Labyrinth (1986) Filming Locations - Then and NOW 4K 

Not only is Labyrinth one of my favourite childhood films, but I also have a very personal connection to it. After my dad's cousin's passing in 2012, I inherited the necklace worn by David Bowie in Labyrinth. It turns out that my dad's cousin (who I loved very much) worked on the film and hit it off with Bowie, who gifted him the necklace. Everytime I see people express appreciation for the worm, or the old man with the bird on his head, it warms my heart because that's what my dad's cousin worked on.

Labyrinth, Legend, and The Neverending Story were my childhood trifecta. Man, to be a kid curled up on the sofa watching them was just magic.

Labyrinth is a classic. If you're a 70s or 80s baby you got into this film when it came out. It was a great time in cinema.

OMG 😮 This is my absolute all-time favorite film because it has EVERYTHING in it: light horror, fantasy, handmade effects, best atmosphere, humor, love, wonderful friends, incredibly great ideas and last but not least a great score and great songs by the great David Bowie. The ending of the film is one of the best I've ever seen and the characters are just awesome, especially Sir Dydimus. I remember that as a teenager, after the film, I borrowed the soundtrack as an LP from the school library bus, copied it onto a MC tape and listened to it over and over again on my Walkman while I rode my BMX bike around the area. I saw the movie first on Betamax Video, later on VHS, then I owned 2 DVD Versions and now 2 BluRay Versions. For all these reasons, this film is and remains my No. 1 and after that come films like Jaws 1+2, Highlander, The Crow, A Nightmare On Elm Street 1+3, Trick'r'Treat, Fright Night 1+2, Evil Dead 2, Braindead ('Dead Alive' in America), The Blob (1988), Bill & Ted 1-3 and so on. So thank you for this wonderful post 🙏 Maybe I should think about traveling to there, too, because it's not soooo far away from Köln 😁

The imagery in 80s films can never be matched. They stick with you forever. Such a magical time. Great video guys.

Labyrinth will always be one of my favourite 80’s movies. The puppetry, Jennifer Connelly, David Bowie! Can’t get any better.

R.I.P. David Bowie 💔😭

This movie defined so many of our 80’s childhoods. What a gem. And thanks for showing us the locations!

I think you two should be Jareth and Sarah for Halloween this year. I grew up with this film and I have nothing but happy memories of it. I think if I had to pick a favorite scene, it'd be the ballroom fantasy/"As The World Falls Down". Jim Henson was a wonderful human being, as well as a great talent. I wish he knew how much love there is for this film (and The Dark Crystal).

This movie’s soundtrack is in my playlist ;) “Goblin King Goblin King wherever you may be, come and take this child far away from me” Who doesn’t love this movie? ♥️🦉

This and Never Ending Story are both my favorite movies of all time. Such great memories ❤

A fun although brief adventure. I was fortunate enough to have seen Bowie in concert back in the 80's on the Serious Moonlight Tour. RIP legend, musical genius, one of my all-time favorites.

The Hell fire caves in West Wycombe are really cool if you had time to visit them. Lots of history.

I cant believe that starting was filmed in the UK, I can't look back on my childhood the same way. This changes everything.

I clicked on this notification so fast! Labyrinth is one of my favorite movies that still stick with me even to this day from my childhood. That, Dark Crystal and Never-Ending Story. Yes, I'm always going to be a Jim Henson/Henson Studios fan. Labyrinth had some amazing music and Sarah's dress from the masquerade scene is still something I'd love to eventally make just to say I did it. To this day, I still say "Ello" to people too. That little worm is amazing. I had the fortunate joy of seeing my favorite character from the film, Sir Didymus, in person for the puppet at the puppetry museum in Atlanta when we went for the Dark Crystal exhibit and I had no clue they also would have some Labyrinth stuff there. I fan girled so hard at that and took so many pictures and video of him. It was in fantastic conditon still and will forever be something I cherish. Also, rest well David Bowie. Gone, but never forgotten. ❤❤❤

A child hood dream come true! Labyrinth is a classic to remember and seeing Jessica run across the bridge multiple times made me smile. Thank you Grimm's that was an amazing adventure!!

I grew up in West Wycombe, the monuments were fake I never saw them there growing up. I love the Labyrinth I never get tired of watching it and David Bowie no one could replace him. I heard talk about a remake you can't remake this film the same as Rocky horror should never be messed with

Thank you for visiting this amazing location, Labyrinth is my childhood and cannot get enough of it. It also shows how beautiful England is! Absolutely stunning.

Awesome film and a great upload 👊🏻😁

Still watch it probably once a year since it came out. Damn what an experience as a kid.

I was born in '86, so the year Labyrinth came out. I eventually watched it in the early 90s on VHS and it became one of my favorite films as a kid. I bugged my parents to buy the tape and they did. I must've worn it out.

I literally just watched this, yet again for the billionth time, on Peacock. Mr. Henson was killing it in the 80's. This was just 4 years after The Dark Crystal...

