Dark Shadows mistake picture

Casual Person

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: After Angelique kisses Barnabas, the lipstick she leaves on his face disappears and reappears between shots.

THGhost

Continuity mistake: When Barnabas stops the disco ball from landing on David, he is set on fire. Willie then chucks a pail of water on him to stop him burning. The next shot shows the bucket Willie holds and there is no trace of water, nor is the bucket wet, even though he'd just used water from the pail to throw at Barnabas. (01:21:00)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: In the aerial sequences of the Amtrack train near to the start of the file, most of the shots shows 2 engines (front and rear) plus 4 carriages. In two of the shots, you can see 5 carriages.

Mr Manchester

Continuity mistake: When Angie kisses Barnabas in the drawing room, there is a small lipstick smudge above his upper lip. In the next shot, the smudge is much larger and it is under his lower lip.

Continuity mistake: As Barnabas approaches Dr. Hoffman, he passes an IV bag full of blood. Quick shot to Hoffman, then back to Barnabas, and he passes the IV bag again.

Plot hole: When Elizabeth is interviewing Victoria for the first time, she mentions that Victoria had sent her an application, therefore her name had to have been on it. However, Maggie Evans didn't change her name to Victoria Winters until she was on the train en route to Collinwood for the interview, therefore Elizabeth would have been expecting Maggie Evans, not Victoria Winters.

More quotes from Dark Shadows

Question: After their mansion burns down, what happens next to the Collins family?

Answer: It's unknown. The original intention was to make Dark Shadows into a film franchise and that question probably would have been answered in the sequel. However, there have been no additional films made.
