I had the honor of attending a Halloween party she threw one year and it was absolutely epic! She decorated every inch of the home and it was beautiful. If you ever have the chance to sit down and meet Christopher, the stories he will tell growing up in his Mother’s world. Great video Michael and Jessica! ♥️
I met Anne Rice once at a book signing in Massachusetts. She signed my copy of Interview of a Vampire which I still have. She was so beautiful. Looked just like a porcelain doll. I was totally tongue tied, but did tell her how much I admired her and enjoyed her writing. She was very gracious. I’ll never forget it or her. 🥀
What a lovely grave site for Ms. Rice and another interesting cemetery. I love how Jessica completely embraces who she is - and she always looks lovely doing it! Hope your trip is going well! Be safe! 🖤💚🎃💀
I read her first book when I was ten years old and fell in love instantly with her and all things gothic and dark. I cried when I heard of her passing. I'm hoping one day to visit and to pay my respects. Thank you guys.🌹
Anne and JK Rowling single handedly got me through adolescence. I read Queen of the Damned so many times the paperback fell apart. I still have it though. Thank you Anne, for sharing your universe with all of us lost ❤️ 🙏
My favorite series by Anne is The Witching Hour. When I first read it, I didn't know it was a trilogy. I now own all 3 books. I know she has written more than that, but this is the only series that grabbed by attention. I love ghost story novels too. My favorite ghost story book is called Haunted by Tamara Thorne.
May her Spirit live on, on the page and through the blood of her beloved son, Christopher. A beautiful woman was she, inside and out: whenever I faced challenges in my own writer's journey, Anne would always take the time to lend her advice and help pull me over the Garden wall. She will forever be an inspiration. She will forever be a friend. And she will forever be in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known her.
There really is beauty in cemeteries, especially in New Orleans. I didn’t get to do any cemetery tours when I took a trip with friends in 2019, but we got to quickly peek into one in the Garden District on a tour. The same tour actually took us to Miss Robichaux’s filming location, among a ton of other places. The little bit we got to see was breathtaking.
My Lil dog Thor pup and I visited Anne Rice's grave back in February 2022, during Mardi Gras. I left her some beads, & a kiss on the outside of her tomb. She is my favorite author of all time. My beloved Mother, Cheryl Lord passed away from cardic arrest about 1 month before Anne passed. It was like losing 2 Mothers to me. It has always been a dream of mine to visit NoLa and see all the places Anne wrote about. I finally made it there, but alas was too late to meet Anne in person. Thor pup sat calmly on the steps of the Rice tomb, while I ugly cried and payed my respects. I wouldn't be the person I am today without Anne's books. RIP 🙏 Love, Luna & Thor pup too
I love how when Jessica is walking among the graves, she appears to be waving to each one as she passes. I love, love, love Lafayette Cemetery. I have a family mausoleum there. I can't believe it is still closed for renovation. 🧛🏻♀️👻⚰️
I read Vampire Chronicles all through my high school years. I will miss her because she literally saved my life. Vampire Chronicles got me through some of my darkest moments and if it wasn't for that I wouldn't have found Forever Knight
I lived close by and had to pass every day to get to work. Metairie holds friends of mine. It truly is a beautiful cemetery. You can drive inside to visit just pull over and walk around the streets as they're named. Anne has a beautiful tomb. I'm so glad you visited it. New Orleans is home 4ever.
Awesome video. I couldn’t stop laughing when Jessica was acting dramatic saying her vampire 🧛♀️ lines. So cute. Thank you both for taking us with you to Anne Rice final resting place. May Anne Rice Rest In Peace.💐
@@ms.c3 Don,t worry about it.There is always one unfortunately who just can,t help themselves.Says much about them.Your comment was just fine and Jessica was amusing.
December was a tough month for me and I either missed her passing entirely or mentally blocked it because I was certain she's still alive. I thought I'd just seen an interview with her. How strange. Thank you for this lovely tribute.
