Shudder has announced that the next installment in the popular horror anthology series VHS will adapt stories from the SCP Foundation. This is a popular series of collaborative online horror fiction that began in 2008 and has expanded into one of the largest Sci-fi horror universes, spawning video games, short films, and web series. The film, titled V/H/S: SCP, will use the franchise’s signature found-footage style, presented as “recovered field documentation” from within the SCP Foundation, featuring different creatures, objects, and containment breaches, each based on a different SCP. Much like previous V/H/S films, each anthology story will be directed by a different director and handled by different creative teams.
This will be the first feature-length SCP adaptation. The film will be a joint venture between Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Studios. Producers on the film are Roy Lee and Steven Schneider through Spooky Pictures, as well as Josh Goldbloom and Michael Schreiber. Both Schreiber and Goldbloom have produced previous V/H/S installments, such as V/H/S/Halloween, V/H/S/94, and V/H/S/Beyond.
The announcement comes not long after the success of A24’s Backrooms, which has, to date, made approximately $350 million worldwide on a budget of only $10 million. That film was similarly adapted from a collaborative online fiction series, being based on Kane Parson’s viral YouTube series, which was itself adapted from an online creepypasta.
Shudder has V/H/S/SCP slated for a 2027 theatrical release. Backrooms is currently playing in theaters.
