@@lucianaromulus1408 Me too...seeing her now though, you can feel sorry for her...or admire the fact that she is still a beautiful soul - despite what that fuc*ed up collection of child touching weirdos tried to do to her.
@@ivegasliveentertainmentinc4698 That was overblown & over exaggerated. Kubrick was tough to work with, yes, but he didn't flat out abuse her which has been claimed. It was a tough shoot Scatman Crothers as well. Shelley has regularly spoken highly of Kubrick.
Wow, I never realised that the interior shots of this hotel were replicated so accurately for the film. What a brilliant birthday treat! Thank you both, for sharing this, really enjoyed it!
Stanley Kubrick was an absolute stickler for attention to detail. It's amazing how he mimicked and recreated the interior of this hotel in the movie The Shining. The movie is in my personal top ten best of all time to date. Glad Jessica and you had a great time and thanks for sharing. Happy Birthday Grimm!
One of the most iconic atmospheric movies I've ever seen. The cast made the film absolutely perfect but equally the settings and and the melancholy feel of the hotel, it actually felt like a depressing place where you could fully understand why men went berserk there penned in during a winter of thick unrelenting snow. Loved this video, watching from England 👍
I find the details in Kubrick's OH being different than real life truly gives the sense that something isn't right when seeing the actual location. With the mirrored locations, different floor designs etcetera. Very similar to the actual hotel but different. So diehards who visit can sense it. Not that that was Kubrick's intention but it truly feels like it.
I love The Shining, what gorgeous amazing views of the mountains and waterfall, The Overlook is a gorgeous hotel. What an amazing birthday present....Happy Birthday 🎉.
i watched this vid and was like, am i not understanding?--none of the movie was physically shot in that hotel??? I never had a clue that he recreated all this on a soundstage. mind blown🤯 The movie matches even the Native patterns on the walls and floor! Massive kudos to the ppl who built the props--holy crap they matched the tiniest detail. Totally need to see this hotel irl now. Super rad!
As reading your comment, I was thinking: this fella looks just as Morgan Freeman...and then I read your nic and it was shocking ! - You are a fuck...genius, more genial than 10 Stanleys Kubricks working together with 100% focus !!!
I like how you find the way into places, people, events, so calm and respectuf. The narrator tone/cadence reminds me actually of Heather's in The Blair Witch Project, when they shot in Burkittsville, at the very beginning. Beautiful channel.
Jessica in the bathtub made me wanna cover my eyes immediately, because that's always the part that scares me from the movie. Great job guys, this was an amazing trip to take with you. Happy birthday!! 🎂🎉💀⚰️
Yay! Another cool AF video guys! It must have been so freaking amazing to be able to stay there! Awesome bday present I must say! Happy Birthday Michael! 🎉🎂
Thank you, Grimm and Jessica, for taking us along! What a treat! Grimm, I could see and hear how much fun you were having. What a special time for you. --- I love the Overlook just for itself, would love to be the caretaker myself. I've heard that the movie has a hidden reference to the Gold Standard on which U.S. money used to be based and connected to the Overlooks' Gold Room. Maybe just a coincidence, but I've noticed how the beautiful Gold Room bears a striking resemblance to the night club called Club Leviathan aboart the ocean liner S.S. Leviathan. The Leviathan began service as the German liner Vaterland (Fatherland) then was seized by the U.S. in 1917 and renamed as the troopship Leviathan. After the war the U.S. kept the Leviathan and she returned to passenger services under the same name for different owners and with mixed degrees of success. The Leviathan was laid up in 1934, I believe, then scrapped in Scotland in 1938. She should have been put in the Reserve Fleet because she would have been so valuable in World War II that was in the near future.
You have a done a really masterful job of conveying the incredible parallels between the Ahwahnee and the Overlook... It must have been so striking for you to be there and being in what are essentially the real-life counterparts of one of THE classic horror movies! It's uncanny seeing the two of you walking through the spaces.... Hats off to your editing and title cards between scenes as well :) Bravo! (And filming your wife in silhouette walking down the backlit tunnel was very cinematic)
That was really cool to see and the first time I've seen the Hotel the film's set was directly inspired by. Amazing they left it unchanged all those decades now for the styling. Thank you!
