In an effort to capitalize more on the formidable momentum of the horror blockbuster Backrooms, Kane Parsons decided to release a surprisingly new version of the movie, Backrooms: Everything Must Go, which has 15 minutes of additional video, in theaters. Since its May 29 release, Parsons' feature film debut has been breaking box office records, and the franchise, which began as a YouTube series, has gained a whole new fan base.

Now, this newfound fandom has just one question right now: what will be new in these extra 15 minutes?

On Friday, viewers were given an expanded cut of Kane Parsons’ horror hit, Backrooms: Everything Must Go, which came with an additional 15 minutes of post-credit content. A group of workers from the Async Research Institute enters the Backrooms at the start of the new piece of content. At the end of the film, Mary makes her getaway and meets Async researcher Phil in a secluded area, revealing Async as the company in charge of opening the Backrooms' portal.

The introduction of the post-credits scene clearly places the to-be-seen events on June 18, 1990. A group of Async workers in hazmat suits start investigating the area, as one of them holds the camera. The signs seem just like the ones that were previously on display in Clark's store, where he poses as a ship captain in an attempt to draw clients to his failing enterprise. Dr. McCarthy is eager to examine the indicators for himself, according to the voice-over, which was recorded like an on-duty log.

They decided to look into the three signs the following day. They attempt to determine if they are repeated copies of a single item or whether they were unique in the area from which they were copied. The signs are arranged in descending order. After determining that the signs were screen-printed and suspended from steel wires, an off-screen voice directs the workers to break through the fourth wall because they think another fourth sign is there, to their success.

The exploration does not end here, and they find more about the signs as they venture further.

As they move forward, they see a hand protruding from a beam, which is also visible in the wood paneling inside the wall. Despite the central narrator's panic, the squad proceeds as directed by their superiors. The hand appears to be that of a mannequin standing next to a ship's steering wheel on the opposite side. Also in the new space are more signs, coat racks, and lawn furniture.

The Async personnel begin to hear a disturbance in the distance, but keep searching to uncover another mannequin and a driving wheel, this time half-submerged in the floor, and subsequently a TV, flashing between a blue screen and flashes of seemingly random film. The crew is told to leave by the increasingly loud clanging, but as they start to leave, a figure suddenly appears, sending the team members and the camera flying to the ground.

The extended version ends here, and as thrilling as it sounds on paper, it is much more nerve-racking on the screen. Backrooms: Everything Must Go gives the fans something more to sit with, which adds to the lore of the liminal space. While the original versions left viewers with many questions, like the fate of Mary and the role of Async, the new content does not really fully answer any of those. However, it pleases the YouTube fanbase of the film by returning to its roots.
