Labyrinth (1986) Filming Locations - Then and NOW 4K

[@charlotterolph5373]

Not only is Labyrinth one of my favourite childhood films, but I also have a very personal connection to it. After my dad's cousin's passing in 2012, I inherited the necklace worn by David Bowie in Labyrinth. It turns out that my dad's cousin (who I loved very much) worked on the film and hit it off with Bowie, who gifted him the necklace. Everytime I see people express appreciation for the worm, or the old man with the bird on his head, it warms my heart because that's what my dad's cousin worked on.

[@amandabennett3898]

What an amazing thing to read. I have loved that little worm ever since I first watched Labyrinth as a child and in my 40s I still think he's the sweetest creature ever. Hold on to the necklace and never give it to anyone else ❤

[@lisaallum5838]

Wow you are SO lucky! Worn by the legend David Bowie himself 👨🏻‍🎤😍 Am a huge fan, and actually have one of Ludo’s horns, as my dad was a model maker and had worked on lots of things and made connections. Labyrinth reminds me of when I was a teenager- how I wished I was Sarah! Now my Grandchildren watch it ❤️ I live in London and didn’t realise the bridge scene was filmed here! I will HAVE to find it now! 😍

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

The little worm was very gentlemanly. Thought he was very sweet.

Make a youtube video about your dad's cousin and show us the necklace! Please.

Labyrinth, Legend, and The Neverending Story were my childhood trifecta. Man, to be a kid curled up on the sofa watching them was just magic.

This was a time when they weren't relying on CGI. It shows in the pride these people took to make an enduring movie.

[@ChrisBong75]

OMG 😮 This is my absolute all-time favorite film because it has EVERYTHING in it: light horror, fantasy, handmade effects, best atmosphere, humor, love, wonderful friends, incredibly great ideas and last but not least a great score and great songs by the great David Bowie. The ending of the film is one of the best I've ever seen and the characters are just awesome, especially Sir Dydimus. I remember that as a teenager, after the film, I borrowed the soundtrack as an LP from the school library bus, copied it onto a MC tape and listened to it over and over again on my Walkman while I rode my BMX bike around the area. I saw the movie first on Betamax Video, later on VHS, then I owned 2 DVD Versions and now 2 BluRay Versions. For all these reasons, this film is and remains my No. 1 and after that come films like Jaws 1+2, Highlander, The Crow, A Nightmare On Elm Street 1+3, Trick'r'Treat, Fright Night 1+2, Evil Dead 2, Braindead ('Dead Alive' in America), The Blob (1988), Bill & Ted 1-3 and so on. So thank you for this wonderful post 🙏 Maybe I should think about traveling to there, too, because it's not soooo far away from Köln 😁

Labyrinth will always be one of my favourite 80’s movies. The puppetry, Jennifer Connelly, David Bowie! Can’t get any better.

Labyrinth is a classic. If you're a 70s or 80s baby you got into this film when it came out. It was a great time in cinema.

Even my daughter born in o6 is obsessed. Has always loved this movie and David Bowie. Knows every word to the movie. Classic 🤩

It got such unfairly negative reviews at the time, I'm so glad history has been kind to Labyrinth and turned it into a cult classic.

[@krystalguzman7354]

I was born the day it came out! I was obsessed with it growing up. My dad had recorded it off the TV on vhs, so I'd watch it on repeat ❤❤

[@TheCloakedOwl]

I think you two should be Jareth and Sarah for Halloween this year. I grew up with this film and I have nothing but happy memories of it. I think if I had to pick a favorite scene, it'd be the ballroom fantasy/"As The World Falls Down". Jim Henson was a wonderful human being, as well as a great talent. I wish he knew how much love there is for this film (and The Dark Crystal).

[@mdeysenroth]

A fun although brief adventure. I was fortunate enough to have seen Bowie in concert back in the 80's on the Serious Moonlight Tour. RIP legend, musical genius, one of my all-time favorites.

