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.

Chris and Jess review the new horror film Good Boy — a movie told almost entirely from the POV of a dog, with low shots and a mysterious perspective that keeps the owner mostly hidden.

When the pair move into the owner's late grandfather’s house, strange and terrifying events begin to unfold. But is this unique approach genius filmmaking or just a gimmick?

In this episode of The Horror Comedy Hangout, we break down the story, talk about what works and what doesn’t, and explore how the film cleverly uses the Kuleshov effect to create tension. If you’re curious about dog POV horror, indie horror filmmaking techniques, and whether Good Boy is worth watching, this review is for you.
