Continuity mistake: While Father Malone is drinking his wine you can still see the cork laying on the table. He finally gets up to try to catch Bennett before he leaves and the cork has mysteriously put itself back into the bottle. (00:05:00 - 00:05:45)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning when Mr Machen is telling the kids stories, the little blonde boy's bobble hat constantly folds up on his head then lies flat, then back again from front shot to side shot. (00:01:37 - 00:02:29)
Continuity mistake: When Stevie Wayne is in her studio and the wood from the Elizabeth Dane starts leaking, there is a clock very prominently in every shot of her. The time constantly jumps back and forth, and in one section it jumps 5 minutes forwards in just two seconds of continuous action on-screen. (00:45:48)
Chosen answer: From what I've gathered from listening to the DVD commentary there is no connection between the six that must die and the original conspirators (Father Malone aside). I've always found it quite silly that fog, which is seen roaring down the streets of town, seems hell bent on getting the main charaters and not bothering anybody else in the town.
If one reads the novelization of the film, it's revealed that the six were descendants of the original six conspirators. Although it wouldn't apply to the movie, it's an interesting plot point.
