Pilot - S1-E1

Factual error: There is no way cops would just walk up and open fire on a suspect unannounced, not knowing if he is armed or not, and with an innocent bystander so close.

Revelations - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Piper reveals herself as the killer in the dock, you can see her dropping the mask and shortly after, removing her poncho and drop it on the floor as well. In the next shot from the side of the dock where you can see Piper and Emma face to face, the mask and the poncho are no longer on the floor. (00:32:20 - 00:33:10)

Happy Birthday to Me - S2-E4

Other mistake: In the third scene, where Emma is texting Kieran, the time stamp on the text reads 3:32 PM. She then goes downstairs where her dad is waiting and says she's "late for school." If that timestamp was accurate she'd have missed almost all of school.

Exirium

Happy Birthday to Me - S2-E4

Revealing mistake: When Sheriff Miguel Acosta answers his phone right before he finds the mask in Gustavo's room, he doesn't actually answer the call, and his phone is still in call mode when he raises it to his ear.

Dawn of the Dead - S2-E5

Other mistake: When Deputy Dwayne is talking to Sheriff Miguel Acosta while Acosta pours himself a cup of coffee, he picks up the coffee jug, pours his coffee and puts the coffee jug back far more quickly than is humanly possible.

Dawn of the Dead - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Brooke hugs her dad after putting on the cheerleading outfit, she puts her arms around his neck in the wide shot. But in the close-up shot immediately afterwards, her arms are no longer around his neck.

Let the Right One In - S2-E7

Audio problem: After talking with Kieran near the start of the episode, Emma (off-screen) gets into her car, shuts the door, turns on the engine and starts driving away in 3 seconds flat.

Let the Right One In - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Eli tries to cheer up Emma, the house they arrive at has a sign outside that says "Wren Lake Estates Sales Office." A few minutes later, there's an exterior shot of the house and the sign suddenly says "Wren Lake Estates Model Home." Once the house catches fire, the sign says "Sales Office" again.

THGhost

Halloween Special - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When we first meet Billie and after she says that they "don't give tours of the murder house", some hair hanging down the right side of her face constantly tucks itself behind her right ear and back again between shots.

THGhost

Season 1 generally

Trivia: The producers decided not to use the iconic original "Ghost Face" mask, but instead create a similar-looking-yet-decidedly-different mask in order to help the series stand on its own. This idea was met with some controversy, including from Wes Craven, whom directed the films upon which the series is based. It was eventually revealed that the original "Ghost Face" mask will make a return to the franchise in the third season, which will be a "light reboot" that starts the series in a new direction.
