[SCP-106](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-106) is pretty damn creepy too. Warning for the easily disturbed - includes scary pics (no clowns, but still) ---

The one with the statue that kills people by snapping their necks, but can only move when it’s not being watched. Even blinking isn’t safe around it. There’s a game being built around it. ---

There’s a game being built around it. That’s [173](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-173). From looking at the comments earlier, it seems like it was one of the first stories ever written for the site. ---

An animated teddy bear that turns out to be a major jerk. I felt the story was a bit let down by the idea that it made another, aggressive teddy bear out of human ears. How would that work? Did SCP personnel not notice that their ears were missing? ---

> [@Darth\_Sensitive](#): > > Isn’t that the premise for a Dr. Who episode? You’re thinking of the Weeping Angels. SCP-173 was posted before that episode aired, so as far as anyone knows it’s a case of convergent evolution. [QUOTE=Stark Raven Mad] Some of it, like this wonderful piece, or Smapti’s stuff, is more along the lines of pre-internet sci-fi/fantasy. [/QUOTE] I find that I rarely write straight horror for the site; I prefer to go in a vein of “Hmm, that’s interesting” or “Now that’s just plain damn weird.” My tales (short stories set in the SCP universe that don’t follow the standard format) tend to be of a more light-hearted nature. I’m particularly proud of the Lord Blackwood tales (Pulp action/adventure starring [a Victorian gentleman explorer](http://scp-wiki.net/scp-1867) who borrows from Indiana Jones, Alan Quatermain, and John Carter), the[Doctors of the Church series](http://www.scp-wiki.net/doctors-of-the-church-hub) (a Canticle For Leibowitz-esque post-apocalypse version of the Foundation as a priestly caste), and [Saturday Night SCP Showdown](http://www.scp-wiki.net/saturday-night-scp-showdown) (a deliberately goofy crossover between the Foundation and the WWF circa 1991.) ---

231 is without a doubt the most disturbing one. It’s also a magnificent example of peterition. Best use of redaction I’ve seen on the site, I think. > [@Koxinga](#): > > I think this was the first one I read: [SCP 701](http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-701), “The Hanged King’s Tragedy.” I think this was my first SCP too, and I love it. The picture is so creepy! (Well, for some reason it lost a bit when I noticed the high heels, but still pretty good!) Anyone who likes it should read [The King in Yellow](http://www.amazon.com/The-King-Yellow-Robert-Chambers/dp/1408675838) - it’s pretty obviously rooted in that set of stories. I also like 173. There are a couple Youtube video renditions people have done that are fun (if decidedly amateur). I adore my fellow netizens. I only had to Google, “SCP ind” and “[SCP indestructible lizard](http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-682)” came up as the first recommended search. (It’s scarier than that description sounds, btw.) [Hello, I am SCP-426](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-426) is delightful and comical, but also has a slight slow-burn existential horror underneath. ---

> [@Erdosain](#): > > A lot of these are really well done. This one, however, is just gross. It reads like it was from a pedo’s spank file. Yuck. I’m pretty sure that that’s what Clef (the author) was going for when he wrote that one. The genius of it, though, is that the reader is only lead to _assume_ that squicky things are going on; it’s never stated outright. There’s one school of thought that the poor girl the article revolves around is, in fact, a gray whale. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > There’s one school of thought that the poor girl the article revolves around is, in fact, a gray whale. It’d be pretty difficult for a gray whale “to be kept restrained to a hospital bed at all times”. By the way–for anyone who hasn’t seen it–fans of the SCP Foundation stories might like the movie _The Cabin In The Woods_. ---

OK, I’m liking the [coffee machine](http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-294). A nice reminder that not all of these things are malicious, and some can be quite useful. Though I wonder what it’d deliver if asked for a cup of something almost, but not entirely, unlike tea.
