Joan Collins, Peter Cushing, and Ralph Richardson in Tales from the Crypt (1972)

Goofs

Tales from the Crypt

Edit

Continuity

During most of the "All Through The House" segment, the amount and placement of the blood on the newspaper, the carpet, and Joanne's hands changes between shots.

Factual errors

In "All through the House", the little girl constantly uses the name "Santa Claus", but in Great Britain, Santa Claus is known as Father Christmas.----The name Santa Claus is used extensively in the UK, as well as Father Christmas.

Revealing mistakes

In the sequence "Blind Alleys", when William is shown making his way through the tunnel, the razor blades stuck in the walls repeatedly change from actual razor blades to harmless pieces of paper/plastic from shot to shot.
In segment 5, "Blind Alleys", two of the actors playing blind men look directly at the dog when it starts barking at them and follow it with their eyes even when it stops barking.
In 'Poetic Justice' the neighbours are curious about Grymsdyke's dog constantly barking. And yet when they enter his house via the unlocked door there is no sight or sound of the dog.
In the segment "blind alleys" Roger's facial hair remains the same despite being locked up for days with no access to a razor.
After Enid wishes her husband back to life, only for him to be in constant agony due to being resurrected after having been embalmed, their lawyer addresses her by the actress's name, Barbara.

Miscellaneous

For the face of the Death to be as close as he is in Ralph's rearview mirror, he'd have to be sitting in the back seat, rather than behind the car and on the motorcycle.
The opening credits note that Nicolas Kynaston performs Bach's Toccata & Fugue in D minor on the soundtrack. This is half true. As the credits roll, the Toccata in D minor (BWV 565), almost a cliché in horror movies throughout film history, is heard in its original setting for the pipe organ, and parts of it are heard again for the end credits. The Fugue, however, is not heard anywhere in the film.
In "Blind Alleys", when closeups of the sign for the home for the blind are shown, there appears to be snow on the sign, however, no snow is ever shown on the ground outside.

Audio/visual unsynchronised

In Segment 5, "Blind Alleys", when Major Rogers enters the dining room there is a murmur of conversation, however no one is seen to be speaking.

Crew or equipment visible

Just before Joanne reaches for the phone as she crawls beneath the second window, the reflection of a still photographer can be seen in the window above her. He lifts the camera as if to take a still shot. The scene cuts to a closeup and the view has changed and the reflection is no longer seen. (There is a publicity photo of Joan Collins in existence, crouched under the window holding the phone.)

Plot holes

In the "Wish You Were Here" segment, Enid wishes her husband to back to life forever, but at the end it is revealed that he and the others have gone to a place where those who have died without repenting go.
In the segment 'Wish You Were Here', Enid wishes her husband back from the dead just as he was at the moment before he died. However, when he comes back, it is revealed that he was embalmed. That would have happened some time after he died.-----It was not when she wished him back as he was just before the crash that he came alive in an embalmed state. Enid first wished for a lot of money, and got it when her husband died. When their friend urges her not to wish him back alive, as he was mangled in the crash, she then wishes him back as he was just before the crash, but it turns out that he had died of a heart attack at the wheel. She then makes her third wish, which is to have him alive and living forever, but she did not specify anything else, so he was brought back to life as he was at that moment, after he had been embalmed.
In "Blind Alleys", if the dog had really been locked up in the small room for two days, there should have been some excrement on the floor, but the floor is clean.

Character error

In "Blind Alleys", Rogers doesn't use his jacket to protect his hands from the razor blades.
