Description: SCP-1955 is Spleen Eaters From Venus!, a 19 
science fiction film released by Pictures, a defunct Hollywood 
production company. The plot centers around the eponymous 
organ-consuming aliens and the efforts of American suburbanite 
Buck Johnson to stop them. SCP-1955 is similar to many low- 
budget science fiction films from the 1950s, with viewers generally 
criticizing the action, special effects, and sets as being of low quality. 


SCP-1955's anomalous properties manifest whenever any subjects 
view at least thirty minutes of footage of SCP-1955 continuously." 
After the effect is triggered, viewers suffer from a permanent 
perception disorder: any fictional narrative viewed? is perceived to 
be a low-budget science fiction film from the late 1940s to early 
1960s. Original actors and plot elements remain, but are altered in 
such a way that the following are consistent: 


-Acting performances are generally lower in quality, with line delivery 
described as "melodramatic" or "hokey". 
-Special effects utilized in the film are altered so that they are ona 


similar production scale of films from the 1950s; CGI is replaced with 
actors in costumes, high-scale 3D effects replaced with Technicolor 
light tricks, and so forth. 

-Plot elements of the film are altered so that they fit a science fiction 
narrative (e.g., a romantic comedy will be altered to include aliens, 
cryptids, or similar elements). 

- % of films set outside the United States are altered so that their 
location is changed to the United States, usually in a suburban 
setting. Films in languages other than English are translated into 
English. 


Animated films and non-fictional narratives (such as news reports 
and documentaries) are not affected. Thus far, researchers have not 
discovered a way to reverse the effects of SCP-1955. 


Addendum: On 30 Aug 1999, the Foundation located , one 
of the actors in SCP-1955 and a close friend of the director, 

(who had passed away in 1980). Agent conducted an 
interview, transcribed below. 


Agent __: Could you describe how you first become 
involved with the production of Spleen Eaters From 
Venus!? 


: The same way everyone got involved in movies 
back then. My uncle gave him 40 grand to make the 
movie, so | got cast in the lead role. | hadn't acted since 
high school, but | was so excited to be in a movie that | 
didn't care. 


Agent :Howdid behave during the 
production? 


:Umm..."oddly", would be one way to put it. He 
barely said two words to anyone the whole time we were 
filming the movie, except to give us the most bare-bones 
directions possible. Kept mumbling to himself about how 
this was his "masterpiece", always drifting off into 
space... it was pretty disconcerting. As soon as we 
finished up production, everyone left the studio and 
stayed as far away from him as possible. 


Agent _ : The film did not do well financially... 


: Hah! It was a complete flop. I'd be surprised if 
more than a hundred people saw it. The head of the 
production company, | think his name was ; 
threatened to cut 's head off if he ever saw him 
again. | never acted again after that, and as far as | 
know, he never directed another film. 


Agent _: How did he react to the film's financial failure? 


: Somethin’ snapped inside him, | think. | only saw 
him once after that; it was a few weeks after the 
premiere. | went over to his house to give him some 
consolation wine I'd bought him, and when he answered 
the door, he looked like a train hit him. Eyes bloodshot 
red, clothes hadn't been washed in days, the works. 


Agent — : What did he say to you? 


: Not much. Thanked me for the wine, said he was 
going to invite me to see his "Director's Cut" once he 
finished it. Said it was going to "change the world of 
cinema." 


Agent —_: You never saw his new version...? 


: Nope. Anyone with eyes like he had wasn't doing 
anything | wanted to be part of. 


Footnotes 


1. Research has determined that brief lapses of attention, such as 
looking at a wristwatch or reaching for a beverage, do not interrupt 
the continuous flow necessary to activate SCP-1955's anomalous 


effect. 


2. "Fictional narrative", in this context, has been determined to be 
any story of at least 30 minutes in length in which participants are 


clearly acting out parts.

SCP-1956: The Gnomes 


Item #: SCP-1956 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Each instance of SCP-1956 is 
to be contained in an individual standard humanoid containment 
chamber. Each instance of SCP-1956 is to be fed standard rations 
daily. Personnel tasked with interviewing SCP-1956 must read sheet 
SCP-1956-A-Lagomian, which contains SCP-1956's partially 
translated language. Small items, such as culinary mushrooms and 
cheese, may be given if good behaviour is maintained. 


Description: SCP-1956 is the collective designation of 53 humanoid 
beings measuring approximately 0.6 m in height and 8 kg on 
average. They vaguely resemble human infants with striped clothes 
of varying appearance covering their entire bodies except for their 
faces. Testing has revealed these clothes are actually part of their 
bodies. Even though they possess a varying number of tentacle-like 
appendages on their heads, they have the same physiological 
needs as human beings. 


