We're joined by Alex Skopic of Current Affairs Magazine to discuss the viral creepypasta and now major motion picture: Backrooms. Step in, get lost, discuss the cultural implications of a world increasingly indifferentiable from a long-closed retail store in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

We're hosting a worker appreciation pizza party in the backrooms. More info at: @horrorvangaurd on Instagram and bsky

The new home for Horror Vanguard just might be the past, or, rather, how our present desires shape and mediate what comes to pass as a "past." In any event, is that the Left Page's music I hear?
