[@Sparky_STL]

As an actor at lemp I can say that walking through the building without lights & sound is one of the scariest things in STL

[@MossTheBoss]

That place was creepy enough with the lights on and everything turned off, I can't imagine how terrifying it is when fully operational. I'm glad you took your time to really explore the place, it's amazing!

[@karentucker2161]

I heard that!!!

[@gaveintothedarkness]

I think what makes this super creepy is how quiet it is down there. No one else around, quiet, just yourselves and the props. This is def a place I wouldnt want to walk through alone.

[@jessieo5757]

No matter how crappy I feel, how tired, how exhausted. When grimmlifecollective uploads a video I know i'm going to feel better. Thanks for the awesome content.

[@jasonmeador7861]

Yes! 💀

[@puppude]

Good spooky vibes :----)

[@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers]

Neglected to say…this is the *best* haunted house you and Jessica have shown or any I e been to. This took a lot of work! It needs special recognition.

[@OSSCYT]

Id say creepy world was better, but the fact you get to go into the underground ill throw my money into it every year

[@shannonfitz]

Michael and Jessica have become Urban Explorers of the Strange and Spooky! That place is Fangtastic! The darkness and silence would make me anxious. Thank you for sharing. Happy Halloween 🎃🧡

[@lisajohnson1528]

I've been terrified since as a child from anything life like,wax works, show room dummies, mechanical laughing clowns,hated ghost trains and I'm from the uk! Yet when I watch all your amazing videos I feel like you've taken me under your vampire wings and i just appreciate all that is horror with you pair and feel safe x thanks for all you do this was truly awesome the elevator shaft was really spooky and creepy. this should be a tv show over here but glad for KZbin thank you both x

[@Shag471]

Hooray! So happy you got to go here! ❤️ I went on media night the first year the haunt opened in 1995. I was staying just down the street at the time with my grandmother. Her place has been haunted for decades and she seems to think it might be due to the brewery and mansion being so close. The caves and tunnels actually extend beneath her house and believes this might be why we’ve had so much activity.

[@travisrichards6162]

Really like how it appeared that they kept a bunch of artifacts from the building, put them on shelves with screens over them so they could be part of the attraction while keeping to the history of the site. Great stuff!

[@JustoFNG]

BIG SHOUTOUT TO MY UNCLE @4:08! I remember when it collapsed, I was over there at the time and we thought it was an earthquake. Crazy as hell when we walked outside.

[@jestersly4963]

Just found this & hoping Michael & Jessica are still getting notifications on it lol. My Uncle’s built the original haunted house there in the early ‘90’s & those wooden stairs u walked down were put in by them, they were the exit back then. The freight elevator was what was used to bring patrons down into the haunted house originally. They owned the haunted house from I believe from ‘92 - ‘97/‘98. As we were building it, a friend & I went exploring very late one night down there & came across a old fire door that was cabled shut but u could peek in just enuff to get ur head in & a flashlight & we noticed the cable was attached to a pillar, we went & got crowbars & pried it open enuff to get in & found the Lemp caves, needless to say, we explored them completely for like the next 4 hours or so! It was amazing & no one had been in them in prolly over 50/60 yrs. The remains of the swimming pool were still there, along with the theater & many other things down there. We found a path that lead all the way down to a dead end which is where highway 55 is now, we were so deep underground that my cigarette went out & my lighter wouldn’t work 😂 My Uncle also took John Pertzborn ( a tv reporter ) down into the caves & it was aired on his show Pertzborn’s People! My Uncle almost got sued over it. Jess u stated in the video u worked in the haunted house back in the day…. Was it Haunted Caverns of the Lemp Brewery? Really curious lol & great video BTW 😉

[@farblefumble]

Thanks for doing these. I can't go in haunts anymore due to an injury. It gives people like me a chance to see them.

[@MasterTheNEC]

Now, I can imagine actors being all intertwined in those rooms.....add that to the history and it looks like an amazing haunted house. Nice little nooks and cracks for good scare actors to hide.....looks amazing. Thank you two for an inside look for folks like us who will never get a chance to attend it during the season.

