I’d like to show you an abyss.
Locked within its depths are bewildering and uncanny abominations. The keepers of this abyss believe they are in control… They are wrong. This abyss is… the universe of SCP, which began as a seemingly straightforward website where community-members create and classify abominations. Yet from the site, the franchise has grown so vast, influenced so many people, that trying to fathom its totality feels like gazing into an unending expanse.
So, for this entry into the archive, I’ll explore not just the universe itself, but how SCP became one of the most gargantuan and uncontainable forces on the internet.

I just love that my introduction into the SCP fandom, was a let's play on SCP-087 game from Markiplier.
you just killed a lot of people by showing 096's face
Thank you for the cognito hazard.
Reading SCPs before bed was literally giving me anxiety disorder. 12/10 recommended.
Man SCP is so amazing and definitely way better than the cringe Backrooms
I think one of the reasons the SCP Foundation outlived many of it's contemporary creepypasta was the tonal difference, you can have an article about a murder monster, a cosmic God and a list of very gruesome ways to die next to an annoying robot who can't stand up, a blob of jello that causes happiness and the time a researcher met a talking cat from another universe.
It adds to the diversity and makes the world feel more intriguing in some way.
Unfortunately, despite my love of the series, I honestly can't recommend anyone to watch the Confinement series or support its creator, Lord Bung, a few months ago they were involved in the Kwite scandal, accusing them of r*pe and grooming and then doubled down on their claims even after evidence came out which disproved all of their claims. It really sucks because the series is really enjoyable and Lord Bung is talented, but I just can't support someone who acts like that.
at about 18:48 where it talks about the spc wiki having a story about it self is basicaly mentioning one of my fave scp stories…
Rageful? No no no. The 'Remains of a Chair' are not fueled by rage, but fear and trauma. The jumble of remains that used to be a chair has rudimentary sentience, and that proto mind has been traumatized and mangled, and so it lashes out in fear
Reason 1:Markiplier
Reason 2: Markiplier
I don't remember how I got into the SCP Rabbit hole but I absolutely love it, I like the horror/ mind destroying/apocalyptic SCPs the most
I remember when I was introduced 2014 to 2016
Fascinating video!!!!!
Can you do a video on King Kong a natural history of skull island please
And also I really appreciate your work on your channel
The strangled king/hanged king play that causes insanity story is pulled straight from "The Yellow King"!
18:33 did you know that the SCP wiki is listed in the SCP wiki as an SCP in the form of the SCP Foundation's database?
I didn't know it had a whole website!
A tittle late but day 1 of asking of biology of the fungus and the infected of the last of us
Thank you sooo much for doing the SCP foundation! You don’t know how many times I’ve asked for it!
As a Doctor of horrors myself, I can attest that they do get less horrific the longer you look at them.
1762 (Here Be Dragons) and 1281 (Harbinger) are two of my favorite SCP files, two of the sadder ones too😢. Right up there with ROUNDERHOUSE’s 001 (Memento Mori) it’s not all unfathomable horrors and giggles after all.
I discovered SCP through the Control game (after completing it and listening to reviews), however since I grew up on X-Files I guess it has always been with us, even before it officially existed. That's so perfectly SCP of SCP, don't you think?
Isn’t this just the more mature version of Monsters Vs. Aliens?
Hear me out, so in the movie it’s essentially just a mass-scale containment center (creatively named "Area Fifty-something") for terrestrial biological anomalies (AKA, monsters), made for the purpose of defending earth from alien invasion. And the facility hides them in them from the public until needed most. The only difference with the SCP foundation, is that they are uncertain of the possible uses for these creatures, and only harbor them to hide them from the public and to study them. Pretty similar.
Curious archive makes a video on SCP???
niceee
I was SO HAPPY when i found out SCP. It's such an amazing thing! I'am really confused about some stories etc. But i love the concept and the fact it exists is amazing
Edit: i'am going to watch cabin in the woods! I need something weird right now and this seems like it!
I was introduced to the SCP Foundation through “There Is No Antimemetics Division,” and I would highly recommend everyone check it out!
I was waiting for you to namedrop Control. Such an incredible game
Terminally online people do be having weird obsession with underground hipster-esque horror phenomenones. Slander dude, SCP, Lobotomy Corp, Creapy Pasta, Cry of Fear and countless other mind numbing basic horror stuff.
Would hollow knight be suitable for a video?
the SCP's rabbit hole is basically the same with Hololive's rabbit hole..
sure at first your not interested, but "it always starts with one" then you get ever so curious you watch more and more to the point that you realize you are now a SIMP to the contents
I play scp sl
Also there are many scp channels
SCP is the most creative and entertaining universe to come from the minds of man in the last 10 years!
Wow, didn't know about the Cabin in the woods, gotta check it out
What about an SCP that's a dinner table that's always covered with delicious and fresh food, and once you eat something you can't stop eating until you die. Then the table consumes you😂
Make another serina a natural history in the world of birds video please
I’ll never forget SCP-2718 “what comes after”. Never have I had a piece of media rock me to my core so completely in my life. I dont want to spoil it, but the concept it presents makes death monumentally more horrifying. Knowing what comes after is not very comforting.
What about the people who made the SCP monsters ridiculous and added them?
Curios Archive could honestly get me into any fandom just by talking about it.
I'm pretty sure 3008 is what inspired the Backrooms alongside liminal spaces in general.
8:13 We need to clarify that the Foundation didn't put this chair in the wood chipper. The Global Occult Coalition did. The GOC is basically a similar group working to destroy all anomalies instead of contain them which, as we can see with 1609, leads to them no longer being thaumiel (read: helpful and friendly) and instead being euclid (read: hostile but containable).
Ngl the oldest house sounds like the room of requirement.
1:38 SCP 628
Give this guy an oscar. you should checkout the backrooms something simulare but originiol😀
Curious could you do the biologie of roblox creatures of sonaria
Seriously? When you show at least ONE image that has been fully debunked as a Rotten corpse of a marine animal that that site claims to be something else? Talk about stupidity at it's finest. Most of the rest, if not ALL the rest were clearly works of art by people. I'm fine with that so long as you keep it REAL and not 'science fiction' bullshit. Decent video though. Thank you for sharing – and for once, it's not glitching by the 2 minute mark.
Two speculative ecosystems that would be great for this channel: Skull Island from Peter Jackson’s King Kong & Pandora from James Cameron’s Avatar.
