Welcome to Hollywood Graveyard where we set out to remember and celebrate the lives...
Alright, that's enough of that. I got something really cool to show you guys
and I can't wait any longer.
Behold, Hollywood Graveyard's silver
creator award, resting here in a niche Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Not long ago
we passed an unbelievable milestone: 100,000 subscribers on our channel, and
in recognition of this milestone YouTube sent us this plaque. This award means a
great deal to me, not because it represents any accomplishment of mine
but because it represents all of you -- all of you who have subscribed and joined
our growing Hollywood graveyard family. Every time you watched a video, hit the
like button, left a comment, or shared a video, you breathe additional life into
Hollywood Graveyard, getting us to this point. Many of you have also generously
supported us with donations through Patreon, Kickstarter, and YouTube
membership, allowing us to keep afloat during our nascent years, and grow our
content with productions like our New York series and The Twilight Zone Special.
Not only that but many of you contributed your own videos to our
Viewers Special series, some of our most viewed videos, so this award is as much
yours as it is mine. And as such I wanted to find a special
way to share it with all of you. So for the next year the silver plaque, along
with the original camera I used to film every episode up to the New York series,
will be on display here in a niche at Hollywood Forever. A huge thank you to
Hollywood Forever Cemetery for their generosity in hosting us in this niche
so that you all can have the opportunity to come see it for yourselves. Keep in
mind though that this is temporary; you'll only have until March 2021, one
year from now, to come and see the Hollywood Graveyard niche, after which it
will be vacated.
Now just for fun, in honor of our new silver status, let's see
how many entertainment references to "silver" we can come up with. Let's see,
there's the silver screen, silver halide crystals in film,
"Hi-Yo Silver!"
"Here we are, face to face, a couple of Silver Spoons."
Alicia Silverstone, Sarah Silverman, Ron Silver, Joel Silver,
Silver Linings Playbook,
"By the light of the silvery moon,"
Quicksilver, Silver Surfer
"Silver Bells,"
Phil Silvers, Silverado, Silversun Pickups
Silverchair
"Silver and Gold..."
Gold? Well not quite yet... not until we hit a million subscribers.
One can dream...
but until that time I'm grateful for all 136, 037+ of you. I hope you
all have the chance to someday come visit the Hollywood Graveyard niche.
And who knows, maybe you'll make some new friends when you do. If you find the
niche take a picture of yourself with it, or better yet reflected in it. After all
this award reflects all of you. Post it on social media with the hashtag
#HollywoodGraveyard to share it with the Hollywood Graveyard community.
Now you'll notice I didn't tell you where the niche is.
That's cuz I thought it would be fun for
you intrepid grave hunters out there to hunt it down for yourself here at
Hollywood Forever. But if you just want to come here, find the niche, and go
directly to it, stick around to the end of the video and I'll show you where it is.
Thanks for watching, we'll see you on the next one.
Now, let me show you where the niche is.
To find the Hollywood Graveyard niche the first thing you obviously need to do
is head to Hollywood Forever Cemetery on. Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles
Follow the main road in then left at the stop sign. Head to the southeast section
of the cemetery. South of the lake is the Cathedral Mausoleum. This was one of the
very first Mausoleums open to residents of the Los Angeles area.
Completed in 1919 it was in its day the largest in the world, and became very
much in demand for Hollywood residents of the 1920s. Let's head inside, wave at
the 12 apostles as we passed by, and take the second right. This is the brand new
Valentino Shrine section 4. And on the right is our humble little niche.
It's a fitting spot for Hollywood Graveyard. Just down the hall to the left are stars
like Rudolph Valentino, Barbara LaMarr, and David White.
And to the right are Peter Lorre and William Desmond Taylor. And just around the
corner are the founders of Hollywood, Harvey and Daeida Wilcox.
We're in good company here at Hollywood Forever.
