Filming for Shelby Oaks began on May 9, 2022, and was shot at various locations across the state of Ohio. Post-production for the film ended up being suspended in 2023 due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, however, the film was finally finished in January of this year.

The film bolsters some impressive crew members such as horror aficionado Mike Flanagan who signed on as an executive producer.

Fans of Chris Stuckmann are ecstatic to see the success of Shelby Oaks. After years and years of producing content revolved around watching movies, he finally would be making one his own.

One supporter in the comments of his announcement video said “It’s so weird saying this but seeing Chris go from his “hilariocity reviews” to making a movie produced by Mike Flanagan and being picked up by a big distributor makes me feel like a dad seeing his son succeed in life. I’m proud of you Chris and I’m glad you’re dream is coming true.” Much of the rest of the comment section expressed the same sentiment.
