The Televised Ending
Just when it looks like Sally Sparrow and Larry Nightingale are about to be defeated by the Weeping Angels, the TARDIS vanishes, and the four stone assassins are caught staring at each other, freezing them in place in the basement of Wester Drumlins.
One year later, Sally and Larry are running a DVD shop together, and while Larry has moved on from their encounter with the Angels, Sally hasn't.
She still wonders how the Doctor managed to obtain all the information he possessed in his DVD easter egg message, but luckily for her, she doesn't have to wait long to find out. The Doctor appears outside the shop and she runs out to greet him, hands him a dossier about the Angels, and returns to the shop with Larry in hand.
The Alternate Ending
This is an ending that writer Steven Moffat has pondered over the years, but it's unclear whether or not he actually wrote it into one of his drafts of the script, or whether it was merely a thought he had that never made it to the page.
It plays out in much the same way that the televised ending does, only this time, there's a rather sadistic twist when Sally returns to the shop. Here, she's greeted by a Weeping Angel, which zaps her back in time. A moment later, Larry follows her in, and he notices that an old painting on the wall is actually a painting of Sally, waving at him from the "distant past".
Pretty dark stuff, and this would've definitely been much more chilling than the statue montage we see in the televised cut.
