Your travel blogs are such a vibe!! Love the Abominable Snowman t-shirt! The Horror Vibes cafe was so awesome, love all the murals! Love that you had such a fun birthday trip 💀

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

Of course Michelle loves a goosebumps shirt -- so on brand 👻

Laurennnn 🥹🥹🥹 I can feel how much love and time you put into this. Also, can I just say it’s been such a privilege to see you grow. The amount of b roll, the music, research, I’m in awe. The shot of you in your Lisa Frankenstein shirt was so good 😍 Thank you for taking the time to share your vacation with us 💜

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

It takes a thoughtful creator to recognize all the intentionality and labor that goes into making a video. Thank you for seeing how deeply I put my energy and heart into what I create for public consumption. I appreciate your words more than you know, Mandy. 🥰🥰 *hugs*

As always, your vlogs are AMAZING!!! Your vlogs are informative and so atmospheric.

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

Seriously thank you for this comment. I hope you know how much your constant support means! I tried a new editing program with this video and I had a lot of creative fun with it. Let me know if I ever over do it with the editing effects 😂

@holabooks Месяц назад

Lauren, your vlogs never cease to amaze me; your storytelling, b-roll, effects. So good 💜I always know I'm in for a treat with one of your vlogs!

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

Oh my gosh, Gaby - THANK YOU! It takes a creator to really pick up on those little things 😂 You just get it! Like how it can takes HOURS to make one little effect happen 😂 And your comment means the world to me because I actually first dreamed of creating a story-telling style travel RU-vid channel a decade ago before Happy Haunts Library was even a twinkle in my eye!! So you loving my travel vlogs brings me endless joy!! 🥰💖💜

@astoldbymaddie Месяц назад

Another travel vlog!!!! 🙌🙌🙌 Omg the Jennifer's body part of the mural is amazing. That coffee shop is so cool!! The tiki bar looks like such a fun vibe. I love living vicariously through you on your trips. Thank you for sharing with us! 🥰 I hope you had an awesome birthday!!

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

A moment of silence for the cinematic masterpiece that is Jennifer’s body!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thanks for watching, friend! You would have had a blast at that cafe. It was small but the drinks looks so yummy. I had decision paralysis for sure 🥲

@midnight-tomes Месяц назад

Lol you make a good point about "murder tours". I've done some in the past but found them hard to get through esp. when you are touring the inside of a house or something like that because the energy is just so bad in the space Love when you have a lil memento you can take home with you from visiting a new place (the bday card!) What a gorg cemetery??? It looks like a country club lol

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

I have done my fair share of true crime tours, too! There was one in LA that I did almost a decade ago where we went to places like the place where The Black Dahlia (Elizabeth Short)'s body was found. There was one time I was listening to a true crime podcast a few years back and it just clicked for me in that moment that I would absolutely HATE to be a subject on one of them. It was then and there I fell out of love with true crime. But I do love history so sometimes it intersects. I just think it's a great thing to interrogate why we are drawn to these kinds of things as humans! And you're so right, Hollywood Forever is so extravagant 😂 It's cool because they also host movie nights on the lawn, too!

@TheDavisManor Месяц назад

Again, I am in awe of your videos. 🖤 Easily one of my favorite RU-vidrs. I’m glad you had a fun LA trip!! The horror cafe looked awesome and I’d love to visit that abandoned zoo! 🖤🖤

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

Wow, okay. This is such a sweet and thoughtful comment! Seriously, thank you 🥹🥹💗💗 I appreciate your support more than you know. Being able to connect with other halloween lovers who create spooky content all year long was my whole goal with this channel, so I am SO happy to have found your channel!!

@CliffsDarkGems Месяц назад

Great tour , thank you! I love Tarantino but still need to watch that movie. Love the mix of food, cocktails, awesome ghost tours, scenery, museums and Hollywood. Happy Birthday!

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

Thanks so much for watching, Cliff! I know Los Angeles is quite a bit away from you, so hopefully this gave you the opportunity to experience it up close and personal! 👻

@Julesbooksandthings Месяц назад

I love this vlog so much! You always have the best commentary throughout! I always learn something new when I watch your videos. You legit could be a tour guide of anything. 😁Horror vibes coffee looks so cool! Love your outfits, love the drinks, love the atmosphere. Love, love, love it all! HAHA!

Isn’t it the cutest pastel hot dog stand?! I can’t wait to see your spooky honeymoon shenanigans!!

@ITCamefromthePage Месяц назад

I am very impressed how entertaining you make this vlog, because I never want to visit LA hahaha but you make it look fun. I feel completely icky about the entirety of 'Once upon a time in Hollywood' as I feel like it does exactly what you were talking about in terms of the murder tourism aspect. Hollywood forever Cemetery used to have a cat, close-up but he doesn't live there anymore. This was fantastic!

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

Oh interesting perspective. I never considered how Once Upon A Time would have an ick factor. Mostly because the ending was so cathartic for me. Thanks for always sharing your views on things!

@literarylove123 Месяц назад

I would love to visit Horror Vibes Coffee. Your trip looks like it was absolutely amazing. Happy 31st!

