After becoming the highest-grossing film in A24 history with an incredible $367 million worldwide box office haul, Backrooms has officially arrived on Digital. The hit horror film from first-time feature director Kane Parsons became available to rent or buy at home earlier this week (on July 14), giving audiences their first chance to watch the viral creepypasta adaptation without heading to a theatre.
Now, A24 has also revealed that Backrooms is getting an A24 Shop Exclusive Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD release, complete with nearly three hours of bonus features, including the “Everything Must Go” footage that had previously been promoted as a theatrical exclusive. For fans who skipped the recent re-release or wanted to revisit those extra scenes, the footage won’t remain exclusive to theatres after all.
When is Backrooms coming to Blu-ray and 4K?
A24 has opened pre-orders for exclusive Blu-ray and 4K editions through the A24 Shop. The studio expects to begin shipping copies in late August.
Each edition includes collectible packaging and six exclusive postcards alongside an extensive collection of behind-the-scenes material.

What is Backrooms about?
Based on Kane Parsons’ massively popular Kane Pixels YouTube series, Backrooms follows the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, a furniture showroom hiding a doorway to an endless labyrinth of unsettling liminal spaces. Once inside, he finds himself trapped in a surreal nightmare where every hallway leads deeper into an impossible world.
The film stars:
- Chiwetel Ejiofor
- Renate Reinsve
From YouTube phenomenon to box office sensation
Few horror films have enjoyed a rise quite like Backrooms. Parsons’ original YouTube series debuted in 2022 and has accumulated more than 190 million views, helping transform the internet’s most famous creepypasta into one of 2026’s biggest theatrical success stories.
Produced for a modest budget, the film has now earned approximately $367 million worldwide, making it not only one of the year’s biggest horror hits but also the highest-grossing release in A24’s history.
