I can’t believe a single 4chan post started this. I’ve always wanted a movie about the House of Leaves and am happy since this is kinda similar

From what I've heard, You Should Have Left has some similarities to House of Leaves

Feature film that seems like it will do the creepypasta justice, what a pleasant surprise

The Backrooms was a creepypasta just like scp, so an apt comparison for sure.

I thought it was a game

SCP was kinda my entrypoint into creepypasta, so I appreciate the clarification. Wouldn't have known there was a prior inspiration to it.

Both started as a story attached to a creepy image on 4chan. For the Backrooms it really got popularised by a guy on youtube making videos turning it into a further scary story. That same guy on youtube is directing the A24 movie which is pretty epic
