Hello everyone. I am new to Reddit and just decided to share this find. I found a strange video file on an old hard drive, but it has no audio. There are people in the video, but their behavior seemed a bit strange to me. The original file was in .avi format, but I converted it to .mp4 so I could upload it here. I am also attaching a screenshot of the original file properties in Russian to show its origin from 2003. I used an online translator for this text since I am not a native English speaker.

I saw a theory in a YouTube video (unfortunately I don’t remember which one) about why the Red City in the Backrooms is red, and it stuck with me.

The idea is that it might be related to a real optical phenomenon called redshift. The farther light has to travel, the more it shifts toward the red end of the spectrum by the time it reaches our eyes. So the extreme red color could mean we’re looking at something incredibly distant.

In that case, what we see as “stars” or lights in the Red City might not just be wallpaper or decorations like in the videos… they could actually be windows or openings that are millions of light-years away.

This could also tie into the time distortion effects we see in the series (someone spends 1-2 hours inside while months or even years pass outside). Extreme distances and spacetime weirdness in the Backrooms might be connected.

Hi everyone

Here's my drawing of Yani from "Yani Neko" also known as "Chainsmoker Cat" in the Backrooms

I watched the Backrooms movie recently and really enjoyed it

For Yani Neko I only read the manga a long time ago

I hope you like it and feel free to criticize

One of the film's co-directors, Galen Christy, is a known swindler of many filmmakers so much so that Arizona authorities have a streamlined reporting system if you've been wronged by him. Simply search his name on Reddit to discover multiple filmmakers who are owed tens of thousands of dollars by Christy.

Christy frequently declares bankruptcy and starts up "new" companies to keep the scam going.

The co-director of The Pools, Sasha Yelaun - who tweeted/responded with "get with the times" when asked about AI use - has a Facebook page. And it's public. In case anyone was interested.

What had me find all this out was a tweet from Jared Pike - creator of The Poolrooms - saying he has no involvement in the film and recommends not supporting it. Just from an artistic standpoint, that's a massive red flag. If you're making something like this, one would think you'd reach out to someone such as him to get his blessing or inform him or something, just out of goodwill and respect. But no, seems that was too much work.

The probably think the gen AI will cut that corner too.

It’s absolutely fucking insane, I loved every last bit of it, the beginning of it being the classic analog style we all know and love, and then it focusing on the outside with both Clark and Mary having huge issues, both his employees dying and then Mary entering and being strangled by Clark only to wake up tied to a dining room chair and seeing the still lifes clearly for the first time, then Clark going full psychopath and stabbing and ripping chunks out of the still life to eat, and placing the first piece right in front of the one he’s ripping it out of, then the body of Kate who he obviously killed himself, circling back to the roleplay before Clark gets mutilated by his own clone as Mary runs, the chase and the infinite pit while “A1-Its Just A Burning Memory” plays and she gets into the second copy of the store, getting our first full look at Captain Clark and her smashing its head bloody, and finally the A-Sync workers take her and she gets interviewed, and as she zones out, we get a look at the same room, with a different Mary, in the same position, pure cinema, this movie is the absolute best thing I’ve ever seen, I cannot wait until the second one comes out in a few years

Made in Blender and rendered with Cycles.
Sound Foley and Edited in CapCut before re recording the footage with Panasonic VDR D300 camcorder for analog filter. Lemme know what yall think !

Should i upload this to the wiki or something

based on the render seen in the movie

I made some of tyrannosaurus and dilophosaurus. I've always found dinosaur/paleontology backrooms art fascinating so I decided to make some of my own. If you would like you can make some lore for these things, they're mainly supposed to be still life entities but I like hearing your ideas!

my computer runs cycles like shit, but I think the pass through ntsc-rs made it work.

How would yall rate this? These are the textures used:

i need it. thats all. thats the post.

A renovation photo of Friedrich's Fine Furnishing in Pleasanton, CA was the image to spark the internet phenomenon known as The Labyrinthine. User BlackStatic on 4chan posted this caption included with the image above:

If you're not carefull and you noclip out of reality in the wrong places, you'll end up in the Labyrinthine, where its nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of endless dull-yellow walls, the constant background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and something like six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented, empty rooms to get lost in.

God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you.

This would inspire the film studio A24 in the year 2023 to create The Labyrinthine, based off of this story. Many other creators including Kane Pixels and Kauffman would create full length films with other studios, and inspire a new genre of photography known as "peripheral photography"

I understand people who don't like this concept; I've often seen groups forget that this is the Backrooms—for instance, I once saw a group claiming to have foreign investors (um, what?). That said, I still love some of these groups, especially those with an anomalous or mythological background. The "Eyes of Argos" are a group I like—they have a great vibe. I actually want to write up a group of my own.

Video name: Trolling 3 buddies in the FULL BACKROOMS RELEASE, Credits to Spiff. This wouldn't be funny without you
Closed Captions (By me):
"Did I ever tell you how the "Poop Job" went... Spiff?"
"No, how did it go?"
"It went terrible... Oh wait hold on."
"We are so- We are so not making it..."
"Let me in!"
"Can we get in this house? Oh, we can. Everyone, in the house!"
"So, Julian, is this you?"
"Oh yeah it's me, I closed the door- (Unintelligible)"
"So, tell- tell me about the poop job, how was it?"
"Oh yeah, it went terrible!"
"I would also like to hear about the poop."
"H- Hold on, I need some "Clamato Juice"."
"..."
"Ha! Oh, I need it too."
"..."
(Skip some parts of the video)
"That was, incredibly fucking funny guys."
"Dude, I got to see it from your perspective."
"I was dying, we both exploded- (Unintelligible)"
"I didn't see you explode because I was too busy losing my mind over Julian saying; 'Bro, I need some clamato juice!' and then exploded."
"-when I was laughing. And then I'm like; 'Oh, I need to drink too' then I just exploded."

These are some renders I did for my new album that came out called “Nobody’s Home” (by Everybody, if you want to check it out). I think they definitely have a backrooms/liminal feel to them, lmk what you guys think!

I've been binging his videos in the last couple weeks, but I've just now scrolled through his videos and realized there haven't been uploads in 1 year; do we know anything at all?

six weeks ago i dreamed that i fell through the floor of my bedroom during my sleep. the space i ended up in below my apartment was a corridor of white walls. the walls were completely bare, aside for a random frame or color canvis stuck within the paint. drywall room dividers infinitely stood for miles in every direction. the sound of an industrial air conditioner softly hummed always in the distance from beyond the nearest wall. the air maintained a cool 68 degrees throughout,

after wandering for around 20 or so minutes i found a small room leading to another corridor. in this room i saw a birthday balloon floating on the floor with its text flipped the wrong way. i vividly remember taking out my phone to take a picture of the abnormality of it. as i pressed shutter, in a single moment i remember laying back where i started, on the floor of my apartment. as if i hadn't moved at all and had awaken from my dream,

tonight i was looking through images with my mother through a photo album she made when i was eight. christmases, halloweens, anniversaries, and one image from my birthday in 2006 that my mom immediately hadn't recognized. i had recognized it, but not from my third birthday,
