Mistake Continuity: When Kristen falls into the quicksand, there's a shot of her from behind, and her back is covered in quicksand, although her back hasn't been in the sand yet.

Mistake Continuity: When Freddy push Kristen into the quicksand you see only her hand sticking up. Then in the next shot suddenly you see her hair.

Mistake Continuity: The hole in the roof which Kristen makes when she falls through the roof changes size between the shots.

Mistake Continuity: When the nib of Shelia's pen starts bleeding on her test, the pool of blood on her paper moves between shots.

Mistake Continuity: When Sheila's pen starts to bleed, she puts it down on her desk, with the lid off. In the next shot there's a lid on it, and the pen has also changed it position. Her inhaler has also changed position.

Mistake Continuity: When Freddy is reaching out to take Sheila's glasses off, you can see that the palm and index finger of his hand aren't scarred at all from what was supposed to be an all-consuming fire.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: After Freddy 'sucks' Sheila, Freddy says "You flunked", then it cuts to Alice trying to get out from her desk. Under her desk you can see someones fingers briefly.

Mistake Revealing: When Shelia is dying, Alice is trying to help her, but she is 'thrown' to the floor. Then there is another shot of Shelia, and you clearly see a pulse in her neck, although she's meant to be dead.

Mistake Continuity: When Dan is talking to Alice there is a piece of paper in front of him on the table. In the next shot it's gone.

Mistake Continuity: At Rick's funeral, Debbie gives Alice her spike bracelet. The spikes are flat and there aren't that many of them, but at the end when Alice is getting decked out to fight Freddy she pulls the bracelet out of her drawer, and the spikes are very menacing looking and there are more of them.

Mistake Revealing: After her brother's death, there is a scene in which Alice starts practicing with her brother's nun-chuks. They never show the real actress doing the tricks; instead, they cut to an angle from behind her and show a double who has darker, shorter hair than the real actress and is a bit bigger.

Mistake Continuity: When Alice is in the cinema she has a drink of coke. The Coke has a plastic lid on it. But when Alice turns around to investigate the strong winds, there is no plastic lid on the Coke. Then in the next shot the plastic lid is back on it.
