The ceiling was GORGEOUS 🤩
Awesome video. The Ghostbusters movies were my childhood. RIP Harold Ramis...aka Eguen Spangler
Dan Aykroyd's dad was a ghost/paranormal hunter while he was growing up. When asked about his work with Ghostbusters he said, “It's the family business, for God's sake"

Reading the messages sometimes I miss read it. I actually didn't know. Thanks for the info. I just remembered the part about his brother. I didn't know his father was into it also. Wondering who got who into ghost hunting.
Little side note, it was only the basement scenes where they see the librarian ghost that was filmed at the LA library. The upstairs is in New York :)

A few years back, a few friends and I got a tour of Rat Alley, the basement of the LA Library, from a gentleman who was there when they filmed.

That’s odd. Didn’t they film the outskirts in NYC? So they would have had to have flown a few thousand miles just to do that Basement scene? They may as well have done it on a sound stage.

I've been to the firehouse in New York. It's still a working firehouse and they use the Ghostbusters logo as their mascot. It's a very cool place to visit!

They filmed Bill Murray, Paul Rudd & the others there for Good Morning America.
When visiting the Biltmore hotel you forgot to mention it was the last place Elizabeth Short' The Black Dahlia ' was seen alive. Since you did a video on her previously I was surprised you didn't mention it.
Two other spots you can check out in LA, are from Ghostbusters II when they are digging the hole in the middle of the street, and when they go to see the Mayor, that house, which was also used in The Big Lebowski if i remember correctly. Great video guys x

Dude. The stand in for Gracie Mansion is the loading dock at the Biltmore was also used in Stripes in 1980.
Did you know the birthday scene in Ghostbusters II was filmed on the 3rd floor of that L.A. Firehouse?
Ahhh back when hollywood used actual locations to shoot movies. Now a days you wanna visit a film set just buy a green curtain.
The lady with her thumb up her nose in that photo is legendary comedian Martha Raye, known for entertaining the troops for many years and many movies, commercials and tv shows. She played Benita Bizarre on the 70’s kid show “The Bugaloos”
@Grimmlifecollective they do a haunted L.A. walking tour and the Biltmore Hotel is one of the locations they take u to.
Dan having shown his paranormal experience in the movie makes me laugh every time. 😂😂😂😂
Grimm i can't even begin to tell you guy's how much I enjoy watching your KZread videos. I am a huge fan of Ghostbusters
The Stay Puff Marshmelow Man is so cute and adorable. 😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️😁👍👍💜💜😍😍😍
9:30/ Fun fact: Another 80's classic utilized this very hotel.... BACHELOR PARTY! Yup, the Tom Hanks comedy used the Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel for some of the interior AND exterior shots...
The good old days. Ghostbusters is a great movie. I love watching it over and over again. I do miss Egon. I do like the female Ghostbusters too.
Ghost Busters is one of my favorite TV shows and movies. I have every one that came out
Oh my gosh, love these movies! I actually use the Ghostbusters theme as a ring tone for one of my contacts! 😁

Never! I swear if I make it to heaven there will be men with leaf blowers waiting as they open the pearly gates. Cue the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme.
If you drive by Sony studios going down Culver (westbound) you can usually spot the Ectomobile parked in the lot. You have to look between the gap in fence right before you hit the Overland light. I used to always see it being driven up and down Culver late at night. Got a video of it once right next to me. Pretty cool I think

Ghostbusters is one of my all-time favorite movies. Wasn't a huge fan of the female version. Was a little too cheesy. But could have been worse. Love that you did this.

Cool video! Another neat side note of the firehouse.. it was also used to film Ripleys Auto in The Mask with Jim Carrey! Even the three wooden lockers are still there!! Lol good thing Ripleys didn't work on Ecto-1
My favorite channel posting about my favorite movie....we love to see it
I love y’all videos ‼️‼️y’all have lured me away from dearly departed tours😆
Health and Safety Unsafe Emergency Fire Rod. I miss the better days. Yes getting old. Brilliant movie and cast, always will be. Thanks for exploring and sharing your experiences.
Great video! I didn't know the firehouse interior was back in L.A. Love your channel!
Love you guys watching now
Theres many 80s movies i love watching every few years and both Ghostbusters 1 and 2 are on that list! I hated the remake with the girls but the most recent one with Paul Rudd was actually good! I still miss Egon. RIP Ivan Reitman. He was my favorite and his one liners always cracked me up.I also loved the cartoon as a kid.

