    So great.....my only comment ever!!!!!!!!!

    I have never gotten the desire to comment about a movie on these boards. If you are reading this, then behold you are indeed a part of a small piece of history. This will be the only comment about a movie I will ever make in my lifetime, on IMDb. If you are looking for a serious movie, keep moving! If you are looking for a movie that will lift your spirits...and have a wonderful time over and over again, look no further. Nightmare Sisters is the ultimate BMovie classic that captures teen antics, cheesy demons, and that 80's feel to perfection. I saw this movie when I was in my early teens, and had never forgotten about it. So much that I paid a great deal online just to have it on VHS. Thank god the movie is now on DVD. Seriously if you made it this far....take my word...this is the movie you've been looking for. Bmovie fans....don't miss out....and I bid you farewell.....

    An Eye Candy classic

    This indie film by the auteur DeCoteau is the single greatest influence for the creation of the Eye Candy Hall of Fame. The cast boasts of three members of the All-Century team: the ever-so-lovely Brinke Stevens, the majestic beauty of Michelle Bauer, and the sultry Linnea Quigley. Each of our extremely fabulous leading ladies give such a high-caliber performance that it sets the standards by how we at the academy judge our potential members. As actors, they strip down to the basics and bare their natural talents unlike any other ensemble in the history of cinema. Memorable performances are the seance-transformation scene, the kitchen scene, and the bathtub scene. The auteur DeCoteau has created a masterpiece that will simply blow you away.

    Exceeded every expectation I had.

    I waited 31 years to watch this but say it's better late than never. This was way better than I was expecting and I find it shocking that according to the IMDB trivia it was shot in only four days. The cast seemed very prepared and lucid in their characters. The writing and comedy was a better delivery than I was expecting. and the scene where our famous beloved Scream Queens transform, was everything and more than what I wanted it to be. It was a delight to watch and lives up to the hype. Linnea, Brinke, and Michelle were very funny in these characters and their transformation was quite cool and clever. If you are a fan of these ladies and for some reason put this movie off for as long as I did, I caught the full film on youtube and was not disappointed. I only wanted to kick myself for waiting a lifetime before watching. It surprised me how well made it was, and fun. I expected a no budget grainy mess but was instead shocked to find how cohesive and prepared the whole thing was. Well done to DeCoteau, and it is an absolute pleasure to see Linnea Brinke and Michelle in this classic amusing 3some. They should have done way more movies together. Lives up to the hype. <3

    Three in a Tub....Oh Yeah!

    Nightmare Sisters (1988)

    ** 1/2 (out of 4)

    Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer play ugly sorority sisters who are bored one night so they invite over three nerdy guys. As the lame party is winding down they decide to have a séance, which turns the three girls into real beauties looking for sex but they've also become deadly.

    NIGHTMARE SISTERS is exactly the type of gold teenage males were hoping for back in the VHS boom days. If you're looking for high art or something that was nominated for an Oscar then you're going to be extremely disappointed. If you're wanting some cheap trashy fun with three beautiful women getting naked then you've come to the right movie.

    The Scream Queen legends are in high form here as all three are extremely good in their roles. I thought they were each hilarious early on when we see them in their alternative looks. Quigley steals the film as a buck-tooth nerd. Stevens plays the nerd with big glasses and Bauer is the obese one. All of them are clearly having fun here but they get even better once they turn into the sexual goddesses. Yes, all three are naked throughout including a very memorable sequence where they're in the tub together.

    Director David DeCoteau is obviously having a lot of fun with the material and for the most part this is a complete winner. The thing eventually runs out of gas during the final portion of the picture but this is still one of the better titles to come out of the 80s. Fans of the three Scream Queens will certainly want to check this one out.

    Straight to Video Horror Heaven

    Nightmare Sisters is a lesser known horror title from David De Coteau who's mostly been known for his homoerotic horror films from the last decade. In this, he gives scream queens Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens, and Michelle Bauer some of their most interesting roles to date.

    They play three pathetically dorky girls who summon an evil spirit during a seance and turn into sexy sirens who seduce and murder several dumb jocks. It's a really simple premise executed as well as can be expected with the limited resources available.

    • Trivia
      Brinke Stevens provided her own dominatrix outfit.
    • Goofs
      During the exorcism scene, the drawing on the floor is not a pentagram, but instead a star of David.
    • Alternate versions
      There 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.
