Continuity mistake: In "Lover's Vow", as Preston evaluates the deep, nasty scars he has on his chest from his encounter with the gargoyle, he turns away from the mirror for Carola to tend the wounds. But, when Carola starts treating the wounds, the deep wounds are now shallow streaks of blood rather than deep scars.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where the hitman is chasing the cat around the pool table, you can see the shadow of a tennis racquet on the floor as if being followed as a distraction for the cat to follow.

More quotes from Tales from the Darkside: The Movie

Trivia: George A. Romero wrote the screenplay for the segment "Cat From Hell," so director John Harrison put two references to Romero's work into this film as a kind of payment. In "Lot 249" when Lee is lying on the couch and the TV is on, it is playing Dawn of the Dead. Later on in the film, in "Cat from Hell," Halston is shown watching the Vampire classic, Martin, directed by Romero. (00:18:30 - 00:52:30)
