[spoiler]August 27th's quote:
NoDS: Scene #101 (-1966: Ep #87) - Strack - 'Angelique Collins, you have been condemned as a witch and you MUST die as a witch.'
This quote is a correlation with June 10th's quote(
June 10th's entry in this slideshow
), which came from NoDS' Scene 126 and the following post from "Happy 50th Anniversary, Night of Dark Shadows" explains it all:
As we know, as NoDS currently stands, what replaces Scenes 41 through 45 is an amalgam of things taken from what were originally intended to be other parts of the film and turned into a dream. The sequence is made up of Scene 126 (though audio only from some of the dialogue from that scene), Scenes 145 & 146, and Scenes 101 through 103 (though in Grayson's script part of Scene 101 was originally Scene 67 before a 3/31 rewrite - but more on that when we get to that part of the script).
One of the things that I think is most effective in the dream sequence is Strack's echoing voiceover at the dream's start. Now, we know that after the enforced marathon edit, David Selby was called in to loop a voiceover for the scene in which Quentin, Tracy, Claire and Alex try to find a way into the house after Gerard gets his comeuppance. And Darren Gross has written that John Karlen also did some looping to make things clearer, though he doesn't say what Karlen did and I've never been able to discern on my own what it might be. But I've often wondered if Thayer David was also called in to loop Strack's dream voiceover? Even apart from the echoing effect, it's different from how Strack's condemnation plays during the actual hanging:
The dream:
STRACK
Angelique Collins, you have been
condemned as a witch and you must
die as a witch. Let your soul be
returned to the pits of darkness
forevermore. For thou knowest we
do what we must for thy sake, in
thy name. Amen. Prepare yourself
for eternity, witch. Let the devil take
his own!
The hanging (edited down to being more similar to the dream voiceover):
STRACK
Angelique Collins, you have been
condemned as a witch and you must
die. But your spirit will not live after
you for your earthly remains will
hang her until your spirit returns to
the pits of darkness forevermore.
...
For thou knowest that we do what we
must for thy sake, in thy name.
Amen. Prepare yourself for eternity,
witch. Let the devil take his own!
Interestingly enough, the "Angelique Collins, you have been condemned as a witch and you must die as a witch. Let your soul be returned to the pits of darkness forevermore" part of the dream's voice over is the way it's written in the script for the hanging, but it's actually delivered as "Angelique Collins, you have been condemned as a witch and you must die. But your spirit will not live after you for your earthly remains will hang her until your spirit returns to the pits of darkness forevermore."
And unfortunately, if Darren has shown what actually plays in the 129 minute version in the place that the dream currently appears - if it is indeed the dream or some portion thereof - I'm not sure because I'm pretty certain I've never seen it if it was shown because I would remember because it's a big question I have regarding the 129 minute version...
And when it comes to Scene 126, things are actually quite different from the way they're scripted. However, the only thing that relates to the quote is that Strack delivers his lines as "Angelique Collins, you have been condemned as a witch and you must die. But your spirit will not live after you. For your earthly remains will hang here until your spirit returns to the pits of darkness forever more" rather than what's scripted. And, of course "forever more" should actually be spelled as one word: "forevermore".
And similar to what I've done in the past with NoDS and hoDS, I used a screen capture from the Laser Disc for NoDS -
- so that it would be in keeping with the dimensions of the screen captures from the original show, but this is what the Blu-ray looks like -
And Ep #87 now joins Eps #1, #5, #8, #12, #13, #22, #24, #39, #120, #124, #136, #138, #139, #141, #145, #189, #198, #210, #217, #219, #223, #242, #263, #272, #478, #659, #667, #690, #904, #960, #1008 and #1087 as ones without any "must" lines.
