Before we can set up the current scene in the slideshow we need to deal with Scene 95:
Obviously the scene doesn't appear in the slideshow because there is no dialogue.
And when it comes to any differences with the the directions and descriptions, there are several because the scene doesn't begin with a tight shot of Carolyn's dress laid out on her bed, nor do we see Carolyn actually come from her bathroom (see a bathroom with the original cast - NEVER!) because the scene begins with Carolyn coming from -
- near her window and walking over to her bed to examine the dress -
- and smooth it out - but when she hears a noise that sounds like the latch on one of the windows (not the sound of a bat), she turns to see the silhouette of a figure -
- (not a bat, nor does she gasp, nor does the nonexistant bat disappear) in her window - and she screams and moves to try -
- to get away, but she soon stops in her tracks without making another sound -
- and when the figure emerges from the shadows, it turns out to be Barnabas -
- who then moves closer to Carolyn and stares -
- at her, and she back at -
- him as the intercutting of eyes in the script goes back and forth until Barnabas does indeed bare his fangs but doesn't so much bend to bite her as swoops to bite her as she seemingly falls back onto the bed.
And the interesting things about the attack is that some people seem to love the way it's shot, while others think it's far too honky. I guess I come down somewhere in the middle because I sort of like it but I can see why others may not. Though I've often wondered what Frid thought of it because it was different from the way they mostly insisted Barnabas attack his victims on the daytime show - and as we all know, Frid hated how they made Barnabas do it there. But here's an animated gif of the sequence [spoiler]
For people with slower connections, the first time though will likely take a while to download because the file is 10.2MB (118 frames) - but all the better to watch the GIF load frame by frame. [/spoiler]so you can judge for yourself.
95 INT: COLLINWOOD - CAROLYN'S BEDROOM - NIGHT 95 TIGHT on ballgown laid out for the party that night. CAMERA PULLS BACK. Carolyn comes from her bathroom. She wears a robe. She hears a SOUND OUTSIDE HER WINDOW. She looks toward the window, sees a bat. She GASPS. The bat disappears. She turns back to the dress. She sees Barnabas standing there. His gaze is so hypnotic that suddenly she finds she cannot speak. INTERCUT - THEIR EYES BARNABAS He bares his fangs, bends to bite her neck. |
