Visible crew/equipment: When Horace Pinker pushes the lady in the park, you can see a hand waiting to catch her as she falls back. The hand is visible in the bottom right corner of the screen. (01:00:50)
Visible crew/equipment: In the opening scene where Johnathon is playing football, he's running with the ball right before he is tackled. You can see the camera crew's shadows on the grass running with him.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jonathan finds Cooper in the bathroom possessed, Cooper attacks John with a knife in his left hand. As Cooper lunges at him, John slams the door, but Cooper's left hand crashes through with little problem. But, there's no knife. The knife is now in Cooper's right hand. (01:05:42)
Horace Pinker: Come on, boy, let's take a ride in my Volts Wagon.
Trivia: Wes Craven originally intended for "Shocker" to become a franchise, with Horace Pinker becoming the next big slasher-star. However, the studio wasn't happy with the film's mediocre box office returns, and a sequel was never made.
