My wife and I loved watching you both. Today was the first day I watched since she passed away last year. She loved you guys so much and thought you both where cool.
Aw so glad that Jessica found smiles instead of tears! You two are doing an amazing job filming the UK for us. Thank you!
Sadly a snotty attitude at first with hotel person insisting "Yes it DOES say that" on the website, and that was proven to not be the case.
These two are so in to it. Love their style, passion, and enthusiasm. Cracks me up when Michael calls Jessica “baby Ghoul”.
You two are the best! Your research is second to none. Very apparent lots of work goes into your videos. Quality always trumps quantity. Thanks.
You're enthusiasm for my country is infectious. Cornwall is stunning. It's a shame our British weather ruined your stay a little bit. You guys will always be welcome back & I thank you for uploading these fantastic videos 👍
The original Witches is the only movie I recognize! It is one of my favorite childhood movies as well❤❤❤
I’m 65 years old and The Witches is one my all time favorites!!! I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a few years and absolutely love your content, but I friggin love this video!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Who noticed the Squirrels 🐿️ running along the electrical lines at 12:30 minutes that was so cool and cute! 🐿️😍
Probably an unfortunate child who met a witch.
squizzes?
Them witches used to freak me out when I was a kid 😂
Your in Newquay! I’ve lived here my whole life! We actually went to the Headland on a school trip once to see where they filmed The Witches!
The witches scared the crap out of us as kids..fantastic film.glad you're having a blast on our side of the pond.
The Witches 1990 Is One of My Favourite Movies Of All Time 🧙🏻♂️🧙🏻🧙🏻♀️🧙🏻🧙🏻♂️🧙♂️
As a 90s baby I’ll always love this movie
The fact that Michael had a minor kerfuffle because the hotel was letting his wife down says so much about how loyal and great this couple is. So happy that Jessica got to have her dream moment (s) with the witch.
They’re an incredibly cute couple. A match made in heaven ❤
Did anyone else see the squirrel run across the wire at 12:26 onwards lol
Awesome... Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously along with your adventures ... 💖 ❤️ 😊
@DM--YT_grimmlifecollective NO
Amazing gift to the high Witch Jessica. You're awesome
I am a 62 yr old Grandmother, and I just adore ya'' as a couple. I enjoy your vids alot. Happy Halloween 2023.
I grew up loving this movie & Nicolas Roeg is my favourite director. I'd argue with anyone to this day that this is the scariest children's horror film ever made. Some genuine scary & also very creepy moments. The Erica story in the beginning is very creepy. I still think this is a scarier horror in many ways than a lot that have been made for adult audiences.
Hell yes!!! Its very underrated one of the best Halloween kid films and the fox make up is what dreams are made of or nightmare s happy Halloween 🥧👻☠💀👹🥳⚰
Roeg had a pretty much unbroken run of incredible, memorable films.
If the 'Erica Story' is the one where the child disappears into the painting, then I COMPLETELY CONCUR! The most memorable part of the film for me, was that haunting tale. Loved Mai Zetterling's warm and wise portrayal as the Grandmother, also. 🪄
Don’t Look Now is one of my fave movies and has inspired masterpiece movies such as Hereditary
Jessica, you are an incredibly kind person. This video has been the perfect end to this year’s spooky season. Also thank you for being so transparent about your experience because it does make a difference. Love you both. Happy Halloween always 🖤👻💀🎃
They helped others avoid the same crap, explaining that you don't have to book a room to walk around, or to have the tea.
YOU BOTH R SO AWESOME AT WAT U DO !!! Yet .. ENTERTAINING 🍻🍺🍻
The square toes lol but, seriously, such a classic! Great video ❤
I remember letting my girls watch this movie, a tad too young lol. They got totally freaked out😂. Oh did y'all notice the squirrels running down the power lines near the front of the school?? I know they aren't mice or rats but I guess maybe in a way they are. One splits off and runs toward the school the other keeps going straight. Pretty cool😉 Thanks for taking us all with you on your journey.
Yesterday was my paternal grandmother's birthday. She would have been 125. A day short of Halloween, but she had this wart on the tip of her tongue. She was a witch of the South.
