This is just an SCP!
Movies and shows that make you say "Wait, this is just an SCP!"
Sometimes it works better if you squint and tilt your head to the side.
Guidelines:
Sometimes it works better if you squint and tilt your head to the side.
Guidelines:
- No standard cryptid monster films, must be unique (See: The Killing Tree)
- No standard super hero movies (Chronicle counts but Landis is an SCP pariah so no thanks)
- Advanced technology ok if no one knows where it came from or how it works OR if it reveals something no one understands
- Time travel ok if no one knows why it's happening and it's not the above
- Aliens aren't cryptids. Cosmic horror is, however
- Something might be an SCP without meaning to be one, the only necessity is that the movie contains anomalous/aberrant phenomena of some sort
- Confusing meta bullshit is acceptable
