 Ahoy-hoy! Today we're going to do another reaction video to an infographic show video called This Is the Most Scary SCP. Of course that's a subjective term, whatever most scary means to you might mean something else completely different to someone else. But the video I'm reacting to is not unprompted this time around. The first time I did a reaction to infographics it was because the people in general were asking me to do so. This time around I've actually been in contact with the infographic show and they have actually sent me this video as a, what's the word I'm looking for here, an example of how they believe they've done it right and how they believe that they have fact-checked this to death and that there should be no mistakes in it. I doubt that's true just because it's never possible to create something perfect, even I make mistakes all the time, like I'm somehow, I say that somehow I'm incapable or even well known for not making mistakes, but I'm sure I'm wrong about stuff too sometimes. Regardless I'm going to go through this, anything that I can spot that's off I'll try to point out. It's a 13 minute and 40 second video so if it is as correct as they say there may be a bit of jumping around because otherwise I'll just be sitting there for 5, 10 minutes not saying anything, we'll give it a try and see though, so let's get started. The SCP Foundation is an organization dedicated to protecting humanity from the supernatural whether it's dark gods, cursed objects or killer creatures, but today there's been a containment breach and the fate of the entire world is at stake. To ensure you'll survive you'll have to arm yourselves with knowledge, thankfully we've got you covered with the lowdown on 10 of the scariest monsters that the Foundation has to offer. We'll start on what you might call the mild end of the spectrum. We'll say using the phrase 10 of the scariest monsters rather the title says this is the most scary SCP, but obviously that's subjective saying 10 of the most scary creatures that you can find or in the SCP Foundation indicates that of course it's a subjective list or that at the very least there could be 10 more, it's not really a top 10 so much as a listing of 10 scary SCPs which is fine. And end with pure unfiltered nightmare fuel, beware and be ready, it's time to face your darkness. But this is supposed to progress. Number 10 SCP-169, the Leviathan, the Lossophobia or fear of deep water is one of the most common fears out there, which is why we're starting our countdown with SCP-169. SCP-169 is described as a massive marine arthropod. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, already, I'm sorry, hold on, that's an arthropod that is a reptile, looks like, from the head anyway, with 10 limbs, I mean this may be blamed on fan art more than anything else, and it's not that huge a mistake, like this is just, anyway, that's not an arthropod, that's a reptile. They show a picture of a, they're showing a picture of a reptile and saying that it's described as an arthropod, so that's a thing, okay, well we're 45, that's not a great sign, 45 seconds in, I hope I'm wrong, maybe this is, maybe it won't be as. SCP-169 is described as number nine, SCP-3663, the adventure of a cardboard box. SCP-3663 was once a boy between the ages of eight and twelve, who while playing in some disuse. This is not one I'm familiar with, I actually thought, when I saw a cardboard box that this was, maybe I had forgotten the number to one of my own SCPs, which is about a child in a cardboard box, but no, this is a completely different child in a cardboard box, so that's a thing. The real horror comes from the fact that the SCP foundation has yet to discover what caused the boy to become fused to his homemade costume, or what led to his mental degradation, meaning that this horrible fate could potentially happen again to any unsuspecting child. Again, I'm not familiar with the article, it says the SCP foundation can't find out what caused his mental degradation, but nothing that they just described includes mental degradation, it sounds like he's just still a child. If that isn't existentially terrifying enough for you, just wait, because the worst is yet to come. The next SCP causes changes that are even deadlier and more unbelievable, and it might be in your house right now. Number 8. I am SCP-426, and I am an ordinary toaster. Confused about why I'm talking about this SCP in- Right there. This SCP. Okay. If you're gonna steer into the conceit that I am a toaster, then you have to continue- I'm not doing it right now by the way, I'm just talking about it in the abstract. You can't say stuff like this SCP because this SCP is a toaster, therefore it is you. It would make it very difficult to talk about, which is why- what would that sentence be? In that sense, in that- I am a toaster, I am an ordinary toaster. Confused why I'm talking about myself in this manner would be the- yeah. Well, any humans attempting to describe this anomaly are unconsciously compelled to only refer to me in the first person. There seems to be no way to avoid doing this, and the more time humans spend around me, the compulsion to refer to me in the first person evolves into a genuine belief that they themselves are also toasters. Though this might sound ridiculous at first, the effect quickly takes a turn for the deadly. I was originally discovered by the Foundation when members of the family who first owned me were found dead in their home. Man, that's the only use of that word. Oh, the only mistake. God, he looks so happy. Past instances have included a giant bat, a bear-sized animal with spines, like an echidna, and a humanoid reptilian creature. And if that isn't bad enough, many people at the research site built can- I mean, it's hard for me to remember exactly what shows up in the article itself, but those are the three least-threatening things I can imagine coming in. A bear, a giant bat, a reptile creature. Ugh. I'm not the wrong with that. I'm just saying, like, those are the least scary things I can imagine coming out of there. Have you ever found yourself on the wrong bus? So