Rent-a-Groom picture

Continuity mistake: "Gramms" (Maggie Westmoreland) lifts her cup of coffee using both hands and takes a sip. By the time she lowers her cup to the table, her glass of water goes from over half-full to less than half-full. Nobody refills the glass, but it is back to over half-full. Thereafter, the level of water in the glass alternates after almost every view of Tracey. (00:02:05)

Love by Design picture

Continuity mistake: Lily has 4-5 stacked pancakes on her plate, including a half-eaten one on top. After she pours syrup on the stack, there are suddenly 7-8 pancakes, arranged differently. Lily may have time to cut 1-2 pancakes into pieces, but nobody is close enough to the table to add any pancakes to account for the increase. (00:04:40 - 00:05:03)

Tales of the Fantastic picture

Continuity mistake: The remote-controlled truck heads towards a long, square-shaped wall (or landscape edging), about as high as the truck. As the truck gets closer, the wall becomes a partially buried long pipe. The truck more easily goes over the less-exposed round pipe. (00:07:38)

Tell Me a Creepy Story picture

Continuity mistake: [Story 4: The Good Word] The sides of Ma Taggart's hair change, from varying degrees of frizziness to defined curls. While she talks to Ivan, rear views show one distinct, wide curl of bangs on her right side, but front views show frizzier hair. After she serves tea and sits, the left side of her hair also changes, to two more distinct loops around her ear (which are later more relaxed). (01:12:37 - 01:15:24)

Carnage Collection: Bloody Big Top picture

Continuity mistake: Before "The Bailiff" shocks Killjoy in the chair, the skin above Killjoy's left lip is visible, not painted solid white like the rest of his face. Going down the elevator, that section of his mouth is uniformly painted white. (00:20:55 - 00:22:32)

Book Club: The Next Chapter picture

Revealing mistake: Vivian talks on the phone as she walks towards the camera. A couple walks behind her in the opposite direction. A bicyclist emerges from the left-center side of the screen and heads straight across the path, perpendicularly towards the couple. The bicyclist "disappears" behind Vivian, just before he reaches (crashes into) the couple, and the camera cuts to Carol. Seconds later, Vivian still walks towards the screen, and a different person walks where the couple was. (00:14:38)

Continuity mistake: In the rear view of the picture frames on the desk, the frames are closer together and aligned in a somewhat semi-circular pattern, but are spread out and staggered in the front view. At first, it appears a gap in time can possibly explain the rearranged frames (Rock is opening mail), but a rear view while he is still reading his mail shows the frames arranged like they originally were. (00:03:25 - 00:03:51)

The Christmas Venue picture

Continuity mistake: Cait plays the "forehead game" and correctly guesses that she is "snow". Cait apparently removes the paper from her forehead (off-screen). The timer bell rings, and the paper is on Cait's forehead as if she does not take it off. (00:57:28 - 00:58:08)
