Kersey Valley Spooky Woods - HALLOWEEN Haunt Behind The Scenes Tour (Archdale, NC) 4K 

From someone who lives about 25 minutes from here, I want to say 'Thank You' for coming to NC. So glad you got to go through this Halloween staple for the people of the Triad in North Carolina!

My family has the misconception that because I love horror, that I don't get scared. Oh no, I definitely get scared but love it at the same time 😂. I feel like Jessica emulates this so well in this video!

Kersey Valley is a community staple. I go every year and have NEVER been disappointed. So glad you guys got to see this awesome haunt!!!!!

Love how the tour guide was so passionate for his job and also the environment..Also the way they find ways to up cycle their props and recreate, especially having the organs inside the body’s..Another great spooky adventure ❤

I live near Spooky Woods and it's wildly popular during haunt season. They change it every year to keep people coming back and it works!

North Carolina Yes!!! You’re in my home state! Kersey Valley is a staple in NC. ALSO it usually gets in the top 10 HAUNTS in the NATION! This is awesome

The owner of the property has such amazing memories i could listen to him all day, what a great well put together haunt, i bet it's a totally different feeling when all the Scare Actors are all in play. Jessica what a scream, i hope you don't lose your voice this year... just great haunts so far, you both traveled some distance to get from your last location to NC, be safe be good and mostly be spooked, Happy Halloween 🎃 you 2 love bird's, keep on flying. Hugs from wisconsin ❤

Spookywoods was my local big haunt growing up and it was/is a treasure! I met Tony and Donna and they were so friendly to me when I was just a teenager who was interested in haunts. They let me work in the house, the ghost town, and the Spookywoods and it was some of the best times ever! Now, about 18 years later, I run my own charity haunt so that I can hopefully help create fun memories for the people in my community like Spookywoods did for me.

Harp is amazing 👏 he needs a raise!

I live in Archdale and I absolutely love spooky woods it’s amazing!

Ever since I was a little girl I've been scared of haunted houses. It is scary ....!! 😨 I had a heart attack this past March. A few weeks later I was standing at the kitchen sink. I felt someone tap me on my right shoulder. I thought it was one of my grandkids wanting something. I turned around and no one was there. The grandkids were sitting at the kitchen table playing. They weren't paying me any attention. I thought... I wonder what that was all about? It was kinda strange, especially right after having that heart attack. 😳😱

I think out of everywhere you’ve ever been these people care the most about what they do, my god. So passionate

the guy with the blue hair is such a great story teller and scene setter!! super fun vid!!! Happy Halloween!!

The owner Tony, what a nice gentleman he is. I could listen to his stories for hours. The memories he has just made my heart feel good. Thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure with us. As always Happy Halloween,

that scream by Jessica around 38 minutes was pure terror hahaha

I love how this is a family created event. The whole thing shows how much love has been put into it, thank you for showing us this

Oh this is literally the cream of the crop! May this haunted house continue for 30+ years! Such a great video.

The owner is so wholesome. Loved this. 🥰🎃

What lovely people behind all this amazing place..Feels like it's a big family vibe they have going there...

Yessss I spy my bestie Soraja 🧡🧡🧡 . Seriously spooky woods is a top notch haunt!!.

Well it’s that time of year. Fantastic fall channel! Stay safe, stay spooky 👻

I LOVE THIS MAN'S ENERGY. Luckily for me. I am in NC and I have been planning out my October, we are most def coming through !

It was very cool to see Jessica scream that much. I don't think I've ever seen a place get her like this one did.

We had a haunted forest hay wagon ride at a buddies farm years ago in the 80's . It was very cool with a werewolf following the wagon. Until some kid fell off the wagon and got hurt and had to shut er down after only a week 😎🇨🇦

This place is so cool. I enjoy hearing the passion being expressed by the owner and workers here. I'm enjoying these behind the scene tours. Jessica's screams sounded just like screams from a horror movie.

Somebody doing what they love as a job..is amazing.

I love the energy and passion everyone has! So fun!

