I love how some of the SCP foundations containment procedures basically just boil down to “we know where it is and its pretty chill, but if it suddenly decides not to be we cant help you sorry”
It's kind of the whole keter shtick. I mean, they are often actively dangerous and have an unknown location, but they are literally kind of "there's nothing we can do, sorry"
If you throw it in a box and it does nothing: it's Safe. If you throw it in a box but you have to keep fiddling with the box so it does nothing: it's Euclic. If you throw it in a box and you have no idea if it's going to do something: it's also Euclid (i have a hard time understanding Euclid tbh) If you throw it in a box and it eats the box even if you fiddle with the box: it's Keter. (have replacement-boxes ready) far as i can discern this exact sentiment is behind the class-designations, which is probably why they revamped the entire thing to a whole-new system nobody on TH-cam uses because it's daftly overcomplicated.
You got Safe exactly right. A little bit of fiddling with the box is necessary to know what is really needed to contain something, so Euclid is basically the default designation since it’s what most irl people and animals are. Keter doesn’t necessarily eat the box, but A LOT of fiddling is required to keep it in the box. And the new designations aren’t overly complicated, they just don’t fit into a typical TH-cam reading well.
You know, at first, I was scared that something bad was going to happen to 2006. Instead, he just finally became really good at scaring people. Good for you, bestie.
bro has been working on himself for a few years and is finally ready to prove himself in this post-capitalist society... mad respects to him for not giving up and becoming a fearcel like the other dweeb SCPs.
Weird theory: Every person in the article is named after a famous actor/director in classic horror movies, which fits 2006's fixation with it. My theory is that none of this actually happens and 2006 transcended the narrative reality of The SCP Foundation by shapeshifting into this article to scare us.
Sure, yeah, one less cell. If 2006 want to transcend into a written-narrative, then it can die in obscurity like the Screamers. Updated containment procedures: Skim 2006's narrations for material to publish horror novels in order to continue funding. Reclassification to 'Thaumiel'.
The scariest part to me was the last few sentences which really wrapped all the themes from this and the main 2006 articles together I felt. Just the fact that everyone reading this knows that by screaming they are giving 2006 exactly what it wants and is reinforcing in his head that this is how to truly scare people is just chilling to me. Also I was wondering how 2006 would figure out Randal’s full name but then I remembered something that made everything else make sense. Randal leaves his full name at the end of the 2006 article.
The plot-twist is that it all exists within text. All 2006 did was transcend mediums from visual to text. Certainly more wiggle-room, but ultimately ineffectual. Reclassify it to 'thaumiel' and skim its writings for publication into horror-novels to supplement funding. The End.
I absolutely loved the bit of the old man being forced to obey, and forced to be clean. It really feels like an almost comic relief from the rest of this fucked up onni-horror
I feel like whoever wrote this has opinions about PhDs who insist on being addressed as "Doctor [lastname]" by everyone and not just in formal settings such as seminars or by undergrad students in class. And I mean the kinds of strong opinions you only develop in grad school and beyond, where any faculty who hasn't vanished completely up their own asses tells you to call them by their first name.

theres a collection of stories about people experiencing their own personal hell through 8066 on the website, and one of the people is actually FDR. his story just reads "i don't get what the fuss is about"
Reminds me of the mandella catalogue. Where one video tells you to close your eyes and think of an imaginary friend. To think of them real hard. Then it says. "Nice work. Your new friend is in your house with you"
I can't imagine what would be the nightmare for the hard to kill lizard, and if It will be able to adapt to that and somehow fight off the fear itself and involuntarily free all of the people of that reality
682 has "Superman syndrome" where he's canonically as powerful as the narrative wants him to be. it can adapt to and overcome even "narrativistic" threats, which are hard to even understand.
There are also supplement logs that go over over people’s experience in this new reality (and one meme entry). And then there’s the victim of 8980, where her new reality is the hell she is already experiencing

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I shall remain.
I feel like modern SCP is what you get when you have a constrained writing format where you have to describe things at a specific moment in time, and the horror is supposed to come from "this is a thing that exists", and then you give it to writers who only know how to tell stories, so they add addendums and exploration logs so they can tell a normal linear story about the object with a beginning middle and end.
Honest to god, that has always been the case. Some of the best articles from older series were ones that did basically the same thing. 093, 1730, 2998, 2316, 3000 to name a few examples.
i would argue that alot of "monster" stories function similarly to SCP articles, but are told in a different style. in many classic monster movies, the effects of the monster are described first before the monster is finally revealed, and then the shenanigans between the main characters and the monster take place after that. this follows the containment procedures (effects)>description (reveal)>addendums/exploration logs (shenanigans) format. the main difference with SCP articles s that they are in the form of descriptive articles instead of an "adventure" like more typical stories.

