The Shining - Stanley Kubrick's Grave, Elstree Studios, A Clockwork Orange and MORE 4K

We are huge fans of The Shining, and while visiting England we had to visit Elstree Studios where The Shining was filmed. We also visit the grave of Stanley Kubrick and other sites in England related to The Shining.

These guys were literally 10 minuts away from me, and It still pains me that I couldn't say hello in person, and how much they have gotten me through some tough times

[@grimmlifecollective]

Thank you. Watch our social media…we will be back in May and trying to get a meet up together.

[@chestyvulva]

Is this the studio where the Neverending Story was filmed? ​@@grimmlifecollective

[@englishman1969]

I'm 99.9 per cent I saw micheal and Jessica on the motorway around my town, I'm a taxi driver from Middlesbrough and to go from Scotland to whitby you have to travel either through Middlesbrough or round it, one day around Halloween I'm absolutely sure I past them it was only when I was further down the road I thought to myself I'm sure it was micheal driving but I couldn't turn back or slow down because I was on one of our fast roads no stopping aloud.

[@englishman1969]

Allowed

[@andytalbot6719]

Are you coming to North of England in May.

[@josephhughes9490]

Such a horror classic. Always impressed by the information Michael gives with every video. So incredibly informed. You are both fantastic and I love this show. My fav on KZbin

[@leecaddick8502]

When they dug up the ground at elstree studios in 2000 to build the big brother house Builders were puzzled as the soil was white. Upon further investigation it turns out tons of fake snow was just buried after filming the exterior scenes

[@gwenpigeon7016]

Stanley Kubrick made so many of my favorite movies. We was such a genius 🎃🖤

[@nochistar]

My favorites are the shining and wide shut eyes. How about yours?

[@aprilheuft6682]

The Shinning is an excellent example of the horror realm! Thank you both!

[@AprilShowers73]

This was AWESOME! I found your channel when I went down a rabbit hole chasing The Shining conspiracy theories and came across your video with Shelley Duvall. You had me hook, line and sinker with that interview. I absolutely loved it and the way you two were with her. I have been here ever since. So just about a year.

[@johnsouthern6089]

So many great films. I love how saturated A Clockwork Orange is.

[@robatsea2009]

While traveling around Europe in the fall of 1989 I actually did get a tour of Elstree-Borehamwood after making a request (by fax!) before departing on my trip. In the last few days before returning home I called the contact, set the time, hopped the train and - missed the stop lol. Had to backtrack, but everyone was very understanding and gracious. I had tea with a gentleman named Andrew Mitchell, who was the manager at the time, before being taken on a tour. I'm forgetting the gentleman's name who took me on the tour but I remember he'd worked on the classic TV series "The Avengers". At the time there wasn't much filming apart from a Jim Henson series titled "The Storyteller", but it was fascinating to see the sound stages, water tank, post-production facilities (which I seem to recall a noted sound editor named Bill Rowe was busy working on something). It was a thrill to be on the stages - even if they were empty at the time - knowing that's where the Death Star hangar, the Well of Souls, the Overlook, and hundreds of other sets had existed from the 1920s up until that point. There was more of the studio still standing at that point than exists today, unfortunately. They kindly gave me a booklet all about Elstree at the end of the visit, with a rundown of the different movies & series filmed there over the decades. It was a great way to finish my travels!

[@johncornell3665]

The Shining is my favorite movie. So awsome to see Elstree Studios. Thanks so much!

[@snowymatrix]

I live about 10 miles away from Borehamwood and love the American way you pronounced it! 👍😁😎

[@bryanmadewell8896]

Another beautifully shot video. Mr. Kubrick's house is so peaceful and beautiful. The amount of respect you have for people, their homes and businesses that you visit is awesome. You and baby ghoul are living a lot of peoples dreams and it's beautiful. Thank you two so much for making these videos. Michael, keep creating such masterfully done videos and Jessica, stay as beautiful as you are. Love you guys. Grimmlife follower forever.

[@dimitariliev6596]

The quality of the content you guys create is outstanding ! I am a huge fan of everything Kubrick and The Shining and still I learned a lot from this video.Thank you !

