The Backrooms is the new hit viral trend in the horror community. How scary is it? COFFEE: topofthemornin... Twitter : / jacksepticeye Instagram : / jacksepticeye Edited by: / tr8ss
29:43 Fun detail: When the creature attacks us, if you go frame by frame, you actually notice that the camera is the only thing that fell. The creature actually took the guy.
It doesn't HAVE to be the creature, this is like a glitch in the system of our world, it's supposed to be unsettling, but things noclip through this universe, so possibly the camera noclipped out while the guy escaped through the exit
FYI, the backrooms was created through a rendering app. Kane has done an absolutely fantastic bit of work with this project. highly anxiety inducing for sure lol.
It would be really impressive if he filmed it with a real camera and then used those real camera movements to move the virtual camera in Blender. It looks so real
Looked like the Japanese house one was 3D as well. If you look close at texture detail it is sometimes less sharp than the edges of objects and the broken wall slats look like they have some rough edges from like photoscanning artifacts or something. Took me a while to be sure though so they did a great job making it look like that
@@shiawase8694 I've looked up the behind the scenes and damn that's an impressive amount of work. It must be a combination of the paper, some movements and Color correction / filters in the final that triggered my 3d brain. It somehow has that photoscanning artifacts look to a lot of the stuff. I guess that adds to the "unrealiness" and gives it a bit more of a creepy vibe
I adore Jack. He saw details I missed in that house walkthrough, but totally missed what I thought was the creepiest part, the body on the bed, and the text saying 'grandmother is here'
As far as I know, 8-bitryan was the first to get into it (recently), and now a lot of people are copying his thumbnail and what he did. (I’m not accusing jack of doing it, it is very similar though)
Honestly, the creatures kill the vibe for me. I love the aspect of a person being stuck in ...nothing. with barely any escape and it's endless (+ I like the damp floors for sum reason). Adding some random creature is well useless
@@anomalous_heart honestly both sway to horrific. The idea of pure isolation for ever till death is scary by it self. That's fear. The creature provides dread, as if any moment and corner you could run into it. The backrooms could rival scp with how extensive the wiki is. I played the game too and yeah, the isolation part fucked with my brain I was actually scared I did some pshyolgocial damage
@@toweldog355 I kinda agree. I think that adding some scary monster makes it feel a bit generic, but maybe something more mysterious could be fitting. Like a shadow that you could only see out of the corner of your eye
There's something naturally unsettling about abandoned and empty spaces, even without any blood staining the floors or shambling nightmares prowling the halls -- when we're in a space that's _supposed_ to be alive with activity, but it's _empty,_ it sets off the same instinctive impulse that makes us recoil from dead things. We feel the vacuum left behind by the absence of people, and it's _terrifying._ Both the house tour video and the Backrooms video disturb me on a more personal level, because they remind me of an experience I once had while taking a mid-afternoon walk through one of the old neighborhoods downtown: I was passing by some old houses in a neighborhood slated for redevelopment -- lots of boarded-over windows, overgrown plants creeping up the sides, the occasional tag, pretty much the sort of thing you'd find in any city on the planet these days -- when I felt compelled to stop in front of one of them, a 2.5-story with one of those attic dormers that people expect to see ghostly figures looking out of if the house was in a horror film. I didn't see any figure, but I could _feel_ something up there -- a churning, fluttering sensation, like a flock of birds in a panicked flight, or a massive school of fish balled together and thrashing against a shark. I'm not sure if I buy into the whole 'psychic/empath' thing, given that the science of it all is squishy at _best..._ but the vibe I got, and the mental image of some dark mass of _something_ behaving like that in the attic of that house, pushed me to speed-walk out of that neighborhood quick as I could. I think the area's been redeveloped by now, but I haven't been back. The crawling sense of _dread_ I felt that day, and that I've felt on occasion around other abandoned spaces... watching those two videos back-to-back brought on the _same reaction._
I believe that's called 'liminal space'. An abandoned or empty area that should be full of the activity but isnt. I'm starting to notice more creepy movies or videos are using liminal spaces to get that feeling of loneliness and anxiety to make the viewer more uncomfortable. I LOVE it. Theres even a website and youtube channel dedicated to finding liminal spaces for filming locations or just that strange feeling you were talking about.
@@gracekami4655 I tend to think of liminality as being more dreamlike than nightmarish -- it's less about the emptiness, and more about the transience, how nothing remains in the space for long. But I _have_ heard that notion of liminal spaces being unsettling before, aye.
"The backrooms" is a concept floating around the internet since 2019. He didn't come up with the backrooms rather he made an adaptation in the form of a short film
I love how Jack was so focused on the random creaking sound, he didn't react to the text saying "My grandmother is here" or see the _actual fucking corpse right there_
For those who didn't know, keeping an altar with paintings/photos of the dead is actually a common thing in Japan. It's how the respect their lost loved ones. They also burn incense at the alter when they feel they are ready to move on, and occasionally leave offerings at the altar. They also leave offerings at their family's grave whenever they visit. If anybody wants to learn something else about how they handle death, look up Japanese funeral Lycoris Radiata.
That hallway one is really proof how new cultures can also offer a new perspective into horror Which was why even as a Chinese, I grew up being horrified by Western horror movies and Japanese horror movies as opposed to Chinese ones when I was younger cuz of the cultural unfamiliarity and the sense of the unknown
It’s also pretty accurate to the lore of the back rooms from what I remember! Apparently the guy who made it is 16 aswell, which makes it so much more impressive
Maybe in no time we will have a war of the worlds radio transmission situation but on film. Just like how people in the first cinemas thought the train was really comming at them.
29:44 Something that normally bugs me about analog camera footage in media, is that its rare for the person to become detached from the camera to give the audience a clear protagonist of the story. Averting this trope entirely by ripping the man away from the camera, and seeing the man being ripped away is a great touch.
I honestly didn't notice that the guy had been ripped away from the camera 'til I saw this comment. I'd noticed the "monster's" shape had changed, had to re-watch and pause to see it had grabbed the guy and was pulling him away from the pit
The concept of “The Backrooms” has actually been around for a few years now and got pretty popular. Getting stuck there is basically what happens when a video game bugs and you fall off the map, but in real life
@@AdamJasper18 It's most likely just some good models of rooms, paired with authentic looking camera movement. The original backrooms image is def a real place, but I doubt there's a full building of just those rooms, especially when he gets to deeper levels
Not many horror videos scare but the house tour was terrifying, so half way through i went and watched the behind the scenes lol and the way the creator just put happy go lucky music while pouring fake blood all over the bathroom floor is hilarious.
@@jinxmonet1978 It's literally on the dudes channel (the one who made the house tour video) as well as it being a timecard that shows at the end of that video..
@@mackenziek830 Not sure how you guys aren't able to find it... .-. The video is called "My house walk-through", he showcases the title of the video at 7:06 and he literally says the name of the title at 7:13 If you search the title up on youtube, you'll literally see it as the first result.
The scare from hearing it behind the guy is scary as well, before that you could hear it far away yelping and stuff, but the moment you hear that thing in your ear, it sends chills down. It's perfect. Just when you feel safe, the thing's right there, waiting for you to look. Also the sound is just perfect, sounds like a little "hey" when he's behind him
I love how he never once noticed the guy saying "grandmother is here" when he entered grandma's room and that she was in a rictus of death under a wet red sheet(?).
The greatest thing about the first video is how well it’s shot. Most of the clips shown are fairly normal, not scary things, but the editing, the lighting, and the angles make it unsettling. I love film so much
The house tour is an excellent example of how to make someone terrified without relying on jumpscares or over obvious tropes, but using the sheer power of atmosphere instead
less is more when it comes to scary stuff :D Subtle things like the moment of "grandma is here" jumpscare me more (I genuinly jumped the first time I watched that video lmao) are far more effective than those typical fnaf kind of jumpscares tbh
