A24 is producing a V/H/S horror anthology film set in the SCP Foundation universe, but the announcement has sparked backlash due to the studio's failure to engage with the SCP community. The SCP Foundation Wiki states it has had no communication with the filmmakers despite attempting contact, raising concerns given A24's previous missteps with Backrooms, when the studio filed copyright claims against other creators. This lack of engagement undermines goodwill and raises questions about the studio's approach to community-driven intellectual property.

The problem is fundamental: the SCP Foundation operates under a Creative Commons CC BY-SA 3.0 ShareAlike licence, which permits anyone to create and distribute works based on SCP material provided adaptations are released under identical licence terms. Legally, A24 can make and release the film theatrically, but it cannot claim exclusive distribution rights or prevent anyone else from creating competing SCP adaptations or redistributing A24's own film. This creates an unusual and potentially impractical business model for a major studio, as legal experts confirm A24 would have no legal recourse against competitors.
