Eulogy - S1-E7

Other mistake: While working in the basement, the young Hugh Crain gets his right hand sliced badly by a fan. When the story next jumps forward to the present time, the first thing we see is Hugh grabbing a handful of dirt with the same hand and there is barely a scar on it.

Phaneron

Screaming Meemies - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Just before Olivia commits suicide by falling from the staircase balcony, we see her behind the railing. How does she suddenly get in front of the railing (which would need to happen in order for her to fall) just as the ghost of Poppy reaches for her? (00:52:15 - 00:53:00)

Trivia: In the original novel, the characters Eleanor, Theo and Luke were not siblings. In addition, the characters Steven and Shirley didn't exist in the original novel. This series - a re-imagining of the novel - made the main characters into siblings and added Steven and Shirley to broaden the cast a bit. Shirley is named after Shirley Jackson, who wrote the novel.
