5 TV Shows To Watch If You Like Backrooms

For fans of the eerie atmosphere and unsettling vibes portrayed in the movie Backrooms, there are several television shows that capture a similar liminal horror experience. One such series is Syfy's anthology show, Channel Zero. Though not as well-known as it once was, this four-season horror gem offers compelling, season-long stories that even seasoned horror fans will appreciate. The second season, No-End House, is particularly recommended for Backrooms enthusiasts.

Another show worth checking out is Apple TV's sci-fi thriller, Severance. The plot of this series involves workers of a company called Lumon who undergo a process called severance, splitting their consciousness into two parts: one that exists within the workplace and another in the outside world. The Lumon workplace, with its cold, sterile design and clinical feel, resembles a liminal space, making it a fitting counterpart to the Backrooms concept.

Twin Peaks, a David Lynch masterpiece, is also known for its unsettling tone and liminal vibes. The town of Twin Peaks, with its supernatural forces lurking beneath its seemingly normal exterior, embodies the liminal space concept, particularly in the eerie Red Room within the Black Lodge. Additionally, episodes like "Where Is Everybody?" and "Little Girl Lost" showcase these liminal aspects, providing a glimpse into the show's ability to create an unsettling, disorienting atmosphere reminiscent of the Backrooms.