the living bus is another one I'm not familiar with. But imagine if the bus are indistinguishable from an ordinary city bus. SCP-2086 nests in junkyards. Building nests from old scrap metal for their children who are much smaller- Wait, city bus? Because they're showing a school bus. I feel like maybe I have- this vaguely feels familiar. He's so happy! I never really thought of this as particularly scary. In the first half of the video, tests have concluded that the cloak, hat, and mask are all part of the creature's body. It can communicate in multiple languages, and has stated its main goal is to rid the world of pestilence. Nobody is clear on what that means, but the SCP will get extremely agitated and aggressive if it encounters anyone it deems as infected with pestilence. Anyone this creature touches will die immediately, and autopsies have been inconclusive on the cause of death. If killing a person SCP-049 decides that the pestilence hasn't been cured, it will conduct a surgery using a variety of strange tools. Once this- It's not fully technically accurate? It doesn't do that, it doesn't think it hasn't been cured. It uses that ability on bodies regardless. Like in the current article, it even uses it on animal bodies. It's requesting higher level animals, such as apes more often. But it really wants humans, and it doesn't get an opportunity to. A lot of this- Then again, there may be some conflicts between the old version of it and the new version of it. I don't really think there's too much of a difference in this particular area though. I don't think it experiments- This is a thing. This is not a I think you're wrong thing necessarily, as much as I think you're wrong. But I vaguely recall, and since I voice one of the characters, I voice Dr. Raymond Hamm in the actual article itself. I got a little bit more than a passing familiarity with it. I re-read it a couple of times, because I enjoy my own work. But yeah, I recall very strongly he just experiments now. Like he doesn't care. And I don't think he did it that- I think that's pretty much how he did it before too. Anyway, we'll keep going. Yeah, this is still true though. I mean, hold on. The way that was phrased me, it's not like a Sony 5W bulb was particularly powerful. Which I found particularly funny. Not an error necessarily, but it's a weird way to phrase that. Even a 75W bulb! No end. Extending far below what both the layout of the building and the geography of the area around it should allow. When walking down the staircase, individuals will at some point begin hearing a child's voice, calling up to them from about 200 meters below. No matter how far they descend, however, the child's voice never gets any closer. Well, he's not happy this time? What has been seen, however, is a disembodied white face with no pupils, mouth, or nostrils that appears behind people who try to descend the staircase. Wait, hold on. What? No. It doesn't appear behind people. That's a fairly major error. I thought that would have gotten caught. There's nothing in the article that says that it appears behind people. It appears in front of people. That's literally how it works. Sort of important how it works. People descend downstairs and then they see the face coming out of the darkness. Now, it does sometimes chase people, so it can, of course, be behind you, but every appearance I recall out of the experiments and in the article itself, it appears at first in front of you. It even does that in the surveillance footage that they use for the image. We don't know exactly what happens when the face catches you, but we're pretty sure we don't want to know. Almost no one who runs into SCP-087-1 has returned back to the top of the staircase, and those that did were left in terrible states that might even be worse than death. Humans have a natural drive to care for their young, and that compassion is part of what has allowed us to thrive as a species. What makes SCP-1076 so scary is that it seems to be a creature specifically evolved to exploit that very instinct. SCP-1076 is a race of creatures that resemble disheveled, homeless human children. So this isn't a criticism of the video so much as a criticism of this SCP, but you know what always bothered me about this one? It's a compulsion effect. So they build up this thing as this outwardly very easy to care for creature. It's a little child that needs your help. Everything about it says that it's a little child that needs your help. But who cares? Because it just immediately puts off a compulsion effect that would if it was a six-foot-tall spider monster, maybe it is, it was a six-foot-tall spider monster it would still be cared for like it was a small child. So what does it matter what it looks like other than for thematic reasons, but at the same time that means that it feels very compulsion effects tend to not trust your audience properly. Like you could create this exact same SCP just out of the human nature to want to care for other people. You don't need to create a compulsion effect where you care for it until you die. Anyway, you can even create it as maybe like a replacement child sort of thing. I don't have to explain to you why SCP 096 isn't necessarily all that scary, right? Unless you don't look at this face, you're fine. They put a bag over his head, you're fine. Even on a like civilization scale threat, it's not particularly scary or scary SCP. Well, it's an odd choice for number one. Let's just say that much. We'd love to show you a real picture of what SCP 096 looks like. It's still so happy. But if we did, we see we told you it was horrifying. If you're hungry for more creepy creatures, check- Okay, well, I'll say this. It's definitely a lot, a lot better than the original ones that I reacted to. I wouldn't say that it was necessarily perfect, but what is? Yeah, they've done a much better job with their fact checking. Just small little errors here and there that honestly got in the SCP community. You're probably going to distract people from the content. But what can you do about that? Anyway, that's my take on this one. Thank you very much for watching.
