I absolutely love Grimm Life Collectives. I wish the videos were even longer - I get sad when they end and I have to wait for another 😢

[@sarahcoleman1620]

I do too. I love Grimm life collectives.

[@ghostcityshelton9378]

Nope ! Just watch already made ones !😀

[@adriannabcustomfurniture]

Join their Patreon and you can see more of them. They do LIVES and they are pretty long 🙂

[@solcutta3661]

Yes would love longer vids...best on KZbin

[@bjnartkerproductions]

Good stuff! Always a pleasure watching the two of you! Wanted to mention, in case no one else has, that the house used for "Invaders From Mars" was originally built for the 1948 movie"Mr. Blanding Builds His Dream house" starring Cary Grant, Myrna Loy and Melvin Douglas. An excellent movie if you're never seen it.

[@dalekosak7611]

Seen it. Loved the movie. "Invaders from Mars" and "Mr Blanding Builds his Dream House". Didn't like the house. for a dream house it is inadequate. Only 3 bathrooms. Master bath, kids bath, maids bath, no guest bath. 4 bed rooms. master bedroom, 2 kids rooms, maids room. No guest room. No family room or game room so all the school projects, etc. would be in the living room or dinning room like in a small apartment and the office is in the hub of the house. no possibility of working in peace.

[@janadeubner9883]

As an "older adult" I grew up on science fiction movies and still love them! I haven't seen this movie in years and will have to watch this remake! Thanks Michael for peaking my interest!

[@solcutta3661]

Me too..

[@kvkmuzic7092]

Along with some fellow Marines, I was an extra in this movie. The scenes on the Marine Corps base, in the movie I believe was named named "Camp Puller" after a famous Marine named General "Chesty" Puller, was actually located inside the former Marine Corps Air Station El-Toro, located in Irvine, Cal., where I was stationed from 1985 to 1988. In the scene, where Karen and David are driving around the base, you see a platoon of Marines marching, yet very briefly. Well, I'm actually one of those Marines marching. Took many takes to get the scene filmed. Seemed to be all night. A couple more friends were driven to the 'pit area' where the Marines were in prone position near James Karen, the General, ready to fight the martians. However, I have no Idea where that particular scene was shot.... The NASA office building in the scene where David's mom and dad deliver the detonator on the base can be seen in this drone footage taken 6 years ago at time 2:30. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3m0aayZp9R1baM Enjoy : ) ...Thanks for another great one Grimm!

[@michaelmartin4552]

Semper Fi, same here. The Pit scenes were filmed out at an old quarry near Simi Valley. They pulled Marines from multiple units in the LA area for that movie. I was one of over a hundred they got from the Marine Barracks at the Seal beach Naval Weapon Station.

[@juliey5328]

Seems like I'm always watching these classics after you suggest them . Never seen this one but going to check it out . Great job !

[@williamjameshalejr.3734]

Grimm Life Rocks! I was kinda Sad 😢 I didn’t see Jessica, it felt like something was missing;) Michael is a Natural at this Not only does he have a Great Voice! But he also has a unique way of captivating you when he’s explaining everything! He’s an Excellent Story Teller! Where else can you get The History and Locations of your Favorite Movies, and be told a Story That Entertains while doing it? Like I said Grimm Life Rocks!

[@grimmlifecollective]

Thank you William, and Jessica will be back poking around. We have been working on some pretty big projects too.

[@debramaugle5938]

Thank you Michael for another great video. I'm happy that you didn't get the mark on your neck! I love you and Jessica you both are great together. Wish you both were part of my family!!!

[@aprox23]

I remember watching this movie when I was 5 and being captivated by it. It was the first alien movie I had watched. It was also first time I was introduced to the concept of alien life outside of earth. This movie seemed very plausible to me at the time lol...still does.

[@lauriewarner4848]

I live so close to this. I used to live in the same canyon. I am going over there tomorrow! Thanks, you so rock this stuff! I love watching your posts, they are so current!

[@moviegeek9540]

One of the few remakes I actually enjoyed. Tobe Hooper is a very underrated director.

[@MarilynMonroeFamily]

I was on the set located in Simi Valley (Tapo Canyon). It was the main set used for the cover photo on the promotional material. Sand pits and the (National Guard/Marines??). I was about 16 at the time. Hunter Carson was hanging with us a bit... he was being annoying... started throwing sand at us... lmao! He was a brat! It was fun watching the filming of it! The set was pretty elaborate!

