MISTAKES/GOOFS

CREW: Just after shooting at Mordechai with Ed and Harry filming behind them, Sam and Dean walk off looking around for the spirit. While the camera focuses on Ed and Harry talking about their video footage, someone's shoulder comes on screen from the right. Sam had headed left off-screen and Dean went through a door on-screen, so it could only be a film crew member.
CONT: When Dean and Sam are in the basement, Dean picks up a jar and dares Sam to drink it. The jar Dean picks up is the same one the teenage girl broke before she was killed in a previous scene.
CONT: Both the caption and the characters claim the brothers are driving on Interstate 35. The little two-lane road is clearly not an interstate, and a sign in the background shows "22 Highway - East".
CONT: When the second girl dies in the Hell house, you can see her body being taken to the ambulance from a close-up shot and another from a farther away shot. However, the close-up shot in seen after you already have seen her body put in the ambulance from the shot that was taken farther away. Essentially, this means there were two bodies but only one death.
CHAR: When Sam and Dean go to talk about why they can't kill Mordechai, they go to a small diner. When they get their order, the guy behind the counter says, "Here you go Jensen." But they put it in the show, so he should have said "Dean".