Omg I Love New Orleans and I especially Love Anne Rices Books I’ve also read Christoper Rice .. she was such an Amazing writer🙏😔…. Love your Channel Grimmlife Collective 👍 Thank you both so much for honoring Anne Rice🙏
Thank you for sharing all of this. I am planning to visit and pay my respects to Anne and wanted to get a good idea on where the Mausoleum was ahead of my visit. Much appreciated and highly informative video. The Garden District Bookshop was on my list but I had no idea that it had so many things connected with Anne's memory so that was great to learn.
Yassss thank you so much for all of your videos but more this one. I’m a huge fan of Anne Rice and just got back from New Orleans. 💖🙌 Her houses are beautiful and I did stop by the Garden District book shop also. We saw a crow around her home and we also stopped by the houses in the Mayfair Witches series & American Horror Story Coven. All beautiful. There are plenty of crows around.
Anne Rice is one of my favorite authors. She introduced me to and fed my love for vampires and horror! Her book, Queen of the Damned, is grotesque, dark, evil and MAGICAL. When she passed, I cried. May she rest in peace.
Queen of the Damned is one of my favorite books. Have you read The Witching Hour? It's worth a read despite being one of her largest books. It is just as much about New Orleans as it is about witches. I am not going to watch the TV show. They can't even get the names of the characters right! That's how hilariously sloppy the writers are.
I was honored to actually meet her on more than one occasion at her book signings. She really knew how to make an entrance and she was a really nice lady . She inspired me to keep writing poems and short stories.
Another great video! That copy of The Vampire Chronicles Jessica had at first was stunning omg. I hope she bought it! Also Anne really shaped the world of vampires and fanfiction. Suing lots of fanfic authors for creating works based on hers before fanfics we're really mainstream. She's one of the main reasons why authors have to put "The original content, characters are not mine, all belong to the author besides the OCs." On most fics. She was a truly magnificent author and her fandoms live on today. Honestly the Anne Rise/ Vampire Chronicles fandom has my utmost respect for real. They deal with alot thru the yrs, and waiting yrs for her stories to continue with her hiatus and the films, in the fans opinions, weren't not the best, waiting yrs for new content, ect. And still continue on loving her works throughout it all. Love you guys doing this and honoring her memory. Happy Halloween 🎃
This is the first I've heard that Anne Rice died! Guess covid and other super politicized headlines kept the story out of any media on my radar. Sad belated news. Nice video tribute. You two always do a great job.
I actually didn't know it either until about a month ago, but I don't do fb much anymore and didn't hear it anywhere else either. Like you said, so much other bs going on.
Anne Rice will always be one of the best writers ever in my eyes. New Orleans is such an interesting and magical place. Everyone should visit it at least once. (And try the amazing food!) Also - Jessica looks gorgeous! ❤
My mom hooked me in to her writing. I love Interview with the Vampire, the book and the movie. Had no clue she had passed away. Bless her! Her writing is beautiful!🥀
y'all do a better video about her and her grave than I have seen others do! I really appreciate how you guy's do for these videos and the respect y'all give to the dead. interview with the vampire will always be my favorite and the movie as well.
My Dad bought Interview With A Vampire when it was first published and released specifically to read in the waiting room while I was being born. Things were different back then and Dad's didn't go into the room when mom was in labor. He gave me the same book when I turned 16 and my love affair with Lestat began!
I forgot to also mention the cemetery is just beautiful. I have visited it a few times. the Lafayette one's as well. I miss New Orleans. such a beautiful city. 🎃🦇👻
My favorite thing about this channel is that you are showing these highly emotional areas in such a respectful way. Of course there is a dark curiosity there but you explore it in a way that still honors these places. I’d be honored to get to visit your final resting place one day I know it would be absolutely beautiful.
Very well done video! I didn't even know she passed away... I loved the video of her mock funeral... Sounds like she was a really fun person and extremely talented... I like the idea of your mausoleum to pay our respects to you two while you're still alive;unique idea but makes me a little sad as well. Anyway,thanks for the spectacular video!
