Exploring Off-Limit Areas of the LEMP Brewery Haunted House - St. Louis, MO 4K 

As an actor at lemp I can say that walking through the building without lights & sound is one of the scariest things in STL

That place was creepy enough with the lights on and everything turned off, I can't imagine how terrifying it is when fully operational. I'm glad you took your time to really explore the place, it's amazing!

No matter how crappy I feel, how tired, how exhausted. When grimmlifecollective uploads a video I know i'm going to feel better. Thanks for the awesome content.

Neglected to say…this is the *best* haunted house you and Jessica have shown or any I e been to. This took a lot of work! It needs special recognition.

Just found this & hoping Michael & Jessica are still getting notifications on it lol. My Uncle’s built the original haunted house there in the early ‘90’s & those wooden stairs u walked down were put in by them, they were the exit back then. The freight elevator was what was used to bring patrons down into the haunted house originally. They owned the haunted house from I believe from ‘92 - ‘97/‘98. As we were building it, a friend & I went exploring very late one night down there & came across a old fire door that was cabled shut but u could peek in just enuff to get ur head in & a flashlight & we noticed the cable was attached to a pillar, we went & got crowbars & pried it open enuff to get in & found the Lemp caves, needless to say, we explored them completely for like the next 4 hours or so! It was amazing & no one had been in them in prolly over 50/60 yrs. The remains of the swimming pool were still there, along with the theater & many other things down there. We found a path that lead all the way down to a dead end which is where highway 55 is now, we were so deep underground that my cigarette went out & my lighter wouldn’t work 😂 My Uncle also took John Pertzborn ( a tv reporter ) down into the caves & it was aired on his show Pertzborn’s People! My Uncle almost got sued over it. Jess u stated in the video u worked in the haunted house back in the day…. Was it Haunted Caverns of the Lemp Brewery? Really curious lol & great video BTW 😉

I've been terrified since as a child from anything life like,wax works, show room dummies, mechanical laughing clowns,hated ghost trains and I'm from the uk! Yet when I watch all your amazing videos I feel like you've taken me under your vampire wings and i just appreciate all that is horror with you pair and feel safe x thanks for all you do this was truly awesome the elevator shaft was really spooky and creepy. this should be a tv show over here but glad for RU-vid thank you both x

Michael and Jessica have become Urban Explorers of the Strange and Spooky! That place is Fangtastic! The darkness and silence would make me anxious. Thank you for sharing. Happy Halloween 🎃🧡

Thanks for doing these. I can't go in haunts anymore due to an injury. It gives people like me a chance to see them.

Hooray! So happy you got to go here! ❤️ I went on media night the first year the haunt opened in 1995. I was staying just down the street at the time with my grandmother. Her place has been haunted for decades and she seems to think it might be due to the brewery and mansion being so close. The caves and tunnels actually extend beneath her house and believes this might be why we’ve had so much activity.

BIG SHOUTOUT TO MY UNCLE @4:08! I remember when it collapsed, I was over there at the time and we thought it was an earthquake. Crazy as hell when we walked outside.

Really like how it appeared that they kept a bunch of artifacts from the building, put them on shelves with screens over them so they could be part of the attraction while keeping to the history of the site. Great stuff!

Many of the old tunnels expanded across downtown. My mom told me some entrances were near the Mississippi river (now closed up) This occurred maybe about 5 years ago, a sink hole opened up on 6th Street and there was a old tunnel underneath. Someone's car got stuck in it, it was crazy! So whenever you drive or walk around downtown St Louis, there are tunnels below you.

The caves and tunnels actually extend beneath her house and believes this might be why we’ve had so much activity. Those large rooms were to store beer back before automatic refrigeration was possible. The caves under St. Louis attracted William Lemp from Germany because he could use them to make lagger beer. There are hidden caves all over the metro area, most which access has been removed.

Wow, what an awesome haunted house. Thanks for sharing your visit with us!

That´s what I call a grimm adventure! It's the scariest and bloodiest thing I've ever seen. The details are impressive. I also had some anxiety if any of those mannequins moved! The fact that the place is really haunted makes even more terrifying, obviously it's haunted... Happy Halloween!🎃

Now, I can imagine actors being all intertwined in those rooms.....add that to the history and it looks like an amazing haunted house. Nice little nooks and cracks for good scare actors to hide.....looks amazing. Thank you two for an inside look for folks like us who will never get a chance to attend it during the season.

