Flowers in the Attic (1987) Filming Locations - Then and Now 4K

[@andrewreich283]

I was introduced to this film WAY to young. I’m 25 today, though I truly feel I’ve lived through the good ole days. Due to my love and knowledge for cult classics. I think I started watching this in 2001 when I was either 4 or 5. I remember watching the Hollow Man, the Fly, Child’s play, IT, Flowers In the attic, Duel, Sleepstalker, around that age.

[@robd1329]

I saw it at my friends house when i was 9yrs old

[@PatrickDKing]

Same here, I was about 5 or so when I watched it, and lone too...eek. I just recently watched it and as emotionless as I typically am to modern day horror, gory, scary movies...I realized that I shouldn't have seen this movie at that age. The psychological torture of the kids, by their own family, the abandonment from their mother, and the death of the mother is quite intense and quite brilliant too...just not the best to watch so young.

[@KingOfGaymes]

I got freaked out by it at 23, I can’t imagine watching it as a child that young

[@jackilynpyzocha662]

I read it as a post-grad student in high school, it chilled me!

[@corrinafrench7709]

I remember ordering Flowers in the Attic in the 1980’s through Book of the month club. Your first order was buy one and get 13 free. I eventually had the whole series.

[@tylerroark486]

I have a special bond with this movie, me and my mom used to watch it together all the time.

[@BiancaMH]

Love VC Andrews and her books 😀😀😀

[@Liz-cmc313]

I was reading her books in the mid 80s. Became my favorite author. RIP. Her ghost writer was pretty good but you could see the difference in writing. The movies never did justice to the books imo. Very cool you did this, kinda surprised me. 🖤🖤

[@ilanarhian]

I read some of the ghost writer ones but got bored, just don't think they were as good.

[@mikaw4817]

I read the books after I watched the movie. The book was much better imo.

[@Liz-cmc313]

@@ilanarhian you can definitely it wasn't Virginia.

[@Liz-cmc313]

@@mikaw4817 ... Books are always better, imo

[@willfade7994]

Thank you for doing a homage to the film! I’m a longtime fan of V.C. Andrews. My favorite series has always been the Dollanganger family series but my favorite book is ‘Garden of Shadows’ which is actually the story of the Grandmother in ‘Flowers in the Attic.’ The book was written mostly by V.C. Andrews’ ghostwriter as she’d started on it shortly before she passed away. I first read it when I was about 13 and have read the series several times over the years…. ‘Garden of Shadows’ pretty much explains why the Grandmother was so bitter! No one could’ve played that Grandmother better than Louise Fletcher though! She was brilliant. It was those very stories, along with reading Stephen King, that inspired me to become a writer and I always wondered where they filmed ‘Flowers in The Attic’. Thanks for another great video! 🌹

[@joanna7350]

I feel bad for Olivia in the book. I feel so connected to Cathy, always have.

[@octoberdawn1087]

I agree. That is my absolute favorite book in the series. It was so good. I read the whole book in one day and I'm dyslexic 💜💜💜

[@TopSecretInformations]

'Flowers in the Attic' & 'Petals on the Wind' were the only two in the series I read. I'm kind of amped to read 'Garden of Shadows' now.

[@CatnessStrange]

The 80's version of Flowers In The Attic is one of my guilty pleasures. Love watching this film while eating unhealthy snacks. I really enjoyed this video. Beautiful and haunting location. Thank you so much for taking us along with you. 🖤

[@prd2bevgy]

I’m more into movies than books and this has always been a classic favorite. I think it is very well done especially Louise Fletcher’s part. Love you guys and the 80s, keep the goodness coming! 👏🖤🥀

[@kelgoneimy]

I was 3 when this came out. This movie had me and my sisters TERRIFIED. Thank you for this!

[@joanna7350]

I love the soundtrack to the original movie, it's so haunting and beautiful! The book is so disturbing. It's one of my favorites and I've read it probably 10 times. I'm a huge fan of it.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Love Flowers in the Attic . Great job tracking down the spots

[@grimmlifecollective]

Thank you. Hope you are doing well out there on the road.

[@willhan3195]

Hi Michael and Jessica! - Great video on Flowers in the Attic! The Name of the house in Massachusetts is called " Cranes Castle" in Ipswich MA. This Mansion is not far at all from Salem MA. This was a summer estate built by the Crane plumbing family from Chicago. Cranes Castle was also the house in the movie "Witches of Eastwick" . Ironically the developer for Beverly Hills named the area after Beverly Farms in Massachusetts. Ipswich is not far from Beverly. I think a sign for Beverly shows up in the Movie "Manchester By the Sea". Manchester by the Sea is a about a guy that is a Trustee that lives in a brick building in Quincy MA. that drives up Route 128 to do something he is going to have regrets about! Isn't Greystone in "All of Me" with Steve Martin and Lilly Tomlin?

[@georgiasmith3286]

Omg I was bored and got this notification I’m so excited! Thanks Grimm & Baby Goul♥️

[@grimmlifecollective]

Hope you enjoy

[@bkkorner]

Yeah, me too! They always brighten up my day!