Labyrinth is my all time favourite childhood movie 😍🙌🏻 I can watch it literally everyday and still love it ! Jim Henson & David Bowie are heroes of mine , loved this vlog guys , really dear to my heart 🤎🔮🦉

My jaw was on the floor through this entire video--just amazing. Thank you for sending me back in time!

I’ve been obsessed with Labyrinth since I saw it in the cinema when I was 12 years old

I was born May 6 1976 so I was 10 in 1986 when this movie came out in theaters. It at first didn't do well with mix review, but over times it becomes a cult classic. Thanks Mike for sharing this. Rest in peace 🕊️ David Bowie.

I enjoy your content .. I can’t believe you was in Wycombe ! It’s 10 mins from where I live .. and to learn this was the filming location is just amazing ! Thankyou .. keep up the great videos 🙂👍👍👍👍

My wife and I got engaged on that bridge in 89

Labyrinth and dark crystal are two of my all time favorite movies and this is so cool

I'd watch the labyrinth on repeat on VHS I was so obsessed with that movie. I would wear out the VHS tape then somehow return it and rent it out again. There's so much to love about that movie.

The guys throwing their heads really f’d me up as a kid but I love the song they sing. ❤️‍🔥

Great pick of locations! Labyrinth is such a legendary movie. The songs were playing. I'm my mind when I was watching this. Today's youth need more fun movies like this one.

My Daughter loved this when it came out, She was 5 years old. Great Kiddie Movie!

This movie is a national treasure for anyone of any age. Terrific job guys in bringing the magic back and taking us back in time to this beloved movie.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this! I used to dream about running through that park like Sarah, confronting the Goblin King! Y'all out there making my dreams come true!!

I'm a 2000s baby but luckily my parents brought this into my life as a kid and it has since been my all time favourite movie. Parents passed down great taste if i do say so myself haha

Heckons yes! Can’t wait to give this a watch. One of my childhood favorites! Thanks for sharing!

Omg just watched this twice in two diffrent countries and am amazed you guys did this vid!!!

I love the Labyrinth. It's one of my all-time favorite movies.❤

I’m a 90’s baby and I love Labyrinth, can’t believe this film is nearly celebrating 40 years

My daughter loves this film. It's now generational ❤

I'm a gen z and I adore this movie! Jim Henson was amazing with this concept

Labyrinth, one of my favourite films ever, glad to see Jessica having fun in the park. Jim Henson was a legend.

Worth every second of the wait and a great start to the GLC UK TOUR. Thanks for dragging us across the Atlantic. Grimm for Life! 👻

One of David Bowies best movie. RIP Sir David Bowie, we miss you:))

Sarahhhhhhhh.. Great movie me and my daughter still watch it, we still dance to the songs!! Thank you Grimm.🖤

I absolutely adore the film, Labyrinth. I am also a David Bowie fan. I love Jim Henson films. To me, Labyrinth is magical. It's a timeless classic that can be enjoyed by all ages. :)

Never clicked so fast ,perfection as always ,thanks guys 👍💪😉

My absolute favorite movie of all time. I hunted down and built a cg model of the actual labyrinth and have a few pictures of it during creation. I plan to build a miniature of the throne room next year to fit the David Bowie action figure. I would love to see that place in real life.

I think like most people of my generation Labyrinth was my introduction to David Bowie A few years back I rented the DVD from my local library and I still felt the same magic I felt when I first saw it as a kid

This is still not only one of my favorite childhood movies but is still one of my favorites ❤

One of my favorite movies💖💖💖🥰🥰 this is an amazing treat! Thank you for showing this!!

The Grimms Rock 🪨 🎸!!! I'm so happy you guys are safe and cranking out some kickass UK 🇬🇧 videos 📹!!!

I was born in 1971. I fell in love with Jennifer Connelly when I aw this film. Not even Bowie's hilarious spray-on pants could distract me from Jennifer.

😮 you have to mention my favorite movie that came out the year I was born!!! ❤ love it!!! Definitely love it!! David Bowie will always be remembered for this movie.

great video, I love Labyrinth and the Dark Crystal.

One of my favorites movies ever 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Oh my gosh, I have memorized nearly this entire movie. I’ve watched it so many times. So happy you guys made this !

I just saw that movie last year and David Bowie was perfect as the Goblin King. I can't imagine no one else playing that role. I loved that scene that he's singing and dancing with the baby, that song is amazing. Glad you got this video together, It was well worth it you two.

David bowie loved Transylvania...

My favorite movie! 💜 love and appreciate the filming/travel commitment for the best fan video😍

Thankyou for the tour. An iconic and timeless film!

What a classic excellent film brings back happy memories 😊

Labrynth was such an awesome movie. David Bowie was such an amazing actor who would be sorely missed. Thank-you for this incredible journey. Happy 🎃.

Jim Henson is an unsung master and Labyrinth was a master piece. Another great video. I’m not a nostalgic person for my childhood but a lot of the movies sets you visit where definitely part of my childhood. Looking forward to the next one.

