Because there's much that we have to cover regarding the script vs. the pilot, I'm going to break things up into two posts. First up, the script:
THE EYES OF THE CORPSE SUDDENLY SNAP OPEN.
Before Will can react, a strong hand with a black stone ring bursts out of the coffin, GRABBING WILLIE BY THE THROAT. As Willie CHOKES, he's pulled into the coffin itself. Kelly turns at the sound, STUNNED by what she sees.And it's at that point that today's quote -
Page 20 - Willie (CONT'D): 'Help... me...'
- is scripted to take place. And from that point the script goes on to describe:
With a SCREAM, Kelly bolts for the entrance, but the stone door suddenly SWINGS SHUT. Trapped, Kelly turns back to see Willie's body slump to the floor, the dark figure of the
VAMPIRE
silhouetted in the torch light, already out of sarcophagus. We only see the Vampire in flashes of feet, hands, blood-red eyes... with a burst of SPEED he's upon her,
SLAMMING
her against the stone wall. Strong HANDS shove Kelly's head back, revealing her pulsing JUGULAR. She squirms, helpless against his strength, as his lips pull back, revealing
BONE WHITE FANGS.
The Vampire's eyes ROLL BACK LIKE A SHARK'S, then he SINKS HIS FANGS into Kelly's throat. As Kelly convulses, she DROPS the cross to the stone floor, her BLOOD speckling it red...FADE OUT.
END OF ACT ONE
But don't get too attached to much of that because the actual pilot is VERY different...
