When Nell is in the study, the photo album of Crane opens. It then nearly falls so she grabs it. As she grabs it you can see the page has a picture on it, of two people's face very close up. But in the next closeup of the same page, the picture has changed and it is now Crane standing alone in the centre of the picture. See more...
When Eleanor is in her bedroom, look in the mirror: both times you see children heads or portraits. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
When Luke goes to look for Theo, why does he leave through the doors of hell to the outside? Certainly she wouldn't be outside. [This mistake is dreadful. Luke exits the room through the doors of hell (and he probably doesn't know they're the doors of hell anyway - the girls never told him) - so please, help me out here - HOW is this a mistake. He's going to look for Theo - how would he know where she is? How do YOU know that she "certainly wouldn't be outside?"]

When Theo and Nell are taken into their room for the first time Theo does a front flip onto her bed, but lands facing backward. [This is what I thought at first, when I watched it normally. But if you watch in slow-motion, you can see in the wide-shot she flips and then starts to fall facing backwards. Then it cuts to a closeup of he landing on her back. It's just that she does the flip so quickly, and the angle cuts instantly, it's hard to spot.]

In the scene where Luke, Theo, Nell and Dr. Marrow are attempting to escape Hill House, Luke runs to borrow Nell's car in order to ram the gates. In a subsequent shot, a rather large SUV is also parked within the gates; why choose the lighter, less-powerful vehicle? [This is a character's decision - not a movie mistake.]

When Dr Marrow goes to rescue Nell to the top of the spiral stairs, at the end of the scene, they leave the greenhouse through a door on top of the stairs. It would have been much easier for him to go rescue her from the top, while Theo and Luke talked to her as a diversion to avoid her from throwing herself off. [This is a character's decision, not a movie mistake. Anyway, Dr. Marrow did not know that the house would unscrew the bolts and untwine the wires holding the metal staircase in order to kill him, so he probably thought climbing the staircase would be easier.]

When Nell removes the glass from Marrow's hand, the glass clearly isn't big enough to be inside the skin, furthermore it wouldn't make a wound of that size. [Being glass, it could have shattered on entry, making a larger wound, but only leaving a small piece inside.]
When Eleanore sees the ghost in the window, she chucks a large metal box. It breaks the window and the ghost spits all the razor sharp shards of glass back at her. She is hit, but later on she is not bleeding or complaining about pain. [How do we know this isn't a ghostly illusion? Seems all that glass was gone when everyone else gets to the room.]

When Nell follows the footprints, outside her room, the footprints are farther apart, but before she gets to the book case, they are close together. [This would actually make sense if the person leaving the footprints was running. Footprints of someone running are farther apart than someone walking. Yet, when approaching the bookcase, one would automatically slow down, thus the footprints getting closer together.]
From inside the house, the windows are gothic, from the outside they look square. [There are so many different shots of windows, both inside and outside, and it's impossible to tell which correspond to which.]
Why did Theo and Dr Marrow walked away through the road in the end? The closest village is 9 miles away, and they left their cars and personal stuff in the house. [Seriously. Would you want to go back in the House after all the fun hauntings and such?]
The big lion head that falls from the fireplace disappears in the next shot. [It goes back up into the chimney.]
Nell watches Theo's car from her room window, however from the outside, we later see that that's where the main hall should be. [If you read the book, it describes the layout of the house. Hugh Crain hated normal angles and such, so he had the house built oddly. From the inside, you would be able to watch the car; but from the outside it would seem like it should be the main hall.]
At night when the bloody footprints go call Nell, there are only footprints going out of the room. But the children had to go in anyway. [The children are ghosts, they don't have to leave footprints if they don't want to. The only reason they leave the trail in the first place is to serve as a guide to Nell, so the footprints are only going to go one way - make a trail, as it were.]
