There is a hotel room hallway in the MGM Grand Casino in Las Vegas, its so long that you cant even see the back. 2 people I worked with during a 1 week event was coming in unusually late everyday and when questioned , they complained that their room was booked incredibly far from anything. No one believed them because they had never been to that area in the Casino neither have I in my years of going there for work. So after work towards the end of the week Me and 2 other people walked with them to their room . It went from uncontrollable laughs at why is this that long (It felt like we walked to the Motel 6 way down the road) to scary creepy vibes because at a certain point the Rug design thats in the whole casino (Hotel room area) changes to this very weird design also the wallpaper. Which clearly did not even match .The doors to these rooms were unusually tall compared to the rest of the hotels rooms. The room itself was very creepy and had a giant window behind the bed but there was no view outside just darkness because there is a wall on the other side. The bed felt like concrete. The others workers room was an additional 4min walk from the first workers room and that was just as creepy as the first room. I honestly cant imagine walking back there at night by myself after a days of work .

Holy shit you're right you can't even see the other side. At one end, there's simple lights on the walls which bounce off the yellow wallpaper and rug to fill the room with light, but then about halfway through you cross over this threshold, and suddenly everything changes. The walls are a drab gray color with no texture, they're completely smooth and even except for the indentations for the doorway, there's none of the fancy white trim, marble, mirrors, and indentations from the start. The doors go from dark mahogany with shiny brass doorknobs to gray painted steel doors, with nothing but a black keycard reader and a levered doorknob. The number plates on the walls used to be engraved brass, decorated with fancy flourishes, and they turn into basic white plates with black numbers stuck on them. The lights no longer fill the halls with light, there are small spotlights placed almost at random on the ceiling that shine irregularly onto the ground to make a polka-dot pattern, it casts weird shadows on the walls and doors. The rug and ceiling is the same gray color as the walls, with only a few faint stripy lines running through for texture, nothing like the other carpets, that look almost like a multi-colored backgammon board. Fuuuuck that, something straight out of a creepypasta.

[@OfficeHanchoBoxing]

@@Corzappy Glad someone from the comments saw what I saw . That is one spooky walk. Just to put out where they had to walk after they finally made it to the elevator . They had to go to the convention hall which is close to the escalade that leads to the Grand Garden arena. From my room which is located right near the MGM main lobby to that area is a 5-8min walk maybe longer depending on foot traffic and those not knowing the shortcuts. The 2 workers rooms entrance was on the opposite side far from the main lobby towards the Sports Books. Tbh by going outside I honestly don't know where that area will be located, because there is a giant private mansion to VIPs just a small walk in what would be in the direction where the walk takes place inside. It's almost like it goes underground. Even the pitch of the ambiance sounds funky in that area. I don't wanna go there again.

What made the original back rooms post so creepy was how simple it was. The point was your brain fills in the gaps that was not supposed to be explained. The people writing the lore seem to want the back rooms to be the new SCP.

[@Scornfull]

True it's incredibly shoehorned in for no other purpose than having lore for lore sake

[@zr5640]

Think it’s a result of SCP being pozzed now, the community is attaching to it to try to make something theirs again

[@disturbedfan0717]

I have to agree with you. The more grandiose and video game-like the lore got, the more I lost the wonder I had for the back rooms going into it. I find the originally simple and mundane concept of being stranded alone in an endless void of dingy, yellow walled, and carpeted rooms, not knowing what could be lurking around the corners to be far more effective and terrifying than fully fleshing out the world as some actual video game concept.

[@cawashka]

Having actual monsters in liminal spaces is lame. This new kind of backroom content is boring to me. I think it’s just a side effect of things going mainstream.

I agree with the lore getting too deep on the wiki's but personally I am really enjoying kane parson's take on the backrooms lore with his newest videos. That the backrooms were simply created for infinite storage space for the government and that the government pushed it too far and now they have to explore the backrooms because people are disappearing and the backrooms are actively changing.

the lore is $h*t... takes away the mystery... it's just another SCP-like organisation

[@konstantink07]

They didn't create the backrooms, they found them during an experiment. Wether the experiment was successful/intended to turn out like this is unknown

[@JustHANO]

My favorite set of rules for for clipping into the backrooms was something like: there's a 1 in a million chance that when two molecules touch, one will accidentally go through another before being pushed back into the space it should be at. If you get unlucky enough, this can occur enough times in a row to clip you out of bounds where the you will be placed into the backrooms.

[@conti_tho]

Besides the original concept for backrooms in 4chan, I gotta say that this was the best interpretation of it. There weren't a thousand levels, just the classics. There wasn't colonies, survivor group bullshit that took away the core of the backrooms (the existential dread that YOU are alone in this place). This was the backrooms that felt the most eerie and real.

[@mattabshier2494]

As terrifying a concept as the Backrooms is, some of the deeper levels, whether official or not, become so over the top that they become parodies of themselves; a monster around nearly every corner, and an item in every other room that serves as an entryway to some other level. For me, less is more when it comes to this stuff; the thought of thousands of entities wandering around Level 0 is far less scary to me than the thought of just 1or 2 lurking about somewhere within the seemingly endless expanse and not knowing if I'd ever actually come across it.

