Corrected entry: After Karen finds Terry's corpse, she goes to the desk and tries the phone. She then walks back over, and now Eddie is under the sheet. How could he have removed Terry's body, and got under there, firstly in such a short time, and secondly, with Karen hearing any noise whatsoever? (01:03:20 - 01:04:10)

Correction: Werewolves are supernatural beings with some supernatural skills. One of them seems to be an ability to sneak up on a person unnoticed and making no sound whatsoever, as proven by many similar incidents throughout the film. Besides, in this particular scene, Karen is distracted by strange loud noises and has turned her back just long enough for Eddie to act.
