SCP movies and NEON’s 2027 anthology announced
The world of internet horror and cosmic dread is about to get a serious cinematic upgrade. The legendary SCP Foundation is officially heading to theaters, and not just once—it’s set to arrive twice in 2027, creating a thrilling cinematic showdown for horror fans.
The first cinematic entry is coming from A24, which is developing V/H/S: SCP. This project is poised to bring the familiar concept of anomalous objects and containment breaches to the big screen, leaning heavily into the popular found footage anthology horror format. With worldwide rights secured, A24 is setting the stage for a movie that will frame the SCP universe through recovered documentation, giving it a distinct, immediate identity as a tense, unfolding horror experience.
But the SCP universe is vast, encompassing thousands of stories, creatures, and phenomena housed within the open-source SCP Wiki. This immense collaborative fiction project has naturally led to a parallel development, as NEON has announced plans for its own, completely separate SCP Foundation movie.
NEON is tackling the SCP lore by planning an anthology feature designed specifically to showcase emerging filmmakers. The studio is collaborating directly with the open-source SCP community, ensuring that the resulting film reflects the wide-ranging nature of the lore rather than focusing on a single storyline.
This dual approach is exciting because it highlights the massive scope of the SCP universe. Whether fans are drawn to A24’s focused found footage narrative or NEON’s eclectic, artist-driven collection of stories, there is enough material to fuel multiple blockbuster experiences.
The licensing of the SCP material adds another layer of intrigue. While the open-source Wiki operates under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license, NEON has committed to releasing their film and related materials under the Creative Commons CC BY-SA license, reflecting the cooperative spirit of the original community.
While both projects are targeting a 2027 theatrical release, the specific details remain under wraps. This split path—one focused on specific genre conventions and the other on collaborative storytelling—ensures that the SCP Foundation isn’t just adapting lore, but expanding it into a rich, dual-front cinematic phenomenon.
Get ready for 2027, as horror fans prepare for two distinct cinematic journeys into the depths of the SCP Foundation.
