GoKawiilA24's V/H/S: SCP film faces backlash over lack of community contact
A24 is producing a new V/H/S horror anthology entry set in the SCP Foundation universe, following its earlier success with Backrooms. Unlike that project, the studio appears not to have engaged the SCP Foundation Wiki community, which says it has received no communication from filmmakers despite reaching out multiple times.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
SCP Foundation content is distributed under a Creative Commons ShareAlike license requiring derivative works to remain similarly open, creating potential legal and ethical friction for a commercial studio adaptation. The backlash also highlights the risk studios take when mining internet-born creepypasta communities for content without engaging the fans and creators who built that lore.
- A24 is adapting SCP Foundation lore into a new V/H/S anthology film.
- The SCP Wiki says it has not been contacted by the filmmakers despite reaching out.
- SCP's Creative Commons ShareAlike license raises questions about how the adaptation handles community-created content.
