Backrooms, sometimes referred to as Kane Pixels' Backrooms to distinguish it from the creepypasta as a whole, is a semi-anthological web series created by American YouTuber and filmmaker Kane Parsons. It is inspired by the Backrooms creepypasta. The series debuted in 2022 with the short film "The Backrooms (Found Footage)", which has 72 million views as of March 2026. Parsons would expand his series to include twenty-two more short films. The series is slated for a film adaptation with Parsons set to direct, alongside A24 producing. In January 2023, the series entered a hiatus that lasted until a new installment premiered in September 2024.

The series primarily revolves around Async, a fictional research institute that discovers the Backrooms (in-universe referred to as "the Complex") and attempts to document and research it.
