Revealing: As zombie Freddy breaks down the door of the chapel, where he has been locked in, he rolls over a bench which is barricading the door. As he lays flat on the ground, about to get up, his shirt lifts up and you can see that not all of his stomach has been painted with "zombie skin color". (Time)
Continuity: When Trash is being attacked by zombies, she is wearing a jacket. However when she comes out of the puddle as a zombie, she is once again fully nude. Submitted by SAZOO1975
Continuity: Earnie splashes the jar of acid on Freddy's face but in a later close up shot, just Freddy's eyes are burned. Submitted by William Bergquist
Visible crew/equipment: At the beginning when Frank is giving Freddy the office tour, you can see camera shadows on the shelves as the camera goes across the aisles following the two men - just after they pack the female skeleton. Submitted by William Bergquist
Revealing: When Ernie catches the zombie eating the paramedic, the paramedic is obviously a rubber doll as indicated by its jiggling fingers. Submitted by William Bergquist

Other: When the zombies are climbing out of their graves, one is seen as a skull that rises, opens its eyes and mouth.

It is more clearly seen when the footage is reused at the end and the shot freezes for the closing credits on the same shot of the skull.