Thank you so much, I love this movie so much ❤ Loved David Bowie, what a legend ❤

DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT ! THANKS GUYS ! ONE OF MY FAVORITES ! 😍

Yeah labyrinth is a classic film

One thing i really love: the soundtrack you play over her running in the rain changes the atmosphere completely... much as I love 'Underground' this other one (i think it's 'Into the Labyrinth'?) makes the scene way more sinister and a taste of what's to come. Thank you so much for the dedication to travel to both locations. I've seen photos before but on video is something else.

This is one of my favorite movies as a child still is growing up. I love this so much ❤

No, it's unbelievably cool you can do the scenes over again. Love it!! Thanks Grimm and Jessica 😊

Never heard of this movie. Feels like I've seen this video before. Feels this way with most of your videos now.

I am so happy 😂❤. Labyrinth is how I became a huge Bowie fan.

You two are the sweetest couple to watch! You're so supportive of eachother 💕

Great video - especially when the swan was swimming in the exact same spot as in the movie. You know, it reminds me of the time I BSed my way into Pinewood Studios in the summer of 1985. I was 19 years old and I had an appointment to meet Roy Field, who contributed to the effects of Superman the Movie, and of course Labyrinth. Within a minute of meeting him, Field could sniff that I was just a movie-obsessed kid, but he kept the meeting going and was extremely kind and forthcoming. He showed me what he was working on re Labyrinth, then he took me on a tour of some of the soundstages. I was actually allowed to go on to a large Aliens set - specifically, the corridors of one of the ships. Then, he said goodbye and put me into the hands of another SPFX fellow - who turned out to have been a Kubrick crew member on 2001. He showed me around some more of the studio (including walking past Jim Henson’s office - he wasn’t in that day), and then my visit ended. That was nearly 40 years ago, but I still have vivid memories of the experience. I’m sure it wouldn’t be quite as easy to get into the studio now...

I do miss David Bowie!!! I need to watch the movie again...

I absolutely love this movie growing up, Jennifer was my first crush plus I love Jim Henson and his creature workshop since the Tale of the bunny picnic, then Bowie and the soundtrack ❤ I grew up with Fraggle Rock and the Muppet movies Dark Crystal etc but there's something about Labyrinth, so special. It's so lovely to see these filming locations and your passion for the movie

love the Labyrinth soundtrack.

This is why I subscribed. You both take us back to the best of what retro, pop culture goodness had to offer (and still does!) from every genre. From Horror to sci-fi, to family fantasy, to celebrities we adore, this channel brings it home! Thank you.

Such a sweet and wholesome video. Best film ever - Bowie, Jim Henson, George Lucas, Terry Jones - what a team. Nothing beats practical sets and animatronics

What a beautiful first location in particular. I just found out the location was also used for a film adaptation of a book written in my home town. My sister is 14 years older than me, so I got the relationship straight away. I was little older than Toby when it came out and I saw it for the first time. This film is absolute magic. It is a great influence on my gothic interest and art to this day.

I love time travel movies and film locations they are so stunning. Happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃🎃👻👻👻👻

Makes me want to watch it!

So, very, very cool to see this! Thank you both so much! Yes, Labyrinth is definitely one of my FAVORITE movies! A very beautiful and creative movie. I miss David Bowie! Oh, my heart!

Omg yeah my most fave 80s film. I love Ludo. Thanks for doing this Michael & Jessica. Awesome vid. Happy Halloween. 🎃🎃🎃

Diving into this adventure now! So sorry I’m late to it! 👻🦇💚

Thank you for this video! This was so well-made and fun to watch. I love how you interpose the current shots with the exact scenes in the movie. Your enthusiasm for what you do is infectious. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos!

First off beautiful video. Thx for sharing. And it’s also one of my favorites. I even named my 2nd son Toby and when he was born he wore a red and white striped onesie too. All the nurses loved it. lol. Also Wendy and Brian froud had their son Toby in the movie as the baby. They also worked on dark crystal. Another favorite movie.

Finally a video on one of my favorite movies from the 1980s.

Another film along with never ending story my middle sis and I got to see in the cinema

One of my favorite films of all time. 👏 👏 Am i not the only one who wanted to be Sara, dancing at that masquerade with the Goblin King aka David Bowie? :)

My little Boy is Called Toby after the baby in the Movie🎬 . my Favourite Movie Rip David Bowie😢 love his Songs🎵

I loved the movie Labyrinth and I Applaud you and jessica for showing where labyrinth was filmed

I own a copy of Labyrinth on DVD

Thank you so much for doing this video. First because Labyrinth is one of my favorite movies and second because I also adore Jim Henson‘s work, but even more so because you visited Nyack, New York which is very close to my hometown. I have been living abroad for some time now and it always does my soul good to see others also enjoying their time there! Thanks for the virtual visit 🤗It’s a lovely place! So much history and timeless architecture!!

You both are my favorites. Consistently fabulous work and the best commentary. Thank you 🥰

Even now I still can’t get “you remind me of the babe!” out of my head. That was my favorite song in the whole movie.

One of the best movies my step mom introduced me to as a child

Being a Bowie fan, of course Labyrinth is one of my all time favorite moves. I'm so jealous...you two get to go to all the cool places lol Really fun video.

Very cool. Absolutely love this movie. It was my ultimate childhood movie growing up.