Enjoyed! I love the guy’s story: his little teenage dream! He followed his passion & persistence & patience & blood, sweat & tears (hopefully no real blood 😂) made his dream come true & it’s his full-time income as a man! I love small business success stories & this is definitely one - & it put a smile on my face! The place is great. So much thought & heart goes into it! I love the joy & happy passion of the set & art designers & tour guides. The outdoors is magical. I was looking for yard ideas 😄. The levels were cool & nothing like scares to scare the heck outta me! Thanks for the tour of another great place! Cheers!

Tony starts talking about the past he actually starts looking and acting 30 years younger, mannerisms, speech patterns, all of it

My goodness, his passion for the spooky stuff is unrivaled!! Really in depth explaining the whole experience. And once again, Michael and Jessica brought us into and through this Grimm Adventure. You once again brightened my day guys, and I'll be waiting with baited breath for another Grimm Adventure. Bless your hearts and Happy Halloween to my favorite people🎃💀👻

Wow, i have lived in the triad for 16 years and have never been to spookywoods at night, i have been to kerseyvalley in the daytime for the pumpkin patch and other events. I scare very easily and dont think i could handle it ( jumped multiple times watching this ) however as an artist and photographer. i can truly appreciate and absolutely love the AMAZING and Beautiful details that were imagined, designed, physically created, the cost, time and effort to build, the fact that so much is repurposed to build into another set or character. my mind is truly blown i had no idea there was so much behind the scenes. Congratulations and thank you to the owner, and all of his staff for EVERYTHING they do to make this such a success. i have several friends who are scare actors their and know many who have enjoyed this place for many years. I wish i could physically see it in person but due to health reasons i have to appreciate from a distance. Thank you to the creater of this channel for making this video and showing those of us unable to go in person this little glimpse inside the town of kersey valley ..

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the interviews with the artists!!

The folks who create these kinds of haunts makes my heart happy. Their passion and hard work is admired and appreciated. Thanks for showcasing these awesome people!

That was awesome deluxe!!! What a totally creative, creepy, eerie, all absorbing story and haunt with so much detail n music n sounds n animatronics n the sets are like an actual theatrical stage play with many scene changes all strung together to create a magnificent story n haunt!!!! The hand painted star n cloud ceiling is phenomenal!!! It looks just like the projected ceiling in the first Harry Potter movie in the banquet room at the Hogwarts Castle!!! It is a wonder!!! 🌃🪄🌚🖤Also very very impressive are the moving portraits, which again, remind me of the Harry Potter Hogwarts castle portraits that are moving and interactive, but yours are totally spookier and more in depth!!! I have never seen art like that in my 65 yrs of life, and I am a student of all types of paintings!!!Using wood from the actual "Spookywoods" themselves is an intensely involved concept putting spiritualism into the equation, just as you said Michael!!! Great observation!!! Attagirl, Jessica, for getting the body bag named after you, as well as for even going through those extremely scary n nerve wracking haunts as you do so well!!!!, The people who worked there and narrated were excellent speakers, and you could tell they were totally dedicated to their work, which is so refreshing these days, especially among younger people!! The owners ingenuity and creative drive and vision since a teenager is so impressive, and the entire staging of the buildings way off in the eerie gold n orange light as seen through the cornfield is epic!!!!This is one of the BEST CREATIVE and professionally polished haunts you have ever presented to us. The last tour guide with the long greenish hair is an excellent speaker and narrator and instructor and really is a very very talented designer as are all the workers there!!! Greatest haunt you have ever shown so far as I have been observing for almost a year now!!!! Attaboy, Grimms!!! Thank you ever so for this presentation!!!🪄🎃💥💯🌟🖤🧡🧡🖤⚰️🔮🪦🗝️🎃🌠🌙💀💩👺💫

I love this ! Was getting teary eyed watching the emotions of reminiscing! Outstanding show

the coolest thing about one of the actors is that they needed someone who looked like their legs were cut off and they used a double amputee. he wasnt offended though. loved it

What has impressed me is the ultimate passion everyone has towards this. They are really like a family, who work together, respect and love each other. Great presentation...thank you for bringing us this experience.

Thank you, for making me part of your travels , what an amazing life you both have , you guys worked hard ! So proud and happy for you both ( soft spot for baby ghoul!

