Continuity: While Mary and Linden are having a cup of coffee in Mary's room, Linden is holding a bottle and is about two feet away from Mary. Immediately after he says "thinking like that don't it give you nightmares?" he is sitting closer to Mary and his left arm is level on top of the sofa.

Other: At the very beginning of the film, when the two cars are along side each other, the man wearing the hat leans out of the car window to challenge the women in the other car to a race, watch out for when he speaks, you can see that his words don't match his mouth movements - he's talking out of sync.

Continuity: When Mary gets off the organ just after being dismissed by the minister, she is wearing black shoes and a headscarf as she goes down the stairs. When she gets outside to meet Mr Linden, she is wearing white shoes and the headscarf is in her hand.

Other: Just after Mary sees the old pavilion for first time and the ghoulish face in the window, her car goes off the road, as she reverses the car back onto the road, the interior light above her head is not lit, but when she drives the car forward, the light above her head is now switched on.

Continuity: During the finale where Mary is being chased out of the pavilion and onto the beach by the ghoulish figures, she is wearing shoes (white) but when she is out on the sand and falls down she is barefoot. Presumably it was difficult for the actress who plays Mary (Candace Hilligoss) to run on the sand wearing high heels, so therefore it was easier to run on the sand barefoot.

Continuity: When Mary takes her car to the garage the mechanic raises the car up on the ramp to the height of six feet approximately, with Mary still sitting inside the car. She then has one of her nightmares, when she wakes up in a state of panic a few minutes later, the ramp is now level with the floor and she is able to drive the car straight out of the garage.

Continuity: At the beginning of the film, when the two cars are along side each other at the traffic lights: Watch the right hand of the man wearing the white hat as he leans out of the car window - a cigarette magically appears in his hand in between shots.
