In a world full of anomalous, supernatural, unexplainable items, you know there are gonna
be a whole lot of folks scrambling to get their hands on stuff that will benefit them.
Whether it’s for profit, prestige, or just a laugh, there are plenty of organizations
who exist alongside the Foundation in the arena of mysterious entities.
Sometimes they work together, sometimes they compete, sometimes it’s just a coincidence
that they’re in the same room at the same time.
Whatever might be happening, you can be sure of one thing: it’s gonna be scary.
Firstly because of the often dangerous anomalies involved, and secondly because most of the
folks who decide to take up a career in paranormal management are pretty twisted to begin with.
You don’t have too many regular Joes leaving their family home in the morning to go and
overthrow governments with the power of weaponized supernatural objects.
Of course, the Foundation is also pretty scary. Just think about D-class and pray to whatever
you believe in that you don’t end up there one day.
Thankfully, the Foundation is pretty squarely on the side of benefiting humanity and keeping
everything safe. That can’t be said about too many other
organizations on the list today. Hello horror heads, and welcome back to the
scariest channel on YouTube: Top5ScaryVideos. I’m your horror host, Keegan Hughes, and
today we’re counting down the biggest and baddest of the underground alliances in the
SCP universe: it’s time for the Top 5 Scary SCP Secret Societies.
Before we get started, make sure to give this video a big thumbs up, and subscribe for more
SCPWiki wickedness. Outstanding, let’s begin.
NUMBER FIVE: THE GLOBAL OCCULT COALITION The GOC is like a sister organization to the
Foundation. A scrappy, violent, often shortsighted sister.
No relation. After World War II, there was plenty going
on in the world, plenty of folks scrambling to hang on to little pieces of power and safety.
This meant that all sorts of splintery pieces from the powers-that-be found each other,
and created a new alliance. Remnants from defecting occultists, psychics,
priests, and scientists from all sides of the war came together to form a worldwide
task force. Where the Foundation chooses to secure, contain,
and protect, the Global Occult Coalition decides to destroy.
To combat the spread of paranormal entities and protect the general public, the GOC will
annihilate anything they deem to be dangerous. Nowadays, it functions similarly to an anomalous
United Nations: an openly political organization that takes actions which affect the world
at large. They see themselves as the police of the paranormal
world, and pride themselves on the destruction of supernatural entities.
The GOC achieves this through the use of experimental high-tech weaponry, often received from their
benefactors. Over the years, they have destroyed many SCPs
before the Foundation even had a chance to obtain and contain them.
This puts the two organizations at odds, but even so they often work together towards mutual
goals. Teamwork doesn’t mean that they get along
though, as there have been many times that the two organizations have been at odds.
Plus, as a highly efficient eraser of entities, the GOC holds the Foundation in contempt for
their use and containment of SCPs. Too soft, too weak, they think.
But what’s worse? Containing entities with a risk of breach? Or outright destroying them,
mitigating risk, but removing an element from our world?
NUMBER FOUR: ARE WE COOL YET? I ask myself this every day. The answer is
always no. Now that I’ve got the requisite self-deprecation
out of the way, we can talk about this collective of anomalous artists. Also known as anartists,
but I can’t see that catching on. The folks in AWCY often obtain and produce
anomalous objects and entities, using them to create art installations.
Usually these are placed for maximum public exposure, which puts a lot of people at risk.
Plenty of the exhibitions have proven to be fatal to bystanders.
Goddamnit banksy. Wherever they go, they will leave the phrase
Are We Cool Yet somewhere in some form. Keep an eye open for that if you value your
life more than street art. With no real central structure to their society,
they rely on independent cells to get things going.
Artists tend to work independently unless forced to do otherwise, I guess.
This led to plenty of offshoots, and lots of artists making art revolving around anomalous
objects, beings, and phenomena. Because of the lack of structure, there isn’t
a real way to describe the whole of AWCY. However, with members of the public often
falling victim to their artwork, the movement has often been labelled as a bunch of art
terrorists. Placing anomalous art in random galleries,
creating public pieces, even splintering off further and having anomalous memes made.
It’s too easy to stumble across a piece of this paranormal pastiche, so be careful
out there. NUMBER THREE: DOCTOR WONDERTAINMENT
This is a hard one to classify, as so much of it seems to be shrouded in mystery.
Is it an individual? Or a collective? Could Doctor Wondertainment be a real person,
like a SCP Willy Wonka? Presiding over all sorts of hypothetical paranormal Oompa Loompas?
Regardless of what it is behind the scenes, it is known that the good doctor produces
anomalous artifacts and entities that resemble children’s toys.
The nature of these things varies widely, but all of them were clearly intended to be
used by children. Are they safe for use by children? Usually
absolutely not. Whether this comes from a place of misguided
wonder, or terrifying sadism, it’s hard to say.
Although it is quite obvious that Doctor Wondertainment is indeed a capitalist construct.
