KANE PIXELS MADE A NEW TERRIFYING HORROR SERIES. | The Oldest View. (REACTION) 

I’m fascinated by how the Giant deliberately tricks Wyatt multiple times. At first it pretends that it follows Weeping Angel rules where it can only move when you’re not watching it. And secondly that it can’t climb the escalators, only for it to later show that it was able to do both the entire time.

A fun fact about this is that even though this is 3-D animated, the mall actually existed before it was demolished. Kane did a lot of research for this, and he did a very well done job on it. Edit: 5k?! I was just stating a fun fact guys.

What I appreciate the most is the realistic movements of Wyatt as he runs. He runs into the wall and groans, he tried to duck the wires. I appreciate that sort of attention to detail. Makes it feel much more real.

as someone who literally GREW UP going to Valley View, it's insane how much detail Kane put into this. The layout, the atmosphere, the AMC, the play area, the shops- he got it down to a tee

It gets worse when you realize it was once a real mall with the exact same art statue

oldest view is genuinely way scarier than the backrooms i was tense for practically all the videos

It's honestly very surreal seeing a horror take on a mall i used to go to a lot as a kid lol

Here's what I know so far about this. In the first video, it begins with Julien Reverchon (a french botanist who practiced in Texas, he passed away in 1905) looking at plants and takimg notes on them. Then it goes to Kevin Obregon building a giant art sculpture of Julien Reverchon for the Bridge o'rama Parade of the Giants in Dallas. The mall is Valley View Mall in Dallas. It was a real mall, it recently was fully demolished (that website you tried was the real link, but since the mall closed the website is no longer up). The art sculpture of Julien Reverchon after the parade was kept in Valley View mall nearby StudiObregon (The studio of the artist that built it. Side note Kevin Obregon also painted the octopus). Why is the mall down there? Why is the art sculpture of Julien Reverchon chasing Wyatt? I don't know. Wyatt in the beginning of the third video says he switched to business from botany, perhaps that pissed off the long dead botanist. for some reason.

Fun fact: The mall and the Rolling Giant were actually real at some point. Kane Pixels referred to this video 'DEAD MALLS OF TEXAS - Valley View Center Mall - Dallas' on Wendigoons stream. You should give it a watch! Kane outdid himself with this one! Amazing work!

I’ve never been more tense and nervous for a main character until Kane entered the picture😮

I don't handle horror well. I feel better when someone else is watching with me. That is why I am here. I'm watching with you. And I thank you for that. I would never have watched without you.

*Theory:* Wyatt's in the 'afterlife' living through a hallucination; a collection of unorganized thoughts, and senses he remembered before his passing. I thought this when he mentioned the smell of _"..cut grass.."_ before he went through the door into the mall. Fast forward to when he was shown unalive lying face down on the grass.

I might be very wrong, but here's my theory: The Rolling Giant, being obviously trapped in a space it cannot escape and alone for most of its time, has not been viewed in a very long time. We can see that its arms are fixed in a solid position. So the only way for it to harm you would be to ram into you. So here's my theory: it wants to be watched. In the beginning it follows the Weeping Angels mechanic, it wont move when Wyatt looks at it, because initially, it thinks Wyatt is there to admire it. But once Wyatt explains that he wants to leave, the statue becomes aggressive. Starts to follow when Wyatt is looking, trying to catch him, going as far as breaking glass doors and smashing walls. It doesnt want him to leave, dead or alive, it wants to be admired and looked at. At the end, the way Wyatt was laid was staring right at the statue, it got exactly what it wanted, to be constantly looked at. Which also makes me wonder if Wyatt never really went down into the mall construct, it was a hallucination created by the Giant, and when it realised Wyatt wanted to leave it behind, it killed him. Edit: after a couple more rewatches, I have more details to add onto the theory The mall In the beginning, presents itself to be peaceful and nice and friendly, playing music, keeping the lights on and giving him nearly natural light from sky lights, a gentle ambiance. And then the statue presents itself and tries to get what it wants, and if you notice, it's only after Wyatt states he wants to leave that the music stops. The lights begin to flicker. And in the end after he's found the only escape, it crumbles. Falls apart, the nature Wyatt is really surrounded by trying to cave in on him. No more lights. No more music. No more friendly. And in the end it /literally/ collapses in on him and kills him before he can get out. Edit~2: I noticed the lights seem to turn off when Wyatt starts to go towards somewhere the statue doesn't want him to go, and Wyatt doesn't. Who would? It knows how to control people with fear if it means getting the admiration it wants.