Awesome filming 👍 love your Ghostbuster shirt 👕 Hello from Guadalajara Mexico
Great video guys. Did you know the bodyguard and the infamous banana scene from beverly hills cop was filmed there? There was a fire at the los Angeles library I guess the basement is no longer there.
Wow? Thanks guys, what a beautiful hotel x
My favorite part about Ghostbusters is that Louis and Dana..... well, you know.. he was the Key Master. Another amazing walk along adventure with the GLC. Grimm for Life!
Dan Aykroyd's dad was into paranormal. Samuel Peter Aykroyd. He has a book published entitled A History of Ghost..
The Biltmore Hotel was also the last place where they saw Elizabeth Short, AKA "The Black Dahlia" on January 9th 1947 before she went missing for a week and was found grizzly murdered on January 15 1947 on a vacant lot on South Norton Ave.
Thanks man. 1979 eh? I was born in 69. I really wish I had got to see GB in the theater, but I don't remember going to movies with my dad from 1982 to his death in 1990 when I was 20 - I think the last movie I saw with him was Quest for Fire when I was 12 in 1981.
The hand kills me every video
What a Great Fun Movie 🎥🍿 Love those times in Movies ⭐💪
One of my good friends lived in the iconic CPW building and used to always hang out on the roof. That roof is much larger than what the set shown in the movie. But it was fun pretending the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man came walking down Columbus Circle.
Omgggg yay I love ghost buster
18:56 - I like her little eye brows :3
Glad you were able to tour the hotel. Great video.😎👍
I ain't afraid of no ghost 👻, I remember that when the movie came out that there was a toll free number to call the Ghostbusters, great movie and great memories
Wonderful. I think the girl with her finger in her nose is Martha Raye,
I can’t believe I missed this one! Awesome as usual
Love the channel. Appreciate all your efforts to line up shots (correctly). I’m an actor and also a huge film fan. Anything BTS or then and now still fascinates me even though some of them are films and tv shows I’ve actually been in. Fun facts about the Biltmore Hotel. Beverly Hills cop was also filmed there and the famous banana in the tailpipe scene was shot across the street on Olive next to Pershing square. The bar at the biltmore is also the last known place where Elizabeth was scene before she was murdered. I heard she frequented that bar a lot as it was her favorite. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Even though I was born in the 2000s I love Ghostbusters well any 80s movie they are just so creative it's so cool
I love all the videos you post!!! This is awesome!!
Awsome, well done, the eerie , ghostly links in the Biltmore too
Wow back to my childhood with this video Ghostbusters is the best
Very well put together video. Thanks!
You both are one of my favorite videos to watch I thought 💭 that your both was cool 😎 at the two events you were at this year
Also never knew that the crew and Dan Aykroyd and Mama Cass all both encountered poltergeist activity and also surprised the there were 2 famous people Mama Cass and the one from the National Lampoon that lived where Dan Aykroyd used to lived that definitely surprised me
Wow incredible video!!!
I've been slimmed! Love the videos and keep them coming. Be safe and rock on
My high school prom was at the Biltmore in 1995 and I remember thinking it was the fanciest place I had ever been!! I hope it never changes

Both the Ghostbusters films 🎥 are the best. Sorry Indiana Jones.
the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO was the Shining inspiration actually
I was fourteen when the original Ghostbusters came out, watched it every night for a week in the cinema because my sister was an usher there in the UK 😁😁👍👍👍
I love that movie. I used to have some of the ghostbusters backpack.
The Biltmore Hotel also was in the Johnny Depp movie Blow
This is awesome!! So cool they let you film that✌💙🙏
A lot of great history lesson about a great movie and then some. Awesome.
Dope video. Officially subscribed.
That was cool. Nice video
This is a great video yes that was a great movie thank you bringing back great memories
Really gourgous building! Cool past too:)
Beautiful video guys, ❤️
Wow...you two amaze me. Always enjoy your content and appreciate the hard work you put into them. This is one of my all time favorite movies 😊
The lift scene in ghostbusters was from that hotel also. Great vid. 👍👍
Never seen this before , great video !
Love Ghostbusters...the originals are the best!
Great video!!!
Awesome video love Ghostbusters
Don’t quote me on this, but If I recall correctly Dan Aykroyd was inspired to write Ghostbusters due to the fact that his entire family was obsessed with the occult and paranormal phenomenon. I’m not saying the house didn’t offer some inspiration for the story but Dan Aykroyd has been obsessed with occult and the paranormal his entire life and it was inspired by his upbringing.
He was writing a scene in Ghostbusters the night before John Belushi died.
We have a ghost cat. you feel it jump up on the bed and move around looking for a spot to sleep(if you have cats you will know the feeling when they do it). both me and the misses have felt it . I first thought it was 1 of our cats, but I would turn over to see which 1 it was and nothing was there. this happened about 5-6 times before I mentioned it to the misses. she straight away said I have also felt that . its only when we are alone in the bed and never together. I've now felt it around 20 times over the past 2-3 years .

1:44 Dragnet came out in 1987, Ghostbusters came out in 1984, so I doubt it.
That hotel is next level awesome, great vid, thanks.
Very cool. The lady that has her thumb on her nose is, Martha Raye.
The interior of that LA firehouse also had V.I. Warshowski and yes The Mask and I think My Girl 2 another Aykroyd vehicle.
Your video intros is the best...👍🏻
Brilliant guys as always
Very cool thank you
Those golden elevator doors look very familiar if you've play the Ghostbusters video game.
hi guys love your videos... Baby Ghoul that guy you're pointing at is Glenn Miller.. famous big band orchestrator
Another great video
I believe The Stanley Hotel was the inspiration for the shining, not the Biltmore. Although it was a common misconception from what I have briefly researched.
