Elvira, Mistress of the Dark
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Throughout the film Elvira wears her trademark black dress, split to the top of her thigh, and underneath it she always wears black pantyhose. Inexplicably, this changes to black stockings and suspenders when she is undressing for bed on her first night in her new house. (00:31:35)

Other mistake: When Elvira is being chased by her Uncle Vinnie, you can see the hole in his head from where Elvira throws her stiletto at him. However, the hole in his head is apparent 'before' the scene in which she actually throws her stiletto.

Continuity mistake: Gonk's left ear is the one with the ring on it. When Vincent yells at Elvira for not being able to find the cookbook, Gonk growls at Vincent. For that one shot only, the ring switches ears.
