This movie had the most impeccable cast...even little Danny. Shelley should get more credit for her performance than she does.

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!

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 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.

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!

As a huge fan of The Shining, I usually watch it at least once a month, this was an amazing video. Thanks Grimm!

The lack of wifi probably gives a more Shining-esque feel

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!

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.

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.

Perfection!!! I’ve loved reading about how they filmed the blood elevators on the re-created “mini” set, it’s a fascinating read!

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 👍

Incredible how the set recreated this hotel. I used to live near Elstree studios, they are huge. Very interesting!

One of my all time favorite movies! You both never fail to amaze. Much respect to both of you.

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.

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 💚🖤🎃🐈‍⬛

Loved this episode. Waiting until midnight was a cool thing to do, really added to the ambiance. Loved!

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!

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.

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 💀🖤

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

*Holy crap you NAILED this one SO amazingly!!! You're truly gifted!*

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!

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.

Awesome video! Great to hear you’re hopping over the pond to the UK too, look forward to the videos ✌️

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 🎃

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!!

Your documentaries are just getting better and better!! Well done!!

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!!!

Great video! Jessica"s glowing hair in the tunnel was a nice touch. The Grimms Rock!

Amazing - thank you very much for this - this is what people want to see. Well done on comparing to scenes.

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 !

I did a film project at the Ahwahnee in October 2019. I was fortunate enough to be able to recreate parts of the Shining for two hours with the park service's blessing from 3-5am. That was fun! I haven't used the footage yet, but I hope to one day!

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!! 🎂🎉💀⚰️

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.

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! 🎉🎂

Happy Birthday Mike! And thank you Jessica for giving him such an amazing birthday present.

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. 🙏🏻🎸

Timeless. Stunning.

U guy's take what it takes to go to any location on making these videos absolutely splendid work 👻👌

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!

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 🤘

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” 😂

love you guys. Another brilliant video..!! sending much love from the U.K. 🙂 I used to watch this with my Dad but as an adult i became a total wimp lol i can't watch on my own . Top film though ...!!

I love that the hotel's exterior shots were of Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood in Oregon but the interior was filmed elsewhere! :)

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)

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!

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!

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

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)

Your videos are so well made and brilliantly filmed. Thank you so much for making these. 😊

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 .

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! 👏🏻👍🏻

Outstanding Video. Thank you Michael and Jessica for posting it.. Hello Lloyd a Little slow tonight. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

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!

LOVED this video! Can only imagine how it felt being there, was amazing enough watching along 😁😁

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.

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👻👻🔥🔥

This is so amazing. What you do is Filmhistory. So much respect! Love it.

When Jessica was walking through that cave i was so afraid of a bath to appear flying at the both of you. Omg too cute when Jessica was making her little finger speak like in the movie.

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!

You two are masters of documentary, I love this channel, thank you for all you do for these fantastic videos!

This is a a EPIC BIRTHDAY GIFT!!! Your editing is brilliant Mr.Grimm. Great video🎥💜🖤 Love Love Love this movie.

Nicely done, as usual. I was confused when I started watching this, because for some reason I thought it was going to be a visit to the actual hotel that Stephen King stayed at when he got the idea for The Shining. But, that hotel is in Estes Park, Colorado (The Stanley Hotel). Stephen king got the idea because he was staying at the hotel towards the end of the season, when the hotel was actually preparing to close up for the winter. He wondered what it would be like to stay at the hotel for the 4 months that it was closed down, with no way in or out.

I've been to Yosemite several times and I think it is the most beautiful place on Earth!😊❤

Michael & Jessica, can tell how much this meant to you both. Excitement and in awe of everything. The stay was expensive, but if you got out of it as much or more than what you expected / wanted, then definitely worth it. This like, the 3rd time I have seen this video, love it. Would have loved to of met you when you came over here, maybe one day. Lee UK

This was so much fun. Thank you for taking the time to show and explain stuff. ❤👍🏼

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.

i had been researching the shining recently and stumbled across your video. hands down this is awesome! thank you for sharing this.

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!

micheal and jessica as always a really cool as heckings vlog bless the pair of u for bringing us along cool as the wind cool as cats or bats and a really good happy halloween tou u both god bless the grimms 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

Well, I stayed at Buffalo Bills house in PA after seeing your adventures there…… and I already have a small list of places to stay/visit. Guess I’m adding this place to it. 😂😂😂

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 ❤

The sheer excitement and joy you're feeling just being there is infectious. I'm now a follower❤

Oh my god yes! Happy birthday to you, Michael, and Jessica is the most awesome wife for planning this for your birthday. Such a gorgeous and historical place. I can't wait to stay there with my family someday. I want to do the same thing, just walk around at night when everyone is asleep and just see if I can dance with dead, in the golden room, with a glass of whiskey at my lips. Cheers 🥃🖤❤🌷🌹🥰

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. 🎂🎊🎉🎁

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.

This was wonderful to see in 4K . Another amazing production. ❤

Another one down guys. Awesome and so fun, just we're there with you too. And the fact, you hung out with The, Shelly Duvall makes it more amazing. Thank you for this Grimm Adventure and our hearts from the Grimm Life Family are with you on your travels overseas. And a very Happy Halloween to Michael and Jessica. 🎃 💀 👻 👺

Y’all are unstoppable! Love the content and editing!

awesome vlog tour Overlook Hotel The Shining, tunnels to the edge so cool 😎 Happy Birthday Michael 🎉

When Jessica sat in the tub and opened the curtain, it took me right back to when I was 8 and watched that scene. Scared me so bad I ran out of the room. I can’t wait to go there now

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. 🤔

This was amazing! I'm a huge fan too. Happiest of Birthdays to you Michael.🎉🥳🎉

The Shining is one of my favorite movies as well . Y’all are so lucky . I enjoy living vicariously through you watching all your videos on here . I’m a big fan really.

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 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!!🎃

Yea I am obsessed with the Shinning too!!! Wow nice so beautiful!!! Yes Spooky and beautiful!!! 🎃💚🖤👻🎃 Happy Halloween 🎃 You both are Amazing thanks for sharing I love you guys 💚🖤👻🎃

I clicked on this immediately ! Overlook Hotel is one hotel i can never forget !

Wonderful video guys thank you so so much The Shining is a masterpiece

I love videos like this staying at the places where movies were made. Happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃👻

Excellent timing. My fiancée and I just booked a night at The Stanley, in one of the haunted rooms. It was the hotel that inspired King to write the book. Wish us luck!

the set designers were master class to recreate with such detail.

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.

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❤

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!

I have been going to Yosemite since I was a little kid. I love that place. I have stayed at the Ahwahnee Hotel. It is pricy ($500+ per night) but definitely worth the experience. Great video highlighting the beauty of Yosemite.

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!!