What a beautiful story and an amazing haunt! This touched my little black heart, thank you so much 🖤

You guys are right down the road from my town! I've become a big fan of your channel. Hope you had a great time!

They all have a lot of passion for what they do which is always good to see in these behind the scenes videos. Another great haunt!

It's like something out of "Children of the Corn!" Fantastic! I am so glad you uploaded a new video, Michael! Your channel is by far the best on RU-vid. I wish you and Jessica all the success and happiness in the world. 🍁🍂

Thank you both for doing this series! I draw a lot of inspiration from these videos for my own props and floor plans. Definitely looking forward to watching this one later.

Looks like a spooky haunt, thanks for the video.

The hanging mason jar lights are gorgeous.

I go here every year! I love it

What a cool old school claustic haunt. The smaller the space the better for those tronic's and sound is amplified big time in the space. Scaretastic!

I love the fact that you knew when Jessica screamed. Ever in case of something scary you are already alert!! Love you guys ❤️‍🔥👻😱

He is really engaged into his project! It’s really funny to hear him talking about the first versions of his horror house

Wow another great 🎃 Halloween video, it always amazing to me how much technology has changed over the years you guys are showing us a real good haunting season, and the scares are very good, the places you go are so far very good happy Halloween to both of you,

Had to comment again such a nice man to share his memories with everyone ❤

Kersey Valley is a perfect example of what a fantastic haunt should look like. It has an indepth story that seeps into your surroundings flawlessly. Everything is executed with perfection, and nothing seems out of place either. Now I want to see what it's like with the scare actors inside. Definitely adding this to my bucket list!

Wow!! Spookywoods is amazing!! How fun and different from most haunted places🏚️. Great crew doing the effects. ☺️. Kudos to all. 🎃

Your guys get the best behind the scenes spooky tours out of anyone on RU-vid 👻🎃love this channel and you both

Just stay safe guys. World is a bit off key at the moment. You guys are better than what's on TV. Much more information based and your presentation skills is way better than Ghost adventures. Sorry Zak.

When you told her I hear a kid her look was like WTH? haha You could tell that was a genuine reaction.

I don't know how you all find these places but wow. Michael when you said family friendly I thought this was going to be like my local farm's "haunted house" and corn maze lol. But THIS is another level. These people are all so creative and passionate I just love it. They all love their jobs and you can tell. They got the formula right here and it shows. Amazing place😉🎃🎃🎃Happy Halloween 🎃

Awesome haunt. The cave mine was great. I love how Joe used "we" for everything, instead of taking all or any of the credit.

This might actually be my favorite Grimm life collective video of all time! So awesome seeing the love, knowledge and passion these individuals have for what they do. I loved learning about the history and seeing the passion and commitment the owner still has for Kersey Valley Spooky Woods. Also, freaking love that hoodie Jessica is wearing! LMAO @ Michael for standing back with the light while making Jessica go ahead in the dark by herself to deal with all the jump scares. 🤣

I really loved their take on props and making so many props interactive for the actors! I've been really loving this series so far in general. It's great seeing how much passion everyone has for their sites and its been really interesting how different each tour has been led by the different workers.

Love these videos sooo much! Thanks for showing us all these great spooks we have around the country. My grandma’s sister used to have a corn field in Colorado and it was terrifying - even during the day 🫣. There’s something about the sound the wind makes when it travels through corn stalks.

Y'all done got me all excited about Allhallows Eve again this year. That place looks...and SOUNDS amazing.

I just want to say you two are amazing and I saw the both of you at Oogie Boogie Bash opening night and I was so star struck. I love you two! Keep doing what you’re doing and Happy Halloween 🖤🎃🦇

This is awesome.You can feel the passion they put into it.The child's voice may have cone from the portrait in the other room.They are digital and will speak. It is cool to have possible real ghost as well

Yes thats what they did back in 85, u was 18yrs old, haunted houses were like this!!❤

As an nc native...this is iconic for Halloween in nc! Can't tell you how huge this is for North carolinians....thank you for this exclusive, unique look at this nostalgic childhood haunt!