Needed to comment before I finished the video. Thanks for the awesome vids. You two are keeping me entertained during this trying time. Stay safe and much love to you and Jess. 🤞✌️

That was absolutely amazing!!! Holy crap!!!!! I'd love to see all that, feel all that, with my own senses. Thank you so much for taking us on that journey. You guys are amazing. So much love and respect to you both..🌷😎🤘

Yeah, Grimms! It's always a good day when you post a new video. It is Monday and I'm at work, so I'm counting down the minutes until I get home and can watch this on my big screen TV, as your videos deserve. Can't wait to see it.

Love these lighted walk throughs. Every time I go through a haunted house I want to linger and look at everything.

I spent the night in the Lemp mansion years ago and was sick to my stomach the whole time. Once I left I was 100% better. I’m very sensitive to things and sometimes it sucks. BEAUTIFUL home and love the history! Great video AGAIN!!!❤️❤️👻👻

If you’re interested in The Lemps…American Hauntings podcast did a deep dive into the Lemp family. Troy Taylor who hosts the podcast is a STL/ILL historian and has researched the entire family. His book Suicides &Spirits is a very good read. They kept the beer in those caverns prior to refrigeration. That building needs to be saved!!!!! It’s so much more than a haunted house

hey JESSICA and MICHEAL have a wonderful week you to are amazing people

What a fascinatingly creepy experience! So cool!

What an amazing location from which to do a video. Love what you do. Thanks for taking me to places that I would never get to visit otherwise. Also I love how respectful you are with every place you go. Have a spooky day!

Adopt me as your step-grand aunt and take me with you! Thank you for sharing this adventure. So glad you were able to also give us a taste of the haunt lights and the off-limits areas. Not only was this an amazing adventure it was a documentation of history that may be gone too soon.

Absolutely wonderful, who ever set this place up needs the Oscar. ❤️

That...was...awesome, when Jessica turned around in that congregation, I almost soiled myself🤣 Another brilliant day with the everlasting Grimmlifecollective. Thank you for taking me along, thoroughly enjoyed that.🙏❤🎃 Take care, stay safe.

You guys are amazing that k you for keeping it spooky all year long💀🕷🕸🦇

If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend the Paris Catacombs and Pere Lachaise Cemetery. Both are worth the trip.

When I went to the attraction back in the ninety's they had a person pop out at you from behind a wall with a camera set up to capture your picture. Scared me so bad my eyes crossed, it was AWESOME !

I’ve been to the Lemp Mansion for dinner and then for the Haunted House. The second floor of the mansion has the most unsettling energy.

Great video. I took a haunted tour through there last summer and the guide showed us a white room in one of the basements where the killer may have kept his victims. A lot of this is hard to verify since its hard to find a good source through. I'm guessing that freight shaft you showed heads to the Cherokee cave section. That's where you will find the remains of a pool and a theater the Lemps used. I really wish they would do occasional tours down there, I'd sign up in a heart beat.

Back when I was in college, before the haunted attraction took over, they would fill the tunnels with fog around Halloween and you would take an old freight elevator down to the tunnels. There you could walk through the underground brewery in the fog, pretty much all the way back to the mansion if I remember right. They didn't need actors or props down there. It was terrifying on its own. I've been through the current haunted attraction as well and it was a blast. Tons of fog and very disorienting!

Always looking forward to you guys uploading and have loved every adventure since discovering grimmlifecollective! episode was great and spooky can't wait for the next one🧡

Thanks so much for this video! Growing up in St. Louis you always heard the stories about the caves but you only got to go unless you went to the haunt. I had all of my fingers and bones crossed you’d go here when I saw you were in St. Louis.

Yippee Yippee GrimmLife in the house! ✌️

I love when Michael refers to Jessica as "Baby Goul!"

I wonder how long and how much effort it takes to build and set up something so detailed like this place. Every prop on every inch of every corner is strategically positioned to look very realistic and, if you think about it, a lot of that would never been even noticed when it's on, because of the darkness. This is an actual museum of horror art!

