What happens

Shelby Oaks is a 2024 American supernatural mystery horror film produced, written, and directed by Chris Stuckmann in his feature directorial debut, with Mike Flanagan as an executive producer. It stars Camille Sullivan, Brendan Sexton III, Keith David, Sarah Durn, Derek Mears, Emily Bennett, Charlie Talbert, Robin Bartlett, and Michael Beach. It follows a woman (Sullivan) determined to find her sister (Durn), who went missing while investigating the mysterious abandoned town of Shelby Oaks. The story for Shelby Oaks was written by Stuckmann and his wife, Samantha Elizabeth. An independent production, the film was crowdfunded through Kickstarter. By March 2022, it had become the most-funded horror film on the platform after raising $650,000. Principal photography took place in Stuckmann's home state of Ohio in mid-2022. Shelby Oaks had its world premiere at the 28th Fantasia International Film Festival on July 20, 2024, after which Flanagan became attached to the project as an executive producer. The film was subsequently re-edited and underwent reshoots before it was released at Fantastic Fest in September 2025. The film was released theatrically in the United States by Neon on October 24, 2025, to mixed reviews from critics and grossed $8 million at the box office against its 1.4 million budget, making it a financial success.
