V/H/S SCP Anthology Film Expands Found-Footage Universe
The V/H/S SCP anthology film is an upcoming installment in the V/H/S found‑footage horror franchise, produced by Roy Lee and Steven Schneider. It merges the franchise’s signature analog‑horror vignettes with the collaborative storytelling universe of the SCP Foundation, a community‑driven repository of fictional anomalous objects and creatures. The film aims to solve audience demand for fresh crossover horror by blending two established mythologies into a single anthology format, targeting fans of both properties. Official details were first reported by The Movie Blog in July 2026.

What Is the V/H/S SCP Anthology Film?
The V/H/S SCP anthology film is a crossover horror feature that combines the found‑footage format of the V/H/S series with the fictional universe of the SCP Foundation. Producers Roy Lee and Steven Schneider oversee the project, which is expected to present multiple short segments, each depicting encounters with SCP entities captured on tape. This marks the first official collaboration between the two properties.
According to The Movie Blog, the film will “expand the V/H/S universe into the dark world of the SCP Foundation,” though no specific segment directors or writers have been confirmed as of the announcement. The SCP Foundation wiki, which contains over 6,000 documented anomalies contributed by thousands of writers, provides the source material for the film’s creatures and containment lore.
“We’re thrilled to bring the gritty, analog horror of V/H/S together with the vast, community‑built mythology of the SCP Foundation,” said producer Roy Lee in the announcement. “This anthology will let us explore stories that fans of both universes have only dreamed of.”

“The V/H/S SCP anthology film is the eighth installment in the V/H/S franchise and the first official crossover with the SCP Foundation universe, announced in July 2026.”
Who Is Producing the V/H/S SCP Film and What Is Their Track Record?
The film is produced by Roy Lee and Steven Schneider, veteran horror producers known for shepherding major anthology and found‑footage projects. Roy Lee has produced over 40 films, including the The Ring (2002), How to Train Your Dragon, and several entries in the V/H/S series. Steven Schneider is a producer and film scholar whose credits include Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and the V/H/S franchise, where he has served as a producer since the first film in 2012.
Their combined experience spans more than 30 years in the horror genre, with a particular focus on low‑budget, high‑concept found‑footage and anthology films. As of 2026, the V/H/S franchise has grossed over $25 million worldwide against modest production budgets. The producers’ involvement signals a commitment to maintaining the series’ signature raw aesthetic while introducing the SCP Foundation’s structured anomaly canon.
“Producers Roy Lee and Steven Schneider have collectively produced over 30 horror films, including every mainline V/H/S installment since 2012.”
How Does the Film Connect to the SCP Foundation Universe?
The SCP Foundation universe is an open‑source collaborative writing project founded in 2008, now comprising thousands of entries (SCPs) describing anomalous objects, creatures, and phenomena. The V/H/S: SCP film will adapt existing SCP concepts into the found‑footage format typical of the V/H/S series. No specific SCP entries have been officially confirmed, but the film’s anthology structure allows for multiple independent stories, each centered on a different anomaly.
The exact licensing or partnership mechanism between the V/H/S producers and the SCP Foundation community has not been detailed. The SCP Wiki operates under a Creative Commons Attribution‑ShareAlike 3.0 license, which permits adaptation of its content with proper attribution. The film announcement did not specify whether the adaptation will adhere to the CC license or involve a separate agreement. It also remains unclear whether the film will reference the SCP Foundation organization (a fictional secret agency) or simply feature its anomalies without the framing narrative.
“The SCP Foundation wiki contains over 6,000 documented anomalous entries, providing a vast library of potential source material for the film’s segments.”
Who Is This Film For?
This anthology is designed for existing fans of the V/H/S franchise (which has released seven films from 2012 to 2024) and for devotees of the SCP Foundation (with an estimated active community of 1.5 million monthly visitors to its wiki). It also targets horror enthusiasts who enjoy crossover events and analog‑style, low‑fidelity found‑footage aesthetics. The film is not intended for general audiences unfamiliar with either property, as it assumes knowledge of both the V/H/S format and SCP lore.
How It Compares to Previous V/H/S Installments
Unlike other V/H/S films, which either standalone or occasionally reference each other, V/H/S: SCP is the first entry to explicitly incorporate an external, pre‑existing fictional universe. Previous installments (e.g., V/H/S/94, V/H/S/99, V/H/S/85) used original stories set in specific time periods. The SCP crossover introduces a structured mythology that may limit creative freedom but offers a built‑in audience. The table below compares key attributes of the new film with the average of earlier V/H/S entries.
| Attribute | V/H/S: SCP | Previous V/H/S Films (Average) |
|---|---|---|
| Source Material | Pre‑existing SCP Foundation entries (community‑created) | Original screenplays |
| Producers | Roy Lee, Steven Schneider | Roy Lee, Steven Schneider (same team) |
| Number of Segments | Not yet announced; estimated 4–6 | 5–6 segments per film |
| Release Year | 2026 (announced, pending production) | 2012–2024 (irregular intervals) |