Just got back from Yosemite and came across your video looking for more info on the Ahwanee / Shining connection. So glad you did this! We snuck around the barrier into the dining room and there’s ANOTHER massive fireplace! It truly was spooky to be in there, Kubrick nailed the architecture and aesthetics of the place !
What a beautiful hotel! Thank you Grimms for taking us on this tour! So interesting to see the details that were used in the classic movie The Shining! You two film such awesome on site videos!
This really felt scary to me! Like a flashback to that movie, which really stays with you! You really played up the drama and did your research! I don't know if you've done it yet, but you guys should consider staying at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, which is where Stephen King said he got the inspiration to write "The Shining." He stayed in room 217. That hotel is supposed to be one of the most haunted hotels in the US and I've read that King had some interesting experiences there.
I didn't see this before commenting something very similar. Have you ever stayed there? I've never experienced anything supernatural there. We've even stayed up very late wandering the hotel.
@@SheilaKarner I never stayed there. I don't think I could! 😂 I stayed at the French Lick Resort in French Lick, Indiana, which had no connection to a horror movie but reminded me so much of the hotel in The Shining that I only stayed one day and had to leave because I was so creeped out! So I'm not a candidate for staying at the Stanley Hotel! 🤣
Great Shining video! Makes me want to travel more. I loved the attention to detail plus the extra footage of the tunnels. Great content as usual - also Jessica’s “redrum” 😂
Thanks once again for this amazing experience. For someone like me who lives very far away, it's a small gift that you give me every time with your immense videos. I really hope to be able to visit all this wonder one day. A big kiss from Italy 🤘
Man I envy the adventures that Michael and Jessica go on. The Shining was a awesome movie and Michaels interview with shelley was devine. The beginning shot of the tunnel remind me of the opening song in rocky horror of theres a light on. Terriffic Birthday present for Michael. That shot of the other tunnel looked like it was from back to the future or who frammed roger rabbit. Was it? Another video knocked out of the park. Happy Halloween 🎃
Great camera work. Crisp details you captured of the stunning vistas, the awesome tunnels to hell and the comparison work in the hotel was top notch. Awesome video 💀🖤
I just watched this last night again for the 100 th time while I was putting the rest of my Halloween Spooky things out. You guys are awesome! So cool! LOVE THIS MOVIE ONE OF THE BEST!!!! EVER!!! Thanks for what you do for us! Happy Halloween 💚🖤🎃🐈⬛
What a magnificent film that will stay with you forever. Haunting and diabolical. Scary and intense. What an amazing tour you have given us in remembrance of THE SHINING. Excellent!!
The diamond-patterned blanket on the wall opposite the elevators on the third floor at 26:46 is in The Shining aswell. The number of diamonds is different however, the one in the movie famously has seven on it
This movie is a favorite of mine, I don't know how many times I've watched it. And this video is pure gold! Took me back to 1980, in the Overlook Hotel... Kubrick was a meticulous genius. Thank you very much for such a treat!
Happy birthday Michael .I never get tired of watching you two. It seems you are a perfect pair,Jessica with her grace and pleasant looks and you with your entusiasm for scary things,take care of your lady and keep on making more videos.Greetings from Norway.
Hey! Nice video making the connection from the movie to the "Ahwahnee" hotel. In the winter you can visit again-it has a very special vibe at that time and resonates with the ending, minus the maze :) You guys have some really great content!
This channel has lately become my go to "TV series" ever since the algorithm recommended the video where you visit Pete Steele's grave (after rewatching a bunch of interviews from the 90s). The episode where you visit Area 51 made me realize I miss all the times I spent in the backseat of my parents car as a kid, they drove a lot. Getting to tag along you guys, wherever you are, gives me sort of the same feeling. In the most affectionate way - this is middle age goth youtube. Thanks for... well this whole channel!
The Shining is one of my favorite scary movies next to Halloween! Love your videos! You are the best narrator ! Thank you for all you both do and allowing all of us to be a part of your unforgettable “scary” adventures! Have a Blessed Birthday and……Happy Halloween!!! Angela
Incredible! Thanks for taking us along, read the book in 79!, wow had no idea that place actually existed , knew the set was built etc, now I want to go, that was quite a trip y’all took and that tunnel was pretty dangerous looking be careful, and the bathtub scene recreated by Jessica I actually got goosebumps! If anyone at anytime during your tour would have jumped out and said boo! I would have had a heart attack sitting here in my study in north Texas, thanks again and it’s getting close my favorite time of year the run up to Halloween! Happy Belated Birthday!
