I love how unpredictable these backrooms were, they didn't feel repetitive which gave you hope but there was still no way out and so many hallways to go down
Am I the only one who was severely unnerved every time she spoke up to try to contact anyone? This is so well made; every time she did my gut screamed "shut up, don't attract attention!"
Right?! Every backrooms video where they're hollering for help, my teeth set on edge. "Shut up! Don't flash a light, don't holler, you're drawing attention. Jeezy creezy. Smh" 😊
I love the moment when she goes from asking for help to asking if someone needs help, just the idea of now not only being worried about herself but also about other possible victims to the horrors she’s uncovered
THIS ^ Also, I'm wondering if the other victims who get lost end up evolving into these creatures/monsters/entities? As in, the blood trail leads to that one entity (I think it's called the Howler). Either the Howler killed the victim OR the victim became it.
I'm pretty sure that the people who end up in the Backrooms, turn into the Bacteria. For instance, the Driver, they died from blood loss and severe physical trauma. Apparently, when you are bleeding, mold may grow from said blood. So the Bacteria is actually the Driver And just letting you know, the name of the monster isn't the Howler, it's actually called the Bacteria, as Kane said.
The car crash is definitely the coolest and most original backroom thing I've seen so far. I've always wondered what it would be like for bigger things to be lost in the backrooms. Imagine you're driving and all of a sudden you no clip into this place and all you see is a wall in front of you and you're going highway speed and you have to slam on the brakes before you plunge into this wall that just appeared out of nowhere.
The dread of knowing that the pov character is basically doomed in these found footages is so intense. They were simply incredibly unlucky and now find themselves in a labyrinth with basically no escape. It is not a question of if they die, it is a question of when and how at this point. AND even knowing this, I still root for them to escape the monsters and somehow find a miracle escape out of the backrooms.
@@St0rmGuy the end isn’t level 9. And it’s really rare to escape cuz you have to run an exe file that’s rare on one of the computers, And it’s a level really deep in the backrooms.
1. I don't know how else to describe it, but Kane is excellent at horror edging. He's so good at building tension that, by the end, you're begging for a jumpscare to relieve the psychological pressure, but he won't even give you that satisfaction. It's masterful and frustrating. 2. No one seems to discuss the excellence of the sound design. It's clear he puts in as much or more work into the sounds to render horror as much as the graphics. Silence, static, fluorescent hum, breathing, the distant echoes of vast areas unexplored, the VHS-era corporate chirpiness of Async Corp, ethereal tracks in between, and of course the stomach-churning voice of the Thin Entity. All superb.
I absolutely love how there weren’t any jump scares. Like, things happened quickly but nothing ever really was just a sudden shock. The horror relied on more mature tactics, like the anticipation in the beginning, the feeling of inescapable doom during the chase, and the tension filled waiting for the inevitable at the end. It’s all amazing.
Every element is so well thought out, genius! Camera handling, voice acting, the walls, the floor, the monster, the voice filter, camera filter. Story well done!
Finally seeing the green portal energy is worth the wait. I love how you drip feed us throughout the series, rather than just giving us everything straight away.
Seems like the "Bacteria" has a very easy time tracking down the people that we see from the found footage, yet in the video with the researcher that was wearing a hazmat suit, its like the entity lost him nearly instantly. These things must have a very good sense of "smell", so when you're not wearing a fully enclosed suit they can easily "smell" the trail your body leaves behind. Which is really horrifying, because this could very well mean that you couldn't ever get away from them if they can track you down like a police dog via smell...
Oh shit that makes sense. People were guessing that these monsters get smarter over time but this one seemed to be a newborn and still was tracking her down easily, even when she seemingly had a large distance on it.
It's because A-sync portal gives our-world stability to backrooms world. Here is a "zero zone" round the portal where entities can't exist or just can't reach this places. Its maybe more complicated than you think.
This is legitimately horrifying. I'm squirming here in my recliner balled up trying to escape the monster right along with her and like, hitting the chair lol. This is so much scarier than most horror movies I've ever seen. This is insane.
This is the first backrooms video that actually made me feel sympathetic for the person. It literally had me on edge and made me flinch with fear. This is the best I’ve seen. Hands down.
@@ExpertContrarian I think its bc in the other videos its usually people that work in the backrooms and know what they're getting themselves into while this is just a girl that is completely clueless and has no idea what's happening. an exception to what they said though would be Kane's 1st backrooms video idk why you wouldn't be sympathetic towards that character
The raw deranged screech of that monster is absolutely terrifying. Not only is your graphic production spot on, but your the sounds in every video blow my mind away. Good job
The fact that the hole she fell through suddenly expanded and her and the items around the hole all fell through somewhat proves the point that "messing" with the Backrooms makes them expand/unstable.
@@basesttoilets You don't wanna really know. It's either gonna go to a video in a different country region or be completely offensive. They can also steal your information if you touch the link.
Love the part with the car implying you can slip into the backrooms while driving at high speeds, that was a fantastic piece of story telling without even saying anything. AND YOU INCLUDED THE POOL ROOMS!!!!! The pool rooms are my absolute favorites
This is real horror. When the only horror there is is jump scares that’s not fear being caused, it’s just like flinching just a instinct to be a little scared. This on the other hand makes you feel hopeless and dreadful, it’s truly horrifying.
I'd never heard of the backrooms until several months ago but these are textbook examples of REAL horror. Not relying on jumpscares but rather leaving it up to psychological horror.
Putting this video together the Autopsy Report and Pitfall videos, I think we can theorize the origin of the entity: In this video we see the girl following the blood trail of a supposedly dead guy into a room full of mold/fungi/bacteria, which then transforms into an entity - This confirms that the entity is a plant-like creature that is created by that fungus (or whatever you wanna call it). In Autopsy Report you see that this fungus was present on the recovered body, and we can also see that it was starting to grow around the body when they found it; Could it have grown more and filled the room like we saw here, given time? Perhaps. Then, in the Pitfalls video, we see Marvin follow the sounds of an Entity to a room where someone apparently lived for some time, but instead of a person he finds the entity closeby; Now, what if whoever was living there died (malnutrition, or whatever) and was consumed by the fungus and turned into an entity? If we look at the room walls in that video it looks as if the same kind of vines that we see here also grew there, but just aren't on the walls anymore; Perhaps they gained life and walked away to the other room, just as we see in this video.. TL;DR: The theory is: This fungus grows naturally in the backrooms, and it has the ability to thrive from corpses (or any organic substance?) and eventually be large enough to transform into these sentient moving entities, while having access to the memories of the deceased person and the ability to replicate the sounds they heard during their life.
Liminal space horror is just perfect for building tension. The backrooms make you feel like you should feel familar in a place, yet everything about it is wrong. Not to mention that the use of analog here is akin to home video, that should feel nostagic to many, but again makes it extra creepy instead.
Well im not sure what is up the a$$ of those other two, maybe they just didn't get enough love at kids. (Although english could have just been sarcastic? Hard to tell) But right? The combo of those two is amazing and he perfectly executes the horror you should feel in something like this. He really did deserve that award, I cant believe that he just popped up with this insane work!! And ALL the time he is making so much more i LOVE IT!
I, like many of you on this thread, love the use of Liminal Space and the Uncanny/Uncanny Valley. Many of my fave film makers, writers and visual artists of all kinds have used Liminality and/or the Uncanny in one way or another. From Stanley Kubrick to David Lynch and Ridley Scott (from Plato to Edgar A.Poe to PK Dick and JG Ballard...) Even music can give that same feeling of empty architecture, uncanny liminal space. Let's just agree, we love being creeped out by these images etc of places and the feelings they can invoke. I have personally encountered and experienced firsthand a few moments and places of Liminality and that feeling of the uncanny, Uncanny Valley. It's one thing to be entertained by it in art, film etc. But when it happens to you unexpectedly, in your everyday real world experience, it becomes a whole new level of strange. Sometimes it has been the sound that adds that dimension of creepy. Or I should say the lack of sound. Places where you know it should be busy and noisy with people etc, suddenly unexpectedly quiet, empty, still and the only thing you can hear is your own breathing and your own footsteps. I've been stuck in these spaces, once at an airport at 3am, and once at a main city train station. Both with no one around, the train station was during the daytime. The oddest one of these was a journey on an empty train, arriving at an empty large city centre train station, coming out through an empty shopping arcade onto an empty main street in the city centre, all completely empty, no fellow passengers alighted the train, no people in the centre, no cars, no buses etc and this was midday? (Turns out I had unknowingly travelled to and arrived in the city centre during the exact time of Princess Diana's Funeral! A time when the whole of the UK stopped for a couple of hours). Everywhere was still. I doubt I'll ever get to see an entire city centre like this again, during midday, on a weekday. I knew this city well and for it to be anything but how I know it should be was disconcerting to say the least. Imagine my relief when the truth of the situation presented itself! And the world returned to normal. However... I still have no explanation as to why other moments of empty liminal space occurred. Never found out why the airport was empty? I even went to walk around looking for life and a coffee. Nothing... No explanation as to why the other time I found myself in an empty train station. This was a main branch station, where trains from all over the country travel through. It is always busy, as people get trains to everywhere from this station and get trains to the airport or connecting trains, even connecting bus services... Maybe I just happened upon a freak moment in time when all the other trains had just left the station and no others were due to arrive at that moment. Again, I think it was the momentary silence that put the top on it.
@Argg especially when she turned around to see if it was still in its room, and jump scared her from the wall. I replayed that and it still jump scared me
