What happened to Riley Brennan?? Does anyone know anything?? Neon has quietly revealed a sneaky viral website for the horror thriller film titled Shelby Oaks, made by former YouTube critic turned filmmaker Chris Stuckmann as his feature directorial debut. The film premiered at the 2024 Fantasia Film Festival last year, and also played at FrightFest – opening in theaters in early October coming up (watch the trailer). Shelby Oaks follows a woman’s desperate search for her long-lost sister falls into obsession upon realizing that the imaginary demon from their childhood may have been real. As Mia uncovers new & 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. This stars Michael Beach, Keith David, Sarah Durn, Brendan Sexton III, Camille Sullivan. This viral website is eerie and strangely empty and doesn’t contain anything (for now) aside from a one-minute video featuring various clips of security footage. It’s a reminder that perhaps hidden somewhere in this footage might be more clues as to what happened to Riley Brennan and where she went/is now. Maybe there’s even more hidden around this site somewhere? Click around & do some digging.

From Fantasia: “Who took Riley Brennan? That’s the question asked by millions of devoted, even obsessed fans of the popular YouTube series Paranormal Paranoids, which ceased production when Brennan and her three co-hosts disappeared near the deserted town of Shelby Oaks, Ohio in 2008. Conspiracy theories have run rampant over the years, but none are more determined to get to the truth than Riley’s sister, Mia (Camille Sullivan), who has finally agreed to telling Riley’s story to a documentary film crew (Emily Bennett and Rob Grant) in the hopes of finding closure. Closure, however, refuses to be found as a series of shocking events opens the door to a deeper mystery surrounding Riley, one that leads Mia to follow her ghost-hunting sister’s footsteps down a path to confront demons of the past for answers that can only be found somewhere within the darkness of Shelby Oaks… Stuckmann is finally here and ready to scare the pants off audiences…”
Shelby Oaks is written and directed by indie filmmaker Chris Stuckmann, making his feature directorial debut after making many short films and running a very popular YouTube movie review channel. From a story by Chris Stuckmann and Sam Liz. Produced by Cameron Burns, Aaron B. Koontz, Ashleigh Snead. This initially premiered at the 2024 Fantasia Film Festival last year. Neon will debut Stuckmann’s Shelby Oaks horror film in select US theaters starting on October 3rd, 2025 this fall. Want to watch? Looking scary?
