Indie label Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Studios are producing 'V/H/S: SCP,' the latest installment in the V/H/S horror franchise, set for release in 2027.
New Delhi, India Jul 7, 2026 ALN: Indie genre label Spooky Pictures and global film and television studio Image Nation Studios are partnering to produce “V/H/S: SCP.” This feature-length project marks the latest installment in the long-running “V/H/S” found-footage horror franchise and is the first feature-length addition to the online collective fiction project, the SCP (Special Containment Procedures) Foundation.
Roy Lee and Steven Schneider from Spooky Pictures will produce the film alongside Josh Goldbloom and Michael Schreiber. Goldbloom has 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 Spooky Pictures’ Rami Yasin will serve as executive producers.
“The horror genre continues to be a remarkable launchpad for new talent to share original creations, and the vast SCP universe has provided a vital incubator for this creativity to thrive,” said Spooky Pictures co-founder Steven Schneider in a press release. “Along with INS, this next project reinforces our shared commitment to look in new and unexpected spaces for stories. We can’t wait to expand the V/H/S franchise with fresh and terrifying stories that will keep viewers coming back for more.”
The SCP Foundation began in 2008 as a collaborative digital project and has grown into one of the largest fan-driven horror and science fiction universes online. The SCP Foundation is a fictional organization that secures, contains, and protects anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena that pose a threat to humanity. The stories within the SCP universe are typically presented as scientific reports, detailing the nature of these anomalies and the measures taken to contain them. This unique storytelling format has inspired a community of writers, artists, and creators to contribute to the expanding lore, resulting in thousands of entries that range from terrifying to absurdly humorous.
Previous adaptations of the SCP Foundation have included games, short films, and web series, each attempting to capture the essence of the source material while exploring the darker themes inherent in the SCP narratives. The transition from online collaborative fiction to a feature-length film represents a significant shift in how the SCP universe can be experienced by a broader audience.
“V/H/S: SCP” will adapt the found-footage concept that the franchise has been known for since its inception in 2012. The film will be framed as “recovered field documentation,” or video evidence gathered, redacted, and archived by the secretive organization. Standalone segments in the anthology will focus on different objects, entities, or events under the containment-breach narrative. This format allows for a of storytelling styles and tones, ranging from psychological horror to action-packed sequences, all while maintaining the signature found-footage aesthetic that has defined the V/H/S franchise.
The anthology approach is particularly well-suited for the SCP Foundation, as it allows for the exploration of multiple narratives within a single film. Each segment can introduce a new SCP object or entity, providing the audience with a glimpse into the vast and varied universe of the SCP Foundation. This structure not only enhances the film's pacing but also creates opportunities for different directors and writers to contribute their unique visions, potentially bringing a diverse range of horror styles to the project.
The project is slated for theatrical release in 2027, promising to deliver a unique blend of horror and innovative storytelling. The 2027 release date positions the film to capitalize on the growing popularity of horror in mainstream cinema, as the genre has seen a resurgence in recent years. Films like “Get Out,” “A Quiet Place,” and “Hereditary” have not only garnered critical acclaim but have also achieved significant box office success, indicating a strong audience appetite for original horror content.
The V/H/S franchise has established itself as a cornerstone of found-footage horror, with each installment exploring new themes and narrative techniques. The introduction of the SCP Foundation into this universe could lead to exciting new directions for the franchise, potentially attracting fans of both horror and science fiction. By merging the established V/H/S style with the rich lore of the SCP Foundation, the filmmakers have the opportunity to create a film that is not only terrifying but also intellectually engaging.
Furthermore, the collaboration between Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Studios reflects a broader trend in the film industry where independent labels are partnering with larger studios to bring unique content to the forefront. This partnership could enhance the film's production value and marketing reach, allowing for a more polished final product that appeals to both niche audiences and mainstream viewers.
As the film progresses through its development stages, fans of both the V/H/S franchise and the SCP Foundation will be closely watching for updates and teasers. The anticipation surrounding “V/H/S: SCP” will likely grow as the release date approaches, particularly as the filmmakers reveal more about the specific SCP entities that will be featured in the film. Given the vast number of SCP entries available, there is an abundance of material to draw from, which could lead to creative and unexpected adaptations.
“V/H/S: SCP” represents an exciting new chapter for both the V/H/S franchise and the SCP Foundation. With a talented production team and a unique narrative structure, the film aims to push the boundaries of horror storytelling while staying true to the core elements that fans of both universes cherish. As the film moves toward its 2027 release, it will be interesting to see how it shapes the future of horror cinema and whether it can successfully bridge the gap between independent horror and mainstream appeal.