The fact you know that the one who is filming is a kid who was just curious about why there was no collision with the floor is just sad, knowing the kid is basically doomed since she probably is like 8 or so. Her parents are probably on the end of going crazy cause they lost their son but knowing it is just a video brings a sigh of relief.
This is one of the coolest collections I've come across in quite some time! The last time I was into a series enough to binge on it was the "Interface" series. If you haven't seen those I highly recommend! These are VERY well done indeed!
My thoughts: - The monster followed her past a small difference in elevation *and* between floors, so that kills the theory that monsters can't pass those. - Unlike previous found footage/recordings, there's nothing to indicate how the footage was actually recovered in this one (i.e. their camera fell to earth or they survived), which is especially mysterious considering how it ended. (I'd love to see a follow up of how A-Sync found this recording or whatever, but it seems just as likely it'll never be mentioned again, alas.)
These found footage installments really reveal to me why/how the idea of a labyrinth with a minotaur in it was conceived. Being trapped alone in a twisting confined space with no way out and a monster chasing you really does seem scary when given a fresh perspective and the soft cushion of ancient myth no longer insulating you from the original concept.
Imma just let him kill me at that point. There is no escape, and trying to find one is futile and the few more minutes that you live will be in terror. So not worth it to even try.
What an amazing point! Never stopped to look at it this way before This comment did remind me of that pacman horror game that went viral a few years ago, though lol
Is anyone else bummed that Kane Pixels stopped making videos on this series? I mean I feel so invested in this series and have so many burning questions: what happened to the girl in this video? Did she die? What was the green stuff? Where did the door go after the "pit room" on pitfalls? What was that weird theater room and the drawing of the house all about? Who was sleeping in that room before the scientist saw the entity? What were the meaning of the "I Remember" and "Overflow" videos about? I have so many burning questions it drives me crazy there’s no follow up videos to continue the series to answers all these questions! Does anyone else feel this way?
There's a movie on the way! But I think to reveal all this sort of things takes away from the actual suspense of the content. I hope there will be some more "found footage" in the upcoming film as they are extremly unsettling and I love it!
This genuinely freaked me out. The fact that the character sounds like a young teenager makes me feel even more like I’m inside the backrooms. The eerie humming of the lights included with dead silence makes me think anything could jump out at anytime. You put in so much effort and your work is incredible. Edit: Oml I just rediscovered this comment Tysm for the likes! (This is the most I’ve ever had!) (Also RedVibes, didn’t mean to make ya feel old lmao, honestly pretty young to me)
@@guckcuck6177 That "furry" has probably done more with his life than you ever will. The fact that you went out of your way completely to insult the guy says a lot about you as a person, believe it or not.. Get a life dude.
Same. There were times when I was thinking a smiler would come out and grab her. Also we were able to get a look at Bacteria's "nest" which is kind of cool. Reminds me of both the Venom Symbiote as well as a Xenomorph Hive.
The screams of the entity is so otherworldly it chills you to the bone, good sound design is key in horror and this series has it in spades. I'm late to the backrooms craze but I'm glad to be here now
I love how you made the backrooms look disorderly, like some map with randomly generated features and rooms that aren't properly aligned and clip into each other.
Exactly, this video proves that the back rooms are an alternate reality of the original world, distorting everything to try and replicate the original world.
In one of the previous videos it all but confirms it was auto generated. A few of the scientists who were starting up the machine for the second time without It exploding or breaking down. One of them was yelling saying to turn it off but the "lead" scientist told them to continue with the test. On the screen you can see a "map" being generated, being the back rooms created in those moments
I absolutely love that we got another person's perspective of their walk through the Backrooms. The ASYNC Research videos were really cool, but there's something so much scarier about an average citizen noclipping into the place and having absolutely no clue where they are or what's going on. And keeping the monster just out of sight is such a good move. While we got a bit of a good look at it in the first video of the series, it's still incredibly mysterious and downright haunting to try and figure the thing out. Lumbering, squiggly, tar-like, and dangerous just by looking at it and hearing it alone. Also, the way the person filming falls into the Backrooms is charmingly realistic. I imagine they dropped something in that one spot one day and watched it mysteriously disappear through the floor, and went absolutely nuts trying to drop other things down there until they fell in themselves. Maybe the fact that they were holding onto the thing they put in there is what "tethered" them to the Backrooms and allowed them to noclip. This series just keeps getting better, and more mysterious with each video! Keep up the amazing work!!
Kane pixels is the only one to make this so creatively. The sound effect, The noises, The speechs, The graphics, even the the lighting and shadowing. Good job. More than 10/10
This whole series is proof you don't need much to make something truly horrifying. Blender, some filters and a mind brimming with ideas. Kane is GOATed.
This is by far my 3rd best backrooms video in kane pixels I have watched especially the backrooms found footage is the most popular video on the channel but this one is my 35% favorite
your ability to mimic human behavior in a purely CG environment will never cease to amaze me. The way the handheld camera bobs around unsteadily and even drops the eyeline occasionally really helps sell the shots as reality. Excellent work as always
I think the reason why Kane’s blender works so well is that the effort is put into the VFX and atmosphere rather than models, and that almost all of the characters have their faces obscured in some way since faces in blender are somewhat difficult to make in a realistic fashion. The hazmat suits, the VHS filter, and the fact that many of the protagonists we view the perspective of don’t show their faces all contribute to keeping the feel of these animations immersive. Not trying to say his animation of faces is bad by any means, but in the “Presentation” back rooms video and when the titans in his AOT animations are shown with faces in focus the immersion is broken a bit. The live-action shots are a good substitute. In the “Report” back rooms video, my suspension of disbelief held even when he switched between animated and live-action sequences. Overall, really solid soundtrack as well.
'Suspension of disbelief' is a phrase I've only recently heard (35 years and counting). Of course it makes perfect sense, and describes exactly what we're supposed to do when we watch movies/tv/art. That being said, with Kane's videos I rarely even realize that I'm suspending my disbelief in order to enjoy it. I guess that means it's immersive, yes? Words and phrases are weird. Anyway, thanks random youtube comment person!
From 10:18 onwards it was the most spot-on representation I've ever seen of the nightmares I used to have as a kid. The way that nothing makes sense, hallways seem to be endless, everything feels unnatural, some unknown monster chasing you, no matter what you try you just can't shake him off and he always follows you, the hiding and it finds you and the inescapable end where he gets you. It's all there.
i think that the backrooms have always been reminiscent of House of Leaves, and I feel like the way that Kane plays out the backrooms really supports that (specifically the “Minotaur” aspect of HoL)
The existential dread I feel evey time they go around a corner, or call out for help is tremendous. This is literally one of the most terrifying things I have ever watched. Amazing work
Couldn't agree more. On another note, CZcams shrinking the video to accomodate the fact that the mobile keyboard takes up space on the screen is a cool new feature.
I've always seen the monsters as a byproduct of humans dying in the backrooms (and potentially any foreign matter that can decay) and this really solidified it for me. The crash didn't kill the driver, we see signs of struggle leading up to the horrible moldy room and that's where the creature is sleeping. The mold in the missing persons video is spreading from a dead body as well, and not from anything in the backrooms itself. The mold (and entity born from it) could essentially be a contaminant to the backrooms instead of something native to it, caused by some fucky bacteria/substance mixing with the decaying bodies of biological matter that no clipped into the backrooms to create this hyperaggressive mold that spreads and spreads. It really makes me wonder what the speech mimicry truly is too, maybe vocal chords and a bit of memory/intelligence carries over/is replicated by the mold, maybe the mold chases people because that's all it can recognize with the sliver of humanity it inherited from the corpse it grew from. I could go on but a lot of that might get a bit too into the tin hat theory department, but it really is food for thought, and I adore that this series has struck such a chord in my worldbuilding heart. Keep it up Kane, can't wait to see what else this series has to offer.
Has the theory about the bacteria monster being an infected tripod camera from "Motion Detected" been dismissed? Cause like a camera can record and play audio? And since it's a motion camera, it only sees things that move, hence the "Don't Move Stay Still" from the 1st vid?
Yeah, still the fact that the room she was in at the end lit up while she was still alive suggests that it's not only the corpses that get this treatment. So I'd guess the mutation is rather a backroom feature and not just a parasite feeding on the dead.
Theory: Like her people were here and searched for an exit. So probably the items that are found are from people that fell into the backrooms and brought the items with them. The car was probably from a person who was driving then no-cliped with the car. He then crashed into the wall. Some items may even be from other universes. Hence, why they look deformed. Broken ceiling tiles may have been the result of people no-clipping into that spot. It is also confirmed in the beginning that they may have carried the items because as she fell, the items went on with her. Anyways, this animation is wonderful. Keep up the good work!
there's an unlisted video that shows a car no clipping into the backrooms. but im pretty sure kane confirmed its not the same car so idk where i was going with this
Everytime somebody audibly says "HELLO!" or draws attention my spine begins to tingle, Knowing what potential entities could catch hearing of it, even from the distance.
Thing is the backrooms is a lot more empty than you think, chances are that nobody hears you there, and even if there were to be anyone that would hear you they’d most likely be hostile
Dialog is SO MUCH better here than in previous videos, they feel like an actual irl character and matches perfectly well with how realistic and bone chillingly "normal" everything else is.
@@watkinscopicat Honestly I agree but also disagree? She's kinda in denial or awe since she was recording about this weird hold in her garage that warped stuff away. She was definitely starting to get a little more panicked but trying to keep her cool is what i'm getting at. Fake it till you make it kinda stuff. But when the bacteria monster finally came around right after the bloodied floor she definitely broke and made some possibly wreck less decisions. I quite like the dialogue though This is really scuffed lol