You guys truly are living the dream. As someone from a third world country on the other side of the world, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving people like me a once in a lifetime tour of these amazing places. I would never able to take in all the minute details of the Overlook hotel had you not taking us for this ride. Thank you again and Happy Birthday.
Great job! If you haven't been to the east entrance to Glacier National Park to experience the opening driving shots in The Shining make sure you get to see that. It's also incredible and beautiful!!!
Wow its amazing how much of the hotel stanley incorporated into the film 😮.. amazing thank you! And it also answered many questions on the hotel where SO many people say it WAS filmed, and for you to be honest and tell us they never actually filmed there ! Thank you! 👏🏻👍🏻
I am not sure if you realize this or not but you released this video on what would have been Stanley Kubrick's 95th Birthday. Also I just seen your The Timberline Lodge video from 2 years ago. Great work Grimm.
I truly appreciated your video. If the beauty of that real hotel wasn’t epic enough it’s beyond imagination how much effort went into building the huge movie sets that are inspired from it. Bravo well done!👍🏼
Absolutely chilling to watch and definitely can see the shining as if it’s really being filmed as your walking us through it , yes I definitely see it Love Stanley Kubrick (rest in peace)
I've been with you since the beginning Michael and this just might be my favorite one. Of course I love the Shining, and Jessica looks amazing walking through the mountain tunnel And opening the shower curtain! Wasn't expecting that. Absolutely great job, my favorite movie of all time.
@@grimmlifecollectiveI love your channel as well - been watching you guys for a few years. I was in Yosemite National Park last week - it's a gloriously beautiful place. What a special treat to stay at the Overlook Hotel!
The Shining freaked me out as a kid and still a little bit as an adult. Apparently the outside and inside were two different hotels/lodges. Thanks for providing this your and allowing us the live vicariously through your camera.
Absolutely LOVED this video guys! I wasn’t aware that Kubrick took inspiration from the Ahwahnee for the hotel in The Shining. Ya can’t miss the similarities! Yosemite is on my bucket list, and now I know where I’m going to stay! Thanks again for another awesome video! Love you two!
Only the Colorado Lounge is modeled after the Ahwahnee lobby and it isn’t a replica. Other than the lobby the Overlook is complete different. There is no Overlook hotel. The outside shots are taken from the Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood Oregon and the inside of the Overlook was created in Pinewoods Studio in London, UK. This stuff in this video is just a re-creation.
Michael and Jessica it was such a honor meeting you both today at midsummer scream you both were the best part of the event . this is Lisa the tall girl 😂 We came home tonight to watch your new videos . I hope to see you both again someday soon . You both are so down to earth and so nice I can tell you both have good hearts . Best wishes on all your endeavors.
I have to say, this is my new favorite video you guys have done! I loved everything about it. I especially loved how thorough you were in showing us different parts of the hotel, even your fancy third floor suite (AKA the Jared Leto suite 🤣). Leading us around at midnight was genius haha. I also loved the spooky tunnel you showed us! There were so many good shots in this video. What an absolutely stunning location! I hope you enjoyed your birthday trip, Michael!!🎃
What a treat you have brought to us here in this video. Thank you for all of the hard-work and research you put into this (every video) video ! Happy Birthday, Michael! And hello beautiful Jessica❤
I used to work in an old hotel built in 1924. The elevators had a mind of their own. They would often skip floors and it would feel like you were falling. It was really scary. After I left a maintenance worker was actually killed by the falling elevator.
What a journey for the both of you and taking me along for the ride! Watching this beautiful video that you both pieced together is fantastic to say the least, I actually felt I was there with you and going back into film history! Like so many fans I also love this movie it’s an absolute classic. I have to add when you walked past those massive pillars I had goosebumps as I imagined JACK TORRANCE approaching with that axe. Very creepy indeed………. Again thank you so much to the both of you for taking the time and Immense efforts for bringing this move the SHINING back to life. Thank you ❤
Brilliantly filmed with some amazing shots. I have seen many Shining videos about the hotel but never as in depth as this. Great work. And I simply love the re-enactments Jessica does. Definitely my go to channel for anything horror. Keep up the great work.