[@derp9193]

I agree. I think the idea of roaming around The Backrooms completely alone, and then coming across a single entity out of nowhere is terrifying. You are so used to seeing nothing every time you turn a corner and them all of a sudden, boom, there's a creature. When you throw in all types of demons and gouls, it just becomes over the top and kinda cheesy. The feeling of isolation is what makes the concept so creepy, and adding all types of creatures makes the threat level higher, but in return it ruins the whole atmosphere. They might as well just start adding vampires and zombies at this point. It's become a cliche, and as far as I'm concerned, it's not official to the lore of The Backrooms.

[@InfernoYoshi]

I agree I liked the concept better when they only came up with 3 levels 0-2 and there only being like 6 monsters

[@lisan_al_gaibb]

I think the OG theme of the Backrooms being endless corridors with a few variations/levels and some monsters was more scary and original.With it becoming more popular with the years and people wanting to add on more "lore", it's getting kinda mid & corny. Like right now it's starting to become a bad copy of SCP (and i say bad cuz some of the rooms and monsters they created are extremely stupid imo) like there's a fuckin cat named Samantha and a parrot named Jerry that asks for almond water, and that's their only purpose, it's so fuckin dumb lmao

[@pikminologueraisin2139]

agreed man

[@faizalf119]

Yeah, the original thing was born from "that" site and the idea is being lonely in bland endless rooms. Adding monsters cheapen the experience so much. Kids think things only scary when there's monsters in it

[@DawnOfTheOzz]

Backrooms remind me of that story No End House. You're trapped in a place that you don't know how to escape, you've lost all spacial awareness and time and even when you think you've escaped, you're hit that existential dread that you may still be trapped and you don't even know. And, much like backrooms, it too got ruined by explaining too much... and by that Channel Zero TV show.

[@volodesi0000]

[@ForestWizardLookingForPotion]

Hot take: i honestly think the backrooms was better when it was just the one level that would be sprawling for eternity, with the risk of starvation being the more likely thing to kill you. all the super in depth lore a bunch of other people have made beyond the first x post really just take away the mystery and fear of the unknown imo

[@anitaremenarova6662]

Nah, it having infinite levels is also scary. Just enough stimulation to make you feel like you're making progress while still being endlessly stuck and losing hope.

[@liviwaslost]

It would be better if the monsters were just hallucinations.

[@apuffin9545]

Agree. Although I do find some of the other liminal spaces people create interesting. Adding so much lore to explain exactly what the backrooms are and what's going on and all the specific monsters in there ruins the entire premise. In the original backrooms post, it only implied that there MIGHT be something in the backrooms, which to me is far more interesting than saying yeah there's actually a bunch of monsters in the backrooms and here and there first and last names and what they do on the weekend. No monster will ever be as scary as what your mind conjures up when you get the feeling you're not alone.

[@liviwaslost]

@@apuffin9545 if they didn’t explain I would just think it was caused by the lack of other people to socialize with. Plus, maybe starvation and dehydration would make it worse.

[@sketchywolff6365]

I miss the ambiguity of the backrooms. In my opinion, the wiki kinda made it a lot less scary. It was the mystery that really got me into the whole thing, but I feel like that was all stripped away after these countless entities and levels were introduced…

[@TheKnewGreg]

At this point the wiki just kind of makes it “Poor man’s SCP”, I prefer the interpretation from Kane. In fact, while I generally don’t like the extended setup/lore, I actually like the way this series sets it up, with it being some sort of experiment, and the way they travel into it in hazmat suits leaving a trail to get back makes it feel a lot more real and creepy

Yep. I say simply stick with the first few levels that are already established/recognizable and let creators add their own spin to the rest of the backrooms.

It was Saturday evening but the whole building of this garage was empty, no one was there but I expected someone to be there, because there will always be people in a city walking around on Saturday evenings. It really was a giant building with multiple walkways, stairs, windows and big hallways and there was nobody in this whole building and it was really quiet. I took photos back then and left the building by car and drove through streets full of people, so there were definitely people in this city on that day.

This entire pasta has been unlocking memories for me. When I was young I had lots of experience with strange dreams and even waking up with sleep paralysis. I have one very lucid memory of a dream where I was walking through an outdoor swapmeet... the lanes were endless into the horizon to silent hill fog, however there was multiples lanes separated by a very low chain link fence and bins of goods for sale. (No people selling them, no noise or birds, just the wind) however I had a close family friend like a grandmother to me, known for taking me to the swap meets on weekends was our thing I looked forward to. She was in my dream and I could hear her jewelry and cowbells she was known for always carrying. She believed in witchy stuff like crystals and frequencies. I remember she was guiding me telling me to stay close. While she was busy I took an opportunity and climbed the opposite fence to go grab this red firetruck toy that stood out like a sore thumb.. "I'll just grab it and climb back over" i could hear her calling to me but as soon as I turned to look over the fence, about to hurry back.. the sound of her bells disappeared and I realized I was alone. I remembered my experience and closed my eyes, counted to 10.. nothing. Tried two more times and I woke up with sleep paralysis.. repeat counting and it was like i had to wake up twice and the first time was not actually 'my own bed' .... it felt wrong and out of place until I woke up the second time. I went and woke up my parents to make sure I was here. They've told me some wild stories that I barely remember of stuff when I was a kid. I'll have to dig and see if there's a swap meet level, I'd poop my pants haha.

