And yet more scenes in the unshot sequence:
11 HIPPY - HIGH ANGLE 11
CAMERA set on third floor shooting down stairwell. Hippy is a small figure as his voice takes on the CAVERNOUS ECHOES of the huge house. HOLD until he EXITS FRAME.
SUPER FINAL CREDIT
DISSOLVE TO:
12 OMITTED OMMITTED 12
13 EXT - FRONT OF COLLINWOOD - NIGHT - WIDE ANGLE 13
It is later now. The storm has dissipated. There is only a LOW MOANING OF THE WIND. HOLD ON THIS for a moment as a faint glow appears in the windows of the Tower Room. Then disappearing, it reappears in the windows below, as it descends toward the main floor.
CUT TO:
14 INT - TOWER STAIRS - NIGHT - WIDE ANGLE 14
HAND-HELD TRUCKING CAMERA descends the stairs as if it were the eerie light.
INT - SECOND FLOOR - NIGHT
Continue TRUCKING to the stairs and start down.
15 INT - DRAWING ROOM - NIGHT - LOW ANGLE 15
Shooting through the doors down the corridor, a faint glow of light begins to appear near the base of the stairs. Now the CAMERA SLOWLY PANS LEFT to reveal the Hippy sound asleep on the sofa. The fire has burned low, an empty bottle of brandy lies on the floor. SLOWLY TRUCK IN TO HIS CLOSE-UP as he suddenly opens his eyes. Sensing a presence, he sits up and looks toward the corridor. Then rising, he crosses to the doors. TRUCK IN TO EXTREME CLOSE-UP as he reacts.
16 INT - CORRIDOR - HIPPY'S P.O.V. 16
There is a strange iridescent glow at the foot of the stairs. It has no particular form but has that same pulsating quality that we saw in the tower.
16 CONTD CONTD 16
HIPPY (O.S.) (calling) Hey! Who's there? I got company?
HIPPY - REVERSE ANGLE - LONG LENS
Shooting from the Dining Room at the opposite end of the hall through the pulsating glow. The Hippy starts drunkenly toward CAMERA.

And that's when yesterday's quote -
Page 4/Scene 16 - Hippy (again calling): 'Hey, who's there? Where's that light coming from?'
- comes up.
And, yes, the second omitted is spelled as "OMMITTED" on both pages 1 and 3 of the script. I have no idea why.
And so far there are still no differences between the way DC's and Grayson Hall's scripts are written - however, in DC's script Scene 14 has a box drawn around it and a big X in the box, which, given similar notations in DC's copy of the hoDS script where he didn't shoot individual scenes within sequences that were shot, means that even if DC had shot this current NoDS sequence, Scene 14 still wouldn't have been shot...
