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.
Creepshow (1982)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: George A. Romero
Starring: Leslie Nielsen, Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, E.G. Marshall, Fritz Weaver
Continuity mistake: When Henry enters the graveyard to look for Badelia the hanging lantern (which she previously hit her hat on) has now gone.
Wilma Northrup: Now get out of my way, Henry, or I swear to God you'll be wearing your balls for earrings.
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.
