Revisiting odd differences in the way Angelique's hanging was shot and how certain stills were taken:
Next up is something that appeared in Flip Magazine's Curse of Dark Shadows article (and you can see that versionherein that post), but in this post I'm sharing the version that appeared in the Daytime TV article:
(Click here for a 702X924 version)
The Flip caption for it reads: "Angelique is executed in the 19th
century for her adultery with
Charles Collins."
And the Daytime TV caption reads: "Flashback segment of film shows Angelique was
hung as adulteress and witch in 19th century."
And you'll note that the henchmen who share the platform with Angelique in the photo are the same two who share it with her in the film, as today's first scrren capture shows:
However, they are not the same two who share the platform with her in this still:

And what's most fascinating about the two sets of men is that footage of both sets exists. As I've shown, the first set appears in the film in several three shots atop the platform, but if you're observant, you'll notice that the second set also appears in the film as well as in footage that appear in some of the NoDS trailers -
- here's the footage from the trailers -
- but note that there's a jump cut in the film -
- more than likely so as not to show the henchman on the left's face, which no doubt would have had people in the audience saying, "Hey, how did he get up there when it was a different guy earlier?"
