Ever get a Feeling You just Can’t shake No Matter How hard May Try?! Well I experienced one of Moments Today pertaining to Monday’s Post on The Backrooms, and it just Lingered at the back of My Brain all goddamn Day Long. I had this Feeling that Something was Missing and I was Right. I stated in Monday’s Post that All the Episode of The Backrooms were Up to Date and I have to Admit I was Wrong. I dragged My Ass a bit Too Long on Doing a Backrooms Post and I missed Two New Installments which are:

The Backrooms – Autopsy Report Uploaded February 23, 2022 and the Description is Only this Date: 02/05/1990
Interesting Observation: The Dates in the Videos Description are Going Backwards which is Contrary to Their Upload Dates.
If You Haven’t Checked Out Monday’s Post THE BACKROOMS I suggest You do so Now or None of this will make any fucking Sense (That and You’re just Cheating Yourself Honestly).
Welcome to Today’s FYB Post featuring the Evolution of THE BACK ROOMS from Humble Beginnings to the Internet Sensation it Became. The Mystery Where and What The Backrooms Are and What They Mean has been a Point of Contention from Day One (and Still is to this Today). The Backrooms Operates using common Psychological Horror Themes such as Being Isolated, Fear of the Unknown, Trapped without Viable Escape, Fear of the Dark, and Being Watched while Being Hunted are Prime Examples. So without Further Delay let’s Jump into the Nightmarish Horrorscape known Simple as THE BACKROOMS!!
The Origin of The Backrooms:
In May 2019 a Strangle Unnerving Picture was Posted on 4Chan and immediately garnered a Great Deal of Attention. The Picture was of a Multi-Roomed Interior with Sickly Yellow Wallpaper (with a tinge of Underlying Green) and a Cheap Generic Brown Carpet like the kind You’d find in an Office Building. Whoever took the Picture was standing in One Room while Taking the Picture through an Open Doorway into an Empty Identical Room, and You can See a Third Room also Identical room Branching Off to the Left.
There was a Grim Description that Accompanied the Photo: “If you’re not careful and you no clip out of reality in the wrong areas, you’ll end up in the Backrooms, where it’s nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in.”
It is believed by Most that The Backrooms has a Total of 3 Levels: Level 0, Level 1, and Level 2.
LEVEL 0:
Level 0 is a Labyrinth of the Aforementioned Monotone Yellow wallpapered Rooms, the Moldy Stench of the Moist Carpet, and Loud Buzzing Hum of the Overhead Florescent Lights.
All Rooms Appear to be Identical, but if You can Stay Focused instead of Panicking and going Utterly Insane there are a Few Minor Changes along the Way so You have to be Vigilant.
There are Humanoid Creatures (Referred to as Hounds) Who look like Disfigured People Roaming the Maze Walking on All Fours.
The Hounds Admit a Low Rumble Sound which is One of a Very Few Indicators that They are Present/Near By.
The Hounds are to be Considered VERY DANGEROUS so Avoiding them is in Your Best Interest, But if You run into a Hound DO NOT LOOK AT IT and Slowly Back Away to a Safe Distance before making a Run for It.
No One is Sure How You get from Level 0 to Level 1 there are rumored to be No Clipped Walls that have the Potential to Send You back to Reality or Plunge You Even Deeper into the Hell of the Backrooms, or They could just Send You back to the Beginning where You’d have to Start All Over Again.
LEVEL 1:
Level 1 is More Dangerous than Level 0.
The Walls and Floor of Level 1 are made of Concrete as Apposed to the Nauseating Yellow Wallpaper and Repulsive Moist Carpet.
The Sounds of Level 1 are Also Different. In Level 1 in Addition of the Intensified Buzz of the Florescent Lights, the Continuous Drone of Machinery, and Creaking Sounds Coming from Unseen Rooms.
The Lights on Level 1 Flicker and Shut Off periodically Leaving You in Pitch Blackness and That’s When You’re in the Greatest of Dangers.
