(What's very interesting is that even in 2004, when the WB pilot was done, the We-Can't-See-Willie-Being-Bitten-On-The-Neck notion was still in full force because the scene cuts off before Willie is attacked. Or at least it does in the version of the pilot that showed up online (I don't honestly recall if it was the case in the version that's been shown at Fests). And also interestingly, even though the scene plays very differently in the script from the way it was shot, even in the script Willie gets pulled into Barnabas' coffin so that the actual attack is not seen. Although, it appears it was actually more for suspense and mystery, so that Willie's girlfriend Kelly wouldn't know exactly what was going on until it was too late, than for timidity at showing the actual attack on Willie.)
