This episode we bravely wander into dimly lit corridors so you don’t have to (you’re welcome). This week, we’re diving headfirst into the ever-growing creepypasta-to-big-screen pipeline with Obsession (2025) and Backrooms (2026)—two films that prove the internet’s “what if this goes horribly wrong?” energy is alive, well, and making a serious dent in our sleep schedule.
First up,
Obsession, directed by Curry Barker, takes the classic “be careful what you wish for” trope and gives it a thoroughly modern, deeply uncomfortable twist; Starring
Michael Johnston and
Inde Navarrette.
Then there’s
Backrooms, Kane Parsons’ leap from viral YouTube horror to full-blown
A24 spectacle. Based on the infamous creepypasta born on the internet’s darker corners, the film stars
Chiwetel Ejiofor and
Renate Reinsve as they explore a seemingly endless maze of eerie, liminal spaces that feel just a little too familiar.
Guiding you through this labyrinth are Dion (bravely pretending he’d survive five minutes in either film), Quinny (already mapping escape routes that definitely won’t work), and Jill (who read the creepypasta lore so you don’t have to… or maybe so you will).
A huge shout-out to the obsessive demons and stuffed weirdos who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST.
