I love how quickly and realistically this goes from a guy wanting to show off something cool, thinking he found some awesome phenomenon and knowing he's gonna get millions of views through this discovery... to the panic setting in as he realizes this is so much bigger than him. You can _feel_ the confusion and anxiety setting in the deeper he goes. "I am not supposed to be here." 10/10 acting.
Wow, just the pure dread I felt as he slowly walks down these unexplainable stairs, slowly getting deeper and darker and Wyatt’s voice gets quieter is just perfect. I love it
This entire video reminds me of one of my favorite lovecraftian short stories The Nameless City, the entire story was just a man going down stairs and finding out he doesnt belong and beings lived before him, and there is no payoff as the protagonist just runs away when the climax builds but it still is chilling.
Uh wrong? He keeps doing down and down and down into he heard the crocodile seals monsters get loader and loader and eventually gets to a threshold with howling wind and monster sounds and it's over
I love the fact that there’s no jumpscare, the tension just builds and builds and then the video ends and leaves you with your mind racing and wondering what happens next. This is exactly my kind of horror.
Which is especially impressive, because there were several moments when it had to be tempting af to put in a jumpscare. The door especially just screams "something evil lives behind here".
My anxiety kept escalating exponentially. You sir, have nailed this "genre" in such an organic way. I can hardly bare it yet it is so palatable. Well done!
@@courtneybrooker588 no idea. Computer graphics are completely insane these days. Especially when it doesn't need to be rendered in real time like a video game.
The CGI work turned out so convincing and realistic, I'm really blown away. It's so interesting and so unsettling at the same time. It's not because Kane has to use stupid jumpscares, it's because of the mood, the sound design and the liminal spaces. Overwhelming, I'm so glad that something like this exists. It just pulls me into its spell.
The only part that wasn't was the hole in the ground but that's forgivable because that's real footage meshed with CGI and of course Kane Pixels (although a genius) does not have the budget of Hollywood movies. You'd need a lot of manhours and tech to seamlessly blend real and fake and honestly I thought he did a really good job.
@@reidhanson4755 really, I thought the hole cgi/real mash up was pretty seamless. The only thing I thought was a bit braking was the door at the end it seemed unnatural and flat.
I like to think just how absurdly dangerous these stairs would be. If you notice, they are not uniform in height or length. It seems subtle but it really throws you off. Medieval castles would deliberately do this to make it more difficult for invaders. Combine that with an absurdly long, uninterrupted staircase without handrails. It's a recipe for disaster. Imagine a group walking them. The more people, the more dangerous they become. If just one were to misstep and tumble, it would take out everybody in the group beneath them.
I'd also like to point out their appears to be wear and tear patterns on the stairs from many people going up and down them. Lotsa traffic to one area, then it all just stopped.
@@LgdFantathe term mankind is typically associated with the entirety of the human race although humankind is also a usable term the term mankind has been used for much longer so it is more often used over humankind (edit: the fact that this is a H. P. Lovecraft quote means that it’s even more obvious why the term mankind is used here because throughout history the only feminists were either monarchs or outcasts so nobody would be like “don’t you mean humankind?” because that would be weird at the time)
@@labfire8964yeah, women really didn't have a say in anything until recent history. Entire mass femicides were common throughout the last few thousand years and we don't even remember. Why even care about an alternate term when they weren't even seen as serious people? I think they're just being facetious for fun.
This is absolutely amazing. The footage, the suspense, the mood. No cheap jumpscares, just the human curiosity together with the fear of the unknown. Superb!
The dialogue is the best part of these videos. It's so insanely natural. The way it sounds like the youtuber is actually THINKING about what to say, making mistakes, changing his mind... Trying to think of ways to explain what's going on and how to make it entertaining. It's amazing how natural it sounds. It sounds like an actual UA-cam video of some guy trespassing to show a cool tunnel.
The fact that as the video goes on he starts to speak more and more quietly, showing himself more and more apprehensive, rambling about random things so as not to show fear...
I get such House of Leaves vibes when he's going down the stairs, but when he enters the door suddenly it feels like someone wanted to know what Silent Hill would feel like if it were empty. Pure chills.
The last part where the mall is revealed and the music fades in completely is just brilliant. My favorite scene in the whole series. You’re brilliant, my man.
I love how the door and room at the bottom of the stairs is a symbol for the transition into a world of nothing but death and decay. Shit looks like a decrepit sewer or crematorium or a dungeon or something. The filth covering the walls and the wrought iron gate, juxtaposed against the “clean” but barren aesthetic of the stores in the mall, my god. The blue gray carpet, the little piles of random garbage littered around the carpet which is exactly what you would see in an abandoned mall. The attention to detail is insane. We’re so lucky to have you Kane.
Kane is a master at suspenseful horror, no jump scares, literally just a guy walking down an incredibly long flight of stairs and then finding what looks like an abandoned shopping mall. The whole time I was wondering when someone was going to be at the top of the stairs leaving that guy with no where to go.
I'm still upset about that. A24 should have let him continue making the Backrooms series, no matter how good his other stuff is it will never reach the views of the Backrooms stuff. They're essentially screwing over his revenue stream AND his passion project.
@@WobblesandBean my Theory is it just has an other Name because he Cant call it backrooms but it is still the Same Like the whole vibe of the staircase and the mall gives me the backrooms feeling And it would fit pretty good to it
@@ashxxiv Yea, anywhere on the internet. He's making a movie cooperating with a24 but they don't allow him to produce content here on the channel, hence no backrooms uploads.
I have just been suggested this by my friend after retelling him a nightmare I had months ago and by far the scariest part is the idea of having to go back up all those stairs. Fantastic work, this looks SO good.
The further he went down those stairs, the more uncomfortable I got. Claustrophobia and the thought of being trapped deep underground are definitely things that get to me. And just... things that don't make any goddamn sense. Not to mention the thought of encountering a person in a place you're not supposed to be... or something else. Excellent work as always, Kane. Looking forward to the next one!
What started to get me was the never ending fear of a jumpscare. Every corner, every little hole I expected something but there is nothing even 8 minutes in..
The dry trail surrounded by high grass in the first part of the video invokes such powerful nostalgia to a place I know isn’t actually there anymore. China Camp Beach in California had a trail so similar to that that I still know what it smelled like to be there. I still know how it felt to carry a paddle board on my shoulder, to feel the little pricks on my feet from all the burrs in the grass. I haven’t been to California, much less China Camp Beach in several years, and I may never be there again. Even still, this is powerful stuff, and it connects dots I had forgotten the location of. Rat Rock Island, a tiny rocky outcropping in the water that the geese would nest on. The tiny, grassy beach with dense clay and silt rather than sand. Even the little red streaks of blood from the clams I stepped on are glowing through rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia. It’s such a brief moment in this series, and yet it is everything to me.
I was at my office late at night last night and while I was returning from the restroom. I heard the loud, unmistakable sound of caster wheels from gthe cleaning crew and immediately turned around super quick thinking I’d see homeboy. LOL
this is actually insane. no jumpscares, no entities, nothing that can be traditionally considered scary. but it might be your most terrifying video yet. fantastic work.
@@chaotixthefox absolutely, but in traditional horror the tension is a tool. it’s a lead up to the scare. this video is like a song with no resolving chords.
