Coming from a family that has seizures, Thank you for the flashing lights disclaimer that's very thoughtful of you! Much respect!

[@debi1451]

That place is very trippy!. I love it!.😄

[@Coinmancer]

That’s place is awesome eye know ‘the residents’ would love it!

[@marilynsullivan3260]

Jacob, thanks for taking me along.

[@juanzapata492]

This place is awesome and interactive with some snacks to motivate the brain 😊

[@jabrowski_]

I think all of our lives have been scary as is recently. We appreciate any thing u show us, Jacob

[@the13throse]

As a new scare actor, don't worry about not being startled or spooked in the haunts, as long as you behave (which I'm sure you always do) and make it clear you're enjoying the show, most of us I think are happy :) Playing along/responding to skit lines is also great

[@TheCarpetbagger]

I have a lot of respect for scare actors, I hate how many people misbehave

[@sarahbowman7566]

So many nods to old Florida attractions in there, loved watching this.

[@lissachocolate]

Hocus Focus is a fascinating place, kind of like Meow Wolf but has its own vibe, liked it a lot.

[@suemoo22]

Yum, frog legs are very good!

[@greeleyman]

Cold cuts from an unattended display in a public space? Sure! Load me up! When the cold cuts kick in things may become even more psychedelic! You're a brave man Jacob- thanks for being our taster!

[@DOCDOCFLAMINGOS]

What made you go right to "Unattended??!!??"...... I mean there was no video or even any mention that it was just sitting out with no one there to help or watch as needed!!??!!

[@roknrolbilly]

THANK YOU! AS ALWAYS FROM TACOMA WASHINGTON...

[@Time_Lost_Astromech]

that one room looks like a cat themed TARDIS console room lol

[@LinecookThorJamiethaxton]

Awesome video as always Jacob keep up the awesome work and be safe out there

[@alicewargacki3543]

Very interesting same kinda exhibit you would have at a Meow Wolf or very much similar! I like to see a Meow Wolf in the Smokey Mountains.

[@lemn8]

I think you're less afraid because you're feeling much better now inside your own skin. You seem content how things are going right now.

[@alanlough638]

I really enjoyed this cool attraction. What an eyeful! 👍👍👍

[@Themeparkhero]

You might not be the best unlocker, but you are a fantastic finder, and a great asset to those who do unlock

[@viviennemorgan7217]

i love florida so much.

[@viviennemorgan7217]

i want to go back.

[@ParagonVhexx]

MeowWolf is that you? Gives the same vibes, very cool!

[@MissouriPenny]

Hey Mr carpetbagger..love the channel 🎉🎉long time.thankyou for sharing your adventures with us ❤❤❤

[@morddas]

The octopus skeleton (on top of the carved pumpkin water cooler) eyeball is LETTER V on the scavenger hunt!

[@laurag-oe9xo]

You used to have screams that lasted forever. Then you would take a breath and scream some more. But we will always have those videos to visit. You seem to enjoy the haunts more now. And that's nice too. Maybe less likely for you to drop dead of a heart attack or stroke during halloween season.

[@FLgurl407]

Hey! Thats my old stompin ground! I spent every weekend of my teenage yrs at a club called Channel Zero a few blocks from this place. But this was in the 90s when downtown St Pete consisted of thrift stores and The Pier. The end.

[@allensherrill850]

Hey you Jacob! I’m watching you live, from California! What a great way to start my day. Thanks.

[@KitKalico]

All of those little tourists pamphlets are attractions in Florida just by different names! The Florida aquarium, The Florida strawberry festival. Dinoland. I didn't catch the other ones 😅

[@FakeOrRealThings]

Have to visit this place😊

[@allensherrill850]

Proof that there were 2 crabs 🦀 there, they come in pairs 😂

[@SquarePegs]

Yay, a Twistee Treat callout! My grandfather owned the fiberglass shop that designed and built all of the Twistee Treat stands back in the 80s.

[@magicofbrent]

You must have some strange dreams, with these unique attractions you visit.

[@vanessaperegretti37]

You can say that you have to keep an "eye" out for things. Lol

[@dianneC1979]

Ready for another adventure😊

[@robylove9190]

Hocus Focus reminds me of Meow Wolf.❤

[@mariehendrick7173]

I just love when you visit these places.. Major Interesting.. I was searching for the eyes with you What did we win!!?? The work and artistry and imagination that goes into these Immersive attractions is Amazing... XXXX

[@troyboy5533]

I missed you Jacob

[@alicehead3511]

I hope you do local Haunts....Field of Screams in Lancaster PA is good

[@EricHunting]

That cat Tardis room brought to mind the old Cat from Outer Space movie. I thought the paws might be a reference to Hemingway's cats, but they're supposed to be mostly polydactyl cats.

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Good morning Jacob, another adventure with the Carpetbagger. Lol thanks for sharing this. That last video was sad to see and hear about your friend, the fire was scary, now that would be a Halloween 🎃 movie. Hope he has insurance on the place.