If you look closer at 12:54, you’ll see the walls moving and cracks forming. That means the Backrooms is shifting into a “Different Form Of Constructing On It’s Own”.
But there is one catch. Don’t go in into areas that are shifting or else you will die. The cracks are commonly dangerous to go in while “Shifting In To A Form”.
My theory: The car is from someone who was minding their business and suddenly they were in the back rooms, they crashed. They probably walked around and looked for someone, and then the monster appeared and kill them. I think the monster records the audio of people and uses that in order to trick people into coming to it.
The person that crashed the car was in a highway there is footage of the car disappearing right after almost full velocity, the man/woman that crashed the car was infected with the fungus that they caught and overtime they starved to death and it grew into that green thing. And i think that... they must be the entity that attacked this kid.
I love how at every chance you had you never put in a jump-scare. Even when the entity first appeared it felt like a smooth transition to avoid s jump-scare but still being terrifying
@@creepager1510 not op, but i think that "it" (the entity) is one and the same as the mold. These nests might be a point where it concentrated the most. It's likely that smaller parts of this lifeform are in the air, which would cause these people to start coughing. What are your thoughts?
@@creepager1510 I think these entities grow from bodies that have had time to rot in the backrooms. Remember the mutant bacteria Async discovered in the autopsy video? This entity was not far from the crash and the trail of blood leading to it. It probably grew from the driver's corpse.
This girl seems like a survivor, wouldn’t surprise me if we see more of her in future clips. Even if she looked screwed it would be nice to see someone survive and escape the backrooms
One of these people is bound to come across some ASync employees eventually. Maybe that green light at the end was some ASync transporter tech beaming her out.
I’ve been a science fiction fan and horror fan for the longest time. Being autistic I wasn’t even ten when I read the novels of HG Wells (War of the Worlds, Time Machine, Food of the Gods among others). I’d played Half Life by the time I was 6 and fell in love with its story of crazy terrifying events and occurrences beyond human understanding, then came the Slender Man phenomenon and hype, loved movies like Blade Runner, The Thing, The Quiet Earth, anything Lovecraftian or weirdly bizarre and unexplained. More recently been obsessed with the futuristic electronic music of Jean Michel Jarre, Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin among others. This whole series has been one of the best things I’ve ever watched. How you drip fed everything, never fell to temptation of handing this story to us on a silver platter. The fact that you did most if not all of it in animation, kept the jumpscares to a minimum, oh man and now you’re getting a proper movie made?! Congratu-friggin-lations! Btw side note! Since I was a kid I’ve dreamed and aspired to want to become an actor on screen, and getting involved in well crafted productions like this and working with the most talented people would be a dream come true for me, please get in touch, if you need actors, please let me know!
It’s all a perfect trap and lure. You end up in the Backrooms, you get confused, you yell for help, and then the monsters know where you are. Brilliant.
@@dghfgdhfdfghdhfg Either the monsters are an evolved species of fungus that can imitate humans, or they ARE the humans that have mutated. I get the creeps from both.
@@Alluvian567 He uses something called "camera shakify" which has artificial camera movements. He streams his blend files on his discord from time to time which was how that was revealed
The car. It's the car that fell into the backrooms in another video. Based off the blood trail, the driver was injured but survived for a short time. The driver walked to where the room with the monster was in the video, and died of injuries. Then, the bacteria/fungi in the backrooms infected and sprouted from the body, claiming the entire room and growing the monster out of the drivers corpse.
As a kid, I used to dream a lot about weird places that had some sort of weird order, but made no sense. Those places look a lot like your backrooms. It's insane being able to see an interpretation of something I've only seen in dreams in a video. Specially the pools. There were so many pools.
"What is this place even for?" is a pretty good summary of why these videos are so unsettling. We don't like rooms or designs that don't seem to have any purpose
This is one of the best ones by far. The effects and the potential “birth?” of one of those entities makes this video very fascinating. Also, a new liminal space! Great work Kane.
I don't think the effects in the end are a entity being born maybe it's the "shift", the backrooms are unstable and change their shape, that's why we saw weird dimensions on some room that were already being worked on by A-sync... and the deformed chairs at the beginning That's only my view tho
What I love so much about this episode is how the main character is so different and contrasting to the other protagonist that are often seen in backrooms videos. She’s a young girl who’s thought process and emotions vary from that of a middle aged man/male teen. I find is so chilling that she thinks this is still on earth and it’s just a building that was constructed. That made her seeing the car a bone chilling moment of realization. That monster being essentially fungus growing out of a dead body and taking its form gives an understood creature from the backrooms its horrific origin. Everything from the camera movements to her footstep motions make this the best in the series by far. Incredible. (Edit: Spelling)
@@burkanx5546 sorry it was a very very strong assumption judging by the trail of blood, and painting of the woman. Seems like most other commenters are making this claim too. Chilling stuff.
@@markussimic5882 All good man. I legit didn't notice a body. Hard to see in that room lmao. I noticed the monster dormant before anything else and was like, "Uh oh.." Before it woke.
@@markussimic5882 it's heavily implied that was a body overtaken by some sort of growth, with the blood leading to the room. Person probably was fatally wounded from the crash, stumbled away to die and was consumed by the fungus stuff
I kid you not, the first time I saw this I thought someone actually put in the work to build this place in real life, because it looked so real (I'm an 80's kid familiar with all that VCR stuff, also made my own videos with my brother using my father's VHS-8 camera). Long story short, it took me some time realizing this was just rendered. This is why this stuff is so freaking good! Hands down to you Kane for making it real!
Seriously impressive to give me a jump scare with… a lightswitch. The craftsmanship and skill creating that kind of horror, then managing to only BUILD from that moment absolutely blows my mind. Legitimate genius.
That Entity isn't just making "scary monster" sounds. It's yelling "No!" and crying out in agony. God knows what kind of suffering the car driver, the autopsy subject, and all the other victims endured in their final moments.
Maybe the monster don't want to kill us but only want help, we didn't saw a monster kill in any of Kane's videos and even in the first found footage the monster just grap the guy but don't kill him
Makes me wonder if the girl is going to turn into something similar, and if the green lightning effect is what could've turned a human into that entity previously
I think the most disconcerting thing about the way it's shot is that you're constantly reminded that you can't look everywhere all at once if you were there. There's always a route where things can come up behind you. Even if you survived the "day" in there, you have to sleep eventually and you're going to get thirsty and hungry. It's terrifying on so many levels.
@@kibaaaaaa Yeah, I know. I say "it's shot" because you use a virtual camera in the animation software, so you determine how it's "shot" by that camera. I believe I read that he uses Blender.
Backrooms levels you found in One of Kane's videos according to the wiki (the original ones Kane pixels made): Area #1: The complex (level 0) Appeared in the found footage #1 Area #2: Gallery (original level 188) Also appeared in found footage #1 Area #3: The Forest: (original forest level) Appeared in the informational video Area #4 Crimson Neighborhood (original level 9 or dark suburbs) Appeared in pitfalls video Area #5 The poolrooms (the original poolrooms/level 37) Appeared in this video you were watching. (found footage #2) Those who were curious about this, it's because this is the original backrooms you're watching.
I love the way we witness the backstory and birth of a "monster" here. Very well done. Beautiful visual storytelling. So much better than most horror movies these days.
@@domhyung My personnal theory is when a person stay too long in the backrooms, they start to "glitch" as does everything in there (for example the stretched table and chairs in this video) and eventually transform into something entirely alien. So the monsters in there were all originally living beings (humans or animals/plant ?). But that's just my take after watching all these, I am not familiar with the lore and all theories.
Part of why these videos are so good is because the creator seems to ignore all of the theorizing (which can only make it less scary) and just keep doubling down on the weirdness. It's perfection.
@@darkinators they basically gave up developing the game and it’s unique concept (the Neighbor’s AI) and went all in on completely convoluted lore. Let’s just say the final release is not worth it cause it’s a buggy mess, extremely confusing puzzles that you won’t get unless you look it up, and the lore they built is so convoluted that it barely makes the slightest hint of making sense.
I cant say he did exactly, ignoring all the theorizing. The electromagnetic waves theory presented by film theory seem to hold true a bit. If anything i praise him for not making into a meme filled monster jumpscare curcius. Crossing over SCP with the backrooms and 'entities' is beyond dumb.
A-Sync was wrong about The Backrooms. It isn't a limitless storage space; it's an unlimited power supply! They should have just tapped the wires, stopped paying their electricity bill, and called it a day
As someone who does drywall, these videos scare me on a whole different level lol. Imagine boarding, mudding, sanding, painting all that drywall then installing all those pot-lights. That would be worse than getting stuck there 😂
Every time I see the time lapses of them building the man-made walls I think about how much noise that must have made, and how long the workers would have to have been just standing out in the open of the back rooms to complete it. What was to stop an entity from wandering around the corner while they worked? Terrifying.
I need to know if this is legit becoming a full length movie i hope it does because i dont understand what intrigues me about it but fr kane for a young lad of your age you got real potential keep up the good work and hopefully we get more backrooms content😁😂
this man took creativity on another level, just the goddam creativity he had is amazing and so unbelievable! and horror is not like any other horror, it has creativity and is so fvking different from the other ones, (for example most horror things are similar, have the same horror idea but just said in a different way) but this one is so creative, i love this as it will be my favourite horror of all, i love ur work man!
10:16 is truly terrifying, the horror of being in a room right next to this thing, not even realizing it's there until it attacks. this is by far the best youtube horror series

