Another day, another SCP monster list!
I’m starting to think of SCPs in terms of Pokemon logic: gotta catch em all!
Wouldn’t that make a great app?
The Foundation GO?
They’ve done it for a bunch of other IPs, why not SCPs?
Make it happen internet!
They’re even conveniently numbered already!
The parallels are unparallelled!
Although there are only 807 total Pokemon, and well, you know how many SCPs there are.
Maybe just Series one or something, but now I’m rambling about my million-dollar idea.
Bringing it back in, there are so many terrifying SCPs to discuss, I’m always thrilled to
take another dive into the archives and find out some new stuff.
The lore deepens with every visit, and I honestly never imagined I would understand so much
of the assorted SCP canons.
So today I bring you a new offering of creepy crawlies that you’d be best to stay far,
far away from.
Hello horror heads, and welcome back to the scariest channel on YouTube: Top5ScaryVideos!
I’m your horror host, Keegan Hughes, and today we’re bringing you Part 7 of our Top
5 SCP Monsters that Can Never Escape series!
Lucky you!
Before we get started, make sure to give this video a big thumbs up, and subscribe for more
SCP insanity!
Wicked, let’s do it.
NUMBER FIVE: SCP-525 Name five things you never want in your eye
sockets: needles, dirt, hydrochloric acid, hot coffee, anything that isn’t your own,
personal eyeball.
Ok, well, what about spiders?
Eye spiders!
Speyeders…
Oh boy.
Well, that’s what SCP 525 is!
It’s a bunch of spider legs that want to steal your eyes!
Actually, it is a collection of multiple, disjointed arthropod legs, around 10-15cm
in length.
DNA tests have been inconclusive, but it seems like these spindly limbs are closest to those
of a brown recluse spider.
At the base of each leg are several minute hooks capable of perforating flesh.
Ah perforated flesh, makes me think of the days where I thought everything sounded like
a wicked band name…
Well actually that would be a good song name…
But I digress.
When these legs are alone, they remain motionless.
However, if eight of them are brought within 0.6 meters of each other, they will bunch
up into a group, and attach themselves into a single entity.
We’ll call this one 525-1.
Once a makeshift spider is formed, this eight-legged freak will crawl around and try to make contact
with the closest human or similar.
I say similar because they only respond to most large-to-moderate-sized mammals, and
even then not everything is attractive to them.
So once it finds a suitable eyeball producer, the spider will crawl towards the sockets.
It’ll center itself over the eye, and use four legs to secure the eyelid while the other
four extract the eye.
This is done with surgical precision, and 525 will take extreme care as to not damage
the eye.
Optic nerves are severed, the central retinal vein is sliced, it’s all very meticulous.
Once the eye is free, 525 will implant the base of each leg into the eye, and if allowed
to remain, the spider will lay some eggs in the host’s eye socket.
These will eventually sprout into new spider legs, which will then go a-hunting for more
eyeballs.
After 3 weeks or so, the eye will dehydrate, and the legs will begin to search for another.
So keep your safety goggles on, and maybe consider investing in a space helmet.
Unless you want the ocular arachnids coming by and snatching your sight-orbs.
NUMBER FOUR: SCP-4165 Is anyone in the audience a tortured artist?
Like, do you get an idea, and make it, and it doesn’t turn out how you want it?
Then you feel bad, and the failure torments you?
It looms like a dark, inky shadow in your mind, following you around as you attempt
to live a normal life?
I’m definitely not speaking from experience here, I’m just trying to make a connection
between you and the SCP we’re about to discuss!
SCP-4165 is a 28-year old human male, in pretty rough physical condition.
Lots of minor health problems here, but that all is non-anomalous.
The real abnormality is the ink monster that manifests and chases him.
We’ll call this dark blobular humanoid 4165-1.
4165-1 has the ability to change its shape, size, and physical state at will.
It will typically manifest around 50m away from 4165 and move towards it, avoiding any
existing obstacles.
No interest will be shown in other individuals, unless it is attacked or otherwise provoked.
If this is the case, it will harden it’s extremities and use them as weapons, or attempt
to fill the assailant’s mouth and nose with ink.
Not nearly as tasty as squid ink pasta, unfortunately.
If 4165-1 is immobilized or significantly harmed, it will de-manifest, and then wait
around 7-10 days before showing up again.
A nice week off for our poor 4165.
Coming back to the question I posed at the beginning of this entry, there is one instance
of the ink monster getting close enough to kill 4165.
It has never actually killed him though, instead if it gets nice and close it will pull a notebook
and black pen from a hole in its head.
This will greatly distress 4165, and often cause a panic attack.
If the book and pen are not accepted and used, the beast will savagely beat 4165.
It’s like writer’s block manifesting and kicking your ass.
UGH!
WRITE THE BOOK YOU IDIOT!
POW!
YOU TOLD EVERYONE YOU WERE GONNA DO IT AND NOW THEY THINK YOU’RE A HACK!
Existentially and creatively terrifying.
NUMBER THREE: SCP-4064 Maybe some of you folks in the audience would
want to meet these SCPs.
Sometimes it takes a little confidence boost and then heartbreak for you to get your life
back on track, no judgement.
4064 is a hive mind, capable of inhabiting six distinct bodies, each of which appears
as a light-skinned human woman with a golden face mask.
These instances are able to interact with their masks on a biological level, sharing
neuron impulses with each other, and perceiving their surroundings simultaneously.
Persuasion becomes more effective while wearing the masks as well.
The goal of the six individuals is to serve a deity referred to as Anatolia.
They all claim to be the Daughters of Anatolia, who need to nourish their goddess through
the collection of strong, negative emotion.
