Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Jennifer Coolidge into the ol’ VCR. 

The work of Jennifer Coolidge truly needs no introduction. Hell, Jennifer Coolidge doesn’t even need an introduction. From her interview with Jeremy Allen White to her iconic roles in Legally Blonde, Best in Show, and The White Lotus, we all know that Jennifer Coolidge is an American treasure. 

She also doesn’t need a modest little movie writer from humble beginnings (fun fact: I had to walk to school barefoot, uphill both ways, in the snow) highlighting her work. However, she deserves it. I’ve collected a few of my favorite J.Cool roles to spotlight, and believe me, it was a challenge to narrow them down to a list of five. 

Without further ado, let’s honor a true queen. 

A Mighty Wind: Jennifer Coolidge is an absolute scene stealer, and this movie deserves a place on the list for the humming scene alone. 

A Cinderella Story: The grip this movie has on me. Despite being the evil stepmother, Jennifer Coolidge is, by far, one of the best parts of A Cinderella Story. 

Gravity Falls: I know this one is a bit of a curveball, but hear me out. Imagine being so iconic that your voice is universally recognizable, and you choose to lend it to one of the best animated series of all time. 

Legally Blonde and Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, and Blonde: If you don’t say “dumbass” with Paulette’s inflection, I don’t know how to help you. 

Best in Show: I also love soup. 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping The Nick & Jessica Variety Hour into the ol’ VCR. 

A big part of my mission here on the blog is to watch all kinds of pop culture, so you don’t have to. Well, friends, I have once again sacrificed 45 minutes of my day, for your sake. 

About a year ago, I stumbled across The Nick & Jessica Variety Hour at a Dollar Tree. I obviously bought it and then added it to our editorial calendar (which is over 14 pages long, I might add). 

A while back, my queen, Jaime French, covered this particular piece of media, and I knew it was finally time to cover a real treat from 2004, as you can tell by the dresses worn with jeans, ties, and gauchos. 

Now, there’s no possible way I can make a coherent piece about The Nick & Jessica Variety Hour. Really. Instead, we’re going to do one of my favorite types of blog where I write out bullet points that represent my stream of consciousness. 

Without further ado, let’s dive in. 

• It’s mighty optimistic to call this the first variety hour.
• Thank God Kacey Musgraves saved variety show homages.
• Omg, that’s Jewel, not Ashlee Simpson. 🤦‍♀️
• I also don’t understand the pole vaulting joke, Jaime.
• The Muppets deserve better than this. 
• Why is Jessica wearing blonde wigs that are her exact hair color?
• Oh shit, “With You” does slap! 
• Why don’t we appreciate Jewel more?
• Someone made Nick duet instead of giving him a solo. 
• K.I.T.T. needs therapy. 
• Jessica also needs therapy. 
• Which episode of True Blood is this? 
• I want to crawl out of my skin because of Jessica’s Bush impression. 
• Who did Jessica piss off in wardrobe to get such busted wigs?
• Whoever came up with the Nick La Shave bit still brags about it to this very day. 
• I had no idea who Johnny Benches was before today and guessed he was some sort of traveling elementary school clown. 
• Why is Jessica singing “She Works Hard For The Money” in-between skits in a montage?
• This was absolutely Jessica’s idea. 
• Why am I sad knowing that they’re divorced now?
• I might need to go back to therapy. 

And there you have it. I made it through the entire Nick & Jessica Variety Hour. It isn’t unbearable, but it’s definitely cringe. I’d recommend pairing it with some episodes of Newlyweds for ultimate nostalgia. 

And yes, Mr. T does sing speak several lyrics of “With You.” 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping my fall playlist into the ol’ VCR. 

It should be obvious at this point that fall is my favorite time of the year. It has Halloween, autumnal-flavored goodies, and the excuse to wear sweaters, even though it’s 200℉ in Texas. It’s simply magical. 

Way back in 2014, I was the Assistant Manager at an ice cream shop where I could walk to and from work. Through my alma mater. With my headphones in. In other words, I greatly suffered from main character syndrome. 

That’s why I made an ultimate fall playlist to keep me company, as I daydreamed throughout my walk. 

Now, my playlist is over 300 songs (whoops). I’ll link the entire playlist in full below, but I wanted to pull 20 songs from it that scream fall to me, for some reason or another. 

So, pop your headphones in and join me on a fall afternoon as we walk through a college campus and pretend that our lives are an indie movie. 

