House on Haunted Hill

Visible crew/equipment: When Sarah and Eddie return to the saturation chamber after losing the other two, the camera shot is high up looking down into the room from a corner. In the upper right hand corner above the saturation chamber you can see the microphone fully in frame and "hovering" as they re-enter that room. It is also there a second time after the camera angle changes.

Revealing mistake: When the house has been locked down at the beginning of the film no moonlight could come in, however when the guests are being shown the coffin with the guns in there is a shaft of bright moonlight shining on to it.
