Christine and Betty (Ann and Vicki Michelle, who are real-life sisters; Elke Sommer was their au pair as they grew up) are runaways who want to be models. Christine is soon hired by an agent, Sybil Waite (Patricia Haines) but as you can tell, this isn’t a movie about modeling. It’s about the occult and the job in the country Christine gets is all about getting her in the coven of Gerald Amberley (Neil Hallett) and into his bed; both happen and she soon learns that she can control white magic or magick if you wear Stevie Nicks garb. Sybil is down with darker magic and wants to control Betty.

There’s also this guy named Johnny (Keith Buckley) who wants to help Betty escape, but he also wants to deflower her because, you know, guys.

This was filmed at the Admiral’s Walk in Pirbright, the same place where Terror and Satan’s Slave was shot. Director Ray Austin started as a stunt man on movies like North by Northwest and Operation Petticoat; working with Chee Soo on The Avengers, he helped Diana Rigg be the first Western actor to do kung fu. He was married to Yasuko Nagazumi and the stepfather of her daughter Miki Berenyi from the band Lush. He also directed The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E. and The Return of the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman.

Writer Hazel Adair created the soap opera Crossroads but didn’t make this movie under her own name. Along with wrestling announcer Kent Walton, they created Pyramid Films. She became Klaus Vogel and he was Ralph Solomons; they also made Clinic Exclusive, Can You Keep It Up for a Week?, Keep It Up Downstairs and Game for Vultures.

Ann Michele went on to be in Psychomania, House of Whipcord and Young Lady Chatterley, while her sister Vicki acted in Queen Kong, The Sentinel, the TV show ‘Allo, ‘Allo and The Greek Tycoon. Supposedly, Anthony Quinn “personally asked the producers to reduce the size of Michelle’s part thinking that her good looks and bright costume would detract the audience’s attention from him.” They have both spoken badly of their experiences on this movie, saying that they were hardly paid and pressured into more nude scenes than they had agreed to.
