In 2022‚ writer-director Chris Stuckmann ran a successful Kickstarter for his debut horror feature‚ Shelby Oaks. The movie‚ which raised $1.39 million in its campaign‚ is now in post-production‚ and Stuckmann along with his partner Aaron B. Koontz at Paper Street Pictures‚ have brought Mike Flanagan and his producing partners Trevor Macy and Melinda Nishioka at Intrepid Pictures on as executive producers.
Flanagan‚ of course‚ is the mind behind several horror films and series‚ including Doctor Sleep‚ Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House and The Fall of the House of Usher (pictured above)‚ and also an upcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower.
Here’s the official synopsis of Shelby Oaks‚ per the Kickstarter:
Shot as a traditional feature‚ but with some elements of found footage‚ Shelby Oaks is a horror film about missing paranormal investigators (the paranormal paranoids)‚ 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.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.
“It’s been inspiring to watch Chris working toward his dreams over the past few years‚ and the tenacity and DIY spirit he displayed while bringing Shelby Oaks to life reminded me so much of my own journey over a decade ago‚” Flanagan said in a statement to Deadline. “It’s been an honor to walk a few steps with him on his path‚ and to offer support for Chris’ vision for his ambitious‚ unique movie. I can’t wait to see where he goes from here.”
The cast of Shelby Oaks includes Camille Sullivan as Mia‚ Sarah Durn as Riley‚ as well as Brendan Sexton III‚ Michael Beach‚ Robin Bartlett‚ and Keith David. In addition to Flanagan‚ Macy‚ and Nishioka‚ it’s also executive produced by Adam F. Goldberg‚ Paul Holbrook‚ Sean E. DeMott‚ and Tony Killough.