• “Waiting for October” by Polaris 
• “No Need For Dreaming”  by MisterWives 
• “Despite What You’ve Been Told” by Two Gallants
• “Young Volcanoes” by Fall Out Boy 
• “But The Regrets Are Killing Me” by American Football
• “Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac 
• “Just Breathe” by Pearl Jam 
• “You Can’t Help Me Now” by The Both 
• “Whistle For The Choir” by The Fratellis 
• “Hey Jealousy” by The Gin Blossoms 
• “Parentheses” by The Blow
• “Save Tonight” by Eagle-Eye Cherry 
• “Mad Sounds” by Arctic Monkeys 
• “One Headlight” by The Wallflowers
• “Daria” by Cake 
• “Sleep to Dream” by Fiona Apple
• “2 Wicky” by Hooverphonic
• “Hope Yr Happy” by The Prettiots
• “Portions For Foxes” by Rilo Kilo
• “Blue Light” by Bloc Party

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Midwest Angelica into the ol’ VCR. 

Friends, I have a really good one for you today. 

I stumbled upon this series after watching one of Baz’s react videos. I was so intrigued by “Starfield” that I made a note to come back to the series later. And now, I’m making good on my promise. 

I’m completely blown away by this series, and I think Midwest Angelica is CRIMINALLY underrated. While the creators have confirmed that we’ve only reached the end of Act I, I can earnestly say Midwest Angelica is already one of the best analog horror series I’ve ever seen.

Part 80s/90s Sci Fi horror and part basic cable nightmare, this series depicts some sort of alien species that has fallen to earth. And, friends, they definitely don’t come in peace. 

The series opens with an infomercial for the VHS of a film titled (you guessed it) Midwest Angelica. This ad is plucked straight out of my family heirloom, the 1985 CBS Halloween Special, I swear, down to the music and voice actor. The run time is only about 57 seconds, and let me tell you — I was hooked from the start. 

Throughout the rest of the series, we’re shown the progression of an alien virus that strives to infiltrate and assimilate our species through different types of media. I really have to hand it to the creators because the creativity used to progress the plot is brilliant. We see these events unfold through stock footage, found footage, reenactments, and more. However, every medium is well executed. 

There are even times within videos, like “Home,” that I’m reminded of segments from 60 Minutes or even the likes of Curse of the Blair Witch, the documentary made to accompany The Blair Witch Project.

I can’t recommend this series enough, especially for fans of Gemini Home Entertainment and The Monument Mythos. Let’s get more eyes on the Midwest Angelica channel because they truly deserve for their work to be seen. As for me, I’ll keep my eyes to the sky, from a safe distance that is.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Ferris Bueller’s Day Off into the ol’ VCR. 

Friends, today’s piece is a special one. In honor of my sister’s birthday, I want to take a look at an old favorite, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. 

You see, my sister and I are 15 years apart, so she was my pop culture guru. She introduced me to the likes of John Hughes and Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion. I also still have several of her CDs with zero plans of ever returning them (ah, the perks of living 165+ miles apart). 

I was having a sleepover in late elementary school, and Nikki rented Ferris Bueller’s Day Off from the local Blockbuster for my friend and me. I was immediately taken by it. 

As I ate my pizza rolls and sipped my Capri Sun, I became swept up in the world of Ferris Bueller. He was cute, charming, and a perfect companion to one of my life long fictional crushes, Cameron Frye. Ferris had the girl, the popularity, and broke the fourth wall in a way I’d come to love. 

It’s the sheer neuroticism for me. 

Ferris Bueller also gave me advice that I use to this very day: 

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

(I even threw this advice out once to a friend of mine I was semi-talking to, and I don’t believe it went over well, but I tried.) 

Listen, I’m a busy gal. I run a blog and YouTube channel with El. I have three dogs. I have a full-time job. I dog-sit on the side. And, occasionally, I leave my house to go watch movies or go to shows so that I can write about them. 

Tl;dr – My life is chaotic. 

I feel like I regularly versions of all three of these outfits.

However, I’ve gotten better over the years at not only recognizing but vocalizing when I need to cancel plans. There are times you just don’t feel like your best, be it mentally, physically, or emotionally, and that’s perfectly fine. I’m here to earnestly tell you that you’re allowed to raincheck plans if you need time to rest. 

Your friends will understand. And, if they don’t, if you’re comfortable sharing, explain why you need that time. If they still don’t understand, they aren’t your friend. Plain and simple. 

