First up an alternate shot of Quentin and Tracy -
- that I've only seen as part of Flip's Curse of Dark Shadows article.
And a shot of Claire that Darren had shared on his Restoration Web site -
...
...
The first stayed nearly the same, but I updated it with a better scan -
- by using a crop of this version of the still -
(Click here for a 906X685 version)
Daytime TV caption: "Tracy (Kate Jackson) cradles husband
Quentin (David Selby) during seance to
rid him of the spirit of Angelique."
TV Radio Show caption: "David Selby and Kate Jackson had the lead
roles in Night of Dark Shadows as newlyweds."
- versions of which, as indicated by the captions, were published in Daytime TV and TV Radio Show, and also as the back inside cover of the 30th Anniversary '96 LA Fest.
However, the second got a whole new image -
- by using a crop of this still -

TV Dawn to Dusk's caption: "Quentin
collapses in the presence of Angelique's spirit as
Claire (Nancy Barrett) and Tracey (Kate Jackson) sup-
port him."
Famous Monsters of Filmland caption: "Three Creepy People
looking for a light in NIGHT OF DARK SHADOWS."
DS Movie Book caption: "Night of Dark Shadows: Nancy Barrett, David Selby and Kate Jackson in the deleted seance scene."
- versions of which, as indicated by the captions, were published in TV Dawn to Dusk and an issue different from the issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland that published the full NoDS article, and also happens to appear on page 12 as part of Kate Jackson's essay in the DS Movie Book...

And as far as the dialogue goes, presumably in the 129 minute version of the film Tracy still delivers some version of her line, but interestingly enough, in a document that I just recently rediscovered and had forgotten all about, Darren indicates that Quentin's quote was given to Claire (minus the reference to Tracy). So, if I had done graphics closer to what the scene is apparently actually like, these would have probably been more appropriate:
Tracy: 'Thank God, Quentin, thank God.'
Claire: 'It's over. It's over!'

Movie Soundtracks booklet caption: "Nancy Barrett as Claire Jenkins, David Selby as Quentin Collins
and Kate Jackson as Tracy Collins in the deleted seance scene."
- which also happens to appear on page 16 of the Movie Soundtracks booklet...

Sandor tells Barnabas, I found it, in the crypt. Barnabas orders him to open it--I'll be with you at midnight, then takes down the portrait and looks at it. "But first, I must pay a visit to an old friend," says Barn.

Page 110/Scene 241 - Tracy: 'Thank God, Quentin,
thank God.'
Page 110/Scene 241 - Quentin: 'It's over, Tracy. It's over!'
- those two, with the top graphic using a screen capture from this -
- which appear in one of the NoDS TV spots.
And here's a version of the clip slowed down to 25% of the speed -
- to get a better look at it...
(It's quite odd that the frame from the shot of the railroad bridge shows up at the beginning of the slowed down version yet it doesn't display at the start of the same clip at its normal speed or when I run the clip frame by frame through my video editing software. And because it doesn't show up in the software, I can't remove it. But hey, not everything can be perfect. )

241 INT - GALLERY - NIGHT - HIGH WIDE ANGLE 241
Quentin lies on the floor cradled in Tracy's arms.
Claire kneels next to him. HOLD FOR ONE BEAT and
then FAST ZOOM IN TO QUENTIN'S CLOSE-UP as, taking
a deep breath, he opens his eyes. SLOWLY WIDEN TO
INCLUDE Claire and Tracy, as Quentin and Tracy
embrace.
And that's when today's first quote -Page 110/Scene 241 - Tracy: 'Thank God, Quentin, thank God.'
comes up, followed in the script by:
Claire rises as we continue to PULL BACK as dawn
can be seen through the gallery windows.
And that's when today's second quote -Page 110/Scene 241 - Quentin: 'It's over, Tracy. It's over!'
comes up.
End of the seance sequence.
And as far as the descriptions and directions go, we do know that there's a zoom in to Quentin as he wakes because that is in one of the TV spots, but beyond that who knows because Scene 241 doesn't appear in the film as it currently stands...