For some reason I always figured her as not real. Can't explain it. Like she was a vampire. On the flip side I've seen her interviews, so I know she is real. If I remember correctly she was on Phil Donahue and she was f'ing with him as he was asking some stupid ass questions. He finally caught on she was f'ing with him. But it took him a bit.
Beautiful video. Nobody will ever convince me that she didn't have first hand knowledge/inside information. She fueled so many imaginations and fantasies, past , present and for generations to come.🥰
Loved it. I'm a huge Anne Rice fan. Her mausoleum does seem a bit bare in comparison. Perhaps they are still working on it? I'd love to see a weeping tree shrouding her. A contemplation statue... Oh Anne. You are missed. Glad you are reunited with Stan and Michelle. X
Thank you for going to pay respects to the Great Lady herself when many of us cannot. Her novels saved me as a young LGBT teen. I felt and still feel like I belong among her wonderful characters. ❤
Big Anne Rice fan since the beginning. So glad I found your channel. Love everything you do. I went to New Orleans in the early 90's and went to the Garden district and visited Lafayette cemetery and saw Marie Laveau's mausoleum. It was surrounded by flowers and gifts. People still revere her and ask her for help. Also saw Anne Rice's home. My cousin turned me on to her when 'Interview' came out. I was hooked immediately. My cousin even tried to file her canine teeth to a point. 🥴. I loved New Orleans and one day will make it back. Thank you for your awesome videos.
Loved this video. You guys always go way and beyond! My mom loved Anne Rice ,THANK YOU BOTH -for what you and Jess do for us! Please tell me that you both will be at Spooky Empire in October @ Orlando!🧡🖤 Happy Halloween!🎃
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I have always wanted to visit New Orleans again and after Anne's passing, this gives me more reason to do so in the future.
I was born and raised in New Orleans and when I started to become of fan of Anne Rice and found out she lived there, my mom used to tell me how she and my dad was able to get in to one of the Halloween parties and it was vampire themed. She told me that it was so much fun and got to meet her for a minute.
I love this so much! I hope to make it down to New Orleans one day. I think a view finder at your own mausoleum would be so cool. I'd like to have a box for people to leave notes. Stay spooky 👻🖤
Anne is truly in a better place ...she was my hero ..................................at her mock funeral, I imagine Nicky playing his violin in the background .....................................Anne also wrote the Sleeping Beauty series.....my favorite books of all of hers were "Cry to Heaven" and "The Feast of All Saints".......I went thru Lafayette cemetery in the 80's to be near Anne for Mardi Gras ...you are always very respectful of your topics ..bravo
I've read a lot of Anne Rice's books over the years. She was remarkable. I always got entranced in the stories. Thank you for doing this video and sharing it with us so we can also pay our respects to a wonderful lady. May she rest in peace
Awesome as always. Anne Rice is one of my favorite authors. Thank you for taking us on a tour. Hope you all are having a wonderful trip. I love Jessica’s outfit and the veil. My grandmother helped me work on a dress I designed many years ago before she passed away and Jessica’s dress reminded me so much of it. Mine is still in the closet. I just recently cleaned it and I finally found an extra long black veil to go with it. It seems like ever since my grandmother and I first began making the dress all those years ago I’ve still kept adding something too it each year following. Some new accessory or a small alteration lol. Anyway thank you guys for taking us to such wonderful places. Have as much fun as possible and take care 👋🏻
Thank you for this lovely visit. Anne Rice's books mean worlds to me. I never got to go to one of her parties either but I do have an autograph she signed at one, it was collected for my by a friend who did attend one year and it is a treasure.
Anne Rice was one of the novelists that really changed my life with her Vampire Chronicles books along with the Harry Potter books. But hearing Anne Rice dying of a stroke, I mourned horribly. She knew how to take the vampire genre and make it into an analogy of human nature and how we look at ourselves. She left behind a remarkable legacy. As sad as I am about it now, a part of me is hopeful because she's reunited with her daughter (who she based Claudia off of) on the other side.
