Name a monster that blew up bigger than Sirenhead in 2020 in the next five seconds: GO!
Five, four, three, two, one…
Time’s up!
Did you come up with anything compelling?
I doubt it, but please feel free to prove me wrong down in the comments.
Until then, I’m going to run with the assumption that Sirenhead is THE internet monster at
the moment.
The wild and pervasive popularity might have calmed down for the time being, but you can’t
deny the iron grip it had on the online horrorsphere for a little while there.
In fact, there have probably been more supposed Sirenhead sightings in the past few months
than ever before!
So let’s all get up to speed on some of the more interesting Sirenhead detections
right now.
Of course, Sirenhead was created by Trevor Henderson, and if you love this monster, go
check out some more of his work.
Also, some of the renditions of the tall, loud lad were drawn up by other creators,
and all of the links to their work will be in the description.
Remember!
If you like horror art, you should be supporting the artists!
Wicked!

for more lengthy lists.
Alright, let’s get to it.
NUMBER FIVE: LENLOVECRAFT’S SUNSET SIGHTING As the summer months drag on, more and more
folks will be posting pictures of the lovely sunsets they see.
Everyone loves a good nuclear orb lowering in the sky, and we’ve all got smartphones
these days.
Snap a pic, toss it on a social media story, rinse, repeat.
Except, some pictures tend to be a little more creepy than others.
But sunset shots are so, well, expected at this point, you might just click right through
without seeing what is really interesting.
Take this photo for example.
LenLovecraft posted it on his Twitter in early July with the following caption:
“I have this habit.
Sometimes on the drive back from work I get lucky and catch a nice sunset so I take a
picture.
It wasn’t until later that I took a good look at just what I’d captured…
I think I’m going to be taking another way home.”
Seems like pretty standard sunset fare, with some cars on the road ahead, traffic lights
giving Len an opportunity to stop and snap a shot, and wait.
That’s not a telephone pole.
Or a power line.
Uh oh.
The thing is, I doubt that taking a different way home will stop Sirenhead from catching
up to you if it really wants to.
I wonder if any of the other drivers saw it, too.
NUMBER FOUR: FORLORNFOUNDRY’S THE SIREN CALLS
If you’re at all familiar with the filmmakers known as ForlornFoundry, you know what you’re
in for here.
They tend to make all sorts of spooky (and sometimes goofy) live-action SCP videos.
It seems they’ve made an exception to their largely SCP-focused content to put together
a wicked little fan trailer for a Sirenhead movie.
Remember folks: Sirenhead isn’t an SCP!
In this trailer, we’re treated to some old camcorder footage of a family seemingly on
vacation.
It looks like they’ve made a trip up to the cottage, with hammocks and tree climbing
and all sorts of other fun summer activities.
The footage is a little grainy, but that’s just the technology of the time, right?
Look a little closer, though, and you’ll find that there are some less than savoury
elements lurking in the background.
In the woods, a siren can be picked out of the foliage.
Along a dark road at night, one might be able to see a long limb or two.
The scariest of all comes from the vantage point of a high-up hill.
Fog fills the valleys, as someone tapes a child running around.
As they pan, the camera picks up a siren poking out of the fog.
They turn further, and another one appears.
The sound of sirens overtakes the distorted guitar track and whoever is behind the camera
starts to panic.
It’s a deeply unsettling experience, pairing this supposedly found footage with close-up
shots of a missing persons report.
If that sounds like your kind of jam, go check it out.
Who knows, maybe a feature-length endeavour is in the works!
NUMBER THREE: A COLOURING BOOK?
You would think that the realm of black-and-white, big-print children’s books would be safe
from monsters, right?
Maybe you’d run into some vampires and mummies around Halloween, but in largely harmless
forms.
However, it seems that Sirenhead, and a host of other Trevor Henderson creations, have
made their way into a colouring book for everyone to enjoy.
That’s right.
Sirenhead has been sighted in the Fun With Monsters colouring book.
Flip through over 18 pages of between-the-lines craziness!
Bet you didn’t expect that to make the list, eh?
HumanPerson, also known as Matt Pierce, put together this lovely little tome and packed
it full of well-known Henderson-verse creatures.
In addition to Sirenhead, there’s also Bridge Worms, Big Charlie, Long Horse, Cartoon Cat,
and so many more.
So if seeing photos and videos wasn’t enough, now you can print and colour Sirenhead yourself!
