Four years have gone by since Chris Stuckmann, a movie critic and author with a channel on YouTube that has over 2 million subscribers, signed a deal with Paper Street Pictures to write and direct the mystery horror film Shelby Oaks. Three years ago, the project became the most-funded horror film project in Kickstarter history, with its crowdfunding campaign pulling in over $1 million. Filming took place in the Cleveland, Ohio area back in 2022, genre regular Mike Flanagan came on board as an executive producer last year, and Neon not only picked up the distribution rights, they also dropped more money into the budget for reshoots that included adding more “gore and violence.” Now, Shelby Oaks is finally set to reach theatres on October 3rd, and with that date swiftly approaching, the finished film has finally received its rating from the Motion Picture Association. It’s rated R for violent content/gore,...

Neon has released the first red band trailer for Shelby Oaks, and based on what we see here, the movie is shaping up to be a highly unsettling watch.

Produced by horror maestro Mike Flanagan, the paranormal mystery thriller marks the feature directorial debut of popular YouTube film critic-turned-filmmaker Chris Stuckmann. Shelby Oaks was met with a (mostly) positive reception when it screened at Fantasia and FrightFest last year (it's currently sitting at 81% on Rotten Tomatoes), and is set to release in theaters on October 3rd, 2025.

There's still quite a bit about the story that's being kept under wraps, but the movie follows a woman named Mia (Camille Sullivan), who becomes obsessed with finding out what happened to her sister Riley, a paranormal investigator who vanished without a trace with her crew back in 2008. Mia's search leads her to the foreboding town of Shelby Oaks, where some seriously messed-up stuff appear to be going on.

Neon ha desvelado el primer tráiler y póster de la película de terror Shelby Oaks, que marca el debut en la dirección del crítico de cine youtuber Chris Stuckmann.

En Shelby Oaks, a medida que Mia, una famosa YouTuber que investiga sucesos paranormales, descubre nuevas e inquietantes pistas relacionadas con la desaparición de su hermana Riley, comienza a sospechar que el demonio imaginario de su infancia pudo haber sido real, un misterio que está decidida a resolver, aunque todo parece indicar que debería mantenerse lo más lejos posible de Shelby Oaks.

El filme, que combina elementos de found footage con una narrativa de corte sobrenatural, está protagonizado por Camille Sullivan (Hunter Hunter), Brendan Sexton III (Ballard), Michael Beach (La pareja perfecta), Robin Bartlett (Shutter Island), Keith David (The Thing), Charlie Talbert (Rebel Ridge), Emily Bennett (Alone With You...

The new horror mystery Shelby Oaks is getting ready to scare audiences this October, and the official trailer has just dropped. The movie is the feature directing debut of YouTuber and film critic Chris Stuckmann, who also wrote the script. It’s produced by Aaron B. Koontz, Cameron Burns, and Ashleigh Snead, with Neon set to release it in the United States on October 3, 2025.

The story follows Mia Brennan, played by Camille Sullivan, who has been searching for her sister Riley for over a decade. Back in the 2000s, Riley ran a YouTube channel called The Paranormal Paranoids with her friends, visiting haunted locations and filming their ghost-hunting adventures.

The upcoming supernatural horror mystery Shelby Oaks is already building buzz ahead of its release later this year. Written and directed by YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Chris Stuckmann, the movie marks his first time behind the camera for a feature film.

The film is inspired by a viral online found footage campaign about a fictional ghost-hunting group called The Paranormal Paranoids, and now it’s headed to theaters, with Neon set to release it in the United States on October 3, 2025.

The movie stars Camille Sullivan as Mia Brennan, a woman who has spent over a decade looking for her missing sister Riley, played by Sarah Durn. Back in the 2000s, Riley ran a YouTube channel with her friends, visiting haunted spots and filming their adventures.

But during a trip to the abandoned town of Shelby Oaks, Ohio, Riley’s three friends were murdered, and a chilling tape hinted that she may have been taken,...

Finally, we have an official trailer for Shelby Oaks, the feature film debut of writer/director Chris Stuckmann. Plus, it’s executive produced by none other than Mike Flanagan. After a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign (where they raised over $1 million) and a well-received world premiere, the film now has an official trailer and release date.