OMG I was just there on Friday. I took a picture of the first one you showed where Jessica was standing as well because I thought it was interesting. I got a picture of the “castle cathedral” too. There are some amazing ones there. Also, the St Elizabeth house you visited is across the street where my daughter lived.
Katrina and I was in New Orleans February 22nd-25th. We left there on the morning of the 25th. We had fun. We would of stayed if we would of had more money. I fell in love with the city. In Crescent City books I saw an article on Ann Rice about her death and burial also some of her books. I am a huge fan of hers can't wait to go back.
RIP Ms. Rice, you are a true champion, pioneer and legend. Interview with the Vampire is a modern-day classic and will be in the "cannons" of that discipline in writing.
Excellent video!! I would have thought she would have had a more unique mausoleum too but it is still beautiful in a very beautiful cemetery!! Loved seeing all the locations too!
I Love anytime you GriMMs go to the cemetery... it makes my day go SO much better. The both of you have so much fun, and the details you put into the research of the said cemeteries, are very interesting. Anne Rice was 80 when she died!?.... I always thought Ms. Rice was much younger ---- I'm so glad she was put into such a grand mausoleum, for leading such a grand life. Also, I LOVED Ms. GriMMs acting moment, but good---- i believe she should make a cameo on "What We Do in the Shadows"... Yes, that would be a thing to do... Thanks, for taking us all along for the ride in New Orleans..... :^)""""""""
Thank you for this video. I have loved and rice and her books for years. Keep on doing your videos. They are highly informative and entertaining. You guys do such a great job!
I love Metairie cemetery. It has been a few years since I been there. I thought the one that looks like an old church looked like a castle. I so love all the cemeteries. Lafayette cemetery is a great one too. I also plan vacations around historic cemeteries.
I’d love to visit New Orleans, and I’d love to place a single flower on the steps of the mausoleum. A flower for Anne 🥀 . Thank you for sharing this video, tastefully done
When Interview with a Vampire came out at the theatres my GF at the time was excited that we got tickets for opening weekend. 5 minutes into the movie she gets up and says were leaving. She was such a fan of Anne Rice she couldn't bare to see the movie adaption of the book with all the inaccuracies. She was literally heartbroken. Good Video Grimm Life .
RIP the fabulous Ann Rice. May your works keep your spirit alive eternally. My favorite movie of all time interviews with a vampire. New Orleans is a magical place (my second home) Thank you for this video Jessica is a whole vibe! From the dress to the hat to the nails. I love it! Thank you
I’ve loved all of Anne Rice’s books. I’m currently halfway through ‘Lasher’ again. I haven’t read it for about 20 years. Thanks for the wonderful tour.
I'm always checking here to see if you've uploaded a new video. I'm always extremely happy when something appears from you. Thank you for many many hours that you have entertained me. You have driven away my boredom in the Corona time. Greetings from good old Germany sends you the "Freiburger Bobbele Jens".

I had the honor of attending a Halloween party she threw one year and it was absolutely epic! She decorated every inch of the home and it was beautiful. If you ever have the chance to sit down and meet Christopher, the stories he will tell growing up in his Mother’s world. Great video Michael and Jessica! ♥️
How wonderful!!💙
Did u take any pics at the party?
Christopher, not Christian
Wow! I must say I envy you for that.
Now that was cool! I bet that was so much fun!
Rumor has it she used to throw the most epic Halloween parties open to anyone .
I met Anne Rice once at a book signing in Massachusetts. She signed my copy of Interview of a Vampire which I still have. She was so beautiful. Looked just like a porcelain doll. I was totally tongue tied, but did tell her how much I admired her and enjoyed her writing. She was very gracious. I’ll never forget it or her. 🥀

I cried too !!!!
I met Ms Rice once, at a book signing in California. Very cool lady. May she rest in eternal peace.