My husband would have been tense as well, if I had not gotten the experience I was looking forward to. I am so glad they fix it for you, AS THEY SHOULD. They ( any business) should never MISLEAD people, especially at THAT PRICE. Your truly dedicated to your fans by telling the truth ❤
I'm so thrilled that it all worked out for you guys with the hotel and seeing The Grand High Witch! Seeing Jessica meeting her and giving her the purple cape from the bottom of her heart was Awesome! And seeing Michael being so happy to see Baby Ghoul in awe for getting this experience on the books was heartwarming! Love to watch you guys always! Stay safe. Happy Halloween!
Guys, this was an incredible episode. Especially being in the UK.🇬🇧 This has to be one of my top 5 episodes that both of you have filmed. Happy Halloween! Safe travels.
12:25 Love the squirrels running on the phone line. We don't have phone lines hanging from poles in Sweden anymore, they are all underground (and fiber optics) these days.
Hi Jessica and Michael I'm from Australia thank you so much for going to this hotel and showing us where the witches was made. How beautiful I'm sorry your check in was messed up but you got there in the end. When you were talk about the movie and the fruit from the scones getting eaten reminds me of my sister when she was about 2 years old got into my mum's cream biscuits (like an oreo) managed to get the biscuits undone licked the cream out put them back together and back in the biscuit barrell. My mum had visitors over brought the biscuit barrell out and had to apologize for my sister licking the cream out the middle my mum said she has never been so embarrassed in her life. Thank you again for this video and Jessica getting her high tea with the witch I'm glad you enjoyed love from Australia. 🇦🇺🖤🖤
I loved the honesty at the end. I can imagine how disappointed both of you were. Having to confront the manager must of put a dampener on what should have been an amazing experience. The hotel and the scenery looked beautiful and the locations you found at the being were real gems. I love an honest review and the both of you are genuine people, that's why I watch your channel. Happy Halloween!!
Oh I would of been so annoyed too. Coming so far for that to happen. And the money they spend staying there totally wrong how the hotel went on with them.
I loved this movie growing up. Seems that people I know never heard of this. I have found my people here. Thank you.
The Witches is a fantastic movie and book. The makeup on Anjelica is one of my favourites.
I am glad that it all turned out for u 2.Jessica looked like a little kid in a candy store. Miss u both. I will be checking this movie for sure.
Thank you for this! I love this wonderful movie. There was a slew of incredible "childrens'" movies in the 80's--Something Wicked This Way Comes, Return to Oz, Black Cauldron, The Witches, The Neverending Story, all the Jim Henson films--that just wouldn't get made today. Those movies were my gateway to loving horror. And great quality filmmaking, too.
Loved this video ! Newquay is beautiful..sorry it wasn't exactly as you expected and what a lovely thing for Jessica to do by giving her witchy cape. You looked like you had a wonderful time x
Omg I remember watching that movie when I was 7 years old! My teacher read us the book, then we watched the movie. Thank you for bringing back good memories ❤
Jessica looked amazing in her cape, I love that Michael called her a Hammer girl 💜 great video & review!
Thankyou for this insight to the booking of the posting and the hotel experience. Sorry to hear it wasn’t as magical as it could have been for a 5 star hotel I would have thought you were looked after better. £1200 is alot of money! You we’re both very professional throughout the video with the witch you were so lovely to give the shawl as a gift! Sending my love to you both. ❤
@@official..Grimmlifecollective what’s the surprise?
Happy Halloween from da UK 🇬🇧
LOVE this!!!! Halloween!
This video is soo awesome. It takes me back to my childhood. Loved the witch and baby Ghouls interactions with eachother. 😊❤
Happy Halloween!!! Stay spooky as always!
Jessica's outfit is very gorgeous and her standing on the oceans cliff,wind blowin.. that's a wonderful scene.. and it didn't come from a movie. Just natural. Y'all really did great job on this video.. thanks for sharin..
