Before we move on to Scene 201, several things to revisit about Scene 200:
As I've mentioned before, Claire and Tracy's screams last longer in the 97 and 129 minute versions of the film, and previously I'd posted a video with extended audio -
And speaking of those screams, here's how Scene 200 currently plays in the film -
- but in the 97 minute version (and the 129 minute version) as one can hear in the video below, Tracy's and Claire's screams last approximately 2 seconds longer and the camera stays on the bloodied Gerard (sadly, I don't have that footage) as he lunges toward them -
- (yes, I've changed my mind because contrary to what I wrote back in 2016 I now believe he does indeed lunge toward them because when one examines Gerard frame by frame one can see that at the end of what's currently in the film he does begin to move toward them...)
...
- and everyone knows the NoDS cover of Famous Monsters of Filmland -

...
- but do you realize that it's one of the few places where the correct term, "hanged," is used for Angelique's manner of execution? - it drives me nuts that the posters for NoDS all say that she was "hung" as a witch, which is wrong wrong wrong - one would have thought that the copywriter for the posters should have known better, but apparently not - it's also interesting that the still was flipped for the cover - the actual still never seemed to show up anywhere else other than as the cover of that issue -

- and the Famous Monsters of Filmland article also includes a similarly rare and cropped/flipped version of a B&W still of Gerard -