In the found footage film, “When a documentarian uncovers a disturbing new lead, a woman’s desperate search for her long-lost sister falls into obsession upon realizing that the imaginary demon from their childhood may have been real.“

Shelby Oaks premiered at the Fantasia International Film Festival in 2024 to generally positive reviews and the news that Neon had acquired the film. Then, after months of radio silence, IndieWire reported that Neon sent Stuckmann and his team back to Ohio for reshoots “with an undisclosed amount of supplemental funding that allowed Stuckmann to ramp up the ‘gore and violence.

Chris Stuckmann just made the jump from film critic to full-blown horror filmmaker, and if the first trailer for Shelby Oaks is any clue, we’re in for a wild, spine-tingling ride this spooky season. Is this the found footage fright-fest to bury the others? Or will Stuckmann’s debut be another casualty in the haunted woods? Let’s break down why this first look at Shelby Oaks has everyone talking—and clutching their nightlights.

Chris Stuckmann Brings VHS Horrors Back with “Shelby Oaks” Trailer

The Shelby Oaks trailer wastes no time pulling you into its web of missing persons, haunted videotapes, and raw, escalating dread. The setup? Mia is obsessed with finding her sister Riley, who disappeared after claiming to see something lurking outside her window. Cue the arrival of a creepy, blood-stained VHS tape and the start of Mia’s harrowing descent into Shelby Oaks, an abandoned town...

Neon’s trailer for the indie horror film Shelby Oaks introduces the titular town and a search for a paranormal investigator who went missing while visiting it.

The film stars Michael Beach, Keith David, Sarah Durn, Brendan Sexton III, Camille Sullivan, Emily Bennett, and Rob Grant. Executive producers include Mike Flanagan, Trevor Macy, and Melinda Nishioka, with Cameron Burns, Aaron Koontz, and Ashleigh Snead serving as producers.

During a panel at the 2025 San Diego Comic-Con, first-time feature filmmaker Chris Stuckmann spoke about his lifelong love of films. “Movies have always been my passion. Ever since I was a kid, they legitimately saved my life. I do not think I would be alive this day if I didn’t have the movies experience, something to look forward to every single weekend of being here.

Heading into theaters on October 3rd is director Chris Stuckmann’s horror film Shelby Oaks. Fans, including this one, can’t wait to see what the filmmaker has in store and on Monday, Neon dropped the first trailer and new posters. Check it out.

With over 2 million YouTube subscribers, Stuckmann has provided his fans various updates for the much-anticipated movie: https://www.youtube.com/@ChrisStuckmann/search?query=shelby The movie had its world premiere at the 28th Fantasia International Film Festival on July 20, 2024.

A woman’s desperate search for her long-lost sister, a famous YouTuber who investigated paranormal happenings, falls into obsession upon realizing that the imaginary demon from their childhood may have been real. After a successful Kickstarter campaign that broke records across the platform, the highly anticipated feature debut feature from YouTube creator Chris Stuckmann is finally here and ready to scare the pants off the world. Shelby Oaks delivers in all departments.

These days, it's rare to find a horror movie that's truly terrifying. A lot of them promise to be "the scariest movie ever made," but end up falling flat in their delivery. However, there is one coming along later this year from Neon that could end up being the sleeper hit of 2025, and while it doesn't tout itself as a terrifying classic, the new trailer released today definitely shows hints of greatness.

Titled Shelby Oaks, the supernatural horror mystery features the directorial debut of Chris Stuckmann, a popular YouTuber and film critic with more than 2 million subscribers. Starring Camille Sullivan, Brendan Sexton III, Michael Beach, Robin Bartlett, and Keith David, the film follows a woman's desperate search for her long-lost sister, which turns into obsession when she comes to believe the imaginary demon from their childhood may have been real all along.

Neon has officially turned on the television and hit play on the official trailer for Shelby Oaks. Directed by prominent YouTube film critic Chris Stuckmann in his feature debut, the supernatural horror is slated to release just in time for the spooky season on October 3, and it unravels a chilling mystery that connects a missing paranormal investigator, her sister, and a small town with a haunting past. The first footage takes viewers on a trail through the woods and back to the abandoned town in the search for Riley Brennan (Sarah Durn), as her sister Mia (Camille Sullivan) sinks into obsession in hopes that she's still alive. What she finds, however, are horrors that go beyond the bounds of reality and extend into her worst nightmares.

The opening moments of the trailer begin ominously with a man walking to Mia's house, claiming someone finally let him go before taking his...

"I know my sister's not dead!" So where is she...? Neon has finally unveiled the official trailer for the indie horror film titled Shelby Oaks, marking the feature directorial debut of YouTube movie reviewer Chris Stuckmann. He has made some short films before, but this is his first feature and it is a big deal for those who have been watching him talk about movies for years already. The film premiered at the 2024 Fantasia Film Festival last year, and also played at FrightFest – it's now set for release in theaters starting in October. "Who took Riley Brennan?" Shelby Oaks follows a woman's desperate search for her long-lost sister falls into obsession upon realizing that the imaginary demon from their childhood may have been real. Fantasia adds that: "Stuckmann proves that he's been paying close attention to all those movies he's reviewed over the years, as the results are impressively moody and deftly scripted throughout.

As long as there have been VHS tapes, there have been creepy VHS tapes in movies – most notably, the cursed video in Ring. And it’s a pesky reel that seems to kick off the events of Shelby Oaks, an incoming horror from YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Chris Stuckmann, that comes with some impressive backing – it’s been picked up by Neon, and boasts a producer in the great Mike Flanagan. Check out the spooky teaser.

Eerie stuff! This one looks a little Blair Witch, a little Silent Hill, a little Ringu – with Camille Sullivan’s Mia encountering a bloody tragedy, a creepy tape, and venturing to the mysterious ‘Shelby Oaks’ in search of her sister Riley. By the looks of things, her search doesn’t end in sunshine and rainbows. Stuckmann writes and directs this one in his feature debut, and the film has had positive reactions out of its early festival screenings.

YouTube film critic Chris Stuckmann makes his feature debut with the Neon horror movie Shelby Oaks, and the hotly-anticipated official trailer has been released this afternoon.

A traditional narrative that incorporates found footage elements, the supernatural horror film hits theaters on October 3. Watch the official trailer for Stuckmann’s Shelby Oaks below.

Shelby Oaks is about missing paranormal investigators, the dark legacy they uncovered, and the far-reaching effects their investigation has as Mia searches for her sister Riley, the lead paranormal investigator, 12 years later. The film’s official synopsis continues…

“As Mia uncovers new and disturbing leads related to Riley’s disappearance, she uncovers evidence of a hidden supernatural evil dating all the way back to her and Riley’s childhood.”

Horror master Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep, “The Fall of the House of Usher”) recently came on board the upcoming Shelby Oaks as an executive producer. Flanagan, Trevor Macy and...

Chris Stuckmann’s crowd-funded “Shelby Oaks” is gearing up for its big theatrical release on October 3 — and Neon’s got a lot riding on the supernatural mystery delivering its first major Halloween play at the box office.

Earlier this summer, IndieWire reported that the YouTuber’s supernatural mystery — about a team of ghost hunters who lose one of their own — had undergone significant reshoots. In March, “Shelby Oaks” spent roughly $1 million to head back to Ohio, where they added scenes with “more blood and gore.”

When I reviewed the first cut of “Shelby Oaks” last summer at Fantasia Fest, I knocked it for Stuckmann’s poorly written final girl (Camille Sullivan) and suspense with nonsensical execution. Still, I gave it a “B-” because I admired how Stuckmann paid for it, and his love for the genre was obvious.

Additional scenes aren’t likely to fix a bad script, but there...

Neon has released a series of cryptic teaser posters of Shelby Oaks, the feature debut of YouTube film critic Chris Stuckmann.

The trailer is set to make its way online on Monday, but it’s reportedly attached to screenings of Together in theaters now.

A traditional narrative that incorporates found footage elements, the supernatural horror film hits theaters on October 3.

