A24 Is Copyright Striking Backrooms Artwork Older Than The Movie

Like so many internet phenomena, it’s hard to pinpoint a creator for the Backrooms. The concept originated from an anonymous creepypasta on 4chan back in 2019, a liminal labyrinth that strove to capture the feeling of noclipping out of reality. It quickly took on a life of its own, with other short stories, videos, and even games cropping up out of the urban legend. One of the many to build on the myth of the Backrooms was Kane ‘Pixels’ Parsons, who at the age of 16 created a 9-minute found footage horror that blew up in popularity so much that it led to a feature film.
