Factual error: After Harry Powell disappears from in front of Ms. Cooper's yard, a barn owl swoops down on a rabbit. We can hear the owl's wings flap even though barn owls make no noise when they fly.
Factual error: The film is set in the 1930s, but John wears 1950s sneakers.
Audio problem: When Willa Harper is lying in bed talking to Harry her mouth movements are out of sync with the dialogue.
Rev. Harry Powell: I can hear you whisperin' children, so I know you're down there. I can feel myself gettin' awful mad. I'm out of patience children. I'm coming to find you now.
Question: It's never explained how Harry Powell gets that Model-T into the middle of the lake. Any possible answers?
