm an electrician. And I did all the restorations on the church you were showing. Underneath the church are the catacombs no one's allowed down there but I had to run a bunch of EMT which is electrical conduit through the basement and the catacombs. Literally crawling over coffins or concrete slabs that contain the dead bodies the run conduits throughout the basement and catacombs. Unfortunately I don't have any ghost tales to tell it was very normal I worked there for 8 hours a day for over 6 months I guess the only thing scary happened was my stupid coworkers trying to scare me as I would work in the catacombs LOL but it was definitely interesting working in the Edgar Allan Poe cemetery that's all I have. I'm also a musician and I play at the horse you came on all the time.
thats very interesting! Are there grave markers down in the catacombs? Like the names of the people buried? Did you get any photos?
You always have great videos.
I used to attend the Poe birthday weekend every year in January. I'm not sure if it's still on going, but if you have an interest in Poe and his work there's nothing better. Re-enactors, dramatic readings, relics and memorabilia from the museum and a midnight graveside toast. I haven't gone in years, but it was always awesome.
I’ve been to one and got to see John Astin read Poe.
Thanks for sharing
Awesome video. Poe is such an interesting person with interesting stories.
I was just there last Thursday for work, very cool. Lets not forget he also lived in Philly and wrote the Raven.
How could anyone forget he wrote The Raven??? Be serious! That was his most famous poem.
He lived in a lot of places.
Great channel .... glad I subbed!
Thank you guys love your videos and I was just reading this poem from EDGAR ALLAN POE
I am glad you guys are not in Florida right now the storm is hitting very hard down there everywhere. Thank you for such great information.
3 hours south in Richmond va we have the poe museum, and Hollywood cemetery. Look up the church hill tunnel collapse, and Mr. Poole buried in Hollywood cemetery and the Richmond vampire. Worthy story and trip!
I had no idea Richmond was only 3hrs south of Baltimore. That's pretty cool.
I absolutely love your channel 👻
I visited the church/grave in January 2010 and saw Jeffrey Combs perform a one-man show! Amazing!
I've been to the Poe museum in Richmond VA,what I need to do is get to Providence RI and see Lovecraft's grave since he's the reason I started writing books (now I just need to get noticed)
Lovecraft inspired me as well.
Stephen King said in order to be a writer you have to be a reader first and foremost.
It does in fact get more grim than Edgar Allan Poe. Virginia Poe's body was interred in the mausoleum of friends in New York, where they lived at the time. Decades later, a Poe scholar and mega-fan stole her skelton, claiming it was to preserve her from destruction as the cemetery was being torn down. She was eventually given back to the Poe family who then had her interred to the right of Poe, where she currently rests in a small bronze casket. At least when Edgar was moved it was only the once, and in the same boneyard cemetery.
😯😯
I love your channel! Ahhh I wish I could have know you were in my hometown. I would have loved to meet you! Keep up the great videos! Always look forward to viewing them!
Thank you for watching our strange adventures. I guess you never know where we will be sometimes we just roll in and roll out.
Thanks for the history of edger u guys are awesome
I love old cemeteries too. I think they're so beautiful and peaceful. 🪦⚰⚱Grimm life for life 💀
There's a Revolutionary War cemetery in Marietta OH that is breathtaking. Called Mound cemetery.
Oh hey! Just found your all’s channel from the lost boys filming locations video.. and while browsing was happy to see you visited Bmore!! And that you had such nice things to say about it! It’s rare that I hear anyone compliment Baltimore, so that’s awesome! Hope you make it back around sometime!
Loving you guys videos
Regards from Watford Hertfordshire England uk.
I remember studying Poe in high school. Best literature I’ve had to study, considering I always liked the gothic aesthetic to his works.
For a HS speech class I memorized The Raven and did it before the class. I got an A+ and since it was such a long poem to remember I also got an extra credit A+. My favorite line is "his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming".
That's pretty amazing. That's a very long poem with some complicated lines.
@@trawlins396 Thanks. I just loved the poem so much that I put in the work to get it done. The teacher kind of saw it like you did hence the A+ grade and extra credit.
@@TristanandIsolt youre welcome. You definitely deserved an A for committing that to memory. It is a beautiful poem. Almost like a song, so lyrical and poignant.
I like your name btw. You must be a fan of Celtic folklore. Or Wagner lol
@@trawlins396 Yes I love Celtic and Arthurian legends. You are one of the very few who gets my name. There is a song by that name by Heather Dale. Epic 10 minutes long and beautiful. Give it a try and I bet you will love it.
Love the shirt u wore while filming this
I loved that. I have always loved Poe's work. Especially The Raven and Lenore. I just actually downloaded a free pdf of Lenore through Google Books on my phone! so cool!
