The maze was filmed in London on a soundstage.

[@janiceevans]

Jen looks so good. You can tell she is getting healthy 🤗🥰

[@lydiapurple]

Jen is a very convincing Jack Torrance 😂😂

[@lydiapurple]

Ps this is one of my favorite videos, love you guys❤

[@Gail_P]

Jenn, you nailed the scene with Jack Torrance. Great job!

[@nashvillain2010]

Hilarious skit guys, you fooled me! Jenn played a meanie and scared me.

[@Hauntmaster15]

OMG who else was fooled by Jenn's performance for a second....I was so shocked 🤯👏👏👏

[@MikeWeiner]

Me! I fell for it 100%!!!

[@allytebow]

Went on the last tour of the night in 2021, I caught the janitor in a picture down in his room in the basement. Caught him in the bathroom mirror, love this place so much! It is truly beautiful ❤

[@flyacow]

This looks like a fun video to watch. The mountains in the background look incredible.

[@MG2000MDPHD]

Just the drive up to the hotel is amazing!

[@Iron-Van]

indeed

[@drea62279]

❤❤😂😂😂the laptop skit was superb❤❤❤

[@louisplaat8984]

Me and wife stayed at a large haunted bed and breakfast in Saratoga NY and there was a snow storm so everyone else had cancelled so we were the only ones there. It was around holidays so it was pretty but def extra creepy.

[@lizlocher3612]

Love Jenn's nails so art deco to match the scary bathroom colours, which is definitely Art Deco style, as is the fabulous elevator!!! Classy!!!

[@lesliegriffith9830]

He did make violins. Back in the early 80s, my mother and I attended a concert in the music room of the Stanley. 2 students from university of Northern Colorado were performing with 2 of the violins he made. It was beautiful. Thank you for this video. I remember the Stanley going way back to the mid 60s. It was really grand then.

[@melissadiaries]

Jen wanting to kick the kid on the bike had me laughing forever lol what a fun adventure you guys had!

[@cherylzamule888]

Hi Jacob and Jen 😊my husband and I must go to the hotel! I read the book but have not seen the movie. After listening to you I have to watch the movie! You are a great narrator. Thank you for taking us along. 😊

[@theadventuresedge6771]

Jen has an awesome throwing arm and great aim! 😂😂😂 She really got you with the snowballs! 😀

[@mindakochis7396]

I stayed in the Stanley before the renovations and it definitely had more of a creepy vibe. Glad you got to stay there! I adore Estes! Glad you’re enjoy CO! Definitely go stay at The Timberline Lodge, where the filming took place!

[@guygrip9634]

JENS QUITE PERSONALITY. I LAUGH SO HARD WHEN SHE SAID JACK NICKLESON WAS OFF WALL RIGHT FROM BEGINNING. SO FUNNY. .

[@Retromicky82]

NO TV AND NO BEER MAKE HOMER GO CRAZY!!!!

[@discostu5426]

Lulz....so true

[@MP-gm5gg]

The Over Look. Way cool! thank you, Jacob and Jen . The renactment scene was really good. Lol. Thanks.

[@history_leisure]

237 could be a closet or laundry room. I know in some of my college dorms, they would use higher numbers for closets, laundry, and the toilet and shower rooms in my freshman dorm (it has a weird layout)

[@davidgerhardt5324]

In the Book he hits the kid while drunk long before ever going to the hotel. The movie didn’t make him violent it is in the first few chapters of the book king wrote himself. He is just changing his story over time to hide his own issues.

[@ichtyophobia]

I think that too. I think this story shows so much more. When people are isolated for mong periods the shadows of them selfs will show up. All those things they have pushed down will go up to the surface. I think this story showe that so well. I have a hypthesis of this movie. I see A guy who wants to give a shining. To look like a grate father, husband and writer. But he actually wants to party all night an meet other men.

[@c.rogers____]

😂❤ You Two are so much fun together! Great video.

[@angelarowe3472]

Good morning; I love you two so much. ❤. You guys are so cute together and I love Jen. She reminds me. I’m always klutzy and getting into stuff that I shouldn’t and running into things.😮🥴. I enjoy your post videos. Thank you for sharing you take care and have a great safe day. Keep up the good work.❤️🫶🏻🤠

[@wizzwamf]

love you and jen together so cute

[@ruruo6890]

I love to see this wonderful heartwarming relationship between you and Jenn❤️

[@silverghostcat1924]

Also, Doctor Sleep is a pretty good movie, as is the book. With Ewan McGregor as a grown up Danny Torrance.

[@elsiegon7118]

🤣🤣🤣 I loved when Jen started singing “it’s Electric “, the Electric slide dance song.. lol. Hey Jacob and Jen, thank you for sharing another one of your great adventures.. creeped me out when i saw my name on the pet cemetery grave stone 😮😮

[@elf5012]

I agree with you, Kubrik's version of The Shining is one of the best horror movies ever made.