[@Shag471]

Hooray! So happy you got to go here! ❤️ I went on media night the first year the haunt opened in 1995. I was staying just down the street at the time with my grandmother. Her place has been haunted for decades and she seems to think it might be due to the brewery and mansion being so close. The caves and tunnels actually extend beneath her house and believes this might be why we’ve had so much activity. Those large rooms were to store beer back before automatic refrigeration was possible. The caves under St. Louis attracted William Lemp from Germany because he could use them to make lagger beer. There are hidden caves all over the metro area, most which access has been removed.

[@ameliarhodes5000]

Adopt me as your step-grand aunt and take me with you! Thank you for sharing this adventure. So glad you were able to also give us a taste of the haunt lights and the off-limits areas. Not only was this an amazing adventure it was a documentation of history that may be gone too soon.

[@chrisharjo3875]

Yeah, Grimms! It's always a good day when you post a new video. It is Monday and I'm at work, so I'm counting down the minutes until I get home and can watch this on my big screen TV, as your videos deserve. Can't wait to see it.

[@funnygirl3444]

I spent the night in the Lemp mansion years ago and was sick to my stomach the whole time. Once I left I was 100% better. I’m very sensitive to things and sometimes it sucks. BEAUTIFUL home and love the history! Great video AGAIN!!!❤️❤️👻👻

[@RobHellfire666]

That was absolutely amazing!!! Holy crap!!!!! I'd love to see all that, feel all that, with my own senses. Thank you so much for taking us on that journey. You guys are amazing. So much love and respect to you both..🌷😎🤘

[@mephistopheles7377]

Needed to comment before I finished the video. Thanks for the awesome vids. You two are keeping me entertained during this trying time. Stay safe and much love to you and Jess. 🤞✌️

[@deborahgibson9039]

Wow, what an awesome haunted house. Thanks for sharing your visit with us!

[@abel-pacheco]

That´s what I call a grimm adventure! It's the scariest and bloodiest thing I've ever seen. The details are impressive. I also had some anxiety if any of those mannequins moved! The fact that the place is really haunted makes even more terrifying, obviously it's haunted... Happy Halloween!🎃

[@damattice23]

Love these lighted walk throughs. Every time I go through a haunted house I want to linger and look at everything.

[@kdt314]

Many of the old tunnels expanded across downtown. My mom told me some entrances were near the Mississippi river (now closed up) This occurred maybe about 5 years ago, a sink hole opened up on 6th Street and there was a old tunnel underneath. Someone's car got stuck in it, it was crazy! So whenever you drive or walk around downtown St Louis, there are tunnels below you.

[@lisabrown6280]

What an amazing location from which to do a video. Love what you do. Thanks for taking me to places that I would never get to visit otherwise. Also I love how respectful you are with every place you go. Have a spooky day!

[@brianoutdoorlife7788]

That...was...awesome, when Jessica turned around in that congregation, I almost soiled myself🤣 Another brilliant day with the everlasting Grimmlifecollective. Thank you for taking me along, thoroughly enjoyed that.🙏❤🎃 Take care, stay safe.

[@annabelleripoll2799]

Jesus Christ, Jessica, you scared the shit out of me when you turned around in the church!!! LOL! I know it was slowly, but GEEZ!!!

[@statesrights01]

Absolutely wonderful, who ever set this place up needs the Oscar. ❤️

[@Okki76]

I've always loved visiting caves, and caverns...How creepy, cool was this place...Thanks for bringing me along..it was like I was really there...besides freezing.

[@drewsully421]

What a fascinatingly creepy experience! So cool!

[@SpookYouLaterz]

That was a privilege...I so would loved to go through that. Awesomeness...👻

[@msheline]

That is so cool. Thank you guys for sharing! I love all the places you two get to check out and film for us. Makes me want to go to some of these places really bad. hehe...Love you guys!

[@loribabineaux6036]

I love when Michael refers to Jessica as "Baby Goul!"

[@johnsiran2810]

Nice too see a couple share a love for the macabre and all things creepy! Very humble and honestly cute!

[@MattyMosArcade]

Damn. Didnt expect to see you do a video local time me. Very nice!

[@lauraellis84]

Thanks so much for this video! Growing up in St. Louis you always heard the stories about the caves but you only got to go unless you went to the haunt. I had all of my fingers and bones crossed you’d go here when I saw you were in St. Louis.