I like how Kane knows exactly what we want and finds a way to work around the Backrooms and A24 to give it to us. And on top of that, it gives us a completely new mystery to ponder.
Was trying to piece it together, from what I gathered the first door seemed to enter into some kind of decontamination chamber? Seemed to me like some weird convoluted bomb shelter complete with shopping center lol
I feel like mentioning the smell of cut grass might have something to with the mechanical purpose of "grass smell". The smell of cut grass is a defense mechanism evolved by plants, intended to alert predators to the presence of prey animals. In this context, maybe it's intended to serve as a warning to anyone who enters here.
Man, with the other videos there was a degree to which I could figure out it was just an animation posing as hyperreality, but in this one I couldn't tell how much of it was practical or not. The stairs and the textures look so convincing but it shouldn't be. That inability to really tell what's real or not adds a lot to the liminal space horror.
For real. The first like minute of this upload I was unsure, whether or not he decided to blend actual real footage with the cgi stuff he creates. That driving footage in the beginning is pretty convincing if it wasn't real...
buzzword buzzword buzzword, are you are a effect nerd too? the film maker has to be one but for us it should not be about the special effects "hyperreality" "practical" "liminal space horror" give me a break dude
This is genuinely impressive, I don’t know how you managed to make a 3d environment look so real especially the stairs, but as someone who’s currently studying this sort of stuff congratulations.
Right? I was very impressed with what seemed to be completely unique models throughout the entire thing- I wasn't able to find any tiling or repeated elements
Yeah I feel like it's difficult to make basic empty rooms look natural and detailed Edit: at 8:10 I noticed the texture repeats so it's just a really good wall texture used there and not some procedural thing. Also I assume the stairs are photogrammetry
I absolutely love your incorporation of abandoned malls to this series! I remember watching footage of carousel mall before it got demolished, and this vid definitely captures the essence of it so well!
Kane figured out that a lot of his Backrooms viewers also frequent other liminal space channels, like the dudes who explore old abandoned shopping malls. The man is single-handedly pioneering the Liminal Horror genre
"Pioneering" means being the first to do something. Kane isn't "pioneering" anything here, but he is taking the genre to a more technically competent and engaging place. He's raising the bar.
First time watching and I have to applaud you for the staircase in the woods but it goes down instead of up to nowhere. I feel like that reminder to never trust stairs in the woods in the back of your head as you're watching this is ever present. I love the exploration horror. This is amazing.
I love this new direction kane is going in, he isn't sticking to the backrooms and what will get the most views, he's doing what he wants and that's what film making and UA-cam is really about.
I honestly like this even more than the backrooms stuff, its so uncanny and realistic. There's no monsters or corporations, just a purely unexplainable exploration of a mysterious location. You are genuinely such a skilled film maker with a passion for creativity!
Came back to rewatch this before I watched the newest video and I couldn’t help but think…. If I were descending those stairs, I’d get vertigo or trip and just tumble down for infinity 😂😂
This could be just as compelling as his Backrooms videos if not BETTER. This is new and fresh yet has the same charm as the Backrooms videos. I was a bit worried Kane was gonna do something too different that strays from what brought people to his channel, but oh no, this seems to have everything that the Backrooms series did. I CANNOT WAIT for Part 3, but who knows how long that could take to produce!!
I'm hoping this is an isolated series from the backrooms! I think Kane is the king of backrooms content because he doesn't buy into the "levels", which I think detract from the concept. I love abandoned malls and I like horror based on it, but I'd personally prefer that it remains standalone and not associated with yellow walls or hazmat suits per se.
7:01 notice the skull(?) on the wall to his left and a line right above it Also another thing I noticed was weird was that he said it was colder as he went down and at 8:02 he said it smelled like "cut grass"
I never realized it was possible to scare the hell out of people without entities or jumpscares. Kane Pixels has mastered the art of horror! It is insane how the thought of no entity is scarier than one.
That's when you know horror has been done right. Everyone can get a jolt out of people with a jumpscare or chasing people. But to truly terrify people when nothing is happening is the best kind of horror IMO, because it seeps into your bones.
I've been pondering how the heck you managed to literally do this so damn well from start to finish, but honestly? All I care is that you keep doing what you're doing. You're doing some magic with what has to be a fun combination of practical and digital effects, and I'm all for it.
It’s just mind-boggling how you can achieve to scare the shit out a lot of people (myself included) with just a stair and a mall 😂 Liminal space horror is proving to be hell of a new genre to explore. Great work as always, Kane!
I can’t get over how amazingly convincing this looks and sounds. So much attention to detail, making sure everything-lighting, textures, audio, everything-works together and is top notch. It’s such a simple concept but so well-done.
I watched at night, and my heart was beating fast out of anticipation that he was going to stumble upon a dark ritual that he was lured into being the unwitting and unwilling sacrifice of... that was nucki futts!!! It was a great enough fake to make me think it was a backrooms stairway to helll !!! I half expected him to have to run all way back up and then realize the 1 and only exit is blocked by a dark robed entity that just as he turned to face him, the hood falls revealing the terrifyingly sight of the grotesque face of a nephilim demon clown that swiftly attacks and sends the phone flying as the end o of the video!!! That was crazy!!!
Well, I am assuming the staircase is actually real. Just cut together well to make it seem endless. possible that its CGI tho. Whats obviously good editing is the hole in the ground in the grass obviously thats not where the actual staricase was located if real staircase.
Also it should be noted that past the door it looks very artificial. Before that it looks like reality. Reason is simple because of the smootheness of the surfaces.
I dont know why but during the whole video i was thinking of how the first Europeans felt exploring the inside of the pyramids, going up and down through those long stairs and halls, i would imagine they felt something similar to this dude, like if they were entering a diferent dimension or something like that especially considering all the mysticism behind the pyramids and all the astrological and religious meaning they have. Amazing.
This is what being baby movie makers is all about. It’s the absolute best. Taking real life examples and inspiration and expanding on it. He took this real abandoned mall, researched it and its fun history. Took parts of the detailed history and delved more into specifics to creates a whole new story that also encourages people to learn more about what it was was built on. I LOVE THIS
How is it that no one else has noticed the CLEAR Silent Hill aesthetics, imagery and theme. The inspiration hit me immediately. Not just the room at the bottom of the stairs, but the unnaturally long stairs themselves, placed in the middle of nowhere.. the dirt and grime... the stains.. The rust.... The pitch black shopping mall with the ethereal music playing. That darkness and otherworldly feeling of being in another dimension. Every Silent Hill fan knows this place well.
I literally came to the comments to check on Silent Hill comments, kinda disappointing that you're the only one i found, it's a clear reference to the long stairs to the prison level in SH2. And that door at the bottom is something straight out of Silent Hill
This isn't just silent hill. This is literally everything with a creepy long staircase and liminal space horror, dude. Expand your horizons beyond one game.
8:03 Fun Fact: Phosgene gas is described as having the smell of freshly cut grass or hay and is toxic, colorless, and a "heavy" gas that concentrates in low places
cool little bit i didnt even think that much about it. i thought it may have had to d o wit the smell of plants because of the rolling giant when he turns the place into a overgrown foresty area and mabey it was like that the whole time but the dude didnt perceive it as that until the end
