Page 106/Scene 229 - Quentin: 'So this is why Laura was laughing at the funeral. They were burying an empty coffin.'
That line was quoted in the 1989 Collinsport Players skit, The Night Before. It's followed by an interjection from Claire: "Really? Who's Brick?" That wacky Mrs. Jenkins!
I'm probably misremembering, but I recall that the FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND "filmbook" of this movie which had nearly the entire story set out in text and photos (so why bother to go see it, some may have asked) ended with the scene of Tracy screaming in the basement room.
Oh, I do hope we'll get to see this one day! I see that WB is opening up a bit more to licensing films to other parties for home media release, and my big dream is to see Criterion Collection put out a Blu-ray with all three known versions of NODS: the official theatrical release, the slightly longer version that some theaters got by mistake (and which I got to see in Aug. 1971!), and the original director's cut. Along with commentaries, of course! And a feature-length documentary on the whole thing.
228 THE BRICK WALL - QUENTIN'S P.O.V. 228 BACK TO SCENE as they help the still-crying Tracy to her feet, Quentin crosses to the brick wall and stands looking at it. He thinks for a moment, then turns to them. QUENTIN That's it! Alex looks at him. |
CUT TO: 229 INT - SMALL ROOM - NIGHT 229 as Alex and Quentin have just about finished ripping out the brick wall, the large iron door is revealed. Quentin grabs the rusted bolt and unlocks it. INT - ROUND BURIAL ROOM - NIGHT as the door opens and light streams in, Quentin and Alex stand in silhouette in the doorway. THE ROOM - THEIR P.O.V. The light of their candelabras reveal an aged pine coffin covered with cobwebs and dust. As they ENTER THE SHOT and cross to it, they suddenly see the skeletal remains of Charles Collins. In the B.G., the girls appear at the doorway. |
