Stormy Daniels' Directing Return 'Hysteria' Debuts on Wicked.com

LOS ANGELES—The opening chapter of Hysteria, the return directorial effort from Wicked Pictures contract director and brand ambassador Stormy Daniels, is available now on Wicked.com. 

Produced by four-time AVN Director of the Year Axel Braun, the supernatural thriller stars XRCO Unsung Siren and former Axel Braun Productions contract girl Aiden Ashley along with 2022 AVN Awards Trophy Girl Anna Claire Clouds.

The debut scene involves a tryst between married couple Anna (Ashley), an accomplished author, and Christine (Clouds), an artist.

“This is one of the most beautiful girl/girl scenes I’ve ever shot,” enthused Daniels. “I purposely went for an ethereal feeling to create a striking contrast with the visuals the viewers will encounter later in the story. It certainly helped that I had two of the most flawless and sexiest girls together for the scene ... not to mention two of the most professional and talented actresses I have directed.”

"Working with Stormy was just wonderful," Ashley said. "She is so talented and so passionate about filmmaking. I respect her greatly, and have always looked up to her. Hysteria is her perfect Wicked comeback movie, as it has all the elements of a classic Stormy Daniels feature. I’m excited—I’ve always been drawn to the occult and everything this movie represents. Plus, my sex scene with Anna Claire is super hot ... I hope the fans will enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it!” 

As promotional materials for this inaugural segment elaborate, "Beneath the veneer of domestic bliss portrayed in the scene 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. Is her writer's block due to external factors like her disagreements with her supportive yet demanding literary agent Vicki (Casey 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?"

In addition to Ashley, Clouds and Calvert, Daniels' cast features three-time AVN Best Actor and Gamma contract performer Seth Gamble, Ryan Driller, Charly Summer, Ella Reese, Chris Cock and more.  

Crowned "the most famous pornstar in the world" by GQ, Daniels wrote, directed and starred in some of Wicked's most popular releases during her original 16-year tenure with the company, including Operation Desert Stormy, Wanted, Pretty Dangerous and Unbridled, and collected countless industry accolades, including Best New Starlet (AVN), Mainstream Media Favorite (XRCO) and Best Actress (NightMoves). 

The first episode of Hysteria premieres today exclusively on Wicked.com.
