DELETED SCENES
With or without commentary
The first scene is Sid arrives in the cemetery after leaving Harris
and Kira back at the restaurant. He tries to go inside when a State
Trooper pulls over and asks what he's doing there. He tells the
trooper his friend had just died and the funeral was that day and he
missed it and wanted to stop by. The trooper said the cemetery was
closed and said he had to leave. The trooper reports it in and drives
off as does Sid.
Next scene is of Harris recieving a message at his office.
Harris walks in the parking lot on his way to his vehicle.
Late at night, he looks around the house after hearing a noise. He
finds the door open and closes it.
Harris and Allison(Clare) are having dinner. They have an intimate
conversation about how they don't do things like that anymore and
that she misses it. Harris talks about taking a vacation to spend
more time with her and she says she wants to go to bed. The door to
the house automatically swings open by itself and they head to close
it.
Allison(Clare) and Harris are in bed. Harris hears a noise and wakes
up. Allison wakes up as well and he covers her up with a blanket and
she goes back to bed. Harris looks to see what the noise was then
comes back to find the blankets are off her. He goes back to cover
her up.
Harris leaves the police station.
In the house, he searches it with a gulf club in the middle of the
night, only to find a black cat, swinging at it and breaking a glass.
Vincent talks to Culpepper.
Clare sits alone in the "house" and in walks in everyone.
Clare talks Kira about Harris and Kira responds "Fuck you, Allison"
and walks off.
In the cemetery, they arrive preparing to dig. Allison goes for a
walk and stands by a tree.(Which is why we never saw her digging and
the scene should have been kept in the film to avoid that gap._
Vincent and Culpepper fight about working close together.
Next in the Special features comes a
"MAKING THE GHOSTS"