Shelby Oaks is the highest-funded horror film in Kickstarter history with over $1.3 million raised. Following the campaign,...

Neon will host its inaugural “Next Wave of Horror” panel on Friday, July 25, at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. The panel will feature an exclusive first look at Neon’s horror slate for the remainder of 2025, showcasing films such as Osgood Perkins’ “Keeper” starring Tatiana Maslany, Michael Shanks’ “Together” starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie, and Chris Stuckmann’s “Shelby Oaks.”

The panel will include a discussion with the stars and directors about their horror films, as well as showcase exclusive footage and tease what’s next for Neon in the horror genre.

“Together” follows Tim and Millie (Franco and Brie) years into their relationship, finding themselves at a crossroads as they move to the country, abandoning all that is familiar in their lives except each other. With tensions already flaring, a nightmarish encounter with a mysterious, unnatural force threatens to corrupt their lives, their love, and their flesh.

After years of anticipation, the most-funded horror film on Kickstarter is finally headed to theaters nationwide later this year. It’s not every day that a YouTube film critic makes his dreams a reality, but that was the case for Chris Stuckmann, who wrote and directed an original horror thriller that received positive reviews during a brief festival run in 2024. Now, fans can prepare to get seriously spooked during the perfect time of the year.

As reported by IndieWire, Shelby Oaksis set to hit theaters on Oct. 3. The film is being distributed by Neon, which acquired the thriller after it screened at film festivals in 2024. The directorial debut of Chris Stuckmann was executive produced by Mike Flanagan, the horror maestro who just released his feel-good Stephen King adaptation The Life of Chuck. With an official release date set in stone, expect marketing to ramp up on the long-awaited project closer to the October theatrical debut.

Neon picked up YouTube critic Chris Stuckmann’s debut horror movie Shelby Oaks, and Indiewire reports this weekend that the film will release in theaters on October 3, 2025.

Indiewire’s report also notes that Neon supplied Stuckmann with additional funds to shoot new material after they picked up the movie last year, upping the film’s “gore and violence.”

The outlet details, “The new footage recontextualizes some of the original story, but the name of the game for Stuckmann and Koontz was fleshing out the practical effects.”

Additionally, “Creature actor Derek Mears, famous for playing Jason Voorhees in the 2009 Friday the 13th reboot, joined the cast in an undisclosed role.”

Horror master Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep, “The Fall of the House of Usher”) recently came on board the upcoming Shelby Oaks as an executive producer. Flanagan, Trevor Macy and Melinda Nishioka of Intrepid Pictures joined the team as producers.

I love a cinematic diamond in the rough. It’s such a rush to discover a well-made film that hasn’t found the audience it deserves. When I do unearth a filmic treasure, I usually make haste to share my discovery via my Dread Central column, The Overlooked Motel. As it turns out, Doctor Sleep director Mike Flanagan seems just as fond of an under-seen indie horror effort as I am. He curates a Letterboxd list of his favorite horror movies, and many of his picks are smaller titles that deserve a larger fanbase.

Speaking of that Letterboxd list, I recently noticed that Flanagan added an indie horror effort from 2020 to the lineup. I’m talking about the Devon Sawa-fronted wilderness horror Hunter Hunter. Nice work, Mike. That flick really made an impression on me. I actually need to pay it a repeat visit sometime soon.

I included Hunter Hunter...

The following article contains foul language.

Jared Keeso's hockey-centric Letterkenny spinoff Shoresy is driven by running gags and ongoing jokes, and few are funnier than Shoresy's never-ending pursuit of reporter Laura Mohr, which results in some absolutely hilarious pick-up lines. Not much is known about Shoresy's background, including what his first name is, but over the course of Shoresy the audience learns that there is more heart to the foul-mouthed hockey veteran than he would ever admit. Aside from his pet bird Big Sexy, his most significant soft spot is local reporter Laura Mohr.

Played by Canadian actress Camille Sullivan, Laura Mohr is a divorced single mother (and appears to be a high-functioning alcoholic) who occasionally interacts with Shoresy, the team captain, for insight on the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs.

