“My first cut was about three hours. There’s a lot left out. My first draft of the script is 180-odd pages or something because you’re trying to include everything. And a lot of it has to do with a lot of the secondary characters and stuff that I spoke about. So it was sad to see that stuff go, but it’s like a necessary evil.”One of the things left out is the scene where Ben Mears as a child he sneaked into the Marsten House and had what may have been a supernatural experience.
Dauberman also spoke about the delay of the release of the film.
“It was a dark journey, you know, mostly an unpleasant journey, just not knowing… I just didn’t know what was going on.”
Another interesting fact was revealed when Cinema Blend spoke to Dauberman. Dauberman revealed that there is a deleted scene that features an issue of Comics Review.
“It didn't get into the movie, but I had the original publication, the zine of his first published short story. Someone brought it in. It's like, if you buy it, it's like $10, 15 grand or whatever. I had a scene where Mark Petrie is leaving class and he drops all his books and stuff, and Ben [Mears] helps him pick it up and he picks it up and he looks at it, and that's where Mark gets all his knowledge of horror movies and all that stuff.”
