Trivia: The sets were built with a technique called "forced perspective." Only some of the buildings and streets were standard sized, but as they went further into the distance, they became smaller and smaller. When viewed through the camera, this creates the illusion that the sets are larger than they actually were. It's very noticeable during the song "Feels Like Christmas." When the camera cranes up at the end, you can actually see some of the actors are almost as tall as the background "houses."

Trivia: It was Margot Robbie's idea to appear nude in the doorway. She was scripted to be wearing a slinky robe, but Robbie felt that her character would not wear a robe, reasoning that her character's body was her "form of currency" and that she'd exploit that to "lay her cards on the table."

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the very first shot, we can see there's a man with a dark coat, sunglasses, short hair and earbuds standing directly in front of the dean. When it cuts to the opposite angle, he's no longer there. When it cuts back to the first angle a few shots later, he's suddenly back.

Continuity mistake: When Brigitte pries the photo of the werewolf out of her Polaroid camera, in the first shot, her hands are extremely pink/red. (I'm not sure if it's the lighting, or if it's meant to be blood from cleaning off her sister.) Regardless, the color is very obvious. When it cuts to a closeup of her hands holding the photo, suddenly, he skin is perfectly white and not pink. It cuts back to the first angle, and they are very pink/red again. Clearly the closeup shot was filmed at a different time.

Continuity mistake: When Ginger and Brigitte are buying tampons, when Brigitte says "This one comes with a free calendar" she turns around to look at Ginger. The way she is holding the box of tampons and her laptop (I think that's a laptop?) changes instantly between cuts. Ginger also moves about a foot or two back between the same cut.

Continuity mistake: When Jason is trying to get Ginger to smoke with him at the store, he leans in and says " nothing quite takes the edge off like a good toke!" His face is only about 4-5" from her face to her left. It then cuts to another angle, and we see he's longer that close to her in fact he's not even onscreen, meaning he moved back instantly at least a foot between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Ginger and Brigitte get home after Ginger is attacked by the werewolf, the amount and pattern of the blood on Ginger (especially around her face) changes from when they first enter the living room door, to when it cuts to Ginger being laid down on the bed.

Visible crew/equipment: When Ginger and Brigitte find the dead dog in the park while they're going to prank the mean-girl, there's a dramatic shot where the camera moves between them and tilts down to reveal the dog. When this happens, you can blatantly see the shadow of the camera move over Ginger's back/arm.

Trivia: Director John Landis had issues with the script, but felt he and Eddie Murphy could make it work through comedy. However, Landis was shocked to learn that Murphy wanted to play Axel much straighter-edge, reasoning that he was older and less risky and rambunctious. Thus, Murphy would side step around comedic bits rather than play them up. Landis has said that Murphy was very professional and that he likes parts of the movie, but sees it as an "odd film" since it just wasn't very funny.

Trivia: Alan Tudyk had pitched an idea for an episode where his character Wash, who was essentially the comic relief, would be revealed to be covered in prison tattoos, implying him to be quite a badass warrior. But it would then humorously later be explained that he actually accidentally got imprisoned due to his own mistake, and had a good time there, where he would entertain other inmates by telling stories with shadow-puppets. And he just got the tattoos on a lark while imprisoned.

Trivia: Robert Eggers often had co-star Ralph Ineson direct child actor Harvey Scrimshaw during filming. Eggers has no children of his own, and wasn't sure how to communicate with the young actor. So Eggers would describe the scene, and Ineson, a father with two children, would then reinterpret his direction in a way Scrimshaw could understand. (Often by relating it to sports, since Scrimshaw is a huge soccer fan, and literally "coaching" him like a soccer coach).

Trivia: It's shown that there is mold growing on the family's corn. If you look close, the mold is a specific type called ergot. Ergot poisoning can cause severe symptoms including hallucinations, irrational behavior and death. Director Robert Eggers has said this was a purposeful choice, as he left clues for different possible interpretations of the film. If audiences want to believe the supernatural elements, they can. Alternately, they could chalk it up to ergot poisoning driving the family insane.

Trivia: While Christine is a Plymouth Fury, many of the cars used on the production weren't. Many of them were similar-looking cars that were simply made up to resemble a Fury. Only a few actual Plymouth Fury's were used. (Mostly for glory-shots, closeups, etc).

TedStixon

Trivia: Only three known "Christine" cars still exist, and only one of them is a proper Plymouth Fury. The lone Fury currently resides at the Rochester Auto Museum in Upstate, New York. It is valued as high as $500,000 due to its notoriety.

Revealing mistake: When the flaming "general" spider is killed, there's several mistakes. When it leaps, it suddenly "freezes" in mid-air for a second before the nail hits it. Then, when we see the nail hit it, you can see a wire attached to it, plain as day, to yank it back. Then, when it hits the egg-sack, you can see several fake spiders attached to it, which don't move at all. Then the egg sack catches on fire, but the flames come from behind the sack, even though the general hit the front.

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, Serena approaches the man to buy the puzzlebox. He pulls the cigarette out of his mouth and exhales smoke, which mostly dissipates. The scene then cuts to the opposite angle, and suddenly, more smoke appears in the air between edits.

Trivia: One of the major issues that stalled this reboot and kept it from being made earlier was that executives at Miramax, who owned the rights at the time, wanted to tone the franchise down and make the movie PG-13 so it could appeal to teenagers. None of the writers or directors attached wanted to make a PG-13 "Hellraiser," and many exited the project over this bizarre and insane mandate. Once Clive Barker got the rights back, production moved forward on this (very) R-rated installment.

Continuity mistake: When Kirsty goes into the storage room (where the corpse spews maggots onto her), she has a large bloodstain on her face. Inside, she sweats most of the blood off her face, leaving only a slightly discolored red stain. But then, when she exits the room, suddenly a lot of the blood has re-appeared on her face. I'm assuming they filmed her entering and exiting the door at one time, and her inside the room another time, causing the inconsistency.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: In the beginning when the mom discovers the dead body of her dog, she walks in front of an outdoor playhouse in a wideshot. It then cuts to a medium shot of her screaming. Between shots, she is suddenly standing in a different spot entirely... she goes from standing in front of the corner of the playhouse, to being dead center in front of it. She also seems to be several feet closer to it.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: During the dinner scene in the beginning, when Ginger says "Maybe it's cancer of the spine!" her hand (which was down on the table) is suddenly up by her face instantly between cuts.
