Maybe I’m telling on myself, but I love zoning out on TikTok, watching people with more skills than I remodel an old house that definitely has a few ghosts lurking inside. And it seems that writers and directors Justin Shilton and Rob Zazzali have a similar pastime, at least according to their new film, Sleep Stalker.

In the new film:

An influencer couple buys an old home to remodel for their DIY social media channel, but when the husband’s sleepwalking turns violent, they’re forced to investigate his psychological past and the home’s dark history.

Watch the trailer exclusively on Dread Central:

Josh Gilmer, Gabrielle Montes de Oca, Terryn Westbrook, Brian Guest, John Griffin, Alexandra Johnston, and Yvans Jourdain star in the new found footage film.

Sleep Stalker comes to digital and VOD on August 5, 2025, from Alliance Entertainment.

Destination America has two new shows heading our way later this month, and if you're a monster aficionado, you'll want to mark your calendar accordingly. Read on for the details!

From the Press Release:

Across the American wilderness, millions of acres of uncharted swamplands and underground lairs are rumored to be inhabited by unidentified monsters. Generations of speculation have piqued the curiosity of nearby communities and monster enthusiasts alike, but none have come close to solving the mystery of what these elusive creatures are… until now.

Destination America hunts for the truth in the new three-part series "Swamp Monsters," premiering Friday, August 22nd, at 9/8c, followed by back-to-back premiere episodes of the new six-part series "Monsters Underground" at 10/9c and 10:30/9:30c.

First, deep in the heart of Louisiana’s bayou, upwards of 100 people go missing each year, and if you ask locals, many will say "Swamp Monsters" got ‘em.

CMT on Tuesday officially announced new makeover series Trick My Trucker, a spinoff of the network's Trick My Truck that will be hosted by Bob Guiney, previously of ABC's The Bachelor.

The six-episode series debuts at 9 p.m. Nov. 10. Each half-hour episode will feature two out-of-shape truck drivers who are confronted about their unhealthy habits on the road. With the help of celebrity stylist Harmonie Krieger and trainer Aaron Aguilera, they'll learn nutritional eating habits and exercise routines they can do at truck stops and rest areas.

Their progress will be tracked over several weeks, after which they will reveal their "improved selves" to family and friends. Guiney and his team will determine which driver has most committed to their lifestyle makeover and reward the winner with fuel money for their rigs.

Trucker is produced by Varuna Entertainment, with Jason Morgan and Rob Zazzali executive producing. CMT's Bob Kusbit and Melanie Moreau also exec produce.

Guiney was both a contestant and star on ABC's Bachelorette/Bachelor reality franchise.
