The SCP Foundation: horror trend like backrooms gets new movie from a surprising company. September 30, 2026 A new anthology movie is being developed based on the social horror forum, The SCP Foundation. SCP stands for Special Containment Procedures and is also the forum's guiding motto: "Secure, Contain, Protect." The award-winning studio, NEON, is set to develop and produce an anthology feature based on the beloved community fiction project The SCP Foundation. The studio, known for some of the most daring and celebrated films of the last decade, will contribute to the long-running open-source horror project and release the film theatrically in 2027. Created in 2008, the SCP is a fictional secret foundation that collects and studies supernatural and dangerous objects and entities for the good of humanity. Its task is to contain anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena. The site allows creators to contribute written works that expand the SCP Foundation's lore. These works inspired many short films, web series, and games. What else do SuperHeroHype know about the new The SCP Foundation movie? According to the official press release, the studio will release the anthology film and related materials under the Creative Commons CC BY-SA license. This would allow other creators to share and adapt the material, as long as they comply with the license's attribution and other requirements. Moreover, they have been in communication with the SCP Wiki team to ensure that the film's distribution does not deviate from the team's mission and licensing guidelines. NEON's announcement comes after the SCP Foundation criticized A24's V/H/S: SCP Foundation Film, produced by Spooky Pictures and Image Nation. A24's work was called out in an official statement noting that no communication had been made with the project's filmmakers, producers, or distributors. In the statement, the foundation members added, "A24 does not and cannot have any exclusive rights to anything related to the SCP Foundation, including any films that Spooky Pictures or anyone else may choose to create." According to Deadline, NEON's production was underway before A24's announcement. A24's V/H/S: SCP is planned for a theatrical release in 2027. NEON plans to do the same.

Neon to produce fictional SCP Foundation anthology feature. The 'Longlegs' studio will see emerging filmmakers contribute to the open-source horror project set for a theatrical release in 2027. September 30, 2026 1:45pm Neon, having seen Backrooms and Obsession break out at the multiplex, is doubling down on horror by unveiling plans to produce an anthology feature based on the SCP Foundation fan-created horror and sci-fi mythologies.

The studio will be in a race of sorts as A24 also plans its own SCP Foundation movie set for a 2027 release and to be produced in partnership with Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Studios. For its movie, Neon plans to focus on emerging filmmakers to contribute to the anthology feature based on the sprawling SCP Wiki launched in 2008 as a collaborative and speculative fiction website. The studio indicated it has consulted the SCP Wiki team to ensure a planned theatrical release complements the fan-built site's mission and licensing guidelines. "Over its nearly two decades of existence and with thousands of contributors, the site has built an engaged, global fanbase and has inspired short films, web series and games," Neon said in a statement. The planned anthology feature will look to build on Neon's track record in the genre movie space, which includes Osgood Perkins' Longlegs, starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage, and The Monkey. More recently, Neon released Alex Ullom's SXSW breakout It Ends and will be producing his next film 4 x 4: the Event. Other Neon productions include Osgood Perkins' The Young People, David Robert Mitchell's They Follow, Matt Johnson's The Vice Guide and Arie and Chuko Esiri's Clarissa.