Just finally getting around to watching this, and I loved your Backrooms stuff too! Really cracks me up that this made it onto Nuke's Top 5 as "real found footage." I think that means you've done your job exceptionally well!
You can really see how well the CGI has improved with this one and I'd love to see a behind the scenes! Only thing that set me off was the textures/material for the stairwell walls were mirrored (identical on both sides), but you would **really** have to be looking for it to actually notice. Absolutely love this video and concept!
loved the carpet. felt like you could almost see the little knots poking out. Texture for sure. Stairs were looking good, like you said the CGI has just improved over and over with Kane
@@nazthesilly I think the whole damn beginning is cgi as well. His shadow looks just a tiny bit weird with that slight wobble, the way the grass moves too uniformly. And when he reaches the big tree, the surrounding ground looks slightly flat (the sticks and rocks, as if it was just a bump mapped texture). I have NO IDEA
@@nazthesilly nah ok it's real. I focused on how the hole moves again and now i saw it clearly. I already thought at first viewing something looks off and after the second viewing i suddenly thought the whole thing was rendered
My heart beat faster the deeper he went. Normally a jump scare would relieve the tension, but without one, it just continues to build the anxiety. Damn fine work as always! Would love to see more whether it be this or any other ideas you may be concocting.
Mr. Pixels this is terrifying. I very much appreciate you working with more horror with uncanny shopping malls as a focal point, as they're the thing i have most of my unsettling dreams about. especially malls where the first and second floor are separated, the escalators and stairs only going about halfway down. I love shopping mall horror
I'm in awe of the sound editing and natural convincing language used. Two things, that others in this genre seem to struggle with. It really helps sell it. Bravo!
I was dreading a lame jumpscare all the way through, but you showed remarkable restraint by avoiding the expected. And yet I was super creeped out all the way through. This is fantastic work.
Kane really is a master of non-Euclidean horror with the way he instills fear solely with the impossible settings. The way the steps even began to warp and look more menacing as he descended was fantastic. Keep it up, I'm always ready for more of this man's work.
The level of dread I felt from the moment I saw those stairs under his feet. This made me more scared than any movie I've seen in quite awhile. The "I'm not supposed to be here." near the end was perfect. Amazing work as always Kane!!
Horror media rarely hits this hard, and one of the many reasons is that it wants to do too much too soon; this is the perfect example of *how* it's done! This is so good, absolutely chilling, makes you feel both like you're in his position and you're assisting to it, unsure of how you found the clips and what happened to him
Every time the guy's camera glitched I tensed up, like oh god here it comes, but then it didn't come and the suspense just kept building. When he looked back and commented on the huge number of stairs he just descended, I had the thought that Kane could do pretty much whatever he wanted to the guy at that point since he surely would lack the stamina to frantically run back up all those stairs, but no... the guy simply stumbles on a luxury shopping mall, one of the last things anyone would have guessed. Epic, I LOVE it! This is really truly excellent work and I can't wait to see what comes next.
yes its so cool. you expect all the horror clichees like the hole disappearing or the door closing or stuff like that and it just doesnt come. love it! instead it will probably somehow connect back to the backrooms i guess.
This is excellent. Proper people watch this and think “well done man”. That’s just my thoughts. This video hits me real deep and I love it. Very good. Inspiring.
I love how you went from VHS camcorder footage to old iphone video, makes it feel like it could have been more recent! Also, don't let the less views discourage you. Keep doing what you love, and people like me will pile in to watch whatever you make, even if it's not Backrooms related!
The first part of this new series didn't give much away, but this second installment was awesome. Great to see you bringing in the creepy liminal spaces of the backrooms into something new
Hey not to discount your comment but I think that is the backrooms the end bit at least specifically level 427 but the stairs and the fact it physically connects to the front rooms bit hard to explain so idk (could easily be completely wrong)
@@jobonotoe Sigh. The "levels" thing was a very dumb idea someone else came up with, same with all the monsters. The backrooms was ruined by edgy kids wanting to shove their uncreative ideas into the lore. But all that aside, Kane's backrooms series has NOTHING to do with the wiki.
@@WobblesandBeanthe levels thing was around long before kane pixels. I know it's not connected, most people do. So why are you even bothering to say the original backrooms lore is ruining his series?
@@jobonotoe Levels aren't a thing in this version of the backrooms. The only connection is that Kane is drawing from the same spaces shown in the OG backrooms 4chan thread. That being said, I do think you are right in the fact that this is part of the main backrooms story; just modern day. We're seeing the fallout of the project and there have been some hints that the world is merging or falling into the backrooms in the "main" series. I'm thinking with the movie in the works he can't do anything in the main time line so he's moving things forward a bit and I don't think we'll be seeing ASYNC being featured much (maybe a throw away line or a freeze frame bonus if that). So I think while this is supposed to be park of the backrooms lore, I also think Kane is gonna keep it somewhat isolated and distinct enough that it can also be seen as its own thing (probably so he doesn't write himself into a wall when he can get back to the main storyline). Basically this is cannon until it's not heh.
Walking down a ton of stairs and then saying he heard music, my mind instantly went to the part of the Black Mold series on No Sleep where the narrator does something similar and You Are My Sunshine is playing.
Ok, so this was actually incredible! The voice acting was spot on, along with the incredible creation of what is to come. The way the guy approached the hole, looking down was INCREDIBLE. Then as he made his way down those creepy flight of stairs really put me at the edge of the seat. I LOVE how this has the backrooms vibe. Maybe we will see many different environments and possible nightmare entities to come!
I know this is an interesting addition to this deep lore, but sit back and think: Random hole under a tree with stairs that just go down until you find a random wooden door that leads to a sad looking brick room that’s connected to an elaborate shopping area This is what minecraft looks IRL 😝
I'm glad you're branching off into making brand new and exciting content, Kane! I was worried that you might feel like you're forced to do Backrooms content, but I want you to know that's not the case. You're incredibly talented and this is your platform, do what feels right to you! :D
@@DoctorNoon2717 But that's the point, he's young and people can be shitty. His Backrooms content is fantastic and skyrocketed him to success, but sometimes people get whiny and only want that content and not something else. I'm sorry if my comment came across as patronising, I genuinely just want the kid to be doing okay. :)
@@mogy7331hes not, he wont be an adult for another month. also calling 18 and 19 year olds "kid" is normal since they're very early in their adulthood and are still technically a teen
So every light he passed had about 16 stairs between each one. The first staircase I think had 13 lights. And the second staircase once he turned left had 16 lights including the ones that were turned off up until the staircase goes pitch black. Then if you look closely at the stairs past the pitch blackness, every 10th step has a very clear white edge to the step and he goes down 10 of those making it 100. 13 lights * 16 steps per light is 208 steps, 16 lights * 16 steps per light is 256 steps, plus the 100 steps he went down after the lights went out, so I think he went down approximately 564 steps, the average height of a single step is 7.5 inches so 564 * 7.5 is 4,230 inches, which is 352.5 feet down. Just my observation, its probably slightly inaccurate.
thank you for doing the math for me, I was curious as to just how deep down he'd be going, ~360 feet down is uh, DEEP. Wyatt must never skip leg day to handle all these stairs so well