It's really Interesting to see this video about Poe, I have a few of his books ghost stories etc but the first time I
Ever saw his name was when I was kid and watching john carpenter's The Fog and at the very beginning of
The movie appears one of his famous quotes, all that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.
This is truly beautiful and of course awesome.
Bucket list item.
Been wanting to go for decades
I also love the original marker the best
You should have met up with dan bell and had him take you to Leakin Park where all the bodies are dumped.. that is one creepy spot
That would suck it would be my luck I would finally get to go to Baltimore and the museum would be closed
Great vlog. I love Poe.. I did a series of videos called POEts Corner where I read Poe’s works. I should make some more..
This is so awesome!!!!! My favorite person man holy McNuggets getting a sleeve of Edgar Allen Poe never more! Thank you guys for this video an the info love your videos!!!! I have been watching every one of your guys video threw out the day!!!
This was interesting! I've always wanted to visit but haven't had a chance yet. Thanks for sharing ♥️
If you ever get the chance to go, do it. Baltimore is beautiful especially in the fall.
@@grimmlifecollective definitely will! ♥️ thank u guys 😊
Best intro on RUclips 😎
Back in the day that church was in the middle of nothing and now look? Crazy. Progress???
Wow Wow Wow!!! I just read "The Black Cat" last night. I am so grateful for your insightful videos. But where is the Missus today?
That’s so cool. He’s one of my favorite authors. Now you have to go to Poes Tavern in Jacksonville Beach!
I was in that bar about two years ago and I didn’t even realize where I was until I saw the Poe’s last stop sign. I asked the bartender and she told me the whole story. Being a fan of Poe, I feel I was meant to wander in there that night since I had visited his grave a few years earlier.
Sorry Nick but the stories about Poe having his last meal/drink there are nothing more than a publicity stunt.
This video popped up on my face page, must be because I love Mr Poe and my favorite time of the year Halloween 👻
I had the opportunity to stop and pay my respects to Edgar Allan Poe today, The Westminster Burial Ground is creepy and cool at the same time!!
True! --nervous --very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?
Oh very good - a great place to poes for a picture...
_U never know,maybe he was Poesened._
I was also that weird kid reading Poe in the 80’s🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Great documentary Grimm life collective. Love your channel. Xxxx. Weren't Poe's clothes on backwards or something?
It's like, his tomb is alive. It gives me the chills.
New plaques will be unveiled in October 2024. And the "original" grave is actually his second. He was in an unmarked grave as his headstone was destroyed in a railway accident. He was moved in April 1875 to the "original" gravesite and he was moved to the front of the graveyard in November 1875. Glad to hear you love Baltimore!
Poe wrote about places that no one would dare to go.....RIP Edgar A Poe....
That's a lovely cemetery.
Awesome video enjoyed it very much especially since my last name used to be POE. 😉
I wish I could personally get up there to see this. Anyhow keep on keeping on and have a very blessed day :-)
Cool content and t- shirt. 💀👻
I love your intro music bro
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.
Enjoyed learning about one of the world’s greatest writers.
Thankyou grimms... Edger Allen eh. Myself this is not one writer I appreciated.. Tho I know he huge in USA so will watch with interest. Thanks again for the upload.
Forever Poe, the greatest
Poe was the original and everyone after him is just an emo poser pole smoker.
im like an hour from there i wish i had known i would love to meet you guys are you still around the area im on the eastern shore md
🏁💀 right on right on right on! 🤙
Can you do a vid Of. hounds of the Baskervilles Thanks bro 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love Poe!
You guys would definitely fit into the vibe of Baltimore culture. Imagine you guys opening a Fells Point storefront consisting of your 'grimm collective' for people to purchase and decorated like The Satanic Temple house.
This was awesome I'm a huge Poe fan. I would love for you guys to do Stephen King and Lovecraft. Grimm 4 life!
Ummm, unless you know something we don't, King is still alive. 🤔
I worked in Baltimore for almost 30 years. The last time I visited the grave (2019) the police stopped and asked me if I needed assistance- it's a dodgy part of town. Be careful. Remember the observation told to me by said police- "Get your business done by 11:00 am. The bad guys generally go to sleep at 5:00 and you're safe until lunch".
There’s a legend here in Maryland about that cemetery that there’s a old lady sprit that if you see her it’s best to run because she will chase you and scream in your face
Love the show I'm related to Edgar Allan Poe thought my dad's mom my grandma.
I've seen this comment two dozen times. 🙄
@@trawlins396 and?????? Doesn't make it not true
That’s an old wives tale about the horse. He collapsed and was found up on Lombard st and was supposedly last seen in a now nonexistent bar on Lombard in the central business district.
