Synopsis:
I have taken the classic miniseries and edited down to its core story. Some of the melodrama is gone as are plotlines that didn't go anywhere. Now we get a leaner and meaner take on the story and getting there with a little bit of a brisker pace.

Intentions:
I really enjoyed this miniseries the couple of times I've watched it, but there are parts that felt like it could use a little bit of editing to get things go quicker.

Change List:
-Reframe the movie to 16:9 widescreen -Bring running time to 150 minutes or less -Remove all fade/hard cut to black commercial breaks -Remove Crockett/Bonnie/Cully affair -Cut Cully completely, Bonnie only appears in the scene when Ben talks to Crockett -Move some scenes around, including cutting the opening in Mexico, but reusing the footage to add to the end -Tighten things up such as the removal of the several excessive scenes of Straker leaving the house and driving into town -Added a vampire-esque hissing sound for Ralphie Glick's two vampiric appearances and a bite sound during his second one -Upped the music volume during Straker's murder of Dr. Norton to add to the terror of the scene.
