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)

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.

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.

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.

Question: I heard that the marble ashtray that Bedelia uses to kill her father Nathan in the "Father's Day" segment appears in all the stories. Does anyone know the specific scenes it shows up in in the other ones?

Answer: Besides being in "Father's Day", it showed up in "The Lonesome Death Of Jordy Verrill" right next to the cash box at the Department of Meteors. In "Something To Tide You Over" on the nightstand next to Richard's bed. In "The Crate", it was on the writing desk when Henry writes the letter to Wilma. In "They're Creeping Up On You", Upson Pratt uses it as a soap dish. And in the epilogue, it appears on Billy's desk when he starts stabbing the voodoo doll.
