Glaring SPFX Blooper in "The Invisible Woman" (1940) (video)

When playing an "invisible" character, actors once wore black body suits...

...and the black-clad parts would be "invisible" against the matted-in backgrounds.

But in this scene from "The Invisible Woman" (1940), there's a brief slip-up...

...and for a few seconds, we're able to see Virginia Bruce's black arm sleeve against her skirt.

MORE:   

H.G. Wells’ “The Invisible Man” stars Claude Rains as a mysterious scientist who discovers a serum that makes him invisible. Covered by bandages and dark glasses, the scientist arrives at a small English village and attempts to hide his amazing discovery. He soon realizes, however, that the same drug which renders him invisible is slowly driving him insane and capable of committing unspeakable acts of terror. Directed by James Whale, the horror classic features groundbreaking special effects by John P. Fulton that inspired many of the techniques that are still used today.  

 
"Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright." In 1941, “The Wolf Man” introduced the world to a new Universal movie monster, and the mythology of the werewolf was redefined forever.

Featuring Lon Chaney Jr. and groundbreaking make-up by Jack Pierce, this story of a cursed man who transforms into a deadly werewolf when the moon is full has not only become a masterpiece of the horror genre but of all time.

The Invisible Man Becomes Visible Again (3 Reveals) (video)

In the "Invisible Man" series, one of the highlights is sometimes the reveal of the title character's face at the end.

In "The Invisible Man" (1933), it's the first time in the movie that we see Claude Rains' face.

Again, Vincent Price's face is revealed for the first time at the end of "The Invisible Man Returns" (Universal, 1940).

In "Abbott & Costello Meet The Invisible Man" (Universal-International, 1951) we've already seen Arthur Franz's face, but it's still interesting to watch him become visible again.

Footprint Blooper in "The Invisible Man" (Universal, 1933) (video)

In order to remain invisible, Jack Griffin (Claude Rains) must run around stark naked at all times...

...even when the weather outside is frightful.

But in a climactic scene, the footprints he leaves in the snow...

...are clearly those of a man wearing shoes.
