I heard about this while I was doing a research project on the deep Web. There are a few variations, but here's what I found in the Red Room.
The Red Room is a pop-up that will appear on your screen while either trying to find information on The Red Room or using the deep Web. It is a red pop-up with Japanese letters that translate to "do you like the red room?", which is read aloud by a child's voice. This feature inspired a young schoolgirl in Japan to murder one of her peers. Variations of the story include that the person who views the pop-up will either be killed by some 'demon' or will go insane.
A 'red room' also refers to an onion website with a webcam showing the torture of an 'ISIS terrorist'. This site contains a chatroom where you can input torture commands. I could not find any red rooms using any onion browsers, and I didn't want to go too deep.
