Little side note, it was only the basement scenes where they see the librarian ghost that was filmed at the LA library. The upstairs is in New York :)

[@sodguy69]

Your right i was about to post that before i saw your comment

[@thomasbecker9676]

A few years back, a few friends and I got a tour of Rat Alley, the basement of the LA Library, from a gentleman who was there when they filmed.

[@Predators--cz2fb]

That’s odd. Didn’t they film the outskirts in NYC? So they would have had to have flown a few thousand miles just to do that Basement scene? They may as well have done it on a sound stage.

[@jac6995]

@@Predators--cz2fb Im sure all the LA stuff was filmed together and theyre werent just going back and forth for every scene.

[@bassage13]

I've been to the firehouse in New York. It's still a working firehouse and they use the Ghostbusters logo as their mascot. It's a very cool place to visit!

[@samanthab1923]

They filmed Bill Murray, Paul Rudd & the others there for Good Morning America.

[@billstrikesback]

Two other spots you can check out in LA, are from Ghostbusters II when they are digging the hole in the middle of the street, and when they go to see the Mayor, that house, which was also used in The Big Lebowski if i remember correctly. Great video guys x

[@vitoguttilla2926]

Dude. The stand in for Gracie Mansion is the loading dock at the Biltmore was also used in Stripes in 1980.

[@chadmears136]

Awesome video. The Ghostbusters movies were my childhood. RIP Harold Ramis...aka Eguen Spangler

[@Justinjaro]

Dan Aykroyd's dad was a ghost/paranormal hunter while he was growing up. When asked about his work with Ghostbusters he said, “It's the family business, for God's sake"

[@vincentstrack4933]

I thought I heard it was his brother who was a ghost hunter.

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

@@vincentstrack4933, it's the FAMILY business for God's sake!

[@vincentstrack4933]

@@fearlessjoebanzai didn't know about the father. I only saw an interview where he mentioned his brother. I wasn't criticizing, I just never heard of the father being interested in that work.

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

@@vincentstrack4933, I'm just teasing mate x

[@vincentstrack4933]

Reading the messages sometimes I miss read it. I actually didn't know. Thanks for the info. I just remembered the part about his brother. I didn't know his father was into it also. Wondering who got who into ghost hunting.

The ceiling was GORGEOUS 🤩

[@donnyromine8110]

You were born in 1979 I was born in 1980 and you made me remember some amazing things from my childhood...thank you.

[@billseka4141]

When visiting the Biltmore hotel you forgot to mention it was the last place Elizabeth Short' The Black Dahlia ' was seen alive. Since you did a video on her previously I was surprised you didn't mention it.

[@dellsbellz71]

Must be so cool to have a wife/girlfriend that digs the same shit as you?! I absolutely love all this nostalgic stuff, cant get enough. But my wife doesn't give a shit!!! Top video Grimm!

[@artromero7552]

Im in the same exact boat with you. I love this type of content

[@jacobdean4833]

Baby Ghoul is awesome!! Best video side kick ever!!

[@deborahgibson9039]

Oh my gosh, love these movies! I actually use the Ghostbusters theme as a ring tone for one of my contacts! 😁

[@psementalist]

Grimm i can't even begin to tell you guy's how much I enjoy watching your KZbin videos. I am a huge fan of Ghostbusters

[@TERMlNAT0R]

Did you know the birthday scene in Ghostbusters II was filmed on the 3rd floor of that L.A. Firehouse?

[@angeltheone350]

@Grimmlifecollective they do a haunted L.A. walking tour and the Biltmore Hotel is one of the locations they take u to.

[@marko723]

The lady with her thumb up her nose in that photo is legendary comedian Martha Raye, known for entertaining the troops for many years and many movies, commercials and tv shows. She played Benita Bizarre on the 70’s kid show “The Bugaloos”

[@jeffreyh7951]

Cool video! Another neat side note of the firehouse.. it was also used to film Ripleys Auto in The Mask with Jim Carrey! Even the three wooden lockers are still there!! Lol good thing Ripleys didn't work on Ecto-1

[@JR-wt5ct]

Ahhh back when hollywood used actual locations to shoot movies. Now a days you wanna visit a film set just buy a green curtain.

[@JoseMorales-lw5nt]

9:30/ Fun fact: Another 80's classic utilized this very hotel.... BACHELOR PARTY! Yup, the Tom Hanks comedy used the Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel for some of the interior AND exterior shots...

