* It's That Time Of Year:




to:

**The song is played in it's entirety, with Tony's verse restored.
-->'''Tony:''' There was a time, nothing could hold us back\\
Our days were bright, before this earth turned black\\
But now my faith, feels like a distant ghost\\
I lost the things, I used to need the most\\
Where is the light that used to shine?\\
Where is the life that once was mine?\\
But while there's hope, while I still breathe\\
I will believe\\

** These parts has been cut out from the opening:
-->'''Savage:''' Oh how do I adore\\
Having the floor\\
To tell you what's on my mind?\\
I've become the man\\
I've always planned\\
Precisely at the right time\\

** Savage's long "free" has been shorten and goes right into the refrain.

** This was cut out from one of the verses:
-->'''Savage:''' You never do the work just muck and chuck\\
And pass the buck\\
Down the queue!\\
You're a wasted generation,\\
Compensation,\\
Has been long overdue\\

** This refrain is now repeated twice, however in the second time, Savage doesn't sing, "oh no".
-->'''Savage:''' Nothing's gonna stop me now!\\
Nothing's gonna stop me now,\\
It took me time to blossom, I know\\
But I'm all fired up and I'm ready to go!\\
Nothing's gonna stop me now,\\
Nothing's gonna stop me now,\\
I knew that I would make it somehow\\
Nothing's stopping me now\\
Oh no!\\


Added DiffLines:

** The song ends with what's originally the bridge part of the song, and cutting out some other dialogue. The heavy metal instrumental is swapped for instrumental's real ending.
-->'''Savage (spoken):''' I've been calling you all zombies for years!\\
Now fuck off!\\

* Savage spends time on the stage throwing captive students into the zombies as a twisted judge/jury, while Anna is forced to watch as she sneaks around the gym.

* Anna learns Chris and Lisa's fate through Nick.

* Anna and Nick's final stand is different from the movie:
** The zombies are much closer to them, and are forced to fight them.
** Nick gets injured from a fall zombie, taking him out of the fight.
** When the zombies get too close, Anna accepts her fate and drops her weapon.
** Steph mows down many zombies, while in the movie she drives a safe distance to rescue them.

* Unlike the movie's ending, Anna answers Steph's question about where they should go:
-->'''Anna:''' I don't know, but we'll figure it out together. \\

* Anna and Steph talk about their families in the bathroom. This was filmed for the movie but deleted from all versions. It's still present in the special features.

*The movie subtly reveals that Anna knew John liked her. Here, it's confirmed she already knew.

*Savage makes one last attempt to take control of the survivors, but fails. Things escalate when he and Julie's argument becomes physical, and he kills her. Now that he's snapped, Savage opens the doors and lets the zombies in.

**This happens off-screen in the movie, with Savage telling Anna and her friends what he did.

*We see how the other characters react to John's death:
**Chris was in disbelief, and vomits. During Anna's rampage, he does his best to stay by her side and protect her. He thinks about Lisa and Bea for motivation.
