Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFilmed over four days. Brinke Stevens said that when David DeCoteau asked her to work on the film for four days, she had no idea he meant the entire movie would be shot in that time. They worked almost 12 hours a day to get it done. David DeCoteau said the only way they were able to get it made in that timeframe is because Stevens, Linnea Quigley, and Michelle Bauer were the most professional actresses he ever worked with. Quigley said she and the other two actresses had all their lines down and got most scenes in one take.
- Alternate versionsThere is a alternate television version that is shown on The USA Network that is edited for language with all nude scenes cut. It also adds additional scenes shot for television that replace the deleted nude scenes including:
- An alternate transformation sequence of the three girls wearing lingerié replacing the nude transformation scene.
- An alternate pie eating sequence with the girls in lingerié.
- A completely new scene of the three girls in lingerié jumping up and down on a bed in the bedroom. They are playing with balloons and blowing bubbles (to match up with the audio soundtrack). This replaces the nude bubble bath sequence.
- A less explicit demon sex scene with Michele Bauer in her jungle outfit.
- Also has a completely re-shot sequence when Linnea Quigley sings Hollywood Boulevard Boys, replaces the original which has some nudity.

Harmless fun, and a must see for Quigley/Stevens/Bauer/DeCoteau fans
"Nightmare Sisters" is a harmless, enjoyable b-movie which is more sex comedy than horror. I don't think it's even intended to be scary, and there is very little violence, but a lot of nudity and humour.
The movie gets off to a shaky start with an obviously Caucasian man playing an Indian fortune teller, and doing the worst Indian accent since Peter Sellers. Why would a fortune teller be Indian, anyway? Somehow the crystal ball gets possessed, and then finds its way into the hands of three dorky sorority sisters.
These three are played by the holy trinity of b-movie scream queens, Linnea Quigley, Michelle Bauer and Brinke Stevens. They begin the movie as stereotypically unattractive college co-eds. Brinke has borrowed Jeffrey Dahmer's glasses, Michelle Bauer is dressed up to look fat, and Linnea Quigley is wearing false buck teeth which actually only accentuate her beauty. Detractors might claim that we're only fans of Quigley, Stevens and Bauer because they're hot and get naked. This movie, along with most of their movies, showcases the charisma and talent they actually brought to the screen. Their portrayals here are funny and likable.
Their nerdy male counterparts come over for a party and the girls are possessed when they use the crystal ball in a séance (don't seances require Ouija boards?) At first the girls turn sexy - and semi naked - but then they get a touch demonic, and a hilarious exorcist arrives to save the day.
David DeCoteau seems to me to be a rarity among b-film makers. Going by any of his recent efforts, a strong case could be made that he is the worst filmmaker who ever lived. However, watching his '80s films like this one, one realises that he actually had some degree of know-how when he started out. I mean, obviously this isn't Citizen Kane, but it's actually pretty good. Now, his movies are just excuses to indulge in his tighty whitie fetish. Who keeps paying him to make movies? Who keeps watching them?
