Film Theory: Decoding the Horror of The Backrooms

Don't miss a Film Theory! ► bit.ly/1dI8VBH
It's time to re-enter The Backrooms, the scary found footage series that I have been OBSESSING over lately. Last time we covered the main story, so today I am looking to dive deeper into The Backrooms lore. What is the Monster? Is ANYTHING real or is reality a lie? That and more in today's Film Theory!

the monster's screams kinda sounds like its saying "dont go" and stuff like that, and when the monster finally reaches the cameraman, instead of knocking him down, it saves the dude from falling down into the hole and most likely to his death. It seems to be trying to help the cameraman, but is too strong and likely kills a lot of its victims, hence the scary situation. who knows, could it be a human corrupted by the bacteria, barely hanging on to life? is this a job for the master theorist himself?

I think the backrooms monster is some sort of mutated camera. It could be one of the cameras in Motion Detected because the creature seems to be attracted to motion("don't move" written on the wall in the first Backrooms video) and also records its victims' screams because the camera starts recording when it detects loud sounds, making it able to imitate humans like you see in Pitfalls.

[@hassi44]

7:00 No. Not dumb. When you are in an infinite maze, the capacity to build walls is perhaps one the most useful things you can have. By building walls, you can simplify the maze, making it far easier to navigate - particularly if you're using colored lanes and signs to indicate where you are. That means it's also easier to remember the layout of a given area. Additionally, by building rooms and closing them off with marked doors, you even further simplify the maze, because you reduce the necessary navigational area. Even further, you can close off any undesirable passages that lead to dangerous zones within the maze, making it far safer to traverse. Don't underestimate walls, MattPat. They've been a genius invention that's lasted us for thousands upon thousands of years.

Yeah this is the main criticism I have towards analogue horror, it's either mixed in with actual footage and has some semblance of reality to it(as in, it looks like it could be an actual tape at first) OR it's just a creepy and clearly made up PSA tape that tries to scare you. The reason this genre is scary is because it's blended with a lot of reality.

Theory: The description of “The Backrooms (Found Footage)” dates the video as September 23, 1996, but if you look at the movie clapboard, the dates is stated as 7/4/91. I believe September 23, 1996 was the date the footage was FOUND, when the recording was made July 4, 1991. Could be important.

This is good, good. At 16:37 I picked something out also - the evidence MatPat mentions like the random stuff about, desn't really mean it's a simulation; some of these are different levels of the backrooms, that's insufficient evidence to say the Backrooms/reality is a simulation...

Theory: Theoretically speaking, there is an infinite distance between any 2 given particles if you are small enough so if the backrooms were actually just super small with a some how seamless transition while shrinking/"falling in" that would explain the size of the bacteria, how no one ever gets seriously hurt when falling large distances, and the seemingly infinite volume of the backrooms.

[@mrreyes5004]

To be honest, we probably should've figured this out way sooner. It's been known for a while now that irl space and time are actually closely linked together (IIRC some physicists are actually starting to think that time and space may actually be part of the exact same thing instead of different ideas). This means that if the Backrooms really are disconnected from conventional space (and indeed it is), then it makes perfect sense that the flow of time is also out of wack.

[@nathanstafford8412]

[@NathanDavisVideos]

[@YikesMakesStuff]

exactly- watching this for the first time is just. "... He knew that the whole time and chose to tell us that last..?"

[@ayt3877]

not necessarily, Kane might be implying it is an invader/unnatural occupant of the backrooms, like a bacteria infecting the body.

[@noteleks_]

It’s also possible that the entity could be one of the motion detecting tripod cameras covered in the bacteria. Those only activate when they see movement, and the writing on the wall from the first video advises you not to move while the monster is near, so the possibility does make sense. The bacteria could have spread from a nearby wall onto the camera, and used it as a makeshift skeletal system to move with. The entity also has a very rigid way of moving, which could be due to the tripod’s legs being very stiff, or just animation limitations. Either way, it’s an interesting possibility.