This looks _real_ I cannot believe how incredibly detailed Kane's work is. The amount of effort he must put into these videos is crazy. The fact he's able to get them finished and uploaded so consistently too is a testament to how talented he really is.

Not gonna lie, after seeing this new series that Kane Pixels made completely out of CGI, I’m starting to feel really interested in Blender. Just seeing it’s capabilities from this is enough.

Bro this was the most disturbing and uncomfortable vídeo I've ever seen in my life, I literally stopped watching in half, but couldn't stop thinking about that cursed Giant and that strange Building for days, and after 2 weeks thinking about that video, I get the courage and finished, but it was a real torture for me

the fact that the main character knows what tiktok and backrooms is makes it so much scarier because this means this video is happening in our world.

I love that this is played in a universe where backrooms also exists only as a fictional content

Just about everything in these videos existed at some point, including the entirety of the mall, which is now demolished, and even the rolling giant statue itself. This is basically just a really convoluted preservation project.

This mall is basically a full 3D copy of the Valley View Mall in Dallas that was abandoned for a few years.

In case you were wondering from where the hell does the Rolling Giant come from at 48:25 when Wyatt checked the whole area and he wasn't even there, at around 47:28 you can BARELY see him hiding slowly behind the biggest tree on the right.

Kane is seriously talented, big inspiration for me, this is probably my favourite video of his!

Maybe there exists a phobia just for abandoned or liminal spaces? That could be an explanation to why Ryan gets these feelings when faced with this stuff

the scream at the end was so realistic. it sounded like he was actually falling

I think what I hate most about the giant is that with the dim lighting and the "camera" quality, his mustache looks like a gaping mouth or a wide, toothless smile 😨

Interestingly the rolling giant isn't aggressive until he says he wants to leave. Before that it seems content to follow him much slower than it could. Like it's lonely and doesn't want him to leave. Mall's haunted.

The reason your eyes are getting teary in beneath the earth is you probably have apeirophobia, I know it makes you think of that Roblox game but apeirophobia is the fear of infinity and never ending.

I live in dallas and I used to go to the Valley view mall all the time for clothes shopping!! It’s nice to see it like this is really cool. Nice attention to details by Kane. But it’s kind of odd to hear it referred as a scary location considering how much I went into the actual mall 😂😂 love your videos ryan!! ❤

The door handle that allowed him to get into the mall "almost too easily" at 27:42 wasn't there during his first exploration at 17:00... now that is freaky

As soon as i saw the giant i was always tense that the camera would suddenly turn and see the giant, but kane managed to exceed my expectations as always

It was set up for demolition over six years ago - the Valley View Center Mall in Dallas TX. This is really creepy

Few things scare me, i grew up with horror and i don't tend to be frightened by a lot of things. But this these stairs how it all seems like it doesn't belong. it filled me with dread.

Kane has truly become a master of horror ! He perfectly understand the unsettling atmosphere of luminal spaces and is able to progressively build up the tension before the true menace becomes real and unstoppable, as it is but too late for our desperate protagonist who can no longer escape death.

Not gonna lie being chased around a backrooms mall by Critikal Cacti sounds like a true nightmare.

hey Ryan just thought id let you know that the oldest view part 4 is out! its very strange but good i highly recommend watching it!! your a great youtuber man keep up the good work! and i cant wait to see your reaction to part 4.

