Now if you know anything about the terrifying world of the SCP Foundation - you’ll know
that entries titled XK Extinction Level Event - is usually tantamount to what is otherwise
known as a Very Bad Thing.
If you’ve seen our recent End Of The World Theories video you’ll know that our reality
is jam-packed full of scientific calamities that could make this whole thing go boom - but
fiction?
Fiction has the privilege of imagining the most painful and excruciating ways that the
world can end.
So let’s take a look, shall we?
Hello horror fans and welcome back to the scariest channel on YouTube - Top 5 Scary
Videos.
As always, I’ll be your horror host Jack Finch - as today, we peer back through the
terrifying archives of the SCP Foundation - and take a look at the Top 5 SCP’s That
Can End The World.
Roll the clip.
For those of you that are curious, that clip was from the awesome 2012 release - The Cabin
in the Woods - and I have nothing more to add, other than the fact that it is a fantastic
movie - and if you haven’t yet seen it, you should.
Without further delay, let’s slide on in.
Kicking off at Number 5 - SCP-2317.
And I’m sure you’ll all appreciate this fact - but this video is going to have a lot
of jumbled numbers throughout - because you know, that’s how catalogue systems work,
right?
Well, let me introduce you to SCP-2317 - which is the perfect way to demonstrate the levels
of secrecy that the SCP Foundation operates.
So much so, that depending on what level of security clearance you have, the more you’ll
know about 2317 - and the more you’ll realise how absolutely screwed we’d all be if it
ever got out.
Essentially, SCP-2317 is a locked, wooden door that leads to an alternate reality.
Inside that reality, is a demonic anomalous entity that swallows planets whole - yet it’s
supposedly locked away by seven bones of another of its own species, binding it in a ritual
that by all accounts will prevent the end of all existence.
The thing is though - six of those bones are broken … and now, there’s only one of
those bones preventing it from escaping.
The Foundation goes to great lengths to fabricate a ritual which involves human sacrifice, which
it tells its lower ranking staff will prevent said end of the world.
Spoilers though - it doesn’t, and all it does is serve as a way to mentally distract
everyone from the inevitable end of all life.
Phew.
Heavy stuff.
Coming in at Number 4 - SCP-2399
Now - it’s important to note that there’s a slim chance that SCP-2399 won’t be a world
ending catastrophe after all, and it’s intentions are to simply land on Earth and usher in a
new age of technological prosperity - but, really guys, would we ever want to take that
risk?
Because I wouldn’t.
In short, SCP-2399 is a massive, alien continent sized complex mechanical structure that was
on course for Earth, before it was caught in the gravity of Jupiter’s moon of Io - causing
it to become stranded on the gas giant - automatically activating it’s self defence protocols,
resulting in what is known by astronomers as The Great Red Spot.
Now, SCP-2399 constantly dispenses fleets of small drones that slowly repair it, and
as far as the latest update goes - it’s nearly ready for completion.
The thing is - it’s encased in an indestructible force field that the Foundation currently
has no way of denting, or even scanning to figure out what the hell is going on underneath
there.
Their latest plan was known as Protocol Legionnaire - which essentially was firing a volley of
nuclear warheads, enough to wipe out civilization a thousand times over.
And guess what?
Not even a dent.
Whatever’s under there has got the Foundation spooked - and in all likelihood, will result
in the end of the world as we know it.
Hey, that’s a song right.
Next up at Number 3 - SCP-3003.
If any of you have a fear of the uncanny - then this one's for you - because if the thought
of being parasitically overthrown by a sentient alien bug sends shivers down your spine, then
let me introduce you to SCP-3003 - otherwise known as The End Of History.
Essentially, 3003 is an Earth sized planet 208 light years away from Earth - but aside
from distance, is near identical to our own.
However, it possesses a population of over 30 billion and is exponentially more technologically
advanced than our civilization - down to one small, but significant difference.