I am so happy that you both invited us to come with you both so thank you
So excited to watch this!! Love The Witches and came upon the hotel by accident on a family holiday as a kid in the late 90s! “Papa…papa….papa”
Happy Halloween
One of my favourite movies a s kid! I dunno how many times we rented this VHS from our local Blockbuster haha! Good times! (or 'Ghoul times!') 👻
Awesome episode to watch at midnight.. trick or treat… definitely been treated 🎃
Happy Halloween 🎃👻 Grimm life Michael and Jessica great video...👻🎃🦴💀🦇🕸️🕷️.. Mary M
Thank you Michael and Jessica what a fantastic video! So sorry Jessica this disappointing experience happened and it made you cry. Your skirt was so beautiful both on you and the high witch. Sweet of you to give it to her. Happy Halloween! Can't wait to see your next video.
I was sad to hear about the experience too, but thought that was cute that she gifted the cape to the grand high witch - I'm the maker of the cape by the way! :) :)
@@superstitchous Do you make made to order costumes ? If you don’t you should . Quite the dress and cape you made for Jessica . A talented individual . This from a gal who can only sew on buttons lol.
@@superstitchous I’m am glad you replied in the comments. I needed to know who made it, as it’s so beautiful , I gave you a follow on IG
The hotel the place the fog the beach 🏝️ wow 😨 love the vibe of that place amazing 🤩 happy Halloween 🎃 guys
So glad you have made it over to the UK and hope your are enjoying your visit.
This was amazing Michael and Jessica, we were in Newquay in the Summer, and went around the grounds. Adore Cornwall ❤. Spent my honeymoon there in 2016 too. You both did an amazing job. And Jessica’s kindness to the grand high witch. Loved it all. Wishing you a spooky and happy Halloween 🎃 🦇 xx
Such an awesome video. When grimmlife teased this a few weeks ago I figured it was going to be like this and they didn't disappoint. What an awesome way to spend Halloween and thank you grimms for taking us along. Happy Halloween to the grimms and to all the grimmlife collective subscribers. Happy Halloween 🎃
I am extremely impressed with the two of you. I’ve been a KZheadr for years and never found anything as exciting and informative as the two of you, and you’re a beautiful couple. I am a shut in and 70 years old and find your contact quite entertaining, but not just that, it’s also educational.
I’m in my mid 30’s now but I worked at this hotel for a few years back in 2006-2009 as a waiter/porter. Lot of good memories! As a huge fan of the movie as a kid I was obviously so stoked I was able to get a job there even if it did mean relocating at the time. Other than some licks of paint here and there it’s barely changed!
The view of the ocean from your guys balcony is astonishing!😮
Happy Halloween Lovelies! 🥰💛🦇🎃 I’m so glad everything worked out for you and you had a *magical* time! Thank you for all these absolutely *amazing* videos you are creating 🦇🎃 Hope you are having the vacation of a lifetime! 🥰💛🦇
You two are so patient, so polite, and easygoing, that expressing your struggles with the hotel, is very unusual. It’s not ranting, it’s real life and your not going to sugarcoat it, which is what we want. I watch your postings for the entertainment and educational value, which includes the good, the bad, and the ugly. Glad everything worked out, in the end.
One of my favorite childhood movies as well.
Newquay has always been my happy place. Glad you could experience the place also.
The cape you guys gifted the witch was so perfect with the rest of her outfit! Honestly completed her look!
Thumbs up Big like thanks for sharing 👍
Don't worry about it guys Happy Halloween.
I have never seen the movie but I will be watching it now. I love this episode.
Great movie thanks for your surprise l treasure it always a kind happy message from a happy spooky couple with a heart of gold 😊
HAPPY HALLOWEEN GRIMM LIFE COLLECTIVE 🎃👻🦇💜🖤 Thank you for keeping it Halloween all year long!! Love Grimm💜🖤🎥
The photographs of the filming of the treehouse scenes are so cool. Huge thanks to the owner of that house for sharing
I've never even heard of this movie until now & I'm 57! Thanks to you, I'm gonna have to watch it now! 😎👍
This video was a blast! the original witches is one of my all time favorites! I got chills too when the hotel came into frame. And I like your sweater too 22:00 🧙 ❤ Thank you for sharing your experience with us
Happy Halloween 🎃
The 1990 movie was great. I didn't hate the new one, The Grimm life collective just brings it.
I'm in tears myself after hearing that Baby Goul was so disappointed...
OMG - Cookham, Maidenhead, Mapledurham, Windsor, London...my old "stomping" grounds. I'm just loving these videos Michael and Jessica...you bring it all back to life for me, I thank you for that.
