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.

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 😁

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.

R.I.P. David Bowie 💔😭

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

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

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 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 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.

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!!

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

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.

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

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

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 🤎🔮🦉

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...

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

That is my most favorite movie... Bowie nailed that part so perfectly. I loved the wall maze as soon as it' appeared. Sooo cool.

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

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

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.

Awesome film and a great upload 👊🏻😁

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. :)

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

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

Another killer video!!! I saw Labyrinth when it opened at our local Drive-In. I was 11 years old. My kids both love the film as well and we watch it together yearly. I’ve got the movie poster framed up in our living room. Anyway always great work! R.I.P. David Bowie & Jim Henson

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

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

Yeah labyrinth is a classic film

😮 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 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.

I was obsessed with labyrinth as a kid and never in a million years did I imagine would be able see videos showing the filming locations of these iconic scenes. Amazing.

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

Labyrinth is my go-to movie when I'm feeling down and need something to watch that I know will take my mind off things AND leave me with a warm heart. I had no idea the opening scenes were filmed in England and now a visit to that park is definitely on my bucket list (I'm English, if that wasn't obvious...!) I'm glad you had such fun running over the bridge and it's cool to see it from other angles and see that it's actually grassy ON the bridge itself, and isn't bare stone. Thank you!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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 daughter loves this film. It's now generational ❤

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

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

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!!

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 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.

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

I just always kind of assumed it was all filmed on a sound stage. It's really cool to think that there are a few actual filming locations that still exist today, mostly unchanged by time. One of my favorite movies growing up.

David bowie loved Transylvania...

"Baby Ghoul". Love it!

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 🎃.

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? :)

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! 👻

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

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

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

"well... laugh" ~Jared (David Bowie)

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.

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

I’ve seen this film so many times! A wonderful film!

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

AWESOME!!!!! Labyrinth is out of this world!! I MISS David Bowie!!!😣😣😞😞❤❤, Thank you for sharing, You guys ROCK!!

What a classic excellent film brings back happy memories 😊

The labyrinth is in my top 3 movies ever!!! David Bowie was phenomenal in the movie. Man I’d love to go to these places some day

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

I’ve not watched much of your videos, but my husband loves them. He sent this to me earlier because Labyrinth has been one of my favorite movies since I was 4. I’m 34 now & in a Labyrinth fan club facebook group! 😊 I thought this was SO cool. I’ll have to check out more of your content. Thanks for filming this! ❤

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

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

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...

My first celebrity crush was David Bowie as Jareth in Labyrinth. I think I was 10 years old when I first saw the movie. It's still my all time favourite one! And the soundtrack is amazing too! Thank you for this! ♥

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

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!

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

Thanks for sharing. I loved the film ever since I was a kid, and recently bought it on 4K. It’s so beautiful. I now have to visit that bridge! I’m only the other side of London, it’s a couple of hours away. I had no idea.

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.

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.

One of my favorites movies ever 🎉🎉🎉🎉

My mom and I saw it at the theater a couple months ago (re-release). I was born in 84 so I never got to go to when it was released. SO GOOD. My childhood on screen. Massive Bowie fan to this day.

Great job. Glad to see Jessica have such fun.

Makes me want to watch it!

Absolutely one of my favorites of all time too! I fell in love with these magical creatures and locations seeing it in the theater back in the 80s! The goblins specifically inspired my love of monsters and horror.

great video, I love Labyrinth and the Dark Crystal.

Lovely video! RIP David Bowie. Swan swan hummingbird hurrah…

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

walked through that park many years ago with my mother .yes saw the movie at the flicks im a David bowie fan he was a great performer Ziggy stardust was a classic

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

Crazy that the first time I have watched Labyrinth was early this year even though I had a huge crush on Jennifer Connelly growing up. 😅
