The House - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: After she leaves the sanitarium, Elaine's long blonde hair is blowing wildly in the wind as she drives. In the next shot, with no time for her to have combed it, her hair is neatly coiffed again. (00:10:00)

Quoth the Raven - S2-E37

Factual error: While Edgar Allan Poe is penning his famous poem, a close-up of the paper shows us that he's misspelled his own middle name as "Allen." (00:00:50)

Whisper - S3-E14

Audio problem: In the woods, we hear the continuing sound effect of howling wind. But not a leaf is moving on the trees, and Irene and Charlie's clothes and hair aren't even ruffled. (00:23:00)

She'll Be Company for You - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: Henry smashes a wooden rolling pin on the kitchen table, leaving splinters all over it. He then crosses to the cupboards, finds a knife and returns, at which point all the broken pieces of the rolling pin have disappeared. (00:21:15)

The House - S1-E9

Visible crew/equipment: When the Chrysler 300 convertible pulls up in front of the haunted house, the camera crew and several light panels are reflected in the car's door and side. (00:03:00)

House - with Ghost - S2-E26

Factual error: Ellis trots up the stairs with his wife's dinner, shaking and bouncing the tray all the way. But when he arrives, the liquid in the tray's very full glass of milk hasn't spilled a single drop. (00:14:30)

The Messiah on Mott Street - S2-E38

Plot hole: No one in Goldman's house finds it at all strange that a mailman arrives at the door with a letter after midnight on Christmas Eve. Nor, a short time later, does the doctor or anyone else passing by at this very odd hour wonder why the same mailman is collecting mail from a street box at dawn on Christmas Day.

They're Tearing Down Tim Riley's Bar - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: When William Windom comes into his office, we see a stone wall in the background, with a wall clock, a painting and a credenza, but when Bert Convy comes in through the same door later, the background is completely different. And again, when William Windom leaves his office after he's been fired, the background has changed again. (00:03:30 - 00:07:10)

Rod Serling: For those of you who've never met me, you might call me the under-nourished Alfred Hitchcock.

Camera Obscura - S2-E36

Trivia: The closing scenes were shot through green-gold filters to give the streets a drab, hellish appearance. An appalled film lab technician tried to dye the sequence pink, and defied the director's order to "leave it green." NBC, the lab tech argued, would never accept those scenes because this was supposed to be color television. After demanding several re-dos, the director won the shouting match, the green prevailed, and NBC, apparently, never noticed.
