Suggested correction: Not a mistake. Ryan Reynolds actually had bloodshot eyes from being awake for nearly two days of filming. He stated it in an interview for the movie.

It is in this shot, you can see Michael's shirt is still intact.

Continuity mistake: When Claire first sees the ghost, Norman rushes in and Claire grabs and hugs him. Her hand was just in the tub yet as she's hugging Norman, her hand is dry. She would have left some kind of a wet mark on Norman's shirt.

(00:08:20)
Continuity mistake: In the shot where Mattie walks towards the toilet at her school, you can see there's a pencil in her hair pointing downwards. When she's inside the toilet, the pencil's direction and her hair have both changed.
