7. Kane Pixels- The Backrooms (Found Footage)
The Backrooms series has been ongoing throughout 2022, featuring enough creepy pasta to fill out a 15-minute lunch break. It’s based on an old online myth about accidentally clipping through reality into a nightmare version of an old motel, full of peeling wallpaper and moist, yellowed carpet. The video creators take that idea and run with it, turning the experience into a kind of found footage film ala The Blair Witch Project.
The first video has been viewed over 42 million times, but since January there are 15 videos in the series that seems to be pushing past its internet mystery roots and is trying to create its own kind of mythology.