The mall, the schematics, and the giantS were real, but the building had completed its demolition around May of 2023, you see on the photos Wyatt took with the trail cameras dated AFTER the demolition completed. It was so trippy seeing the mall because I had the weirdest sense of deja vu since I had actually went there once. If you're interested in all the small details Kane went in depth about this on Wendigoon's livestream channel(Wendigang).

something about the fact that it rolls instead of walking or running makes it much more scary

This was genuinely intense. Even if the giant puppet looks like Moist Critikal, it was horrifying right up to when Wyatt was screaming when he fell. Kane Pixels is a different breed...

Hey Ryan, there's a chance that you might have Agoraphobia. Agoraphobia is a fear of being in situations or places where escape might be difficult or embarrassing. While it is often associated with open spaces, it can also include fear of places that are perceived as frightening or anxiety-inducing.

Bro i dont know why but seeing that giagnt fricking thing roll so quickly at the protagonist for an unknown reason made my heart beat so fast, i was immersed the entire time. The fact that he almost escaped and that creature can actually leave the mall gives me nightmare fuel

I can't believe Kane Pixels decided to make a new horror series! After all, it does make sense, with all the high quality backroom videos and stuff.

47:25 pay attention to the top right part of the screen. I’m 99% sure the giant’s face is in the darkness and is watching him here. This is further proven by the fact that the giant appears behind him a minute later. There are other Easter eggs and hidden details spread throughout the rolling giant video. Someone asked for more hidden details/secrets so feel free to read some, this will be a lengthy comment. Watch closely at 1:00:00. You can see other giants when the light turns on. I’m not sure if they are alive or not. What I do know is that before this mall was abandoned, an art contest was held and those are some other submissions. The original rolling giant was also a submission for that contest. 41:51 these pictures are relevant to the mall and the giants

I love Kane’s work. It feels almost familiar/nostalgic. I think as a kid we all had ideas of making our own movie and it feels homemade, which is really cool.

Man. Kane Pixels really knows how to draw out suspense, that 2nd and 3rd video had me clutching my sleeves the whole time. Genuinely really impressive stuff! I have high hopes of Kane and A24’s Backrooms movie, especially if they allow Kane to have full control of what happens.

Dude, there's no way they turned Moistcritikal into a haunted art piece 😭

It got me curious when Ryan asked if there was a phobia for the super long stair case, so I looked it up. Bathmophobia is what it's called to feel anxious or fearful at the sight of stairs or steep incline. But then I looked up one for long hallways because i dont know which one he was referring to, and it was bathophobia, which is basically the unreasonable fear of depth. "A person might feel fear of falling into something which appears long or deep. " - Google. Hope that helps in some way, lol

Great Video, I love your stuff man. I think the oldest view is in reference to the giant, he is the oldest of the art sculptures and he lives longer than everyone. Thats why at the end everything is ruined and he is still around. But thats just my half baked theory.

The rolling giant is to scary every time the camera moves to a direction i alwayd pause the video

Kane is seriously so talented that conspiracy theorists in TikTok believed that "Beneath the Earth" was real and thought it was a secret site of a human trafficking ring set up by Biden 😂. Kane himself stated this on Wendigoon's livestream. But seriously I can't wait to see if there will be more of this for this series. He did say that he has plans but is very busy with The Backrooms film at the moment.

I watched this video on my own and I genuinely was terrified. Almost more than Kane’s backrooms videos. I really hope he continues it and I love seeing Ryan react to them!!

Love love love these longer less edited episodes. But fun fact there is well WAS a mall called Valley View mall in Dallas TX. The mall was recently demolished earlier in the year. The mall always looked so retro in my opinion sooooo he may have taken this while the mall was abandoned in the process of preparing to be demolished or Kane has done extensive research

Being chased by a crippled entity as slow and yet strong as the rolling giant, is terrifying bro. We need a vr game based off his content, free roam or not.

Hey Ryan, the reason Kane isn't making backrooms stuff is because he is teaming with A24 to make a Backrooms Movie

I just want to say, that 3rd episode terrified me so much more than anything in the backrooms series did. Something about everything going on is so unsettling, the part right after the lights turned off and the giant kept rolling towards the character. First time I've ever gotten goosebumps watching a scary video that isn't just from some cheap jumpscare.