[@scottryan305]

That wasn't the actual caves. That's just in the basements. There are 26 buildings, many have atleast 1 level underground, but some have 2. They almost all connect to each other. But the real cave system there is only 1 way in and out from the basements. It was probably blocked off completely when the haunted house was built. I worked there in 2009-10. They were still getting permits and just starting the haunted house job when I left. Looks like the built a lot down there. It was creepier how it was. I always said just give people a dim flashlight and walk around, people would pay $30 for that. Haha

[@tarapulliam3317]

All I can say is wow! That was amazing. Thank you for taking your time and really showing us the place. Great video as always! :-)

[@dannymoore2534]

hey JESSICA and MICHEAL have a wonderful week you to are amazing people

[@cindydianelegge8447]

The ultimate spook adventure. Thanks for bringing us along. Awesome place.

[@hermanlopez2945]

Thank you for the walk-through I learned of the Lamb family and mansion through ghost adventures.

[@PS-fb1je]

Always looking forward to you guys uploading and have loved every adventure since discovering grimmlifecollective! episode was great and spooky can't wait for the next one🧡

[@MsAnperez]

You guys are amazing that k you for keeping it spooky all year long💀🕷🕸🦇

[@GinaSigillito]

I’ve been to the Lemp Mansion for dinner and then for the Haunted House. The second floor of the mansion has the most unsettling energy.

[@jeffreyhahler3022]

When I went to the attraction back in the ninety's they had a person pop out at you from behind a wall with a camera set up to capture your picture. Scared me so bad my eyes crossed, it was AWESOME !

[@andreabruson5558]

I wonder how long and how much effort it takes to build and set up something so detailed like this place. Every prop on every inch of every corner is strategically positioned to look very realistic and, if you think about it, a lot of that would never been even noticed when it's on, because of the darkness. This is an actual museum of horror art!

[@Jdblackerby]

Back when I was in college, before the haunted attraction took over, they would fill the tunnels with fog around Halloween and you would take an old freight elevator down to the tunnels. There you could walk through the underground brewery in the fog, pretty much all the way back to the mansion if I remember right. They didn't need actors or props down there. It was terrifying on its own. I've been through the current haunted attraction as well and it was a blast. Tons of fog and very disorienting!

[@laurajames9379]

I remember an episode of ghost adventures going to this place. Bet it was creepy being in there by yourselves, your very brave to go down there AND turn the light off haha

[@triciag3311]

Even though I live in the suburbs of St. Louis now, this is the neighborhood I grew up in. I've never been inside but it's so creepy! Great video!

[@angelalinderman9985]

This is so fun! Very spooky, cool, so much history... I wish I was with you guys! Such a grand lovely old building! Thanks for another awesome Grimm Adventure!🖤💀🕸🕷🌚🎃👻

[@iamnevrhere6244]

Wow. That was awesome! Thank you for sharing that superscaryness with all of us. Stay safe. Can't wait to see your next video!

[@janetcraft]

This has to be the spookiest scary video tour I've seen! What makes it special is that it's a REAL building where people once worked. The building itself is well structured and solid. I am amazed that so much detail went into creating the figures, rooms and hallways. I noticed something that caught my eye: At 7:25 in the corner I see a toilet, a bathtub (?) and beside it, sitting on a stool is what looks to be an old typewriter. If that is a typewriter, well then, I better take out my typing ribbon and type in my SAVE spot because I may want to go back and continue with my journey :) Thank you Grimm for keeping me at the edge of my seat!

[@kentuckyChic]

MO has a lot of underground caverns.. I’ve been in a few but don’t know anything about the mansion so I’m Happy you’re covering this😁👍 Thank you both 👏🏻👏🏻♥️♥️

[@rosemadder5547]

The tunnel after the "last door we can go through", reminded me of the train tunnel in Ghostbusters. "Winnnnston" Beautiful video

[@paulthompson4332]

Very creepy, yet awesome set up of this place. Honestly, at the beginning as the two of you were walking through the dark basement section, I was thinking of the Blair Witch and was waiting for you to shine the light, and suddenly there'd be a person standing quietly facing the wall in the distance. As always, enjoyed your video

[@henrymann8122]

I really enjoy this channel because you two keep my favorite holiday all year 'round relevant. Thank you for posting

[@Strongbad251]

Happy Halloween! This is so fantastic! Such another fantastic adventure to start a Monday off!