[@vyncopz505]

I really like your theory

[@noteleks_]

It is interesting that the creatures are so violent from an evolutionary perspective.

Are they targeted by something else?

[@KickenItOldSchool]

Bacteria doesn't think like a fully sized mammal

[@tftc97]

i think it's just bacteria going crazy

[@HumanoidG0rilla]

About the monster, I have my personal theory on what it is. It most likely is bacteria but I also think it is more. This cluster of bacteria seems to have some sort of exoskeleton. During the brief moments we see it it maintains a basic shape, a long narrow design that mimics a human. It has legs, arms, and a face but a weird ejection on the side. With that being said I would like to direct your attention to something else. In the very first video there was a warning right before the monster was fully shown. It said “Don’t move, stay still.” Strange that it says that, shouldn’t you be running away from it? What could possibly be the reason? There’s only one thing we’ve found that in the backrooms that could detect motion, the cameras. You see, during the motions detected video, one of the cameras had a “microphone failure” and shortly after that it shows the creepy “motion detected” scene. My guess is that this bacteria doesn’t just walk around as a culture, it “infected” one of the cameras and used this body as a way to move around. It also has a very similar design to it, two arms and one leg (the same amount of limbs on the camera stands), along with a weird protruding stick (which is the stick used to adjust stands from what I know), and the final thing being it’s head (it’s the camera).

[@Prestonian1]

That actually really makes since, and would explain its weird design

[@rokeYouuer]

Just from it's design, I thought it was a creepy camera on a tripod.

[@strawberrypencl]

Bro I actually love this theory

[@georgemurdock7670]

Pretty sure motion cameras can’t differentiate if something moves in front of them or you move them in front of something. So if its a camera wich moves on his own, how could it know if you move or don’t move? Either way it sees movement. That this monster looks human even tho its most likely not can be explained with converged evolution. Maybe its just a wolf or smth but glitched. Just look at footage of fallout 76 after it got released, when the backroom is simulated there could be way worse glitches.

[@geekygamergirl7259]

I honestly had that thought the moment we were introduced to the cameras. I mean MatPat even compared the basic structure of the monster to a tripod the very first time he saw it. I even thought to myself in the motion detected video before they decided the shape was legs "Hey. That reminds me of the 'arms' when school textbooks talk about bacteria and cells!"

I guess what I immediately thought of when I saw the Backrooms was the story of "The Yellow Wallpaper" which was written by a British author about a woman who had gone crazy while being exposed to such a hideous yellow wallpaper. As she continued to stare and observe it, she soon became obsessed with it, even hallucinating a woman trying to break free from the interior of the design. This can kind of reflect into the Backrooms, where the main character is trying to find a way out of this yellow wallpaper.

If this theory is actually proven correct, then wouldn't that mean that the monster is a computer virus or a piece of malware?

[@TheEpicGalaxy21]

Maybe, though he's just assuming that the monster is an evolved bacteria from our simulation, so it's less of a computer virus or malware and more of a crazy bugged out enemy.

[@ShadowPhoenix82]

No, it being correct doesn't change the fact that biological matter is entering. It doesn't suddenly mean they are digital. It's just as likely to prove a corporeal construct in a dimension beholden to new laws of physics. But yes, it could also just mean the whole world is a digital game and the backrooms is storing unused assets

[@salihm4531]

I'd think that, following the theory above, it'd make more sense to me if the entities were actually like some form of firewall. He stated that reality itself was a simulation and the backrooms were merely storage for the unused parts of the simulation, and if that's the case, it also means that something created the simulation, and wouldn't want to leave the 'construction site', IE the place where all assets of the simulation are stored, unprotected. And so they created a firewall to protect the storage 'file' from malware, or unwanted access from humans, rather. Most likely the creator(s) of the simulation would be aware of the glitches, also, so its not all that surprising that they'd know to protect the assets from corruption from the humans, who themselves would technically be an asset stored away somewhere in the backrooms. Another take could be that the creatures are what's left of humans who got trapped there. Having an asset--humans would technically be an asset stored somewhere in the backrooms--explore the place where assets are stored, would probably cause some form of corruption to the data. Perhaps the entities within the back rooms are humans who did something within them that caused their data to be corrupted, thus turning them into the creatures.

