Revealing mistake: As zombie Freddy breaks down the door of the chapel, where he has been locked in, he rolls over a bench which is barricading the door. As he lays flat on the ground, about to get up, his shirt lifts up and you can see that not all of his stomach has been painted with "zombie skin color". (01:10:00)

Revealing mistake: When the guys are putting the bench in front of the door to keep Freddy inside the Chapel, the bench lands on Ernie's foot and breaks it. The bench never even touches his foot.

Trivia: Not a mistake, just a case of very bad luck that not many realize: In an attempt to escape the infamous "Tar man" zombie, Tina runs up the stairs. She ends up falling through the bad stair, mentioned earlier in the picture. Now think back to the beginning, after Freddy and Frank breathe the gas from the tank. Frank runs over and pukes under the stairs. So, not only is Tina being pursued by a brain hungry zombie, she also takes a high fall, and lands in cold puke.