Stars: Camille Sullivan, Keith David, Michael Beach, Sarah Durn, Brendan Sexton III, Robin Bartlett, Charlie Talbert, Emily Bennett | Written by Chris Stuckmann, Sam Liz | Directed by Chris Stuckmann

Having built a name for himself as a YouTube film critic, Chris Stuckmann made the decision to change lanes and instead become a filmmaker. His feature debut, Shelby Oaks, generated a lot of hype as it became the most funded horror film on Kickstarter, attached horror master Mike Flanagan as an executive producer, and was acquired by Neon for worldwide distribution rights.

The story tells the unsolved case of The Paranormal Paranoids, a once-successful team of paranormal investigators on YouTube who went missing during an investigation. While many believed it was an elaborate hoax, there remains no sign of justice or answers twelve years later. Turning to a documentary crew for help, Mia (Camille Sullivan) remains adamant on discovering what happened to...

When popular YouTube reviewer Chris Stuckmann first announced the crowdfunder for his debut feature, there were (maybe understandably) a fair amount of eye-rolls. But after the project started picking up steam, breaking Kickstarter records (raising nearly $1.4 million in under a month), adding names like Mike Flanagan to the mix in producer roles, and signing a hefty distribution deal with industry icon Neon, the story of Shelby Oaks took a very different turn.

Suddenly, it felt like a real indie success story; the little horror that could. The only thing left for the film to do was actually be good. And it’s safe to say, now that we’ve actually seen it, that Stuckmann and his team have happily crossed that milestone too.

Not only is this a commercially savvy horror that plays with a lot of the most celebrated elements of a number of sub-genres, but Shelby Oaks is...

I am a sucker for found footage, and though Shelby Oaks isn’t exactly that, it does incorporate the concept into its narrative in a way that is unique and satisfying. It’s a horror film that is told largely through a traditional narrative structure, but uses the disappearance of a group of content creators and the final footage that they shot to create the basis for a mystery that takes the audience through a crazy web of both real life and supernatural horrors.

Directed by Chris Stuckmann from a script that he co-wrote with Sam Liz, Shelby Oaks opens as a faux documentary telling the story of the disappearance of a cast of Youtube personalities. In the world of the film, the Paranormal Paranoids had found success in the early days of the platform through creating a show that explored various paranormal locales. One day, they went to film Shelby Oaks,...

If you’re wondering where to find the next generation of great filmmakers, look no further than YouTube. Running a channel involves pumping out content on a regular basis, shooting and editing your own videos (on a limited budget), and learning how to grow an audience; self-taught skills that will come in handy when it comes to making a first feature. A prime example of this is Danny and Michael Philippou, who started off making horror comedy shorts on their channel RackaRacka and went on to direct the very successful Talk To Me. And now there’s another name to add to that list: Chris Stuckmann and his debut feature Shelby Oaks.

For over a decade, Stuckmann has been reviewing movies on YouTube, raking in millions of subscribers. A couple years ago, he set out to make a movie of his own, and launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund it,...

Shelby Oaks is the highly anticipated debut film from Chris Stuckmann, the film critic and YouTube sensation who has parlayed his love of genre film into bringing this story of revenge and redemption to the big screen. Promising to tap the font of found footage films from the ‘90s and 2000s,...

Chris Stuckmann could have rested on his laurels. He could have coasted on his 2 million-plus YouTube subscribers and led a happy, fulfilling life as the internet’s premier movie buff. But teenage dreams don’t go away that easily, and as grateful as he is for the film community that’s formed around his eponymously named YouTube channel, his original ambition was to make movies, not talk about them. The Ohio native has been helming amateur shorts and features with his friends since he was 14 years old, and he continued doing so once he started YouTubing at 21. Each project got better and better, and in 2019, Stuckmann decided to truly make a go at professional filmmaking.

The first domino fell at 2019’s Fantastic Fest, where Stuckmann met Paper Street Pictures’ Aaron B. Koontz. The filmmaker pitched the indie producer on the fly during one of the fest’s signature boxing matches,...

Plot: When Riley (Sarah Durn), a YouTube paranormal investigator, disappears, her older sister, Mia (Camille Sullivan), frantically searches for her.

