V/H/S: SCP Announced as Franchise Expands Into the SCP Foundation Universe

One of horror’s most successful found-footage franchises is heading into entirely new territory.

According to Variety, indie genre label Spooky Pictures and global film and television studio Image Nation Studios have officially announced V/H/S: SCP, a new feature-length installment in the long-running V/H/S franchise that will also serve as the first feature film adaptation connected to the massive SCP Foundation universe.

The project continues the evolution of the anthology series that began in 2012 while bringing one of the internet’s most expansive collaborative horror creations to the big screen.

Roy Lee and Steven Schneider will produce through Spooky Pictures alongside Josh Goldbloom and Michael Schreiber, both of whom have extensive experience within the V/H/S franchise. Goldbloom previously produced V/H/S/94, V/H/S/99, and V/H/S/Halloween, while Schreiber worked on both V/H/S/94 and V/H/S/Beyond.

Image Nation Studios CEO Ben Ross and Spooky Pictures’ Rami Yasin will serve as executive producers.

For fans unfamiliar with the SCP Foundation, the online collaborative fiction project launched in 2008 and has since grown into one of the internet’s largest horror and science-fiction communities. The SCP universe revolves around a secret organization tasked with locating, containing, and studying anomalous entities, objects, creatures, and phenomena that threaten humanity.

Over the years, SCP has expanded far beyond its original website, inspiring video games, short films, web series, and countless fan-created stories. Despite its enormous online popularity, V/H/S: SCP marks the first feature-length film adaptation tied directly to the universe.

The new film appears to be a natural fit for the V/H/S format.

Rather than relying on traditional found footage, V/H/S: SCP will reportedly be presented as recovered field documentation, consisting of video evidence gathered, redacted, archived, and stored by the SCP Foundation itself. Each anthology segment will focus on different containment breaches, anomalous entities, objects, or catastrophic incidents tied to the organization’s secret operations.

The concept allows the filmmakers to tap into decades of SCP mythology while maintaining the found-footage framework that has helped define the V/H/S franchise for more than a decade.

“The horror genre continues to be a remarkable launchpad for new talent to share original creations, and the vast SCP universe has provided a vital incubator for this creativity to thrive,” said Spooky Pictures co-founder Steven Schneider in a statement.

“Along with INS, this next project reinforces our shared commitment to look in new and unexpected spaces for stories. We can’t wait to expand the V/H/S franchise with new fresh and terrifying stories that will keep viewers coming back for more.”

For horror fans, the pairing makes a tremendous amount of sense on paper. The SCP Foundation’s endless catalog of monsters, anomalies, alternate dimensions, reality distortions, and containment failures seems tailor-made for the anthology format that has fueled V/H/S through multiple successful installments.

The announcement also continues a broader trend of internet-born horror properties making the leap into mainstream film and television development. Unlike many online horror projects, however, SCP arrives with nearly two decades of world-building already in place and a passionate global fanbase eager to see the mythology explored on a larger scale.

Whether the film adapts fan-favorite SCP entries or introduces entirely new anomalies remains unknown, but the creative possibilities appear nearly limitless.

One thing is certain: if V/H/S: SCP successfully combines the franchise’s chaotic found-footage energy with the SCP Foundation’s vast catalog of nightmares, it could become one of the most anticipated horror events of 2027.

V/H/S: SCP is currently slated for a theatrical release in 2027.