I want to thank my sister for introducing me to the tao of Ferris Bueller. We’ve had our ups and downs over the years, but we came back together when it mattered most. I love my sister dearly, and I don’t know what I’d do without her. 

Without her, I wouldn’t know the wonders of Rocky Horror Picture Show or the Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks cover album. I wouldn’t have such a big appreciation for hoop earrings and rings. Additionally, I wouldn’t excel at trivia in the way I do without growing up in such a pop culture-rooted house. 

Happy Birthday, Sister 🖤

I know it’s crazy, but I’m a real person who exists outside of the internet! I’m the one who isn’t my sister.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the eras of Taylor Swift into the ol’ VCR. 

Sometimes, ideas pop into my brain that are too good to pass up. This is one of those ideas. 

Friends, I’ve broken down each era of Taylor Swift and paired it up with a horror movie (with the exception of one, but it was too perfect). Now, some of the reasons may only make sense in my head, but I think you should be able to follow my reasons (emphasis on should). 

I’ve also pulled three songs from each album that I think would be featured on the soundtrack for maximum effect. 

Alrighty, let’s swiftly get to it. 

Me to anyone who argues with my choice of movies. 

Taylor Swift as The Loved Ones 

In her book, The 2000s Made Me Gay, Grace Perry talks about Taylor Swift and why she relates to her music. She views Taylor Swift’s early albums as the daydreams of a teenager stuck in a small town; she believes many of these songs to be Taylor’s imagination running away with her. That’s why I think Taylor’s first album pairs well with The Loved Ones. 

Sean Byrne’s The Loved Ones is a classic love story between a girl and her captive crush. After rejecting her invitation to prom, Lola and her father kidnap Brent so that Lola can have her dream prom. 

Now, you might be asking yourself why I’ve paired these two together. Think about it. Whenever you’re a teenager and have a crush on someone, you’re willing to do a lot to get their attention (Lola just takes it to the extreme). And, if you face rejection, you’re likely to journal something akin to “Teardrops On My Guitar.” 

Soundtrack songs: “Picture to Burn,” “Teardrops On My Guitar,” and “Invisible” 

How I feel at most social gatherings

Fearless (Taylor’s Version) as Tragedy Girls 

At its core, Fearless is about female friendship and growing up. In Tyler MacIntyre’s Tragedy Girls, Sadie and McKayla’s friendship evolves throughout the film. Do they bond over murder? Yes, but work with me here. Tragedy Girls chronicles the ups and downs of adolescent friendship and romance, just like Fearless. 

Soundtrack songs: “Fearless,” “Bye Bye Baby,” and “Fifteen” 

I had this exact hair cut in high school, and I can confidently tell you that it wasn’t seen as a serve. 

Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) as Carrie  

For some reason, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) was the hardest album to pair. Then, I re-listened to “Mean,” and everything clicked. Brian De Palma’s Carrie is a film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel (which also happens to be the first King book I ever read and one of the first horror movies I ever remember seeing). Carrie is centered around Carrie White, a young girl who is bullied at school by day, and abused by her extremely religious mother by night. 

Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) represents a whirlwind of emotions. From being bullied to feeling loved to having your heartbroken, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) parallels Carrie’s journey throughout high school and prom night. 

Soundtrack songs: “Mean (Taylor’s Version),” “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” and “Haunted (Taylor’s Version)” 

Me after completing a minute task. 

Red (Taylor’s Version) as Ready or Not

I think this matchup might be the most obvious. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett’s Ready or Not is a delightful horror comedy wherein Samara Weaving’s Grace finds herself marrying into a wealthy family… who made a pact with the devil to keep their fortune. The whole movie consists of Grace playing a deadly game of hide and seek in an attempt to spare her life. 

I know what you’re thinking. How the hell does this connect, right? Well, the playful tone of Ready or Not would be amplified through some of the songs in Red (Taylor’s Version). Additionally, Red (Taylor’s Version), at least to me, represents a young woman channeling her strength to overcome major heartbreaks while interjecting some humor into the situation. And, I believe your husband not telling you about the game night from Hell constitutes a major heartbreak. 

Soundtrack songs: “I Knew You Were Trouble (Taylor’s Version),” “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (Taylor’s Version),” and “The Lucky One (Taylor’s Version)” 

Me disassociating as I listen to “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version)” on repeat.

