The Oldest View

The Oldest View is a mystery thriller web series created by American YouTuber and filmmaker Kane Parsons. Production on the series began in January 2023, shortly after his Backrooms series entered a temporary hiatus. The series debuted in March 2023 with the episode "Renewal", which has over 3 million views as of September 2025. In April 2024, the latest installment, "Dispersal", was released, as Parsons went on to continue production on his Backrooms series. The series is related to a real life mall called Valley View Center, which was completely demolished in May 2023, except the mall has somehow manifested underground, with the only entrances to it being holes in the ground with concrete stairs leading down to the mall. The main protagonist of the series is a character named Wyatt, who ventures through the mall, recording on his phone to uncover its mysteries, with a giant rolling puppet within that tries to catch Wyatt and presumably kill him.