MO has a lot of underground caverns.. I’ve been in a few but don’t know anything about the mansion so I’m Happy you’re covering this😁👍 Thank you both 👏🏻👏🏻♥️♥️

The ultimate spook adventure. Thanks for bringing us along. Awesome place.

I've always loved visiting caves, and caverns...How creepy, cool was this place...Thanks for bringing me along..it was like I was really there...besides freezing.

The tunnel after the "last door we can go through", reminded me of the train tunnel in Ghostbusters. "Winnnnston" Beautiful video

All I can say is wow! That was amazing. Thank you for taking your time and really showing us the place. Great video as always! :-)

That is so cool. Thank you guys for sharing! I love all the places you two get to check out and film for us. Makes me want to go to some of these places really bad. hehe...Love you guys!

Very interesting! I was expecting to see a small group of female vampires slowly emerging, softly beckoning you…coming closer, arms outstretched, smiling lovingly… I was also worried about collapse. 😳

I actually remember watching an episode of Ghost Adventures when they investigated that place, and I gotta say it's such a remarkable building ❤😊

I remember an episode of ghost adventures going to this place. Bet it was creepy being in there by yourselves, your very brave to go down there AND turn the light off haha

Thanks for making it feel like Halloween 🎃 all year long!!

Even though I live in the suburbs of St. Louis now, this is the neighborhood I grew up in. I've never been inside but it's so creepy! Great video!

Back in the day, snow would be deep during winter months, tunnels were great for that reason. Then of course the brew was keep at a prime temp year round.

I put my comment in before you got to the grotesque haunted side. Still cool but I think they should do a realistic vampire, Frankenstein themed haunt down there. Maybe it's not safe enough. But I still think it would be cool!

I really enjoy this channel because you two keep my favorite holiday all year 'round relevant. Thank you for posting

That Place Looks so wonderful. Great Video

That was a privilege...I so would loved to go through that. Awesomeness...👻

So spooky, good stuff!!

Lemp Mansion is amazing too...I have a ton of pictures from there.

Wow. That was awesome! Thank you for sharing that superscaryness with all of us. Stay safe. Can't wait to see your next video!

Just wanted to say I enjoy your channel and I've really loved the St. Louis episodes. I live in St. Louis and I don't think we get enough national recognition for all our cool sites and history.

This is so fun! Very spooky, cool, so much history... I wish I was with you guys! Such a grand lovely old building! Thanks for another awesome Grimm Adventure!🖤💀🕸🕷🌚🎃👻

Super fantastic video !! Great work !!!✌️❤🙂

This has to be the spookiest scary video tour I've seen! What makes it special is that it's a REAL building where people once worked. The building itself is well structured and solid. I am amazed that so much detail went into creating the figures, rooms and hallways. I noticed something that caught my eye: At 7:25 in the corner I see a toilet, a bathtub (?) and beside it, sitting on a stool is what looks to be an old typewriter. If that is a typewriter, well then, I better take out my typing ribbon and type in my SAVE spot because I may want to go back and continue with my journey :) Thank you Grimm for keeping me at the edge of my seat!

Great video! The brewery is so creepy. Great location for your content.

THANKS FOR SHARING!

I love it when haunt animatronics have clearly been used and abused for years. Several times in this video, you can see duct tape repairs and pool noodle arms on the animatronics. You can also see ripped latex with the foam showing through. And various repairs on the props. I think that can make them more creepy. I love it.

This is so cool that you got exclusive access to the underground tunnels. I've heard that the Lemp Family had a pool in the tunnel that was heated by the brewery's boilers. That would be cool to see if it still exists down there. Next time you visit STL you should go check out Haunted Alton and the statue of the tallest man to ever live. I'm sure Jessica knows all about that.

Michael and Jessica I live in Australia and I just love Your Channel, You have the most interesting stuff that is a wild old building have a good one Michael Svenson.

Now you are talking, a building with a bit of age used so beautifully. Really enjoyed seeing the undercroft area you explored first and appreciated the way they used the building to frame the scenes. Organ room made me laugh, organs everywhere. Loved the horned ones and the details of the carving on the victims. Brilliant video Grimms and so well filmed.

Happy Halloween! This is so fantastic! Such another fantastic adventure to start a Monday off!