@ Matthew report to yourself

Right?! Every backrooms video where they're hollering for help, my teeth set on edge. "Shut up! Don't flash a light, don't holler, you're drawing attention. Jeezy creezy. Smh" 😊
I love the moment when she goes from asking for help to asking if someone needs help, just the idea of now not only being worried about herself but also about other possible victims to the horrors she’s uncovered
THIS ^
Also, I'm wondering if the other victims who get lost end up evolving into these creatures/monsters/entities? As in, the blood trail leads to that one entity (I think it's called the Howler). Either the Howler killed the victim OR the victim became it.
I think the implication is that dead people slowly turn into these creatures @@ghostlyfae8721
It's a very human reaction.
I'm pretty sure that the people who end up in the Backrooms, turn into the Bacteria. For instance, the Driver, they died from blood loss and severe physical trauma. Apparently, when you are bleeding, mold may grow from said blood. So the Bacteria is actually the Driver
And just letting you know, the name of the monster isn't the Howler, it's actually called the Bacteria, as Kane said.
The car crash is definitely the coolest and most original backroom thing I've seen so far. I've always wondered what it would be like for bigger things to be lost in the backrooms. Imagine you're driving and all of a sudden you no clip into this place and all you see is a wall in front of you and you're going highway speed and you have to slam on the brakes before you plunge into this wall that just appeared out of nowhere.
The USS Cyclops is definitely in the Backrooms.

@@onggamerz21 A guy tells you which one in the replies to YLDKoneko's comment.
This is most likely the car that was recorded disapearing out of nowhere

The dread of knowing that the pov character is basically doomed in these found footages is so intense. They were simply incredibly unlucky and now find themselves in a labyrinth with basically no escape. It is not a question of if they die, it is a question of when and how at this point. AND even knowing this, I still root for them to escape the monsters and somehow find a miracle escape out of the backrooms.
I mean it is possible to leave them in the first found footage the camera gets back to the real world even if the person holding it didn't
And theres a rumor that level 9 "The End" has the true exit out of the backrooms hidden somewhere
@@St0rmGuy the end isn’t level 9. And it’s really rare to escape cuz you have to run an exe file that’s rare on one of the computers, And it’s a level really deep in the backrooms.