The scariest part is having to walk up all those stairs again, poor bastard

Yeah that gave me real anxiety, it just keeps building tension.
The level at which the stairs descend into the earth along with the ominous lighting really give the feeling that Wyatt is descending into a grave.
especially at the 6 minute mark the walls resemble a mausoleum. like a sealed tomb where it is sacreligeous to step
Moral of the story: Don’t trespass UNLESS there’s a really cool tunnel involved.
The staircase reminds me of how I mine underground in Minecraft. I do sometimes forget to put on some torches on some steps
Good way of putting it.

Bro, how is this CGI
@@courtneybrooker588 no idea. Computer graphics are completely insane these days. Especially when it doesn't need to be rendered in real time like a video game.
The CGI work turned out so convincing and realistic, I'm really blown away. It's so interesting and so unsettling at the same time. It's not because Kane has to use stupid jumpscares, it's because of the mood, the sound design and the liminal spaces. Overwhelming, I'm so glad that something like this exists.

@@reidhanson4755 really, I thought the hole cgi/real mash up was pretty seamless. The only thing I thought was a bit braking was the door at the end it seemed unnatural and flat.
Not really great. But it's the narrative that drives it.
You can see the repeating marks and damage in the stairs as he descends.
@@reidhanson4755 do u have to know coding to do that stuff
I like to think just how absurdly dangerous these stairs would be. If you notice, they are not uniform in height or length. It seems subtle but it really throws you off. Medieval castles would deliberately do this to make it more difficult for invaders. Combine that with an absurdly long, uninterrupted staircase without handrails. It's a recipe for disaster. Imagine a group walking them. The more people, the more dangerous they become. If just one were to misstep and tumble, it would take out everybody in the group beneath them.
I'd also like to point out their appears to be wear and tear patterns on the stairs from many people going up and down them. Lotsa traffic to one area, then it all just stopped.
To fix this, do the four limbed climb you did as a child so you would be faster!

@@KenzieIsKenzie Still do the 4 limb climb to this day as a 35 year old time to time
Literally just duck onto your butt and you won't fall down the stairs even if someone else falls into you.
The absolute terror in his voice as he rounded the corner on the staircase and realized how huge it actually was so realistic. Phenomenal acting.

I was just thinking that this is one of the few successful attempts at capturing Lovecraftian horror through film
Wdym by "Mankind"?
@@LgdFantathe term mankind is typically associated with the entirety of the human race although humankind is also a usable term the term mankind has been used for much longer so it is more often used over humankind (edit: the fact that this is a H. P. Lovecraft quote means that it’s even more obvious why the term mankind is used here because throughout history the only feminists were either monarchs or outcasts so nobody would be like “don’t you mean humankind?” because that would be weird at the time)
@@labfire8964yeah, women really didn't have a say in anything until recent history. Entire mass femicides were common throughout the last few thousand years and we don't even remember. Why even care about an alternate term when they weren't even seen as serious people? I think they're just being facetious for fun.
@@LgdFanta oh no someone used an adequate term but you, a permavictim, has to be offended by it. Believe it or not, women are also part of mankind
This is absolutely amazing. The footage, the suspense, the mood. No cheap jumpscares, just the human curiosity together with the fear of the unknown. Superb!
oh there's no jumpscares? nice...
Nothings wrong with a good jumpscare
You gotta admit, a well-placed jumpscare here would've given anybody a heartattack
Curiosity killed the human.
I had to look at this comment halfway through the video to confirm cheap jumpscares before I continued watching lmao
The dialogue is the best part of these videos. It's so insanely natural. The way it sounds like the youtuber is actually THINKING about what to say, making mistakes, changing his mind... Trying to think of ways to explain what's going on and how to make it entertaining. It's amazing how natural it sounds. It sounds like an actual UA-cam video of some guy trespassing to show a cool tunnel.
The fact that as the video goes on he starts to speak more and more quietly, showing himself more and more apprehensive, rambling about random things so as not to show fear...
This is the dude who needs to make House of Leaves into a movie or a series.
that would defeat the point of HoL, but yeah he definitely would kill it if he made a film
God that's so true! That would be amazing eh.