[@bobbybigboyyes]

Great video about my hometown. It's pronounced with a silent 'H' so its 'Bor am wood' and Childwickbury is pronounced 'Chill ick berry' .. I have mentioned Elstree Studios to you before. In The Shining the wooden lodge with all the snow and red caterpillar truck was inside a giant sound stage. I walked onto it and it was the most amazing mindblowing set I have ever seen. Indiana Jones was also made at Elstree Studios. I used to stand on the roof of Canterbury House as it was the only 'tall' building in town back then. If you had looked a little further there is another studio close to Canterbury House. It is now a BBC Studio, but back in the 60s and 70s it was ATV Studios where my sister worked. The then head of ATV, Sir Lew Grade, gave an unknown American a big break and made his new show for him. That man was Jim Henson, and the show was The Muppet Show. Marty Feldman made a lot of his shows at Borehamwood, and I used to see him around town now and again. Many cult 60s tv series were made at Elstree Studios. It was my playground. Opposite my old 'Hillside School' is a row of houses. Behind them is a field. Hidden at the back of that field among the trees and shrubbery was / is a green mesh fence. It had a couple of gaps in it, which led straight onto the backlot of Elstree Studios. I used to walk around all the outdoor sets and streets in the evenings that were used for Roger Moore's 'The Saint' and Diana Rigg's The Avengers. 500 yards to the left of Elstree Studios used to be MGM ( British ) Studios which is where Patrick McGoohan.s bizarre cult tv series was made called 'The Prisoner' ( which also used the Welsh village of Portmeirion for location shots. Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton also made 'Where Eagles Dare' at MGM. The American owners of MGM screwed up its running and the studio shut down in the 70s. 🖤💀🖤☠🖤💀🖤☠🖤💀🖤☠🖤

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Thank you Mike for sharing this. Im a fan of all Stanley Kubrick films.the clockwork orange 🍊 is my most favorite, my dad said he saw 2001 space ossodey in the theater back in 1968. My dad passed away in 2021, but i remember some of what he did. Thanks so much.

[@kisle3195]

Well done guys this movie strikes a chord and continually resonates through me even after all these years, same with One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Stanley was a cinematography legend that made a film come to life and immersed the viewer, not to mention a well hand picked cast.

[@matttaylor9365]

So frustrating they built a supermarket where the studio was, they could have turned it into an incredible museum

[@cheekyegg]

Was MGM

[@nochistar]

I guess they never imagined that the shining was gonna be considered such an important film in the future.

[@johnralph3704]

I thought I knew everything about The Shining, but I keep learning new things.

[@blunderz2699]

Been inside there as an audience member for the Keith Lemmon show , his studio was next to the Star Wars studio

[@Lion_McLionhead]

Kubrick lived in England from 1961 onward. He moved into the mansion in 1978 & actually used it as a studio instead of an investment property like most houses nowadays.

[@Des_Zee]

"Return to Oz" it makes sense that movie was filmed there because it had that eery aura as the other films that were filmed there. Great video

[@BensHalloween]

One of the most interesting filming locations in movie history made in that studio and around.

[@Hannwilliams]

your voice just brings me so much comfort

[@rayofsunshine427]

Im from the UK and I never knew this! Thanks to bringing it to my attention.

[@stevendunn264]

Borehamwood Elstree studios so much history shining clockwork Orange so many films.

[@rokasgruzauskas1098]

So great to see that the iconic sets of horror classic like The Shining was built in US and England , there's so many great things to see in UK ,and thanks to both of you , Elstree cinematic studios will be my next object for a visit , i already can imagine famous trio of The Shining like Stanley Kubrick , Jack Nicholson and Shalley Duvall working inside Elstree studios back in 1980 🙂 the most my favorite cinematic spot during filming over the years is then Cillian Murphy standing on the abandoned Westminster Bridge in London while making the movie 28 days after 🙂 Michael and Jessica after both of your respectful visiting to the location of Freddie Mercury house , i'm really hoping that i will meet both of you here in UK someday 🙂 both of your youtube channel are truly one of the best gifts for the people who loves great movies and the iconic places where the movies was made for amazing success 🙂, i want to wish both of you amazing , full of energy , year of 2024 while exploring unseen famous movies sites 🙂 Happy Halloween 🙂❤🐉🎃

[@richard3693]

Those gates outside his house reminded me of "Eye's wide shut "

[@magicskyway]

I love that they have so much publicly available to see, even if the studio is closed to visitors most of the time!