[@medicatedmenorah]

People always took me as a weirdo for saying this but Flowers in the Attic is one of my favorite movies.

[@colleenochs4728]

What a beautiful place , used to love reading VC Andrews books

[@matthewfarmer6830]

Hey Mike this movie is like 30 years ago 1987 lol I was in the 5th grade ready to be graduating. The movie lots of memories thanks for sharing. 🎥👍😎 Stay awesome 🎄☃️

[@grimmlifecollective]

Thank you for watching Matthew

[@Missy-vm8fr]

One of my favorite movies…not to mention, the music was hauntingly beautiful!

[@maryannwheeler5403]

I loved reading VC Andrews books when I was a teenager. And when they were made into movies I was so happy. Flowers in the Attic is my ultimate favorite. Thank you for taking us along on this filming location in LA. I really enjoyed it

[@meganryan476]

Michael, you are so good at what you do. You explain and have the arrows to point things out which is so nice to see things more clearly. Always love your videos, ty for sharing with us.😃💀🖤

[@christophermaulden733]

Thank you both for this behind the scenes movie magic . The Mansion is beautiful . So is the Pasadena Historic Society Museum . Beautiful architecture and gardens .

[@kwu2242]

Such an uplifting movie. A real light in the midst of dark times.

[@KattMurr]

Uplifting? I didn't get that....

[@blowdollybetty]

Has to be sarcasm. VC Andrews is never uplifting.

[@ccmcgee9062]

Love this video!! I must have seen this movie 100 times!

[@brianlynch649]

No word of a lie, favourite channel on KZbin. Currently going through all the old videos. You are an artist

[@grimmlifecollective]

Thank you Brian

[@foxworthhall726]

[@paulthompson4332]

WHAT GORGEOUS SPOTS....I DID READ AND SAW THE MOVIE A LONG WHILE AGO....ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO....THANK YOU MICHAEL

[@heidischwoerer251]

This is my favorite video so far.

[@ericathegypsy4946]

Always loved this movie,and still do.🥰Great video as usual Michael and Jessica!!!

[@mickeyslive]

Honestly thank you so much for all your hard work with these videos. Being an Australian I am never going to see such locations in real life, it almost feels like I'm there. :). My mum and I used to watch Flowers together all the time, probably not the best movie to watch with your mother now that I think about it. Ha.

[@sharonlegg85]

OMG The Flowers in the Attic series of books by Virginia Andrews are my all time favourite books. Petals on the Wind, If There Be Thorns, I loved them. Have to be honest the film didn’t do the book justice, but it was good to see a version of it brought to life. As always thank you ❤️💕💙

[@bingusbingus776]

I love this movie. One of my FAVORITE MOVIES...

[@samanthalowrey1717]

[@StephsSpooky]

What a great author. Magnificent books. Flowers in the attic series was sad on many levels. Great video!✌️❤️✨️

I remember seeing this movie sometime around 1989 or 1990 on broadcast TV, it disturbed me and turned me into A Kristy Swanson fan.

This movie is underated! Movie creeped me out as a kid!👍

The grandmother in this movie always used to give me the creeps. The soundtrack was creepy as hell too

[@soniaramos91]

This was my favorite movie I watched as a kid. It resonates with me 💯 having enduring a lot of abuse. Now I want to watch it again. Thank you for filming the locations.

[@traceymacneill9879]

I read those books in the 70s, thought the movies were a hoot! Thanks for the tour!

[@catmom7447]

That movie was so nerve racking. I hated the grandmother and the mother she should had been ashamed of herself. And those kids just made the movie. Great job Michael.

[@daniellee1211]

That place is beautiful, too bad you can’t get in. The mansion is breathtaking the grounds too. Hello Grimm life collective

Omg I'm so excited!! V C Andrews was my favorite and i have all of her books 💚

[@rhymeandreasoning]

Oh my goodness. If you watch the movie, Dead Ringers, starring Bette Davis. Loads of scenes filmed at Greystone. The checkerboard floor you see in the movie often. Her character lives in the mansion.

[@shannon3n8]

You had to have been an historian in a past life. Anyone can line up shots, but it's your attention to detail - the little things - that set you, Jessica, and your vlog apart from the countless others. You truly MAKE content. I appreciate your continued efforts to do your craft justice. Y'all keep doing your thing, and we'll be here to support our 'friendly virtual horror travel guides'. Happy Halloween and Merry Christmas! ❤✌🌮

That movie is flowers and attics is so long mom wanna be young didn't care about her kids left them n raise on they on n attic cold love u guys 💖

[@Muirmaiden]

I'm so glad you did this! If you haven't already, check out Flowers87 here on youtube, he works at the Crane estate part-time and has videos of the house and grounds. While I don't particularly like the ending where the mother dies (which was filmed and added much later, and by a different director), I will always love the movie. It has such wonderful acting and atmosphere, and the music was phenomenal. It really is great how they were able to blend so many locations and sets together for Foxworth Hall.

[@cbr600rrturbo]

The ending was the best part

[@makeupfordovey]

Omggg! Thank you guys for this! I was hoping you guys would do filming locations for Flowers in the Attic 😭👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