The gold mask-wearing sextet are known as Sisters, one of the multiple sub-groups of
the Daughters.
Sisters collect anguish, and go around forcing people to fall in love with them before breaking
their hearts.
The emotional ruin of men they seduce is delicious food for the goddess.
The Foundation was able to secure and contain two instances of The Sisters, and from various
interviews were able to find out about two more sub-groups: The Matrons, and the Pipers.
Matrons nourish Anatolia with torture and fear, and the Pipers murder innocent people
to collect pure mourning.
This sorrow at the passing of a loved one is considered the highest quality food for
the goddess.
I’ll take the breakup, thank you very much.
Maybe it’ll inspire me, I mean SCP-4165, to start writing again.
NUMBER TWO: SCP-2030 Be careful what you’re binging out there,
folks.
If you don’t check the titles closely, who knows what you’ll end up watching?
SCP-2030 is an anomalous phenomenon that manifests as a television series.
The medium through which it manifests changes with the times: right now it most often appears
on streaming services, while in the past it would show up as a DVD or VHS.
There’s no reliable evidence of it manifesting before 1993, but there are 38 seasons of programming,
implying it has been active to some degree since 1976.
The program’s title typically appears as LAUGH IS FUN, but other variations have been
observed, like Laugh is Life, and Laugh is Laugh.
It will mimic art from other TV series, often causing viewers to watch it by mistake, thinking
they’re about to watch something less inherently dangerous.
Laugh is Fun is a hidden camera comedy series, along the lines of Just for Laughs Gags or
Candid Camera.
However, the goofs and gaffes being pulled are often strange, violent, and disturbing.
Some examples of the pranks I’m talking about would be: a husband is skinned alive
and filled with squirrels, or a Margaret Thatcher meat monster attacking a woman in her kitchen.
Individuals subjected to these practical jokes often react with panic or distress, but when
the host appears they immediately become calm.
The host, or SCP-2030-1, appears invariably in a three-piece suit with black and white
wing tipped shoes, and is always shot from the neck down, making identification difficult.
Most participants will express familiarity with the host, often identifying him by his
known name, Laughy McLaugherson.
Laughy will always give an odd speech at the end of each episode, that sums up what we
all saw in a way that seems to be what aliens would write if they wanted to mimic human
entertainment.
Not quite word salad level, but definitely in the uncanny valley of speech, if that’s
a thing.
All participants on the show are real, recognizable humans, and every last one of them has died
of causes unrelated to the show.
There is nothing connecting their deaths to the show, other than the footage of them.
Laugh is Fun! Laugh is Laugh!
Laugh!
NUMBER ONE: SCP-4205 What are your windows made of?
Do you know the particular variety of glass?
Maybe find out, or just stop looking out them.
Why?
Because you might accidentally catch a glimpse of 4205!
This is a visually percieved, cognitohazardous anomaly presenting as two adjacent, amber-hued,
luminous oculiform objects within a transparent medium.
Or, in layman’s terms, amber eyes appearing in glass.
It has been observed in all sorts of glass, the only exception being lead glass.
Any sentient being directly viewing 4205 will undergo immediate and irreversible brain death,
with all measurable neurological activity ceasing withing 500 milliseconds of exposure.
It 100% instantly kills people that look at it.
An outside observer would just see the individual drop dead.
However, for the person dying, the half-second interval it would take to die would seem like
it was taking forever.
This is stretched out in their perception, as the eyes seem to enjoy tormenting people.
Yikes, all you did was look out the window and now you’re experienceing unimaginable
torture and regret.
Bad deal!
Shoulda kept your eyes on the computer screen.
Viewing footage of the eyes is safe, but any digital footage will display some level of
corruption, and the Foundation terminal that had been used during a viewing event was later
found with severe textual and data corruption.
The actual entry for this one is quite the experience, actually mimicing the experience
of using the 90’s era Foundation terminal, so I would highly recommend checking it out
in its entirety.
Poor Wade!
So self-conscious, so self-critical.
It happens to the best of us!
OUTRO Alright!
Another 5 for you to fret over for the next week or so!
What did you think?
Had you heard of any of these before?
Which SCP do you want to see on the next list?
Make sure you let me know down in the comments!
Speaking of comments, let’s peruse some of your more persnickety ones from last time:
Steven Osborne (and a whole lot of other people) said: “The Thing isn’t a remake, it’s
a prequel.”
You guys are really passionate about the 2011 remake/prequel delineation!
It shares the same name and a bunch of plot points, but is also a lead-up to the Carpenter
version, so I would say both classifications apply.
Chamelion boy says “Sad how they pulled a psycho-type reboot again with the lion king
and yet somehow made tons of money.”
Yeah, it’s weird how brand loyalty can make that happen, eh?
Gus van Sant walked so Jon Favreau could run!
SpyBunny says “What’s with the inhaling before every sentence?
So distracting!”
People tend to need to breathe in order to speak, but I’ll work on that for you.
Keep me posted on the oxygen studies.
Max Gonzales says “You mean The Thing from 1982 has Kurt Russell, right?
RIGHT?”
Yes!
I apologize for that typographical error, I wrote 1986 when it was obviously supposed
to be 1982.
Here’s a joke about a typographical error: A man calls out to the waiter and says: Excuse
me sir, there is a needle in my soup!
And the waiter replies: My apologies sir, that was a typographical error.
It was obviously supposed to be a noodle.
Enkidu Gamicrane says “Jacob’s ladder remake was very disappointing”
I’ve heard that, but haven’t got around to seeing it yet!
I’ll add it to my list of stuff to watch when I want to die.
And that’s all the time we have for today!
Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you next time!
