Curtains is a 1983 Canadian horror film that was directed by
Richard Ciupka (who went under the alias Johnathan Stryker, who
is one of the main characters in the film). The film starred
John Vernon (ANIMAL HOUSE), Samantha Eggar (THE BROOD), Lynne
Griffin (BLACK CHRISTMAS), Lesleh Donaldson (HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO
ME), Linda Thorson (TV'S THE AVENGERS), and Michael Wincott (THE
CROW).      The film is about a famous horror director,
Johnathan Stryker (Vernon), who is casting for the title role in
his new film 'Audra'. Samantha Sherwood (Eggar) is determined
for the role of Audra, and will even put herself in a mental
institution for it, for research for her role. Stryker leaves
Sherwood at the institution and decides to hold a casting
session at his home, with 6 actresses for the role (Thorson,
Griffin, Donaldson, Sandee Currie from TERROR TRAIN, Anne
Ditchburn and Deborah Burgess). Sherwood flees from the
institution, and wants revenge on Stryker, and to show him that
he is wrong about not casting her as Audra. B
