"Come to think of it, I like them boxes, the ones we had in that ship scene.  Git 'em over here onto the abbey set. Have the two old guys pretend they're lookin' for 'em or somethin'.  Give Eddy a piece of paper. What? What's the paper supposed to be?   Stupid question. Aww, pretend it's a bill of lading or something, that's how they hunt for the bad guy, I dunno. Just take the photograph, will ya?"imageimage
"And get the Hunky back into costume. We'll do another shot with him by a window. Yes, with the boxes again. Do I have to explain everything?  What? "Do we roll film?" No, of course we're not going to roll film, you muttonhead, we're just shooting publicity shots. And tell Fat Boy to get those shadows right."image



I can't remember now, but does the final shooting script contain a scene of Van Helsing and Seward at Carfax Abbey as depicted in the two photos above?