I really like these because they are so fucking scary, because its just like how you would look around yourself and just have a double take and suddenly you missed something a lil bit off. And I just try to look away and hear if Jack reacts and then scroll back in the vid to see for myself
The back rooms as a concept aren’t specifically scary, but it’s when you actually immerse yourself and let yourself pretend that, for a second it’s actually real, it actually seems terrifying
Yes, the sense of dread building and total isolation is horrifying! I adore footage type horror most as they do very well in tricking the sub-conscious mind, therefore triggering the instinct of fear, vigilance, and caution.
And what makes the very concept of the environment much more terrifying than the monster itself, in my opinion, is the art of Liminal Space. Just the sight and feel of very open yet enclosed spaces, with muted colour palettes and nothing but the sound of silence or natural ambience, is just enough to install the highly unnerving sense of fight or flight and paranoia. That sinking, creeping feeling that follows you on your back as you look at images of places such as empty shopping malls and large, dark hallways. It is real and it’s terrifying; definitely one of my most favourite types of terror, or horror. A game that recently came out called Anemoiapolis is a great example of encapsulating the nature of this subject.
Nothing is funnier than Sean seeing every tiny detail in the house tour, yet completely misses grandma just dead in her bed 😂😂 Edit: it’s at 16:28 for everyone asking.
The back rooms remind me of when I was younger in large buildings, they would always feel like a maze and the atmosphere felt the same as watching this, an empty feeling
I always used to have wicked nightmares about walking alone in the church I used to go to. And now believe me that church was NOT small, quite large actually. And there were so many halls and rooms, it just made me so scared as a kid.
My interpretation of My House Walkthrough is that the narrator is a wandering spirit who was killed (Along with their grandparents) in the Typhoon they keep mentioning. The house is abandoned and dilapidated because nobody lives there anymore. But the narrator keeps wandering around, recording a video of their home, because they don't know they are dead.
Their 'making of.." was pretty neat. Stuff like that (and these kind of videos) being an interest, it was fun trying to figure out what all they used, after I realized where the loop happens.
Jack, if you looked closely at the ending of the Backrooms, just right before the camera fell back into reality, you can see that the monster actually successfully grabbed onto the person and took him back into the Backrooms. So you can say, that only the camera made it out.
My personal headcannon of the Backrooms is like some sort of fractal space between realities. Just a neverending series of office hallways and empty rooms. You might accidentally slip into this reality in an area where our reality has a tear, even momentarily. They weren't constructed, they only appear familiar due to their proximity to our reality, which is why details in the short film like a gap too narrow for a person to pass through just sell the concept that much better to me. Amazing work!
The back rooms video gets a whole different level of tense and anxiety, the thought of no one with you in a huge environment yet no one in sight just brings all the horror to a different perspective
How Sean never saw Grandmother in the bed and the text that said "Grandmother is here" while the camera lingered on her corpse for like a solid minute is beyond me.
What scared me more during the house tour is that Jack showed no visible reaction to the grandmother, it kinda made the feeling of "this is weirdly normal" just hit harder.
@@sai_mellow9123 he looked away just as it said grandma is here and then read the very next line. I'm fairly certain 90% of the comments here are talking about that
I love that Sean didn't even notice the dead body of the grandmother just, "Huh guess there's nothing here." lol. I'm so glad he finally watched My House Walkthrough though, it's SO cool and the effort that went into making it is bonkers.
@@kalay5651 I pretty much feel the same about it. It was kinda creepy the first few minutes, but after a while it got really boring and it wasn't really all that scary. At least not to me. I can definitley see the effort tho. But to be fair I don't think that any of those videos in this episode were particulary scary.
It’s incredible that Kane is only 16 and has the ability to make something like the backrooms We’re watching the man who will create the future of horror films
@@wikkedrider4928 it's because of your fear toward this backroom film that makes your subconscious mind influence your dream to make it a real and vivid dream. I myself once experienced those dreams... back then i was so scared of those beings that it started to appear in my dream. The key is don't think so much about it. or it will imprint on your subconscious mind :) ....sometimes i wonder how our brain can make our dreams become vivid and real like feeling.
@@wikkedrider4928 backrooms are not real for one main reason Collision detection Even if you were to no clip through something, you would not be able to fall through it because of how small the entitie’s size is, you would collide with the layer behind of under it and stay on solid ground
With he backrooms one, if you slow it down you can see when he’s “pushed” he is actually grabbed by the thing and the camera falls. Just the fact that he was taken by that creature sends chills down my spine.
What's even scarier is that the backrooms aren't even supposed to have people, or creatures, in them. The point is for you to be ENTIRELY alone, so you go slowly insane from the hallucinations your own mind makes up.
I've literally had nightmares like the last one. Sometimes there's something chasing me. sometimes there's just the feeling of complete dread of never being able to get out. It's so interesting how human minds fear the same things.
I think it's a primal fear, something we've carried with us since paleolithic times, like the fear of the dark. Something so deeply ingrained in our collective racial and evolutionary psyche that it's present in most if not all humans regardless of where we come from or our personal histories.
Yea I my nightmares are usually like games where I'm going through a familiar place qith lots of rooms and hallways (usually a school) and I have a few different goals but I don't have any info and I keep getting reset at the start and then the level changes.
same but mine are i know who or what is chasing me but i always die at the end and it happens in schools all the time like that game where you have to try to escape but you have a Yandere trying to find you the one Jack played
The home tour got me and I love it. Normally I don't find horror scary just cool and interesting. Some how it was just disturbing enough to get my anxiety through the roof. Them saying isn't here then saying they're here. Chills. More red the further we go. I love it
@@armaanb.6566 i thought of that too, but its actually more like places u ve never visited but u ve only dreamed of or u ve kept as a memory by watching a movie or even reading a book. Places so humanly but eerie at the same time
I don't really like the backrooms they give me the creeps it's really creative tho I just really love seeing others react to it, it makes me less scared
kane deserves everything he’s getting but also deserves way more, he’s 16 and he produced a video with better quality than most netflix originals almost all by himself
It is one thing to spam because you're a douchebag and just want money, but it is a whole new level of malice to attack a personal and delicate aspect of the human being you're spamming using memes, it is unnecessary and it makes me feel disgusted of this platform who """"""""""cares""""""""""" so much about the content creators that they delete the whole dislike button to """"""""""""protect"""""""" them, but does absolutely NOTHING to stop these spammers which are not only annoying anymore, but have reached the point of being genuinely harmful.
@Zanetti It’s an infinite space. There is no end to it. It’s a fairly repetitive infinite space too. So ofc there will be levels. People can have dreams of said place as well. It doesn’t always show up as just a blank space with tons of walls. It can appear as anything. Any place at all.
It must add a sense of authenticity to it to make the viewer fear the situation that the creator was going through, and when the creator is genuinely scared it makes it better. Awesome
Well, think of it this way. Even if _you're_ the one who built the place to look scary, you don't know every aspect. In a place like that, designed to peak the mind for fear and building dread, falling apart as though it might collapse, you still will be affected like that, and something else or someone else might've changed something without you knowing. Also, in that same sense, in such an area the mind will jump to more and more outlandish theories, such as the fact that you don't know what you might be invoking with whatever you're doing.
"IT KEEPS SAYING GRANDMA ISN'T HERE" Jack... You totally missed the whole "grandma's skeleton laying in the bed" part because you were so focused on the hair. lol
I think Jack completely missed when it showed the... thing on the bed and said "My grandmother is here" in the house tour. I'd have expected more of a reaction if he did see it considering his reaction to the grandfather. Everytime the guy in the Backrooms called out I sucked air through my teeth and flinched, knowing that that was such a bad idea. Drawing attention to yourself, letting anything in the area know you're there, just such terrible ideas.