I really appreciate all of your St. Louis visits. 💯💪

Cool video! My wife and I are from St. Louis originally and never visited here. Surprising since it was during the height of my goth days. Makes me miss that town. Anyway, those props in the haunted house are fantastic!!! And absolutely frightening!

They did that creepy historic building proud! It could have been really lame on the inside, but the props and decoration blend perfectly with the special character of that place. Also, It looks like it took a lot of guts to transform it, ba ha ha haaaaa : ) . . . He could have said that every two minutes of the tour, "Wow, this took a lot of guts!" "Oh, cool, this took a lot of guts!" "Now This scene took a lot of guts!"

Thank you for the walk-through I learned of the Lamb family and mansion through ghost adventures.

I really liked this one. Good job arranging this tour. Nice progression of your story too.

It's amazing with that humidity down there, the animitronics work

I'm from STL and this place is legendary! I know they use to host hardcore/punk shows in the basement back in the 2000s.

This was amazing!!! Thank you so much! Ive had sinner at the Lemp Mansion. Awesome place and history.

@11:15 lights on then off then on again!! Hey! If you’re reading this try it @ 1/2 speed ,..seriously,..it’s trippy

This place would be the best haunted house it is so creepy this would also be a good place to shoot a great horror movie nice job

This was so crazy!! Those are some of the best Halloween mannequins I have every seen!! Thanks for the tour!!😈☠️👹🎃👻

Jesus Christ, Jessica, you scared the shit out of me when you turned around in the church!!! LOL! I know it was slowly, but GEEZ!!!

Ahheuser-Bush has the same caverns. Used to keep the beer cold!

Wow - that basement is going down in my books as one of my favorite creepy places 👍👍

So nice to see they are still running haunted house at the Brewery. I went thru the place about 20 years ago. Really creepy place and the tunnels go under most of the buildings there. The mansion is haunted for real, but access is limited. Was nice eating lunch at the mansion.

I have the same hoodie love the cut out for the thump's.

I also grew up in St. Louis, I remember hearing that the Lemp family also has their ballroom in the caves below the house.

At one point in time the lemp brewery was the largest in the country. You guys should check out the lemp mansion the place is insane tunnels connect it to the brewery. And half the male heirs committed suicide there

Amazing as always guys

Man what a place! I loved every second of it

That place looks scary!! And sooo quiet! Thank you so much for this amazing video 😊

Damn. Didnt expect to see you do a video local time me. Very nice!

I got to go into the off-limit area's of the LEMP brewery as well, got to go into the caves and go down dangerous medal/steel ladders inside. The area is dangerous since the guide told me that if you stand in the watered areas the chemicals will pick up and can cause you to pass out. I also saw the marbled cave pool where the very rich swam, and the spot where 2 people were trampled to death from a cave fire, and the spot where someone fell down the well and died from impact. It was creepy seeing burnt up fire hoses that were left behind. It's true it's really cold down there!

Truly amazing adventures you two go on! Of course I am watching this while I’m eating lunch 😳 😎😆

Thank you once again for another great videk! The architecture of that place was so incredible! They really should think about turning it into some haunted walk through. People would love it!

I have been spending so much time with you guys the last two weeks. Lol. We’ve hit kind of hard times (husband has had to go on disability twice this yr) so we don’t have the money to do the Halloween things with the kiddos. These videos get me my haunted house fix so I appreciate it very much. 🧡 🎃

That was cool and creepy as hell. I could walk through it with the lights on. But not with the lights off. I've always wanted to go see the lemp mansion, but I don't see myself getting there anytime soon. But cool video. Thanks for doing this

I stayed at the Lemp Mansion. So much fun found a ghost cat during the tour. The lady across the room said you have a cat rubbing on my leg in the very upstairs. Someone knocked on our door no one was there. They said it was possibly Billy Lemps son. He liked to play pranks. I'm so jealous yall got to go through the brewery. We almost got to go under ground of the Mansion until another couple came down.

Thanks for sharing

I have wanted to see inside of that building for sometime. Thanks for exploring and showing the sites as you go. HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃!!!

Man this might be one of the coolest haunts I’ve seen. It’s in a very pretty old fashioned building right in the city and the use of gothic looking interiors and the high quality props are all so cool. Even if it’s not very conventional, it still has an amazing atmosphere. Edit: 22:14 omg you got me lmao