1. I don't know how else to describe it, but Kane is excellent at horror edging. He's so good at building tension that, by the end, you're begging for a jumpscare to relieve the psychological pressure, but he won't even give you that satisfaction. It's masterful and frustrating.
2. No one seems to discuss the excellence of the sound design. It's clear he puts in as much or more work into the sounds to render horror as much as the graphics. Silence, static, fluorescent hum, breathing, the distant echoes of vast areas unexplored, the VHS-era corporate chirpiness of Async Corp, ethereal tracks in between, and of course the stomach-churning voice of the Thin Entity. All superb.

I absolutely love how there weren’t any jump scares. Like, things happened quickly but nothing ever really was just a sudden shock. The horror relied on more mature tactics, like the anticipation in the beginning, the feeling of inescapable doom during the chase, and the tension filled waiting for the inevitable at the end. It’s all amazing.

10:45 is probably a jump scare

Yub
Hi YuB :)
Seems like the "Bacteria" has a very easy time tracking down the people that we see from the found footage, yet in the video with the researcher that was wearing a hazmat suit, its like the entity lost him nearly instantly.
These things must have a very good sense of "smell", so when you're not wearing a fully enclosed suit they can easily "smell" the trail your body leaves behind.
Which is really horrifying, because this could very well mean that you couldn't ever get away from them if they can track you down like a police dog via smell...
good catch
Oh shit that makes sense. People were guessing that these monsters get smarter over time but this one seemed to be a newborn and still was tracking her down easily, even when she seemingly had a large distance on it.
maybe it is because they keep yelling "hello"
It's because A-sync portal gives our-world stability to backrooms world. Here is a "zero zone" round the portal where entities can't exist or just can't reach this places. Its maybe more complicated than you think.
@@slavetothearistocratics Homie she barely said she after she saw the monster and if she did she kept her voice down.
This is legitimately horrifying. I'm squirming here in my recliner balled up trying to escape the monster right along with her and like, hitting the chair lol. This is so much scarier than most horror movies I've ever seen. This is insane.
This is the first backrooms video that actually made me feel sympathetic for the person. It literally had me on edge and made me flinch with fear. This is the best I’ve seen. Hands down.
Kind of weird that you wouldn’t be sympathetic to the other people just because they were men… So casual with your misandry
@@ExpertContrarian I think its bc in the other videos its usually people that work in the backrooms and know what they're getting themselves into while this is just a girl that is completely clueless and has no idea what's happening. an exception to what they said though would be Kane's 1st backrooms video idk why you wouldn't be sympathetic towards that character

10:40 is my favorite moment. Your eyes are so focused on the door that it makes a really strong jump-scare without needing a loud noise
Putting this video together the Autopsy Report and Pitfall videos, I think we can theorize the origin of the entity:
In this video we see the girl following the blood trail of a supposedly dead guy into a room full of mold/fungi/bacteria, which then transforms into an entity - This confirms that the entity is a plant-like creature that is created by that fungus (or whatever you wanna call it). In Autopsy Report you see that this fungus was present on the recovered body, and we can also see that it was starting to grow around the body when they found it; Could it have grown more and filled the room like we saw here, given time? Perhaps. Then, in the Pitfalls video, we see Marvin follow the sounds of an Entity to a room where someone apparently lived for some time, but instead of a person he finds the entity closeby; Now, what if whoever was living there died (malnutrition, or whatever) and was consumed by the fungus and turned into an entity? If we look at the room walls in that video it looks as if the same kind of vines that we see here also grew there, but just aren't on the walls anymore; Perhaps they gained life and walked away to the other room, just as we see in this video..
TL;DR: The theory is: This fungus grows naturally in the backrooms, and it has the ability to thrive from corpses (or any organic substance?) and eventually be large enough to transform into these sentient moving entities, while having access to the memories of the deceased person and the ability to replicate the sounds they heard during their life.
Liminal space horror is just perfect for building tension. The backrooms make you feel like you should feel familar in a place, yet everything about it is wrong. Not to mention that the use of analog here is akin to home video, that should feel nostagic to many, but again makes it extra creepy instead.
Stop giving maze horror a new name like it's a new thing the genre has been around since the bronze age.
@@manawa3832 Yeah what this guy said, and also stop pointing out the blindingly obvious reasons why it's enjoyable, we know, we are watching it too.
Well im not sure what is up the a$$ of those other two, maybe they just didn't get enough love at kids. (Although english could have just been sarcastic? Hard to tell) But right? The combo of those two is amazing and he perfectly executes the horror you should feel in something like this. He really did deserve that award, I cant believe that he just popped up with this insane work!! And ALL the time he is making so much more i LOVE IT!
I, like many of you on this thread, love the use of Liminal Space and the Uncanny/Uncanny Valley. Many of my fave film makers, writers and visual artists of all kinds have used Liminality and/or the Uncanny in one way or another. From Stanley Kubrick to David Lynch and Ridley Scott (from Plato to Edgar A.Poe to PK Dick and JG Ballard...) Even music can give that same feeling of empty architecture, uncanny liminal space.
Let's just agree, we love being creeped out by these images etc of places and the feelings they can invoke.
I have personally encountered and experienced firsthand a few moments and places of Liminality and that feeling of the uncanny, Uncanny Valley.
It's one thing to be entertained by it in art, film etc. But when it happens to you unexpectedly, in your everyday real world experience, it becomes a whole new level of strange. Sometimes it has been the sound that adds that dimension of creepy. Or I should say the lack of sound. Places where you know it should be busy and noisy with people etc, suddenly unexpectedly quiet, empty, still and the only thing you can hear is your own breathing and your own footsteps. I've been stuck in these spaces, once at an airport at 3am, and once at a main city train station. Both with no one around, the train station was during the daytime.
The oddest one of these was a journey on an empty train, arriving at an empty large city centre train station, coming out through an empty shopping arcade onto an empty main street in the city centre, all completely empty, no fellow passengers alighted the train, no people in the centre, no cars, no buses etc and this was midday?
(Turns out I had unknowingly travelled to and arrived in the city centre during the exact time of Princess Diana's Funeral! A time when the whole of the UK stopped for a couple of hours). Everywhere was still. I doubt I'll ever get to see an entire city centre like this again, during midday, on a weekday. I knew this city well and for it to be anything but how I know it should be was disconcerting to say the least. Imagine my relief when the truth of the situation presented itself! And the world returned to normal.
However...
I still have no explanation as to why other moments of empty liminal space occurred. Never found out why the airport was empty? I even went to walk around looking for life and a coffee. Nothing...
No explanation as to why the other time I found myself in an empty train station. This was a main branch station, where trains from all over the country travel through. It is always busy, as people get trains to everywhere from this station and get trains to the airport or connecting trains, even connecting bus services... Maybe I just happened upon a freak moment in time when all the other trains had just left the station and no others were due to arrive at that moment. Again, I think it was the momentary silence that put the top on it.
thanks for stating the obvious 🙄
I have to say this. This is what the backrooms was suppose to be. Not a level game. But a place of emptiness and fear. Good job Kane.
Very true.
This honestly scared me. I do get scared easily, but jeez this was freaky.
It was never a game in the first place
@Argg especially when she turned around to see if it was still in its room, and jump scared her from the wall. I replayed that and it still jump scared me
@@gent7674 imagine putting a fake checkmark in your name to get clicks get a life
The fact you know that the one who is filming is a kid who was just curious about why there was no collision with the floor is just sad, knowing the kid is basically doomed since she probably is like 8 or so. Her parents are probably on the end of going crazy cause they lost their son but knowing it is just a video brings a sigh of relief.
This is one of the coolest collections I've come across in quite some time! The last time I was into a series enough to binge on it was the "Interface" series. If you haven't seen those I highly recommend! These are VERY well done indeed!
My thoughts:
- The monster followed her past a small difference in elevation *and* between floors, so that kills the theory that monsters can't pass those.
- Unlike previous found footage/recordings, there's nothing to indicate how the footage was actually recovered in this one (i.e. their camera fell to earth or they survived), which is especially mysterious considering how it ended. (I'd love to see a follow up of how A-Sync found this recording or whatever, but it seems just as likely it'll never be mentioned again, alas.)
My theory is, that the footage could be seen on the TV or at least some TV devices in the normal world for some reason
@@e_maccy4589 maybe, that ending could explain that.
Half-Life has conditioned me to associate green lightning with teleportation so I thought she got somehow teleported at the end.
It's possible that this video never made it to A-sync, and some random poor soul found a camera and watched this horrifying video in their living room
It could be that a sync found this recording.
These found footage installments really reveal to me why/how the idea of a labyrinth with a minotaur in it was conceived. Being trapped alone in a twisting confined space with no way out and a monster chasing you really does seem scary when given a fresh perspective and the soft cushion of ancient myth no longer insulating you from the original concept.
Imma just let him kill me at that point. There is no escape, and trying to find one is futile and the few more minutes that you live will be in terror. So not worth it to even try.
What an amazing point! Never stopped to look at it this way before
This comment did remind me of that pacman horror game that went viral a few years ago, though lol
Yes. Exactly where The Shining got the inspiration from.
The monster won't be chasing you in that case. The center is a prison for the monster itself, and a fortress at the same time.