I don’t know why he wouldn’t have commented on the grandma, especially with his reaction to grandpa, but I don’t know HOW he would have missed her on the bed.
I had a chuckle when Jack was staring at grandmother in confusion, not realizing she is there. Also, by the end of Backrooms you can see the operator being grabbed by the creature, which is a neat detail.
Fun fact: the location at 26:53 was crafted after one of the most famous liminal space/back rooms images. The original image (the unaltered, non-photoshopped version) was taken by a member of the development team for Crows Crows Crows, which is the company in charge of creating the Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe and contains some of the same people who worked on the original Stanley Parable: HD Remix. The photo was taken while on a work trip, the two silhouettes were him and a coworker in the reflection of a window while they took the pic. The reason this is so interesting is that The Stanley Parable is known for being set in a liminal, “Backrooms-esque” office space, but prior to the backrooms mythos being created. Isn’t that neat?
@@justacreecher428 That place actually exists, it's an inverse hotel somewhere in the UK I think Edit: for clarification the courtyard image is what I'm talking about
Fun fact: For the “My house tour” video, in the Hina Doll room- that refers to a ceremony called Hinamatsuri, where dolls are placed on a special stand, supposed to bless the household with health and good fortunes. The day after Hinamatsuri, the dolls are symbolically thrown away, usually into a river, having absorbed all the bad fortune and negative energy, and purifying the household. The fact that these Hina dolls have never been removed only adds to the horror- they’ve been soaking up bad energy for years, collecting it, making the place worse.
“I think an alter with like old pictures of people who are likely gone your just giving ghosts a doorway” Literally just described día de los muertos in a nutshell😂😂😂
They literally are doing just that lol. It's an Eastern culture to think the spirit of their loved ones or ancestors would watch over and protect them. That's why they would keep the ashes of their dead family inside their house. The Chinese and Koreans used to do this too, but I think the Japanese are the only ones who'd still do that.
Honestly the "my house tour" or what it was called was so fucking scary, just because there was so many tufts of hair hidden in plain sight, if you watch it back, there is much much more than you'd think! Even if it was just a shadow when he was walking by
The making of my house walkthrough is really cool, definitely shows how that the creator went through a lot of effort. It also makes you feel good again after watching lol
what makes the Backrooms even worse is knowing that only the camera fell back through, and the Wanderer was stuck in Level 0, at the mercy of that thing.
Kane Pixels deserves more goddamn recognition. His AOT footage is almost legit looking you might think the founding wiped our memories and this dude gave us the info
Yeah, i came to know him way back in time with his first aot historical footage. Funny enough, i saw the backrooms footage when i was looking his channel to see if he had posted any new Historical footage of AOT, by when i watched it had 200k views.
I feel like the house tour is what happens with ghosts after a traumatic event. In this case, the typhoon likely killed the whole family when it swept through and destroyed the house, now the ghost of the grandson just wanders through the halls, endlessly, as the house deteriorates more and more.
During the house tour they said "He was always listening to sutra" then the second time they said "He is always listening to sutra" Changing past to present tense. Its subtle and creep as hell
"Did he just fall through the ground?" Yep! The Backrooms are where you go when you noclip through solid surfaces IRL like a video game. That's part of the horror, that you can just trip and fall into them and be lost forever.
There’s a place in one of the buildings on my college’s campus that’s in the girl’s bathroom that’s super weird. Like, it’s a normal bathroom but there’s like a side room in the bathroom with a chair and a door that leads to who knows where and a mirror, and it gives me backroom vibes. I dunno, it could be a maintenance closet but there isn’t any signage on the door and the floor switches from normal tile to carpet and the walls are a weird color
Honestly Kane's Backrooms video goes above and beyond anything the Backrooms wiki has made. The wiki tries *so* hard to be like SCP that it shoots itself in the foot, but Kane's take on the Backrooms is just perfect.
I feel the same way. All these billions of "Levels" with all their gimmicks and weird Ecosystem of "entities" really takes away what made the Backrooms so eerie and interesting. All of these ideas in the Backrooms Wiki would be great for something else. They should become their own thing, not just an extension to the Backrooms.
@@nyancatpoptart5441 One of the things that really confuses me about the wiki is how it deals with "sanity" like it's some resource? And you drink Almond water to stay sane? What??
@@nyancatpoptart5441 I feel that the levels adds an expansiveness to the amount of liminal spaces there are in The Backrooms, but for entities I feel they could cut short on the amount of entities there are in there.
@@J.PC.Designs i mean you are alone for the most part,as there's at most 1 base in the entire massive level. But it also makes sense, if the backrooms have been pulling people in for decades, you cant expect everyone pulled in to just not do anything about it, human nature at its finest here
8:00 actually having an altar for ancestors and deceased family is quite normal in japan! Definitely doesn’t take away from its eerieness at night though haha…
I hope jack reacts to Kane's other backrooms videos. It really seems like it's leading somewhere awesome. The backrooms is such a strange and unique creepypasta.
I can’t believe Sean completely missed the grandmother in the bed with the red sheath over her…literally her body outline was completely visible…terrifying video, really creates a feeling of dread and anxiousness!
@@tejasgingerbelle6583 no...theres a behind the scenes video for my house tour, it shows how he did pretty much everything you see in the video, the grandmother and grandfather too
Jack for what you are wondering, "DID HE FALL THROUGH THE GROUND?!?!?" what happened was he went through a wall that was noclipped into reality meaning its not supposed to be there
Jack, The Backrooms looks like an indie horror game because IT IS. Thr Backrooms is a pretty famous creepypasta that was made into a game. You should play it it is on steam somewhere
@@dingdawng the video was made in blender and actually partially in the backrooms STEAM game the only part from the STEAM game was the very very beginning when he wakes up.
I honestly recommend checking out the behind the scenes of the "my house walkthrough" because the way they did everything is really cool and interesting :)
It was cool seeing the set and prop design, but I wish they showed more of their lighting and camera setup and how they gave everything such a grimy textured look.
I'm glad that people like Spedicey and Markimoo are getting into these videos, because I'm far too chicken to watch them on their own without the buffer of commentary.
in october 2016 there was a typhoon where 3 people died, so its implied that its the cameraman, grandfather, and grandmother who died in the typhoon, which is why hes stuck in a purgatory until he finally goes to sleep
I started laughing hard when Jack thought it said "grandmother was not here" but in fact she was just laying there in her bed and the subtitle clearly saying "Grandmother is here" and the only thing that scared Jack was Grandpa in the tub, lol XD
The backrooms are a classic creepypasta where you can supposedly no clip or glitch through any surface in reality and fall into the backrooms, much like glitching through a wall in a video game and falling into an endless void. I really recommend anyone to do some deeper research into the lore, it’s actually really interesting
Short explanation of the backrooms: The backrooms are a realm that can be accessed by "No clipping" through reality. They have a seemingly endless amount of levels, all based on Liminal Spaces: Empty malls, schools, etc. There are also entities and monsters in the backrooms, which are very dangerous and hostile.
@@Magpie-Syndrome you would have to be traveling extremely fast, which would have you going through something solid. As seen in the video he fell and he no clipped. It's a matter of where it happens that determines if you end up in the back rooms. Just make sure you aren't trying to force yourself through something and you should be fine. Noclipping out of reality should be similar to breaking videogame physics. A good reference would be speedrunning when players repeatedly run/jump into a corner until they fall through the map. !!
The Backrooms is actually like a full SCP type thing that I think would definitely be worth looking into. Its got a lot of lore and I think you’d actually enjoy going through it. I know I did.
Backrooms is best when it is simple like it was at the start. Kane Pixels does a good job of expanding on the lore without the redundancy that the Backrooms "lore" has today. Sorry for my nitpicking, the state of the Backrooms just annoys me.
Jack: *looks from microscopic details*
Also Jack: *misses the very obvious dead body under a blanket on a bed*
Exactly what I was thinking
Yea. Grandmother IS here! She’s right there!

