And now I'm also going to share the novelization's version of the beginning of Scene 79 because it also contains material not in the original draft or in DC's script:
It's interesting that stuff is added but there's also stuff missing. There's no repeat of the fact that not only was Nancy Hodiak strangled, but she was bitten like Daphne. Though quite frankly, had the Nancy Hodiak sequence actually been in the film, we certainly wouldn't have needed to hear that detail repeatedly driven into our heads in multiple scenes...
Todd still found it hard to accept the news, especially after Seth told him all the police had discovered. He went on in to the somewhat dimly lighted dining room of the Collinsport Inn and sat beside Carolyn on the banquette against the wall to tell her the tragic news. Carolyn stared at him. "Nancy Hodiak!" "Yes," he said. "What do you think of that?" "You're sure it's true?" "Yes," Todd said. "Maggie and Jeff found her. Finish your drink and I'll take you home." "How awful!" "I know," Todd agreed. "Poor Maggie!" she said. Then she started to rise, but suddenly stopped, staring at the corner banquette. |
