Now that Backrooms has been a hit, I wonder if we’ll ever get a House of Leaves movie, which was somewhat of an inspiration for the original backrooms lore.

- smithcoin 4mo agoI swear I used to see shorts or reels with a Kevin Bacon version of the House of Leaves story
- squidsoup 4mo agoHouse of Leaves form of hypertextual academic satire is so firmly bound to the written word that it would be un-filmable, but you could make a film from the Navidson Record (and it would potentially be much more interesting than Backrooms).
- deadbabe 4mo agoThe Navidson Record is the most interesting part of House of Leaves. Everything else is pretentious literary indulgence.
- Jordan-117 4mo agoI recall Danielewski sharing a spec script for a possible TV series some years ago. Appropriately, it referenced itself and treated the show as a real thing within its own universe. In the meantime, claymation studio Laika has a faithful adaptation of "Piranesi" in the pipeline. It's more dreamlike and beautiful than gothic horror, but it does center on a similar concept of an infinite structure existing beyond physically reality that reflects human thought in enigmatic ways.
