Before we move on to today's Scene 38, I want to revisit Scene 35, the one in which the figure is seen -
- hanging in the tree. Now, you may recall this post -
- however, Darren Gross explained how those still came about -
- and another version of the skeleton photo that I meant to post is the colorized version that 16 Magazine shared -
- which was misidentified as being Angelique's remains...

The shot of the skeleton hanging from the tree was just on-set goofing around. I have the contact sheets from this shoot, and it's not supposed to be Angelique- it's Charles's skeleton and is dressed in his rotted shirt- that's why there's that shot of Selby standing next to it, as it's his character. They were shooting publicity shots of Selby, and the crew just ties a rope to the skeleton and pulls it up off the ground to get the shots with Selby, then afterwards a few shots of it by itself in the tree. I was thrilled to find that contact sheet, as it always appeared to be some shot of Angelique's body rotted to nothing and hanging there, and intriguing, but impossible scene to match to any of the scripts.
