There’s a $10,000,000 Edition of ‘Dying Light’
UK retailer GAME is going all out with their second comically overpriced, one-of-a-kind edition of Techland’s open-world survival horror game Dying Light. If you thought the $386,000 price tag on the My Apocalypse collector’s edition was a bit much, I suspect you’ll feel about 250% more strongly about the Spotlight Edition they designed exclusively for the geekiest 1% of the 1%.
For a cool $10,000,000, you — well, not you, obviously, but you get what I mean — can get a supporting role in Dying Light: The Movie, where you’ll have the opportunity to “participate in action scenes and deliver lines with an international cast of actors.”
The Spotlight Edition also comes with…

We peasants will just have to make due with the new Enhanced edition. It might not come with a life-sized Volatile BFF, but you could probably make something out of the sleeve jacket. A fan to keep you cool in the summer, perhaps, or you could fold it into a plane for 3-5 seconds of fun!
The best part about engaging with collaborative genre fiction on the internet is that anyone can get in on the action, with worldwide accessibility often resulting in absurd story beats that wouldn’t be possible if any single person was responsible for the entire narrative. And while Kane Parsons’ Backrooms film is definitely the young filmmaker’s own unique take on the infamous creepypasta, it’s fun to see other creators join the Backrooms sandbox now that the big screen adaptation is getting ready for a record-shattering opening weekend.
As if cleverly timed releases like Puppet Combo’s The Backrooms game weren’t enough (not to mention that Scary Movie poster poking fun at Parsons’ flick), McDonald’s official social media accounts have now released an analog horror video of their own celebrating the liminal terrors of the McRooms – complete with a familiar purple surprise at the end of the footage.
While it’s funny enough to see the world’s most recognizable Fast Food giant engage with internet-borne Found Footage thrills seemingly out of the blue, the video is actually referencing a long-running gag among the Backrooms fandom where creators jokingly talk about there being a fully functional McDonald’s restaurant hidden somewhere in level 0 of the infamous liminal labyrinth.
Now, would it be too much to hope for a moist-carpet-flavored McShake to tie in with the film?
Backrooms is now playing only in theaters from A24.
