Peter Cushing in Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965)

Goofs

Dr. Terror's House of Horrors

Edit

Continuity

In 'Creeping Vine' during the showing films of types of plants in the office, you see Alan Freeman next to the projector with the white end of the roll of the film about to spool through; the camera cuts away and then the camera is back on the projector with the feeder reel full of film again..
In the first story, Jim Dawson is dressed in a green top whilst working in the cellar. in the next scene he is filmed undressing for bed but is wearing a collared shirt and tie.

(Assuming Dawson did not work straight through to bedtime he would have undoubtedly washed himself and changed to a clean shirt and tie before mealtime.)
In the first segment, Jim Dawson is in the basement of this creepy old mansion. He has to go find some tools. Any tools he may find in the tool shed would indeed show signs of age as well, yet he comes back with a mallet and flashlight that appear to be brand new.
When Dr. Shreck arrives in front of the train carriage the window is all fogged up, but it wasn't a few moments before when the last man entered.
When Jim Dawson is talking to Mrs. Biddulph in the evening, he is left of her, but appears in front of her in the very next shot.

Factual errors

Contrary to what is implied, in Tarotmancy the thirteenth card showing Death is generally interpreted to indicate a positive change.
The cast board the train and it appears to be a pre-1948 compartment carriage, non-gangway stock in British railway parlance. But by 1965 the few remaining carriages of this type were used on local services only and would not be seen on an express which the train is implied to be.

Revealing mistakes

When Mrs. Deirdre Biddulph tells Dawson that she wants a particular wall knocked down and would it be a problem, he answers no but the presence of a fireplace means that there must be a chimney so surely that would cause a problem.
The door to Dr. Bob Carroll's (Donald Sutherland) house is typically British, although in the beginning of his story Dr. Carroll says he brought his new bride to his home in New England in the United States. This style of front door would never been seen on a home in the U.S.
In the first story the candles are supposed to be producing the light in the cellar, but the light is too strong and it's obviously that a studio light is present.

Miscellaneous

Johnny Ellis fails to wake up when Dr. Blake fires a pistol in his bedroom.
Hopkins stands next to the windows where the plants are and he is clearly smoking a pipe as he exhales smoke, then he lights it as if it was not already lit.

Plot holes

Franklyn Marsh does not touch the deck three times as is necessary according to Dr Terror around the beginning of the movie.
Dr Blake suggests Nicole was scared off when he made the sign of a cross with his arms, but he is also a vampire and was untroubled by the symbol.

(Blake's story should not be so readily believed since he's a vampire. Aside from the fact that he was looking away when he crossed his arms, if any & every 'crossed' symbol affected a vampire then they'd have to avoid most doors, windows & street corners, nor could they read the letter 't' without hissing & whisking cape to face. No, most likely Nicole fled Dr. Blake because she knew he was a fellow vampire like herself. This is corroborated by how coldly she reacted to him when they were originally introduced.)
The vampires in the fifth segment are seen freely walking about in the daylight rather than in the protection of coffins, as vampire legends dictate.