[@willbusch5760]

The mini series is great definitely get a copy, I think the hotel sells copies, at least when I was there. It really features the hotel and I remember watching the series with my mom when it came out and I would dream of visiting that hotel one day. The actors who play Jack and Wendy are good, Jack isn't as intense lol.

[@jimmymelendez1836]

*definitely

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Morning Jenny Penny and Jacob. Awesome to see you both in the video. Thanks for sharing this.🤓🤓📸✌️ The Stanley hotel would be great to see in person. I would stay overnight there, it maybe expensive for one night.

[@user-ss8qg1ud2h]

Watching this video right now. Incredibly neat video! Thank you so much Jacob! Jenn you look so pretty! Have a great day!

[@MattTheLizard]

All Jacob and Jenn videos make Matt a happy boy

[@metalzombie6669]

Hey Jacob, you guys are about 45 minutes up the road from me, I'm in Loveland, Co., I don't know if u heard, the first Colorado Buc-ee's in Johnstown grand opening was yesterday, its off the I-25 and the 60, you guys should definitely check it out while you are here. I haven't been there yet, too crazy busy for me, I might go at midnight tonight. I watch you and Adam the Woo every single day.

[@unicorn063]

Love Jen playing snow balls with you 😂😂😂😂😂

[@EpiCTriPpiNDeAdaHeAd]

[@paigewillow8768]

They make winterized crocs.

[@Blessard23]

Love the video Jen is so funny Should have her in more of your videos Great job

[@vikinggenie]

Longmont, CO is where my boyfriend has family ... So cool you all were there.

[@carriesherman4757]

Love seeing you guys together! Four stars for the snowballs!

[@deborahchoi1149]

This was a really fun and funny vlog! Love you two together.

[@themadness6018]

My wife and I stayed there 10 or so years ago and they had a channel with The Shining playing all night. Great movie to fall asleep to while we stayed there!

[@Mrs.Frankenstein]

Such a beautiful place! ❤

[@kilo-watt]

Love the Stanley. Stayed there during a snow storm two years ago and it felt like being in the Shining.

[@glennjudd2467]

What a amazing place ! Beautiful hotel ! You both had a ball ! Love it !

[@mollyreaves5429]

My friend is a night watchman here. I’ve always wanted to see a tour of the place! Thanks for the video.

[@Murkoph]

"This maze isn't for snowballs, Jen! It's for killing your family!" XD

[@alliekuma4234]

You guys are hilarious. I'm glad nobody broke into your room with an axe. 😊

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Jenn is cute as a button! 😊 I love how much fun ya'll have together. Great pair! ❤ Ya'll have fun 😃

[@AnaGonzalez-yo9iz]

Hello Carpet Bagger! Jenn throwing snow balls at you and you calling her mean was funny! I was laughing out loud! I have actually watched parts of the Steven King's version of The Shining mini series. Anyway You and Jenn are great together.

[@victoriastrong9771]

Jen looks amazing in the gray outfit! That style is super cute!!! Great video with both of you as always!

[@ksaucegti]

One of my top favorite movies. Love y'alls little recreations while staying there. Safe travels.

[@lauriemathon7074]

Great video😮Jen could be an actress❤😂

[@lemn8]

Very nice of you Jacob to pretend you saw a boy on a tricycle just to keep Jen calm. But you and I both know she has the ability to "Shine"😅. ❤

[@CCcastro336]

Great video. This place is amazing. Thank you for sharing this. The tour looked real good too.

[@Helene_M2019]

One of my fave places to visit. Loved the video thanks for all you do to bring us along.

[@BigDJr777]

I live here in Colorado. I love that place. It said guests only upstairs. Something told me to go up stairs. So I did.

[@phillipfaulkner192]

We will be there later this week.

[@jenren024cma4]

Love Jen's outfit. Love that Grey top.

[@abigailgoltz1181]

I literally saw you there today, I wanted to go up and say hello but I was on the tour lol

[@ichtyophobia]

Thanks for showing this. I have always liked this movie and people still talks about the shining. The acutall shining is the shine the protsgonist behaviour. He pretends to be someone he isn't and the isolation makes him "explode". I have my hypothesis about this movie. The protsgonist (played by Jack Nicholson) is secetrely loving men. He is just having a wife and a kid just because society wants him to do that. When he gets isolated and stressed his shadowpersona tskes over. He actually wants to party, drink and meet other men. But he haves his responsibilities to be a husband, father and an authour. He is pushed from every way and he freaks out. In one scene close to the ending, for some secounds, you can see two men being intimate. They have masks on them. This small glimps in the moovie gave me an A + in movie analysis. It was forbidden for a man to love a other man in these times and to even think about it. I think staley wanted to tell us something more with this movie. For me It's a story about what isolation could pull out of persons anf how much a person could hide from him self and those close to him untill it all brakes. Just like the blood from the elevstors.

[@ab942]

lol, I got Jen’s, “it’s electric “.