SCP-1956 are capable of telepathic communication and changing 
their body structure to generate new limbs. They are also capable of 
swallowing objects that should not fit inside them. The means 
through which they achieve this are still being researched. These 
abilities assist them in their characteristic "performances", which 
involve musical numbers and acrobatic stunts simultaneously. (See 
Video Log 1956-17) 


SCP-1956-1 are gasoline-powered robots used by instances of 
SCP-1956 to play music. They resemble arthropod-like versions of 
common musical instruments, as well as unidentifiable versions. 
They seem to possess a rudimentary intelligence and refuse to be 
played by anyone other than instances of SCP-1956.

+ Video Log 1956-17 
<Commence Log> 


00:00 - Instances crawl and jump around the walls, 
grabbing the bugs with their head tentacles and slowly 
swallowing them. The bugs thrash around as they do so. 


00:38 - Instances chew and regurgitate the bugs, now 
transformed into musical instruments. They bite the 
instruments so they don't escape. 


00:45 - Instances start playing. Some start to ride their 
winged instruments and fly around the stage, often in 
erratic angles and very close to the audience. They finish 
by colliding with each other. After falling, they break their 
bones and then move them back into their original 
positions without showing any signs of pain. 


03:30 - Several instances climb on top of each other and 
combine multiple keyboards into a ring. Three other 
instances climb into it and start tap dancing to play music 
as the others spin the ring-shaped keyboard. After 
several minutes, they spin it so fast the instances inside 
the ring combine into a single, deformed body. They 
keep playing for several more minutes, despite signs of 
extreme discomfort. After the end, the deformed 
instances lift a guitar above their heads and then swing it 
down with extreme force, crushing them and part of the 
ground. They crawl out of the debris, now separated. 


06:32 - Instances climb on top of each other to form a 
pyramid-like shape. At the top are two instances 
balancing themselves on top of beetle-like instruments. 
The instances below start spinning and playing as the 
Ones on top try to push each other off into the ground 
below. The music climaxes as the instances on top jump 
into the air and hit each other, causing their instruments 
to break into their components, which fly into the 
audience's faces while on fire. Before they can hit, the 
instances grab them with their head tentacles and then 
swallow them. 


08:30 - Performance ends.

Addendum SCP-1956-3: Interview Log 


Interviewed: SCP-1956-17, identified as "Wali Oodim 
Ziptzok" 


Interviewer: Agent 


Foreword: Due to the incomplete translation of 
Lagomian, the meanings of some words are estimations. 


<Begin Log> 


Agent : SCP-1956-17, can you tell us more about 
your home? 


SCP-1956-17: Ahhhh...from Lagom. Big place, bigger 
than this. Stone clouds woven together. 


Agent : Please elaborate. 


SCP-1956-17: Lagom has <UNKNOWN: "cursumi">, 
rock and metal combined, and we cultivate < UNKNOWN: 
“uilicoz">, a < UNKNOWN: "uiliken"> of glowing plants to 
light the places where there are no lights. Dark almost 
everywhere. Before cursumi and uilicoz, we were alone 
and could not travel far. Scare to think of this 
<UNKNOWN: "zulims">. Glad not born back then. 


Agent : Isn't there a ground below? 


SCP-1956-17: What? Ground empty. Funny to look at 
sometimes. Makes head hurt. Others live there, they say, 
but | don't believe. Nothing to touch, everyone know! 
That funny talk, | say. 


Agent : Please tell me more about your species. 


SCP-1956-17: We are young, <father/protector> used to 
say. Many older things out there. We have many colors 
and stripes around, not just these you see. Dark almost 
always, so we play music, dance and sing. We don't live 
more than 10 <UNKNOWN: "hirzulims">, many monsters 
around, so we have many brothers. But we are smart, 
we build traps and study monsters, then build monsters 
that work for us. They are called < UNKNOWN: 
"harrzagumluboks">, and some help us play better 
music. 


Agent : How did you arrive here? 


SCP-1956-17: Ahhh...complicated. We don't know 
everything. But here goes. We received a visit from a 
group of you on <UNKNOWN: "marl hubum hirzulim">. 
But this was not new, you tall guys visited us before, just 
to hear us play and see us dance. They came from these 
holes and doors that lead to a place full of books, but we 
don't know how to go there. The new visitors said they 
were artists and musicians, a circus. They brought weird 
animals and toys with them, and more tall guys, but all 
very different. One was very scary, he had an upside- 
down face. They brought much food and drink too, to 
have this big party before the bet with our 
<UNKNOWN:"Nargalums">. 