SCP-3003 is controlled by a beetle like organism that parasitizes human life and wants to bring
Earth under its influence.
Because of its ability to enslave human life under its hive mind, the planet of SCP-3003
has become highly advanced and is nearly at the point of becoming an interstellar civilization
- where it will arrive on Earth and infect us all with it’s mind-controlling amoeba
like organisms.
The thing is though guys - the 30 billion humanoids already under its control are possibly
the happiest people in the universe.
They’re healthy, they’re happy - they don’t partake in violent behaviour and abstain
from military conflict.
They have a resistance to pain and diseases - and are genetically engineered to be the
best space faring species that they can be.
But - they also lack all semblance of free will and self determination - so get the hell
away from my brain, you damn alien bug.
Swinging in at Number 2 - SCP-3007
Ooo - this one's a doozy.
And SCP-3007 is what is known in the Foundation as an infohazard - a keter class infohazard,
which in other words means it’s really, really bad.
An infohazard by nature wants to be spread - via knowledge and awareness - and as we
all know, you can’t kill an idea.
Essentially, 3007 is a simultaneous dream that people have - which exhibits them walking
through a strange world, not unlike our own.
If they’re injured in that world, they’re injured in real life.
If they die - they die - and there’s an entity imprisoned within it that wants nothing
more than to bleed out into our world to do the same.
It’s known as the Red.
Now, there’s a lot to this skip - and the canon surrounding it is very, very intricate.
But essentially, the Red is an anomalous entity that attached itself to a highly advanced
alien civilization that had reached space exploration and stumbled upon it.
Over hundreds of years it used this unfortunate civilization as it’s play thing - twisting
and contorting them into monstrosities, and warping their world for its own sadistic pleasure.
And guess what - it wants to do exactly the same to our world, and is slowly luring people
to it’s awareness through the power of dreams.
Currently, the only way to contain this spread is to terminate all people who become aware
of the infohazard - and as far as a plans concerned - there is none.
And finally - at our Number 1 spot - SCP-001-SDL
Alright - as far as fiction goes, SCP-001 When Day Breaks is one of the most masterful
and horrifying stories told throughout the entire Foundation - and it’s a testament
to exactly what the SCP multiverse can produce.
Now, there’s no clear definition on what SCP-001 is - and instead, there are over 30
different proposals, which keep the whole thing ambiguous.
One of those proposals is SDL - or When Day Breaks - and it gives a whole new meaning
to ‘don’t go into the light’.
Essentially, SDL is an Extinction level event where the Sun has turned everyone on earth
into an amorphous goo, which still retains its sentience - and essentially reduces Earth’s
population to malevolent flesh zombies.
What is left is a bleak, inhospitable world for it’s survivors - people on the edge
of existence, roaming the Wasteland, trying to stay in the shadows - and avoid the roaming
hordes of melted flesh zombies.
What makes it worse though - is that the amorphous goo has a tendency to combine into each other.
Meaning that a large bulk of the 7 billion people on the planet have become burbling,
breathing masses of sentient fleshy goo - and they want you to join them - to step out into
the light, and be melted by the sun.
Man, I’d take regular zombies any day.
Well - there we have it folks, our list for the Top 5 SCP’s That Can End The World.
Before we depart though, let’s read out some of your more creative comments from over
the past few days.
Alexandria Rodriguez says - if you put a milkshake in the yard and crack a cold one out back
which one will the boys go to?
-- bloody hell that’s a difficult question.
I’m gonna say -- milkshake, then a cold one to wash it down.
Oh, I don’t know.
Cheetah Edits says -- What happens if u punch SCP 096 with out looking at the face?
-- Well buddy, I wouldn’t implore you to try - but if you managed to pull off a punch
like that, you’ve got my eternal respect.
Also, you’d probably just make it angry, then it’d eat you.
So don’t go punching Shy Guys in the face - please?
Well - on that note horror fans, cheers for sticking around all the way to the end.
