‘Shelby Oaks' trailer: Chilling first look at Chris Stuckmann's found-footage horror debut
Shelby Oaks stars Camille Sullivan as Mia, a woman searching for her sister Riley (Sarah Durn), who vanished while investigating paranormal activity. The trailer introduces the film's central mystery, revealing found footage elements and a disturbing VHS tape that propels Mia into the titular town of Shelby Oaks. There, she begins to uncover dark secrets tied to their shared past and a potentially real childhood demon.
The film's visual style leans on handheld camera work, faux-documentary framing, and traditional found footage techniques, drawing comparisons to earlier genre entries like The Blair Witch Project and The Ring. Stuckmann, best known for his YouTube film reviews, has cited those influences in shaping the tone and pacing of his first feature.
Neon has scheduled Shelby Oaks for a theatrical release on October 3, positioning it as part of the studio's Halloween slate. Earlier this year, the production underwent additional filming in Ohio, reportedly costing around $1 million, to increase the level of horror and intensity. These reshoots added more blood and gore to the final cut, aligning it more closely with audience expectations.
The film is produced by Aaron B. Koontz, Cameron Burns, and Ashleigh Snead, with executive producers including Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy. The supporting cast features Brendan Sexton III, Keith David, and Michael Beach. Music is composed by The Newton Brothers.
Shelby Oaks also incorporates elements from the 'Paranormal Paranoids' online video series, which served as inspiration for the film's story and promotional campaign. With over two million YouTube subscribers, Stuckmann has kept fans updated on the project's development since its crowdfunding success.

How Gulshan Grover reconnected with son after divorcing wife, almost thrashed him after high-profile Hollywood meeting
Bollywood's 'bad man', Gulshan Grover, appeared on Archana Puran Singh's YouTube channel, where he spoke about his upcoming movie, Heer Express. The film has been produced by Gulshan's son, Sanjay, who worked as a development executive in Hollywood. Gulshan said that he is extremely proud of Sanjay for bringing his experience and expertise to an Indian production, and said that working on the project gave them an opportunity to reconnect. He said that Sanjay grew up away from him, as he'd divorced his mother. Chatting with Archana, Gulshan said that at this stage in his life, all he wants to do is leave a legacy behind for his son, and to see his son succeed. Archana's husband, Parmeet Sethi, asked Gulshan how he wants to be remembered as a person, and Gulshan said, 'I want to see big success, big achievements, but for my son, Sanjay Grover. Sanjay went to study in UCLA, and one day, I had a meeting at the Hollywood studio MGM. Sanjay said that he wanted to accompany me, because he wanted to see all the Oscars that they have in the lobby of their office.' Also read – Rakesh Roshan recalls firing Gulshan Grover from Karan Arjun because of his tardiness: 'He would show up at 4 pm for 11 am shoot' Gulshan said that during the meeting, which was with former MGM co-CEO Mary Parent, Sanjay kept contradicting everything she said. 'Like any Punjabi dad, I felt like taking him out and thrashing him. But, to my surprise, after the meeting, Mary handed him her details and said that a job would be waiting for him once he graduates. I was so proud. I felt like a village idiot,' Gulshan said. Asked why Sanjay gave up his career in Hollywood and moved back to India, Gulshan said, 'I am divorced from his mother, and she lives separately. Any parent would feel like enough is enough, my son has lived outside for so many years, we should live together now. He came, and we worked out an arrangement where he would stay on the top floor of my duplex house, and I would stay on the bottom floor. He was free to enter my space, but I didn't have permission to enter his space.' In an earlier interview with Hindustan Times, Gulshan had spoken about his son's ambition to become an actor. 'His experience of making films in Hollywood as well as watching world cinema – German, French, American, Korean is fabulous. Jitna wo dekhta hai, utna mujhe dekhne me 10 saal lag jaaenge. So his experience and exposure to not just the most talked about projects but also the hidden gems, helps me get a certain kind of vision, which I do not possess,' he said. Gulshan said that he had to 'emotionally blackmail' his son to return to India and try his luck out at acting. Sanjay worked at the Hollywood studio MGM, and recently co-produced director Tarsem Singh's Dear Jassi. Heer Express has been directed by Umesh Shukla, best known for films such as OMG – Oh My God and 102 Not Out.

Dhanashree Verma drops first post after Yuzvendra Chahal confession about divorce, reveals she is spending time in Dubai
Choreographer Dhanashree Verma has finally spoken out, albeit indirectly, after her former husband and cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal's recent podcast appearance, where he opened up about their divorce. In a subtle response, Dhanashree shared a glimpse into her life, revealing she's currently spending time in Dubai. Dhanashree Verma and Yuzvendra Chahal were granted a divorce in March this year.(Instagram) Dhanashree Verma shares pics from Dubai Dhanashree gave a sneak peek into her time out in Dubai on Instagram on Monday. She shared pictures of herself devouring street food like vada pav and pani puri, taking golden hour strolls, and visiting a temple – all while soaking up the laid-back vibe. She added that her trip was high on nostalgia. Sharing the pictures, she wrote, 'Back in Dubai after what feels like a lifetime…Growing up here gave me so many core memories and seeing how much the city has evolved was both surreal and heartwarming. One of the highlights was visiting this beautiful Hindu temple—peaceful, powerful, and a reminder of how far this city has come in embracing culture and community…Grateful for the growth, the roots, and the reconnection." This is her first post after Chahal spoke about their divorce and his decision to wear the Be Your Own Sugar Daddy T-shirt. While she has not responded directly to Chahal's statements, the post hits at inner growth and reconnection. What did Yuzvendra Chahal say Chahal got candid about his personal life and his divorce from Dhanashree Verma when he joined Raj Shamani for a chat on his YouTube channel. "I think when my divorce happened, people alleged me of being a cheater. I have never cheated in my life. I am not that kind of a person. You won't find anyone more loyal than me. I think from my heart for my closed ones, always. I do not demand, I always give. When people don't know anything, but they keep blaming me, so you start thinking (otherwise)," Chahal said. Talking about his decision to wear 'Be Your Own Sugar Daddy' T-Shirt on the day of his final divorce hearing, Chahal said, 'Kyunki saamne se kuch cheez hua tha, aur mera pehle mann nahi tha. Fir saamne se kuch hua toh fir maine kaaha ab sambhaal lo, ab mujhe nahi parwah kisi ki. Maine na kisi ko abuse kra, bus mujhe message dena tha (Something happened from the other side, and I didn't initially intend to respond. But then something happened, and I thought, 'Enough is enough, now I don't care about anyone.' I didn't abuse anyone; I just wanted to convey my message).' Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree's marriage Dhanashree and Chahal got married in a low-key ceremony in Gurugram back in December 2020. The two met during the Covid-19 pandemic when Chahal asked Dhanashree for dance lessons. As per their petition, they separated in June 2022. On February 5, they filed a joint petition before the family court seeking divorce by mutual consent. They were granted a divorce in March this year. At that time, there were also murmurs that Dhanashree was seeking ₹60 crore in alimony. However, Dhanashree's family dismissed the claims by issuing a statement. The statement read, "We are deeply outraged by the baseless claims being circulated about the alimony figure. Let me be absolutely clear—no such amount has ever been asked, demanded, or even offered. There is no truth to these rumours whatsoever. It is deeply irresponsible to publish such unverified information, dragging not just the parties but also their families into unnecessary speculation. Reckless reporting like this only causes harm, and we urge the media to exercise restraint, fact-check before spreading misinformation, and be respectful of everyone's privacy."
