Hello horror fans - and once again, welcome back to the scariest channel on YouTube - Top
5 Scary Videos - the place where we eat amorphous anomalous entities for breakfast, because
there’s no special containment procedure for us - at least, as far as we know.
What’s going on guys - as always, I’ll be your lead researcher - as today, we dive
into something a little different.
If you’ve seen any of my videos over on Life’s Biggest Questions, then you’ll
know that I know a thing or two about that weird place known only as the SCP Foundation.
What’s that - you might ask?
Well, stick around to find out - as we take a look a the Top 5 Scariest SCP Creatures
That Will Keep You Up Tonight.
Roll the clip.
Alright now guys - be prepared, because we’re about to slip down a rabbit hole that’s
pretty hard to crawl back out from.
The SCP Foundation first emerged on the x-boards of 4chan, a subforum dedicated to all things
paranormal - and this original work of fiction spawned one of the largest collaborative writing
projects that the internet has ever - or will ever - see.
Honestly, the amount of dedication and time spent to honing this weird, creepy world is
staggering.
We could spend an entire video just discussing the Foundation’s origins, but the best way
for me to show you - is to talk about the weird things that lurk inside their archives.
Before we do that though, you know how it is by now guys - if you’re a fan of this
video, the SCP Foundation, shadowy organisations or just Top 5 Scary Videos in general - then

If you’d like to get in touch with myself or the creative team here at Top 5 Scary,
then take a peek at the info box below.
On with the show.
Kicking off at Number 5 - is SCP 610.
And this is one skin crawling introduction to the bizarre world of the SCP Foundation.
Also known as The Flesh That Hates - which, you know, sounds terrifying enough all on
it’s own.
SCP-610 is a Keter class anomaly - which in the world of the foundation means really,
really bad.
In essence, SCP-610 is a highly contagious skin disease - which once it has infected
a host, they’re consumed by scar tissue that grows at a disgustingly rapid rate, twisting
and mutilating the individual into a writhing mass of bursting flesh.
Infected subjects have been recorded as growing three or more limbs - such as arms or legs,
and their head becomes misshapen and elongated - causing them to resemble a quadrupedal that
struggles to maintain motion.
The Flesh That Hates really does hate everything and everyone, and it’s soul motivation is
to infect as many living beings as it can.
The Foundation is pretty terrified of this anomaly, and as so far - there are zero special
containment procedures for it.
Coming in at Number 4 - SCP 049.
AKA - The Plague Doctor - and this guy is pretty iconic when it comes to the Foundation’s
fandom.
Of course he is, he’s a plague doctor - the most fashionable of all -- doctors?
I don’t know.
SCP-049 is a Euclid class humanoid entity - which in the Foundation’s standards, means
that he’s kinda alright, but they still keep a close eye on him because he’s unpredictable.
He appears in thick black robes with a ceramic mask indicative of the medieval plague doctor
profession.
He’s also highly intelligent, willingly conversing with Foundation researchers on
a regular basis.
Doesn’t sound that bad, right?
Well - SCP-049 has one motivation.
To eliminate - what he commonly refers to as The Pestilence, and this skip goes to great
lengths to combat it’s overwhelming presence, becoming highly aggressive and horrifyingly
resourceful when he believes an individual is infected.
If left unchecked, SCP-049 will cause all biological functions of an organism to cease
through direct skin contact - and then begin to conduct, what it refers to as - surgery
- on the victim.
In short, SCP-049 is a medieval necromancer convinced that humanity is a plague on the
planet.
Great stuff.
Next up at Number 3 - SCP 096.
Uhh - imagine a creature - that once it has targeted you, nothing - literally, nothing
- on the planet can stop it from tracking you down, ending your life in agonising pain
- and then consuming you from head to toe.
Well, let me introduce you to SCP 096 - in essence, the most terrifyingly clingy creature
on the planet.
096 is a humanoid entity, that is grossly twisted out of proportion - with nearly zero
muscle mass, and long, claw like arms that dangle below its waist.
The thing that makes this skip so oppressive - is that the only containment procedure is
to ensure that no one ever views it’s face, because that’s the trigger that results
in 100% of cases being brutally killed.
Whenever some views SCP-096’s face - be it directly, via video recording - or even
a photograph - it enters a stage of bizarre emotional distress - screaming, crying and
babbling - and then begin running to the person - or persons - who viewed its image.
And then it’s goodnight Vienna - lights out.
Brrr.
Creepy stuff.
Swinging in at Number 2 - SCP 106
Also known as The Old Man - and perhaps the most nightmare inducing creature in the entirety
of the SCP Foundation.
106 is a Keter class anomaly - which means that it’s really, really, really bad - and
the Foundation goes to extremely difficult lengths in maintaining it’s containment.
So bad - that this guy is contained in a sealed container of lead-lined steel - times forty!
- as well as a secondary containment area of various chemical fluid spheres under 24
hour surveillance.
So why is the Foundation so terrified of this guy?
Well, 106 is completely unkillable - appearing to be an elderly humanoid at an advanced stage
of decomposition - in a constant state of rot.
It currently serves on purpose - to hunt down it’s prey, usually a human within the 10-25
years of age bracket - incapacitate them by damaging their major organs, and then pull
them into its pocket dimension where SCP-096 coats them in it’s digestive fluids and
slowly feasts on them.
Yeah - what a way to go, right?
Well, the Foundation is stumped - and no physical interaction is allowed at any time.
Until they come up with some form of solution, SCP-106 is locked away in a box - and the
Foundation hopes for the best.
Eh - not so comforting.
And finally, at our Number 1 spot - The Scarlet King.
Of course - of course, we have to end with the big bad baddy of the SCP Universe - and
that’s saying something, because - well - there’s a lot of them.
All of them pale in comparison to the King of the Darkness Below, who is painstakingly
kept at bay in a futile attempt by the Foundation.
In the end, the Scarlet King will be summoned - and the world has to cross its fingers and
hope the Foundation have got themselves in gear.
The Scarlet King is a cosmic god - whose awareness brought him great pain, and thus declared
a war on existence itself - with the soul intention to utterly destroy all life.
In the canon, he had seven bride-daughters, who birthed seven Leviathans as his children
- some of which are entities under the Foundation’s containment.
There is one glimmer of hope though - because the Scarlet King’s seventh bride-daughter,
birthed SCP-999 - perhaps the most joyous and loving creature in the known universe.
It is the that the only way to defeat The Scarlet King is with light and love and laughter
- that can brighten the blackest of hearts.
But - well - that’s a story for another video.
Unfortunately folks, that’s all we’ve got time for in today’s Top 5 Scary list
