Creepshow (1982)

Goofs

Creepshow

Edit

Continuity

(at around 1 min) Before he is slapped in the Prologue segment, Billy already has red slap marks painted on his face.
(at around 14 mins) When Hank enters the graveyard to look for Aunt Bedelia, the hanging lantern (which Bedelia had previously hit her hat on) has now gone.
(at around 42 mins) Sand on Harry's face disappears and reappears between shots as Richard buries him.
The direction the Popov vodka bottle faces changes between shots in the second segment of the film, "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill".
(at around 47 mins) As Richard hurriedly drives his Jeep away from Harry's buried head, the back window is swung up. With the tide quickly coming in, he must hurry. As Richard approaches his house, the window is down. On this model of Jeep, the spare tire must be swung away from the window in order to close it.

Factual errors

(at around 13 mins) In the segment "Father's Day" - which purportedly takes place on Father's Day (which is in June) - it is already completely dark outside by 7 pm. By this time in June it wouldn't be completely dark outside until much later in the evening.
(at around 21 mins) In "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill", the impact zone around the meteorite would have been oblong since the trajectory of the meteor was at an angle. The perfectly round shape featured implies an impact perpendicular to the Earth.
In the "Something to Tide You Over" segment, the images shown on Richard Vickers' many video screens contain dirt and scratches, as if projected film footage is being displayed. However, this is supposed to be footage from live surveillance cameras---the image shown should be a clean video feed.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

(at around 1h 50 mins) In "They're Creeping Up On You," Upson Pratt smashes a cockroach with the butt of his gloved fist (in a close-up), and in the next shot his white glove is clean as he looks at it. If he is imagining the roaches, as the movie implies, the glove would be clean.
(at around 2 mins) During the Prologue, Stan sits down in the lounge room with a glass of beer. There is a brief cut to Billy's room and then back to the lounge. When it cuts back to lounge, there is more beer in Stan's glass than when he sat down.

He could have topped up his glass during the cut-away.
(at around 1h 5 mins) In the segment "The Crate", when Henry "shoots" Billie, the hole in her forehead appears one frame after the blood spray comes from the back of her head.

This is a fantasy sequence, so the normal rules do not apply.
During "The Crate" sequence the actress who plays Wilma can clearly be seen multiple times breaking character and cracking a smile.

This is deliberate as Wilma is smirking at her hapless husband and those around her whom she also has no respect for.
(at around 34 mins) In "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill", Jordy speaks with a monster voice and it is implied to have been because of the alien plant possession of him, but is obvious that not only does the person in the suit not speak but it's clear that the voice was dubbed in later.

By that point Jordy's vocal cords could possibly no longer function and what we are hearing are his thoughts.

Revealing mistakes

(at around 47 mins) During the segment "Something to Tide You Over," the hole that Wentworth is buried in shakes unrealistically when he yells for Richard to stop.
(at around 52 mins) In "Something to Tide You Over", when Richard goes to the beach after the couple has drowned, he picks up a bucket. He takes it out of the wet sand, yet he empties obvious dry sand from it.
(at around 21 mins) Letters appear in the Creepshow comic book, despite the fact that it is mentioned that this is the first issue.
(at around 12 mins) In the first segment, when the zombie rises from the grave you can see that he is simply wearing mask over his real face, and for the remainder of the segment it is very obvious.
(at around 34 mins) When you see the close-up shot of Jordy with a shotgun, it's clear that he is just wearing a costume to cover his body to look like the plant in that segment and the suit bends like there is a hidden body in it.

Audio/visual unsynchronised

(at around 1h 2 mins) During "The Crate", when Wilma is making a fool of herself at the luncheon, she says the line "Whoever that etiquette crotch is." Not only does the line barely match the movement of her lips, the line is said in a voice that doesn't quite match Adrienne Barbeau's. Internet research reveals the original line was "Whoever that etiquette c**t is," but was changed in post-production at the request of Warner Bros.

Crew or equipment visible

(at around 1h 18 mins) In "The Crate" when Fluffy jumps on Charlie, you can see a few wires in the final frames of the shot.

Plot holes

It is impossible to believe that the thing in the crate could live without food or water for almost 150 years, especially since the crate was chained up and there was no way for it to get out.
