‘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.

Recently, the Anupamaa actor called on the government to create a National Award category for television regional to YouTube content creators, there are National Awards for everyone, Rupali Ganguly questions, why there's nothing for TV actors.

She told Viral Bhayani, "When a film star works continuously for two days, it makes headlines. But no one talked about how we, the TV artists, worked non-stop from 6 am to 6 pm during the pandemic. I request the government to consider us also. We work very hard. It'll be nice to have some validation."The conversation around her comments gained further attention due to the return of Smriti Irani , former Information & Broadcasting Minister, to her iconic TV role of Tulsi Virani in the reboot of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Ganguly said she hopes Smriti Irani's return to TV will help speed up the process of creating National Awards for TV actors. "It's a big moment for the TV industry.

MrBeast and creators team up as water campaign raises 6 million years of clean water
On August 1, YouTube star MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) and fellow creator Mark Rober launched #TeamWater, a global fundraiser aiming to raise $40 million by August 31. The goal: provide clean water for 2 million people, with $1 giving one person one year of water. At press time, the campaign had already delivered over 6 million years of water service to communities in need. Over 3,000 creators across 84 countries are participating, using their platforms to raise awareness and funds. The funds raised through #TeamWater go primarily to WaterAid, a nonprofit with four decades of experience building long‑term water infrastructure. Projects include solar‑powered wells, rainwater harvesting systems, rain and desalination systems, and gravity‑fed pipelines, all designed with and maintained by local communities to last for decades. Additional charity partners GivePower, DigDeep, and the Alok Foundation help implement projects in places like Kenya, Brazil, Colombia, Malawi, Bangladesh, Ecuador, and the U.S. (including Jackson, Mississippi and rural West Virginia). According to United Nations data, more than 2 billion people lacked safely managed drinking water as of 2022, and by 2040, up to 4.5 billion people could face water scarcity. #TeamWater aims to address this urgent crisis by combining global creator reach with real‑world solutions. Critics of past campaigns like #TeamTrees and #TeamSeas note the need for deeper engagement, but TeamWater partners with WaterAid to focus on community‑rooted planning and maintenance, making change sustainable, not temporary. The campaign builds on MrBeast and Rober's previous successes, #TeamTrees and #TeamSeas, which helped plant 20 million trees and remove over 30 million pounds of ocean trash, raising more than $50 million total. This time, content creators such as Kai Cenat, the Stokes Twins, Dude Perfect, Hank Green, and Gordon Ramsay are producing videos and social media posts to inspire donations from their combined billions of viewers. Even YouTube has pledged $2 million in support. The campaign uses creative and authentic content, from personal stories to water challenges, to engage audiences and convert views into meaningful, longstanding impact.
