V/H/S: SCP is bringing the SCP Foundation universe to found footage horror, and the franchise may be the perfect home for recovered files, redactions, and containment breaches.

For thirteen years the V/H/S franchise has been rooting through the world’s cursed camcorders looking for the scariest thing on tape. It turns out the scariest thing was a filing cabinet the whole time.

The next installment is V/H/S: SCP, and it drops the found footage anthology into the SCP Foundation, the giant online horror project that has spent years pretending to be a leaked government archive. This is the rare crossover where you read the headline and immediately think, well, obviously. Two things built out of the same broken parts finally noticing each other.

Per Variety, V/H/S: SCP is coming from indie genre label Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Studios. It is the first feature length trip into SCP territory, and it is aiming for theaters in 2027.

Producing are Roy Lee and Steven Schneider out of Spooky Pictures, alongside Josh Goldbloom and Michael Schreiber. Goldbloom and Schreiber are not tourists here. Their fingerprints are already on recent entries like V/H/S/94 and V/H/S/Beyond, so the people assembling this actually know how the machine runs. (…)

    I think I’ve watched every V/H/S movie…

    But I don’t know if any of them have been good.

    Undeniably some great segments, but going off memory I can’t think of one entry in the series that overall averaged up to “good movie”.

      I find the most of them very well done, with good acting, great effects and entertaining plots.

        I just can’t think of any I enjoyed all the way thru.

        There always seemed to be at least one segment that seemed a little cheesy or just bad.

        Still gonna watch the new one tho

      Heck, most movies have parts that drag a bit or aren’t as good as the rest of the movie. An anthology is broken up in a way where being the not so great part really stands out.

      I’d say they have all been at least 50% or more entertaining which is about as good as one can expect from an anthology.
