And before we move on to Scene 127, I'd like to share some stills from Scene 126. Obviously, the shots of Carolyn baring her fangs to David and then making a grab for him are no longer in the film. But I'm pretty sure they were in the film - at least when I saw it in September of 1970 and then again in October. We all know how NoDS was edited more even after its release and I'm thinking the same happened to hoDS. And I'm not simply relying on my what could easily be a faulty memory at this point for this because after I'd seen hoDS the first two times, the second two times I went to see it I took notes so that I could write up a summary of the film relying on my notes for visuals and a tape recording for the audio (who knew there would be a Paperback Library novelization?). Unfortunately, I no longer have the audio tape - but I do have the notes - and they clearly mention the baring of the fangs and the making a grab. So, unless somehow I hallucinated those things happening (and you never know because I'm sure I was high on candy/sugar from the concession stand), they were in the film...
But be that as it may, at least these two stills do exist. First, Carolyn baring her fangs -
- which as far as I know had only been published once in a 1970 article from a now defunct magazine called TV Radio Show (and it was published after the film had already opened, which is what they know Nancy Barrett gives "a socko performance") before a more detailed and better quality version was finally published in 2012 in the Return to Collinwood book - and secondly, David turning to run from Carolyn's attack -
- which as far as I can recall has only been published as part of an article Tiger Beat did on the film as well as one of the photos in the center of the novelization. Though it was sort of reworked for one of the teaser posters:
