Samantha Sherwood has worked with the well-known director Jonathan Stryker on all his major films. She naturally assumes she has been given the title role in his latest venture, "Audra". He tells her that she nn needs to do some background research on the part, so arranges to have her committed to an asylum (as Audra is a former psychiatric patient). She goes along with this, not realising that he intends to leave her there indefinitely and audition six young women of various professions for the part instead. She finally manages to escape, and returns to the spooky old mansion where the auditions are taking place. But who is causing the disappearances of the young hopefuls?? Is it Samantha? Stryker? Or is one of the actresses willing to kill for the coveted part?? Just who is the killer behind the old-hag mask??? |

Sleep Better with a High Quality Floral Duvet Cover Set
It is 1 a.m and your still wide awake. Your staring blankly up at the ceiling and wondering, "When will I ever fall asleep"? You look around your bedroom and see clothes thrown across the room. You take a look around and hate the site of the dark colored walls. You get an itch and realize that your comforter each day feels worst and worst. The comforter feels funny and definitely not soft at all. You hate the fact that you do not know what to do with your bedroom. You cannot take it anymore and throw the comforter off the bed. Now you are cold and tired. After hours of tossing and turning in bed, you finally manage to fall asleep but are awaken 4 hours later by the alarm on your clock. Every day is the same routine, you fall asleep early and end up falling asleep pretty late to wake up tired and cranky. The added stress of not knowing what to do with your bedroom has caused you to have a sleeping disorder. If this is your situation, then you are not alone. More then 65 million people in the US alone suffer from Insomnia. Insomnia is a sleeping disorder which is frequently a symptom of ineffective stress management. A sleeping disorder disrupts and disturbs your overall quality of life. Everyone needs to get enough sleep or your body will not function properly. Did you know that lack of sleep can send your blood sugar levels sky rocketing and affect your overall health? It can contribute to weight gain, diabetes and other related conditions. Can you imagine this happening to you? The last thing you need is for something like that to happen, then you will never fall asleep with all that extra weight on your shoulders. WhAt is even more scary is that it can cause you to get into an accident. Which is not a good thing. There are many things you can do to help get those extra winks at night. You can start off first taking a hot bath before going to bed. When you soak in a hot tub, your temperature rises and the rapid cool down period immediately afterward relaxes you. You can also try not drinking any fruit juice to bed, instead drink water. Studys show that it took participants an extra 20 to 30 minutes to fall asleep because of the high sugar content. You should also avoid caffeine. Caffeine has a stimulating effect for up to 6 hours. If this does help then remodeling your bedroom will do the trick.
The bedroom should be the one place that you should feel completely relax. You will not feel relax if you are not satisfied with the overall appearance. Cleaning up the clutter should be the very first thing on your list so it will not distract you when trying to sleep. Afterwords you should paint your walls with only light colors. Try also adding heavy curtains. These curtains will block light from coming in to the room. Next we will go to the bed. The bed should be the main focus. Not only because the bed is the biggest object in the bedroom but also because that is where you are having the most problem sleeping. Good quality bedding should do just the trick. The best quality bedding set is a duvet cover set. Also known as comforter cover set. Duvet cover sets not only protect your comforter but also adds a decorative touch. I always prefer choosing a beautiful floral duvet cover set for my bedroom. Not only does a duvet bedding enhance the look of your bedroom but many can be purchased with a thread count of over 180. It is said that a good quality bed set should always have a thread count of over 180. The higher the number, the better the quality and softness. This is very important if you are having a tough time sleeping when you do not feel comfortable with the feel of the bedding. Duvet covers work two ways, you can either use them alone in the summer for that extra comfort without having to suffocate and feel uncomfortable. It is always best to buy cotton duvet comforter covers because they are more breathable and machine washable. It being machine washable will maintain your comforter duvet cover clean and fresh. The more you wash your cover the softer it will feel. Comforter covers are also great for the winter because you can insert a comforter or duvet and you will get that extra warmth that is needed for those chilly nights. Always remember to choose the correct size. If you have a queen bed then you will have to purchase a Queen Duvet Cover Set. Many people that have a full size bed purchase a queen duvet cover. There is no problem with doing this. Just make sure the duvet cover is no more then two inches larger then the comforter that is placed inside. Make sure to pay attention to the measurements.
Having this beautiful bedding ensemble will make you feel happy and pleased with the look of your room. I guarantee you that you will not regret it. Not only will your room look great, you will feel great also and this will definitely help you sleep like a baby. Good luck.