[@peppermint13me]

Nah... I think that's taking the simulation theory too far, I think it's more like what the series already suggested. It's a mutated strain of bacteria that took on a more animal like form.

[@KamenDesantis]

What about an AI, like the ones we train to play mario brothers and other video games? Those are evolving programs that change their routine, literally changing the shape and structure of their code, based on what they encounter in the simulation. If such an evolving system had a physical presence inside the simulation, how might it be rendered? And how might it adjust itself, how might it be shaped, when encountering humans?

[@gup-gup2346]

I think the bacteria-string monster that we see in “motion detected” later took control of one of those cameras, forming into the monster we know from “Backrooms found footage.” I think this because the drawings on the wall say “don’t move” And “stay still.” The monster itself you can also presumably hear say “Stop” and “Don’t move.” I think the reason being is because it detects your motion, which leads it to you. This would also explain how it was able to mimic the explorers voice in “pit falls” and why it looks like a tripod/camera. Edit: I remember watching that Simpson episode maybe a week ago and thinking “did he just no-clip through the wall into the backrooms?”

The Async worker clipped through time, not space. The threshold has changed into the observation room seen in other videos that was constructed later. That's why his keycard worked, but also why he triggered an alarm since his arrival was not anticipated. The motion sensors were probably installed after his late arrival. The weird date could hint at the anomalous properties the backroom has on the passage of time.

Actually Mat, since you spoke of the timeline here, I noticed something intresting. In the informational video where the 4th Async employee goes missing, at the end of the video he stumbles across that weird room where the alarm goes off. And remember how at the start of the Motion detected video Async has started building a room inside the Backrooms? Those 2 rooms look VERY similar, in fact I believe it is the same room if you look close enough at the blueprints and details, *which indicates timetravel is at play here* The employee got lost and time travelled, and arrived back when this room had been completed. This is even more confirmed by the date on the first video, where the guys started recording in 1991, yet the description says 1996. Kane fell into the backrooms in 1991 and then at some point time traveled to a point where it was 1996

the new episode "pitfalls" is extremely interesting with the lore. The episode is dated 5/6/1990, and as seen at the beginning the structure the team was building is finished. What's interesting though is that this room is clearly the same room seen at the end of "informational video", which is dated 2/29/1990, when no such room existed. On top of that the names of George and Marvin(Marvin being the one to fall down the hole in "pitfalls") appear in both episodes as the group of three we see disappear in "informational video" and the main group in "pitfalls". This means that the one to disappear was our camera holder in "informational video" and he must've time traveled in some aspect.

[@the_monstah6378]

I’m willing to bet that the monster we see in the backrooms is the product/creation of mankind itself. The fandom loves to refer to the monster as the “ Tripod Creature “. My thought here is that the monster is the spawn of some type of bacteria accidentally introduced to the backrooms by Async. My theory is that enough of this bacteria clumped together into one of those Voltron creatures and then attached itself to one of the camera tripods that the Async employees set up. This would allow the bacteria creature to move and capture things quicker instead of being some slow and gelatinous blob.

