A24 have released a series of promo images of Kane and the cast. Most likely these have been taken at the Enter the Backrooms experience in LA.

In 2019 an internet legend was born.
From this single image and post came a shared universe that continues to spark the imagination and inspire so many.
Whether you love the Kane Pixels Universe, the Extended Lore, the original concept or another iteration, it all began with this original post and text that started it all.
And whether the person who wrote the text was Black August or someone who we will never know, we will forever be grateful to them for bringing the Backrooms into being. Something that means so much to many of us.
As we are on the verge of the first cinematic movie … Backrooms Forever!
These images were sent to me by one of my followers from Oshkosh, Wisconsin — the city connected to the original Backrooms photo.
He claims that strange blue-taped “doorways” have begun appearing throughout the city, usually in overlooked corners, alleyways, and blank architectural spaces. According to him, local rumors have started circulating about unusual disappearances and people hearing voices of their loved ones near these marked areas.
He notes that his compass behaves strangely around these spaces, often shifting directions or spinning uncontrollably. When approaching the doorways, he describes a deep sense of loneliness, as if something grand but hollow is waiting on the other side.
Have any of these appeared in your city?

Kane’s second video diary. At the Backrooms Premiere. (posted to A24s Instagram)
With the movie coming really close to release does anyone else feel this way?
Without trying to sound like a self-help post. I’m just wondering if there’s others out there who are feeling like me.
I mean Backrooms are supposed to be about isolation and the like but sometimes not having friends who are into it can make one feel isolated in another way.
Like when I read people saying they are going with friends. I’m kinda envious of that cause I won’t be able to experience that - being excited in the lead up together, the reactions while watching, the discussing it afterwards.
I mean I have online friends into it which is awesome, but I’m specifically more meaning IRL.
Found these pics when I was browsing the editorial images sites. Haven’t seen anyone post them anywhere.
Sucks that these sites are so expensive (and Shuttetstock is the cheapest - Getty Images is worse) as these would be awesome to have for my website.

In the next part about influences behind the Backrooms, Black August looks back at cheat codes and glitches that allowed not only the resurrection of characters, but the ability to walk through walls and into areas that you weren’t meant to be. Into a space that wasn’t meant to exist. A space like the Backrooms.

Some cinemas in Australia have started their pre-bookings for Backrooms!
For any fellow Aussies out there!
I booked a couple of sessions with Cinema Nova in Melbourne which is possibly Australia’s most liminal cinema (see pics).
Other than the US, I’m not sure what other countries have their pre-sales open yet but I’m sure more will be opening soon.

The next post by Black August about his influences behind the Backrooms and hidden spaces.
In this one he looks at a screenshot from Legend of Zelda that fascinated him as a kid.

Backrooms billboards have begun appearing in the US.
This particular one was spotted on a very Backrooms type building at none other than Oshkosh, Wisconsin — the very town where the original Backrooms photo was taken.

Update on the HobbyTown plaques that Robert Mazza sells on eBay.
The wallpaper and carpet plaques are back in stock. But I’ve been in touch with Bob and he told me he is on the very last piece of wallpaper from the location. Once it is gone he will not be able to make anymore plaques.
He has a couple of other plaques now as well. They are both strictly limited to 75 pieces each. I have ordered both - cause too obsessed - and am getting #19 of to represent the year the Backrooms came into being - 2019.
- An original ceiling tile from the same location. This isn’t from the same room as the Backrooms photo but is from the Mezzanine and downstairs Foyer area that is left over from the 2003 renovations.
- Original chevron wallpaper from another furniture store called Baders Furniture that was removed by well known Backrooms community members and wallpaper officiandos Kauffman and Regularly Blue.
Also his eBay account has changed due to his previous account being connected to the old business. So he is now using his wife’s account - evarcparts - https://ebay.us/m/yU2vRI. The plaques will only be sold on this account from now on.
I knew there were a lot of Backrooms games out there. I had no idea there were THAT MANY! 😳
I was looking to see if the Backrooms movie had been given a rating classification in Australia yet (it hasn’t). But it instead told me there were over 1000 games. That’s insane!
https://www.classification.gov.au/search/title?search=Backrooms&sort\_by=search\_api\_relevance
I’m guessing some of them are demos and others have been abandoned or the like. And then there’s probably ones that are Brainrot content.
I’m not looking forward to the data entry and sorting on that when I go to set my Backrooms content directory up. 😓
