As Halloween Looms, Sam And Colby Unveil Four-Part U.K. Series, ‘The Graveyard’

If Shane Dawson helped bring the homespun YouTube docuseries format mainstream, countless creators have sought to make it their own.

Next up, paranormal investigating vlogging duo Sam Golbach and Colby Brock are venturing across the pond for a new spooky series dubbed The Graveyard, Variety reports. Set in the U.K., the four-part project was shot in the allegedly haunted Langham Hotel, as well as a nearby church graveyard.

Dropping ahead of Halloween this Sunday, the series marks the first time that the duo have posted on their YouTube channel (3.6 million subscribers) in roughly two months, as well as their first time taking their content overseas. Brock told Variety that the show marks their highest production budget to date, and will also include the use of paranormal-sensing devices as well as appearances by two of their friends and fellow creators: Jake Webber and Corey Scherer.

Golbach and Brock — both 22 — are childhood friends from Kansas who rose to fame on Vine. Over the summer, they announced they would be stepping back from weekly videos in order to step up the ambition and scope of their projects — a shift being tread by countless YouTubers, including, most recently, The Dolan Twins

. Golbach and Brock also announced a hiatus last spring on the heels of a scary experience while attempting to enact a ritual on a haunted hike.

After The Graveyard, the guys will release a series about a castle in Scotland, where they traveled after their stint at The Langham. The guys will also be premiering their previously-announced Snapchat series, Stranded, on Oct. 26. The unscripted show, produced by reality TV vets Bunim/Murray, is set in Pennsylvania. Previous Sam and Colby YouTube series and feature films include The Origin, The Witches’ Forest, and The Stanley Hotel. All told, the guys count 7 million YouTube subscribers and 3.6 million Instagram folllowers.

You can check out the trailer for The Graveyard — in which the quartet ruminate about whether they should even post the series, and exclaim about various negligible sightings — right here:
