Continuity mistake: After Mike releases the silver sphere which drilled into the Tall Man's head, the Tall Man lifts Mike up by the neck. As he does this, the flamethrower on the floor behind him disappears between shots. (01:25:10)

Visible crew/equipment: In the white dimension room, the camera operator and equipment is clearly reflected in the black barrels stacked against the walls. (01:23:00)

Hamster ★

Visible crew/equipment: When the silver sphere flies into the Tall Man's head, the black guide wire which led the sphere into his head is plainly visible. (01:24:50)

Hamster ★

Revealing mistake: As Reg fights with one of the baddies with the chainsaws, as the baddie take a swing with the chainsaw he misses and cuts into the wooden door. You can clearly see that a vertical cut has already been made in the wood though, to help the chainsaw get in and cut. (01:17:55)

Hamster ★

Visible crew/equipment: Crew and cameras can be seen reflected in the silver sphere numerous times, especially as the sphere is embedded in the crematory henchman's hand and back. My personal favourite is when the silver sphere flies into the Tall Man's head, in a frontal shot you can see two crewmembers standing by a large grey camera, reflected in the silver ball. (01:25:00)

Hamster ★

Visible crew/equipment: As Liz and Mike struggle with one of the crematory henchman, on the floor you can see two white tape marks which are not there in any other shot. (01:12:55)

Hamster ★

Visible crew/equipment: When the Tall Man's sphere lands on one of the henchman's hands, pinning it against the door, the long thin black wire which guided it to his hand is visible attached to the sphere. (01:13:05)

Hamster ★

Revealing mistake: When Liz hits the marble mausoleum wall, it wobbles like a cheap set wall. (01:12:45)

Hamster ★

Visible crew/equipment: When Mike pushes Liz out of the way of the sphere, you can see a wire on the sphere as it passes, making it 'fly.' (01:12:45)

Hamster ★

Continuity mistake: When Liz's grandmother leans across to check her small bedside clock, her glasses on the desk change from laying lenses down, lenses up, back and forth, etc. (00:35:25)

Hamster ★

Revealing mistake: The grandfather in the coffin can be visibly breathing and blinking in some shots, especially in the scene where the Priest penetrates him with a knife. (00:30:20)

Hamster ★

Continuity mistake: When Reg and Mike break into the hardware store for tools, the items in the trolley keep on changing from shot to shot, and also change position too. (00:14:10)

Hamster ★

Continuity mistake: When Reg and Mike break into the hardware store for tools, Mike puts two torches on the shop of the trolley, and they are side by side, but in the next shot they are spread apart, either corner of the trolley front. (00:13:55)

Hamster ★

Continuity mistake: When Reg and Mike jump out of the bedroom window to escape from the dwarfs, in a wide-shot the white window framing on the sides of the window is broken off. But in a closeup of the dwarfs looking out of the window, the white wooden framing has reappeared on the sides of the window. (00:06:25)

Hamster ★

Continuity mistake: The damage done to the framing around the wardrobe has vanished, when Reg gets upstairs and sees the dwarf dragging Mike out of the wardrobe. (00:03:15)

Hamster ★

Continuity mistake: When Reg hears Mike in trouble upstairs, he puts down his guitar and runs upstairs. The rocking chair which was next to Reg has now gone in this shot, the rack of utensils by the fireplace (poker, shovel etc.) has switched which side of the fireplace it is on, and the logs by the fireplace have changed completely. (00:02:00)

Hamster ★

Continuity mistake: When the Priest keeps hearing the banging noises at the door, he walks over and locks the door. He then goes back to his desk, pours a drink and his bottle of Jack Daniels changes between shots. (00:34:10)

Hamster ★

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the movie, Mike gets sucked into the Phantasm dimension, followed shortly by Reg because he grabs hold of Mike to save him. Reg is left struggling to pull him out, with his feet stopping him from flying into the dimension because they are caught on one of the silver poles. However in a following shot, as the Tall Man carries Liz into the other room, in the background you can see the poles, and Reg's feet are missing from being caught on it. In the next shot we see Reg's feet still caught on the pole, saving him from entering the dimension. (01:23:15)
