Lakeshore Records has released 
Shelby Oaks Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally today, October 31 with music by James Burkholder (The Forever Purge), with Andy Grush and Taylor Newton Stewart AKA The Newton Brothers (The Life of Chuck). Strings, synths and piano create a boldly dark and dissonant backdrop to the tension filled supernatural horror film. The NEON film directed by Chris Stuckmann and starring Camille Sullivan, Brendan Sexton III, Michael Beach, Robin Bartlett and Keith David, is in theaters now.
A woman’s obsessive search for her missing sister leads her into a terrifying mystery at the hands of an unknown evil.
Note Burkholder: “As a lifelong fan of horror, it was a privilege to play in the sandbox Chris Stuckmann so brilliantly created—Shelby Oaks shows us compassion and chaos, devotion and disaster, and I think the score reflects that.”

ABOUT THE NEWTON BROTHERS
The Newton Brothers, Andy Grush and Taylor Newton Stewart, have cemented themselves as one of the most dynamic and innovative composing duos in film and television today. Known for seamlessly blending traditional orchestration with electronic elements, their music crafts immersive and emotionally resonant scores across genres.
Their latest project, Marvel’s critically acclaimed “X-Men ’97”, revives the beloved 1990s animated series with a fresh perspective while honoring its legacy. With a 100% rating, it stands as Marvel’s highest-rated project and one of 2024’s top-rated shows. Their signature sound enhances the action-packed storytelling, further elevating the X-Men’s long-awaited return.
Continuing their collaboration with Marvel, The Newton Brothers composed the score for the hit series “Daredevil: Born Again”, marking the highly anticipated return of Matt Murdock to the MCU. Their score amplifies the series’ dark, raw, and deeply thematic essence, incorporating elements of choir, organ synths, and orchestration to reflect the show’s religious undertones and high stakes.
They also continue to collaborate with director Mike Flanagan, scoring his next film “The Life of Chuck”, which made its festival premiere at the Toronto Film Festival and will be in theaters in the summer of 2025. Their ability to craft compelling musical narratives was evident in their record-breaking score for “Five Nights at Freddy’s”, the film adaptation of the popular video game. Their haunting composition played a pivotal role in heightening the film’s suspense and terror, contributing to its massive box office success and cultural impact.
On the television front, their score for Netflix’s “The Fall of the House of Usher” earned widespread acclaim, adding emotional depth and psychological tension to Mike Flanagan’s gothic horror masterpiece. The series further solidified their reputation for delivering evocative, story-driven music that enhances both character and atmosphere.
As The Newton Brothers expand their Marvel Universe footprint, their proven versatility and ability to redefine musical storytelling promise a bold and unforgettable auditory experience for Daredevil, the X-Men, and beyond.