I just realized that the daredevils courage is the same as in Hitchickers guides 'don't panic'- glasses that turn totally dark in presence of any danger.
But does it retain his habit of acting friendly afterwards? Imagine how much worse it would be if the torture was intermittent, with scp 2006 acting friendly in between each box
29:05 I gotta wonder is this actually the researcher or simply the Rabbit that stole his name. It’s greatest fear that he’s come back not only to take his name back but every ounce of flesh that was stolen from him
Listen to this at work yesterday, and I ended up imagining a possible tale for this one. Basically, there's a man who's anomalous ability is that he can't die, and because he lived for so long. (And tried to end it all multiple times). He essentially lost the ability to feel fear. So he finds himself in 8066. While everyone else screams in terror. The man laughs. (Uncontrollably at that) This catch's 2006 (8066 at this point) attention. So 2006 tries everything under the sun to scare the immortal man, but nothing is working. Somehow, the immortal man manages to instill fear into 2006, which starts to undo scp 8066. Towards the end of the tale. The two talk, and 2006 decides to help the man find a way to die. Things go back to normal, and 2006 starts scaring people like it used to before 8066. Only this time. It has all the memories of the previous events, and hopes to one day. Find a way to scare the immortal man, should they ever cross paths again.
While I can imagine the concept becoming played out in the future, I'm really enjoying this "Apotheosis of SCP-####" style of article we've been getting lately.
The plot-twist is that it all exists within text. All 2006 did was transcend mediums from visual to text. Certainly more wiggle-room, but ultimately ineffectual. Reclassify it to 'thaumiel' and skim its writings for publication into horror-novels to supplement funding. The End.
i love the ideas of some of the more modern SCPs, but by god does it grind my gears that the authors just invent whatever classification terms they want, most of them making very little sense. i know its incredibly minor and nitpicky, but there used to be a unifying system when the community was much smaller. Everyone agreed on their uses, and everyone abided by the system, much like you'd see in an actual classification system. The meaning has changed too, where it used to be how difficult the SCP was to contain, but now is used for half a hundred different reasons.
I share your pet peeve and add another one: that so many new SCPs are just new takes on old SCPs, and thus instead of having their own separate numbers and wasting the space in the ever-expanding archive, they should be added as Version 2 or 5 or 37 of whatever the original article was. Thus 6820 should have just been 682, this one should have been 2006, etc. Some cases aren't clear-cut enough for this to work, but in a lot of cases it would, and thus numbers in the 8000s would be reserved for actually NEW SCP concepts, rather than iterations on the classics.
@@quicksilvertongue3248 i think its because of the shift in perspective of the authors tbh. It used to be "write a cool little horror guy", now writers use it as an excuse to practice their writing skills, insert their OC's, and create their own storylines. Its much more about "the story" now than it is about the SCP and the article dedicated to it.
@@declancampbell1277 I agree with all of this except one point: writers do NOT use it as an excuse to "practice their writing skills", because the moderators of the current community scathingly destroy any writing which they deem is not up to their current publication standards. You can't practice if you're not allowed to put out a first draft.
@@quicksilvertongue3248 i meant in the sense of professional published works. You see it with fanfic authors a lot too, they write their fanfics but have an actual novel they're trying to get published too. i didnt mean it in a "they arent very skilled so use SCPs to improve" sort of way.
Ive been a long time fan But this video is absolutely amazing The article itself is one of few i find legit scary and not interesting The reading is perfectly on point Even the picture selection creates a great ambience Just a very great video allround I know youre moving away from scp so im thankful for every scp video i get
Such a good article and such a good reading of it. 2006 has always been such a favorite of mine, and to see it become the fear bringer it always wanted to be is satisfying and horrifying
The plot-twist is that it all exists within text. All 2006 did was transcend mediums from visual to text. Certainly more wiggle-room, but ultimately ineffectual. Reclassify it to 'thaumiel' and skim its writings for publication into horror-novels to supplement funding. The End.
First time I read an article before TES made a video about it. Imma use this as an example to re-experience this piece and maybe make more sense of it since I was a little confused after the read and had to go for the discussions.
This whole video left me more confused than anything, even while understanding the “twist” from the beginning. So, I guess 2006 was just gaslighting Dr Owings, as that kind of psychological unsettlement is a fear in its own right? And then in the end, everyone just got trapped into their own personal fear-hells?
