where is part 2 of top scp 100 scariest entities and is the more parts to of this series. if so please share with me?
It’s probably never getting finished since I’d have to redo the whole thing to a higher standard of quality. Plus now there are like 10,000 different entries. If you want to know which ones I consider the scariest now, try out SCP-231, SCP-3512, SCP-5999, SCP-6670, SCP-7179, and SCP-8980.

5000 and 5999 are the most ridiculously overrated articles on the wiki and nothing else even comes close

The Red Pool, This is Where I Died, and Art About Nothing
I think there’s a lot of value in art that’s weird for the sake of being weird. I used to really like SCP (I’ve kind of gotten detached from it more recently), and while I think SCP-3002 (Attempts to Assassinate Thought) is my favorite, and SCP-5000 (Why?) is the best-written thing on the site, there is a lot of value in pieces like SCP-354 (The Red Pool) which has a very good story but isn’t really about anything.
I often times rag on media like The Office for not being really about anything, but I think 354 succeeds at not being about a whole lot because it gives a good unsettling atmosphere that makes no sense in or out of context.
We’re taught when writing that if you’ve written a mystery that you have to have an answer to it, or at the very least a couple conflicting explanations that the audience can bicker over. (the SCP style guide has the same rules for redactions; if something is redacted there has to be a reason for it to be redacted and the author has to know what was redacted) I legitimately think SCP-354 was written by some 14-year-old who is good at writing on a technical level, but mostly picked a bunch of unsettling things to happen and a bunch of places to put data corruption. It works; it’s successful, but I doubt it means anything. SCP-5000 means something; when you are unable to interact with other people, you cease to be human. SCP-3002 means something; your memories are what makes you you. SCP-354 means nothing and that’s absolutely fine because it’s a good story and it works.
SCP-5999 is one of the weirdest SCPs because it has a similar idea to SCP-354, where a bunch of weird semi-correlated things happen in it, but it has a lot of repeated imagery and numbers, which seems like it should mean something but the explanation is that it means nothing and in-universe is designed to lead the reader on for Watsonian reasons. This is fundamentally unsatisfying, and I think the only thing it actually says is “SCPs which are just a mystery and don’t say anything are unsatisfying”, which is kind of weird because, as mentioned, SCP-354 is great.
I like SCP-5999 for its writing and its horror and what happens in it, but the way that the author self-describes those stories as cliché and kind of treats their own writing as bait is kind of odd. It seems like they’re kind of going after SCPs that are horror for horror’s sake and berating the reader for enjoying them. You aren’t meant to enjoy them, that’s how the Foundation gets you.
There’s irony in that a piece of art about how a style of art is uninspired works well as a piece of art in the style it’s criticizing. I want to say that 5999 doesn’t get 354, but there isn’t a whole lot to get. It’s a simple story that’s kind of about fuck all, and is valuable because it’s well-written and succeeds at its main goal of unsettling the reader.
Modern SCP has a major problem with how it makes new authors come up with a good story in order to get their articles approved. The only article I’ve ever gotten approved was one with an inventive concept and a story to accompany it and its implications. Arguably the main issue with this is a Watsonian one; why are so many SCPs large stories when logically most should be shit like one of those pens with four colors that you press down on the sides to use but no matter which one you press down, the one you pressed down becomes the blue pen? The gateway to SCP is the older articles which were written by the aforementioned 14-year-olds trying to write something unsettling, while now not only is there a (purported although not enforced because it can’t be) rule against minors writing articles, but also there’s a process making you include a greater meaning to your story within your pitch. 
Weird for weird’s sake is arguably dead in SCP, to the point that authors actively criticize it, and I think that’s a shame because we need to be more appreciative not only of art that is weird for weird’s sake but of the platforms that allow authors who are technically skilled although not necessarily great at symbolism to create their weird art.

SCPF: Makes a lethal memetic agent disguised as an SCP article in order to stop Swann Entities from tempering with their universe
Me: Rewatches the narration of said article almost monthly, if not even more frequently, because it's a genuinely nice piece of literature (not to mention Volgun did a great job)

Which SCPs scares you the most? Mine is SCP-001 When Day Breaks. There’s something about the sun itself melting people into piles of fleshy goo yet not dying and hunting down survivors terrifies me.
That one is really terrifying. I'm still slowly going through the story but so far it's probably one of the worst, at least in terms of being super creepy.
SCP-5999 (This Is Where I Died) is one I found recently, and it's both spooky and kind of neat. Without spoiling too much, this SCP is a way for the O5 Council to try and take out... us, basically. SCP fans lol Thankfully, they haven't succeeded yet.

i fucking love scp 5999 its so funny. Extremely esoteric and intricate and complex scp with religious motifs and ritualistic phrasing and strange titled Chapters and multiple warnings telling you to not proceed or read any further. there's a murder victim curse ghost and a haunted town and a catholic task force and a creepy video game. its like a compilation of every scp trope. why? because the entire article is actually, in-universe, made up (originally?) and is in fact made to kill "YOU" (or rather, the scp writers) via a memetic kill agent. its just trying to hold your attention for the agent to take effect. its top tier meta stuff. it presents itself completely seriously and with no hint of irony, but it is, with the full context, one of the most comical entries in the site's history

173 Influential SCPs
I went to SCPper, found the most upvoted articles by users who've made at least one SCP, and sorted by time. These aren't necessarily the 173 best articles on the site, but I think they're likely to be the most influential. Longtime fans have probably read most or all of these but maybe this could be a starting point for newcomers.
I think sorting by time is important because the Foundation's been around almost 17 years. Writers come and go, trends come and go, new writers are influenced by what came before, and later articles are often longer and more complex than earlier ones. Just sorting by most upvoted bounces you around time; on the main wiki you read mostly series 1 articles then get dunked into SCP-5000. I hope this is a more natural progression.
Using upvotes from writers only is important because the more writers like an article, the more likely later SCPs are to be influenced by it, so those articles are more likely to be important for understanding the wiki as a whole.
I might do an alternate version of this list that replaces the extremely long articles with shorter SCPs.
If you have trouble understanding one of the articles (some of the later ones get LONG), look it up on r/SCPDeclassified.