Muta hit the nail on the head when he said the backrooms doesnt need a shit tonne of lore. One of the cringiest parts I find when it comes to creepypasta is when they have a fucking awesome premise (weird creatures, strange anomalies, awesome surreal experiences etc) and then they add some investigatory character nobody really gives a shit about, or creates some fictional organisation bent on documenting and catergorising everything to do with the creepy thing like theyre trying to complete the fucking pokedex. Creators always take it too far and either create some cult that worships the creepy thing, or some 3 letter organisation funded by the government that wants to capture/ use the thing. They just can’t help themselves. I don’t know if they’re wanting to make merch or try and make it go viral or what not, but it spoils it.

its what I call the reddit effect, every time one of these works makes it to reddit they make up a whole bunch of low quality "lore" and expand it to the point where its nothing but self inserts and anime-esque Mary sues. Just look at the Virgin vs. Chad memes from like 2016, once it made it to reddit they added like 50 more variant characters for no reason. Even SCP went down hill once it went "public" and everyone started adding everything any anything they could without regards to lore or aesthetic.

I think just the one room would be much creepier, no deeper lore. Also, hearing monsters far away in echoing halls would be much creepier. As if you can usually hear one every now and than but they sound far enough that you can avoid and change course. In a way you are always safe from encountering them, but they are always in your mind which gives off this fear of unknown vibe. You would just wonder around aimlessly hearing monsters in the outer edge of the distance you can hear, but never really confronting them. Than you just eventually starve or fall asleep hoping a creature doesn't stumble upon you during your time of rest.

That was a very well done video, especially for being 16 years old. Though does anyone else get the feeling that the Backrooms levels are trying way too hard to be like SCP? These spaces are meant to be nearly impossible escape, hinting at an astronomically low survival rate, but it’s meticulously documented to the point of parody. The amount of detail and documentation and lore people keep putting into it is in turn making the concept less and less scary by taking away the mystique and unknown of it.

I went to Las Vegas with my family for a weekend back when I was 12. My sister and I used to always ride the elevators up and down, for the fun of it, whenever we stayed in a hotel. It happened so long ago I don’t remember the name of the hotel/casino. We pushed every single button, riding the elevators up and down until we eventually came to a stop on a floor that had 0 lights on. It was literally like something out of the Twilight Zone, as we looked around there were hallways to the left and right with doors to old rooms lining them up and down. Straight ahead was an old padded push door with a circle glass window on the upper half of it, I left the elevator and peaked into the room to see an old ballroom with a glass-dome roof that had the moonlight pouring in through it. All the furniture was covered with a white cloth, chairs and tables and an old bar. It was at that point we ran back to the elevator cause we were scared it would close on us and we’d be trapped, it didn’t close until I held the “close door” button and we went back to main lobby. I remember asking an employee who seemed confused but after I told them about the ballroom , they simply replied “we don’t use that floor anymore”. Thought it was all a dream but I talked to my sister about it when I was in Texas at a hotel that was over 100 years old, and she remembered the story too. I decided not to ride the elevators on that trip and I haven’t ever since that time in Vegas. The backrooms reminded me of that kind of feeling I had.

I remember this creepypasta. I dunno about it having entities and levels and a freaking society you can join. It seems to take away those layers that made it so uncomfortable and horrifying. The mystery of how you got there & the fear/shock of it happening out of nowhere. The mystery and weirdness of where you're at conflicting with the familiarity of something humanmade. The silence. The paranoia that creeps upon you making you think something is there, but you can't say for sure if it's all in your mind or not. The disquiet that slowly takes over you, always wandering, hoping for someone, an exit. Everything looks the same, smells the same, sounds _the same._ Nothing but you, the Backroom and your mind. Are you making progress? What happens if you stop and rest? Are you able to die? Or are you forced to wander forever? Which one is worse? What was that?! But now you got an actual creature after you. So you now know you have an exit, even if it's death. You got more than silence even if it's stress inducing. But now you got levels. So now you get a change of scenery allowing your mind a rest of the sameness. Allowing you to think you can get out. Why wouldn't you be able to? But now you can meet others. So you're no longer alone, you can enjoy the very thing the human mind needs to survive. You can rest. You can _live._ All the additions have made Backrooms another cliche apocalypse setting that people seem so enamored with. And that's not horrifying or uncomfortable or insanity inducing. It's scary, at best; boring, at worst.

This is the best fan creation of the Backrooms I’ve ever seen. The only complaint I have is that Level 0 is said to have absolutely no hostile entities inside of it. That level purely exists just to build up tension and anxiety and get across the point that you are lost, but don’t lose sanity.
