Chelsea Stardust is taking the reins on “an ‘After Hours’-esque horror comedy with a dash of gore.” Deadline reports Stardust will helm “Satanic Panic” for growing media company/resurrected genre magazine Fangoria.
Written by Grady Hendrix (“Mohawk”), “Satanic Panic” follows “a pizza delivery girl at the end of her financial rope who has to fight for her life — and her tips — when her last order of the night turns out to be high society Satanists in need of a virgin sacrifice.”
“Our movie screams for a female director’s vision, and we had a blast getting to know several truly talented candidates,” said Dallas Sonnier of Cinestate, the entertainment company that bought Fangoria. “With Chelsea at the helm, I feel strongly that we have a future horror comedy classic on our hands that will be celebrated by Fangoria audiences who crave wickedly entertaining, boundary-pushing movies.”
“Satanic Panic” is currently casting, and principal photography is expected to kick off October in Texas.
Stardust wrapped production on her feature debut, “All That We Destroy,” earlier this year. Her second film, wedding horror-satire “Seeing Green” is also in post-production. Stardust previously helmed several short films and the stage musical “Slashed!”