Is anyone else bummed that Kane Pixels stopped making videos on this series? I mean I feel so invested in this series and have so many burning questions: what happened to the girl in this video? Did she die? What was the green stuff? Where did the door go after the "pit room" on pitfalls? What was that weird theater room and the drawing of the house all about? Who was sleeping in that room before the scientist saw the entity? What were the meaning of the "I Remember" and "Overflow" videos about?

Incredible work Kane, you've really outdone yourself with this one
This genuinely freaked me out. The fact that the character sounds like a young teenager makes me feel even more like I’m inside the backrooms.

I love how you made the backrooms look disorderly, like some map with randomly generated features and rooms that aren't properly aligned and clip into each other.
Exactly, this video proves that the back rooms are an alternate reality of the original world, distorting everything to try and replicate the original world.
Holy crap how much of these reply bots are there
In one of the previous videos it all but confirms it was auto generated. A few of the scientists who were starting up the machine for the second time without It exploding or breaking down. One of them was yelling saying to turn it off but the "lead" scientist told them to continue with the test. On the screen you can see a "map" being generated, being the back rooms created in those moments
you mean the rooms _noclip_ into each other. Be a proper Noclipper and use the correct Backroom terms please
@@jongyon7192p clipping and noclip are different terms for different things. Their use of clipping was correct
I absolutely love that we got another person's perspective of their walk through the Backrooms. The ASYNC Research videos were really cool, but there's something so much scarier about an average citizen noclipping into the place and having absolutely no clue where they are or what's going on. And keeping the monster just out of sight is such a good move. While we got a bit of a good look at it in the first video of the series, it's still incredibly mysterious and downright haunting to try and figure the thing out. Lumbering, squiggly, tar-like, and dangerous just by looking at it and hearing it alone. Also, the way the person filming falls into the Backrooms is charmingly realistic. I imagine they dropped something in that one spot one day and watched it mysteriously disappear through the floor, and went absolutely nuts trying to drop other things down there until they fell in themselves. Maybe the fact that they were holding onto the thing they put in there is what "tethered" them to the Backrooms and allowed them to noclip. This series just keeps getting better, and more mysterious with each video! Keep up the amazing work!!

your ability to mimic human behavior in a purely CG environment will never cease to amaze me. The way the handheld camera bobs around unsteadily and even drops the eyeline occasionally really helps sell the shots as reality. Excellent work as always
Reminds me of playing a VR game, honestly.
He tracks his camera movements with a vr headset
@@Fartshart547 That makes so much sense! Thanks for the answer
You can track camera movement with phone
There no escape
I think the reason why Kane’s blender works so well is that the effort is put into the VFX and atmosphere rather than models, and that almost all of the characters have their faces obscured in some way since faces in blender are somewhat difficult to make in a realistic fashion. The hazmat suits, the VHS filter, and the fact that many of the protagonists we view the perspective of don’t show their faces all contribute to keeping the feel of these animations immersive. Not trying to say his animation of faces is bad by any means, but in the “Presentation” back rooms video and when the titans in his AOT animations are shown with faces in focus the immersion is broken a bit. The live-action shots are a good substitute. In the “Report” back rooms video, my suspension of disbelief held even when he switched between animated and live-action sequences. Overall, really solid soundtrack as well.
Yo 🔥czcams.com/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/video.html
his works are just different I don’t know why, but they just have so much detail in them.
'Suspension of disbelief' is a phrase I've only recently heard (35 years and counting). Of course it makes perfect sense, and describes exactly what we're supposed to do when we watch movies/tv/art. That being said, with Kane's videos I rarely even realize that I'm suspending my disbelief in order to enjoy it. I guess that means it's immersive, yes? Words and phrases are weird. Anyway, thanks random youtube comment person!
is not a VHS filter

The existential dread I feel evey time they go around a corner, or call out for help is tremendous. This is literally one of the most terrifying things I have ever watched. Amazing work
Couldn't agree more. On another note, CZcams shrinking the video to accomodate the fact that the mobile keyboard takes up space on the screen is a cool new feature.
This is so true I found it hard to sit through bc of it lol
Very well said.
You should check out the horror genre of movies if you think this boring rubbish is "terrifying."
@@ogcpw4746 if you like cheap jumpscares more than actual horror, then yeah, this might be "rubbish" for you.
I've always seen the monsters as a byproduct of humans dying in the backrooms (and potentially any foreign matter that can decay) and this really solidified it for me. The crash didn't kill the driver, we see signs of struggle leading up to the horrible moldy room and that's where the creature is sleeping. The mold in the missing persons video is spreading from a dead body as well, and not from anything in the backrooms itself. The mold (and entity born from it) could essentially be a contaminant to the backrooms instead of something native to it, caused by some fucky bacteria/substance mixing with the decaying bodies of biological matter that no clipped into the backrooms to create this hyperaggressive mold that spreads and spreads.
It really makes me wonder what the speech mimicry truly is too, maybe vocal chords and a bit of memory/intelligence carries over/is replicated by the mold, maybe the mold chases people because that's all it can recognize with the sliver of humanity it inherited from the corpse it grew from. I could go on but a lot of that might get a bit too into the tin hat theory department, but it really is food for thought, and I adore that this series has struck such a chord in my worldbuilding heart. Keep it up Kane, can't wait to see what else this series has to offer.
Pretty relatable
What
Has the theory about the bacteria monster being an infected tripod camera from "Motion Detected" been dismissed? Cause like a camera can record and play audio? And since it's a motion camera, it only sees things that move, hence the "Don't Move Stay Still" from the 1st vid?
If that's the case Async will have to deal with a monster in their own laboratory
Yeah, still the fact that the room she was in at the end lit up while she was still alive suggests that it's not only the corpses that get this treatment. So I'd guess the mutation is rather a backroom feature and not just a parasite feeding on the dead.
Theory: Like her people were here and searched for an exit. So probably the items that are found are from people that fell into the backrooms and brought the items with them. The car was probably from a person who was driving then no-cliped with the car. He then crashed into the wall. Some items may even be from other universes. Hence, why they look deformed. Broken ceiling tiles may have been the result of people no-clipping into that spot. It is also confirmed in the beginning that they may have carried the items because as she fell, the items went on with her. Anyways, this animation is wonderful. Keep up the good work!
there's an unlisted video that shows a car no clipping into the backrooms.
but im pretty sure kane confirmed its not the same car so idk where i was going with this
THE CAR !
Oh my god it's the car from one of the hidden videos !
Everytime somebody audibly says "HELLO!" or draws attention my spine begins to tingle, Knowing what potential entities could catch hearing of it, even from the distance.
Dark forest theory
Thing is the backrooms is a lot more empty than you think, chances are that nobody hears you there, and even if there were to be anyone that would hear you they’d most likely be hostile
@@tajp917 plus if you had no concept of the backrooms you probably wouldn't assume there were monsters lurking around the corner.
Dialog is SO MUCH better here than in previous videos, they feel like an actual irl character and matches perfectly well with how realistic and bone chillingly "normal" everything else is.

