Is the behind-the-scenes story of Chris Stuckmann’s long-awaited horror film, Shelby Oaks, actually scarier than the movie itself? That’s what Chris and Jess are diving into this week!

After years of production delays, viral Kickstarter buzz, and wild fan theories, Shelby Oaks has finally arrived — backed by Mike Flanagan and packed with mystery, trauma, and found-footage chills. But does the film live up to the hype?

In this episode, we break down:
The film’s eerie story and its mix of mockumentary and traditional horror styles
What worked — atmosphere, visuals, and a strong emotional core
What didn’t — pacing, some familiar beats, and overuse of found footage
The real-life horror story behind the making of the movie
Plus, Chris dives into the idea of “friendworking” instead of networking — how real relationships in filmmaking led to Shelby Oaks connecting with Mike Flanagan and Paper Street Pictures

Stick around to hear Chris and Jess debate whether Shelby Oaks is a bold indie horror success or a cautionary tale about the pressures of passion projects.
