As the upcoming movie The Backrooms opens up around the world starting tomorrow, May 29, I wanted to post a little homage to this interesting lore.

And what is not better than posting your own AI-created backrooms - with pretty models? I noticed all the girls were facing away from the camera. Interesting. Here is some interesting facts about The Backrooms.

The Backrooms are an internet-born urban legend and creepypasta depicting an endless, labyrinthine maze of empty, liminal spaces accessed by accidentally "noclip[ing]" out of reality.

 It is characterized by the constant hum-buzz of fluorescent lights and 600 million square miles of damp, yellow carpeting. Let's add some other colours.

The Origin

The Backrooms were born on 4chan in May 2019 when an anonymous user posted an image of an empty room with old, off-yellow wallpaper and beige carpet, accompanied by a prompt describing what happens when one phases out of reality.

The Name "Noclip"The phrase "noclipping" comes from early video game terminology. It refers to the ability to phase through solid walls or floors, which players used to explore out-of-bounds map areas.

The Inspiration

There is no one true, physical location for the Backrooms. 

Instead, they are deeply rooted in the concept of "liminal spaces"—places that are ordinarily busy (like offices, malls, or hotel corridors) but appear unnaturally empty, evoking an eerie, uncanny feeling of false familiarity.

The Infinite "Levels"What started as a single photo has evolved into a massive, crowdsourced universe. Online wikis document thousands of different "levels," ranging from mundane parking garages and abandoned pools to incomprehensible, existential voids.

The Lore & "Entities"The seemingly endless, empty corridors are not entirely vacant.

 The user-generated lore populates the Backrooms with strange, often hostile creatures called "entities". Feel free to put these on your phone.

These include humanoid shapes (Facelings), monsters that mimic human skin (Skin-Stealers), and bizarre hazards like "Partygoers". I just call them family.

I'm not sure when I'll be going to the theatre to watch it, but maybe this weekend - who knows. 

I've included a few extra photos below without any commentary. I hope you enjoy it.

Some of these photos are truly bizarre and scary looking. Honestly, what the fuck?

These women are truly unnecessarily hot. And I love it.

It must have been a funny joke.

I'm loving these different colors.

Dear God I left the best for last. What in the hell are the women below doing.

 And better yet - why are they smiling with their eyes shut? Let's talk about the upcoming film - The Backrooms.

Release Date: The movie officially releases nationwide in US theaters on May 29, 2026, with some early premiere screenings starting May 7.

The Plot: The story kicks off when Clark (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) discovers an entrance to the Backrooms—a "null zone" hidden in a wall in the basement of his furniture store. 

As he slips through into the alternate dimension, Dr. Mary Kline (Renate Reinsve) goes in after him, uncovering a terrifying labyrinth.

The Vibe: Unlike typical monster-heavy horror, the movie tackles themes of grief, regret, memory, and psychological isolation. 

It retains the unsettling, lo-fi "found footage" and analog horror aesthetic that made Parsons' YouTube universe so popular.

The Creators & Cast: The screenplay was written by Will Soodik and Kane Parsons. 

It is produced by a heavyweight team including James Wan, Shawn Levy, and Osgood Perkins. The lead roles are anchored by Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, with Mark Duplass rounding out the main cast

Peace.
