Item #: SCP-031-J
Object Class: Euclid

Description: SCP-031-J is an event that occurs annually.
Analyses of trends have pinpointed the event to fall on October ██, however minor fluctuations
are suspected.
The trend of appearance of the event mainly occurs in North America and Western Europe,
however rogue instances of SCP-031-J may manifest in various cities worldwide.
At the time of an SCP-031-J event, several instances of SCP-031-J-1 will manifest on
various city streets.
Appearances of instances of SCP-031-J-1 vary wildly, however they have been described as
mainly grotesque.
Some instances appear to imitate historical figures or pop culture icons.
Typically instances will be much shorter than an average adult, with an average height of
~1.4 meters.
Instances of SCP-031-J-1 will approach households in an ordered fashion and exclaim "█████ or
█████". The exact meaning of this phrase is unknown, however researchers have
suggested that this may indicate that the instances will damage the household or owners
unless they are given some form of appeasement.
This is verified by the giving of candy to instances of SCP-031-J-1, which appears to
appease them until the next household.
Shorter instances of SCP-031-J-1 show a tendency to place various adult humans in a trance
state.
Subjects act with a spirit of benevolence towards instances, and will fiercely defend
instances in case of attack.
Footnote 1:This has made retrieval of instances of SCP-031-J-1 difficult.
SCP-031-J also has several other effects:
Adolescents, especially males, show a marked tendency to vandalize households through creative
uses of toilet paper Pumpkins displaying faces of varying delight
and malevolence appear on the doorsteps of households
The transformation of various households into what researchers have described as "terrifying."
Normal households may gain cobwebs, graves, whisk brooms, and animate humanoid corpses
along their exterior.
Footnote 2:Corpses do not appear capable of full locomotion