Loved the outside of the house I could only imagine seeing it through a cornfield, great job guys, as always. Happy Hallowseve.

Absolutely love your videos! Hope to see more of other haunts! You guys definitely do the best haunt videos!💯💙

Man, I'm only 15min in and I'm hooked. I'm about a 5 hrs drive from them! Might have to take a weekend up there. Love this, and love you both!! Much love from Atlanta, Ga. And as ALWAYS, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

As a NC girl I can say I LOVE spookywoods. Always a great time and look forward to going every year because they change the attraction every time. I know people who have worked here and almost worked here myself and can honestly the staff is amazing!! I was so excited when I saw this come across my notifications. I tell everyone to go here!!

Man I love GrimmLifeCollective..y'all are freaking awesome.

This is some awesome stuff!!!! Love the channel guys!!

Literally 5 min in and adding this to list without even seeing the haunt. The history behind it and the owner's personality already sold me! Great vlog!

oh yes Micheal and Jessica cool as heckings this place just like u too really enjoyed this as with all your vlogs , love to the channel and as always happy Halloween to u both

It was so awesome to hear the history of Spooky Woods. I’ve been there. Phenomenal attraction. It means a lot more now to have heard the stories. Thanks for doing this guys!

So far I will say out of the three so far this one is my favorite.

I live in Canada, if I was American, I'd visit every Grimmlife adventure!🐔But at least I get the virtual tours, thank you.

just found your channel two days ago and the way you two interact with each other and interact in the houses its different and very lovely to see. also seeing Jessica's voice go very small when she gets really excited or really scared is just adorable. Keep up the amazing adventures and stay spooky you two

I love how immersive you two get in these haunts. The proper way to go through a haunt. Thank you! Now I want to go experience this haunt. 🥺🤩

This place is huge and beautiful! Man I love this series of videos, they get better and better every time!

So cool! Love how he has been doing that for a while and loves haunted spooky stuff. Those pictures are super cool that are like they are alive pulling her face off. Wow! I can't wait to go watch all of the other video's in your link if I haven't already seen them. hehe... Thank you for taking us on another fun tour!! Love you & Jessica! 🖤🧡🖤

Aww he is nostalgic and I love that thank you for going into these places and getting the beginning story for us... I growing up used to go every summer to a campground now we we are talking about a trailer park built by the owners in 77 and they camped the whole time they were making from woods to a campground anyway they never did much when it came to upgrades so they had this big ole barn and they kept everything lol every car they ever drove etc lol but they closed up oct 1 so they always celebrate Halloween the last weekend so they had hayrides thru the woods and they let the kids do a haunted house in the old barn omg we would do all kinds of different things we saw in movies my favorite was when they did a scene when they had a lil girl praying at the bottom of the bed like a normal thing and as she started to lay down Freddie jumped out of the covers ahhhh everyone went screaming running out the door and Leatherface was there to meet them with his chainsaw truly scary for a kid in the early 90's

I work there!! its so amazing and all the staff is so nice and considerate about everything. Kersey Valley is Family Fun and Friendly for all ages! but when it get dark.....that's when Spooky woods comes to play! they have positions for everyone and all things scary! even the food!

36:14 "This section is just....creepy" -Thank You!

That owner seems like a real nice guy

I went through as a customer in 1988. I was there when they still had the slide. I made Spookywoods my #1 stop for the season each year I was able to go. Now, I work there! I started as a scare actor in 2017 and have been a midway character since 2019. I also work year round on Zipline, laser tag, axe throwing and help paint and stain some before the busy season starts. Thanks for coming out! You both did a spectacular job showing the amazing behind the scenes fun stuff!

Keep that awesome content coming guys! I love how much I learned about how a haunted house works...just fantastic guys! stay spooky!

NC native so amazing to have met the owner on this video and hear his story. Glad you two made it this way. I love 15 minutes from there. A year later then when you two visited but I just found your channel yesterday.

Really enjoyed this one, especially being from NC and having visited this haunt regularly over the years. Ran into you guys at HHN Orlando a few days ago and you were both so lovely to chat with! Happy Halloween!