It doesn't HAVE to be the creature, this is like a glitch in the system of our world, it's supposed to be unsettling, but things noclip through this universe, so possibly the camera noclipped out while the guy escaped through the exit

The back rooms storylines out there have always terrified me even ignoring the creatures that inhabit them, that video is so well done

@@toweldog355 I kinda agree. I think that adding some scary monster makes it feel a bit generic, but maybe something more mysterious could be fitting. Like a shadow that you could only see out of the corner of your eye
Where would that even be filmed am I dumb?
@@toweldog355 Disagree, without the creature they are just rooms, but the stalking in an endless unescapable place is why its so scary.
There's something naturally unsettling about abandoned and empty spaces, even without any blood staining the floors or shambling nightmares prowling the halls -- when we're in a space that's _supposed_ to be alive with activity, but it's _empty,_ it sets off the same instinctive impulse that makes us recoil from dead things. We feel the vacuum left behind by the absence of people, and it's _terrifying._
Both the house tour video and the Backrooms video disturb me on a more personal level, because they remind me of an experience I once had while taking a mid-afternoon walk through one of the old neighborhoods downtown: I was passing by some old houses in a neighborhood slated for redevelopment -- lots of boarded-over windows, overgrown plants creeping up the sides, the occasional tag, pretty much the sort of thing you'd find in any city on the planet these days -- when I felt compelled to stop in front of one of them, a 2.5-story with one of those attic dormers that people expect to see ghostly figures looking out of if the house was in a horror film.
I didn't see any figure, but I could _feel_ something up there -- a churning, fluttering sensation, like a flock of birds in a panicked flight, or a massive school of fish balled together and thrashing against a shark. I'm not sure if I buy into the whole 'psychic/empath' thing, given that the science of it all is squishy at _best..._ but the vibe I got, and the mental image of some dark mass of _something_ behaving like that in the attic of that house, pushed me to speed-walk out of that neighborhood quick as I could. I think the area's been redeveloped by now, but I haven't been back.
The crawling sense of _dread_ I felt that day, and that I've felt on occasion around other abandoned spaces... watching those two videos back-to-back brought on the _same reaction._
I believe that's called 'liminal space'.
An abandoned or empty area that should be full of the activity but isnt.
I'm starting to notice more creepy movies or videos are using liminal spaces to get that feeling of loneliness and anxiety to make the viewer more uncomfortable. I LOVE it.
Theres even a website and youtube channel dedicated to finding liminal spaces for filming locations or just that strange feeling you were talking about.
@@gracekami4655 I tend to think of liminality as being more dreamlike than nightmarish -- it's less about the emptiness, and more about the transience, how nothing remains in the space for long. But I _have_ heard that notion of liminal spaces being unsettling before, aye.
@@gracekami4655 what's the channel called?
The feeling evoked by a place normally bustling with people being completely empty is known as "kenopsia"
@@eviltoad746 I had no idea what the word for that feeling was -- thanks a bunch!
The fact that the backrooms short movie was made by a 16 year old boy is amazing. He has so much talent at such a young age

