Staring at your licensed offer wondering "now what?"
With Halloween here tomorrow I thought this would be a FUN and creepy story to tell... Chadwick here... So there's this photo from 2002. Just a random shot taken during a renovation at a Hobbytown USA store in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Nothing special about it. Empty hallways. Weird lighting. Yellow walls. The kind of pic you'd scroll past in half a second. In 2019 it became a creepypasta called The Backrooms on 4Chan. Fast forward to 2022... A 17-year-old kid named Kane Parsons stumbles across this creepypasta online. And instead of seeing a single picture with text that says... "If you're not careful and you noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in. God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you." He saw something else entirely. Using a program called Blender and his wild imagination, Kane created "The Backrooms" - a 9 minute short film that went absolutely viral. It became this whole online series about a mysterious dimension of endless hallways, strange anomalies, and entities that will kill you. The story centers on the Async Research Institute trying to connect our world to The Backrooms using their Low Proximity Magnetic Distortion System. They're trying to solve overpopulation and storage crises. But things go sideways fast. Employees start disappearing. The system doesn't work as planned. Async tries to keep it all secret while they keep investigating. Now here's what gets me... Kane's entire universe started from ONE photo and a caption. Just waiting for someone to see it differently. And now? It's about to get the Hollywood treatment. Kane is working on a big budget Hollywood film about The Backrooms coming in 2026.