Wow, you guys did really great! That was so much fun! I’ve been to the Ahwahnee Hotel many times since I used to live close to Yosemite. I would usually go in winter, as hiking elsewhere in Yosemite is very limited when it’s snowing. I often took the YARTS bus (schedule is online) from Merced as I don’t like driving with chains. My friends and I would go up for lunch at the Ahwahnee, then walk to Yosemite Lodge and visit Cook Meadow behind Yosemite Lodge. The views are spectacular! The Ahwahnee is very tastefully decorated during Christmas time, especially that huge fireplace. I hope you do get back there during the 🎄Season and enjoy lunch at the Ahwahnee! Thanks for the outstanding video!
Absolutely beautiful :)! I'm so happy you and Jessica took the time to create this video tour. Beautiful, breathless views of the mountains, an elegant hotel - if somebody asks anything about The Shining, answer would be: "Yeah, I've been there." Happy Birthday Michael :)! (By the way. I counted 5 "Jack flash" in the video. Just to let you know I was paying attention:)
I love all of yours and Jessica's vlogs! This was awesome and really gives one a perspective of the creepy interior of this classic movie hotel! Thank you again for your vlogs!!!
OH MY GEEZ!!!!!! This was jaw-droppingly awesome!!!!!! Just wow!!!!! Bucket list item for sure!!!!! Excellent camera work!! I loved every second!! Thanks so much for going through all the financial struggle to show this to us!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! 🖤💀🖤
WOW, I absolutely loved this!! Thank you for showcasing this gorgeous hotel and truly walking us through the "Overlook Hotel" from one of my favorite movies. ❤
My family and I lived in the Central Valley for a decade and we loved visiting Yosemite. We felt so privileged to live that close to nature this pristine. Sadly we never visited the Ahwahnee. And you are right, this place books far out and is very expensive. This is a bucket list item! Once again, thank you both for sharing your experience. Gave me chills!! What an Incredible Birthday Present! Great job Jessica! 🎉
Finally !!! Someone actually stays at the hotel that inspired the interior for the film . Awesome job! 🤘so many people go to the hotel in Colorado not realizing the interiors were inspired by the Awahnee hotel in Yosemite .
It's just past midnight here in NYC, I purposely waited til now to watch and as always, you both did not disappoint! What a gorgeous place! What a kick-ass b'day present! Happy birthday, kind sir. 🎂🎊🎉🎁
That was awesome! Thank you so much. I always felt a bit like 'Oooh naaaaw!' knowing the movie Overlook is just sets (amazing sets of course) and doesn't really exists as such. Seeing the interiors of Ahwahnee was a fantastic treat. Amazing to see what a big inspiration it was for the film. Oh, btw: Happy (very belated I guess) Birthday Mr Grimm!!
One of my favorite “go to” movies when I’m feeling uninspired. Just cinematically beautiful and the music…((swoon))! Everything about this classic is platinum ❤ Would love to see you two do continuations of locations for The Shining with this one as part one! Don’t recall if you’ve been to Timberline Lodge…I bet you have tho. 🤔
Hey, that was a cool video! That hotel is beautiful with that stained glass and the elevator and the actual 🔑 not a key card! Watching The Shining inside The Shining hotel is a fabulous idea! Love the tunnels, and the place has a pretty haunting atmosphere to it. I loved the way you moved through the place so quiet like you really were ghosts, and Jessica's imitation of Tony Red Rum was hilarious! Like being in a time capsule; nice room too! Thanks for the video and Happy Birthday, Michael! One heck of a present you got🎉:)!
Loved the ending of the movie when they pan in to the picture of the fourth of july party at the hotel in the roaring twenties and there is jack, in the center of it! The music playing and they all are living it up! My grandparents were in their twenties around that time and i think of them when i see this part! Its a beautiful hotel but given its past i dont think i would want to stay there, maybe see it, but not spend the night!! You guys were pretty brave going out on the edge of the mountains thru those cave tunnels!! Got the willys when you scanned how high it was !! Great video, well done!
Happy birthday Michael and thank you Jessica for giving this awesome birthday present to Michael and thank you both for creating this video such a beautiful place👻👻🔥🔥
Wow! So many things taken from this hotel. I’m glad there is a place we can go to see the inspirations. I wouldn’t pay that amount of money for one night simply because I’m on disability. I’d love to stay a few nights there and take photos/videos. The rugs are similar design to one of the floors Danny is riding his bike on. Really a great location for a video. It was so enjoyable to see you both enjoy a movie as much as me. I wish Shelley had better treatment. I was so glad you found her and were able to do an interview. I wish I could send her a message of love and inspiration. Anyway this video was brilliant.