When the Lights Go Out and Your plunged into Darkness is when the Creatures of Level 1 come. The Creatures make a Disturbingly Distorted Screaming Sound and are Invisible as They are Cloaked in the Darkness. If Encountered in Spite of the Blackness DO NOT LOOK AT OR IN THE DIRECTION OF THE CREATURE, and again Slowly Back away from the Direction of the Distorted Screams of the Creature.
Once Agin No One is sure How You get from Level 0 to Level 1, but Most adhere to the No Clipped Theory.
Level 2:
Level 2 is considered by Most to be the Final Level of the Backrooms.
The Walls Change, and the Hallways Narrow to the Point of being Claustrophobic.
The Florescent Lights have been Significantly Amplified with a almost Deafening Buzz and the Heat coming from the Lights Raises the Temperature of Level 2 to Over 100 Degrees Fahrenheit.
The Halls seem to Mimic Service Tunnels as Pipes and Various Machinery Lines the Walls.
The Creatures that Dwell in Level 2 are Hostile, Aggressive, and Dangerous of All. The Only way to Escape one of these Creatures if You encounter it is to Run as Fast as You Possibly can in the Opposite Direction of the Creature and DON’T EVER LOOK BACK.
Escape from Level 2 is Nearly Impossible as there No Viable Exit Points.
Extremely Few People have Claimed to have Survived the Backrooms by 1) Accepting the Situation 2) Satying Cool, Calm, and Collected 3) Imagined the Backrooms were Their Home.
If You can’t do the Above or it Doesn’t Work for Some Reason YOU’RE FUCKED AND CONDEMNED TO THE CONFINES OF THE BACKROOMS FOR ETERNITY.
Theories, Speculation, and Hypothesis:
Most People Believe there 3 Levels (0 through 2) that make up The Backrooms. Some People Believe that The Backrooms Consist of 100 or More Individual Levels. A Few People Believe that there Aren’t Any Levels, but that The Backrooms is One Continuous Level.
Some Believe The Backrooms is a Metaphor for the Desolation of the Modern Work Environment (Office Building, Cubicles, Shitty Florescent Soul Sucking lights, and Drably Depressing Surroundings. All culminating in a Feeling of Utter Alienation.
There is a Theory that The Backrooms is a Never Ending Coma known as “Pre Death” which is a State of Eternal Dreaming.
There is a Belief that The Back Rooms are Purgatory and if You can manage to Escape You send to Heaven, You are Doomed to Wonder The Backrooms for Eternity, or The Creatures that Inhabit The Backrooms are Demons that if They catch You will Drag You into the Pits of Hell.
A Theory pertaining to Discovering How to Travel from one Level of The Backrooms to Another. Some think to get from Level 0 to Level 1 that You stumble upon a Door, Hallway, or Even an Elevator that will take You to the Next Level. Others Think that after 4 Days of Wondering in Level 1 that the Scenery Changes when the Flickering Lights Go Out, and when They come back on They Reveal the Level Change to Level 2.
Theories, Speculation, and Hypothesis on How DO You End Up/ Access The Backrooms:
Some Say The Backrooms can be Accessed through People’s Dreams or Visions. For this Reason Many People Claim to Recognize The Backrooms from the Original Photo, and Some Reported Feeling some sort of Nostalgic Fear when They look at the Picture.
There is a School of Thought that the way to access The Backrooms is Particularly Tricky and Requires a Great Deal of Luck. They believe the way to get to The Backrooms is by Utilizing Actual Glitches in Reality. Just like in Video Games These People Believe that on Occassion Objects from Our Reality will “No Clip”.
“No Clip”/”No Clipped is When part of the Video Game Map becomes “No Clipped” and if You bump into it You’ll Pass Right Through It and More Than Likely Fall Off the Map Entirely. Once a Player has encountered a “No Clipped” Object or Area the Player is Stuck still Inside the Game, BUT in an Endless Void Beneath the Game’s Map.
Some People think Some Objects in Our World are Not “No Clipped” to Begin with, Yet They can become “No Clipped” from Reality. If You have a Keen Eye You can Spot and Avoid Them. Some Examples Include A Wall that Appears Darker then the Others Around It, Or You may find a Door that You’re Positive there is Nothing on the Other Side.
