Neon is developing an anthology film based on the SCP Foundation's horror fiction, set for theatrical release in 2027. Unlike A24's earlier SCP-based V/H/S film, which sparked community backlash for not contacting the SCP Wiki team or pledging a CC BY-SA license, Neon proactively engaged with the SCP Wiki administrators and committed to releasing the film under the required Creative Commons Share Alike license. The film will showcase emerging filmmakers and highlight the SCP community's creative talents, though it will not be an official SCP production, as no staff are involved and no compensation is provided.
The SCP Foundation Wiki will not endorse the film, per its own rules against endorsements. The SCP Wiki admin team praised Neon's communication and license compliance, expressing appreciation for its collaborative spirit. In contrast, the admins criticized A24's approach and invited dialogue to explore compliant distribution options.
The SCP Wiki, launched in 2008, hosts collaborative horror fiction about the fictional SCP Foundation, which studies anomalous objects. Notable entries include SCP-173, a statue that moves only when not observed; SCP-096, a humanoid that becomes violent if its face is seen; and SCP-3008, an infinite IKEA-like dimension with hostile staff.
