Unseen picture

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the video call, Emily's camera is aimed directly in front of a large branch/tree trunk that has fallen horizontally. As she scans the log-like branch, Sam's phone shows all upright trees. Even allowing for a reception delay, Sam's phone never shows the log. [The images are even displayed on a split screen.] (00:19:30)

Totally Killer picture

Awareness picture

Continuity mistake: Vicente parks his truck almost to the crosswalk (which extends onto the perpendicular road) and close to the stop sign. He walks along the perpendicular road to the liquor store. Vicente is returning to his truck and turning to the right to go behind the building, but his truck and the stop sign should be several feet straight ahead. Also, the crosswalk no longer extends onto the perpendicular road. (00:00:58 - 00:02:18)

The Devil Comes at Night picture

Continuity mistake: The trees show through the front windows of the house largely have green leaves with subtle signs of starting to transition for autumn. Panning to the back windows, the trees have a distinct, more uniform orange tint (which cannot be attributed to the sun setting behind them). Returning to the front windows, the tree foliage is more fall-like, similar to the orange foliage in the backyard. (00:00:24)

Continuity mistake: Alberto and Alan are walking along a flat road between rows of houses. Alan looks up the road to see where his father "disappears to" and the road ahead is composed of arches along an upgrade. Alan continues running, but not very far, and suddenly there are grades in front and back of him, but the road is flat in the distant (somewhat aerial) view. After Alan runs a little further, the road behind him is arched again. The topography changes too fast and frequently. (00:06:00 - 00:06:50)

Continuity mistake: At the hair salon, front views of Amber's long, wavy hair vary, although there is an almost consistent loop of hair that extends from her right ear to her coat's collar. Rear views of Amber's head are consistently flat and do not show the loop of hair. (00:21:40 - 00:22:07)

Carnage Collection: Bloody Big Top picture

Continuity mistake: Before "The Bailiff" shocks Killjoy in the chair, the skin above Killjoy's left lip is visible, not painted solid white like the rest of his face. Going down the elevator, that section of his mouth is uniformly painted white. (00:20:55 - 00:22:32)

Rent-a-Groom picture

Continuity mistake: "Gramms" (Maggie Westmoreland) lifts her cup of coffee using both hands and takes a sip. By the time she lowers her cup to the table, her glass of water goes from over half-full to less than half-full. Nobody refills the glass, but it is back to over half-full. Thereafter, the level of water in the glass alternates after almost every view of Tracey. (00:02:05)

Love by Design picture

Continuity mistake: Lily has 4-5 stacked pancakes on her plate, including a half-eaten one on top. After she pours syrup on the stack, there are suddenly 7-8 pancakes, arranged differently. Lily may have time to cut 1-2 pancakes into pieces, but nobody is close enough to the table to add any pancakes to account for the increase. (00:04:40 - 00:05:03)

The Nightgown picture

Continuity mistake: The table runner covers the corner of the nightstand and extends 1-2" across the front side. There are notebooks on the opposite side of the shelf below the tabletop. A side view shows the table runner a couple more inches across the front and drapes outward. Only the far corner of the green notebook is visible, but the table runner cannot obstruct that much of a view of the shelf. (00:03:35)
