Red Room
Scarlet-named space
Red Room refers to an alleged type of hidden website on the dark web where viewers supposedly pay to watch live-streamed torture, murder, or other extreme violence.
Despite persistent internet rumors and urban legends, no verified red room has been documented—the concept exists primarily as creepypasta horror fiction and fearmongering about the dark web.
The term likely derives from the "red room" trope in horror films, where a room is associated with blood or danger.
