The "Extended Cut" features four minutes of new footage, lengthening two scenes that were already included in the theatrical version. The first new scene is a Count Orlok monologue, responding to Thomas's mention of the ritual witnessed at a tavern during his journey, where the townspeople dug up a body from the forest and impaled it with a stake. The second scene shows more of the Second Night and foreshadows Ellen's eventual acceptance of agency over her own fate.