[@caminindogood3835]

You guys are so cute together! Great video!!

[@Adventures-with-Mel]

😂All work and no play makes Jen a dull girl.. 😂 You two are the best.. You didn't see the twins at the end of the hall, did you? 😬🥶

[@roxannmapes-clute4669]

Jen, you look amazing.

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Hi Jacob and Jennifer 🙋🏽. You are some really brave people 😅

[@danalynch8889]

Jen is the best part of this video, I love her throwing snowballs at you.

[@brendacorley6869]

From the opening approach shots (LOL), I knew this would be a great video!

[@LinecookThorJamiethaxton]

Awesome video of you Jacob and Jenn keep up the awesome work and be safe out there and I'm glad you are having a great time with your family

[@jeffreygonzales3603]

Just started watching Via the Woo! im now Subscribed!

[@jpskellington6195]

Very Kewl! My aunt was snowed in there with Motley Crew back in the 80"s. I actually have a dvd cooy of the newer addition of The Shining.

[@laurad7155]

Love this video!!! Always wanted to stay there. Thanks!

[@m.hreels9822]

When Jen was in the bathtub pretending to be that old lady from The shining cracked me up she's like I'm a young lady now I'm old and rotten 😂 not in a mean way it just was so cute and it made me laugh so hard 🤣 👍🏻 22:30 Lol

[@carmensmithaguirre3049]

Hahaha oh my gosh the bit with Jen typing!!😂

[@LonelyGrandmaMary]

Hey Jacob, love your videos! I did a search and found that version of the shining on Amazon for $14.99. Hope that helps you.

[@willbusch5760]

They actually break the glass for the key in the movie when it get won't stop running over and over in the mini series. Theres a ton of scenes that take place in the lobby, and they have the doll house from the mini series

[@dianadelahaye7660]

Beautiful hotel😊Oh no, their first fight.!😮

[@Savagemister]

The croquet mallet vs the ax is similar to another Steven King novel made into a movie: Misery. In the movie she wrecks dude's feet with a sledgehammer, but in the book she uses an ax to cut one of his feet full off.

[@Julie-ms9ss]

Great video, Jacob. ❤. Tell Jen I like her shirt. 👕

[@loravaloo55]

Love the long intro. Thanks!!!! ♥♥♥♥

[@peytons.sawyer1731]

I know that they sell dvds in the gift shop at the Stanley I bought the miniseries of The Shinning their. So hopefully you can find the dvd in the gift shop

[@jevs402]

If the schedule allows, October is great for the haunted tour of the hotel and grounds. It’s really fun.

[@suemoo22]

Wow, that hotel made Jenn go crazy throwing snowballs!

[@themagicalcapricorn]

This has been my favorite video of your! I just got back from the Stanley hotel! Love it

[@RoseTintMyWorld-cr5zo]

SO COOL!! The Shining is my favorite horror movie too! I loved the scene you guys remade 😂Jenn did a great job, but she's so sweet that even in that stern voice she is nowhere near Jack Torrance levels of mean LOL

[@bunnymomjulie6719]

How completely fun. Now I want to read the book too! I think I'd like that story better! I really love the green bathtub. I would totally fit in that thing. But spooky, and the number of people who have done weird things in that room would freak me out. I love the things in the gift shop made from the print of the movie carpet. Very beautiful place.

[@guygrip9634]

Did you see bunny man he he red rim red rum lol

[@EpiCTriPpiNDeAdaHeAd]

Looks like amazon has the series

[@EpiCTriPpiNDeAdaHeAd]

i was just going to recommend "look movie" lol

[@EpiCTriPpiNDeAdaHeAd]

great acting Jenn! scared me... lol

[@MatthewSaunders-mx8gw]

She’s looking fabulous and beautiful 🤩

[@michellelilljack5514]

Wow. ..nice way to talk to him.

[@rachel_espinoza]

I took a tour here! I loved it. Estes Park is one of my favorite places here in Colorado.

[@meaganmiles7770]

I know this sounds weird, but watching the Shining relaxes me,,,lol

[@creedysgirl]

I have the DVD of the 1990s Shining. One of my favorites.

[@SpookyAppalachia]

Hey this is so awesome! Adding it to my bucket list of places to go and possibly film on my channel too@

[@dianachurch3408]

I'm enjoying u two and the xnowballs😂

[@jmorgan5252]

Thank you Jacob and Jenn I live about 50 miles from the Stanley and have visited many times, there was only one time I felt a presence and that was in the Ball Room

[@dennisk2982]

Suddenly I have a craving to watch the Shining.😂, love your Videos.

[@joshisdovahkiin84]

Jen is a lady after my own heart talking about that room being hot

[@paulfuryes203]

Great Great Great video guys that place is on my bucket list. Take care my friends and safe travels.

[@kookiemonster9222]

Really enjoyed this adventure - what fun! 👻

[@Gemashke]

That is hilarious about the little kid on the tricycle! Ha ha ha!!