This is still one of my favorite movies of all time. And oh wow I was so surprised to find out how much I didn't know about the movie and where it was made. But thanks to you both it was an awesome tour about the Shining. I just loved it and again thank you for taking us on a ride through history that gave me a newfound respect on how they do these movies and where they do them at. I would have never known if it hadn't been for your video and the research that you did on it. So that's awesome I really learned a lot like I always do when I watch your videos. Anyway hope you both have a wonderful day wherever you are. Oh yeah I'm sure you all are aware of the two new movies that are about to come out one of them in October and I think the name of it was called The Exorcist which the previews looked awesome and terrifying and the other one I think is something to do with Dracula LOL yeah another movie that's going to be awesome. I can't wait to see them both in the theaters I think that's the best way to watch any horror movie. And with that being said I will bid you both a Happy Halloween.
I'm so glad I stumbled on your page, because your videos are so much fun to watch! I've actually been to The Ahwahnee Hotel before, but I didn't realize that there was any resemblance to the sets in The Shining, as I hadn't watched the movie in ages at that time. But wow, Kubrick really did take advantage of those interiors to the point where the sets were almost perfect replicas! I'm sorry my home state is so ridiculously expensive, but I'm glad you had the chance to share your visit with us!
As much as I like the topics yall do, I find it just as enjoyable to see you two together. It makes me happy to see the love you both have for each other. Love this video, love yall. Happy Birthday and Happy Halloween 👻🎃
This movie had the most impeccable cast...even little Danny. Shelley should get more credit for her performance than she does.
I feel terrible what happened to her. Such a unique beauty done wrong by Hollywood
@@lucianaromulus1408 Me too...seeing her now though, you can feel sorry for her...or admire the fact that she is still a beautiful soul - despite what that fuc*ed up collection of child touching weirdos tried to do to her.
She was abused both, psychologically and verbally by the film’s Director.
@@ivegasliveentertainmentinc4698 That was overblown & over exaggerated. Kubrick was tough to work with, yes, but he didn't flat out abuse her which has been claimed. It was a tough shoot Scatman Crothers as well. Shelley has regularly spoken highly of Kubrick.
I agree, she was perfect as Wendy.
Wow, I never realised that the interior shots of this hotel were replicated so accurately for the film. What a brilliant birthday treat! Thank you both, for sharing this, really enjoyed it!
My dream was to visit the Overlook Hotel and see by myself the shooting locations. Knowing now that anything was shot in there has been 😞.
Stanley Kubrick was an absolute stickler for attention to detail. It's amazing how he mimicked and recreated the interior of this hotel in the movie The Shining. The movie is in my personal top ten best of all time to date.
Glad Jessica and you had a great time and thanks for sharing. Happy Birthday Grimm!
@intertubicular whats your top 10 Film list? 🌝
Yettttt he missed the helicopter shadow in the shining near the beginning he was filming in being seen on screen
Ok.This was filmed brilliantly. Hands down a hundred percent one of my favorite videos of yours. Well done both of you. Thank you for making it. 🙏🏻🎸

STEVEN KING is a master. Yes.
Once a month?!? Man, get a life. :P
Your documentaries are just getting better and better!! Well done!!
One of my all time favorite movies! You both never fail to amaze. Much respect to both of you.
Perfection!!! I’ve loved reading about how they filmed the blood elevators on the re-created “mini” set, it’s a fascinating read!
I like how you find the way into places, people, events, so calm and respectuf. The narrator tone/cadence reminds me actually of Heather's in The Blair Witch Project, when they shot in Burkittsville, at the very beginning. Beautiful channel.
Hey! That’s a good place for them to visit 🎃
Jessica in the bathtub made me wanna cover my eyes immediately, because that's always the part that scares me from the movie. Great job guys, this was an amazing trip to take with you. Happy birthday!! 🎂🎉💀⚰️
That's the creepiest part in the movie, in my opinion. That old lady in the tub freaked me out when I was a kid.