1989 (Taylor’s Version) as Scream VI 

For some reason, Scream VI and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) immediately paired for me. Blame it on the setting and commentary, but tracks like “Welcome to New York” would fit so nicely within a meta horror movie. I would also LOVE for our queen, Mindy, to go off on a tangent about how franchises will include pop music for no apparent reason, other than a cash grab. *Cut to a party/chase scene with the likes of “Shake It Off” playing in the background* 

Soundtrack songs: “Welcome to New York,” “Out of the Woods,” and “Black Space” 

Hey Anika, All You Had To Do Was Stay 🥴

Reputation as Jennifer’s Body

I have never connected two pieces of media so quickly as I did with Reputation and Jennifer’s Body. As I’ve said before, I will be FERAL when Reputation (Taylor’s Version) is released. I know Taylor gets a lot of flack for Reputation, but it’s one of, if not my favorite, Taylor Swift album of all time. 

Karyn Kusama’s film Jennifer’s Body, much like Reputation, is about a girl killing a part of herself, only to be resurrected as something greater. Jennifer is also seen as something evil to be destroyed, and, well, we all remember what happened that led to Reputation. While Jennifer might’ve been “actually evil, not high school evil,” and Taylor was proven innocent, I think the sentiment is the same within both pieces of content. 

Soundtrack songs: “Look What You Made Me Do,” “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things,” and “I Did Something Bad” 

Honestly, the music video for “You Belong With Me” is like the prequel to Jennifer’s Body. 

Lover as Fear Street: Part One – 1994

This was another given for me. Something about the progression of Deena and Sam’s relationship in Fear Street: Part One – 1994 just screamed Lover to me. Lover, in my opinion, covers everything from the delusional honeymoon phase of a relationship to the complex nuances of love.

One of, if not the biggest, overarching themes of the Fear Street trilogy is love. Deena and Sam’s relationship transcends time, as seen in 1666, and you already know that Deena would put “False God” on a mixtape for Sam. 

Soundtrack songs: “Death By A Thousand Cuts,” “Daylight,” and “Cruel Summer” 

Heather, You Need To Calm Down 

Folklore as May 

Now, this may seem like a wildcard, but hear me out. The soundtrack for Lucky McKee’s May, which I love, has a similar vibe to Folklore. May feels very confessional and almost like we’re watching a fucked up reverse fairytale. Folklore listens like we’re being read three minute stories. Each song represents a different person and/or story within a person’s life. 

Much like Folklore, Angela Bettis’s May is complicated. At times, you really feel for her. At other times, you can’t stand her. Either way, Folklore and May fit together. 

Soundtrack songs: “this is me trying,” “mirrorball,” and “invisible string” 

You can’t look at this girl and tell me she wouldn’t be a Swiftie. 

Evermore as Pearl 

For those who haven’t seen Ti West’s Pearl, the long and short of it is that Mia Goth’s title character wants to achieve fame at any cost. She’s a technicolor terror who enjoys spending time with her pet alligator and making everyone around her uncomfortable. I know I might be underselling Pearl, but it was one of the best horror movies to come out of 2022. I digress. 

There are so many songs on Evermore that remind me of older music, like the kind Pearl would most likely listen to; there’s a maturity to the tracklist. Pearl is a complex character, so she needs an album with range that also addresses some aspects of fame. Evermore would remind her that she’s a star. 

Soundtrack songs: “no body, no crime (feat. HAIM),” “dorothea,” and “cowboy like me” 

Prolonged Eye Contact (Pearl’s Version)

Midnights as Promising Young Woman 

I know, I know. Promising Young Woman isn’t a horror movie. BUT, y’all can’t tell me these two don’t go together like Bo Burnham and Paris Hilton’s banger “Stars Are Blind.” 

Emerald Fennell’s Promising Young Woman follows Carey Mulligan’s Cassie as she seeks revenge for her best friend and punishes men of, let’s just say, ill-repute (aka rapists who try to take advantage of women). Boys will be boys, but they’ll also get what they deserve.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The themes of revenge, karma, and having to become your own hero we hear within Midnights are perfect to represent Promising Young Woman. 

Soundtrack songs: “Mastermind,” “Vigilante Shit,” and “Karma” 

The epitome of the Good For Her subgenre. 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite werewolf content into the ol’ VCR. 

I love me a good werewolf tail (get it?). 

In all seriousness though, I’ve always been a big fan of the werewolf genre. I think there’s a lot of rich representation lying beneath the lycanthropy. The werewolf represents the primal feelings we dare not show in the daylight. They’re often portrayed as animalistic humanoids and claim to not often remember what happens within the darkness. 