Nah, 2006 wasn't gaslighting anyone. At first it didn't really know how to scare people. Then, power outage happened and it thought it was trapped as a woman... but in reality it had just transcended physical form and the thing in the shape of a woman was literally the husk that remained. The stuff with the doctor leading up to the end was 2006 testing its limits, figuring out what it can do and what really scares people. It wasn't just Dr Owings that it was messing with, it was everyone at the site. We read the story from Owings perspective so the only glimpses we get of this are how people react when Owings brings up the problems. Then in the end, 2006 finally figures out what it is capable of, it could originally shape shift (which seemingly ignored conservation of mass) and now it has control over reality itself. And yes, now in the end everyone is now trapped in their own personal hell. They are exposed to the things that terrify them most.
I read somewhere that when 2006 evolved past needing a body, its shell was left with its memories (This being the one interviewed by Dr. Owings). In a way 2006 is scaring even itself seeing how its shell is afraid that “something” is keeping it from changing its shape which I’d imagine is the scariest scenario for it
I'm super excited for this series. The 2024 anthology was incredible. SCP 8980 was the absolute show stealer because of its exquisite vile and suberb writing. I felt physically sick reading it.
@julianstone1192 I did not find it erotic in any way. Like, I get the whole sub / dom kink for you since that gets your rocks off, but this piece really did not feel erotic to me. Dr. Bryne is a petty sociopath who deserves to burn. I shouldn't kink shame, but I make an exception for this. It's just gross. More gross than usual. I do not feel comfortable seeing 8980 being made into something horny. (You know the rules, and so do I.)
8980 being Ergophobia? I just read it based on your recommendation and was bored out of my skull. So incredibly mundane and histrionic, nothing about it was even remotely compelling to me.
@quicksilvertongue3248 I can see where you're coming from. It goes really hard into the cold clinical documentation. I wouldn't call it mundane, but it is very theatrical, and that can be grating. ( I love that word you used, though; histrionic. Really apt!)
@@patchpatch4008 Yeah, the girl just suddenly out of nowhere calls the guy a misogynist for no reason, that was basically the moment I stopped giving a shit about her as a sympathetic victim. She had been an ordinary person, then she was an ordinary anomaly for a while, and at that moment she became a candidate for D-Class status IMO. At no point prior to the ending is there ever any evidence that any sentient being other than herself has any influence upon her; she has a random malfunction and she convinces herself that someone's doing it to her on purpose, then constantly self-sabotages to get back at this imaginary tormentor. Only after her final breakdown does he do anything to indicate that she's right, and frankly I can believe she's a reality bender externalizing a hallucination in that moment, to put "proof" of her persecution complex on the video footage, more easily than I can believe that her boss was always secretly torturing her for no other reason than because he can.
I know it already is, but I don't feel like it counts to give an existing SCP a new SCP number. Sure it might have an entirely differently form and function but wouldn't that just be part of the original SCP? There are a few SCPs like this but never got a new number
I know it's been a while since you've done a video on the Lovecraft Mythos, but it would be great if you made a video on some of the different forms of Nyarlathotep.
Harry potter dementors: shadowy figures, emanate fear and cold "I didn't think of Voldemort," said Harry honestly. "I - I remembered those dementors." "I see," said Lupin thoughtfully. "Well, well... I'm impressed." He smiled slightly at the look of surprise on Harry's face. "That suggests that what you fear most of all is -- fear. Very wise, Harry."
Huh, so each time something got strangely changed/depowered in the complex (106 suddenly cowering in his open room), that was the SCP removing the target from reality to its box?
My head cannon is Zach from OneyPlays perpetually tormenting Tomar with his unhinge hypotheticals went global... "Tomar what would you do if your boss called you to his office and his mouth was twice as big and that was the only difference... Then he takes an apple eats it in one bite taking out the stem and then asks "Tomar are you afraid? Is there fear in yout life tomar?" Tomar: a lottle yeah Zack: ok that'll be all
oh awesome are we getting the 2024 anthology videos? I have a couple articles I really want to show my friends but it’s a bit difficult to get them to read a whole article on their own. It’s usually a better experience to get together and watch your videos on them, more fun too. Hope we get the rest of the entries in whatever timeframe you’re comfortable with
My theory is that the anomalous event which triggered 2006’s ascension was SCP-106 breaching containment and attempting to attack it. Perhaps this scared the shit out of it and it suddenly realized the nature of true fear, and then shed its skin, so to speak. This would also explain why it goes after 106 specifically before really doing anything else, as described when Owings sees 106 in its now pure white containment chamber.
I'm currently 6:40 in and if there isn't an image or reference to the clown from Star Trek Voyager's The Thaw, i will be very disappointed (but still have thoroughly enjoyed the content, I'm sure)

