The Vanishings at Caddo Lake is being produced by M. Night Shyalalan. The feature stars Dylan O’Brien, Eliza Scanlen, and Lauren Ambroe, along with Eric Lange, Sam Hennings, and Diana Hopper. The film revolves around an 8-year-old who mysteriously vanishes at Caddo Lake. A series of past deaths and disappearances begin to link together and forever alter a broken family’s history. No release date is currently available. The production will be filming in the area through November 19th.
The Man in the White Van is directed by Warren Skeels and features Brec Bassinger, Madison Wolfe, Skai Jackson, Gavin Wanreen, and Julia Michelle Phares, along with Ali Larter, Sean Austin, and Julianne Arrieta. Set in 1974, the film revolves around an ominous white van that begins stalking a young girl, leading to a terrifying Halloween nightmare. The Man in the White Van has been filming in the area since September 14 and is expected to wrap up production here on October 16. No release date has currently been set for this film either.
