⇓

Continuity: When the witches take Dani back to the museum, the rope they use to tie her up with changes from shot to shot. First it's up around her neck, then it's around her chest.

⇓

Other: At Allison's party after she gets Max and herself a drink. One shot shows her going to take a drink, but next shot from behind she takes up the cup again and drinks.

⇓

Continuity: When Max and Allison rescue Dani from the witches' house, they turn on the car lights to trick the witches into thinking it is daylight. After they get in the car and drive off, the same light that was supposed to have come from the headlight is still shining after they have left.

⇓

Continuity: There is a scene when Max and his girlfriend are awakening from their slumber to a room filled with early morning sunlight, but when they open Winifred's magic book, and the beam of light shoots from the rooftop, it is clearly still before dawn.

⇓

Factual error: Just after the towns-people have hung the three witches, you can see the executioner walking away. They outfit he is wearing is leather and has some sort of metal spikes on it. This outfit is too modern for that particular time.

⇓

Factual error: The Sanderson House had been turned into a museum complete with a gift counter. The museum had been closed for years (note the dust and spider webs). The fluid in the lighter max gets would have evaporated after a few months as Zippos are not airtight like a plastic disposable lighter would be.

⇓

Other: When the two hoodlums are hanging from the ceiling in cages, Mary Sanderson said they would be good with margarine. 300 years ago butter would be the topping of choice as margarine hadn't been invented yet.

⇓

Other: At the beginning of the film, Winifred's lipstick is small and in the middle of her upper and lower lip. However, as the scenes progress, her lipstick is bigger and she had no time to apply more lipstick- this is before the sisters are hung.

⇓

Factual error: When the witches chase Max, Dani, and Allison out of the party, they chase them into an alley. Mary tells Winifred that she smells scrod. Then says that they used margarine on it, but they didn't have margarine back then.

Continuity: In the last scene in the graveyard, when Max is glowing and hanging off of Winifred's broomstick, his hands constantly go from a far to short distance away from the end of the broom between shots.

⇓

Factual error: Binx is shown pouring hot liquid from a cauldron that is over a flame, the iron would be too hot for him to touch without getting burned.

Revealing: Right before the witches burst through the roof of Max's house, after they retrieve the book, you can see the charge used to set off the explosion in the window just below where they exit.

⇓

Continuity: At the beginning of the movie, after the witches suck the life out of Emily, Winifred looks in a mirror and says, "Well . . . younger," and her green jacket, with a hood, is on her. In the next shot, when she says, "But, it's a start," she is not wearing her jacket at all.

⇓

Continuity: When Winifred turns to stone in the graveyard, her fingernails rip shreds of cloth off of Max's sweatshirt (you can see them when he falls). Exactly one minute later, when he is lying down next to Dani and talking to her, it is clear that his sweatshirt is merely ripped, not shredded.

Other: When Mary goes to save Winifred, there is no cord coming from the Hoover. However, next scene shows Dani, Allison and Billy grab a medium sized cord. Next scene then shows the cord much much much bigger.

Factual error: The film is set on Halloween (31st October) 1993. At the start of the film, Max is shown at school on Halloween. However, Halloween 1993 was actually a Sunday.
