Upon inspecting the negative, we noticed that only every seventh or sixth frame was in focus, while the rest were blurred or misaligned. We somehow managed to create extreme close-ups of Mary’s screaming mouth and terrified eyes that, when projected, appeared as jumping images. We were able to use some of this damaged footage in the scene where Mary is attacked by the two fake doctors. However, this issue was probably the result of improperly formed film loops or shrunken film stock. Since our film stock was fresh and well-preserved, shrinkage wasn’t the cause. Therefore, the jumping image was most likely due to incorrectly formed loops in the camera. Unfortunately, this problem affected several shots – practically an entire roll of film loaded into the camera. Thankfully, we had been using two cameras and captured the same shots with both, which allowed us to recover the footage. 62
