Halloween Horrors: The Backrooms

Sunday, October 30th, 2022

The Backrooms are a liminal space CreepyPasta setting where you’ve “no clipped” out of reality into and endless office maze of office corridors decorated in ugly yellow wallpaper and brown carpets illuminated by buzzing florescent lights.

Several video creators have run with this idea and produced some pretty convincing depictions of it. In the ones below, YouTuber Kane Parsons, AKA Kane Pixals, has filled in background lore where the Async Corporation has created (or possibly tapped into) The Backrooms as a potential money-making project, documenting their work as bland, 1980s-corporate speak promotional videos and handheld camera footage that have come down to us as grainy VHS copies. It’s a pretty-inspired mating of presentation format and subject.

And the people exploring the Backrooms start to realize that the deeper you get, the weirder things seem to be, and that there’s something else wandering those yellow hallways…

Evidently he’s doing all this in Blender, which you can download for free.

And there are lots more YouTube creators doing their own versions of the Backrooms…

Holy Fark: They’re Making a TV Series of Candle Cove

Tuesday, October 11th, 2016

That was my reaction upon reading this.

In fact, making is probably the wrong word, since it evidently premiered on SyFy tonight. (I’ve been busy.)

If you hadn’t heard of it before, it’s a Creepy Pasta about a obscure kid’s TV marionette show, except most kid’s shows don’t have characters like “The Skintaker.” And naturally, kid’s remember how creepy it was, but parents only remember them watching static.

Here’s a trailer:

And here’s someone’s interpretation of the imaginary show’s imaginary theme music:

Today’s WTF Crime: Attempted Murder for Slenderman

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2014

From the annals of inexplicable crimes, here’s news that two 12-year old girls tried to murder a friend as a sacrifice for Slenderman.

You know, the entirely made-up CreepyPasta horror character.

It’s bad enough to be offered up as a human sacrifice to a real dark god, much less an Internet meme. It’s like a deranged bassist attempting to murder Harry Shearer so he can take Derek Smalls’ place in Spinal Tap…