Hey. For the next movie summary. Watch the new movie, it just came out this year. Missing Couple (2024) A plot revolves around a missing VanLife influencers who decided to buy cabin in a isolated area, they disappeared afterwards, while another PI influencer decides to investigate their disappearance. It’s a good movie, not great but fun and intriguing. It’s a found footage movie.
Wonder if you'll cover SCP-8980. I read a summary of it on TVTropes and it is probably the most messed up SCP ever created. I'm scared to read the actual article to see what happened to that poor person.

The oldest and greatest emotion of man is fear itself. And the oldest and greatest form of fear itself is fear of the unknown itself.
"Like guests at a fantastic feast"...or perhaps a Tea Party, Alice?
I just realized that the daredevils courage is the same as in Hitchickers guides 'don't panic'- glasses that turn totally dark in presence of any danger.

But does it retain his habit of acting friendly afterwards? Imagine how much worse it would be if the torture was intermittent, with scp 2006 acting friendly in between each box
Exploring series you make hands down the best SCP Videos on youtube.
A great week to all my fellow Explorers.
I'm thankful that you continue to make these. I've been watching them for years at this point while doing homework. I really appreciate the dedication
love your videos watched almost every single one for years. Thanks
29:05 I gotta wonder is this actually the researcher or simply the Rabbit that stole his name. It’s greatest fear that he’s come back not only to take his name back but every ounce of flesh that was stolen from him
Always a great night when TES updates! Keep up the great work, mate❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
My dyslexic foreign brain read Photophobia at first and thought fear of light is truly terrifying 😅
Phobophotophobia: The fear of the light shed by fear itself.
Ohhhhhh yes perfect timing on this upload, thanks brother 💪🤠🍻
I totally support your "exploring" other topics you enjoy, but I LOVE your freakin SCP content
Staffing your facility researching fear with people named Price and Legosi is just asking for problems.
Listen to this at work yesterday, and I ended up imagining a possible tale for this one.
Basically, there's a man who's anomalous ability is that he can't die, and because he lived for so long. (And tried to end it all multiple times). He essentially lost the ability to feel fear.
So he finds himself in 8066. While everyone else screams in terror. The man laughs. (Uncontrollably at that) This catch's 2006 (8066 at this point) attention.
So 2006 tries everything under the sun to scare the immortal man, but nothing is working. Somehow, the immortal man manages to instill fear into 2006, which starts to undo scp 8066. Towards the end of the tale. The two talk, and 2006 decides to help the man find a way to die.
Things go back to normal, and 2006 starts scaring people like it used to before 8066. Only this time. It has all the memories of the previous events, and hopes to one day. Find a way to scare the immortal man, should they ever cross paths again.

