Plot summary
Melody, Marci and Mickey are the socially awkward sisters of their sorority. Melody has buck teeth, Marci wears glasses, and Mickey is chubby. Wanting a night of fun, the three invite three fraternity pledges who are as nerdy as they are to a party. The evening falls flat and the guests are about to leave. To liven the party, the girls hold a séance, and the cursed crystal ball they use leaves all three possessed by a succubus, lustful and uninhibited.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Nightmare Sisters (1988)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Nightmare Sisters was shot over four days in September 1987 for about $40,000, using left-over film, cast and crew from the just-finished Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama.
- The distributor abruptly went out of business, so fewer than 2,000 copies of the tape were ever distributed, and Nightmare Sisters became an instant obscurity.
- For a censored early-1990s airing on USA Network's USA Up All Night, the girls' shared bath scene was cut and replaced with newly shot footage of the actresses in lingerie jumping on a bed and bouncing balloons.
- Over the following decade, word of mouth about the bathtub scene, the rising popularity of its three actresses and the film's scarcity gave Nightmare Sisters a cult reputation.
- Nightmare Sisters is one of only two films in which 1980s scream queens Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer appear together, excluding later reunion films such as 1313: Cougar Cult.
- The film was shot inside the producer's rented home, dressed mainly with different colored lighting and walls covered in posters.
- Los Angeles punk/metal band Haunted Garage, whose frontman Dukey Flyswatter plays Omar in the film, recorded songs including "Sorority Sister Succubus" and "Brain in a Jar"; a later recording of "Brain in a Jar" appeared on the band's 1991 CD Possession Park.