"The backrooms" is a concept floating around the internet since 2019. He didn't come up with the backrooms rather he made an adaptation in the form of a short film
He may have talent but doesnt have any originality like who the fuck even thinks backrooms are scary anymore

For those who didn't know, keeping an altar with paintings/photos of the dead is actually a common thing in Japan. It's how the respect their lost loved ones. They also burn incense at the alter when they feel they are ready to move on, and occasionally leave offerings at the altar. They also leave offerings at their family's grave whenever they visit. If anybody wants to learn something else about how they handle death, look up Japanese funeral Lycoris Radiata.

Ive always liked his contents and has been subscribed for a while, Im glad hes getting a lot of attention now.
It reminded of something out of the SCP universe.
Completely agree. It is a masterpiece.
29:44 Something that normally bugs me about analog camera footage in media, is that its rare for the person to become detached from the camera to give the audience a clear protagonist of the story.
Averting this trope entirely by ripping the man away from the camera, and seeing the man being ripped away is a great touch.
That’s something they did in outlast and I personally loved it found footage adds so much realism
I honestly didn't notice that the guy had been ripped away from the camera 'til I saw this comment. I'd noticed the "monster's" shape had changed, had to re-watch and pause to see it had grabbed the guy and was pulling him away from the pit

The video is called "My house walk-through", he showcases the title of the video at 7:06 and he literally says the name of the title at 7:13
If you search the title up on youtube, you'll literally see it as the first result.
The monster was quiet... It *LEARNED* from it's first failed hunt. To me, that is the creepiest thing, when the monster learns and adapts.
The scare from hearing it behind the guy is scary as well, before that you could hear it far away yelping and stuff, but the moment you hear that thing in your ear, it sends chills down. It's perfect. Just when you feel safe, the thing's right there, waiting for you to look. Also the sound is just perfect, sounds like a little "hey" when he's behind him
Like how tigers are learning to attack people regardless

