Not everyone's perfect... yet.

This time, they have begun to turn their out of control teens into robots as well. Once they are assimilated, they are obedient, homework loving, big band dancing droids. Laura, David, and Mary stumble onto this mystery, and they must avoid Steven's plans to turn them into robots.

Interesting facts

  • Based on: The Stepford Wives
  • Filmed in: California

The Stepford Children is a 1987 American made-for-television horror science fiction thriller film inspired by the Ira Levin novel The Stepford Wives. It was directed by Alan J. Levi with a screenplay by Bill Bleich and starring Barbara Eden, Don Murray, Tammy Lauren, Randall Batinkoff and Pat Corley. It is the second in a series of sequels inspired by the 1972 novel and the original 1975 film The Stepford Wives.

Production notes

Judith Baldwin had a role in the original 1975 version of The Stepford Wives.

John Cameron Mitchell, who played Kenny, the boy kidnapped on the lake early in the film and then assimilated, would later become famous as the director and star of Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

The robots evolved from the original depiction in the first film, who closely resembled mannequins or the animatronics found at Disneyland. The advanced versions resemble "the Visible Man" toy, and this design was similarly recreated in the 2004 remake of The Stepford Wives.

Like the sequel Revenge of the Stepford Wives, the film was shot in California, as evidenced by "Canyon Road", which is not in Connecticut.
