YouTube content creator and movie critic Chris Stuckmann has been working on a horror feature titled Shelby Oaks for some time now, following a 2022 Kickstarter campaign that raised $1.39M in under a month. Now, The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass (among other shows and movies) filmmaker Mike Flanagan is backing the project as work on it continues.
In a shocking turn of events, it was revealed a while back the movie would be based on the viral Paranormal Paranoids series uploaded to YouTube a few years back. The videos followed a group of paranormal investigators and focused on the character of Riley, who ominously disappeared in one of the last videos.
Though plenty of fan theories have been floating around regarding the authorship of the video series, all signs are now pointing to Stuckmann being directly or indirectly involved. If so, this would be quite the master movie. It will follow Mia (Camille Sullivan) as she searches for her sister Riley (Sarah Durn), the star of the unnerving videos. “As Mia’s obsession grows, she begins to suspect that the imaginary demon from Riley’s childhood might have been real,” the synopsis adds. The movie is said to mix the traditional and mockumentary film styles.