@@nicknamedd_ someone's gonna think you were talking about BTS the boy band
The greatest thing about the first video is how well it’s shot. Most of the clips shown are fairly normal, not scary things, but the editing, the lighting, and the angles make it unsettling. I love film so much
The house tour is an excellent example of how to make someone terrified without relying on jumpscares or over obvious tropes, but using the sheer power of atmosphere instead
less is more when it comes to scary stuff :D
Subtle things like the moment of "grandma is here" jumpscare me more (I genuinly jumped the first time I watched that video lmao) are far more effective than those typical fnaf kind of jumpscares tbh
I really like these because they are so fucking scary, because its just like how you would look around yourself and just have a double take and suddenly you missed something a lil bit off. And I just try to look away and hear if Jack reacts and then scroll back in the vid to see for myself

The back rooms as a concept aren’t specifically scary, but it’s when you actually immerse yourself and let yourself pretend that, for a second it’s actually real, it actually seems terrifying
Wet empty carpet rooms are pretty spooky
Yes, the sense of dread building and total isolation is horrifying! I adore footage type horror most as they do very well in tricking the sub-conscious mind, therefore triggering the instinct of fear, vigilance, and caution.
I love the backrooms as a concept I think its great.
And what makes the very concept of the environment much more terrifying than the monster itself, in my opinion, is the art of Liminal Space. Just the sight and feel of very open yet enclosed spaces, with muted colour palettes and nothing but the sound of silence or natural ambience, is just enough to install the highly unnerving sense of fight or flight and paranoia. That sinking, creeping feeling that follows you on your back as you look at images of places such as empty shopping malls and large, dark hallways. It is real and it’s terrifying; definitely one of my most favourite types of terror, or horror. A game that recently came out called Anemoiapolis is a great example of encapsulating the nature of this subject.
Nothing even compares to mandela catalogue. After watching that nothing scares me really.
Nothing is funnier than Sean seeing every tiny detail in the house tour, yet completely misses grandma just dead in her bed 😂😂
Edit: it’s at 16:28 for everyone asking.
IKR LOL
I was wondering if anyone else saw it
Ikr? Noticed that immediately tbh
He missed the "Hair" Being everywhere, i feel like he would have been creeped out even more if he seen it movieng around in every shot
Same I was like did he really not catch dead grandma but called out the cuts?
The back rooms remind me of when I was younger in large buildings, they would always feel like a maze and the atmosphere felt the same as watching this, an empty feeling
Glad I’m not alone 😅
Exactly
I always used to have wicked nightmares about walking alone in the church I used to go to. And now believe me that church was NOT small, quite large actually. And there were so many halls and rooms, it just made me so scared as a kid.
@@TeddyK1ng I also had a similar dream to yours and but they looked like a maze and were eeriely similar to the backrooms. It was recurring too.
My interpretation of My House Walkthrough is that the narrator is a wandering spirit who was killed (Along with their grandparents) in the Typhoon they keep mentioning. The house is abandoned and dilapidated because nobody lives there anymore. But the narrator keeps wandering around, recording a video of their home, because they don't know they are dead.
I love how Sean is more concerned with the hair, then he is with the grandma laying in the bed
This is exactly what I was thinking 🙁
I don't think he even realized that she was there. He only talked about the grandfather
I had the same thought! Somehow I think he missed all the shots of her body.
He missed the subtitle of “my grandmother is here” as well.
I came here just to see if anyone saw that! 😂
That "My House Walkthrough" is one of my favourite atmospheric short horror clips on the internet. I'm glad you watched it with us and enjoyed it!
Their 'making of.." was pretty neat. Stuff like that (and these kind of videos) being an interest, it was fun trying to figure out what all they used, after I realized where the loop happens.
Jack, if you looked closely at the ending of the Backrooms, just right before the camera fell back into reality, you can see that the monster actually successfully grabbed onto the person and took him back into the Backrooms. So you can say, that only the camera made it out.

My personal headcannon of the Backrooms is like some sort of fractal space between realities. Just a neverending series of office hallways and empty rooms. You might accidentally slip into this reality in an area where our reality has a tear, even momentarily.
They weren't constructed, they only appear familiar due to their proximity to our reality, which is why details in the short film like a gap too narrow for a person to pass through just sell the concept that much better to me. Amazing work!
The back rooms video gets a whole different level of tense and anxiety, the thought of no one with you in a huge environment yet no one in sight just brings all the horror to a different perspective
How Sean never saw Grandmother in the bed and the text that said "Grandmother is here" while the camera lingered on her corpse for like a solid minute is beyond me.
What scared me more during the house tour is that Jack showed no visible reaction to the grandmother, it kinda made the feeling of "this is weirdly normal" just hit harder.
Honestly same, he read the text and I waited for him to comment on the body and he just didn't, kind of made me even a little more scared
@@sai_mellow9123 he looked away just as it said grandma is here and then read the very next line. I'm fairly certain 90% of the comments here are talking about that

I didn’t notice that but it makes it so much more upsetting and terrifying. Thanks /lh
I've literally had nightmares like the last one. Sometimes there's something chasing me. sometimes there's just the feeling of complete dread of never being able to get out. It's so interesting how human minds fear the same things.
I think it's a primal fear, something we've carried with us since paleolithic times, like the fear of the dark. Something so deeply ingrained in our collective racial and evolutionary psyche that it's present in most if not all humans regardless of where we come from or our personal histories.
Yea I my nightmares are usually like games where I'm going through a familiar place qith lots of rooms and hallways (usually a school) and I have a few different goals but I don't have any info and I keep getting reset at the start and then the level changes.
same but mine are i know who or what is chasing me but i always die at the end and it happens in schools all the time like that game where you have to try to escape but you have a Yandere trying to find you the one Jack played
The home tour got me and I love it. Normally I don't find horror scary just cool and interesting. Some how it was just disturbing enough to get my anxiety through the roof. Them saying isn't here then saying they're here. Chills. More red the further we go. I love it

It must add a sense of authenticity to it to make the viewer fear the situation that the creator was going through, and when the creator is genuinely scared it makes it better. Awesome

Well, think of it this way. Even if _you're_ the one who built the place to look scary, you don't know every aspect. In a place like that, designed to peak the mind for fear and building dread, falling apart as though it might collapse, you still will be affected like that, and something else or someone else might've changed something without you knowing. Also, in that same sense, in such an area the mind will jump to more and more outlandish theories, such as the fact that you don't know what you might be invoking with whatever you're doing.

