Hollywood is tapping into the deeper recesses of analog horror with a resurgence of adaptations, thanks to Backrooms‘ breakout success. What was once considered niche is about to go mainstream, spurred by hits like the V/H/S franchise, Skinamarink, and Late Night with the Devil.

One franchise is now getting a major boost after legendary director Steven Spielberg threw his hat in the ring.
