The V/H/S franchise is moving into new territory. According to Variety, producers Roy Lee and Steven Schneider of Spooky Pictures have set up "V/H/S: SCP," a feature-length anthology film built around the SCP Foundation, the internet's sprawling collaborative horror fiction project. Josh Goldbloom and Michael Schreiber will also produce. A theatrical release is targeted for 2027.
The SCP Foundation began in 2008 as an anonymous wiki project. What started as a single creepypasta post has grown into one of the largest fan-authored fictional universes online, populated by thousands of "Special Containment Procedures" documenting anomalous objects, entities, and locations. The Foundation's lore is obsessively detailed, deeply strange, and entirely open-source.
"V/H/S: SCP" will be framed as recovered field documentation: video evidence gathered, redacted, and archived by the fictional SCP organization. Standalone anthology segments will focus on different objects, entities, or events, all under a containment-breach narrative structure. That architecture maps cleanly onto the V/H/S franchise format, which debuted at Sundance in 2012 and has built its identity around found-footage anthologies with rotating directors.
Spooky Pictures acquired the V/H/S franchise from Studio71 earlier in 2026. Under that arrangement, Steven Schneider and Roy Lee also produced V/H/S/Beyond and V/H/S/Halloween. The SCP adaptation would mark the first time the franchise has drawn from a pre-existing fictional universe.
The SCP Foundation has generated fan films and a dedicated game ecosystem but has not had a mainstream theatrical release. Whether the collaboration translates its digital mythology to screens intact is unproven. The structural logic, though, is hard to argue with.