Are The Backrooms Real: The Truth
The Backrooms is a Creepypasta inspired by a Comment on a Picture of an “Unsettling Room” on 4Chan’s/x/board. The Comment inspired an Expanded Version of the Creepypasta as well as YouTube Videos on the Topic.
The Backrooms Creepypasta was made into a Short Horror Film and a Horror Series by 16 Year Old American Director, Visual Effects Artist, and Youtuber Kane Pixels ).
The Short Horror Movie The Backrooms by Kane Pixels was Uploaded to Youtube on January 7th 2022. The Basic Plot is while Filming a Camera Man Slips Through a Hole in Reality and Ends Up Trapped in The Backrooms.
The Horror Series The Backrooms also by Kane Pixels was First Uploaded to Youtube on January 7th, 2022 and Then the Rest of the Series was Posted over the Course of the Last Month.
The Backroom Series by Kane Pixels is Located Below in Chronological Order and in its Entirety thus Far.
“My name is unimportant. I am an artist. I never will be caught, but what I have done here will live forever.
For several months now I have been uploading videos of my human pet. His name is Eric. He is being held against his will. That is all you need to know about him for now.
Eric would very much like to leave his prison cell and go home to his family, but that is not up to me. It is up to you. You will decide whether Eric gets to see his family again. You will decide whether Eric lives or dies.
This is MY masterpiece, and you will play by MY rules.
Codemaster
p.s. Art is a mystery to be unraveled.”
The Human Petis/was an Interactive Psychological Horror Project that’s far from the Bland, Mundane, and Asinine Fair One Finds littering the Internet Nowadays. It is a Series of Disturbing Videos, Blog Posts, Vlogs, and Websites many of which contained Encoded Messages (One such Hidden Message from a Innocuous Blog Post States”Dig Too Deep and You might Not like What You Find….”)
Now its important to mention that while The Human Pet Webseries came to be in the Early Wild West Days of YouTube before Youtube had come into its own. While there were No Rules, Regulations, Terms of Service, or Community Guidelines People still could and Would Report Videos They found Troubling, and They reported these Videos A LOT. This created several ongoing Problems for the Still Unknown Creator(s) of the Series. This meant Youtube Took the Some of the Series Videos Down, and They Even Shut Down the Original Human Pet Channel. The Human Pet essentially became the Blair Witch Project because the Webseries as it was Shot so Realistically People Actually Thought it was in fact Real. Before You roll Your Eyes You have to Remember the Series started in 2006. At that Point this kind of Artistic Project hadn’t been done before. It was a Brand New Artistic Medium provided by the Inception of Youtube.
The Series Showcased a Young Man named Eric Taylor being Held Hostage against Hs Will in a Room with Nothing but a Mattress. His Captor, The Codemaster (aka The Man in the Mask, aka Sam Deercot an Anagram formed from Codemaster), gave the Audience the Ability to Help Eric Survive through picking which Food He will Eat to How to Filter Contaminated Pond Water He is Given to Drink. Later Videos were Uploads of Eric’s own Personal Vlogs, Detailing some of His Actions that lead to His Capture. In Addition to the Creepy Codemaster’s Channel Eric’s Father and Sister started a Channel Dedicated to Finding Eric. They Uploaded Several Videos with Info pertaining to Eric and Pleas for Help from the Public.
The Film Making is Often Stark- a Locked off Shot-but the Threat of Violence from The Codemaster (Also Referred to as The Man in the Mask) makes the Series Truly Riveting. In Other Videos The Codemaster makes Strange Animations-Offering a Glimpse into the Mind of the Deranged Villain. In other Videos He is Cruelly Playful seeming Utterly Delighted by the Suffering He is Causing All involved. In the Final Video “THIS VIDEO TAKES YOU TO HELL” the Viewers learn some of The Code Master’s Backstory, and How He became a Deranged Maniac.
