I was introduced to this film WAY to young. I’m 25 today, though I truly feel I’ve lived through the good ole days. Due to my love and knowledge for cult classics. I think I started watching this in 2001 when I was either 4 or 5. I remember watching the Hollow Man, the Fly, Child’s play, IT, Flowers In the attic, Duel, Sleepstalker, around that age.
Same here, I was about 5 or so when I watched it, and lone too...eek. I just recently watched it and as emotionless as I typically am to modern day horror, gory, scary movies...I realized that I shouldn't have seen this movie at that age. The psychological torture of the kids, by their own family, the abandonment from their mother, and the death of the mother is quite intense and quite brilliant too...just not the best to watch so young.
I remember ordering Flowers in the Attic in the 1980’s through Book of the month club. Your first order was buy one and get 13 free. I eventually had the whole series.
I was reading her books in the mid 80s. Became my favorite author. RIP. Her ghost writer was pretty good but you could see the difference in writing. The movies never did justice to the books imo. Very cool you did this, kinda surprised me. 🖤🖤
Thank you for doing a homage to the film! I’m a longtime fan of V.C. Andrews. My favorite series has always been the Dollanganger family series but my favorite book is ‘Garden of Shadows’ which is actually the story of the Grandmother in ‘Flowers in the Attic.’ The book was written mostly by V.C. Andrews’ ghostwriter as she’d started on it shortly before she passed away. I first read it when I was about 13 and have read the series several times over the years…. ‘Garden of Shadows’ pretty much explains why the Grandmother was so bitter! No one could’ve played that Grandmother better than Louise Fletcher though! She was brilliant. It was those very stories, along with reading Stephen King, that inspired me to become a writer and I always wondered where they filmed ‘Flowers in The Attic’. Thanks for another great video! 🌹
Hi Michael and Jessica! - Great video on Flowers in the Attic! The Name of the house in Massachusetts is called " Cranes Castle" in Ipswich MA. This Mansion is not far at all from Salem MA. This was a summer estate built by the Crane plumbing family from Chicago. Cranes Castle was also the house in the movie "Witches of Eastwick" . Ironically the developer for Beverly Hills named the area after Beverly Farms in Massachusetts. Ipswich is not far from Beverly. I think a sign for Beverly shows up in the Movie "Manchester By the Sea". Manchester by the Sea is a about a guy that is a Trustee that lives in a brick building in Quincy MA. that drives up Route 128 to do something he is going to have regrets about! Isn't Greystone in "All of Me" with Steve Martin and Lilly Tomlin?
Hey Mike this movie is like 30 years ago 1987 lol I was in the 5th grade ready to be graduating. The movie lots of memories thanks for sharing. 🎥👍😎 Stay awesome 🎄☃️
The 80's version of Flowers In The Attic is one of my guilty pleasures. Love watching this film while eating unhealthy snacks. I really enjoyed this video. Beautiful and haunting location. Thank you so much for taking us along with you. 🖤
I’m more into movies than books and this has always been a classic favorite. I think it is very well done especially Louise Fletcher’s part. Love you guys and the 80s, keep the goodness coming! 👏🖤🥀
I love the soundtrack to the original movie, it's so haunting and beautiful! The book is so disturbing. It's one of my favorites and I've read it probably 10 times. I'm a huge fan of it.
Thank you both for this behind the scenes movie magic . The Mansion is beautiful . So is the Pasadena Historic Society Museum . Beautiful architecture and gardens .
OMG The Flowers in the Attic series of books by Virginia Andrews are my all time favourite books. Petals on the Wind, If There Be Thorns, I loved them. Have to be honest the film didn’t do the book justice, but it was good to see a version of it brought to life. As always thank you ❤️💕💙
WOW! You opened the ol' memory vault in my mind bank. I remember reading the book in high school and seeing the movie. What a gorgeous mansion. Thank you for another awesome video. Happy Halloween! 🦇🦇🦇
Honestly thank you so much for all your hard work with these videos. Being an Australian I am never going to see such locations in real life, it almost feels like I'm there. :). My mum and I used to watch Flowers together all the time, probably not the best movie to watch with your mother now that I think about it. Ha.
Michael, you are so good at what you do. You explain and have the arrows to point things out which is so nice to see things more clearly. Always love your videos, ty for sharing with us.😃💀🖤
I loved reading VC Andrews books when I was a teenager. And when they were made into movies I was so happy. Flowers in the Attic is my ultimate favorite. Thank you for taking us along on this filming location in LA. I really enjoyed it
I love this movie!! I read all the books and seen the movie!! I think Gilmore girls was filmed there for Chilton school!! I am so jealous you went there!! amazing video grimm life!! you are totally brilliant grimm life and you never seem to disappoint me!! thank you!!
As a child I read this book in school. It upset me so much I did not see the movie. I may have to try to watch it. Looks good. Thank you for this video! Wow so beautiful inside. Beautiful property. I have to see this movie now. Lol...Love you guys. 🖤🖤🖤
This was my favorite movie I watched as a kid. It resonates with me 💯 having enduring a lot of abuse. Now I want to watch it again. Thank you for filming the locations.
Love this movie. Very sad that they had to go through that and having such a horrible, selfish mother and grandmother. Can’t change my mind Wonderful video Grimmlife 🖤
I'm so glad you did this! If you haven't already, check out Flowers87 here on youtube, he works at the Crane estate part-time and has videos of the house and grounds. While I don't particularly like the ending where the mother dies (which was filmed and added much later, and by a different director), I will always love the movie. It has such wonderful acting and atmosphere, and the music was phenomenal. It really is great how they were able to blend so many locations and sets together for Foxworth Hall.
. Flowers in the Attic is one of my favorite movies, I thought that the children, and Evil grandmother, did a really great job at this one . I thought that it was filmed in Europe, it has that European look . thank you Grim . 🙂 . ~ hard life (MULDEW)
HEY, MICHAEL AND JESSICA WOW... What an awesome mansion And the place was used for so many years of filling all kinds of different types of stuff And was wondering how much that place is worth million's of Dollars I would think Well great video I really appreciate and enjoy this one Take care stay safe and I will see you on the next video project
You had to have been an historian in a past life. Anyone can line up shots, but it's your attention to detail - the little things - that set you, Jessica, and your vlog apart from the countless others. You truly MAKE content. I appreciate your continued efforts to do your craft justice. Y'all keep doing your thing, and we'll be here to support our 'friendly virtual horror travel guides'. Happy Halloween and Merry Christmas! ❤✌🌮

