Episode One (Pilot) (series 1, episode 1)

Edit

Mistake Factual error: Willie opens the secret room in the Collins family mausoleum, and a flock of bats flies out. It's a hidden chamber that's been sealed (without even small openings - it's imprisoning a vampire) for 200 years. There'd be no way for the bats to get in. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Episode Two (series 1, episode 2)

Edit

Mistake Continuity: When Julia comes to the Old House to confront Barnabas, Willie lights a tier of four candles, but one goes out again, leaving only three burning. In full shot, candle 4 remains unlit. In a close-up from the same angle, candle 4 is burning and 3 is unlit. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Edit

Mistake Continuity: When an entranced Daphne leaves the house, she opens just one of the two French doors. When Joe and Deputy Harker wake up to find her missing, both the doors are standing open. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Episode Three (series 1, episode 3)

Edit

Mistake Continuity: Julia holds up the hypodermic before injecting Barnabas, and the hypo is half full of green fluid. In the next shot, as she starts to inject him, it's completely full. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Episode Five (series 1, episode 5)

Edit

Mistake Revealing: The mirror over Barnabas' mantel hangs flush against the wall. Yet when he shatters it, the candlestick he throws can be seen to go through the glass instead of bouncing back as it should have done. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Episode Six (series 1, episode 6)

Edit

Mistake Revealing: A vampire-entranced Carolyn uses a butcher knife to push open Julia Hoffman's bedroom door. The wood is otherwise pristine, but near the knife's point, you can see scratch marks left by the knife during previous takes. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Edit

Mistake Continuity: When Angelique's wailing spirit appears above the stairs, Willie is standing on the same level as Julia with his arm around her. In the very next shot, he's one step down from her with one hand on her shoulder. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Episode Seven (series 1, episode 7)

Edit

Mistake Continuity: When Victoria first arrives in 1790, she "translates" the three mystic symbols on her dress label for Abigail, saying that they mean "Machine Wash, Tumble Dry and Low Iron." But when Abigail shows the dress to Reverend Trask, she tells him that Victoria told her the symbols meant "Tumble Dry, Low Iron and Permanent Press." Victoria never mentioned Permanent Press. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Edit

Mistake Continuity: During his fight with Barnabas, Jeremiah suffers a cut to his cheek just to the right of his mouth. The next morning at their duel, the cut has moved up higher and is now at his cheekbone. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Episode Nine (series 1, episode 9)

Edit

Mistake Continuity: When Barnabas enters Josette's room, the door is painted white. When he leaves and Natalie follows, the door has changed to varnished wood. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Edit

Mistake Continuity: At the kitchen table, Willie grabs his milk and starts gulping it down. When the camera angle changes, there's more milk in the glass than there was in the previous shot. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Episode Ten (series 1, episode 10)

votemap vote up vote down

Edit

Mistake Revealing: Willie kneels beside Barnabas' coffin in the secret room. The only opening is the single door behind him, but the light source for the lightning flashes illuminating the room comes from behind the camera, where there should be nothing but a solid wall. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Episode Twelve (series 1, episode 12)

votemap vote up vote down

Edit

Mistake Continuity: When Joshua says that he won't send Naomi away because Collinwood is her home, the actor mispronounces the mansion's name as "Collingwood." Definitely not a character choice: Joshua, who founded the Collins family dynasty, would neither forget nor mispronounce the name of his own estate. (Time) Submitted by Jean G
