Shelly blows out a candle |
| Description: |
The Shelly and Trev theme was the original cue for this scene, which was later replaced by the Fear theme; this was likely done to heighten suspense and communicate to the audience that Shelly would have reason to be afraid of Trev at this point (rather than fall in love with him); variants on the the Shelly and Trev theme occur later in the film, but this original statement (which begins with the candle being blown out and ends with Trev covering her with a coat) was not used; this cue was recorded and is preserved in the Max Steiner Collection at BYU; it was also released on the album The Dark Side of Max Steiner (2018) |
