Continuity mistake: When the girls go to visit Sam's grandma, she has only two glasses of lemonade ready. When she sees the other girls, she says 'Let's find some more glasses.' She's away for about five seconds and comes back with five full glasses. Are we expected to believe she got to the kitchen, got the three extra glasses and filled them with lemonade all in five seconds?
Factual error: Teeny watches Love Story on her roof, in the summer of 1970. However this movie, according to IMDb, was released on the 16th of December 1970. (00:56:50)

Continuity mistake: When Roberta is on the tree branch before she dives, in a frontal shot she is bending down holding onto a branch for support. In a reversal shot she's standing up straight. (00:32:30)
Continuity mistake: In the very first wideshot of the softball game, the batter up is a boy wearing beige shorts and a blue top. Then it cuts to a closeview of the batter, who is suddenly a boy in a red top and brown trousers. (00:51:00)
Continuity mistake: The flowery cloth that the fortune-teller lays out, to put the tarot cards on, is different from when she first lays it out to the wideshot when she lays the murder card down. The roses on the black cloth are in different places and are bigger. (00:49:20 - 00:50:05)
Continuity mistake: When Chrissy is giving birth, she wears a shirt which has many watercolour brushstroke patterns printed on it. Through the birth scene these brushstroke patterns on her shirt vary and change between wideshots, closeups, etc. (01:26:30)
Revealing mistake: After Chrissy punches Roberta, there is a towel visible around Roberta's waist. (00:33:55)
Continuity mistake: When they do their first seance, a storm starts and rain is pouring, so the girls run away, but Sam turns back to look, and the large white candle she holds switches hands between shots, and the cloths she's holding change position. (00:24:20)

Answer: There are two different men named Peter. In the shot of the newspaper while Roberta is reading the article, it states that the driver of the pickup truck was Peter Norris (00:41:35). Then Sam finds the article about 12 year old Jonathan Simms and his mother, Beverly Ann, so we know that "Crazy Pete" is Peter Simms (00:43:00).
