It's March 31st. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, AI-powered stories from the world of fame. I'm Cory with the story. A-2 forges drop the trailer for their upcoming horror flick, Back Rooms, directed by YouTube creator Kane Pixels, whose real name is Parsons. It stars Renate Reyes-Vay from Sentimental Value and draws from his viral short films he launched online back in 2022. The stories set in the 1990s following a research group called Async Diving into a twisted alternate dimension full of endless empty rooms. That Back Rooms concept didn't start with Parsons though. It kicked off from a 2019 post on 4chan where someone shared a disquieting pick of a dingy yellow walled room that screams wrongness. Folks described it as miles of damp carpet stench, buzzing fluorescent lights and random chambers where something might be lurking if you slip out of. Reality. The idea tapped into our fear of liminal spaces, those in between spots like abandoned offices that feel haunted even when empty.

Parsons videos exploded on YouTube, turning that creepy pasta lore into must-watch horror and building a massive fanbase hooked on the unease. Meanwhile, other YouTube horror makers are leveling up too. Take Curry Barker, who started with sketch comedy alongside Cooper Thompson, dropped his feature Milk and Serial for free, online last year, and now has obsession hitting theaters this May. Back Rooms rolls into theaters. May 29th, 2026, so brace for that no-clip dread creeping into the big screen.