Im so happy that you both are loving the UK. The thought and planning that you have done is untold This location is INSANE!!!!! So sorry the hotel were less than transparent, even liars regarding meeting the Grand High Witch! Thank you for taking us with you and HAPPY HALLOWEEEN 🖤🤘🏻
First recorded instance of surfing in England occurred in 1890 when two visiting Hawaiian princes and their English tutor rode waves in the east Yorkshire resort of Bridlington in the North Sea.
If I were able to travel there, besides staying at the hotel I would go to that little village nearby!
one of my all time childhood movies. was just thinking about it. glad you guys made a video on it wow
One of your very best shows. I enjoyed the whole thing. Thank you for sharing and caring.
This was great! This film was fun to watch as a kid and now. lol Glad everything worked out for you 2 at the Hotel. Nice meet and greet with the Grand High Witch.
♥️ My dear Grimm. So l❤ving your europe adventures! Wonderful video. Enchanting visit with High Witch. Beautiful location and great pastry treats. Jessica. You are beautiful.l❤ve you!
I can’t wait to watch this a bit later today. Happy Halloween! 🍂🎃🍂
Happy Halloween 🎃!!! Stay spooky 👻. The Grimms Rock!
Great job keeping it together thru the initial witchy disappointment. I enjoyed going along for the ride. What a view! Looking forward to watching the movie now
My son was almost a year old when this movie was released. I haven't watched this movie in ages. I definitely have to watch this movie again. I love everything about this video. This hotel, next to the ocean, magical.
First of all your attention to detail is exemplary. The research involved must be exhaustive. Excellent work. Secondly you guys are awesome. Much appreciated. You truly deserve many accolades. Where soever your adventures take you, travel safely. So glad you decided to visit the UK. We are blessed to have you here.
Love your vlogs over the years and love your uk vlogs. HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃
I literally said "Awe" with such joy...when the picture was taken of Jessica & the Witch at the staircase. Dreams do come true. Lovely spooky 👻
I am so in love of this movie. Baby Ghoul, what an honor that the Grand High Witch wore your cape for the rest of her appearance!
Great video guys. Being a fellow Witches fan, I’ve driven up to look at that hotel a few times whilst visiting that area. Really cool to see inside and know they embrace the whole thing. Shame about the “Hubbub” but glad it got resolved and didn’t taint the experience too much. So generous of you to gift the cape, I hope she appreciated it. Happy Halloween! 🐭 🎃 👻
Happy Halloween to both of you!!! 😎 🎃 😎 🎃 👍
Witchtastic! I love the sign...open all day for food, drinks, and well being. Priceless. And I must visit and be among witches who also are not fans of children. What a perfect place. Very nice Halloween special.
Happy Halloween 👻 🎃🥸🤡keep up the great vids and be safe 🤟🤟🤟
Happy Halloween guy's always enjoying the content let's Goooo!!😊👍🎃🎃
Happy Halloween! So cool that you are in the uk this year, thanks for all the spooks, David.
Our home is in Newquay. Surfs pumping that day. We were probably out at some point. Amazing to see our town on your channel. Yewww 🤙🤙😁
The is one of my all time classic favorites ! , thanks for sharing ❤
Great video guys Happy Halloween 🎃 🎃
I love The Witches. It scared the crap out of my 10 year old self and still gives me the creeps 😂 I haven't watched it for 2 or 3 years. Great job and Happy Halloween! 🎃 🦇 Also,the Hammer reference is spot on 😂
I was 2 when it came out, and it almost traumatized me as a toddler. lol
Honestly, I’m not all that much of fan of The Witches. However I will say the original is far better than that awful🤮 2020 version.
Michael & Jessica, you are always professional, respectful and as always excellent.....
Cornwall is my absolute happy place. Grew up loving the Witches & can’t believe I’m only just realising it was filmed in Newquay! So glad you got to visit the area!
I've never actually seen The Witches, but I hear it's... trippy. Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween! 🎃 It’s so interesting to watch your videos of the filming locations, info on the actors, events and history of films. Thanks for sharing your experience and videos! ❤🎃 👻 🧙♀️
