Continuity mistake: During the gas mask scene, Elise screams and Specs pulls off his headphones. The headphones knock his glasses off. However in the next shot his glasses are on. But then in the next shot he is picking the glasses up and putting them back on. (00:56:55 - 01:04:15)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Mom and Dad are in bed and there is a loud knocking on the front door, if you look through the window behind the bed, you can see daylight and what looks like a parking lot. When the father is walking down the stairs, the light from outside is blasting through a stained glass window. Then when he goes to the front door, it is pitch black outside. He then turns on the porch light and the bulb burns out. At the end of the scene, they show the entire front of the house, and the porch light is on.

Suggested correction: If by "in the next shot" you meant the scene when Josh dismisses his class, the Billy puppet face is not erased in the shots facing Josh, we just don't see the left side of the blackboard. Note, in wide shots and side shots, to the right of the Billy face we can make out the erased words "new deal" and 2 vertical squiggly lines (map-type drawing). In the shots facing Josh we still see those vertical lines and the word "deal" but the Billy face is simply offscreen, to the left.

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: The mom and dad are discussing things going missing around the house. The coffee table in center frame goes from having one toy snake on top to also having a plush turtle and toy robot on top. Then back to having just the toy snake again. (00:12:17)

Elise Reiner: Who is she?
Elise Reiner: A parasite. She befriended your astral body and lured you into the further just as Dalton has been.

Answer: I don't know for certain, but there is a website called movie-censorship.com that details and contrasts scenes in alternate versions of movies compared to their theatrical releases, and when I checked, they don't have this film listed.