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

Oh you would have had A BLAST trying to choose your drink!! I am sure you would have chosen the Carmilla drink 😉

@brooklinslibrary Месяц назад

21 Minutes we are spoiled 🙏 0:50 lmao me The bamboo straws! The food looks so good in Formosa 6:29 hey gurrrls The head in the cake display took me out 💀 aw a brownie and a birthday card 😭💜 ooo she's in her Maeve Fly era. The tiki bar is almost exactly how I pictured it when reading the book except in my head it was waaay more crowded The abandoned zoo looks so cool yet eerie. I hope your trip was just as lovely as you are! 🌴🎂

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

I cut out the part of the clip where I said "there won't be any eyeballs on the menu tonight, if you know you know" but thought I sounded like a straight up weirdo to people who have never read the book. Plus it might actually be a spoiler?? 🤪

@katrinabrown Месяц назад

This was an awesome travel vlog! I've only spent a day in L.A 😂 and I think we just ended up at an in and out burger haha. Oooh, I really need to go to the Hollywood cemetery!!! 🤩🤩🤩 This was epic!!

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

Is there In n Out in Virginia? I would see why you would prioritize it on your LA trip if you didn't have one near you 😂😂 Thank you so much for watching, friend!!

@katrinabrown Месяц назад

@@happyhauntslibrary 😂 there is not an In N Out in VA! But we were in Las Vegas and did the drive there. It's kind of a creepy drive at night in the desert 😂

@kleffgoeverafter Месяц назад

Such an amazing travel vlog! So many awesome spots that one day I want to see. My wife actually lived in LA for about a year and one day wants to give me her poor girl’s guide to the city. She was in school and super broke, but has so many spots she really wants to take me to.

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

A "Poor girls guide to the city" ---- I love that! Because things add up really quickly! Especially since it's such an unwalkable city. We really had to plan strategically to make the most of ubers and driving out to areas further from our Airbnb. I'm sure living there for one year she has SO MANY great places to take you. I am so jealous of her getting to live there! It's my dream spot haha but totally not realistic 😂

@kleffgoeverafter Месяц назад

@@happyhauntslibrary You might not be once you realize how poor she was lol. She had to walk/Metro/bus everywhere and since she had to walk all the time she said she got super skinny. Though she does have wild stories of VIP events she got invited to where she ate tons of free Pad Thai, having a celebrity come to her apartment randomly, and her hatred of movie premiers shutting down her bus route. The stories though are absolutely wild!

@WickedScorpio Месяц назад

Love the tshirt!! Where did you get it?? I need some goosebumps gear Living the maeve fly life.. minus a few things 😂😂 Thank you for sharing your trip 🖤 amazing video as always ✨️🙌🏻

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

Girl I cut out the part where I made mention of eye balls not being part of the evenings events 😂 People would be so freaked out why I said that if they never read the book 😂 and I got my goosebumps shirt at Marshall’s! Pro tip: look in the men’s shirt section. They always have the horror tshirts (so annoying!!)

@ArinHoney Месяц назад

The horror cafe 😍😍😍

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

Isn't it just the coolest??? I would be so curious to know how much more amazing it would be if it had a larger space! 😍😍

@culturalcobwebs Месяц назад

Absolutely loving what you've been doing content wise with your channel! No matter the topic, your videos always are so thoughtful, and I appreciate how much hard work goes into making them. Growing up I had such a fascination with old Hollywood. You know a place is horror legit when they have a poster of 3 Women on the wall! You really found such fun places to visit! Not sure if I've mentioned this but have you listened to the podcast series Charles Manson's Hollywood? I have strong feelings about true crime but had to listen to this one for a project. The first few episodes really give an insight into the entertainment scene of the time. Makes the ending of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood even more of a gut punch.

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

I can't thank you enough for your support, Liz. Having an eclectic youtube channel is tough because it confuses the algorithm 😂 and it gets challenging to find an audience who likes all the spooky things (rather than just halloween decor hauls). Ahhh is that the one created by Karina Longworth? I binged that series a few years ago! It feel like it leans more historical because it's trying to contextualize the murders rather than build up the salacious aspects.

@culturalcobwebs Месяц назад

@@happyhauntslibrary That's the one! All of her series are so good!

@lcleighanneyoungatheart Месяц назад

Great video! I was recently in Calif I stayed in Laguna Beach then Long Beach my daughter lives in Calif. I haven’t gotten that final video together but we stayed on The Queen Mary I love that ship it’s my 5th time staying on her. You should definitely go there sometime 🩷

@happyhauntslibrary Месяц назад

Oh my gosh, I think it's DESTINY that you mentioned the Queen Mary because my mom and I have been talking about visiting her for YEARS. Maybe this is the universe pushing me to finally seriously consider it!! (She and I love going to spooky places together, like Salem so the Queen Mary is our dream spot!!) I can't wait for your vlog!!!

@lcleighanneyoungatheart Месяц назад

Yes it’s a very nostalgic feeling. I’ve stayed on her 5 x. This time I did some Paranormal hunting. I love everything about the ship age takes you back n time that’s for sure!!

This is very sweet. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and I am a second generation native. My partner is like 10th generation. It’s quite a town. You’ve picked some great places here. I love Musso & Franks. I must admit there are some places you’ve been here that I’ve never even been. I’ll have to go check them out. :) PS: Your footage looks great! May I ask, what camera did you use to Vlog this with?

@happyhauntslibrary 26 дней назад

I’m so glad I was able to entice you to visit some newer places for you. Thanks so much for watching and for commenting!! Believe it or not, I filmed every single piece of footage in this video (excluding the city drone shots which are stock footage) with my iPhone 15 Pro.
