The Back Room: The Video Store You Could Walk Into but Never Leave

from Inspector Story

In the late 1980s, a paralyzed, mute man named Karaoke ran a movie rental store in Center City, Tennessee. Locals said he kept unreleased films in a back room. If you asked to see them, he'd show you. But the back room wasn't a room — it was an endless maze of identical hallways that shouldn't have existed. People who went in never came out. When a journalist investigating the disappearances went inside himself, he got lost for hours before spotting Karaoke at the end of a corridor. Something was wrong. Karaoke charged at him. The journalist was never seen again.
