Something that's interesting when it comes to the novelization's version of Scene 85 is that Roger's lines are: "There's no need for you to say. If I weren't seeing you with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. Come with me and meet the others!" Other than that, the dialogue plays just like DC's script. However, before Barnabas delivers yesterday's quote starting to introduce himself, the novelization says he bows - but as we know that's neither in DC's script nor the actual film.
But what I think is ever more interesting than any of the above is that the Fest's 1999 Movie Calendar includes four lines from Scene 85 that are nowhere to be seen in any versions of the scene that I have:
For February 2nd:
hoDS: Alternate Version of Scene #85 - Roger: 'But
there...there is no Barnabas Collins.' For February 3rd:
hoDS: Alternate Version of Scene #85 - Barnabas: 'I shall
have to tell my friends in England that.' For February 4th:
hoDS: Alternate Version of Scene #85 - Roger: 'For a
moment I thought the portrait had come to life.' and for February 5th:
hoDS: Alternate Version of Scene #85 - Barnabas: 'I feel as
if I've come home.' Though when I put together the original hoDS slideshow, I replaced the calendar's quote for February 4th with today's quote in the current slideshow...
