A24 Boards V/H/S: SCP for 2027 Theatrical Release

The announcement raises legal and distribution questions because the source material is released under a Creative Commons ShareAlike license that limits exclusivity and DRM.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported Friday that A24 has taken worldwide rights to a V/H/S extension titled V/H/S: SCP and is targeting a 2027 theatrical release.
  • Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Studios are co-producing the anthology film with producers who worked on prior V/H/S entries and several named executive producers.
  • The SCP Foundation’s Wiki Licensing Team says it was not contacted about the project and disputes any claim of exclusive rights to SCP material.
  • The Wiki points to the CC BY‑SA license that covers SCP content, which allows commercial use but requires derivatives to carry the same license and forbids DRM or exclusive distribution.
  • The situation is unresolved and could affect how the film is released; the Foundation has offered to meet with filmmakers and observers say the outcome will shape how online, community‑created worlds move to cinemas.
