Corrected entry: If an entire floor of students were murdered by a deranged teacher (in Stanley Hall), no amount of money could buy off each and every one of the families. It would only take one to kick up a huge fuss, go to the press and generally cause havoc for the university. It definitely wouldn't be swept under the carpet and forgotten about.

Corrected entry: Reese was only walking away for a few seconds before the killer cuts the Dean's heels, at which he screams loudly. How did Reese, who couldn't have been more than 10 feet away, not hear this?
Correction: If you listen closely you can hear a door shut. Since they are in a parking garage it's likely that Reese went through the door to get back inside the building. And since we are talking about the Dean of school it's a safe bet that his parking spot is one of the ones next to the door.

Corrected entry: Sasha says Michelle was listening to her show when she died, but Michelle is actually listening to a tape when she's killed. Unless Brenda stopped to take the tape out (unlikely), this would still have been in when the car was found.
Correction: This isn't an actual mistake: Sasha was repeating some gossip that she heard, and has no bearing on the film itself.

Corrected entry: How exactly was Brenda going to frame Professor Wexler for the murders? Unless she somehow managed to convince the police that he committed suicide by cutting himself open with an axe then stuffed himself into Paul's trunk, it seems fairly unlikely.
Correction: She probably was going to make out that he fled the campus when he realised he was going to get caught, and would dump the body somewhere he would not be found.

Corrected entry: When Sasha is running away from the killer she falls to the bottom of the stairs, leaving her in the lobby. We later see Natalie run in through an entrance in the lobby, so why didn't Sasha run out this way instead of going into the lift and back upstairs into the building?
Correction: She didn't run out that front door for the same reason why people always seem to run upstairs. They are scared and not thinking straight. Not a mistake, she is just dumb or scared.

Corrected entry: Why did Brenda kill Michelle straight away, the one who killed her boyfriend, while she mentally and physically tortures Natalie, who was just a passenger in the car?
Correction: Maybe in her convoluted mind, she blamed Natalie more. Or she could have had easier access to Brenda to kill her. Or she figured it would be fun to torture someone who she had managed to befriend and then therefore, she wouldn't be a suspect. This type of logic isn't a mistake.
Easier access to Natalie? She was in the car with Michelle alone. And she could have just as easily befriended Michelle instead. Her mind was so convoluted she couldn't comprehend who was actually responsible for her boyfriends death but could come up with an elaborate plan to befriend a girl just to kill her friends to mentally torture her? Right.

Correction: Since the movie is told as an urban legend, it is up in the air if the Stanley Hall Massacre actually happened or not.
