Corrected entry: In the scene where Suzie's dad is sitting with his face next to a candle, staring out the window into the dark of the night, his and the candles' reflections are shown in the glass. The movement of the fire on the candle is not the same as the movement of its reflection.

Corrected entry: At the time of Susie's murder her mother's making dinner and the other kids are watching 'The Partridge Family' on TV. We are assuming this is around 6 PM. We already know the date is December 6, 1973. 'The Partridge Family' actually aired at 8:30 PM EST. It also aired on Fridays - December 6, 1973 was on a Thursday. And when it cut to an exterior shot of the murder scene it was still light out. It would certainly have been pitch black by 5 PM in early December.
Correction: It was dusk during the dinner preparation scene, and dark by the time they were sitting at the table. Suzie attended the film club screening after school, and she was abducted on the way home from school, so it was likely 430 to 5 PM. Sunset on Dec 6, 1973 was at about 4:54 PM, with full dark likely by 5:30. It wouldn't have been pitch black at 5:00. The Partridge Family could have been a rebroadcast by a local network affiliate, airing it at a different time than the main network feed. I remember coming home and watching The Partridge Family and The Brady Bunch after school in the early 70's. The shows were aired back to back from 4 PM to 5 PM. They were all repeats, not the prime time broadcasts.

Correction: It's not supposed to be the same. It's an indication of Suzie's spirit trying to make contact with him. That's the whole point of the scene.