How does this man manage to create some of the most suspenseful horror sequences I’ve ever seen out of just walking down some stairs
Cause you're simping for Kane lol
@@philyjfry def no true this is talent
@@jayhardline7557 lol same thing was said about his Backrooms series. Which was mediocre in the end. Well made? Sure. Good original story? Not at all.

I get such House of Leaves vibes when he's going down the stairs, but when he enters the door suddenly it feels like someone wanted to know what Silent Hill would feel like if it were empty. Pure chills.
I mean... RIGHT?? I kept thinking of this as "The Five and a Half Minute Hallway"
For me it's like a movie Barbarian
In the book the oldest recorded instance of the house is a staircase leading into the ground
what is it with the recent boost in horror inspired by house of leaves?
eh it is a good book, im not complaining.
What’s house of leaves?
I’m freaking out over the cgi. This is amazing!!! I couldn’t wait to finish this video before commenting, I just had to compliment this.

**proceeds to go back for streaming and dies**
That’s what she said
The last part where the mall is revealed and the music fades in completely is just brilliant. My favorite scene in the whole series. You’re brilliant, my man.
I love how the door and room at the bottom of the stairs is a symbol for the transition into a world of nothing but death and decay. Shit looks like a decrepit sewer or crematorium or a dungeon or something. The filth covering the walls and the wrought iron gate, juxtaposed against the “clean” but barren aesthetic of the stores in the mall, my god. The blue gray carpet, the little piles of random garbage littered around the carpet which is exactly what you would see in an abandoned mall. The attention to detail is insane. We’re so lucky to have you Kane.
Kane is a master at suspenseful horror, no jump scares, literally just a guy walking down an incredibly long flight of stairs and then finding what looks like an abandoned shopping mall. The whole time I was wondering when someone was going to be at the top of the stairs leaving that guy with no where to go.
Molemen gotta shop too.
Indeed, Kane has quickly cemented himself as a sort of auteur in my eyes.
Kane is master
@@nightowlfm auteur what is that?
1. Creepy atmosphere
2. Nothing happens
Ta-da! Suspenseful horror. Thank you for attending my Masterclass, that'll be £400.
He knows exactly what we want and he delivers, despite what holds him back due to the partnership with A24. Thank you, Kane.
I'm still upset about that. A24 should have let him continue making the Backrooms series, no matter how good his other stuff is it will never reach the views of the Backrooms stuff. They're essentially screwing over his revenue stream AND his passion project.
@@WobblesandBean my Theory is it just has an other Name because he Cant call it backrooms but it is still the Same
Like the whole vibe of the staircase and the mall gives me the backrooms feeling
And it would fit pretty good to it
huh? lol is there a link about it?
@@ashxxiv Yea, anywhere on the internet. He's making a movie cooperating with a24 but they don't allow him to produce content here on the channel, hence no backrooms uploads.
@@WobblesandBean It was his choice, though?
I have just been suggested this by my friend after retelling him a nightmare I had months ago and by far the scariest part is the idea of having to go back up all those stairs.
Fantastic work, this looks SO good.
This is no longer analog horror, this digital horror; The physical details of the tunnel are insane, every step looks wore down and different.
The further he went down those stairs, the more uncomfortable I got. Claustrophobia and the thought of being trapped deep underground are definitely things that get to me. And just... things that don't make any goddamn sense. Not to mention the thought of encountering a person in a place you're not supposed to be... or something else.
Excellent work as always, Kane. Looking forward to the next one!
me too, i was otp w my friend i thought i was the only one..
Imagine falling down those stairs. It would've been terrible.
What started to get me was the never ending fear of a jumpscare. Every corner, every little hole I expected something but there is nothing even 8 minutes in..
@@SnevilGrey imagine riding a sled down those stairs. It would be fun till you reach the end.
@@jwalster9412 Oh my
The fact i was HOOKED to a video of a person walking down stone stairs speaks volumes. This new series has filled me with intrigue beyond words.
The dry trail surrounded by high grass in the first part of the video invokes such powerful nostalgia to a place I know isn’t actually there anymore. China Camp Beach in California had a trail so similar to that that I still know what it smelled like to be there. I still know how it felt to carry a paddle board on my shoulder, to feel the little pricks on my feet from all the burrs in the grass. I haven’t been to California, much less China Camp Beach in several years, and I may never be there again. Even still, this is powerful stuff, and it connects dots I had forgotten the location of. Rat Rock Island, a tiny rocky outcropping in the water that the geese would nest on. The tiny, grassy beach with dense clay and silt rather than sand. Even the little red streaks of blood from the clams I stepped on are glowing through rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia. It’s such a brief moment in this series, and yet it is everything to me.
I was at my office late at night last night and while I was returning from the restroom. I heard the loud, unmistakable sound of caster wheels from gthe cleaning crew and immediately turned around super quick thinking I’d see homeboy. LOL
this is actually insane. no jumpscares, no entities, nothing that can be traditionally considered scary. but it might be your most terrifying video yet. fantastic work.
Well,for children,with weak hearts lol It's just some dumb ass CGI shit.Looks,and sounds like garbage blowing in the wind.
What do you mean? Tension is one if the foundations of traditional horror.
@@chaotixthefox absolutely, but in traditional horror the tension is a tool. it’s a lead up to the scare. this video is like a song with no resolving chords.
Can we get PART 2
I watched that, like 2 AM, Alone! And It scared the shirt out of me.
I like how Kane knows exactly what we want and finds a way to work around the Backrooms and A24 to give it to us. And on top of that, it gives us a completely new mystery to ponder.
He’s definitely talented!! I could never come up with this stuff like this.
The underrooms??
Was trying to piece it together, from what I gathered the first door seemed to enter into some kind of decontamination chamber? Seemed to me like some weird convoluted bomb shelter complete with shopping center lol
I feel like mentioning the smell of cut grass might have something to with the mechanical purpose of "grass smell". The smell of cut grass is a defense mechanism evolved by plants, intended to alert predators to the presence of prey animals. In this context, maybe it's intended to serve as a warning to anyone who enters here.
I like the fact that it starts like I’m actually watching a vlog, and the fact that you can combine the real world with cgi is amazing.
Man, with the other videos there was a degree to which I could figure out it was just an animation posing as hyperreality, but in this one I couldn't tell how much of it was practical or not. The stairs and the textures look so convincing but it shouldn't be. That inability to really tell what's real or not adds a lot to the liminal space horror.
For real. The first like minute of this upload I was unsure, whether or not he decided to blend actual real footage with the cgi stuff he creates. That driving footage in the beginning is pretty convincing if it wasn't real...
buzzword buzzword buzzword, are you are a effect nerd too? the film maker has to be one but for us it should not be about the special effects "hyperreality" "practical" "liminal space horror" give me a break dude

