Episode Details

Two indie horror gems, “Backrooms” and “Obsession,” are smashing box office records on tiny budgets—proving that viral creators can outperform studios. “Backrooms,” a psychological maze thriller from a 20-year-old director, opened to $81M and now sits at $118M worldwide, smashing A24’s biggest debut. “Obsession,” made for under $1M, is climbing past $100M domestically and now Focus Features’ highest-grossing film ever—with ticket sales even rising in its second and third weekends. These hits show audiences crave fresh, original scares—and that the internet’s power can turn bedroom projects into billion-dollar blockbusters.
