    I can’t believe a single 4chan post started this. I’ve always wanted a movie about the House of Leaves and am happy since this is kinda similar

      The Backrooms was a creepypasta just like scp, so an apt comparison for sure.

          The game is also based on the original creepypasta :)

        SCP was kinda my entrypoint into creepypasta, so I appreciate the clarification. Wouldn’t have known there was a prior inspiration to it.

          Both started as a story attached to a creepy image on 4chan. For the Backrooms it really got popularised by a guy on youtube making videos turning it into a further scary story. That same guy on youtube is directing the A24 movie which is pretty epic