[@rogueleo6587]

If you drive by Sony studios going down Culver (westbound) you can usually spot the Ectomobile parked in the lot. You have to look between the gap in fence right before you hit the Overland light. I used to always see it being driven up and down Culver late at night. Got a video of it once right next to me. Pretty cool I think

[@caseywiththehat9018]

My favorite channel posting about my favorite movie....we love to see it

[@xMRxZEROx]

Ghostbusters is one of my all-time favorite movies. Wasn't a huge fan of the female version. Was a little too cheesy. But could have been worse. Love that you did this.

[@kingdingaling2469]

Yea, the female version was not as bad as I expected, nor was it as bad as most of these female redo’s. Female Terminator redo ? No thanks.

You guys must be the couple with the best chemistry ever. Dude, u have no idea how lucky u are with a wife that completes you like this...i am a big fan of your channel, and the movies you pick...i was born in 77, and you two hit all my marks.

[@robotstookmypodcast]

Great video! I didn't know the firehouse interior was back in L.A. Love your channel!

[@angelab904]

Theres many 80s movies i love watching every few years and both Ghostbusters 1 and 2 are on that list! I hated the remake with the girls but the most recent one with Paul Rudd was actually good! I still miss Egon. RIP Ivan Reitman. He was my favorite and his one liners always cracked me up.I also loved the cartoon as a kid.

[@leob4403]

The 2016 remake was far better than Ghostbusters 2. Even Bill Murray hated Ghostbusters 2

[@lisacoston8175]

The Stay Puff Marshmelow Man is so cute and adorable. 😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️😁👍👍💜💜😍😍😍

Great video guys. Did you know the bodyguard and the infamous banana scene from beverly hills cop was filmed there? There was a fire at the los Angeles library I guess the basement is no longer there.

[@escapetoparadise2226]

Very well put together video. Thanks!

[@user-vr6sd3cr9p]

Thanks man. 1979 eh? I was born in 69. I really wish I had got to see GB in the theater, but I don't remember going to movies with my dad from 1982 to his death in 1990 when I was 20 - I think the last movie I saw with him was Quest for Fire when I was 12 in 1981.

[@WhatsYourGhostStory]

I'd love to invite you two to be guests on our Haunted LA & Hollywood bus tour. You two were actually at one point standing in the most haunted little corner of the Biltmore. We've got more stories and facts about the place that I can tell you two would appreciate!

[@samanthab1923]

Would love to hear some 👻

[@BUDDYHORLICKS]

Awsome, well done, the eerie , ghostly links in the Biltmore too

[@iancassidy1048]

Love the channel. Appreciate all your efforts to line up shots (correctly). I’m an actor and also a huge film fan. Anything BTS or then and now still fascinates me even though some of them are films and tv shows I’ve actually been in. Fun facts about the Biltmore Hotel. Beverly Hills cop was also filmed there and the famous banana in the tailpipe scene was shot across the street on Olive next to Pershing square. The bar at the biltmore is also the last known place where Elizabeth was scene before she was murdered. I heard she frequented that bar a lot as it was her favorite. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

[@samanthab1923]

I didn’t know that about the Black Dahlia.

[@JohnMassari]

One can never escape the constant sound of leaf blowers!

[@mitchg7809]

The Biltmore Hotel was also the last place where they saw Elizabeth Short, AKA "The Black Dahlia" on January 9th 1947 before she went missing for a week and was found grizzly murdered on January 15 1947 on a vacant lot on South Norton Ave.

[@patricklee7241]

One of my good friends lived in the iconic CPW building and used to always hang out on the roof. That roof is much larger than what the set shown in the movie. But it was fun pretending the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man came walking down Columbus Circle.

My favorite part about Ghostbusters is that Louis and Dana..... well, you know.. he was the Key Master. Another amazing walk along adventure with the GLC. Grimm for Life!

[@rhysnybo3420]

Also never knew that the crew and Dan Aykroyd and Mama Cass all both encountered poltergeist activity and also surprised the there were 2 famous people Mama Cass and the one from the National Lampoon that lived where Dan Aykroyd used to lived that definitely surprised me

We have a ghost cat. you feel it jump up on the bed and move around looking for a spot to sleep(if you have cats you will know the feeling when they do it). both me and the misses have felt it . I first thought it was 1 of our cats, but I would turn over to see which 1 it was and nothing was there. this happened about 5-6 times before I mentioned it to the misses. she straight away said I have also felt that . its only when we are alone in the bed and never together. I've now felt it around 20 times over the past 2-3 years .

[@samanthab1923]

Very cool. There is a light house in Ohio, the Fairport Harbor that gets appearances from a ghost cat 👻
