Editing Summary
Darren Gross

The availability in this book of the original directors scripts to the two Dark Shadows movies provides the opportunity to read how Dan Curtis originally envisioned the films.
House of Dark Shadows
A full-length cut of House of Dark Shadows, including all the scripted scenes, would likely run between 114 and 117 minutes. However, approximately 20 minutes was not included in the final version. The resulting 97-minute theatrical cut (also known as a release print), was approved by Curtis. The deleted scenes, with estimated running times, follow.
Scenes 2-3, 6-7, 11-17Maggie explores the house; David pretends to hang himself. (4-5 mins)
Scene 21Maggie and Roger argue in the stable. (1 min)
Scene 66-68cRoger shows the Sheriff out, Jeff and Maggie confront Roger. (1-2 mins)
Scene 80Carolyn, Roger and Liz discuss Daphnes recovery and Carolyns encounter with Willie (1 min)
Scenes 97-101David and Roger at the party (1min)
Scenes 107, 107a & 109Party; David says goodbye to Maggie; Barnabas & Maggie (2-3 mins)
Scene 123Roger comforts Liz (30 secs)
Scenes 135-137Stokes, Roger and the Sheriff discover Carolyns empty coffin (2 mins)
Scene 142 (partial)Jeff and Maggie discuss Barnabas (1 min)
Scene 158Jeff, Roger & co. rush to see the car crash (5 secs)
Scene 165Todd wanders through the woods (5 secs)
Scene 178-179 (partial)Roger talks to Liz (30 secs)
Scene 186Barnabas and Julia become friends (2 mins)
Scene 191Maggie, Jeff and David at the greenhouse (1-2mins)
Scene 193Willie warns Stokes about Barnabas (1-2 mins)
Scene 235Jeff wakes and tests the crossbow (5 secs)
In addition to the scenes listed above, Curtis eliminated the final shot of scene 126 where Carolyn bares her fangs and lunges at David. He also shortened scene 225 where the old man gives Jeff the note.
Curtis intended the film to stand by itself, without requiring the audience to be familiar with the television series. However, the finished cut has several gaps in the development of the story and leaves a number of questions unanswered. A complete version would have had more dialogue and character scenes between the violent portions. Instead, we never find out what happens to Daphne, why Maggie plans to leave Collinwood, why the police suddenly believe in vampires, or why Stokes doesnt warn anyone about Barnabas after he talks to Julia.
The final cut also has several scenes where characters refer to events in the story that were cut or were never shot. In scene 190, Barnabas tells Willie he has done something for Jeff, but the final cut never explains what. In the deleted greenhouse scene, it is revealed that Barnabas has arranged to have Jeffs paintings shown in a Boston gallery in order to get him out of the way when Barnabas makes his move on Maggie that night. In scene 195, in which Barnabas beats Willie with his cane, Willie tells Barnabas he has warned professor Stokes about himanother deleted scene.
The relationship between Julia and Barnabas develops quickly in the final cut as well. In one scene they are antagonists, one scene later they are friends and Julia is obviously in love with Barnabas. Deleted scene 186 shows them growing closer as Barnabas warms up to Julia and they walk arm-in-arm.
The original opening where Maggie searches the house for David and encounters the rest of the family would have helped to clarify who they are. Many non-Dark Shadows viewers have been confused, since almost a dozen characters are briefly introduced in the first five minutes. Viewers can mistake Jeff with Todd, Maggie with Daphne, and believe that Roger and Liz are husband and wife instead of sister and brother.
Dan Ross paperback novelization of the film was based on the original script and dramatizes the missing scenes, not taking into account any of the last minute rewrites or dialogue changes. The role of Nancy Hodiak was intended to be played by television regular Marie Wallace, but she left the series and was unavailable. Curtis cut the scene altogether, using some of its staging in Barnabas attack on Daphne.
There are several scripted scenes which were never shot; they are as follows:
Scenes 9-10Maggie explores the tower
Scenes 69-77Barnabas stalks and kills Nancy Hodiak
Scene 87Liz and Roger show Barnabas the Old House
Scene 118Julia talks to Stokes at the cemetery
Scenes 129-132Todd drives in the cemetery
Scene 163Aftermath of the car wreck
Scene 180Stokes tries to talk to Julia
Scenes 182-183Julia watches the sun go down
Scene 200Stokes tries to warn Maggie
Scene 217Stokes and Roger explore the tower library
Night of Dark Shadows
Before shooting began on Night of Dark Shadows, Curtis decided to drop the opening prologue with the hippie (scenes 1-27) and Claire and Tracys shopping trip (scenes 81-83.) TV series regular Michael Stroka was a candidate to play the hippie. Either Stroka or Keith Prentice (another DS alumni) would most likely have played the shop owner Gregory.
After production, Curtis was forced to delete approximately 25% of the finished film. This reduced an estimated 131 minute original running time to 94 minutes. The following scenes or sequences, with estimated running times, are not included in the release print:
Scene 28Carlotta meets Tracy and Quentin (ending trimmed) (15 1)
Scene 39Carlotta brings the salad (15 secs)
Scenes 41-50Quentin is drawn to the tower/Quentin oversleeps/Tracy sees Gerard (4 mins)
Scene 53Gerard prepares the horse (trimmed) (15 secs)
Scenes 63-73Carlotta leaves the tower/Quentin & Tracy in bed/Quentin goes to the tower/Tracy wakes Quentin/Piano flashback/Picnic at the greenhouse/ Shopping trip (4-5 mins)
Scene 87Quentin shows the unfinished portrait ( 1 min)
Scenes 104-106AQuentin limps/Gerard molests Tracy (5 mins)
Scenes 111-114Alex warns Quentin, then Tracy (4-5 mins)
Scene 116Quentin removes Angeliques portrait (1 min)
Scene 122Sarah watches Gabriel go upstairs (10 secs)
Scene 125Sarah hides in her room (10 secs)

Scenes 150-152Quentin embraces Angelique/Tracy calls Alex (1 min)