Yay! Another cool AF video guys! It must have been so freaking amazing to be able to stay there! Awesome bday present I must say! Happy Birthday Michael! 🎉🎂

The sheer excitement and joy you're feeling just being there is infectious. I'm now a follower❤
Great video! Jessica"s glowing hair in the tunnel was a nice touch. The Grimms Rock!

As someone from a third world country on the other side of the world, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving people like me a once in a lifetime tour of these amazing places. I would never able to take in all the minute details of the Overlook hotel had you not taking us for this ride. Thank you again and Happy Birthday.
Amazing - thank you very much for this - this is what people want to see. Well done on comparing to scenes.
Great job! If you haven't been to the east entrance to Glacier National Park to experience the opening driving shots in The Shining make sure you get to see that. It's also incredible and beautiful!!!
You guys are terrific. Huge Kubrick fan, what a pleasure to see
Wow its amazing how much of the hotel stanley incorporated into the film 😮.. amazing thank you! And it also answered many questions on the hotel where SO many people say it WAS filmed, and for you to be honest and tell us they never actually filmed there ! Thank you! 👏🏻👍🏻
I am not sure if you realize this or not but you released this video on what would have been Stanley Kubrick's 95th Birthday. Also I just seen your The Timberline Lodge video from 2 years ago. Great work Grimm.
I truly appreciated your video. If the beauty of that real hotel wasn’t epic enough it’s beyond imagination how much effort went into building the huge movie sets that are inspired from it. Bravo well done!👍🏼
Absolutely chilling to watch and definitely can see the shining as if it’s really being filmed as your walking us through it , yes I definitely see it
Love Stanley Kubrick (rest in peace)
I've been with you since the beginning Michael and this just might be my favorite one. Of course I love the Shining, and Jessica looks amazing walking through the mountain tunnel And opening the shower curtain! Wasn't expecting that. Absolutely great job, my favorite movie of all time.
Thank you for being here since the beginning…and for watching our crazy adventures.
@@grimmlifecollective Absolutely man. I remember the Georgia/Florida days. You're still one of my favorite channels.
@@grimmlifecollectiveI love your channel as well - been watching you guys for a few years. I was in Yosemite National Park last week - it's a gloriously beautiful place. What a special treat to stay at the Overlook Hotel!
The Shining freaked me out as a kid and still a little bit as an adult. Apparently the outside and inside were two different hotels/lodges. Thanks for providing this your and allowing us the live vicariously through your camera.
Absolutely LOVED this video guys! I wasn’t aware that Kubrick took inspiration from the Ahwahnee for the hotel in The Shining. Ya can’t miss the similarities! Yosemite is on my bucket list, and now I know where I’m going to stay! Thanks again for another awesome video! Love you two!
Only the Colorado Lounge is modeled after the Ahwahnee lobby and it isn’t a replica. Other than the lobby the Overlook is complete different. There is no Overlook hotel. The outside shots are taken from the Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood Oregon and the inside of the Overlook was created in Pinewoods Studio in London, UK. This stuff in this video is just a re-creation.
Rest in peace, Shelley Duvall.
Michael and Jessica it was such a honor meeting you both today at midsummer scream you both were the best part of the event . this is Lisa the tall girl 😂 We came home tonight to watch your new videos . I hope to see you both again someday soon . You both are so down to earth and so nice I can tell you both have good hearts . Best wishes on all your endeavors.
I have to say, this is my new favorite video you guys have done! I loved everything about it. I especially loved how thorough you were in showing us different parts of the hotel, even your fancy third floor suite (AKA the Jared Leto suite 🤣). Leading us around at midnight was genius haha. I also loved the spooky tunnel you showed us! There were so many good shots in this video. What an absolutely stunning location! I hope you enjoyed your birthday trip, Michael!!🎃
LOVED this video! Can only imagine how it felt being there, was amazing enough watching along 😁😁
What a treat you have brought to us here in this video. Thank you for all of the hard-work and research you put into this (every video) video ! Happy Birthday, Michael! And hello beautiful Jessica❤
I used to work in an old hotel built in 1924. The elevators had a mind of their own. They would often skip floors and it would feel like you were falling. It was really scary. After I left a maintenance worker was actually killed by the falling elevator.
Damn😳
What a journey for the both of you and taking me along for the ride!
Watching this beautiful video that you both pieced together is fantastic to say the least, I actually felt I was there with you and going back into film history!
Like so many fans I also love this movie it’s an absolute classic.
