And now here's what's missing from DC's script as it appears in the original draft:
45 MAGGIE'S POV - OLD HOUSE GROUNDS
There is nothing but the rain and darkness.
46 INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT
Maggie turns back to the room, beginning to feel a little desperate. She sees a half burnt candle on a bureau. She finds matches in her pocket. She lights the candle, sits down to wait.
47 INT. DRAWING ROOM - COLLINWOOD - NIGHT
TIGHT SHOT - DAPHNE'S NECK - THE WOUNDS enters the corridor, runs toward the camera. There is A HAND is gently washing the blood from around the wounds. The CAMERA PULLS BACK. JULIA HOFFMAN, an attractive, chic woman, finishes her chore. Jeff Clark watches her.
JEFF Doctor, you must have some idea!
JULIA None. Do you?
He shakes his head that he doesn't.
JULIA You saw nothing? No animal?
JEFF Animal? What kind of animal could it be?
JULIA (preparing a hypodermic) We'll have to find that out, won't we?
48 INT. FOYER - COLLINWOOD - NIGHT CLOSEUP - LIZ
LIZ I wanted to send Daphne home in the car --
49 CAMERA PULLS BACK to GROUP SHOT. CAROLYN STODDARD, Liz's beautiful, young daughter, with her handsome fiancee TODD have just come in, heard the news. Mrs. Johnson watches from the staircase.
CAROLYN Now, mother, it's not your fault.
LIZ With David out there...Oh thank God you're home.
TODD I'll go out and look for David, Mrs. Stoddard.
LIZ Do be careful, Todd.
MRS. JOHNSON You won't find him. I know David Collins. He's hiding somewhere as safe as he can be. It's Maggie Evans I'm worried about.
Jeff enters from the drawing room.
JEFF What about Maggie?
LIZ She went hunting for David. Roger told her not to --
JEFF (very worried) Where? Where did she go?
50 EXT. OLD HOUSE - NIGHT - LONG LENS
The only light is from a candle in the upstairs bedroom window. SLOW ZOOM in on the light.

The end there. And I must say a few things:
Who knew Todd is really a woman (he's referred to as Carolyn's "fiancee" rather than fiance. That must mean Carolyn is actually supposed to be a lesbian in the film. Who knew that - or that the Collinses were way ahead of their time and accepting of gay marriage. The things you learn.
And you can certainly tell that the original draft was written before they knew they would be shooting at Lyndhurst because it would have been an amazing achievement for Mrs Johnson to have been able to see and watch the goings on in Lyndhurst's foyer from her perch on Lyndhurst's staircase!
And speaking of Mrs. Johnson, it's quite a shame that she never got to deliver the lines originally written for her, particularly with Clarice Blackburn delivering them - it would have been a perfect move for Mrs. Johnson and Clarice in the film. But alas...
Which actually brings us to something else because that scene actually had a rewrite before it was removed entirely. Not only were Mrs. Johnson's lines split between other characters, and some of Liz' lines given to Carolyn, and the location of the scene changed to Lyndhurst's card room, but the scene was extended quite a bit - and an additional scene was added between it and the scene of the candle in the Old House's bedroom window (making the full 7 scenes beginning with Scene 45 and ending with Scene 51):
49 INT. CARD ROOM - NIGHT
(I'm not repeating what's exactly the same from the beginning but starting off where Mrs. Johnson's lines are handed over.)
Roger enters the room.
ROGER You won't find him. I know my son. He's hiding somewhere as safe as he can be.
CAROLYN It's Maggie I'm worried about.
Jeff enters from the drawing room and crosses to Carolyn anxiously.
JEFF What about Maggie?
CAROLYN She went hunting David.
JEFF Where? Where did she go?
ROGER We don't know. I consider it foolish of her to go out on such a wild goose chase. David can take care of him- self!
JEFF (angrily) You should be grateful that she's so concerned for the boy.
LIZ We're not doing Maggie any good standing here arguing. Someone should try to find her and bring her back.
CAROLYN You're right.
JEFF (to Roger) How could you let Maggie go out alone on a night like this?
ROGER (annoyed) She went without consulting me! I'd thought I'd made that clear.
JEFF I'll see if I can locate her.
He starts out to the hall. All the others follow, with Liz ad libbing suggestions of where Maggie might be.
50 INT. FOYER - NIGHT
Jeff and Liz enter the foyer. Carolyn, Todd and Roger follow. Jeff opens the front door. David is standing there framed by the wet darkness.
DAVID I've come back.
51 EXT. OLD HOUSE - NIGHT - LONG LENS
The only light is from a candle in the upstairs bedroom window. SLOW ZOOM in on the light.

And there are a few things interesting about all these scene because in some cases they either repeat or contradict future scenes in the March 25th rewrite, which is no doubt why they were dropped. Though it's a shame that we didn't get to see Roger lie through his teeth to Jeff because, even in the original draft, Maggie tells Roger that she is going to the Old House to look for David and asks if he wants to accompany her - though, of course, Roger being Roger, he declines in some not very polite Rogerly ways. So, he knows damn well where Maggie's gone. But he's not about to let it look like he's in any way at fault - not our Roger!!
