Continuity mistake: The wooden box (holding the "silver bullets" that the sheriff is handing out) has no markings on the side from a distance, but when the camera zooms in to see the ammo, you can see heavy black marks like someone crossed out a name and address, and you can also see a paper label partially torn off the box with writing blacked out. Then when the camera zooms back again, and the deputy picks up the box, the side of the wooden box is blank again. (01:21:20)

Professor T. Eliot Stokes: If I told the police that the creature they're looking for lives by night, and sleeps in a coffin by day... they might question my sanity.
