BACKROOMS

This week we have a bonus treat for you all. Filmed when he was just 19 years old, Kaine Parsons has crafted a liminal, arthouse horror film that has resonated with audiences-especially younger ones-to the tune of over $300 million at the box office and counting. Serving as not only A24's largest box office in its history, the film also gives notice that that the dawn of the YouTube to cinema pipeline is in full swing.

Mike and Brian are on hand to document the history of this creepypasta turned viral sensation, and what works so well in crafting a disturbing, unnerving horror title that explores grief, loss, accountability and the fallibility of memory and firsthand experience.