This is genuinely so terrifying and you did a great job commentating without marketing it annoying. It was almost comforting. Great job

Kane Pixels really did a great job on making terror turn into actual horror, which is something not many projects can actually produce effectively nowadays. Terror is realizing that your not alone(37:36), thus making you want to run away. But horror is realizing you are now trapped(39:30), awaiting the terror to eventually catch you.

kane pixels work has improved so much the thing with the backrooms is that we all knew what to expect, the hum of the lights, the wallpaper, the lore, the entities. but an entire new series like this is just so terrifying, this looks *real*

On top of everything that’s already legitimately amazing about this, what blows me away is that I cannot tell the point at which we transition from real footage to CGI. Everything just looks so real.

ITS INSANE HOW REAL IT LOOKS and none of that goofy backrooms stuff judt genuine liminal spaces and old malls creepy hallways and exploring the unknown

Was waiting for ryan to watch this before i did so happy he finally reacted to it❤

This series was honestly the most tense, intriguing, and baffling thing I have seen in ages. In episode two as Wyat was going down the stairs I was just waiting for something to just start chasing him back up them, and in the 3rd episode it got to a pony were I was just writhing uncomfortable I’m my seat just waiting for the rolling giant to appear. This whole trilogy was so well crafted, and it really demonstrates how big of a genius Kane is when it comes of making this kind of stuff, even at his age. So many questions, and yet bassicly none of them have been answered, and may never be answered. And the very fact that the mall featured in this video actually existed, and that he managed to recreate it to a T is genuinely amazing. I found out about this fact almost emeidntly after finishing the 3rd episode from a video posted 6 years ago. It felt so weird to watch, it just felt wrong. Another amazing experience form Kane and another great video from you. Kane, if you ever by some godly magic see this, I would love to work with you some day.

I think what’s interesting is the the freshly cut grass Wyatt mentions is a defense mechanism used by plants when they are under attack, like grass getting cut is it getting attacked, stepping in plants etc would produce this smell, this almost kinda indicates that there is life down here, and there still is which already terrifies me, I also noticed that there were plants in the mall which could be explaining the cut grass smell as the life form down there might have been eating them to survive maybe P.S. I haven’t finished the video when making this comment

I remember watching this for the first time the day it came out and thinking "Phew, surely there's no way that big statue can fit through that door." and then I heard the glass shattering at 51:34 and I burst out laughing.

It's awesome to see Kane branch out into doing stuff that isn't backrooms (even though it's based off an actual mall and art project and still liminal horror) he has so much potential and is already so talented even though he's so young.

The mall literally looks like when Minecraft structures spawn underground.

I really enjoy Kane's 3-D work so much like seeing what he can do and how far he can push the bounds is so impressive, I enjoy the content very much but for me as a graphic designer and illustrator there is something so cool about the extra pieces of detail you notice. Like the time spent on these had to be crazy long. I'm so immensely proud that we have such creative people like Kane who can create such amazing videos that are built on the back of pure passion.

At 47:27 I'm not too sure but if you look near the top right at the tree, I think you can see the entity peek, then go back behind the tree

I love how when he saw that the stairs were broken and was wandering near those art pieces there was a piece of like leaf or sm that fell from the giant's arm there, now thats what I call forshadowing

I think the Rolling Giant is the scariest horror antagonist I've ever seen, it just triggers like every phobia I have. I didn't think anything could creep me out more than the Mandela Catalogue, but I was wrong

Man Wyatt definitely has some sort of brain problem to want to go back there alone A SECOND TIME

This is so well made to the point where I hate it, it makes me so paranoid to the point where I struggle to finish watching it, even at the lowest possible volume setting

Cool detail. Right before the main guy opened the door to see the mall had collapsed there was a poster that wasn’t there before that said “Do you except this impermanence?”

I like to imagine that the giant actually couldn't go up a staircase and he just turned on the escalator at the end

We need georainbolt to see if he can find out if the outside area before the hole in Wyatt's video is an actual place or it's all generated. It's super impressive.

