A brief summary of all the scenes missing from the 93.5 minute version which were present in the 97 minute prints follows.

2) In Quentin's flashback in the tower, Charles and Angelique's kiss is more explicit. Angelique throws her head back and laughs mockingly as Charles kisses her neck and the unseen Gabriel hammers angrily at the door. GABRIEL: I know she's in there now open the door !(this is also present in the short version, but I have retained it to give the next line context) CHARLES: For more of your dreary moralizing ? You try my patient brother. GABRIEL(pounding, furious): For the last time - open the door !

Backtracking even further back to Scene 85, I've "recreated" Angelique and Charles in the Tower room and Gabriel interrupting them using audio from the reel-to-reel tape of the 97 minute release version of the sequence along with screen caps to fill in for where the missing footage of Charles and Angelique's more explicit making out would be. Again, it's not perfect, but I'm happy with it.
First up. as per the Laser Disc, this is what the 94 minute version of the film should be like:
But this is what the DVD/Blu-ray release is like:
And here it is with the full audio from the 97 minute version of the film, featuring more banging, a last giggle from Angelique, and an additional line from Gabriel (sadly, you can't hear the more explicit footage of Charles and Angelique making out ):

Prolly more along the lines of what Mark Perry is/was attempting to do with his interpretation a la DS Next Generation rather than what DC ultimately did only 3 years later ... a big budget retelling of the original DS.
P.S. The cover art is pretty cool ... It's a drawn reinterpretation of the House of Dark Shadows movie poster.
The men pound on the door and Lang holds the gun on the closed doors. Julia gets a busy signal from the Collinsport police, and dials the operator, asking frantically for an emergency number for the cops.[/spoiler]