Review: Of all the films premiering at this year’s edition of the Fantasia Film Festival, very few have piqued the interest of genre fans everywhere, like Shelby Oaks. The feature directorial debut of YouTube film critic Chris Stuckmann (who also wrote and co-produced the film), it was recently snapped up for theatrical release by Neon, who are riding high as a genre distributor following the success of Longlegs. Many of his fans are curious whether Stuckmann’s on-camera criticism translates into solid directorial chops.

So what’s the result? Sad to say, the hope that Shelby Oaks would be the next great horror debut was overblown. This is meant as no sleight against Stuckmann who, I must admit, I know next to nothing about. I’ve only seen a handful of his reviews,...

The feature film debut of writer/director Chris Stuckmann has a solid, albeit slightly familiar, premise. In 2008, four YouTubers known for a ghost hunting show called ‘Paranormal Paranoids’ go missing near the deserted town of Shelby Oaks, sparking conspiracy theories and suspicions it’s a hoax to increase the channel’s notoriety.

When the bodies of Laura (Caisey Cole), Peter (Anthony Baldasare), and David (Eric Francis Malaragni) are discovered, however, the focus shifts to the fourth member: host Riley (Sarah Durn), whose disappearance prompts nationwide speculation around the question: “Who took Riley Brennan?”

That’s the question that Riley’s older sister Mia (Camille Sullivan) can’t stop thinking about. Twelve long years after the disappearance of her supernaturally gifted sibling, Mia is being interviewed by a documentary team led by Janet (Emily Bennett). It’s something of a hail mary by Mia’s husband Robert (Brendan Sexton III), who...

There’s been a bit of mystery surrounding Shelby Oaks, the directorial debut of Chris Stuckmann. A YouTuber who got his start reviewing films and has now amassed over two-million subscribers, Stuckmann pursued his goal of becoming a full-fledged filmmaker, got producers to come aboard, and then pulled off the feat of raising nearly $1.4 million via crowdfunding to finance his film. After making Shelby Oaks, he got Mike Flanagan to sign on as executive producer, nabbed a world premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival, and compelled Neon to pick the film up for a wide theatrical release. While he’s not the first person to pull off the transition from YouTube to theaters––you can look to Danny and Michael Philippou’s (aka RackaRacka) breakout success Talk to Me as another example––Stuckmann’s journey to the big screen is about as ideal as a first-time feature filmmaker could ask for.

Chris Stuckmann’s first feature film, Shelby Oaks tells the story of Mia, a woman who refuses to give up searching for her missing sister Riley. Over a decade ago, Riley and her ghost-hunting YouTube group, the Paranormal Paranoids, vanished without a trace in the abandoned town of Shelby Oaks, Ohio. Now Mia works tirelessly to uncover what happened, believing her sister is still alive.

Stuckmann brings an impressive wealth of genre knowledge to his directorial debut, having been a prominent movie reviewer online for years. For Shelby Oaks, he channels that passion through the captivating mystery at its core. Mia’s quest keeps viewers hooked as secrets are unearthed around every corner. Yet Stuckmann also shows he’s willing to take risks, experimenting with found footage and documentary styles to twist expectations.

While Mia’s obsession grows frustrating at times, actress Camille Sullivan infuses her with nuance that holds the story together.

Whether you want a job done right, or just done right now, do it yourself. That’s the fearless edict uniting first-time feature filmmaker Chris Stuckmann and his headstrong final girl Mia (Camille Sullivan) in the winding mystery of “Shelby Oaks.”

An ambitious horror exploration born of the found footage format, which honors genre but rarely attempts to subvert it, this spooky procedural unearths a new kind of cold case for Neon — this one, fittingly acquired on the heels of the viral “Longlegs,” still running away with the box office now in its second week. When four internet ghosthunters known as the Paranormal Paranoids find trouble in an abandoned town, three turn up dead and the last (Sarah Durn) is never discovered.

“Who took Riley Brennan?” graffiti across the surrounding Ohio area wants to know 12 years later. It’s very Derry and just one of many warm details that make Stuckmann’s universe,...