Agent : What was the bet? 


SCP-1956-17: We had a competition to see best artists. 
But this time, they did not wanted metal or 
harrzagumluboks, they wanted me and the others you 
have here. It was best out of three, like Nargalums said. 
First, there was best music part. We won, you should 
saw it. Fular has had very bad music, very funny. Then 
came the dances, and Fular brought these tall guys 
made of wood with strings on them, and they won. On 
the last part, there was cooking, and their food was so 
very good. I'm... I'm sorry, | should not talking like that. | 
know they not play fair! Only way! 


Agent : Did your leaders agree with letting the circus 
take you? 


SCP-1956-17: ...Yes. They did. After all, they won all 
that cheese, mushrooms and harrzagumluboks we never 
saw before. Can you believe that? Fular won, and he 
had still the courage to offer them more, as if we were 
not enough! 


Agent : Thank you. This is enough for the interview. 


SCP-1956-17: Wait! You tall guys in white are very 
smart! We heard you talking about the holes and doors 
those tall guys with the books could make! Do you think 
you make some for us so we can go back? We miss our 
families and our home! We will give you anything! 


Agent : | will see what we can do.

SCP-1957: Cleanliness 


Item #: SCP-1957 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-1957 are 
held in vacuum sealed containment lockers, located in Site-77. 
All containment lockers used in SCP-1957's containment must be 
waterproofed, and checked daily for the presence of moisture. 
Personnel assigned to study SCP-1957 are to be screened for the 
presence SCP-1957 flakes upon exiting the containment area. 


Research into how SCP-1957 factored into the creation of the 
SCP-1837 anomaly is ongoing. 


Description: SCP-1957 designates a collection of 45 anomalous 
soaps. Instances of SCP-1957 have varying colors and sizes, with 
the only unifying features being the anomalous property they share 
and that each instance of SCP-1957 has the words "keep our 
streets clean!" embossed into its exterior. 


Application of SCP-1957 to the skin of a human subject partially 
submerged in liquid water will result in particulates, dead skin flakes 
and foreign mater being removed from the superficial epidermis and 
absorbed into SCP-1957. While applying SCP-1957, subjects will 
report feelings of cleanliness and strength. Post-exposure, subjects 
will claim to feel as though they had not bathed for several days, and 
attempt to resume the use of SCP-1957 if it is provided. 


If the subject is exposed to SCP-1957 repeatedly, they may begin to 
attract objects the subject considers refuse. Initially this will manifest 
as small particulates and fine matter. As time goes on this effect will 
increase in its intensity, with larger objects being pulled towards the 
subject's body, ceasing movement upon contacting their skin. An 
upper limit for this effect appears to correspond with the size of the 
body of water the subject was exposed within, with larger bodies of 


water increasing the intensity of exposure. 


After 2-3 weeks of exposure, SCP-1957 will begin flaking 
particulates onto the subject if they are still using it. These flakes will 
cling to living human tissue until exposed to moisture, after which 
they will detach themselves and begin growing. After 3 hours, these 
flakes will become instances of SCP-1957. With repeated growth of 
more intense SCP-1957 instances, testing has shown that objects 
not normally considered to be refuse may be affected, such as 
vehicles, abandoned buildings, deceased organisms, and 
[REDACTED]. Subjects may be crushed or suffocate to death due to 
the pressure created by these objects. Upon the death of the 
subject, SCP-1957's anomalous effect will cease. 


SCP-1957 was discovered on 9/18/1976, after personnel within 
[REDACTED] intercepted reports of its effect originating from the 
former town of , FL. Agents investigating the area found over 
affected subjects, with over 45% of the town's residential buildings 
having been affected. The source of exposure was determined to be 
a local pool, which contained: 


* Six instances of SCP-1957. 

* Twenty pounds of discarded newspaper. 

¢ Rusted metal pipes, which had been pulled from the pool's 
underground plumbing. 

* The remains of several abandoned mobile homes which had 
been parked 2.4 kilometers away. 

¢ 22 human corpses, originating from a local cemetery. 


Due to SCP-1957's primarily being found within urban areas, it is 
currently theorized that it was deliberately created and exposed to 
human population centers. Research into groups potentially 
responsible for SCP-1957's creation is ongoing. As of 08/17/1978, 
SCP-1957 has been classified as Euclid. 


Addendum: Document recovered from [REDACTED] group, 
believed to be connected to SCP-1957.