I forget the SCP number, but perhaps you could use the old man who won a card game against death for that role
@@julianstone1192This is SCP-1440 btw.
im going to explore this video so hard
OwO
While I can imagine the concept becoming played out in the future, I'm really enjoying this "Apotheosis of SCP-####" style of article we've been getting lately.
The plot-twist is that it all exists within text. All 2006 did was transcend mediums from visual to text.
Certainly more wiggle-room, but ultimately ineffectual.
Reclassify it to 'thaumiel' and skim its writings for publication into horror-novels to supplement funding.
The End.
Think this phobia series could be pretty cool
i love the ideas of some of the more modern SCPs, but by god does it grind my gears that the authors just invent whatever classification terms they want, most of them making very little sense.
i know its incredibly minor and nitpicky, but there used to be a unifying system when the community was much smaller. Everyone agreed on their uses, and everyone abided by the system, much like you'd see in an actual classification system. The meaning has changed too, where it used to be how difficult the SCP was to contain, but now is used for half a hundred different reasons.
I share your pet peeve and add another one: that so many new SCPs are just new takes on old SCPs, and thus instead of having their own separate numbers and wasting the space in the ever-expanding archive, they should be added as Version 2 or 5 or 37 of whatever the original article was. Thus 6820 should have just been 682, this one should have been 2006, etc. Some cases aren't clear-cut enough for this to work, but in a lot of cases it would, and thus numbers in the 8000s would be reserved for actually NEW SCP concepts, rather than iterations on the classics.
@@quicksilvertongue3248 i think its because of the shift in perspective of the authors tbh. It used to be "write a cool little horror guy", now writers use it as an excuse to practice their writing skills, insert their OC's, and create their own storylines.
Its much more about "the story" now than it is about the SCP and the article dedicated to it.
@@declancampbell1277 I agree with all of this except one point: writers do NOT use it as an excuse to "practice their writing skills", because the moderators of the current community scathingly destroy any writing which they deem is not up to their current publication standards. You can't practice if you're not allowed to put out a first draft.
@@quicksilvertongue3248 i meant in the sense of professional published works. You see it with fanfic authors a lot too, they write their fanfics but have an actual novel they're trying to get published too.
i didnt mean it in a "they arent very skilled so use SCPs to improve" sort of way.
If you're referring to the Meggido classification, it's been around since at least "L is for Lamentations."
Ive been a long time fan
But this video is absolutely amazing
The article itself is one of few i find legit scary and not interesting
The reading is perfectly on point
Even the picture selection creates a great ambience
Just a very great video allround
I know youre moving away from scp so im thankful for every scp video i get
So cool to see you back at it again!
Such a good article and such a good reading of it. 2006 has always been such a favorite of mine, and to see it become the fear bringer it always wanted to be is satisfying and horrifying
We're already at 8000? Man i still remember when 3000 was a big deal
Man, congrats to the writer.. This shit is so fcking good. The imagery, the gore, the tranquil ferocity, the strange calm. Man, i fcking love this one

Well gosh dang it you've made me feel sad for 106. That's a new one. Come to think of it, fear is closely allied with sadness, isn't it?
First time I read an article before TES made a video about it. Imma use this as an example to re-experience this piece and maybe make more sense of it since I was a little confused after the read and had to go for the discussions.
This whole video left me more confused than anything, even while understanding the “twist” from the beginning. So, I guess 2006 was just gaslighting Dr Owings, as that kind of psychological unsettlement is a fear in its own right? And then in the end, everyone just got trapped into their own personal fear-hells?
Nah, 2006 wasn't gaslighting anyone. At first it didn't really know how to scare people. Then, power outage happened and it thought it was trapped as a woman... but in reality it had just transcended physical form and the thing in the shape of a woman was literally the husk that remained. The stuff with the doctor leading up to the end was 2006 testing its limits, figuring out what it can do and what really scares people. It wasn't just Dr Owings that it was messing with, it was everyone at the site. We read the story from Owings perspective so the only glimpses we get of this are how people react when Owings brings up the problems. Then in the end, 2006 finally figures out what it is capable of, it could originally shape shift (which seemingly ignored conservation of mass) and now it has control over reality itself. And yes, now in the end everyone is now trapped in their own personal hell. They are exposed to the things that terrify them most.
I read somewhere that when 2006 evolved past needing a body, its shell was left with its memories (This being the one interviewed by Dr. Owings). In a way 2006 is scaring even itself seeing how its shell is afraid that “something” is keeping it from changing its shape which I’d imagine is the scariest scenario for it
When you see the word Fear of Fear, im like the hell did the foundation find this time
ooooo that was awesome adding the movie The Tingler to this scp.. amazing old horror creature feature movie classic
He's back, baby!
An SCP that can make the Old Man(106) its bitch like this goes unbelievably hard, and also, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I fear only one thing, Elmo. nothing else just Elmo.
I'm super excited for this series. The 2024 anthology was incredible. SCP 8980 was the absolute show stealer because of its exquisite vile and suberb writing. I felt physically sick reading it.
Just checked that one out, was actually kind of hot, yeah I’m a bit messed up
@julianstone1192 I did not find it erotic in any way.
Like, I get the whole sub / dom kink for you since that gets your rocks off, but this piece really did not feel erotic to me. Dr. Bryne is a petty sociopath who deserves to burn.
I shouldn't kink shame, but I make an exception for this. It's just gross. More gross than usual. I do not feel comfortable seeing 8980 being made into something horny. (You know the rules, and so do I.)
8980 being Ergophobia? I just read it based on your recommendation and was bored out of my skull. So incredibly mundane and histrionic, nothing about it was even remotely compelling to me.
@quicksilvertongue3248 I can see where you're coming from. It goes really hard into the cold clinical documentation. I wouldn't call it mundane, but it is very theatrical, and that can be grating. ( I love that word you used, though; histrionic. Really apt!)
@@patchpatch4008 Yeah, the girl just suddenly out of nowhere calls the guy a misogynist for no reason, that was basically the moment I stopped giving a shit about her as a sympathetic victim. She had been an ordinary person, then she was an ordinary anomaly for a while, and at that moment she became a candidate for D-Class status IMO. At no point prior to the ending is there ever any evidence that any sentient being other than herself has any influence upon her; she has a random malfunction and she convinces herself that someone's doing it to her on purpose, then constantly self-sabotages to get back at this imaginary tormentor. Only after her final breakdown does he do anything to indicate that she's right, and frankly I can believe she's a reality bender externalizing a hallucination in that moment, to put "proof" of her persecution complex on the video footage, more easily than I can believe that her boss was always secretly torturing her for no other reason than because he can.
I know it already is, but I don't feel like it counts to give an existing SCP a new SCP number. Sure it might have an entirely differently form and function but wouldn't that just be part of the original SCP? There are a few SCPs like this but never got a new number
Perfect timing! A long video for bed time. Thank you! ❤
Price, Lugosi. I'm seeing a pattern here. Who next? Cheney? Karloff? Lee? Cushing?

