## Resource

To celebrate the release of A24’s new Backrooms movie, we wanted to release a new video supercut of our own Backroom’s episode #307, filled with everything you need to know about the lore of the creepypasta - from why it was created, to how you can end up there. Imagine being trapped inside of a strange space with yellow walls, damp carpet, and buzzing fluorescent lights - It looks like our world, but you can feel something's wrong - It’s an endless maze of liminal spaces, unsettling symbols and maybe worst of all… you’re not alone in there.
