The Internet has taken the scary stories that children once told around a campfire to a new level. "Coffin on wheels" or "dark-dark city" are already in the past. Now the interns create new monsters - and create them together, ingeniously, in the Wikipedia format. Here are five popular horror movies.
Internet users invented many horror stories on forums and chats. Some of them were passed off as real events, some became “urban legends”. In the SCPFoundation project, writing "horror films" is organized almost like "Wikipedia": anyone can add their own story. But it must comply with certain canons.
In the universe of SCP stories, there is a lot of paranormal that we mere mortals do not know about. The SCP Foundation studies, monitors and maintains anomalies, divided into three classes: harmless, Euclid (dangerous but controlled) and Keter (absolutely dangerous - not destroyed just because they cannot be destroyed). Hundreds of Foundation employees often work as "living meat", sacrificing their lives to save the universe or out of stupidity and carelessness.
The interns have invented thousands of paranormal objects and translated the stories, "reports" and "notes" of the experimenters into a dozen languages. Based on the stories, amateurs have created several dozen computer games. All the "horror films" of the project can be read in English here, and in Russian here. The only drawback is widespread censorship. Even the "higher ranks" of the SCP do not know all the details of the secret objects.
Sculpture
SCP-173 is a sculpture of concrete and reinforcement that does not move while at least one person is looking at it. But the sculpture is alive and extremely hostile. A reddish-brown substance of blood and feces is constantly forming under the sculpture.

There is a screeching sound from the container where it is contained. If researchers enter the container with it, they must warn each other that they close their eyes even for a moment. If no one from those present sees the sculpture, it attacks the person, breaks his neck or strangles him. Even if you blink, the sculpture will have time to get closer.
Stairs
SCP-087 is located on campus behind thick steel doors disguised as a closet door. A crash was heard from behind the doors until the researchers provided soundproofing. The object is a staircase that leads down - presumably to infinity.
It's dark on the stairs, you can't see more than a meter and a half. Researchers hear somewhere lower on the flights, children's crying and groans, but they cannot get close to the voice. Anyone who walked far enough faced in the dark with a face without a mouth, nostrils or pupils. Those who met him faced uncontrollable fear and paranoia.
Internet friend
You will not know what SCP-1715 is writing to you until you die. The abnormal phenomenon adapts to Internet communities, chats and forums and writes under different names (often using the image above as an avatar), usually introducing himself to Americans 15-30 years old.
The phenomenon comes into contact with the public and after an average of eight weeks, those who shared personal information with SCP-1715 are killed in accidents. Deaths are not anomalous; suicides are also encountered. But even after death, the one who came into contact with the phenomenon continues to write and remembers his life. And sometimes he jokes about the circumstances of his death.
Teddy bear builder
Small teddy bear SCP-1048 was initially considered harmless. He could walk on his own and express emotions with movements, but he could not speak. The bear showed sympathy for the people around him, hugged him sweetly by the legs, danced. Seven months after the Foundation took over the anomaly, SCP-1048 began producing copies of itself.
The first replica of the construction bear was made from severed human ears - SCP-1048 cut them off from employees to whom it "got into confidence", and those who tried to stop it became overgrown with what looked like ears all over their bodies, even in the throat.
The second copy was outwardly identical to Mishka, but a baby's hand protruded from one of its seams - while one of the employees was sleeping, she had an abortion, and the 8-month-old fetus was never found. The third copy was made from scrap metal. The object with copies escaped and has not yet been captured by the foundation.
Thin man
Oddly enough, the most famous Internet horror movie was not invented by SCP "employees". The creature known as Slenderman was invented in 2009 on the Something Awful forum.
After the first participant of the forum briefly described the Thin Man and gave several "photos", the story was finalized by other interns, creating a detailed legend.
A thin man can be seen in the photo and video - a thin figure in a business suit is hiding in the dark behind the backs of people. The creature steals people, including children, can endlessly pursue the victim, change the length of the limbs. On YouTube there is a video blog of "hunters for the Thin Man", and one of the games is available not only for computers and consoles, but also for the OculusRift virtual reality helmet.