I know it's been a while since you've done a video on the Lovecraft Mythos, but it would be great if you made a video on some of the different forms of Nyarlathotep.

dementors: shadowy figures, emanate fear and cold
"I didn't think of Voldemort," said Harry honestly. "I - I remembered those dementors."
"I see," said Lupin thoughtfully. "Well, well... I'm impressed." He smiled slightly at the look of surprise on Harry's face. "That suggests that what you fear most of all is -- fear. Very wise, Harry."
Incredible The Magnus Archives fanfic lul
Huh, so each time something got strangely changed/depowered in the complex (106 suddenly cowering in his open room), that was the SCP removing the target from reality to its box?
My head cannon is Zach from OneyPlays perpetually tormenting Tomar with his unhinge hypotheticals went global...
"Tomar what would you do if your boss called you to his office and his mouth was twice as big and that was the only difference...
Then he takes an apple eats it in one bite taking out the stem and then asks "Tomar are you afraid? Is there fear in yout life tomar?"
Tomar: a lottle yeah
Zack: ok that'll be all
That is.. terrifying. 0_0
its been a year since i watched any of your content, good to hear that voice again,
oh awesome are we getting the 2024 anthology videos? I have a couple articles I really want to show my friends but it’s a bit difficult to get them to read a whole article on their own. It’s usually a better experience to get together and watch your videos on them, more fun too. Hope we get the rest of the entries in whatever timeframe you’re comfortable with
that title is really funny, referring to the "the only thing to fear is fear itself" line using
phobophobia
I fear nothing but fear
I fear everything but fear
I'm picturing an variant of this SCP where 2006 goes to the White House and frightens FDR to death
My theory is that the anomalous event which triggered 2006’s ascension was SCP-106 breaching containment and attempting to attack it. Perhaps this scared the shit out of it and it suddenly realized the nature of true fear, and then shed its skin, so to speak. This would also explain why it goes after 106 specifically before really doing anything else, as described when Owings sees 106 in its now pure white containment chamber.
Scarecrow is gooning rn
WOW… this is a good one…
Old school scp vibes
this scp is scary for real. it's been long time since a scp creep me out!
Good one Mangg!

This was indeed good.
Hey. For the next movie summary.
Watch the new movie, it just came out this year.
Missing Couple (2024)
A plot revolves around a missing VanLife influencers who decided to buy cabin in a isolated area, they disappeared afterwards, while another PI influencer decides to investigate their disappearance.
It’s a good movie, not great but fun and intriguing. It’s a found footage movie.
2006 is just chill like that
Wonder if you'll cover SCP-8980. I read a summary of it on TVTropes and it is probably the most messed up SCP ever created. I'm scared to read the actual article to see what happened to that poor person.
