Mommie Dearest - Rose Garden w/ Original Music

All current prints of "Mommie Dearest" are missing the underscoring for the dramatic rose garden sequence. It is reported that the master audio-track containing the music was damaged beyond repair, therefore the scene is presented without music on the DVD releases.

Here is the scene with Henry Mancini's underscore, as taken from the original VHS edition.

This scene is actually scarier without the music...it's rawer that way.

@TopandTang Yeah, the music camps it up a lot!

Why not just take the audio from this master and edited it in?

I wondered the same thing. Maybe the quality discrepancy would've been too noticeable, but I swear I heard bits of this song used on the DVD documentaries as well. Surely there was at least a variation of it they could've edited back in!