Fun fact: the location at 26:53 was crafted after one of the most famous liminal space/back rooms images. The original image (the unaltered, non-photoshopped version) was taken by a member of the development team for Crows Crows Crows, which is the company in charge of creating the Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe and contains some of the same people who worked on the original Stanley Parable: HD Remix. The photo was taken while on a work trip, the two silhouettes were him and a coworker in the reflection of a window while they took the pic. The reason this is so interesting is that The Stanley Parable is known for being set in a liminal, “Backrooms-esque” office space, but prior to the backrooms mythos being created. Isn’t that neat?

Fun fact: For the “My house tour” video, in the Hina Doll room- that refers to a ceremony called Hinamatsuri, where dolls are placed on a special stand, supposed to bless the household with health and good fortunes.
The day after Hinamatsuri, the dolls are symbolically thrown away, usually into a river, having absorbed all the bad fortune and negative energy, and purifying the household.
The fact that these Hina dolls have never been removed only adds to the horror- they’ve been soaking up bad energy for years, collecting it, making the place worse.
“I think an alter with like old pictures of people who are likely gone your just giving ghosts a doorway” Literally just described día de los muertos in a nutshell😂😂😂
Context is everything lol
Agreed... Not me having an altar for my grandma
I kept thinking of the anime Another for some reason.
They literally are doing just that lol. It's an Eastern culture to think the spirit of their loved ones or ancestors would watch over and protect them. That's why they would keep the ashes of their dead family inside their house.
The Chinese and Koreans used to do this too, but I think the Japanese are the only ones who'd still do that.
Honestly the "my house tour" or what it was called was so fucking scary, just because there was so many tufts of hair hidden in plain sight, if you watch it back, there is much much more than you'd think! Even if it was just a shadow when he was walking by
The best thing is, dude still has the house mostly that way, he did not bother to clear it up and is living in the "guest house" now :D
even the dead grandmother in the bed that sean missed so many times xD
The making of my house walkthrough is really cool, definitely shows how that the creator went through a lot of effort. It also makes you feel good again after watching lol
I like how it has some very clear inspiration from PT but manages to make it work with the film format
what makes the Backrooms even worse is knowing that only the camera fell back through, and the Wanderer was stuck in Level 0, at the mercy of that thing.
Kane Pixels deserves more goddamn recognition. His AOT footage is almost legit looking you might think the founding wiped our memories and this dude gave us the info
Bro his first found footage aot thing looked so damn realistic it was amazing
Yeah, i came to know him way back in time with his first aot historical footage. Funny enough, i saw the backrooms footage when i was looking his channel to see if he had posted any new Historical footage of AOT, by when i watched it had 200k views.
The thing is Kane is 16 years old and the amount of CGI he had to do is amazing
Love your content Sean
It looks so real i thought they just found an empty office block lol
@Blue 🔥 yeah, totally looks like you make better content, with your 1 video for a Mr Beast giveaway. Stop spamming his comments with this.
@@SubToCineMasonTV it's a bot don't bother
@@SubToCineMasonTV i just report any shit i see like that for hate speech it’s disgusting spam
they're 16??? they're one of the best content creators the internet has ever seen and they're only 16??
I feel like the house tour is what happens with ghosts after a traumatic event. In this case, the typhoon likely killed the whole family when it swept through and destroyed the house, now the ghost of the grandson just wanders through the halls, endlessly, as the house deteriorates more and more.
During the house tour they said "He was always listening to sutra" then the second time they said "He is always listening to sutra" Changing past to present tense. Its subtle and creep as hell
"Did he just fall through the ground?" Yep! The Backrooms are where you go when you noclip through solid surfaces IRL like a video game. That's part of the horror, that you can just trip and fall into them and be lost forever.
There’s a place in one of the buildings on my college’s campus that’s in the girl’s bathroom that’s super weird. Like, it’s a normal bathroom but there’s like a side room in the bathroom with a chair and a door that leads to who knows where and a mirror, and it gives me backroom vibes. I dunno, it could be a maintenance closet but there isn’t any signage on the door and the floor switches from normal tile to carpet and the walls are a weird color
Honestly Kane's Backrooms video goes above and beyond anything the Backrooms wiki has made. The wiki tries *so* hard to be like SCP that it shoots itself in the foot, but Kane's take on the Backrooms is just perfect.
I feel the same way. All these billions of "Levels" with all their gimmicks and weird Ecosystem of "entities" really takes away what made the Backrooms so eerie and interesting.
All of these ideas in the Backrooms Wiki would be great for something else. They should become their own thing, not just an extension to the Backrooms.
@@nyancatpoptart5441 One of the things that really confuses me about the wiki is how it deals with "sanity" like it's some resource? And you drink Almond water to stay sane? What??
@@nyancatpoptart5441 I feel that the levels adds an expansiveness to the amount of liminal spaces there are in The Backrooms, but for entities I feel they could cut short on the amount of entities there are in there.
@@J.PC.Designs from what i understand, the "government" is just ppl who fell into the backrooms banding together, not actual US government or anything
@@J.PC.Designs i mean you are alone for the most part,as there's at most 1 base in the entire massive level.
But it also makes sense, if the backrooms have been pulling people in for decades, you cant expect everyone pulled in to just not do anything about it, human nature at its finest here
Notice that as the “My House” video was playing the person got faster as the tradition continued looking as though he started to panic.
8:00 actually having an altar for ancestors and deceased family is quite normal in japan! Definitely doesn’t take away from its eerieness at night though haha…
fyi, eeriness is a word! :)
@@kxlsin thank you! Will edit to fix!
oddly wholesome comment section and reply
And that is why you have a ghosts problem 😂
Literally the best backrooms related horror video that exists thus far. He made a great ARG and is continuing as well
I hope jack reacts to Kane's other backrooms videos. It really seems like it's leading somewhere awesome. The backrooms is such a strange and unique creepypasta.
There's also a video called "INTO THE BACKROOMS" that is also pretty good, even if it isn't as realistically based as the video shown here is.
I can’t believe Sean completely missed the grandmother in the bed with the red sheath over her…literally her body outline was completely visible…terrifying video, really creates a feeling of dread and anxiousness!
yeah i was weirded out by that too, I think he was so nervous he overlooked it.
You should also check out the behind the scenes video
@@fantomagnik Sean’s behind the scenes videos? Where do I watch them? Are they on another channel or platform?
@@tejasgingerbelle6583 no...theres a behind the scenes video for my house tour, it shows how he did pretty much everything you see in the video, the grandmother and grandfather too
Ye how did he miss that
Jack for what you are wondering, "DID HE FALL THROUGH THE GROUND?!?!?" what happened was he went through a wall that was noclipped into reality meaning its not supposed to be there
correction: he noclipped through the ground
Back rooms belike