“The monster”? Are you talking about Kane’s? Because there’s like 1000+ entities in the backrooms

[@glitchxmars7415]

My favorite theory about the backrooms by far has to be the one where someone suggested that we accidentally created the backrooms but don’t have control over them. The concept is that scientists took a room and scanned it, and then had computers generate hallways and storage areas; this would explain the way the backrooms have an ai-generated vibe, how things won’t connect properly, and if they were created under the control of computers, then it could make sense that they would involve glitching and other digital issues. I think that the backrooms is a real space, but since the rules for how that space works was laid out by computers, we get glitching and no-clipping anyway. The other terrifying aspect that was suggested was that if human beings scanned a room for computers, that its highly unlikely that the room would be completely sterile… meaning there would probably be bacteria. The bacteria in this room, when replicated (and then possibly corrupted or mutated) in the backrooms, could lead to the bacteria monster we see in the first upload

These differences being that they look different (one looks vaguely humanoid(beginning), the other looks more like a tripod appearently(end)), they sound different (one has loud footsteps(end), while the other doesn't even make a sound while moving(beginning)), and they move different(one seems to move like a limping person(beginning), while the other moves very, very strangely(end)) side note: if you look closely both, you can notice subtle differences, particularly in the "spine" region all of these differences add up so I thinks its safe to conclude that these two monsters are different (though probably related) monsters

From what I read (Though I was limited to the websites my school allows, so I'm sure this might not be right), the first person to believe that the Earth was hollow was the man who founded Halley's comet, Edmond Halley. He came up with the idea because he had gathered information from something that involved the magnetic pole of our planet and saw how the differed from one place to another. So, he came up with this Russian-doll nesting idea about our Earth and how, beneath our crust, there is another layer of our planet with space in-between, sustainable for human life, and under that crust was another crust with the same aspects and so on. Some people even took that idea and added entrance points at the poles, though, I couldn't find anything about those **Completed** expeditions to find those entrances. So yeah.

I like the concept of video game storage room. Although, anyone remembers the old far lands in minecraft? Before it got patched? You would reach the edge of the world where random structures would lay endlessly in front of you. Being a procedural generated world it doesn't really have an end, thus the similarity with the endless backroom hallways. Some places almost have a fractal flavour to them. The no clipping also happened in the far lands since memory allocation for that area was very dodgy. By design if we're taking a matrix approach to the backrooms, then we would have some edge of the simulation where memory usage isn't stable enough to keep the complexity of the normal world. Because of that we have the repeating rooms with dodgy physics. Maybe they were always there and Async just found a way to make them closer with their portal tech. Effectively teleporting the person seamlessly to the other location, (I would say the same happens with noclip too). There's a video where this can be achieved (and a game too obviously) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXalYmSGhp54pZo As for the monster, justified by it's appearance being only recent in the last video chronologically, could have been brought in by the first missing people, then it evolved into this strand like creature. Could be interesting to see a full biology study of it.

@@dl5836 the thing that threw me off the most is I swear I saw the kid “clipping” through the floor video a few years ago but apparently it was only a few months.

Thats exactly what I was thinking

Just recently watched an old video of someone finding « the back rooms » on google earth but it’s from like 2015 or so … very weird

[@ad43150]

@@PaulineDuhadinLife can u link the video i’m intrigued now 😫😫

[@squirtle_10]

I think the monsters only started appearing more frequently after they realized people were coming through, under normal circumstances the monsters were too far apart to be an issue, but now they roam the areas where people come into the Backrooms in more concentrated groups.

[@crangejo]

Well they're not really "in groups", and on top of that, the monster, or monsters, shift forward and backwards on time. So it's not like there's a certain point in time where people started to pop up. For all we know, you could be sent before the monster existed, or even be sent to a new oldest visit

Anyone else notice how each of the found footage videos, all taken from first person POV, where the character was in the Backrooms for a prolonged period of time, hazmat suit or not, all of them began to cough which could be support for the bacteria, more importantly the bacteria using human bodies or monsters being the mix of bacteria and human bodies, it appears to be infecting them.

that pen meme was so dank I literally screenshotted, cropped, and even emailed it to myself to treasure it forever on my other devices

15 years old and he already has made videos of this quality for us. I think he's definitely got a future in this line of work.

Speaking of lore.. you should check out The Dark Crystal. It would be interesting to see your theories on that.
