The Smile Room is an internet monster and urban legend created by the artist Trevor Henderson.
History
The story of the Smile Room broke down on July 27th, 2006. Three teenager friends found an amusement complex, two of which entered it, while the third waited for them outside. The complex had entertaining parts in it such as a bowling area, arcade area and the jungle gym. The third teenager waited them for hours, without any signs of them coming back, until he decided to enter the complex and find them.
The teenager managed to search everything inside of the complex, all of the fun areas, but there were no signs of the two others. He managed to find one of his missing friends' cellphone on the ground. When he looked at the phone, he was in shock, finding a photo of a anomaly which manifested it's own self in the back rooms of the complex. The authorities got involved after seeing the photo, and an investigation was started to find the missing teenagers.
The investigation was a failure, when they got to the location of the anomaly, they found nothing. Instead they found a plain brick-wall, without any doors or signs. The mystery of the missing teenagers and the cryptid were kept as a secret for a very long time. Everything changed on August 15th, 2018, when Trevor Henderson showcased the story, and revealed an image of the cryptid as a part of his found-footage series where Siren Head and Long Horse are featured as well. Henderson also gave it the nickname "The Smile Room".
Two months later, Trevor Henderson revealed another photo of the Smile Room on his Instagram account, which made people theorize what the being could possibly be. On March 26th 2020, Henderson released a third photo of a humanoid creature, which on it's self has the same teeth as the the Smile Room, which are covering it from the head to the toe. Henderson also revealed that the Smile Room has the ability to infect victims and can use them as hosts.
The Smile Room is not just a typical room, instead it is a sentient entity which has the ability of manipulating itself between alive and not alive things. It is unknown where the victims go after being consumed by the Smile Room. it is believed that inside of the Smile Room, it is like a black hole, and if the victim tries to get out, it will pull it deeper inside, until the victim gets to the end and becomes a part of the Smile Room.

Trivia
- The Smile Room was created by Trevor Henderson, who is known for making various bizarre creatures over the internet. His other creations include Siren Head, Cartoon Cat, the Country Road Creature, the Bridge Worms, the Man with the Upside-Down Face and Long Horse.
- The Smile Room might be inspired by the YouTube animated video, "Indigestion" created by the legendary British animator Cyriak.
- Despite all of the information we have, the Smile Room's moral agency has not been made clear.
- It is possible that it is driven out of some possible hunger instincts much like Siren Head, the Country Road Creature and the Bridge Worms (and possibly Cartoon Cat) and is not worse or just as bad as The Man with the Upside-Down Face whatsoever.
- However, the Smile Room does have a more sinister motive on catching prey such as infecting them or sucking them deeper inside of it's black hole to make the victim become part of it and then later possibly eat them alive. Regardless, the Smile Room does not have a clear personality nor a moral agency and is considered an amoral predator much like most of Trevor Henderson's monsters.
