Revealing mistake: When the bats invade Dr. Dunwoody's bedroom, you can see the strings on one of them.
Revealing mistake: Phibes' "real" face is a mask. Not only can you see the edges of it around his eyes, but his mouth and teeth look fairly unnatural and like a "solid" piece.

Sgt. Schenley: Well I have discovered they all have one thing in common.
Inspector Trout: If you say they've all died mysteriously I'll bloody kill you.
Question: One of the doctors Phibes blames for his wife's death during an operation is Dr. Hargreaves, whose head is crushed inside a frog mask during a costume ball. But earlier, while introducing himself to Phibes, Dr. Hargreaves says he is a psychiatrist ("headshrinker"). Why would a psychiatrist be present during an operation to save someone's life?
Answer: To treat anticipated shock.
Answer: A psychiatrist is still an M.D., and still went to medical school. Perhaps this one had some knowledge of the case, or was simply on hand to provide assistance.