[@moshesett8580]

One of my favorite movies growing up. Thank you for doing this

[@tommymaguire2839]

The majority of these film locations that you visit are connected to movies that I've never seen, yet you are SO freaking passionate, articulate and likable that you draw me right in. Can't say enough about your natural ability man. Well done.

[@explorers1979]

Wow! You guys are always working! Again, amazing content, especially for us 80's/90's kids who are watching. Rock on Grimm Life!!!

[@algypan]

Love your channel. I love coming home, popping on my headphones, cracking open a beer (or 4) and watching your vids. Much love from the UK!

[@AIBCustomFx]

Funny thing, I have JUST bought the dvd yesterday. I've seen this film back in the early 90's so my purchase was long overdue

[@solcutta3661]

Nice...

[@solcutta3661]

Any extras on DVD??

[@AIBCustomFx]

@@solcutta3661 yes! 1: an analysis with a Marc toullec (french horror director) 2: the making of "the martians are coming" with tobe hooper, hunter carson, allec gillis etc.... It's not much but it's better than nothing right? (note: it's a french dvd release edition)

[@tidalboxer]

OMG this movie freaked me out as a kid. It’s one of my favorites now.

[@blackholeentry3489]

Times were so different when I saw this movie in 1953. My mother dropped three of us off in town, we got a bite to eat and then saw the movie. Afterwards, three of us ......at 14, I was the oldest.... a younger brother and younger yet, my sister. After the movie, the three of us walked a country road three miles to home and thought nothing of it, getting home well after 11:00....and we had no flashlight....and no moon that night. The rare few cars....we just stood off of the roadway until they passed.

[@timperley69]

Me and a buddy of mine watched this movie alot back then, we liked these weird sci fi movies.

[@shanegrigg7579]

This one my favorite you ever did because this was my favorite movie growing up

[@altercell_]

I can’t believe I’ve never seen this movie, but I’m definitely going to now! Thanks man love the videos

[@MsBluheart]

Another one of those fun movies of the 80s! I also remember watching the old original version on Saturday afternoon tv as a kid. Love this one. Another great video!

[@trr5291]

Thank you for Sharing this. I never heard of the movies until you uploaded this. I watched both movies on KZbin this morning. I like them both. The 50's movie was great and the 80's was even better

[@kizro10]

So I got lost in Mississippi trying to find Robert’s grave. I went back to your video and lined the shot up using power poles, and tree lines. My gps took us down the dirt road at the miniature Juke Joint structures that you pass before getting to the church. Million Thanks..

[@michaelallan1162]

Outstanding job! You are a horror fan, 80s freak and I love it. Your hands are magical! Your excitement rubs off! I love your enthusiasm. Thanks, thanks, thanks! I will watch this movie, you could sell any movie! Prayers and love sent my friend!

[@rustystuff]

Great video as usual guys. Not seen the remake but absolutely loved the original, very creepy!!

[@jeremiahrodgers6309]

Found your channel yesterday and absolutely love it,I love the fact you guys like spooky side of life because that's what I'm into too😊👍you and your girl seem like really cool, down to earth, genuine human beings.Anyways keep up the good work on your channel brother👻

[@intertubicular]

Nice job! Absolutely remember this remake from 1986. It was freaky. Hey Grimm, can you do a video on Basket Case locations?

[@bobroma]

I don't know why but for some reason I have never seen this movie. I will be watching it tonight! Great video as always, Michael!! Happy Halloween💀🎃🖤

[@19HuskyWolf70]

Ive never seen this movie....now I will watch this weekend

[@silvereagle2061]

One of the cops in the film played the kid in the original film. He even says "I used to play up that hill as a kid" or something like that.

[@jack2breeze]

I thought the line was, "I feel like I`ve been down this way before." (?) But it`s cool.

[@silvereagle2061]

@@jack2breezeI found the exact quote on IMDB, "Gee, I haven't been up here since I was a kid"

[@jack2breeze]

@@silvereagle2061 Ok, only seen the remake once.

[@aaronfrahm623]

Another great Saturday morning adventure. Grimm for Life!

[@loyaljones8814]

Loved this as a teenager, I have it on dvd,im 47 now

[@lauriewarner4848]

I went , with out watching this you might never know…. They should do a Halloween haunt from this! Thanks guys!

