The Vicki sequence that I'm really disappointed wasn't included in the film is when she dances with Barnabas at the party:
It seems like perhaps it would have been an even more tender moment than their exchange on the terrace, and it might have also cemented their relationship even more in the audience's mind. But alas, perhaps it was yet another sequence that may have been sacrificed for the momentum of the film - or even in order to comply with that weird WB edict that the film run under 2 hours.
Unfortunately I don't have the magazines that came out in the few months prior to the film's release (I lent them to a friend back at Christmastime of last year when I gave him a copy of the Blu-ray as a gift and I haven't gotten them back yet) so I can't look up the actual article - but it would be interesting to go back to whichever article it was that mentioned how long Burton's initial cut of the film was because it was much longer than the version that was ultimately released.
