Ditto. What am I supposed to make of this:
> This time, I found a level called The Crystal Fields (Level 894). It consists of 300,000 square miles of waving emerald grass dotted by modern windmills, with blue crystal growths spawning throughout. It’s a place of calm, barring the threat of Krystalrs. What are Krystalrs? Giant crystal spiders that burrow underground and cause hallucinations. Also an orb named Jason lives here.
Are the bland writings of 12 year olds noteworthy now? It’s a wiki of bad fiction? As far as I can there’s there’s not even a story. Is it supposed to be scary? And now there’s a movie?
- pimlottc 2y agoThat it’s bad is indeed the authors point: > A common axiom about horror movies is that they become less scary when you see the monster, when it stops lurking and becomes a presence on the screen. This is so far beyond that. The Backrooms Wiki not only shows us the monster, but cages it and transports it to a medical campus where you, the reader, are invited to participate in its dissection, as well as a week-long symposium detailing its anatomy. With footnotes from the writer detailing its creation. It’s an absurd degree of telling, not showing.
- whythre 2y agoIf something is purposefully bad in order to prove some ironic meta narrative point, it’s just bad.