[@maryannwheeler3454]

Another excellent filming location. Unfortunately when the scene came up when the teacher was eating the frog, I was eating my parfait. Lost my appetite. LOL!

[@melvynbev2827]

Did it again grimmlife keep them coming great shows great entertainment watching all the way from UK 👍

[@sarahcoleman1620]

I love the shirt. I love that movie ghostbusters.

[@stevenkaskus6173]

I'm actually watching this very movie right now as I'm also watching your video. Pretty cool that you found the actual filming locations that are real places. Question about the house of David Gardner, is it still someone's house? And I noticed a large parking lot in front of the house and Many vehicles parked there, what is this place being used for now? Thanks for doing this video, I love sci -fi and one of My crushes is in this movie, Karen Black who plays the school nurse. I remember watching the 1953 version well and saw this one probably when it came out and saw it within this year earlier and watched it. I love certain films from the 1950's era i.e. WAR OF THE WORLDS THAT VERSION IS MY FAVORITE AND Forbidden Ok Planet too, can't beat those two. Glad I found your video. One movie I absolutely love is Star Ship Troupers so if you have any videos about these 3 I'd be interested in seeing them.

[@seattlescofflaws]

Thanks! One of my favorites as a teen. Loved the remake and the original.

[@crystalbutterfly4812]

We use to hike there all the time it was awesome

[@williamdouglas1977]

Amazing job as usual ! 🎃

[@simonriddick]

Very interesting :) I rememeber watching it when I was a kid and it scared the hell out of me. Such a creepy movie. Almost doesn't make sense im 41 now time just flies.

[@dayvid20000]

Such a good movie... Louise Fletcher always plays a good villain - (🤬< DAVID GARDNER!! - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!!!) I remember in the 90s, this movie was really hard to find on VHS for some reason. . . I finally found it years later on DVD in North Hollywood. . .

[@chucky6299]

Just ordered the OOP Invaders! Thanks! Forgot about that one from when we were kids! 👽

[@wilsonsingleton1841]

You 2 never cease to do an amazing Job! 👏 Glad ya didn't get probed going up to that hill Mike lol!

[@michaelll]

Haha. I just watched this movie on YT and thought it would be awesome if you guys went to these filming locations and then I see your video right next to the movie. Awesome. I've been on a bender of your guy's videos this week and its so cool seeing these locations from movies I grew up with. Espeically the Goonies and E.T. movies.

[@vancrow9806]

Happy Halloween !! 🎃🧟‍♀️🦇

[@chonwayne909]

So cool I just watched this movie last week again

[@lisaedwards931]

Never watched this film but I will have to after watching this

[@walterfechter8080]

The actor (Jimmy Hunt) who played the little boy (David) in the original film (1953) played a cop in the 1986 remake. I'm an "old guy." I prefer the 1953 version. This is a very well-done video. Thanks.

[@michaelmartin4552]

No, they were not walking up that hill every time they walked up that hill. I was in that movie as one of the Marine extras, and that hill set was on a soundstage in Hollywood. Yes many of the scenes were outside, but that hillside with the wood picket fence was actually built on a soundstage. And I had to run down it easily a dozen times.

[@angela_67]

I am loving your videos..you go full tilt and have a great sense of the movies..i watched the movie just now so i can relate..Thanks so much for all you do

[@NotMorganFreeman.]

Sadly the property looks like it was taken care of better than it is now. There is a scene where the two cops or looking for Linda and David in a boiler room. They stop briefly and shine their flashlights on one of the alien props used in the original movie. You could play the drinking game every time someone says David Gardner in this film. Another great vid Grimm.

[@sandramclaughlin8145]

You are both amazing, I love watching your channel so much, I'm 61yrs old and you are the best thing I watch, so wish you could come to Yorkshire England x

[@camelotdaily7051]

Project suggestion for you and the Mrs. Don't know if anyone else has pointed this out, but your voice sound exactly like Jim Carrey. In addition, you resemble Carrey in a classic vampire movie, "Once Bitten". Perhaps you would be interested in sleuthing the movie locations there in Hollywood? Keep making great entertainment you two. Be safe.

[@danadavis6097]

Now u should film the location of the original Invaders from Mars. 1953? I think I've seen that one but not this one. I'm gonna watch it now! Thanks! You always do a fantastic job and your voice is so pleasant. Love you and Jessica both! ❤️ God bless you 🙏🙏🤗🤗❤️❤️