I actually find it to be too repetitive tbh. With some lines just not making any sense or otherwise.
i feel like she should have been much more scared and panicked sounding in there from the start, but maybe that’s just how i would be 🤷♂️
@@watkinscopicat Honestly I agree but also disagree? She's kinda in denial or awe since she was recording about this weird hold in her garage that warped stuff away. She was definitely starting to get a little more panicked but trying to keep her cool is what i'm getting at. Fake it till you make it kinda stuff. But when the bacteria monster finally came around right after the bloodied floor she definitely broke and made some possibly wreck less decisions. I quite like the dialogue though
This is really scuffed lol
If you look closer at 12:54, you’ll see the walls moving and cracks forming. That means the Backrooms is shifting into a “Different Form Of Constructing On It’s Own”.
But there is one catch. Don’t go in into areas that are shifting or else you will die. The cracks are commonly dangerous to go in while “Shifting In To A Form”.
My theory: The car is from someone who was minding their business and suddenly they were in the back rooms, they crashed. They probably walked around and looked for someone, and then the monster appeared and kill them. I think the monster records the audio of people and uses that in order to trick people into coming to it.
The person that crashed the car was in a highway there is footage of the car disappearing right after almost full velocity, the man/woman that crashed the car was infected with the fungus that they caught and overtime they starved to death and it grew into that green thing.
And i think that... they must be the entity that attacked this kid.
All these different types of environments in this ONE place are incredible, yet absolutely terrifying. Great work as always!
@The TacoCat Ok bot
@The TacoCat wtf
Dude he had my favorite level in the backrooms he is making a new icon in horror
@@brenrmad6282 theres no levels
I love how at every chance you had you never put in a jump-scare. Even when the entity first appeared it felt like a smooth transition to avoid s jump-scare but still being terrifying
ya it is really creepy seeing how it is "born" out of nowhere, makes you think if there are multiple of them? are they a new species?
@@creepager1510 not op, but i think that "it" (the entity) is one and the same as the mold. These nests might be a point where it concentrated the most. It's likely that smaller parts of this lifeform are in the air, which would cause these people to start coughing.
What are your thoughts?
@Creative edited videos I’ve already seen the video where it shows a road and a car just drops
@@creepager1510 I think these entities grow from bodies that have had time to rot in the backrooms. Remember the mutant bacteria Async discovered in the autopsy video? This entity was not far from the crash and the trail of blood leading to it. It probably grew from the driver's corpse.
Bro this is crazy good. I love this concept. This should have a movie on it. The VR game is so much fun.
This is one of the best horror shorts i've ever seen
This girl seems like a survivor, wouldn’t surprise me if we see more of her in future clips. Even if she looked screwed it would be nice to see someone survive and escape the backrooms
She already breathed the mold, and there is no food or water.
a natural survivor would move around and explore get more lost and scream for help not knowing what youre gonna find?
@@SpaceKebab tbf she didn't get lost considering she retraced her steps pretty well during the chase
One of these people is bound to come across some ASync employees eventually. Maybe that green light at the end was some ASync transporter tech beaming her out.
well it explains why the shot at the end is someone playing the tape, because it looked like she got pulverized but the tape still exists
This is genuinely one of the most well-made horror stories I have ever witnessed. Keep up the great work, Kane

@The TacoCat Ayo Therme is this dude who Said something baut the backrooms thats wierd af
I’ve been a science fiction fan and horror fan for the longest time.
Being autistic I wasn’t even ten when I read the novels of HG Wells (War of the Worlds, Time Machine, Food of the Gods among others). I’d played Half Life by the time I was 6 and fell in love with its story of crazy terrifying events and occurrences beyond human understanding, then came the Slender Man phenomenon and hype, loved movies like Blade Runner, The Thing, The Quiet Earth, anything Lovecraftian or weirdly bizarre and unexplained. More recently been obsessed with the futuristic electronic music of Jean Michel Jarre, Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin among others.
This whole series has been one of the best things I’ve ever watched. How you drip fed everything, never fell to temptation of handing this story to us on a silver platter.
The fact that you did most if not all of it in animation, kept the jumpscares to a minimum, oh man and now you’re getting a proper movie made?! Congratu-friggin-lations!
Btw side note! Since I was a kid I’ve dreamed and aspired to want to become an actor on screen, and getting involved in well crafted productions like this and working with the most talented people would be a dream come true for me, please get in touch, if you need actors, please let me know!
If I was in the backrooms I would stay quiet
It’s all a perfect trap and lure. You end up in the Backrooms, you get confused, you yell for help, and then the monsters know where you are. Brilliant.
the monsters might be able to call for help too, that's just fantastic
@@dghfgdhfdfghdhfg Either the monsters are an evolved species of fungus that can imitate humans, or they ARE the humans that have mutated. I get the creeps from both.
They always know where you are, they just build up the tension.
Never call for help
@@dghfgdhfdfghdhfg they can actually do that in the pitfalls episode on his channel
The realistic "camera" work is insanely good. Adds so much to the "real feel" of the footage.
I suspect it is real camera data taken from a smarphone motion sensors while walking around.
That is not to diminish it in any way, it is really really well done, and if so, it is a smart way to get real motion capture.
@@Alluvian567 He uses something called "camera shakify" which has artificial camera movements. He streams his blend files on his discord from time to time which was how that was revealed
@@Alluvian567 This or a VR headset.
Hollywood directors
"NO, shake the camera more, more shakey means more scared, gawd"
The car. It's the car that fell into the backrooms in another video. Based off the blood trail, the driver was injured but survived for a short time. The driver walked to where the room with the monster was in the video, and died of injuries. Then, the bacteria/fungi in the backrooms infected and sprouted from the body, claiming the entire room and growing the monster out of the drivers corpse.
As a kid, I used to dream a lot about weird places that had some sort of weird order, but made no sense. Those places look a lot like your backrooms.
It's insane being able to see an interpretation of something I've only seen in dreams in a video. Specially the pools. There were so many pools.
"What is this place even for?" is a pretty good summary of why these videos are so unsettling. We don't like rooms or designs that don't seem to have any purpose