This is genuinely impressive, I don’t know how you managed to make a 3d environment look so real especially the stairs, but as someone who’s currently studying this sort of stuff congratulations.
Right?
I was very impressed with what seemed to be completely unique models throughout the entire thing- I wasn't able to find any tiling or repeated elements
@Makutus the repeating stair steps caught my eye immediately. But video was still great!
@@Creackerr Good eye- I didn't see any, myself. I did see a mirrored wall texture on the next video, though
Yeah I feel like it's difficult to make basic empty rooms look natural and detailed
Edit: at 8:10 I noticed the texture repeats so it's just a really good wall texture used there and not some procedural thing. Also I assume the stairs are photogrammetry
it's called artificial intelligence, no training required
i used to slide down the stairs with a lid from a container and that would look fun to slide down (with proper safety of course)
I absolutely love your incorporation of abandoned malls to this series! I remember watching footage of carousel mall before it got demolished, and this vid definitely captures the essence of it so well!
Kane figured out that a lot of his Backrooms viewers also frequent other liminal space channels, like the dudes who explore old abandoned shopping malls. The man is single-handedly pioneering the Liminal Horror genre
"Pioneering" means being the first to do something. Kane isn't "pioneering" anything here, but he is taking the genre to a more technically competent and engaging place. He's raising the bar.
@PBJ AND A HIGHFIVE if he's introducing a new approach to the genre, then you could consider him a pioneer too
@@INRamos13 y'all need to pick up a dictionary once in a while

I honestly love this series, please continue!!
First time watching and I have to applaud you for the staircase in the woods but it goes down instead of up to nowhere. I feel like that reminder to never trust stairs in the woods in the back of your head as you're watching this is ever present. I love the exploration horror. This is amazing.
I love this new direction kane is going in, he isn't sticking to the backrooms and what will get the most views, he's doing what he wants and that's what film making and UA-cam is really about.
Agree, a creator should not stuck at one topic. He can come back to do backrooms later.
Also, Backrooms is under contract now and so he's probably limited in what he can do or say with that universe.
He’s under NDA with A24 is the real reason
@@opinion56 100%
I predicted his backrooms series would end up like his attack on titan series
The camera effects and movement are always just incredibly realistic
The texture and model work too but the fact it looks so real is absurd
Yeah the texture of the wall on the lower part of the stairs seemed not as good as the rest but otherwise really fantastic
@@moneyboyreups only part that seemed vaguely unrealistic to me was the entrance to the tunnel from inside
That was all
Wait… it’s not real?
Before the stairs it is live action.
The camera zoom lowering the quality and noise make it seem too real
12:05 most genuine reaction
I honestly like this even more than the backrooms stuff, its so uncanny and realistic. There's no monsters or corporations, just a purely unexplainable exploration of a mysterious location. You are genuinely such a skilled film maker with a passion for creativity!
wym its real life lol

You can see the ball on the floor at 8:55 dude.
Came back to rewatch this before I watched the newest video and I couldn’t help but think…. If I were descending those stairs, I’d get vertigo or trip and just tumble down for infinity 😂😂
This could be just as compelling as his Backrooms videos if not BETTER. This is new and fresh yet has the same charm as the Backrooms videos. I was a bit worried Kane was gonna do something too different that strays from what brought people to his channel, but oh no, this seems to have everything that the Backrooms series did. I CANNOT WAIT for Part 3, but who knows how long that could take to produce!!
This could very well connect to the backrooms eventually!
@@maidanorgua there actually is a backrooms level which is an abandoned mall
This is no glitch into the back rooms though. But that hole might be the glitch.
@zlxc_3803
I'm hoping this is an isolated series from the backrooms! I think Kane is the king of backrooms content because he doesn't buy into the "levels", which I think detract from the concept. I love abandoned malls and I like horror based on it, but I'd personally prefer that it remains standalone and not associated with yellow walls or hazmat suits per se.
I can't believe Kane is 106 years old!
Good to see him still productive after all these years.
He's that old, wow!
wow, never imagined a 106 year old man making such awesome films on youtube!

@@Starized-go_sub bro he is 106 years old, what tf are you on
7:01 notice the skull(?) on the wall to his left and a line right above it
Also another thing I noticed was weird was that he said it was colder as he went down and at 8:02 he said it smelled like "cut grass"
I never realized it was possible to scare the hell out of people without entities or jumpscares. Kane Pixels has mastered the art of horror! It is insane how the thought of no entity is scarier than one.
That's when you know horror has been done right. Everyone can get a jolt out of people with a jumpscare or chasing people.
But to truly terrify people when nothing is happening is the best kind of horror IMO, because it seeps into your bones.
Does Sun Tzu have an art for fighting horrors? - kane pixels the art of horror

I've been pondering how the heck you managed to literally do this so damn well from start to finish, but honestly? All I care is that you keep doing what you're doing. You're doing some magic with what has to be a fun combination of practical and digital effects, and I'm all for it.
Maybe Kane is a lizard person and this is a actual entrance to one of their underground cities

