Continuity mistake: When Ryerston is dead already and is talking with Matt, the autopsy scar next to his neck keeps changing sides.
Salem's Lot (1979)
1 continuity mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Tobe Hooper
Starring: James Mason, Bonnie Bedelia, David Soul, Lance Kerwin
Visible crew/equipment: When Mike Ryerson is alone in the basement walking around the crate, you can see the shadow cast by the camera as he walks. The shadow moves along the crate because the camera is following Mike.
Straker: Oh, you're the writer. On vacation or vocation?
Trivia: The scenes where the child vampires float around outside or float into the bedrooms of their victims were partly filmed in reverse to make them seem more "unnatural."
