Revealing mistake: In the opening scene where the zombie kills Johnny. When they fall against the tombstone you can tell it is a dummy.

Visible crew/equipment: When Ben first arrives at the house, a zombie tries to get in through a door in the kitchen. Ben fights it off and tries to push it out the door. Initially, when he first closes the door on the zombie, the relfection of the cameraman is seen as clear as day in the window of the door.

Continuity mistake: When Cooper goes upstairs to get the TV set, in the room, the power cord hangs a little bit. Next shot, in the hallway, the same cord is on the TV set, not hanging at all. And in the next shot, when going down the stair, he holds the cord in his hand. (00:57:00)

Continuity mistake: When Cooper is saying its a good idea, you can see a beer can on the piano and Cooper is holding a baseball bat in his right hand. When Barbara says look outside, the next shot Cooper is holding the beer can in his right hand, and the baseball bat in the other. (00:33:55)

Continuity mistake: When Ben has dispatched the first Zombie out of the door and turns to Barbara, there is blood on his shirt near the shoulder. Yet when he takes off his jacket the shirt is clean, only for the blood to reappear again when he is walking towards the windows. (00:13:50)

Visible crew/equipment: When Ben runs over the zombie as he approaches the house with his truck, if you watch closely you can see the wires attached to the dummy prop that were making it stand up suddenly whip upward. It is actually much easier to see while the film is running at full speed, rather than pause or slow motion.

Visible crew/equipment: When Ben is talking with Cooper, standing up saying he doesn't like him, you can see the microphone over his head. (00:32:00)

Factual error: Barbara has blood drip on her in the first scene when she enters the house. Later that night, Ben starts upstairs but Barbara stops him and points to the blood dripping from the ceiling... the blood would have dried and clotted in the time that it first dripped on Barbara and the time that Ben Starts upstairs.

Continuity mistake: After the sequence where Ben tells Barbara she is losing it and then comforts Judy Rose, we see Barbara reloading a shotgun and Ben in the background nailing a white door in the next room. After it cuts to a shot of Judy and Tom nailing another door, we see Ben knock over a table while holding and putting in place the same door he had previously been nailing the window shut with. (00:53:30)

Sheriff McClelland: Yeah, they're dead. They're all messed up.

Trivia: Tom Savini was ordered by the MPAA to tone down the gore in the film, which really wasn't that much in the first place. Watch 'The Dead Walk' documentary on the DVD to see several deleted scenes that were ommitted due to gore.