I NEVER would have gone down those stairs alone. Heck, at all!
It's suspenseful I wouldn't exactly call it scary though
the amount of effort that is put into this is insane and it shows. It feels so real and the detail is phenomenal.
I m in love. Fascinating 💙
I can’t get over how amazingly convincing this looks and sounds. So much attention to detail, making sure everything-lighting, textures, audio, everything-works together and is top notch. It’s such a simple concept but so well-done.
Even tho every ten steps repeat over and over? It’s cool but it’s hardly convincing.
I watched at night, and my heart was beating fast out of anticipation that he was going to stumble upon a dark ritual that he was lured into being the unwitting and unwilling sacrifice of... that was nucki futts!!!
It was a great enough fake to make me think it was a backrooms stairway to helll
!!! I half expected him to have to run all way back up and then realize the 1 and only exit is blocked by a dark robed entity that just as he turned to face him, the hood falls revealing the terrifyingly sight of the grotesque face of a nephilim demon clown that swiftly attacks and sends the phone flying as the end o of the video!!!
That was crazy!!!
Well, I am assuming the staircase is actually real. Just cut together well to make it seem endless. possible that its CGI tho. Whats obviously good editing is the hole in the ground in the grass obviously thats not where the actual staricase was located if real staircase.
Also it should be noted that past the door it looks very artificial.
Before that it looks like reality.
Reason is simple because of the smootheness of the surfaces.
@@CaptainMyCaptain33 Make it better then, Captain.
I dont know why but during the whole video i was thinking of how the first Europeans felt exploring the inside of the pyramids, going up and down through those long stairs and halls, i would imagine they felt something similar to this dude, like if they were entering a diferent dimension or something like that especially considering all the mysticism behind the pyramids and all the astrological and religious meaning they have. Amazing.
Yeah, no…. The Europeans were aware the pyramids existed. This is different.
It must've been wild when they found the pharaoh's hidden shopping mall at the top of the pyramid
This is what being baby movie makers is all about. It’s the absolute best. Taking real life examples and inspiration and expanding on it. He took this real abandoned mall, researched it and its fun history. Took parts of the detailed history and delved more into specifics to creates a whole new story that also encourages people to learn more about what it was was built on. I LOVE THIS
absolutely love your vids cant wait for more
How is it that no one else has noticed the CLEAR Silent Hill aesthetics, imagery and theme. The inspiration hit me immediately. Not just the room at the bottom of the stairs, but the unnaturally long stairs themselves, placed in the middle of nowhere.. the dirt and grime... the stains..
The rust....
The pitch black shopping mall with the ethereal music playing. That darkness and otherworldly feeling of being in another dimension. Every Silent Hill fan knows this place well.
I literally came to the comments to check on Silent Hill comments, kinda disappointing that you're the only one i found, it's a clear reference to the long stairs to the prison level in SH2. And that door at the bottom is something straight out of Silent Hill
This isn't just silent hill. This is literally everything with a creepy long staircase and liminal space horror, dude. Expand your horizons beyond one game.
This house has people in it, Tim and Eric, Adult Swim "off the air" series.. great stuff! Hollywood can't hold a candle to this
@@oopsallchromosomes8994ever heard of the word 'inspiration'?
The tiled room at the bottom immediately made me think Silent Hill 3 but then again my brain is 80% Silent Hill.
8:03 Fun Fact: Phosgene gas is described as having the smell of freshly cut grass or hay and is toxic, colorless, and a "heavy" gas that concentrates in low places
cool little bit i didnt even think that much about it. i thought it may have had to d o wit the smell of plants because of the rolling giant when he turns the place into a overgrown foresty area and mabey it was like that the whole time but the dude didnt perceive it as that until the end
Just finally getting around to watching this, and I loved your Backrooms stuff too! Really cracks me up that this made it onto Nuke's Top 5 as "real found footage." I think that means you've done your job exceptionally well!
wait which video
Glad this wasn’t random photos and spooky scenes. Wyatts joking and editing really make the ending hit.
You can really see how well the CGI has improved with this one and I'd love to see a behind the scenes! Only thing that set me off was the textures/material for the stairwell walls were mirrored (identical on both sides), but you would **really** have to be looking for it to actually notice. Absolutely love this video and concept!
loved the carpet. felt like you could almost see the little knots poking out. Texture for sure. Stairs were looking good, like you said the CGI has just improved over and over with Kane
only issue i saw was that the hole is a little off on its motion tracking and wobbles a little bit, great video though
@@nazthesilly I think the whole damn beginning is cgi as well. His shadow looks just a tiny bit weird with that slight wobble, the way the grass moves too uniformly. And when he reaches the big tree, the surrounding ground looks slightly flat (the sticks and rocks, as if it was just a bump mapped texture). I have NO IDEA
@@nazthesilly nah ok it's real. I focused on how the hole moves again and now i saw it clearly. I already thought at first viewing something looks off and after the second viewing i suddenly thought the whole thing was rendered
Only thing off is the fps of the motion tracking - feels too smooth compared to the rest of the footage
My heart beat faster the deeper he went. Normally a jump scare would relieve the tension, but without one, it just continues to build the anxiety. Damn fine work as always! Would love to see more whether it be this or any other ideas you may be concocting.
I wanna see the mall-Wha? The video ended!? Aw man.
Best thing about Kane's work: he doesn't ever have to rely on jump scares.
I lost it at the curved stairs on the right. That and the ambient sound ruined me.
Mr. Pixels this is terrifying. I very much appreciate you working with more horror with uncanny shopping malls as a focal point, as they're the thing i have most of my unsettling dreams about. especially malls where the first and second floor are separated, the escalators and stairs only going about halfway down. I love shopping mall horror
I love your stuff so much.
This is so different. It's like dream horror. Just the feeling of 'This isn't right'
I'm in awe of the sound editing and natural convincing language used. Two things, that others in this genre seem to struggle with. It really helps sell it. Bravo!
It makes it look real!
I was dreading a lame jumpscare all the way through, but you showed remarkable restraint by avoiding the expected. And yet I was super creeped out all the way through. This is fantastic work.
Yes!!
You are genius Kane, thanks a lot. This is Art.
This blows my mind Kane keep it up! ❤
Kane really is a master of non-Euclidean horror with the way he instills fear solely with the impossible settings. The way the steps even began to warp and look more menacing as he descended was fantastic. Keep it up, I'm always ready for more of this man's work.