I saw it at my friends house when i was 9yrs old

I got freaked out by it at 23, I can’t imagine watching it as a child that young
I read it as a post-grad student in high school, it chilled me!

Love VC Andrews and her books 😀😀😀

I read some of the ghost writer ones but got bored, just don't think they were as good.
I read the books after I watched the movie. The book was much better imo.
@@ilanarhian you can definitely it wasn't Virginia.
@@mikaw4817 ... Books are always better, imo
I have a special bond with this movie, me and my mom used to watch it together all the time.

I feel bad for Olivia in the book. I feel so connected to Cathy, always have.
I agree. That is my absolute favorite book in the series. It was so good. I read the whole book in one day and I'm dyslexic 💜💜💜
'Flowers in the Attic' & 'Petals on the Wind' were the only two in the series I read. I'm kind of amped to read 'Garden of Shadows' now.

My mum and I used to watch Flowers together all the time, probably not the best movie to watch with your mother now that I think about it. Ha.
Such an uplifting movie. A real light in the midst of dark times.
Uplifting? I didn't get that....
Has to be sarcasm. VC Andrews is never uplifting.
Michael, you are so good at what you do. You explain and have the arrows to point things out which is so nice to see things more clearly. Always love your videos, ty for sharing with us.😃💀🖤
I loved reading VC Andrews books when I was a teenager. And when they were made into movies I was so happy. Flowers in the Attic is my ultimate favorite. Thank you for taking us along on this filming location in LA. I really enjoyed it
