1 revealing mistake - chronological order

Visible crew/equipment: Young vampire Danny floats away from the window after being confronted with a crucifix. The effect is quickly ruined when the boom he is sitting on can be seen moving him for 8 seconds. (01:43:40)
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."