I have to add when you walked past those massive pillars I had goosebumps as I imagined JACK TORRANCE approaching with that axe.
Very creepy indeed……….
Again thank you so much to the both of you for taking the time and
Immense efforts for bringing this move the SHINING back to life.
Thank you ❤
Best actor (Jack Nickolson), best director (Stanley Kubrick), best author (Stephen King) in my opinion ❤❤❤
Amazing, thank you both for taken us with you. And HBD to you 🎉
One of my favourite videos you have done. Amazing shots! And wow, the hotel really is one of the most beautiful hotels I have seen!
Great video! Good job! Thanks😊
Y’all are unstoppable! Love the content and editing!
This was wonderful to see in 4K .
Another amazing production. ❤
Brilliantly filmed with some amazing shots. I have seen many Shining videos about the hotel but never as in depth as this. Great work. And I simply love the re-enactments Jessica does. Definitely my go to channel for anything horror. Keep up the great work.
One of the best films ever made. I watch it every year in winter.
I love that the hotel's exterior shots were of Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood in Oregon but the interior was filmed elsewhere! :)
You are correct
Wow, you guys did really great! That was so much fun! I’ve been to the Ahwahnee Hotel many times since I used to live close to Yosemite. I would usually go in winter, as hiking elsewhere in Yosemite is very limited when it’s snowing. I often took the YARTS bus (schedule is online) from Merced as I don’t like driving with chains. My friends and I would go up for lunch at the Ahwahnee, then walk to Yosemite Lodge and visit Cook Meadow behind Yosemite Lodge. The views are spectacular!
The Ahwahnee is very tastefully decorated during Christmas time, especially that huge fireplace. I hope you do get back there during the 🎄Season and enjoy lunch at the Ahwahnee! Thanks for the outstanding video!
Absolutely beautiful :)!
I'm so happy you and Jessica took the time to create this video tour.
Beautiful, breathless views of the mountains, an elegant hotel - if somebody asks anything about The Shining, answer would be: "Yeah, I've been there."
Happy Birthday Michael :)!
(By the way. I counted 5 "Jack flash" in the video. Just to let you know I was paying attention:)
LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie !! A TRUE Classic !! GOD bless all the viewers !!
I love all of yours and Jessica's vlogs! This was awesome and really gives one a perspective of the creepy interior of this classic movie hotel! Thank you again for your vlogs!!!
OH MY GEEZ!!!!!! This was jaw-droppingly awesome!!!!!! Just wow!!!!! Bucket list item for sure!!!!! Excellent camera work!! I loved every second!! Thanks so much for going through all the financial struggle to show this to us!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! 🖤💀🖤
I love videos like this staying at the places where movies were made. Happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃👻
This is fantastic! Always wanted to visit here, nice work guys!👍👍
U guy's take what it takes to go to any location on making these videos absolutely splendid work 👻👌
They are the best
@@lifeisfundisney6029 most definitely 👍
WOW, I absolutely loved this!! Thank you for showcasing this gorgeous hotel and truly walking us through the "Overlook Hotel" from one of my favorite movies. ❤
My family and I lived in the Central Valley for a decade and we loved visiting Yosemite. We felt so privileged to live that close to nature this pristine. Sadly we never visited the Ahwahnee. And you are right, this place books far out and is very expensive. This is a bucket list item! Once again, thank you both for sharing your experience. Gave me chills!! What an Incredible Birthday Present! Great job Jessica! 🎉
Finally !!! Someone actually stays at the hotel that inspired the interior for the film . Awesome job! 🤘so many people go to the hotel in Colorado not realizing the interiors were inspired by the Awahnee hotel in Yosemite .
The reason to go to the hotel in Colorado is because that's where Stephen King wrote the book and what inspired him.
Very nice video, beautifully shot with vibrant visuals. I enjoyed that morning view with the mountains in the background.
It's just past midnight here in NYC, I purposely waited til now to watch and as always, you both did not disappoint! What a gorgeous place! What a kick-ass b'day present! Happy birthday, kind sir. 🎂🎊🎉🎁
Did you get stuck in any of the storm? Showed all those trees down in Bensonhurst.
@@samanthab1923 I live in Northern Manhattan. Far from Bensonhurst. Just a few rumbles of thunder. No more.
