 In the original script Ted was an Elvis impersonator who died in an  elaborate sequence in a north of England workingmans club, the  sequence had to be deleted due to the constraints of the films  budget. Other scenes that had to be deleted included a hilarious  dream sequence in which the dead animals Callum keeps in his room  come back to life and begin to sing "Happy Birthday Mr President",  as a zombie Marilyn Monroe seduces Callum.
