  • The Clown Motel in Tonopah, Nevada has been called the scariest hotel in America. The hotel has rooms themed after famous horror movies and it has a lobby with thousands of clowns on display. My dad and I spent the night at the hotel and also did some ghost hunting to see if it was haunted. Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments.

    I appreciate you guys doing a fun, lighthearted video on the Clown Motel. So many TH-camrs try to take the scary, haunted approach to this place. I've stayed there before myself in the Exorcist room. Is it a little creepy? Sure.. Especially with a cemetery right next door. But overall it's just a fun, quirky place and I had a very pleasant stay there. The owner is super nice as well.

    This is actually my favorite Pops video. I don’t know what it is but Pops seems 10+ years younger in this video, full of energy and wit and really quite funny. It takes awhile to get comfortable with a TH-cam stage presence and Pops is literally in his golden years for his zaniness and energy and is hitting an amazing stride. He’s absolutely went from a best supporting role to A-list star. More of this please!

    This is wicked cool! Clown Motel? It's full of clowns! Creepy clowns, little clowns, clowns that have blood spatter on them, you know the best kind of clowns!
    Want to shock/scare me? This place is going to have to step it up. Grew up in Boston, where there are still many 350+ year old homes. Spent a year living in Salem, MA. Yeah, Tonopah, I got that. LOL Besides, I summer near a place Steven King loves...talk about scary!
    Should Pops be using that thing? He just got abducted by aliens! LOL

    What a fun video, I have stayed at both the Clown Motel and The Mizpah and I would say if anything, The Mizpah has that more haunted feel. I took my 15 year old daughter on an adventure to The Clown Motel and we too just had fun with being there. I will say I have never ever left a set of keys on the outside of a hotel room and I did that there over night lol, kind of strange like the hat deal!

    We stayed there about 5 years ago. The creepy paintings in the room are new, those weren't there before, just some more innocent clown paintings like Red Skelton. As for the cemetery, it's very interesting but more sad than scary. A picture of the hardships of miners' lives...check it out in the daytime. As for eating at the brewery, definitely agree...great place to eat. Also, while in Tonopah, visit the Tonopah Historic Mining Park. (Love you guys, Josh and Pops...keep traveling!)