That was awesome! Thank you so much. I always felt a bit like 'Oooh naaaaw!' knowing the movie Overlook is just sets (amazing sets of course) and doesn't really exists as such. Seeing the interiors of Ahwahnee was a fantastic treat. Amazing to see what a big inspiration it was for the film. Oh, btw: Happy (very belated I guess) Birthday Mr Grimm!!
One of my favorite “go to” movies when I’m feeling uninspired. Just cinematically beautiful and the music…((swoon))! Everything about this classic is platinum ❤ Would love to see you two do continuations of locations for The Shining with this one as part one! Don’t recall if you’ve been to Timberline Lodge…I bet you have tho. 🤔
Wonderful video guys thank you so so much The Shining is a masterpiece
Incredible how the set recreated this hotel. I used to live near Elstree studios, they are huge. Very interesting!
Very cool 😎
Happy Birthday Michael, one heck of a present. Love all the details you found for us.
Hey, that was a cool video! That hotel is beautiful with that stained glass and the elevator and the actual 🔑 not a key card! Watching The Shining inside The Shining hotel is a fabulous idea! Love the tunnels, and the place has a pretty haunting atmosphere to it. I loved the way you moved through the place so quiet like you really were ghosts, and Jessica's imitation of Tony Red Rum was hilarious! Like being in a time capsule; nice room too! Thanks for the video and Happy Birthday, Michael! One heck of a present you got🎉:)!
Loved the ending of the movie when they pan in to the picture of the fourth of july party at the hotel in the roaring twenties and there is jack, in the center of it! The music playing and they all are living it up! My grandparents were in their twenties around that time and i think of them when i see this part! Its a beautiful hotel but given its past i dont think i would want to stay there, maybe see it, but not spend the night!! You guys were pretty brave going out on the edge of the mountains thru those cave tunnels!! Got the willys when you scanned how high it was !! Great video, well done!
Happy birthday Michael and thank you Jessica for giving this awesome birthday present to Michael and thank you both for creating this video such a beautiful place👻👻🔥🔥
Wow! So many things taken from this hotel. I’m glad there is a place we can go to see the inspirations. I wouldn’t pay that amount of money for one night simply because I’m on disability. I’d love to stay a few nights there and take photos/videos. The rugs are similar design to one of the floors Danny is riding his bike on. Really a great location for a video. It was so enjoyable to see you both enjoy a movie as much as me. I wish Shelley had better treatment. I was so glad you found her and were able to do an interview. I wish I could send her a message of love and inspiration. Anyway this video was brilliant.
This is still one of my favorite movies of all time. And oh wow I was so surprised to find out how much I didn't know about the movie and where it was made. But thanks to you both it was an awesome tour about the Shining. I just loved it and again thank you for taking us on a ride through history that gave me a newfound respect on how they do these movies and where they do them at. I would have never known if it hadn't been for your video and the research that you did on it. So that's awesome I really learned a lot like I always do when I watch your videos. Anyway hope you both have a wonderful day wherever you are. Oh yeah I'm sure you all are aware of the two new movies that are about to come out one of them in October and I think the name of it was called The Exorcist which the previews looked awesome and terrifying and the other one I think is something to do with Dracula LOL yeah another movie that's going to be awesome. I can't wait to see them both in the theaters I think that's the best way to watch any horror movie. And with that being said I will bid you both a Happy Halloween.
I'm so glad I stumbled on your page, because your videos are so much fun to watch! I've actually been to The Ahwahnee Hotel before, but I didn't realize that there was any resemblance to the sets in The Shining, as I hadn't watched the movie in ages at that time. But wow, Kubrick really did take advantage of those interiors to the point where the sets were almost perfect replicas!
I'm sorry my home state is so ridiculously expensive, but I'm glad you had the chance to share your visit with us!
As much as I like the topics yall do, I find it just as enjoyable to see you two together. It makes me happy to see the love you both have for each other. Love this video, love yall. Happy Birthday and Happy Halloween 👻🎃
@officialGrimmlifecollective_- take your scam some where else
@officialGrimmlifecollective_- you have already been reported to RUclips
Greatest movie in cinematic history. Great job.
Agreed!!!!!!
Wow! That tunnel is amazing and super scary! The view was awesome! That hotel and those mountains, breathtaking! Way to go!
This is so cool! Thank you for sharing. And happy late birthday!
Hopefully you guys were able to experience the park as well. It is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth.
