The Cutting Room Floor Page Twelve: Tracy's Dream

As Night of Dark Shadows now stands, the audience may wonder why it is that Tracy goes looking for Quentin at the ruined swimming pool. Well, the original script furnished her with a very good reason to believe Quentin might be found there - as can been seen in the following excerpt:

Night of Dark Shadows Script Excerpt (red text - included in film / white text - deleted from film) INT - MASTER BEDROOM - NIGHT - HIGH ANGLE Tracy lies asleep, fitfully tossing and turning in her bed. SLOWLY CRANE DOWN AND TRUCK INTO HER CLOSE-UP. HOLD ON HER FACE as she is obviously experiencing a dream. Over this, slowly bring in the SOUND OF ANGELIQUE'S LAUGHTER. TIGHTEN TO AN EXTREME CLOSE-UP as the SOUND ECHOES IN HER EARS. DISSOLVE TO: INT - RUINED SWIMMING POOL - NIGHT SLOW MOTION DREAM EFFECT Series of DISSOLVES depicting Quentin and Angelique making love -- GP RATING STYLE. Their AD LIB love dialogue will be HEARD OVER THE SCENE. DISSOLVE TO: INT - MASTER BEDROOM - NIGHT TRACY - CLOSE-UP - NORMAL SPEED With the SOUNDS OF THE DREAM STILL ECHOING OVER HER FACE, she opens her eyes. HOLD HER IN CLOSE-UP as she slowly sits up. TRACY (trance-like) I won't let you have him...I won't. WIDEN as she stands, crosses to the door and EXITS THE SHOT.
