Not only that this SCP is genuinely scary, but it’s also so cleverly written and executed in a way that would give that sense of cosmic dread achieved by H.P. My final example for the scariest SCP creature is SCP-3000: Anantashesha. I won’t spoil you about this one in case you still haven’t checked it, but despite its infamous nature, it was still commented a number of times from the subject of scariest SCPs: twice on the official forums scariest SCP post and three times from a Reddit post about the scariest SCPs. The next one that I’ll be using as an example will be SCP-1875: Antique Chess Computer. And this danger is further enhanced with neat imagery and imposes the question: “Is this real?”.

SCP-4666 is currently believed to be a single, exceptionally long-lived humanoid entity of unknown origin. Here’s the first sentence of its SCP article: One of the most well-known scariest SCPs of recent date would be SCP-4666, also known as the Yule Man. What is the scariest SCP creature and story? The emotion that something is very dangerous and this danger is real, unless in our minds. When we feel alarmed, we feel something beyond fear: dread.
