A24 is taking the SCP Foundation to theaters for the first time, setting an untitled film for a 2027 theatrical release and taking worldwide rights to the project. The studio is teaming with Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Studios on a movie that is being kept tightly under wraps.
For fans of Scp Foundation Movie By A24 In 2027, the timing matters because the project has just moved from online talk to a real studio slate entry. Ben Ross, the CEO of Image Nation Studios, described the SCP universe as a vast online world and said the team cannot wait to expand it with new stories, a sign that the adaptation is being treated as a major theatrical play rather than a niche genre experiment.
The SCP Foundation started online in 2008 and grew into one of the internet’s largest collaborative horror and science-fiction universes, built by thousands of contributors around the world. Its stories revolve around anomalous objects, entities and phenomena, all framed through a secret organization that works covertly to protect humanity from malevolent forces. That sprawling structure helps explain why a film version can be announced without any plot specifics: there is no single canon to compress, only a vast pool of material to draw from.
The other wrinkle is that the project is being described as an untitled extension of the V/H/S horror series, even as it is also being sold as an SCP Foundation movie. Image Nation Studios and Spooky Pictures acquired rights to the V/H/S franchise earlier this year, and V/H/S: SCP is now being positioned as the next installment. The overlap suggests a single new chapter may be carrying both labels, though no one has explained yet how the two identities fit together on screen.
A24’s involvement also gives the project immediate weight. The company previously found major success with Backrooms, the horror film from Kane Parsons that grossed over $394M worldwide, and that history is now being used to frame SCP as the next internet-born universe headed for theaters. The next concrete step is development toward that 2027 release, with the key question still unresolved: which corner of the SCP mythology will be the one audiences see first.
