Item #: 4750
Object class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4750 is to be contained in a standard anomalous objects locker. All personnel with a Level 2 clearance and above are granted access to the entity.
Description: SCP-4750 is a standard VHS cassette tape with no label sticker on the front. Upon viewing in a standard VHS player, the tape appears to show an extremely poor quality hand-held recording of 1978 film "Halloween". Notably, the character of ███████ █████ appears in higher visual quality than the rest of the footage, though still poor quality relative to a standard copy of the film.
Anomalous properties do not surface until SCP-4750 is watched to completion. Any subjects who watched SCP-4750 to completion begin to exhibit mild anxiety and signs of stress. A few minutes after exposure to SCP-4750, subjects will calm down naturally.
A few days after exposure, further symptoms of SCP-4750 will begin to develop. Symptoms vary from subject to subject, with the most common being a reluctance to open doors in dark spaces. Further symptoms develop as time progresses, until instances of SCP-4750-1 apparently begin to appear after a week.
SCP-4750-1 is supposedly male, roughly 6'8" in height, wearing a grey boiler suit and a white mask with brown artificial hair, wielding a large kitchen knife. Subjects claim that opening doors or windows in dark spaces will result in SCP-4750-1 materializing somewhere in view in the distance, and watching the subject until sight is broken. Upon breaking sight, SCP-4570-1 apparently disappears. Supposed sightings of this figure cause great distress in subjects, though claims of sightings are yet to be substantiated.

Dr. Landis: Hello there, D-1092. I'd like to get your thoughts on what you just watched.
D-1092: Th-that… I watched that movie as a kid, doc, but it ain't never scared me like that before.
Dr. Landis: You were scared. It is a scary movie, isn't it? Can you tell me what exactly scared you, D-1092?
D-1092: I-I dunno, he just kept… appearing, you know? Can I… get a drink of water or something?
[Dr. Landis looks over to the guard monitoring the interview, who leaves momentarily to get a jug of water and a glass. D-1092 spends the next few minutes drinking water and breathing heavily, until Dr. Landis interrupts.]
Dr Landis: D-1092? How are you feeling now?
D-1092: Better, doc, thanks.
Dr Landis: That's good to hear. You'll be escorted back to your cell now, and we'll be monitoring you over the next few days.
<Log Ends>
Analysis: Subject showed signs of fear and short-lived anxiety. Subject calmed naturally within a few minutes on the surface level, but still seems somewhat disturbed.

Time After Exposure: One Week
<Begin Log>
[The door to the interview room opens, followed by high-pitched screaming from D-1092. After a few moments, the screaming stops, and D-1092 moves to his chair and sits down. Throughout the rest of the interview, when not talking, D-1092 mutters quietly.]
Dr. Landis: Hello, D-1092. How are you feeling?
D-1092: He's out to get me, doc. In the darker corridors, when the lights are flickering, I see him in the distance. Watching me. He's just there. He doesn't move until you look away. He's just there.
Dr. Landis: Interesting. Who's there, D-1092? Who's watching you?
D-1092: It's him, doc. From the movie. Big fella. He's got a knife. He watches from a distance, doc. Just watches.Dr. Landis: You're being watched by… a movie character?
D-1092: You don't believe me, do you? He's out there, doc. He's gonna kill me. He's just biding his time, doc. He likes watching. You gotta save me. Put me in some room with no windows, no doors. Just lock me up where he can't get me.
Dr Landis: I'm sorry, D-1092, I find it hard to believe that a movie character is stalking you. Perhaps you're simply hallucinating from stress?
D-1092: No, doc! You gotta believe me! You gott-
[D-1092 cuts himself off and lunges at the doctor. The guard monitoring the interview yells for D-1092 to unhand the doctor, and a struggle ensues. The door opens, and D-1092 grows quieter as he is dragged away.]
Dr. Landis: [Muttering] Friggin' nutcase.
<Log Ends>
Analysis: Subject seems to be suffering from severe hallucinations and psychosis. Slimy rat can't keep his lunacy to himself.
Notes: Without the color commentary next time, Doctor.

Time After Exposure: Two Weeks

[There is silence for the first twenty seconds of the tape.]Dr. Landis: Hello, D-1092. Have you calmed down?
D-1092: Yessiree, doc. I figured out a way to beat him.
Dr. Landis: And that way is… what you're doing right now, yes?
[D-1092 is holding both hands in front of his eyes and grinning.]
D-1092: That's right. He comes when you open doors. Don't have to be actual doors. Any sorta doors will do. Hand doors, eye doors, windoors, as long as it opens he'll watch ya. Can't come if you don't open 'em.
Dr. Landis: And this "he" is still the character from the movie, yes?
D-1092: That's right, doc.
[Dr. Landis looks over to the guard monitoring the interview, and nods. The guard moves over to D-1092, who puts up significant resistance, and attempts to scream and bite at the guard. After a few moments, the guard wrestles D-1092's hands away from his eyes. A large male wearing a boiler suit and and a white mask with a kitchen knife appears behind Dr. Landis, staring at D-1092. The guard steps away, and back to the door to monitor.]
Dr. Landis: There, see? Nothing to worry about.
[D-1092 screams and points behind the doctor, babbling incoherently. Dr. Landis looks behind himself, then back to D-1092, and slaps the man in the boiler suit on the abdomen.]
Dr. Landis: Oh, him? No, he's always been here. Please, there's nothing to be afraid of. You're simply still scared of the film, and your mind is running wild as a result. Calm down, D-1092.
[D-1092 screams repeatedly as the figure approaches him. The man in the boiler suit proceeds to insert the knife into the subject's stomach as he grabs D-1092's neck and lifts him into the air by it. D-1092 begins coughing up blood, to which Dr Landis begins to massage his temples and sighs. The man in the boiler suit repeatedly removes and inserts the knife into the subject's stomach, draws a line across the subject's throat using it, then rapidly places the subject's head against a wall and back again. Blood begins to pool from D-1092's head, as he remains silent. The man in the boiler suit releases D-1092, who falls to the floor and does not move. The man in the boiler suit disappears.]
Dr. Landis: Please escort D-1092 back to his cell until he learns to co-operate, and understands that there is nothing to fear.
[D-1092 is escorted back to his cell, though with significant resistance as he does not use his legs, and has to be dragged.]
Analysis: Subject is suffering from extreme psychosis and ludicrous hallucinations as a result of an old horror movie. I would recommend finding a new subject and fast, as I have a feeling that he will not co-operate soon.
Notes: Noted.
Addendum: Subject was found dead in holding cell one week after final recording. Post-mortem suggests stabbing in the abdomen, slit throat, and crushed trachea, but no implement could be found to make these wounds in subject's cell. Investigation put on hold due to low priority.
