The SCP Foundation is a fictional organization, and has the responsibility of locating and
containing individuals, entities, and objects that violate natural law.
The foundation has become infamous, with it housing a significant amount of subjects that
defying natural law, and all the we know about the world.
So, as you would expect there are many theories about the organizations, and it’s subjects.
So today on Top 5 Scary Videos, we’re going to be counting down the Top 5 Scary SCP Theories.
Before we begin, be sure to stick around until the end of the video where I’ll be responding
to some of your comments.
Lets jump in.
5 SCP-500 To begin, SCP 500 is a small plastic can which
contains 47 red pills.
One pill, when taken orally, effectively cures the subject of all diseases within two hours.
Now a theory posed on the SCP wiki by Zaratustra states, “SCP 500 doesn’t exist.
Cured cases were either treated with speciality cures, are lying about ever being sick, or
were eliminated.
SCP 500 is merely a plant for research staff to think they’ll be saved from dangerous
diseases they contract if their research is useful and irreplaceable enough.”
It’s a short theory, but definitely interesting.
What do you guys think?
Is SCP 500 real, or a just a creation by the Foundation?
Leave us your thoughts below.
4 SCP-096 To begin, SCP 096 is a humanoid creature.
It shows very little muscle mass, with preliminary analysis of body mass suggesting mild malnutrition.
Arms are grossly out of proportion with the rest of the subject’s body, with an approximate
length of 1.5 meters each.
Skin is mostly devoid of pigmentation, with no sign of any body hair.
It is described as normally docile, with pressure sensors inside its cell indicating it spends
most of the dat pacing by the eastern wall.
However, when someone views 096’s face, whether it be directly, or via a video recording,
it will enter a stage of considerable emotional distress.
Covering its face with its hands and begin screaming, crying, and balling incoherently.
Now, a theory posted to Undertow Games by Crowbar attempts to explain why 096 cries.
They state, “One of his most defining characteristics when docile is his crying.
What is he crying over?”
They go on to suggest, I quote, “the reason 096 cries is because of us?”
Now -- there’s no reasonable explanation for this -- and many have questioned what
would happen if 096 looked in a mirror and saw its own reflection, stating, “he would
likely try and kill the mirror as he has no intelligence, but if he does realized that
he’s views his own face and destroyed a mirror instead of himself, he might be distracted.”
What are your theories about SCP-096?
3 SCP-1422 To begin, let’s examine 1422.
1422 us an anomalous phenomenon that, prior to July 9th, 2007, prevented all Foundation
personnel from learning the existence of Yellowstone National Park.
So, a theory posted to SCP wiki by Westrin attempts to connect 1422 with SCP-2000.
I quote, “The entrance to SCP-2000 is disguised as a disused Park Ranger Station in Yellowstone
National Park, and I am incredibly sure 2000 was made before July 2007, which was when
1422 revealed itself.
So here’s the theory, “SCP 1422 is an unexpected side effect of an SCP-2000 activation.
Everybody form something and 2000 begins to replicate humans at a rapid pace.
However, when 2000 was created they missed a tiny glitch in the human machinery.
When the machine activated, it caused a high power temporal anomaly that covered the entire
solar system.
From a long time ago to 2007, SCP 2000 has been making humans, but the temporal anomaly
made it seem like it was still populated.
It would continuously obtain copies of an individual from a random reality and displace
them rapidly into the universe like frames in a flipnote.
Because of this, the temporal anomaly from 2000 creating humans from that broken time
period is in a separate dimension to Foundation personnel, because of their high state of
existence to the anomalous.”
-- Honestly, these theories are hurting my brain -- but I love it.
2 SCP-049 Before we even get into this theory, we should
first discuss 049, for those of you who aren’t familiar.
049 is a humanoid entity, which the bears the appearance of a medieval plague doctor.
It appears to be wearing thick robes and the ceramic mask indicative of that profession,
however, the garments seem to have grown out of 049’s body over time, and are now nearly
indistinguishable from whatever form is beneath them.
It is capable of speech in a variety of languages, and is generally cordial and cooperative with
the Foundation staff.
However, it can become irritated or at times outright aggressive if it feels that it is
in the presence of what it calls the “Pestilence”.
Although the exact nature of this Pestilence is currently unknown to Foundation researches,
it does seem to be an issue of immense concern to 049.
Now, this theory posted to Reddit by Obviously Steve states, “The pestilence is death.
Just straight up death.
He thinks everyone’s infected because obviously everyone’s dying, and the millions of people
he’s seen die from it are just people who died from old age.
This is also why he considers his horrible resurrections a cure: he beats death.
Perhaps these entities are immortal by the foundation wouldn’t know since they kill
them on sight.
Also, perhaps the reason he decided Dr. Hamm had the pestilence had to be cured was because
he saw signs of him aging.
Grey hair, wrinkles, and he just went into cure mode.”
1 A Unified Theory of Anomalies Posted on the SCP Foundation wiki by D-07436
they say, “I was just thinking if it is possible that ALL of the anomalies/SCPs/weird
stuff that happens “in-universe” could be explained by some theory, or some sort
of theoretical model.”
They go on to say that, I quote, “The physical universe that the SCP Foundation exists in
could be a sub-universe of a larger construct, and alongside this universe could be the parallel
universes, and some of the pocket dimensions could be simply little pockets of parallel
universes.
And, enclosing all these parallel universes/dimensions is a multitude of realities, and one must
obey the laws and meta-rules applied from the ones above it.
And, above all these in-universes in which the SCP stories exist is OUR universe, which
horror writers are the gods that decided the rules and breaking of rules of, the entire
SCP “story universe”.
An example of this is that we could argue that many of the sentient objects are actually
sentient beings outside of the universe but only has access/control over certain things
within the current physical universe.
I quote, “Like how 173 is an extra-universal sentient being that monitors the universe
at a meta level and dislikes not being observed.
Or 682 is an extra-universal/meta being that simply cannot be destroyed.”
It’s a convoluted theory, and confusing for those unfamiliar with the foundation and
it’s innerworkings, that’s for sure.
But it’s an interesting theory nonetheless, and I suggest you guys read the full post,
it will be linked below.
Well, there we have it!
Do you guys agree with our list?
Do you have any other SCP theories that we missed?
Leave us all your thoughts and feelings in the comments down below and perhaps we can
do a part 2.
Before I go though, I just want to respond to a few comments from one of our last videos,
Top 5 Scariest Teen Horror Movies.
Hance Harmon said, “Lucy McPhee is my LGBTQ Heroine - Smart, Sarcastic, and Sexy!
You’re awesome!”
-- WOW, what a title, bless up.
Much appreciated.
Thanks so much!
Brandon Campbell said, “If death wants you he will get you.”
-- Spitting the hard truth here.
Dustin Heath said “Lucy, your’s and everyone else’s obvious passion for compiling these
videos definitely shows in your presentation of the material.
It’s your actual dedication to the subject matter that makes these videos that make it
much more enjoyable.
Hope to see you all around for quite some time.”
-- THANK YOU, honestly.
This is probably one of my favourite comments.
Jack and I, as you’ll know, have a huge passion for all things scary -- particularly
when it comes to movies.
I’m glad you’re all seeing that and appreciating it.
Thank you.
Jimmy Key said, “Lucy would definitely be a final girl in a horror movie scenario.”
-- Aww, that’s sweet.
But, I would be the villain -- let’s be real.
