There's one thing that I have always wondered about the early drafts of HODS. Was the heroine always Maggie? Was the heroine ever Victoria Winters?
FADE IN: 1 EXT: COLLINWOOD - NIGHT 1 LONG LENS SHOT of the somber, EEIRE CASTLE as the rain pours down. Lights show from the lower windows. FADE IN EEIRE THEME MUSIC. The house is suddenly illuminated by a violent flash of lightning. At the same time we hear LOUD MENACING THUNDER. The CAMERA STARTS TO MOVE IN on the great house heading for one lit room on the second floor. There is a second flash of lightning and we up MAIN TITLES. DARK SHADOWS Credits continue over the following: When the CAMERA is TIGHT on the window, we see a bedroom, and though one light burns, it is deserted. 2 INT: MAGGIE'S ROOM - NIGHT 2 The CAMERA MOVES THROUGH the window into the pleasantly furnished bedroom. The room is not lavish, but a cut above the cook's or the maid's room. On the bed lies a note. We ZOOM IN on the note and see the red inked childish scrawl: "It's all your fault. You'll be sorry." O.S. we hear the sound of a DOOR OPENING. The CAMERA PANS UP to MAGGIE EVANS in the doorway. She is young, pretty, plainly dressed, as befits a governess. She looks around the room, angry, concerned. MAGGIE David? She frowns, then sees the note on the bed. She rushes to it, picks it up, reads it. There is a LOUD CLAP OF THUNDER, A FLASH OF LIGHTNING. The light in the room goes out. Maggie moves to a table, lights a candelabra, and turns, the note in one hand, the candles in the other. She runs from the room. 3 INT: SECOND FLOOR CORRIDOR - NIGHT 3 LOW ANGLE Maggie closes the door to her room, starts down the long 3 CONTD CONTD 3 hall. CAMERA, TRUCKING BACK in front of her. In the flickering candlelight, we can see the disapproving faces of the Collins' family portraits. She passes four doors, opens the fifth. MAGGIE David? 4 INT: SECOND FLOOR CORRIDOR - NIGHT 4 CAMERA FRAMES the bed in the f.g. as Maggie looks into the dark room. A flash of lightning illuminates her. She hesitates, walks into the room. It is a boy's room--a boy of about twelve. There are pennants, posters, a bow and arrow, records, etc. Maggie goes to the closet, opens the door, looks in. No one is there. She goes to the door, leans against the closet, thinking. CUT to BLACK. Actually this in int. dark storage room. 5 INT: STORAGE ROOM - NIGHT - BLACKNESS 5 Flash of lightning illuminates the room. We see it crammed with trunks, statuary, dress form, old furniture. There is another flash of lightning. Then it is black again. There is the SOUND OF A DOOR OPENING as the light from Maggie's candelabra illuminates the room. Maggie ENTERS THE SHOT. MAGGIE Please, David! If you're hiding here-- There is a LOUD CLASP OF THUNDER. 6 INT: UNUSED PARLOR - NIGHT 6 The formal Victorian parlor in the unused West Wing. The furniture is all covered with sheets. The chandelier is wrapped in sheeting, The effect is of a ghost room. Heavy draperies hang at the windows. The lightning flashes. Maggie enters through the great oak doors. A little frightened now, she looks around the room. 7 MAGGIE'S POV - THE ROOM 7 CAMERA PANS THE ROOM, STOPS SUDDENLY, when one of the heavy drapes moves. ZOOM IN. 8 MAGGIE - EXTREME CLOSEUP 8 MAGGIE David Collins, I have had enough of this! CAMERA TRUCKS BACK AND PANS HER to the drapery, she pulls it back. No one is there. But there is a flash of lightning, and we see that one of the glass panes is missing. She stares down at the broken pane. Her anger has turned to a kind of desperate concern: Where is the child? |
9 INT: STAIRCASE TO TOWER ROOM - NIGHT 9 A shaft of light can be seen as the door opens. Maggie, holding a flashlight, looks up the stairs. She hears a sound. |
There is more thunder and lightning. She starts slowly up the stairs. CAMERA HOLDS HER in TIGHT SHOT, TRUCK- ING IN FRONT OF HER. She enters the tower room. A flash of lightning illuminates her face and startles her. There is a DEAFENING ROAR OF THUNDER. Maggie shines her flashlight around the room. 10 INT: TOWER ROOM - MAGGIE'S P.O.V. 10 CAMERA SLOWLY PANS with her flashlight. We see piled up books, old furniture, strange shapes and shadows. MAGGIE - CLOSE UP A look of exasperation on her face. She turns to leave. |