Labyrinth is my go-to movie when I'm feeling down and need something to watch that I know will take my mind off things AND leave me with a warm heart. I had no idea the opening scenes were filmed in England and now a visit to that park is definitely on my bucket list (I'm English, if that wasn't obvious...!) I'm glad you had such fun running over the bridge and it's cool to see it from other angles and see that it's actually grassy ON the bridge itself, and isn't bare stone. Thank you!

[@MerryLozza]

The Hell fire caves in West Wycombe are really cool if you had time to visit them. Lots of history.

[@michaelanderson2886]

Another killer video!!! I saw Labyrinth when it opened at our local Drive-In. I was 11 years old. My kids both love the film as well and we watch it together yearly. I’ve got the movie poster framed up in our living room. Anyway always great work! R.I.P. David Bowie & Jim Henson

[@TudorDarkness]

Thank you for visiting this amazing location, Labyrinth is my childhood and cannot get enough of it. It also shows how beautiful England is! Absolutely stunning.

[@joannecatherinegabl1913]

I am so happy 😂❤. Labyrinth is how I became a huge Bowie fan.

[@Oyukidono]

I clicked on this notification so fast! Labyrinth is one of my favorite movies that still stick with me even to this day from my childhood. That, Dark Crystal and Never-Ending Story. Yes, I'm always going to be a Jim Henson/Henson Studios fan. Labyrinth had some amazing music and Sarah's dress from the masquerade scene is still something I'd love to eventally make just to say I did it. To this day, I still say "Ello" to people too. That little worm is amazing. I had the fortunate joy of seeing my favorite character from the film, Sir Didymus, in person for the puppet at the puppetry museum in Atlanta when we went for the Dark Crystal exhibit and I had no clue they also would have some Labyrinth stuff there. I fan girled so hard at that and took so many pictures and video of him. It was in fantastic conditon still and will forever be something I cherish. Also, rest well David Bowie. Gone, but never forgotten. ❤❤❤

[@mtpstv94]

Still watch it probably once a year since it came out. Damn what an experience as a kid.

[@matthewfarmer2520]

I was born May 6 1976 so I was 10 in 1986 when this movie came out in theaters. It at first didn't do well with mix review, but over times it becomes a cult classic. Thanks Mike for sharing this. Rest in peace 🕊️ David Bowie.

[@Violet1969-j7w]

I grew up in West Wycombe, the monuments were fake I never saw them there growing up. I love the Labyrinth I never get tired of watching it and David Bowie no one could replace him. I heard talk about a remake you can't remake this film the same as Rocky horror should never be messed with

[@kaysmith8992]

I agree never a remake, I think the best thing they could ever attempt to do would be vague reference/crossover to the Labyrinth world in a separate fantasy, like for example a new Dark Crystal series where we see Skeksis inventing Eternal Stench and sending it as a gift to other planets, or Aughra's planetarium including a Labyrinth model.

One thing i really love: the soundtrack you play over her running in the rain changes the atmosphere completely... much as I love 'Underground' this other one (i think it's 'Into the Labyrinth'?) makes the scene way more sinister and a taste of what's to come.

Great video - especially when the swan was swimming in the exact same spot as in the movie. You know, it reminds me of the time I BSed my way into Pinewood Studios in the summer of 1985. I was 19 years old and I had an appointment to meet Roy Field, who contributed to the effects of Superman the Movie, and of course Labyrinth. Within a minute of meeting him, Field could sniff that I was just a movie-obsessed kid, but he kept the meeting going and was extremely kind and forthcoming. He showed me what he was working on re Labyrinth, then he took me on a tour of some of the soundstages. I was actually allowed to go on to a large Aliens set - specifically, the corridors of one of the ships. Then, he said goodbye and put me into the hands of another SPFX fellow - who turned out to have been a Kubrick crew member on 2001. He showed me around some more of the studio (including walking past Jim Henson’s office - he wasn’t in that day), and then my visit ended. That was nearly 40 years ago, but I still have vivid memories of the experience. I’m sure it wouldn’t be quite as easy to get into the studio now...