@Owen Polar here is the video of YOUR IP ADDRESS
This is one of the best ones by far. The effects and the potential “birth?” of one of those entities makes this video very fascinating. Also, a new liminal space! Great work Kane.
Ah yes 2 obviously not bots posting the same messages
@Creative edited videos hi could you please go shut up
@Owen Polar you to
I don't think the effects in the end are a entity being born maybe it's the "shift", the backrooms are unstable and change their shape, that's why we saw weird dimensions on some room that were already being worked on by A-sync... and the deformed chairs at the beginning
That's only my view tho
I think it’s a human who died here from the car crash and when we decompose in the backrooms that makes a new entity bacterias
This is what the real definition VFX editing looks like and it’s 1000% awesome!
What I love so much about this episode is how the main character is so different and contrasting to the other protagonist that are often seen in backrooms videos. She’s a young girl who’s thought process and emotions vary from that of a middle aged man/male teen. I find is so chilling that she thinks this is still on earth and it’s just a building that was constructed. That made her seeing the car a bone chilling moment of realization. That monster being essentially fungus growing out of a dead body and taking its form gives an understood creature from the backrooms its horrific origin. Everything from the camera movements to her footstep motions make this the best in the series by far.
Incredible.
(Edit: Spelling)
Oh shit. There was a dead body in that room? Didn't even notice.
@@burkanx5546 sorry it was a very very strong assumption judging by the trail of blood, and painting of the woman. Seems like most other commenters are making this claim too. Chilling stuff.
@@markussimic5882 All good man. I legit didn't notice a body. Hard to see in that room lmao. I noticed the monster dormant before anything else and was like, "Uh oh.." Before it woke.
@@markussimic5882 it's heavily implied that was a body overtaken by some sort of growth, with the blood leading to the room. Person probably was fatally wounded from the crash, stumbled away to die and was consumed by the fungus stuff
Another edit: "it's" isn't possessive with an apostrophe, it's a contraction of it and is.
Even when she’s sprinting full speed it feels like she’s going sooo slow, really replicates the feeling of running away from a monster in a nightmare
Some people don't run very fast, so that really adds to it.
@@Jogeta5 they do when they're running for their life
Seriously some great content! Great horror series you got going. I hope the oldest view is a great new addition!
I kid you not, the first time I saw this I thought someone actually put in the work to build this place in real life, because it looked so real (I'm an 80's kid familiar with all that VCR stuff, also made my own videos with my brother using my father's VHS-8 camera). Long story short, it took me some time realizing this was just rendered. This is why this stuff is so freaking good! Hands down to you Kane for making it real!
The effect of the tape measure being extended down into the floor is genuinely convincing. Great stuff you’ve been making.
Yeah but unfortunately effect of the that ball and other stuff going in was bad imo, camera just cuts and shakes when those go in.
@@jeb123 That was the backrooms warning her not to come in
Ah, a fellow Thomas fan.
so how did he make this effect?
The floor and everything is cg
Seriously impressive to give me a jump scare with… a lightswitch. The craftsmanship and skill creating that kind of horror, then managing to only BUILD from that moment absolutely blows my mind. Legitimate genius.

Wow this is so amazing I need to see more of these!! I’m a backrooms fan/ dreamcore fan and I would maybe like to see more backrooms kind of things!
my heart stops at every jumpscare.. 💀
That Entity isn't just making "scary monster" sounds. It's yelling "No!" and crying out in agony. God knows what kind of suffering the car driver, the autopsy subject, and all the other victims endured in their final moments.
@The TacoCat nah
Maybe the monster don't want to kill us but only want help, we didn't saw a monster kill in any of Kane's videos and even in the first found footage the monster just grap the guy but don't kill him
Makes me wonder if the girl is going to turn into something similar, and if the green lightning effect is what could've turned a human into that entity previously
@@malidevGames the guy in the first video literally gets killed by the monster in the end
@@malidevGames homie it ripped Kane (the character from Found Footage 1) in half, tf do you mean “it didn’t kill anyone”
I think the most disconcerting thing about the way it's shot is that you're constantly reminded that you can't look everywhere all at once if you were there. There's always a route where things can come up behind you. Even if you survived the "day" in there, you have to sleep eventually and you're going to get thirsty and hungry. It's terrifying on so many levels.
Yo no hablo taka taka xd😂
that’s exactly why i can’t watch these in full screen, it’s too scary to think about 😭
This is animation, except for real-life frames. When the roulette has fallen to the floor, it's the graphics, well, it's obvious
@@kibaaaaaa Yeah, I know. I say "it's shot" because you use a virtual camera in the animation software, so you determine how it's "shot" by that camera. I believe I read that he uses Blender.
You're not the only one that felt that 😅 it makes me feel so uneasy
This is a Very well animated video👍
Backrooms levels you found in One of Kane's videos according to the wiki (the original ones Kane pixels made):
Area #1: The complex (level 0)
Appeared in the found footage #1
Area #2: Gallery (original level 188)
Also appeared in found footage #1
Area #3: The Forest: (original forest level)
Appeared in the informational video
Area #4 Crimson Neighborhood
(original level 9 or dark suburbs)
Appeared in pitfalls video
Area #5 The poolrooms
(the original poolrooms/level 37)
Appeared in this video you were watching. (found footage #2)
Those who were curious about this, it's because this is the original backrooms you're watching.
I love the way we witness the backstory and birth of a "monster" here.
Very well done.
Beautiful visual storytelling.
So much better than most horror movies these days.
It is actually called the "Bacteria". Just letting you know
@@syozzayudhistira9113 Thanks I didn't know !
I think when a person die in the backrooms the entity feed and take over their corpse?
@@domhyung My personnal theory is when a person stay too long in the backrooms, they start to "glitch" as does everything in there (for example the stretched table and chairs in this video) and eventually transform into something entirely alien.
So the monsters in there were all originally living beings (humans or animals/plant ?).
But that's just my take after watching all these, I am not familiar with the lore and all theories.
@@syozzayudhistira9113 Not true. That's justa theory.
Part of why these videos are so good is because the creator seems to ignore all of the theorizing (which can only make it less scary) and just keep doubling down on the weirdness. It's perfection.
Exactly! Thank God Kane isn’t going the way of Hello Neighbor
@@codysmith8639 ? What happened with that
@@darkinators they basically gave up developing the game and it’s unique concept (the Neighbor’s AI) and went all in on completely convoluted lore. Let’s just say the final release is not worth it cause it’s a buggy mess, extremely confusing puzzles that you won’t get unless you look it up, and the lore they built is so convoluted that it barely makes the slightest hint of making sense.
Except he didn't ignore all the theorizing. He has stated in his discord server that the backrooms were found not created.
I cant say he did exactly, ignoring all the theorizing. The electromagnetic waves theory presented by film theory seem to hold true a bit. If anything i praise him for not making into a meme filled monster jumpscare curcius. Crossing over SCP with the backrooms and 'entities' is beyond dumb.
A-Sync was wrong about The Backrooms. It isn't a limitless storage space; it's an unlimited power supply! They should have just tapped the wires, stopped paying their electricity bill, and called it a day
Sounds reasonable.
wait actually that's kind of smart, I never thought about that
Thanks for sharing this you put effort into these videos I never saw a series like this!!!
I really like when the backrooms really pushes the limits on weird but somehow believable architecture.
I guess you could say it looks Liminal.
As someone who does drywall, these videos scare me on a whole different level lol. Imagine boarding, mudding, sanding, painting all that drywall then installing all those pot-lights. That would be worse than getting stuck there 😂
It's endless, your work would never stop!
@dissy same lol
As an electrician, I concur.
considering the mold thats there i dont think its maintained well
Every time I see the time lapses of them building the man-made walls I think about how much noise that must have made, and how long the workers would have to have been just standing out in the open of the back rooms to complete it. What was to stop an entity from wandering around the corner while they worked? Terrifying.
I need to know if this is legit becoming a full length movie i hope it does because i dont understand what intrigues me about it but fr kane for a young lad of your age you got real potential keep up the good work and hopefully we get more backrooms content😁😂
this man took creativity on another level, just the goddam creativity he had is amazing and so unbelievable! and horror is not like any other horror, it has creativity and is so fvking different from the other ones, (for example most horror things are similar, have the same horror idea but just said in a different way) but this one is so creative, i love this as it will be my favourite horror of all, i love ur work man!
10:16 is truly terrifying, the horror of being in a room right next to this thing, not even realizing it's there until it attacks. this is by far the best youtube horror series
This unknown entity continues to evolve...
E
Goddamn 4 bots in a row
These boys further prove my loss in faith in the human race
Se ve tan real que si me dicen que es real me lo creeria (spanish)
As I said in the last Found Footage that started this whole series off, the no-clipping part is still just as terrifying. Amazing work, as always.