Love these Long videos thanks Ryan ☺️

You know what's insane! this mall existed in 2015 to 2023 it got shut down! Also the giant was real too!

I think the "thunder" that you reference may actually be the rolling giant rolling around with his wheels. When you think about it this way, it is a lot more scary when you do not see him

I really like the look of the monster and how it looks like a bunch of items you could find in a mall mashed together and I gotta say the face of it is both pretty darn creepy and also kinda funny

I have a theory like Ryan said maybe something escaped from the oldest view, so that is why we saw a man with no color exploring the woods. With his notebook observing this new world

I used to go to this mall when I was a kid. I would go up and down the elevator and visit the rolling giant. But seeing this as Mall becoming a horror series is nostalgic. I used to pretend I was in a horror game at this mall🙂🥲

The fact that they got a lot of the details from the actual mall is insane. I really gotta give to Kane that this is the most detailed 3d set that I have currently seen. I really do hope that they can continue with this amazing work 😁👍👍👍

Finally this series gaining more popularity, ive been waiting for people to watch this masterpiece for a while, tho i understand waiting for more episodes to come out for the content.

This was a experience I will NEVER FORGET well done.

Nah bro this is so unbelievably horrifying. But so intriguing. There were a few times where it got so scary that I just wanted to click off, but then I wanted to find out what would happen, so I kept watching

This whole reaction video not only taught me what 'non-diagetic' means, but also explained why you should never go alone anywhere down a random staircase thousands of feet underground lol Awesome videos as always, love your reactions! This series is amazing as well, and I can't wait to see if more will be added with this whole underground mall idea. Legitimately terrifying and kept me on the edge of my seat. I think it's my favorite horror video online right now at the moment, frankly.

Fun fact: The rolling giant is based on the guy in the beginning of the "renewal" video. and he was a real man once. as a botany studying life of plants while writing it in his journal to study. and the giant points to the protagonist as him taking his place. as a frame of two dead people and one dead horse. meaning useless and saying he is dead and for the protagonist to take his place. for wyatt, he is scared and runs towards the escalator before this happens, and the parade of giants are in the shadows watching until the lights turn on to reveal themselves. and the parade of giants is a real thing in real life, the mall is real but is now demolished, and the giant. the giant is real. wyatt.........................................................is.......................a.............................................................................................................................Botanist

I always watch with RU-vidrs reacting to it to keep me company

I used to do exploration stuff like that with a group, and while my curiosity would get the better of me, if I went down a long as heck staircase that lead to an old castle looking shutter that THEN lead to a modern looking room...I'd be out

Kane out here making a Netflix worthy series

Liked kane's backrooms series but im glad to see him do new things

Horror movies: spooky Kane pixel’s videos: *nightmare fuel*

In the back of my mind I knew he wasn't going to make it, but come on, he goes through 40 minutes of wandering through an underground mall being chased by 10 foot tall rolling statues, finally finds another exit staircase, just to fall to his death (?) at the foot of them. That pains me!

Kane's content never disappoints!

I've been waiting for this! You and baz were like, my top hopes for reactions to this. Hope you do more looks into this, there's lots to unpack.

This was an actual mall in Dallas Texas. It was Valley View Mall. The pictures on the walls are actual pictures of Dallas as well. Kane did a really good job with research.

I’ve always been afraid of stuff like the weeping angles and SCP 173. But this series where it can move even when your looking at it and it’s size shook me to my core

When i saw this i was scared to watch it, because i actually saw a nightmare about something like this and it was pretty traumatizing. Kane pixel never misses

My volume was at max so I was scared half of the time Ryan! Keep up the good work, dude! You're awesome!

The sign here 58:46 says “created by La Reunion TX artists and volunteers who care about West Dallas, the overwhelmed puppets of bridge-o-Rama’s parade of giants nearly stole the show during the opening weekend of the Margaret hunt hill bridge.” And also like rayan pointed out “see them again. Learn their story.”

The end of this video with the part of him falling to his death has now scarred me for life.