[@coreym162]

Insurance is the least of my worries for him. All that stuff he made by hand has no price nor coverage to recover :/ Maybe that old video of the place can somehow at least cover the materials and foundation of the objects, mannequins and what not back for at least the attraction to reopen someday. That autographed and vintage stuff is sadly gone forever :(

[@kandihinshaw1870]

My sister when she was younger had a roadkill Cafe t-shirt. And it gave a bunch of weird names for different things. And she was actually a little obsessed with taking pictures of roadkill for a while. Which honestly surprised me because she's not extremely end of that kind of stuff but at that point in time she'd gotten to where she wasn't as squeamish as she used to be.

[@annarussell2569]

Hey Jacob, next time you guys are in town let us know my husband been communicating with you. We live in Bradenton Florida over by Anna Maria Island. Would love to meet up with you both at the next time you’re in town let us know.🎉🎉

[@jabrowski_]

Scavenger hunt spelled out "Drink Your Ovaltine"

[@allenmattson2468]

ask yourself a question, are you happy just go have a good time at whatever you choose, be you just remember to have fun.

[@CliffordFouts-uz2ji]

You said you had never seen a Twister ride before, however Indiana Beach used to have one. Not forsure if they still have it because I have not been there since the early 90s. I do know they used to be able to control the spin of each cart and you could ask them to give it to you and they could spin you so fast that you felt like you were upside down and you couldn't breath until it slowed down. You definitely wanted to ride in the back seat when they would give it to you for head support.

The Carpetbagger And Adam The Woo Are In Florida One Day They Should Band Together

So awesome enjoyed it so much thanks for sharing this love it ❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@peterdean9181]

I think you may have lost your wristband after the exploding tomato event

[@silverghostcat1924]

You're probably getting desensitized to the scary part. Now you can enjoy them more and see more things. I'm sure you'll still get startled from time to time.

[@davidabrown92]

It was sad to see that guys house burned down praying he gets everything situated and a new home loved his creation and expressions of his ideas to make a dream happen.

[@BEETHMODE84]

You should head to Fort Meyers after.

[@kristaseyler654]

We need more gorier haunted houses and haunts how bout scare fest in Kentucky or scare USA in two rivers wis ?? Also try the haunts in kc I know you'll love them !!!

[@jmorgan5252]

I think you are becoming desentitized Jacob but I'm not please keep them coming Thanks

Hey Jacob! Have you ever done Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia or Bates Motel? I’d love to see you cover them since I’ve never been brave enough to go to them

[@kathymontileone8445]

It’s Kat V

[@bg199083]

Hey Jake! Hope you go to Carnival of Horrors in Canton, Ohio this year. It will be a really interesting experience for you and like the taxidermy animals that they have at the restaurant.

[@coreym162]

Who doesn't like the spooky stuff? >:(

[@laurag-oe9xo]

The variety is nice.

[@mizu_the_floatzel]

I don't know if Jacob knows of this circus but there is a traveling show that just stopped here in Edison New Jersey which is a horror theme I don't remember it name there set up in the back of the Menlo park mall

[@DoctorVadarWho]

Tomatoes are a fruit, not a veggie

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Actually, the Gardner was named Tomato not the vegetable

What's Your Favourite Season/Food

[@sayitskay]

Yeah you are not screaming like you used to. You used to scream several screams in a row. Haven't seen you do that yet this season.

[@coreym162]

He just got scared at least twice in a row at the Halloween Horror Nights in Universal Studios Hollywood just the other day.

[@allensherrill850]

“Losing your fear” ? I offered to fly you out in California (that would be fear😮) !! 😊

He literally just flew out to California and back this last week.

@@karyn3341when he was here in California, I offered to fly him back to his airport, if he drove to my ranch to visit me first. Just a side visit with a devout patron 😢

[@Antievasive]

Day 4 of asking Carpetbagger to go to Carnival of Horrors in Canton Ohio.

[@Thecorgially]

You are my favorite vlogger but I am 100% against taxidermy.

[@coreym162]

Taxidermy is often just repurposed dead animals. Not hunted and cruelty free. That's why they look weird and flat in areas.

[@JustinAldrich-y7d]

I did not understand this one at all! Sorry

[@warmlantern0000]

Dead animals 💔💔

[@serinachilders74]

Those poor beautiful creations of God, now stuffed amusements for real monsters to look down on.

[@coreym162]

They are roadkill. Cruelty free. They don't need their bodies anymore and anything (almost) for the sake of art and science.

[@laurag-oe9xo]

Stuffed animals in museums actually show children what these animals look like instead of only seeing them in pictures. It encourages people to contribute to animal sanctuaries and advocate for the survival of different species. Most of these animals died of natural causes and are now being used so people can admire and appreciate their beauty.

[@musefien]

OMG! rumors on yahoo chat where true actor Dom Deluise's illegitimate fourth child brother is KZbins Carpetbagger and he's doing the same thing as his Daddy Dom still wearing that same old ugly hat like his dad lol selling his soul to KZbin for acting cash,money and prize's but hey i liked Dom Deluise's acting i thought he was a funny man it's too bad he had to die God bless him and his family =) keep up the good work Carpetbagger of touring all these amusement places and my favorite subject dark rides and hoowie spook houses "Happy Halloween" lol =P🎃😆😅🤓🥸🧐😜
