Sid Is Dead picture

Continuity mistake: The desk lamp (which has an odd 2-3" "halo" around its perimeter) faces the screen (angled away from Sid). Suddenly, the lamp aims at Sid spinning in his chair. The lamp goes back to its original angle but varies a couple more times. (00:41:20)

The Ritual Killer picture

Continuity mistake: At the bar, the amount of beer in Maria's "Corona Extra" bottle varies from at the neckline, to below, to above. After she takes a swig, it is still at the neckline; then it is about 1/2" above the neckline. (00:25:50 - 00:26:44)

80 for Brady picture

Continuity mistake: The way the potato chips are arranged in the bowl (diagonally rising towards the right of the screen, with one chip protruding upward near the middle) changes with a camera shift (to no chip sticking up in the centre and other chips angled more towards the left of the screen). Nobody shifted the bowl 180° to account for the difference. A little later, the chips are in a mound (nobody is eating any), followed by being level to the edges of the bowl. (00:01:25)

Continuity mistake: Before Francois writes on the whiteboard (dry-erase), the words at the top are not boxed-in (or underlined). After being boxed-in, the words are surrounded by more of an oval shape, then not highlighted at all - but the words on the third line are boxed-in, followed by being underlined 4 times, to not underlined, to being boxed-in again. (00:17:28 - 00:19:05)

Tell Me a Creepy Story picture

Character mistake: [Story 1: Hungry Joe] It isn't clear what blood test results the doctor receives for Joe, but Laura pleads that she "really needs to know what's wrong with her son" because "He eats, he eats, and he eats, and he never stops." The doctor dismisses Laura's concern and replies, "Growing boys eat... we'll see you in six months." The doctor should order additional tests. Blood tests can show "false negatives" and the appropriate blood tests may not have been ordered in the first place. (00:04:25 - 00:05:18)

Megalodon: The Frenzy picture

Factual error: Lieutenant Commander Sharp addresses the crew of the USS King. At the end, he shouts "Semper Fi." Marines say "Semper Fi," not Navy personnel. "Hooyah!" would have been more appropriate. By the way, I don't think bright metal collar insignias are worn with the blue camo uniform. They use subdued rank insignia. But I am not sure.

Continuity mistake: After Marcus moves his coffee cup and glass of water, the water is about its width away from the coffee cup, but is closer when the camera shifts to the opposite side of the table.

You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah picture

Other mistake: When Adam Sandler calls his daughter on a video chat in the car with her friend, the picture of his daughter is not the same as when she is in the car. When they jump between her and him on the call, her hair and background are completely different than they are in the car. (00:23:17)

Just Jake picture

Continuity mistake: At the hair salon, front views of Amber's long, wavy hair vary, although there is an almost consistent loop of hair that extends from her right ear to her coat's collar. Rear views of Amber's head are consistently flat and do not show the loop of hair. (00:21:40 - 00:22:07)