[@slates1969]

I love how you say Bore Ham Wood ! In the UK we would drop the Ham and instead say Borumwood

[@janetlieb2507]

❤My Dear Grimm. Wonderful to see The Studios and The Shining film locations. L❤ve your European adventures. ❤ l❤ve you❤❤

[@JMendez1973]

I appreciate your videos and how much y’all enjoy each other and each other’s company. Thank you for the vicarious escape from reality with your adventures.

This is the episode I’ve been waiting for! Have had the chance to work at Elstree Studios and it certainly is sacred ground in movie history

[@lordgarth1]

I’ve been to the Stanley Hotel which was the basis for the story.

[@rx7dude2006]

That is awesome the story about the hedge maze!I l always wondered how they filmed it!

[@crush41gb]

The Avengers tv series was filmed there! Love it! 😁

[@stephjezo6470]

The fact that Hitchcock was born in 1899 really puts things in a different time perspective......another awesome video, thanks!

[@not2bfound586]

Great work! Love all of your videos, cheers to a wonderful 2024! 🥂

[@user-fj4ql2gg6t]

Crazy thing is that I had no problem watching you go in a haunted castle hearing ghost voices , but the set of the shinning is crossing the peace line . I had chills as if I was still a kid terrified by this movie . I got goosebumps seeing room 100 , then u show a clip of the ghost from the movie 😅😬😮‍💨 ❤ you two are rock stars ❤

[@leecollins5479]

we went to a filming of big brother years ago at elstree studios.such a big place

[@LizzyHourglass]

We visited Borehamwood and Elstree. We stayed at the Manor Hotel where a Clockwork Orange was also filmed (along with loads of other films and TV shows). Elstree Studios have lots of games how's etc and ask the public to apply to attend, so of you come back, that's an easy way to get in to see it.

[@helensmith7429]

Fab absolutely love it... inspired me to watch The Shining again 😂 another fabulous video from the GLC😊x

The Shining is truly my absolute favorite horror movie. This was a great episode and seeing the studio used for the Shining

[@sagittariuswoman7278]

Doctor Sleep is the sequel, if you haven’t read or watched it. I loved it

[@ThreadBomb]

Are you aware that there are two different versions of The Shining? The initial US release, and the version Kubrick created for the UK and Europe release. This second version is a tighter movie, and cuts some redundant scenes and shots. It's the version most people outside the US have seen.

[@jeffemery7821]

Michael, I love your videos! Your content has great variety along with a fantastic narrative. Your perspective is fresh compared to others that have tried but don't get the topics across in the same fashion. These uploads give me something to look forward to. Thank You for the channel & keep up the unmatched quality ❤

The Shining is a Great movie. Plus, Doctor Sleep is awesome too.

[@clivesimpson-xb7zb]

Kubrick made one of the most iconic Horror movies ever, despite what King thought of it. That is the difference between the mythology of movies and literature.

[@robertschuster3528]

Love that You were able to visit Elstree studios.Wonder if Bray Studios is still standing? That is where several Hammer Films were made.The Christopher Lee Film "Jienna"was able the founder of modern day Pakistan.I read a film review (Ebert or Siskel) I think.They said had Jienna got a U.S.dIstributor,Lee probably would have won a Best Actor Oscar.

[@excession3076]

Many years ago I used to keep my pony just up the road from here. Where you walked up the footpath next to the studios, (I think the one with the little park) there were some open fields/land and old outdoor sets you could see. Especially on horseback, you can see over fences hedges, ect. A couple of house fronts, streets, buildings, all very dilapidated. This was at the time they were actually filming Star Wars (1975/76) but of course, nobody had heard of it then. Elstree at the time was in danger of closure (or so it was said) and I think that's why they sold off so much land. Also just a tip. If you get an ordinance survey map of the areas you are visiting, you can find footpaths just about everywhere. That big house or estate you might want a closer look at, often has a footpath/public right of way running close by. Especially older houses out in the countryside. The workers on the farms or at the "big house", had to get to work somehow a few hundred years ago and from there to the local Church/village.

[@petemeredith806]

I went to Elstree after seeing this video. I'm assuming you drove there as you get to see a fair bit more coming out of the train station. Great video

[@francisdv]