They’re also sometimes really and unexplainably horny?

Anyway. I’ve gathered some of my favorite werewolf movies below, as well as one that transformed into a major flop. So gather your popcorn and silver bullets, and settle in for a howling good time.

I love werewolves so much, I adopted one.

The Wolf Man (1941): I wonder which conditioner he uses. (VOD) 

The Howling: This is the one with the mom from E.T. (Shudder) 

An American Werewolf in London:  I love a man who can practically transform into a werewolf without CGI. (Shudder, Tubi)

You can’t look at this and tell me she isn’t serving cunt. 

Ginger Snaps series: Honestly, Ginger ate and left no crumbs. Literally. (Peacock, Tubi, Shudder) 

Night of the Wolf (aka Late Phases): This is one hell of a commercial for Life Alert. (Peacock, Tubi)

Silver Bullet: I told y’all that it always goes back to the church. (Max) 

Me, anytime A24 drops a new trailer. 

Dishonorable Mention

Listen, Wes, they can’t all be winners. Do I still watch Cursed for the camp? Yes. Do I think it’s unfortunate that Milo Ventimiglia’s character is used in the way he is? Absolutely.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Amy Sherman-Palladino’s Gilmore Girls into the ol’ VCR. 

Well, friends, it’s finally the most wonderful time of the year. All of the decorations in the stores turn orange and black. You can buy fall-themed coffee creamers. The weather goes from hot to slightly less hot (I live in Texas). 

Fall not only brings my favorite holiday, but September 1st also brings one of my years long traditions with it: my annual rewatch of Gilmore Girls. For years, I’ve rewatched Gilmore Girls from the beginning of September through the end of November. I even own the DVD box set, just in case Netflix decides to take it down. 

I know there are a lot of problems with the jokes within Gilmore Girls. I 1000% agree with all of you. It’s just a silly little tradition that makes me happy…and also makes me cringe whenever something awful is said. Additionally, we can all agree that Rory Gilmore is the absolute worst. 

THE FACT LORELAI PICKS HER UP FROM JAIL AND THEN RORY LAUGHS AT COLIN AND FINN FAKE BOWING TO HER. 

Moving on. 

My full tradition is to make a cup of coffee with pumpkin creamer, grab a blanket (that I’m usually sweating into because, again, I live in Texas), snuggle up on my couch with my dogs, and press play. And each year, I take something different away. I also like A Year in the Life a little more with each rewatch, and I can’t explain why. 

I consider fall to start the day after my birthday in August, but fall officially officially starts for me on September 1. So, dear friends, I thought I would give you 10 of my favorite Gilmore Girls episodes, so that you too can start your fall off right. And feel free to skip “That Damn Donna Reed” episode because it’s the WORST. 

• “Rory’s Birthday Parties” (Season 1) 
• “Concert Interruptus” (Season 1) 
• “Forgiveness and Stuff” (Season 1) 
• “Presenting Lorelai Gilmore” (Season 2) 
• “The Bracebridge Dinner” (Season 2) 
• “Dear Emily and Richard” (Season 3) 
• “The Lorelais’ First Day At Yale” (Season 4) 
• “Last Week Fights, This Week Tights” (Season 4) 
• “Raincoats and Recipes” (Season 4) 
• “Friday Night’s Alright For Fighting” (Season 6) 

I would love for Diablo Cody and Amy Sherman-Palladino to write a teen show together. 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today we’re popping the Liminal Land ARG into the ol’ VCR.

Ya girl loves a good horror ARG, and it looks like we have a new contender on our hands in Liminal Land. Spawned from the minds of Nexpo and Nick Crowley, Liminal Land takes us through a theme park turned communal living space. 

Here’s what we know/suspect thus far: 

• Many of these rides were experimental and killed and/or mutilated riders. 
• The park itself is a living organism and/or a horrific, Eldritch horror. 
• Several tourists/families have gone missing.
• Humanoid-type creatures might be living beneath the park, C.H.U.D. style. 
• These incidents were/are part of some sort of sacrificial ritual. 
• Liminal Land was closed in 1989… but it appears it might still be active. 

The website is full of photos and written accounts of the park’s attractions and experiences, while the YouTube channel has been providing us with those good, good analog horror videos I so desperately crave. 

As we stumble across more Easter eggs and the creators give us more insight, I’m genuinely excited to see how the Liminal Land fleshes out. Keep your eyes on this one, folks. I know I am. 