Anne and JK Rowling single handedly got me through adolescence. I read Queen of the Damned so many times the paperback fell apart. I still have it though.
Thank you Anne, for sharing your universe with all of us lost ❤️ 🙏
That's awesome! I don't think I seen a paperback one
Also queen of the damned soundtrack was awesome!! Jonathan Davis is amazing 🐐 KOЯN will always be my favorite
You wouldn't be lost if you knew Jesus.
The mummy of rames the damned got me in to writing 😉😉😉

Perhaps they are still working on it?
I'd love to see a weeping tree shrouding her. A contemplation statue...

Omg! I lived in New Orleans and we frequently went to her house to look at it. I didn’t know she died.
She led a very interesting life!.

As sad as I am about it now, a part of me is hopeful because she's reunited with her daughter (who she based Claudia off of) on the other side.
OMG I was just there on Friday. I took a picture of the first one you showed where Jessica was standing as well because I thought it was interesting. I got a picture of the “castle cathedral” too. There are some amazing ones there. Also, the St Elizabeth house you visited is across the street where my daughter lived.
I loved all her books! Such talent! The line opening line.. “The vampire Lestat..” got me hooked ever since. RIP 🖤
Thank you! I admire Jessica's commitment to the long sleeve black maxi dress, black veil, and hair down, in that heat.
Katrina and I was in New Orleans February 22nd-25th. We left there on the morning of the 25th. We had fun. We would of stayed if we would of had more money. I fell in love with the city. In Crescent City books I saw an article on Ann Rice about her death and burial also some of her books. I am a huge fan of hers can't wait to go back.
RIP Ms. Rice, you are a true champion, pioneer and legend. Interview with the Vampire is a modern-day classic and will be in the "cannons" of that discipline in writing.
My home is NOLA & My soul was resurrected in Los Angeles🤘🏼🦇🔮
Love Anne Rice
Graveyards there are something else, beautiful artwork that gives you the chills
I’ve always enjoyed your videos. Keep it up, you guys rock.
Excellent video!! I would have thought she would have had a more unique mausoleum too but it is still beautiful in a very beautiful cemetery!! Loved seeing all the locations too!
I Love anytime you GriMMs go to the cemetery... it makes my day go SO much better. The both of you have so much fun, and the details you put into the research of the said cemeteries, are very interesting. Anne Rice was 80 when she died!?.... I always thought Ms. Rice was much younger ---- I'm so glad she was put into such a grand mausoleum, for leading such a grand life. Also, I LOVED Ms. GriMMs acting moment, but good---- i believe she should make a cameo on "What We Do in the Shadows"... Yes, that would be a thing to do... Thanks, for taking us all along for the ride in New Orleans..... :^)""""""""
Thank you for this video. I have loved and rice and her books for years. Keep on doing your videos. They are highly informative and entertaining. You guys do such a great job!
Such a beautiful talent. RIP Anne Rice.❤
I loved her novels especially interview with the vampire! ❤️
I love Metairie cemetery. It has been a few years since I been there. I thought the one that looks like an old church looked like a castle. I so love all the cemeteries. Lafayette cemetery is a great one too. I also plan vacations around historic cemeteries.
Sweet! Love Anne Rice. New Orleans is a great town. Lots of history and ghost. Thanks for this 🖤
I’d love to visit New Orleans, and I’d love to place a single flower on the steps of the mausoleum. A flower for Anne 🥀 . Thank you for sharing this video, tastefully done
When Interview with a Vampire came out at the theatres my GF at the time was excited that we got tickets for opening weekend. 5 minutes into the movie she gets up and says were leaving. She was such a fan of Anne Rice she couldn't bare to see the movie adaption of the book with all the inaccuracies. She was literally heartbroken. Good Video Grimm Life .
Micheal as always one of the best narrators. Jessica is always looking great in her dresses 👗. Always looking forward to your videos. Thanks 😊
Ann Rice is my favorite author ever!!!! I have read everyone of her books!!!!! Including her witch chronicles:)