There's an expression that gets tossed around the entertainment industry that says "Every movie is a miracle." It's a way to express that even with corporate backing, massive budgets, celebrity casting, and a stellar crew, moviemaking is so difficult that it's a miracle that a movie ever comes to fruition. This goes double if not triple for those working outside of the studio system. YouTube film enthusiast-turned-filmmaker Chris Stuckmann is one of those miracle stories, a guy from Ohio who managed to translate making videos about movies in his bedroom to directing the most-funded horror film in Kickstarter history and nabbing a distribution deal from Neon in the process.

"Shelby Oaks" is Stuckmann's directorial feature debut, a film he's been developing for the better part of a decade. The story is centered on a woman named Mia (Camille Sullivan), the sister of paranormal investigator Riley (Sarah Durn) who has been missing for 12 years.

Big news for horror fans and avid followers of YouTuber Chris Stuckmann. The film critic's upcoming horror movie Shelby Oaks has just been picked up by Neon for theatrical distribution. Shelby Oaks will have its world premiere this weekend at the Fantasia Festival and is likely on track for a 2025 release in theaters.

Neon has been the talk of the town lately thanks to the huge success of recent release Longlegs, the captivating and unsettling serial killer starring Maika Monroe as an FBI agent investigating the titular murderer, played by an unrecognizable Nicolas Cage. Longlegs broke the record for the biggest opening weekend box office for original horror this year, earning $22.6 million.

According to Variety, Longlegs was made for less than $10 million and the studio used around that amount to market the film, so by my calculations that means its already broken even on its first weekend in cinemas.

Neon is still popping champagne after the huge box office weekend that their latest release, Longlegs, experienced, which led to the biggest opening of their seven-year history. The indie studio is proving themselves as the place to be for burgeoning talent and provocative releases, and they're looking to establish that point more with each new project they acquire. Fresh off the success of Longlegs, Neon has made moves to pick up a horror film from YouTube personality and filmmaker, Chris Stuckmann.

Per Deadline, Neon has acquired the worldwide rights to Stuckmann's documentary/found-footage horror film, Shelby Oaks, a project he both wrote and directed. The deal came together through Neon's Vice President of Acquisitions & Production Jason Wald, while CEO Aaron B. Koontz, of Paper Street Pictures, handled the deal on Stuckmann's end. Shelby Oaks is set to have its world premiere at the Fantasia Festival this Saturday.

YouTuber Chris Stuckmann’s horror film Shelby Oaks has been picked up by Neon, the distributor behind Longlegs.

Longlegs distributor and production company Neon has picked up the worldwide rights for Shelby Oaks, the debut feature film from YouTube creator Chris Stuckmann.

A hybrid of conventional horror storytelling and found footage, the film’s about a woman looking for missing sister, the co-host of a supernatural podcast who vanished with her two fellow investigators.

Stuckmann, perhaps best known for his successful movie review channel on YouTube, made Shelby Oaks independently, having managed to crowdfund an impressive $1.4m on Kickstarter. That sum set a new record for a horror project on the platform. Stuckmann both co-wrote and directed the film, with production taking place in Ohio in 2022.

Shelby Oaks stars Camille Sullivan as Mia, the sister looking for her missing sister, while the supporting cast includes Sarah Durn, Brendon Sexton III,...

Neon has acquired the rights to “Shelby Oaks,” a found-footage horror film (think: “The Blair Witch Project”) that is the feature directorial debut of YouTuber Chris Stuckmann.

Stuckmann is known for his movie review YouTube channel that has more than 2 million subscribers, but his debut feature was born with a Kickstarter in 2022. Stuckmann raised $1.39 million in less than a month, the most-funded horror film ever on Kickstarter.

“Shelby Oaks” follows Mia as she frantically searches for her sister Riley, who ominously disappeared in the last tape of her investigative series, “Paranormal Paranoids.” The characters are YouTubers themselves in the mid-aughts who in the course of their investigation discover that there’s a paranormal force that dates back to their childhood.

Neon picked up the worldwide rights to “Shelby Oaks” ahead of its world premiere at the Fantasia Festival this Saturday. Stuckmann has been heavily touting the film on his YouTube channel,...