Also, if you feel yourself being called to The Liminal Land Anomaly, I’d let it go to voicemail.

UPDATES

Hello, friends! We’ve had some updates in the Liminal Land universe, and I wanted to share them with you… as well as a couple of my theories. 

Since we last spoke, we’ve had a couple of new video releases in both “Found Footage – Welcome H.O.M.E.” and “Investigation Tape – Mommy’s Friend.” Additionally, there have been several pieces of media added to the Archives, as well as a new area on the website called Intervention. The Intervention tab needs a password that no one has been able track down yet, so I think we should keep our eyes peeled for upcoming videos 👀

As always, I don’t want to spoil the fun for you, so I’m not going to go into all of the resources in depth. 

HOWEVER, I want to take a moment and briefly dive into “Investigation Tape – Mommy’s Friend.” In the video, we’re introduced to Sofia Munoz and her daughter, Angie. Authorities are called to the Munoz residence because Sofia has allegedly been acting strangely since her daughter disappeared. 

Sofia claims she has no knowledge of her daughter’s disappearance, but drawings found while investigating the home point to the contrary…at least to some point. 

In the hand-drawn story, Angie recounts being taken to Liminal Land to meet “Mommy’s friend,” aka a demon who bears a striking resemblance to the demon behind the first password protected page. 

Authorities have been unable to locate Sofia for follow-up questioning. 

Now, friends, this video made something click in my brain. 

Are you ready for my big theory?

The Liminal Land mascot is the demon. Not literally, obviously, but look at the Liminal Land mascot, Molly: 

And the demon from the locked page is named, wait for it, MOLDOCH: 

THEY’RE THE SAME ENTITY. Part of Liminal Land’s sinister history has been hiding in plain sight this entire time. I’m both gagged and gooped. 

Also, this particular beast is known for being one of sacrifice…child sacrifice. 

My big theory is that H.O.M.E. is some sort of altar or part of an altar to this being, and that’s why one of the flyers references how H.O.M.E. is ideal for parents. 

I’ll keep y’all updated as we receive more info.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Kane Pixel’s The Backrooms into the ol’ VCR. 

Okay, I know they say children are the future, but I think they really might hold the key to the future of horror. Alex Kister’s Mandela Catalogue and Kane Pixel’s The Backrooms both being shining examples. 

Kane’s series is based on a 4chan post (I know, I know) from years ago that described The Backrooms as a liminal space with yellow walls and absolutely heinous fluorescent lighting (I can only think of the HD scene from 30 Rock). The Backrooms are devoid of human life but do contain, um, entities that may or may not have once been human. Here’s the original comment that started it all, with the photo that is considered to be lost media: 

“If you’re not careful and you noclip 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[.] 

God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you[.]” 

I would love to meet the person who said, “Oh, honey, I’m so glad we decided on piss yellow for the walls!” 

Kane’s series takes this idea and runs, nay, sprints with it. Sitting at 49 MILLION views, the first video entitled “The Backrooms (Found Footage)” follows an amateur skateboarder as he noclips into the Backrooms in the 90s. It establishes Kane’s lore, and more impressively, he made this in his early teens (and it’s better than some horror movies I’ve seen that were made by a gaggle of adults). 

Throughout his series, we’re introduced to Async Industries, who seem to have brought the Backrooms into the forefront to solve overpopulation, among other issues. I know. It’s hard to believe that our country would rather create housing within a liminal space than, idk, give us universal health care, provide sustainable resources for the unhoused, etc… But I digress. 

As Kane’s series unfolds, we learn the ins and outs of the Backrooms, including more information about Async, more information about what happens within the Backrooms, and the unpleasant entities walking within its walls. It’s badass.

Not only is the series ongoing, but Kane is currently developing a movie adaptation with A24. Yes, that A24. The good news is, Kane addresses the worries surrounding the film in his episode of Anthony Padilla’s I Spent A Day With series, and stated that A24 is giving him a lot of creative control, so we should be pleased. 

Kane Pixels’s series is another reminder to not discredit young creators. When I was a teenager, I spent my time finding the perfect song for my Myspace page. Kane has over two million YouTube subscribers and is working with freakin’ A24 to adapt his series. Neither one of us spent our adolescence incorrectly, but y’know, one of us is making a movie and the other one of us listened to their copy of A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out until it skipped. 

I can’t wait to see The Backrooms up on the big screen. But, I’ll still be looking around the theater to make sure I’m not the only one in it.
