The Backrooms and Skinamarink are both classified as horror.

The movies, sure, but the Backrooms as a concept (and by extension liminal spaces in general) are not necessarily horror.

I don't find them "scary" but I do find them disconcerting.

  • Backrooms started from a photo of a liminal space but was introduced from a creepypasta and a thread on a paranormal board, it's always been horror adjacent.
