Creepshow

Revealing mistake: When Ted Dansen gets buried in the sand, there isn't any extra sand piled up that was displaced by his body being in the hole.

Continuity mistake: When Henry enters the graveyard to look for Badelia the hanging lantern (which she previously hit her hat on) has now gone.

Revealing mistake: In the beginning, just before the little boy gets slapped by his father, the red mark is already there.

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the "Father's Day" story, Sylvia gets impatient and goes to the kitchen calling to Mrs. Danvers. She sees the muddy footprints and investigates further. Mrs. Danvers' corpse falls against the back of the kitchen door with her face in the round window. As Sylvia lets go of the door, you can see the dead Mrs. Danvers blink as she slides across the window out of view.

Factual error: In the first story, Father's Day, it is dark at 7:00. In the middle of June, the sun stays up until at least 8. Or even 9 up north.

Other mistake: The creep tells us that this is the first issue, but mere seconds after the famous ending of Father's Day we see fan mail on the second page, impossible for the first issue. (00:21:05)

Henry: I drove out there with the remains of three human beings... well, two human beings and Wilma.

Trivia: Originally, the segment "The Crate" (the story about a man-eating monster that lives in a crate) was supposed to be the film's third story, while "Something To Tide You Over" (the story about the drowned lovers who come back from the dead to take revenge) was supposed to come after "The Crate" and just before the last story, "They're Creeping Up On You." George Romero decided the film would flow better if "The Crate" came in fourth instead of in the middle.
