5 Essential Backrooms Videos to Watch on YouTube After the Movie
The article recommends five Kane Parsons Backrooms videos for viewers who enjoyed his A24 horror film and want to explore its YouTube origins. It explains that Parsons’ videos are mainly atmospheric fragments rather than complete narratives, offering scattered clues that gradually suggest a larger story.
The essential starting point is Found Footage, the nine-minute viral film with more than 94 million views, which provides the clearest self-contained horror story. Other highlighted videos include a brief Async Research Institute experiment showing the first breach into the Backrooms and Found Footage 2, in which cameraman Marvin Leigh explores dangerous lower levels before the story ends abruptly.
In short
- Parsons’ videos deepen the film’s mysterious Backrooms mythology.
- Found Footage is the clearest standalone entry.
- Most videos offer fragments rather than complete answers.
Explained simply
The Backrooms began as an internet horror idea about endless, empty rooms that people can somehow fall into. Filmmaker Kane Parsons developed the concept into a series of YouTube videos, using found-footage style scenes and fragments of information to hint at a wider story.
Parsons’ videos feature the Async Research Institute, a fictional organisation investigating the Backrooms, and people caught up in its experiments. The videos vary in length and do not always tell a complete story, so viewers piece together what is happening from clues across the series. They provide context for the world behind his film.