I’d personally do it up in bright pinks and blues, but that might detract from the
spooky-factor.
If this is something that tickles your fancy, you can actually buy the complete colouring
book online right now, or print out the PDF from the comfort of your own home.
If your printer starts making weird, wailing noises, just ignore it.
Everything will be ok.
NUMBER TWO: MORE ALEX HOWARD SIGHTINGS Remember that render of the absolutely enormous
Sirenhead wreaking havoc in a downtown area?
You know, the one that blew up on TikTok and featured the Chicago sirens?
Well, the guy who made that one has put out a few more.
And boy, are they unsettling.
In Mid-may, Mr. Howard posted a video with the caption “this thing keeps following
me.”
It starts with a vertical video moving through the trees, and seems like it might just be
a paranoid person recording their point of view.
Watch a little longer, though, and the threat becomes apparent.
Sirenhead, towering over trees and power lines, is lumbering along behind him, awash in the
glow of a sunset.
A little longer, and it’ll be dark out.
Then you’re really in trouble.
Another post by the same guy showcases a particularly odd telephone pole at the side of a country
road.
But wait, that isn’t a telephone pole, now is it?
Sirenhead’s long arms and legs are on full display here, swaying back and forth as it
waits for an unlucky motorist to stop on the side of the road.
It really does blend in well with man-made infrastructure.
Makes you think about what else it could use as camouflage.
NUMBER ONE: THE SUNSET HUNTER It truly seems that sunset is the most common
time to catch a glimpse of Sirenhead.
Trevor himself posted this new sighting, where it seems that Sirenhead is really doing its
best to blend in with stuff humans have made.
Along with a striking sunset silhouette, he also included some additional lore which may
be of interest to you folks.
Apparently it can make adjustments to its body in order to blend in better with its
surroundings.
In this case, Sirenhead can pop its limbs in towards its body and lengthen its middle
to look more like a telephone pole.
This strategy is used while stalking prey, and again, Sirenhead can remain motionless
for extended periods of time.
One truly terrifying detail that Trevor added is that it isn’t uncommon for someone living
in a neighbourhood to notice a new telephone pole, and then realize that it disappeared
soon after.
Oh, and the neighbours are gone too.
Weird.
Most sightings have taken place in less populated wooded areas, but lately it seems as though
Sirenhead is venturing out into more urban environments.
It’s taking advantage of the fact that folks often just don’t look up while walking around.
Because really, when was the last time you purposefully looked up to see the top of a
telephone pole?
Maybe incorporate that habit into your daily routine now.
It just might save your bacon.
OUTRO Alright, we’re all caught up now.
Doesn’t it worry you that Sirenhead is slowly but surely heading out of the woods and into
the suburbs and urbs?
Keep an eye out.
So what did you think of the list?
Any of these sightings really capture your attention?
Have you ever seen Sirenhead?
Make sure you let me know down in the comments.
Speaking of comments, let’s take a look at some of your more pithy ones from the TOP
5 SCARIEST SCP MONSTERS FROM SERIES 4: Jayden Clark says “I have to sleep with
the covers over me completely now.”
Good call, just make sure that no fingers or toes are sticking out.
Give the monsters under your bed an inch, and they’ll take a mile.
MooCow of Justice says “Researcher Talloran was the SCP article that made me a dedicated
fan.
I remember getting mad at the author for writing something so well.”
We’ve all been there, looking at something and thinking: DAMN IT!
Why are you so good at what you do?
It’s a great way to set goals for yourself, though!
Luke Reeves says “As soon as I hear “arachnophobes better leave the room,” I enter that room.”
So are you trying to tell us that you’re an arachnophile?
Interesting choice!
What does it for you?
The eight legs?
The many eyes?
The fangs?
Adam Guarr says “Dan Harmon, are you listening?
Me - SOUTH PARK DID IT!
Lol” Ahhhh I always forget that the immutable rule
of the universe is that “Simpsons did it!,” and if that proves false, then “SOUTH PARK
DID IT!”
Sabastian Bishop says “Keegan, explain your desire for a Miltank.”
Stealth Rock, Milk Drink, the fact that it’s a pink bipedal cow, you know.
Michael Whitehead says “How many members of the Ethics Committee does it take to change
a lightbulb?
None!
The Ethics Committee can’t change anything!”
Somebody get this man a mic and a glass of water!
He’s ready for the big times!
And that’s all the time we have for today!