Collect! Find! Buy! These are all calls to action Wondertainment might put to use.
For a collective supposedly obsessed with childhood wonder and imagination, they are
very, very concerned with intellectual property and the like.
You gotta make money somewhere, I guess! From collectable human beings with strange
anomalous qualities, to masks that make anomalies into human children, there’s all sorts of
weird and wacky stuff going on here. Also, a connection to the 05 council, and
the Scarlet King, depending on your headcanon. The fun and wonder side of this is real, but
there is definitely some darkness creeping behind it.
Add in an apparent connection to the mythical factory, and you’ve got a creepy mystery
indeed. Plus, the fact that these anomalies are all
disguised as kids toys is highly dangerous. Nobody needs children accessing paranormal
forces, okay? NUMBER TWO: MARSHALL, CARTER, AND DARK LTD.
This is a club based in London who caters to the super-rich.
Through their membership, MCD has been able to develop extensive political and financial
ties worldwide. This often causes many problems for the Foundation.
At the behest of their wealthy members, Marshall, Carter, and Dark LTD. will collect rare and
obscure paranormal items, and provide exclusive, expensive, and unparalleled experiences.
This, of course, comes with all sorts of risks, including revealing anomalous entities to
the public. Often, these activities will result in conflict
with the Foundation. Whether it’s procuring an SCP before the
Foundation can, or actively lobbying for the breach of skips-of-interest, this calamitous
country club causes all sorts of problems. They’re not known for use of force, though.
No, not when financial and political pressure will do.
And if that’s not enough, they have been known to hire outside agents, ones that will
be very difficult to connect to the original firm.
Containment breaches caused by MCD LTD. are relatively common, which is quite dangerous.
Money and social pressure go a long way, especially when they’re being applied by a shadowy
procurer of extraterrestrial experiences. Two containment sites were almost brought
to public attention after the Foundation refused access to MCD members.
Rich brats are hard to say no to, because they’ll use insane amounts of money and
power as leverage. Of course, being rich and powerful, it’s
very hard to acquire useful information about them.
Agents who run into members of this group are advised to maintain their cover story,
and not reveal Foundation ties or SCP info. Who knows what they would do, or pay, to get
their hands on information. NUMBER ONE: THE CHAOS INSURGENCY
The scariest enemies are the ones who come from within.
The Chaos Insurgency is a splinter group of the Foundation, created by a rogue cell that
went AWOL, taking with them several dangerous SCP objects.
Since their betrayal, they have become a major player on the world stage, using anomalies
for benefit and to consolidate power. They don’t only deal in anomalies either,
they’re well-known for weapons dealing and intelligence work.
The Chaos Insurgency will make use of authoritarian regimes in poor and developing countries to
further their goals. They use the populations of these nations
like D-Class subjects, and manipulate the economy and world events to maintain poverty
and war. This ensures they can continue their experimentation,
conscript forces easily, and make deals with opposing forces.
Since severing ties with the Foundation, they’ve acquired many anomalous objects, most of which
are unknown to anyone outside the organization. However, some notable SCPs they took with
them while defecting include the Staff of Hermes, which warps physical and chemical
properties of matter, and the Bell of Entropy, which can cause various destructive effects
based on where it is struck. These items lead people to think that most
of the anomalous items they collect have high potential for direct utility; none of the
difficult to contain or impractical ones the Foundation works so hard to contain.
Right now, they’ve gone totally ghost. Their base of operations is unknown, as well as
any current leaders. All the Foundation knows for sure is that
the Chaos Insurgency is directly antagonistic to the Foundation: often using deadly force
to prevent containment of anomalies. In fact, members of the Insurgency may very
well have infiltrated the Foundation, and are lying in wait right now.
Watch the containment units.
The Foundation is not alone, and is definitely not the most dangerous secret group out there.
They better keep some allies satisfied, seems like they can use all the help they can get.

Speaking of comments, let’s take a quick look at some of your more covert ones from
the TOP 5 DISGUSTING HORROR MOVIES THAT WILL CHANGE YOU - PART 2:
Stevie Baker says “Going to fetch a bucket, ready to snuggle down and start watching these
sick puppies thanks for the recommendations Keegan.”
Enjoy! Just remember to wash out the bucket afterwards!
Andyovthedead says “I would rather be disemboweled with a rusty fork than watch Slaughtered Vomit
Dolls ever again” Well, I’m sure one of our commenters would
be happy to do that for you. Any volunteers? Filthy McNasty says “These movies are just
awesome” Yup, that name checks out.
SULKING 01 says “Hey” That’s a damn fine comment you got there.
Elvin Rey says “Wait! Suicide Squad didn’t make the list?”
Suicide Squad transcends ratings, transcends taste itself. If I were to include it in the
runnings, it would top every list I ever made, so I choose to ignore it.
That’s all the time we have for today! Before I head off to eat barbed wire like spaghetti,
