- Backrooms gets an extended cut, which hits theaters from July 4
- The film will be titled Backrooms: Everything must go and contains 16 minutes of new footage
- Backrooms is the second highest grossing horror film of 2026 so far
Backrooms was a monumental success for A24 and became the second highest grossing horror film of 2026 so far. Those of you hungry for even more lore won’t be disappointed when an extended cut hits theaters.
From July 4 Backrooms: Everything must go will play in theaters globally, where it will feature 16 minutes of brand new footage. According to Deadline, the new version will have “more lore and more Easter eggs for fans.”
If you are a fan of Backrooms lore like me, the promise of even more footage is probably exciting. One of the reasons I keep coming back to Backrooms is how deep the online lore goes; I could really spend hours wandering the place given half the chance. No matter how dangerous it may be.
The hype around Backrooms is not dying down

It’s a great time to be a horror fan right now. Backrooms has caused quite a stir on social media, marking the first time that Creepypasta has been adapted for the big screen.
In an interview with our senior entertainment reporter Tom Power, Backrooms director Kane Parsons talked about the rise of YouTubers making horror movies from Markiplier’s Iron Lung to Curry Barker’s Occupationwhich is now available on demand.
Parsons said, “A common trait shared by many of these YouTube filmmakers is having an established contract with their audience and treating fans as if they’re a little more intelligent and aware than the average entertainment fan. So I can’t speak to why the studios are finally taking notice of us, but I’m glad they are.”
With Backrooms re-entering theaters for an extended cut, I’m certainly glad that horror is being taken seriously across the board. I can’t wait to see what Backrooms: Everything must go have in store for us.