Themes Found Within The Human Pet:
Abusive Parents: In “This Video Will Take You To Hell”, We learn about a Child Whose Parents kept them Locked in a Room with a Mattress, a Broken TV, a Litter Box, and Pet Food Bowls. This Child was The Codemaster and more than Likely Shaped His Psychotic Hobbies.
Alcoholic Parent: Eric’s Sister describes Their Mother as having Succumbed to Drinking due to Her Husbands Abusive Behavior.
Alternate Reality Game: Viewers actively Participated by Attempting to Help Eric (or as “My Pet” as the Codemaster Refers to Eric As), getting to Ask Him Questions, Cracking Codes, Looking for Hidden Messages/Clues/Hints, and by Searching for a Secret Tape that Revealed the Final Video.
The Cat Food Diet: Viewers were Allowed to Determine what Single Solitary Solid Food Eric could Eat that would contain Enough Nutrients for Him to Survive; The Food turned out to be Cat Food.
Domestic Abuse: Eric’s Father Not Just Abused His Wife Driving Her to Drink, but He also Abused Eric and His Sister as well. The Codemaster’s Pervious Victim before Eric was a Prostitute Named Emily who made the Fatal Mistake of Approaching The Codemaster’s Car Late on Night.When Emily tried to Leave the Game Her Boyfriend (Who got Her into Hooking) Literally Threw Her and Her Belongings Out of the House.
NO ENDING: The Last Video Uploaded is Less of an Ending and More a Peek into The Codmaster’s Backstory, and has Not Uploaded any other Videos Since 2008 (More than likely it was Abandoned by Its Creator.)
Enjoy.
We Hope You Enjoyed this Twisted Tale of Human Horror as Much as We Did.
Local 58 is an INSANELY Creative Horror Web Series By Kris Straub and Presented in a “Found Footage” Style of Story Telling. The Series Appears to Span Several Decades from the Late 1960’s (possible Early 70’s) all the Way Up To 2019 so Far.
At the Start of the Series there were Only 4 Videos Online those being “Contingency”, “Station ID”, “Weather Service”, and one Titled “You Are On The Fastest Route”. Later on Down the Road a Fifth Video called “Show For Children” was Added to the Lineup. Subsequently Three Additional Local 58 Videos have been Posted since the Original Five if You will. Those Videos are “A Look Back” (Posted August 27, 2018), “Real Sleep” (December 19, 2018), and “Sky Watching” in November 2019.
The Video “Contingency” appears as if it was Shot in a Film Format while the Video “Show For Children” seems to be presented in a VCR Format. This Indicates the Series has Progressed from the 1960’s to the 1980’s. The Series Jumps ahead in Time After “Show For Children” to a 2014 . Thusly the Videos can be Rearranged into Chronological Order According to Their particular Time Frame as Opposed to Their Actual Posting Date(s).
The Plot Unfolds Predominately through a Series of Public Service Announcement, Public Warnings, and Emergency Broadcast’s being Transmitted On Local 58 WCLV-TV (there is Some on Screen Text as Well that Also has a Key Role). The Premise is there has been an Unknown World Wide Event Occurring while Local 58 WCLV-TV is Providing Public with Vital Information. Why is The World being Plunged into a Wide Spread Mass Panic? Could it be Nuclear War, a Government Conspiracy, Alien Invasion, Natural Disaster of Epic Proportions, Deadly epidemic, a Meteor Speeding toward Earth, or is Humanity facing the Actual Apocalypse? Who or What is behind it this Hysteria Exactly, and Who may be Involved?!
That’s what makes such a Creative Endeavor as Local 58 so Fascinatingly Mesmerizing is You have to Decipher the Series for Yourself. You have to Think for Yourself and Draw Your own Conclusions in the End. It’s a Series You can Watch Over and Over Looking for (and Finding) Subtle Details, Secret or Unseen Clues, Hidden Hints, and Underlying Nuances. All in All the Local 58 WCLV-TV Web Series is an Unnervingly Masterminded Multidimensional, and Multilayered Master Piece. Enjoy.
