The all-audiences trailer for Shelby Oaks, a new horror produced by Mike Flanagan, is pretty scary – and the redband trailer is worse.

Chris Stuckmann, best known as a YouTube movie reviewer, makes his feature film debut with Shelby Oaks, which gets major cred by being associated with Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House) and studio Neon (Longlegs, The Monkey, and the new Together), which is releasing the movie into theaters this October.

In Shelby Oaks, Mia (Camille Sullivan) receives a mysterious tape from a stranger who blows his brains out on her doorstep (and this is depicted in the redband trailer.) The newfound footage sends her on the road to the creepy little Ohio town the movie is named after, in order to find clues to the disappearance of her sister Riley (Sarah Dunn) some dozen years back.

The trailer shows Mia interviewing an eerie loner with a grimy cottage in the middle of nowhere, exploring an abandoned prison in the dead of night, and encountering some seriously supernatural horrors when she discovers an imaginary demon from their childhood may have been real.

Brendan Sexton III, Michael Beach, Robin Bartlett, Keith David, Charlie Talbert, Emily Bennett, Sarah Dunn, and Derek Mears also star in Shelby Oaks.

The release of Shelby Oaks has been a long time coming. In 2021, Stuckmann launched a Kickstarter for the film, and his project became one of the most successful campaigns in the platform’s history. Stuckmann, who also wrote the script, got to work on the film, finishing principal photography in 2022, but post-production was delayed by the SAG-AFTRA strikes. Despite that, the film premiered in 2024 in a limited run. Neon then bought the movie, injected more money for reshoots and effects, and hired new cast members for reshoots. Editing the new footage delayed the film by another year.

Shelby Oaks is scheduled to terrify theater audiences beginning October 3rd.