[@RDsRCReviews]

This is so cool that you got exclusive access to the underground tunnels. I've heard that the Lemp Family had a pool in the tunnel that was heated by the brewery's boilers. That would be cool to see if it still exists down there. Next time you visit STL you should go check out Haunted Alton and the statue of the tallest man to ever live. I'm sure Jessica knows all about that.

[@KeithSkippyB]

I actually remember watching an episode of Ghost Adventures when they investigated that place, and I gotta say it's such a remarkable building ❤😊

[@vixenpc7874]

Lemp Mansion is amazing too...I have a ton of pictures from there.

[@momto7ify]

I do too. We are planning on going back

[@vixenpc7874]

@@momto7ify yes I lived in Fenton for 7 months lots of trips there I love old houses and if you get a chance check out the manor next door too it's amazing...

[@momto7ify]

Will definitely check it out. We were attacked by a ghost. It is something I don't want to feel again. My daughter was shoved to the ground outside and I was attacked on the second floor when we were looking through the rooms . Very strange feeling until we left

[@GaryGreenway]

I really liked this one. Good job arranging this tour. Nice progression of your story too.

[@CeriGoff]

Now you are talking, a building with a bit of age used so beautifully. Really enjoyed seeing the undercroft area you explored first and appreciated the way they used the building to frame the scenes. Organ room made me laugh, organs everywhere. Loved the horned ones and the details of the carving on the victims. Brilliant video Grimms and so well filmed.

[@gruftwurm7375]

That Place Looks so wonderful. Great Video

This was so crazy!! Those are some of the best Halloween mannequins I have every seen!! Thanks for the tour!!😈☠️👹🎃👻

[@wesleysale1052]

So nice to see they are still running haunted house at the Brewery. I went thru the place about 20 years ago. Really creepy place and the tunnels go under most of the buildings there. The mansion is haunted for real, but access is limited. Was nice eating lunch at the mansion.

[@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers]

Very interesting! I was expecting to see a small group of female vampires slowly emerging, softly beckoning you…coming closer, arms outstretched, smiling lovingly… I was also worried about collapse. 😳

I have wanted to see inside of that building for sometime. Thanks for exploring and showing the sites as you go. HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃!!!

[@CactusAtlas]

Cool video! My wife and I are from St. Louis originally and never visited here. Surprising since it was during the height of my goth days. Makes me miss that town. Anyway, those props in the haunted house are fantastic!!! And absolutely frightening!

[@yamato-zi7yk]

Great video. I took a haunted tour through there last summer and the guide showed us a white room in one of the basements where the killer may have kept his victims. A lot of this is hard to verify since its hard to find a good source through. I'm guessing that freight shaft you showed heads to the Cherokee cave section. That's where you will find the remains of a pool and a theater the Lemps used. I really wish they would do occasional tours down there, I'd sign up in a heart beat.

[@pamela5250]

I wish the Cherokee caves were open. Supposedly they filled them for the interstate expansion but I’m not sure if I believe that or not.

[@OSSCYT]

Im big into history of the civil war and haunted places, and I wish I could go see this!

[@yamato-zi7yk]

@@pamela5250 The original entrance was filled in / removed for the highway but the majority is still down there. Most of the entrances have been sealed off but you can still get down there through the brewery basement under one of the buildings.

[@dennismaple3676]

Had Thanksgiving at the Lemp Mansion. The Lemp Brewery is the best haunted house in St. Louis when its running! Very cool!

[@LazyHubbStudios]

I love it when haunt animatronics have clearly been used and abused for years. Several times in this video, you can see duct tape repairs and pool noodle arms on the animatronics. You can also see ripped latex with the foam showing through. And various repairs on the props. I think that can make them more creepy. I love it.

[@jasunhuerta5587]

the Lemp Mansion, is such a great haunted attraction (what CrazY history)!.... Loved it!.... I have to say, you scared me with that foundation issue on the side of the building (you GriMMs, be careful)... I loved seeing that old type writer in the part that was pitch black, as well--- so damned old!.... Thanks, GriMMs for bringing us along..... :^)""""""