What creeps me out about the Backrooms is when the robots attack, they sound like they're screaming, like human screams.
Plot twist: those who get trapped in the Backrooms become part of that monster.
i thought they were screaming "don't move" like the writing on the wall, especially in the first chase
@@hirallyly I wanna know if not moving really would have helped
@@yoake-2919 personally, I doubt it
@@yoake-2919 same
Jack, The Backrooms looks like an indie horror game because IT IS. Thr Backrooms is a pretty famous creepypasta that was made into a game. You should play it it is on steam somewhere
Though the video itself isn't, the concept itself was turned into one
@@dingdawng the video was made in blender and actually partially in the backrooms STEAM game
the only part from the STEAM game was the very very beginning when he wakes up.
there is a whole scp-like universe on backrooms! its not just a game, there is so much more!!
24:05 "Wait, did I see something down that dark hallway?" How do you sum up horror in one sentence? xD
I honestly recommend checking out the behind the scenes of the "my house walkthrough" because the way they did everything is really cool and interesting :)
Didn't Sean watch the my house walkthrough in a previous video
It was cool seeing the set and prop design, but I wish they showed more of their lighting and camera setup and how they gave everything such a grimy textured look.
i would but the song is annoying
I'm glad that people like Spedicey and Markimoo are getting into these videos, because I'm far too chicken to watch them on their own without the buffer of commentary.
Exactly!
The backrooms actually got me. Most of these videos, when Jack is commenting over them, usually don't get me, but the backrooms did
The back rooms genuinely got me that “holy shit I’m falling!!” Feel
Yeah and then the fact that at the end only the camera survived because the monster took the guy if you look closely
in october 2016 there was a typhoon where 3 people died, so its implied that its the cameraman, grandfather, and grandmother who died in the typhoon, which is why hes stuck in a purgatory until he finally goes to sleep
I started laughing hard when Jack thought it said "grandmother was not here" but in fact she was just laying there in her bed and the subtitle clearly saying "Grandmother is here" and the only thing that scared Jack was Grandpa in the tub, lol XD
And then he even read some of the comments pointing out the "grandmother is here" and still only talked about grandpa in the tub :D
The backrooms are a classic creepypasta where you can supposedly no clip or glitch through any surface in reality and fall into the backrooms, much like glitching through a wall in a video game and falling into an endless void. I really recommend anyone to do some deeper research into the lore, it’s actually really interesting
Short explanation of the backrooms: The backrooms are a realm that can be accessed by "No clipping" through reality. They have a seemingly endless amount of levels, all based on Liminal Spaces: Empty malls, schools, etc. There are also entities and monsters in the backrooms, which are very dangerous and hostile.
Well actually the male death eater moths aren't hostile ir dangerous and can even be tamed!!
If anyone wants to know any more about it there's an entire wiki
Thanks for the info! I was curious what all "backrooms" hype is about
I-
How would you “no clip” reality?
I would like to know so I *never* do it
@@Magpie-Syndrome you would have to be traveling extremely fast, which would have you going through something solid. As seen in the video he fell and he no clipped. It's a matter of where it happens that determines if you end up in the back rooms. Just make sure you aren't trying to force yourself through something and you should be fine. Noclipping out of reality should be similar to breaking videogame physics. A good reference would be speedrunning when players repeatedly run/jump into a corner until they fall through the map. !!

The way I waited for it to be 2am to do this exact same thing.
@Beast v2🔥 ok dont care + ratio
Really sad that jack missed the "grandmother is here" scare. Literally made my heart jump out of my chest the first time I watched it
I was thinking the same thing
same!
Truuu
Why did he even missed it hahaha
The Backrooms is actually like a full SCP type thing that I think would definitely be worth looking into. Its got a lot of lore and I think you’d actually enjoy going through it. I know I did.
Backrooms is best when it is simple like it was at the start. Kane Pixels does a good job of expanding on the lore without the redundancy that the Backrooms "lore" has today.
Sorry for my nitpicking, the state of the Backrooms just annoys me.
@@frodobaggins941 yea dude, i feel the same way. The backrooms was better when it was simple, fanbases have kinda ruined it at this point
@@frodobaggins941 It kinda became the "liminal spaces" community in a way tho