The level of dread I felt from the moment I saw those stairs under his feet. This made me more scared than any movie I've seen in quite awhile. The "I'm not supposed to be here." near the end was perfect. Amazing work as always Kane!!
This series is so great! Can’t wait for the Youngest Look
Horror media rarely hits this hard, and one of the many reasons is that it wants to do too much too soon; this is the perfect example of *how* it's done! This is so good, absolutely chilling, makes you feel both like you're in his position and you're assisting to it, unsure of how you found the clips and what happened to him
I love the contrast of how sunny and safe the forest is with how dark and unnerving the tunnel is, like going from heaven straight into hell
Every time the guy's camera glitched I tensed up, like oh god here it comes, but then it didn't come and the suspense just kept building. When he looked back and commented on the huge number of stairs he just descended, I had the thought that Kane could do pretty much whatever he wanted to the guy at that point since he surely would lack the stamina to frantically run back up all those stairs, but no... the guy simply stumbles on a luxury shopping mall, one of the last things anyone would have guessed. Epic, I LOVE it! This is really truly excellent work and I can't wait to see what comes next.
yes its so cool. you expect all the horror clichees like the hole disappearing or the door closing or stuff like that and it just doesnt come. love it! instead it will probably somehow connect back to the backrooms i guess.
I was noticing that and thought it was me. Love how Kane molds everything together like this
This is excellent. Proper people watch this and think “well done man”. That’s just my thoughts. This video hits me real deep and I love it. Very good. Inspiring.
The staircase scene is so well done. You genuinely can't tell whether he's going up or down.
I love how you went from VHS camcorder footage to old iphone video, makes it feel like it could have been more recent!
Also, don't let the less views discourage you. Keep doing what you love, and people like me will pile in to watch whatever you make, even if it's not Backrooms related!

@@jobonotoe Sigh. The "levels" thing was a very dumb idea someone else came up with, same with all the monsters. The backrooms was ruined by edgy kids wanting to shove their uncreative ideas into the lore.
But all that aside, Kane's backrooms series has NOTHING to do with the wiki.
@@WobblesandBeanthe levels thing was around long before kane pixels. I know it's not connected, most people do. So why are you even bothering to say the original backrooms lore is ruining his series?
@@jobonotoe Levels aren't a thing in this version of the backrooms. The only connection is that Kane is drawing from the same spaces shown in the OG backrooms 4chan thread.
That being said, I do think you are right in the fact that this is part of the main backrooms story; just modern day. We're seeing the fallout of the project and there have been some hints that the world is merging or falling into the backrooms in the "main" series.
I'm thinking with the movie in the works he can't do anything in the main time line so he's moving things forward a bit and I don't think we'll be seeing ASYNC being featured much (maybe a throw away line or a freeze frame bonus if that). So I think while this is supposed to be park of the backrooms lore, I also think Kane is gonna keep it somewhat isolated and distinct enough that it can also be seen as its own thing (probably so he doesn't write himself into a wall when he can get back to the main storyline). Basically this is cannon until it's not heh.
Walking down a ton of stairs and then saying he heard music, my mind instantly went to the part of the Black Mold series on No Sleep where the narrator does something similar and You Are My Sunshine is playing.
I absolutely love this series so far. I have also just noticed that you can hear the rolling giant. Either way, I hope you make a part four soon.
Ok, so this was actually incredible! The voice acting was spot on, along with the incredible creation of what is to come. The way the guy approached the hole, looking down was INCREDIBLE. Then as he made his way down those creepy flight of stairs really put me at the edge of the seat. I LOVE how this has the backrooms vibe. Maybe we will see many different environments and possible nightmare entities to come!
Well…we found out. This did lead to one of the most unsettling nightmare entities I’ve ever seen

That sad looking brick room resembles a concentration camp death shower. So uh.
@@nachgebenDid those have wooden doors too?
@@BananaHoardXYes
@@nachgeben ikr? It looked like there were vents at the top of the ceiling, near the door. And there's floor drains... 😬
@@nachgeben It is litteraly a normal shower, I've seen showers exactly like this in real life.
the turn at the bottom of the first set of stairs revealing the rest of the way down is so simple but so gut wrenching.
He barely mentions the fact he’s further down than a mine would go. He’s Pretty chill about the whole situation, which is crazy.
I'm glad you're branching off into making brand new and exciting content, Kane! I was worried that you might feel like you're forced to do Backrooms content, but I want you to know that's not the case. You're incredibly talented and this is your platform, do what feels right to you! :D
He's been doing this since he was 14, he's quite alright
@@DoctorNoon2717 But that's the point, he's young and people can be shitty. His Backrooms content is fantastic and skyrocketed him to success, but sometimes people get whiny and only want that content and not something else.
I'm sorry if my comment came across as patronising, I genuinely just want the kid to be doing okay. :)
@@caramellpanda I like how you said about patronising and then call him a kid. He is literally an adult now show some respect
@@mogy7331hes not, he wont be an adult for another month. also calling 18 and 19 year olds "kid" is normal since they're very early in their adulthood and are still technically a teen
He can't make actual "backrooms" content at the moment so he is improvising with a similar theme with a twist.
So every light he passed had about 16 stairs between each one. The first staircase I think had 13 lights. And the second staircase once he turned left had 16 lights including the ones that were turned off up until the staircase goes pitch black. Then if you look closely at the stairs past the pitch blackness, every 10th step has a very clear white edge to the step and he goes down 10 of those making it 100. 13 lights * 16 steps per light is 208 steps, 16 lights * 16 steps per light is 256 steps, plus the 100 steps he went down after the lights went out, so I think he went down approximately 564 steps, the average height of a single step is 7.5 inches so 564 * 7.5 is 4,230 inches, which is 352.5 feet down. Just my observation, its probably slightly inaccurate.
thank you for doing the math for me, I was curious as to just how deep down he'd be going, ~360 feet down is uh, DEEP. Wyatt must never skip leg day to handle all these stairs so well
no way bro did the math😭😭
By the way, the Statue of Liberty is 305.5 feet tall
Wyatt must have the legs of fucking Pheidippides
meters please? 😂
