Wicked Wraps Stormy Daniels Directorial Comeback 'Hysteria'

LOS ANGELES — Wicked Pictures has wrapped production on erotic paranormal thriller "Hysteria," the directorial comeback for Stormy Daniels.

Headlined by Aiden Ashey, the cast includes Casey Calvert, Anna Claire Clouds, Ryan Driller, Seth Gamble and Charly Summer, among others.

"I have to admit I was nervous. It’s been four years since I last directed a feature," Daniels said. "So I went into this thinking, ‘I’ll ease myself in with a little two-day shoot.’ But once I was reunited with my crew, it was like we hadn’t missed a beat. I have the best crew; they are all incredibly gifted. As shooting progressed, we began adding more creative elements to the production. In true Stormy Daniels fashion, I found myself doing everything the hard way!"

Daniels also pulled in collaborators from her mainstream paranormal investigation series, "Spooky Babes."

“Our theme song is the original track 'Hysteria' by Deadsled Funeral Co. which is fronted by my 'Spooky Babes' costar Justin Loupe. He also knocked it out of the park as my special FX makeup artist by transforming Anna Claire into the scariest sexy monster I’ve seen."

“I was excited to work with some of the new talent,” Daniels continued. “Which is why my cast is a blend of newer stars and veterans. Seth, of course, needs no introduction; he’s the best male actor in the industry, and I knew I wanted to work with Aiden again. She was brilliant and 100% authentic. And Anna Claire is, seriously, my favorite new actress. My crew had some new members as well, including the amazing James Avalon, with whom I’d never worked despite all my years in the business. It was a wonderful experience and his camerawork looks terrific."

"Hysteria" follows the story of Anna (Ashley), an accomplished author, and Christine (Clouds), an artist. On the surface, noted a rep, this loving couple’s marriage appears to be harmonious and beautiful. But beneath this veneer of domestic bliss lurks an undercurrent of mistrust that threatens to consume their relationship.

"For Anna, the pressure to deliver a new book to her publisher is compounded by the roadblocks she's encountering on her writing journey," the rep said. "Is her writer's block due to external factors like her disagreements with her supportive-yet-demanding literary agent Vicki (Calvert)? Or is her creative lull a manifestation of internal conflicts, self-doubt and creative exhaustion? Or is the root cause something more otherworldly? Do the strange sounds she hears late at night have a rational explanation or are they cryptic messages from the other side?"

Wicked Head of Production Axel Braun described Daniels as "so creative and such a consummate professional."

"There was no doubt in my mind that she would turn in a great feature," he said. "She runs a tight ship and always treats her cast and crew with the utmost respect, which is why they are more than happy to give 110% to her projects. The atmosphere on the 'Hysteria' set was really amazing, everybody was just elated to have her back and did their best to help her fulfill her vision for this awesome movie."

"As she’s proved over and over again, Stormy is an inspired writer, a massively talented director and literally a force to be reckoned with," he added. "I am just immensely proud of her and thrilled to have her back where she belongs, with the Wicked family."
