‘V/H/S: SCP’ Will Bring the Iconic Horror Anthology Into a Terrifying New Universe

As some of you might know, before there was Southbound and before there was Terrifier, I helped create the V/H/S franchise, which now has so many sequels that even I’ve lost count.

I’m extremely proud of what this franchise has become. V/H/S has served as a springboard for unknown and underappreciated filmmakers, while also becoming a creative safe space where directors can come in, play in a sandbox, and express themselves in strange, bold, and terrifying ways that Hollywood doesn’t always allow.

Now the franchise is expanding again.

Variety reports that Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Studios are teaming to produce V/H/S: SCP, the next installment in the long-running found-footage horror franchise. The new film will also mark the first feature-length addition to the online collective fiction project known as the SCP Foundation, short for Special Containment Procedures.

According to Variety, the SCP Foundation began in 2008 as a collaborative digital project and has since grown into one of the largest fan-driven horror and science-fiction universes online, with previous adaptations including games, short films, and web series.

V/H/S: SCP will adapt the familiar found-footage format through the lens of “recovered field documentation,” presenting video evidence gathered, redacted, and archived by a secretive organization. The anthology’s standalone segments will reportedly focus on different objects, entities, and events tied to a containment-breach narrative.

Roy Lee and Steven Schneider of Spooky Pictures will produce alongside Josh Goldbloom and Michael Schreiber. Goldbloom previously produced V/H/S/94, V/H/S/99, and V/H/S/Halloween, while Schreiber worked on V/H/S/94 and V/H/S/Beyond. Image Nation Studios CEO Ben Ross and ‘ will executive produce.
