 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Daughters of Satan is an American B-Movie filmed—and, rarely, actually set—in the Philippines around the early 1970s, coming out in 1972. A campy, over-the-top, Gothic Horror Exploitation Film, it's primarily known for being the vehicle of a then-unknown Tom Selleck (his iconic moustache already making an appearance however). It also stars several veterans of Filipino cinema, for instance, Paraluman, a locally famous mestiza (mixed-race) leading lady from The '50s.Tom Selleck stars as art collector James "Jim" Robertson, on assignment in Manila to complete a collection for his employers in New York, when he stumbles upon a strange painting of a witch-burning, whose central model bears an eerie resemblance to his wife Chris (Barra Grant). Thinking it would make for an interesting conversation piece, he buys it, but understandably she's freaked out. Then Doppelgangers of the other represented characters show up in quick succession: a housekeeper applies to their home who resembles one of the other witches in the painting, then a black dog arrives who's also represented in it, and then Jim's psychiatrist friend turns out to have a patient who resembles the third witch. And all that's just the beginning of all the strangeness …Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The movie can be found here, for free, online.

 Burn the Witch!: The subject of the Creepy Changing Painting that Jim buys for Chris. It depicts three witches being burned at the stake (in rather stereotypical fashion) in front of the San Agustin Church in Intramuros, Manila. Chris remarkably knows about the exact event it's portraying: the burning of the Duarte Coven in Intramuros in 1592 (interestingly, exactly a century before the Salem witch trials).

 Ambiguously Christian: Chris is said to be a devout Catholic, Jim claims she hears "mass every day" (his exact words), but in this famous bastion of Catholicism in Asia, she's never seen even once in a church, and not even a home altar is shown in the house she and Jim live in (a common feature of houses built in the Philippines, even until today in many cases). About the only concession she actually makes to the religion is her sometimes wearing a metal crucifix. It seems the description is just set-up for contrast when she's lured away by Juana and Kitty to (re)join their coven; her Catholic obeisance really only comes out when she's suddenly reluctant when forced to spit on another crucifix.

 Cool Car: Jim drives a red-hot (and literally red) hotrod, and a top-down one too. The camera follows it for much of the opening credits.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
