The new film will also mark the first feature-length addition to the online collective fiction project known as the SCP Foundation, short for Special Containment Procedures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Variety, the SCP Foundation began in 2008 as a collaborative digital project and has since grown into one of the largest fan-driven horror and science-fiction universes online, with previous adaptations including games, short films, and web series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>V\/H\/S: SCP<\/em> will adapt the familiar found-footage format through the lens of \u201crecovered field documentation,\u201d presenting video evidence gathered, redacted, and archived by a secretive organization. The anthology\u2019s standalone segments will reportedly focus on different objects, entities, and events tied to a containment-breach narrative.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Roy Lee<\/strong> and <strong>Steven Schneider<\/strong> of <strong>Spooky Pictures<\/strong> will produce alongside <strong>Josh Goldbloom<\/strong> and <strong>Michael Schreiber<\/strong>. Goldbloom previously produced <em>V\/H\/S\/94<\/em>, <em>V\/H\/S\/99<\/em>, and <em>V\/H\/S\/Halloween<\/em>, while Schreiber worked on <em>V\/H\/S\/94<\/em> and <em>V\/H\/S\/Beyond<\/em>. <strong>Image Nation Studios<\/strong> CEO <strong>Ben Ross<\/strong> and <strong>Spooky Pictures<\/strong>\u2018 <strong>Rami Yasin<\/strong> will executive produce.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also worth noting the pedigree behind Spooky Pictures. <strong>Roy Lee<\/strong> has spent the past two decades helping shape modern horror and genre filmmaking, with credits that include <em>The Ring<\/em>, <em>The Grudge<\/em>, <em>The Strangers<\/em>, <em>It<\/em>, <em>It Chapter Two<\/em>, <em>Barbarian<\/em>, and Zach Cregger\u2019s <em>Weapons<\/em>. <strong>Steven Schneider<\/strong> brings his own ridiculous horror r\u00e9sum\u00e9, with ties to <em>Paranormal Activity<\/em>, <em>Insidious<\/em>, <em>Split<\/em>, <em>Pet Sematary<\/em>, <em>Watcher<\/em>, <em>Late Night with the Devil<\/em>, and <em>Strange Darling<\/em>. Together, through Spooky Pictures, the duo have backed exactly the kind of filmmaker-driven genre work that makes them feel like a natural fit for <em>V\/H\/S<\/em>. In other words, the franchise is in very strong hands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The news comes after last year\u2019s announcement that <strong>Spooky Pictures<\/strong> and <strong>Image Nation Studios<\/strong> had acquired rights to the franchise, setting the stage for <em>V\/H\/S<\/em> to expand beyond its recent run of Shudder-exclusive releases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As someone who helped launch <em>V\/H\/S<\/em>, it\u2019s been wild to watch the franchise grow into one of horror\u2019s most important proving grounds. The list of filmmakers who\u2019ve passed through this universe is ridiculous. <strong>Adam Wingard<\/strong> and <strong>Simon Barrett<\/strong> went on to make <em>You\u2019re Next<\/em>, <em>The Guest<\/em>, <em>Godzilla vs. Kong<\/em>, and this year\u2019s <em>Onslaught<\/em>. <strong>Ti West<\/strong> built the <em>X<\/em> trilogy. <strong>Radio Silence<\/strong> helped resurrect <em>Scream<\/em>, made the fan-favorite <em>Ready or Not<\/em>, and are now taking on Universal\u2019s upcoming <em>The Mummy<\/em>. <strong>David Bruckner<\/strong> went on to direct <em>The Ritual<\/em>, <em>The Night House<\/em>, and <em>Hellraiser<\/em>. <strong>Scott Derrickson<\/strong>, <strong>Mike Flanagan<\/strong>, <strong>Justin Martinez<\/strong>, <strong>Flying Lotus<\/strong>, <strong>Kate Siegel<\/strong>, <strong>Natasha Kermani<\/strong>, and so many others have all left their fingerprints on the series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s the beauty of <em>V\/H\/S<\/em>. It\u2019s not just an anthology. It\u2019s a launchpad, a playground, and a place where filmmakers can get weird in the best possible way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <em>V\/H\/S: SCP<\/em>, it sounds like the franchise is once again cracking open a new tape and finding something dangerous inside. I couldn\u2019t be happier to see <em>V\/H\/S<\/em> continue to evolve, and I can\u2019t wait to see what terrifying footage gets uncovered next.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project is slated for theatrical release in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"single-tags\">Tags: V\/H\/S V\/H\/S: SCP <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"categories single-categories\">Categorized:News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As some of you might know, before there was Southbound and before there was Terrifier, I helped create the V\/H\/S franchise, which now has so many sequels that even I\u2019ve lost count.
