Salem's Lot (1979)

Visible crew/equipment: After speaking to Straker at his antique store we see Constable Gillespie on the phone back at the police station. Just after Gillespie says " the boy is missing" you can see the shadow of some equipment moving on the wall at the upper left part of the screen (probably the boom microphone). (01:14:04)

Trivia: The scenes where the child vampires float around outside or float into the bedrooms of their victims were partly filmed in reverse to make them seem more "unnatural."

Revealing mistake: At the end of the movie, when Ben stakes vampire Susan in the heart, she throws her head back in pain and you can see her real teeth behind the fake vampire teeth.
