There's no reports of the plaster of Paris skeleton falling and hitting a studio exec, or of boys shooting at the inflatable skeleton with their slingshots. There were reports of people throwing their popcorn boxes at it as it flew over their heads.


* A bit meta, but there was some comedy with the [[SpecialEffectsFailure skeleton prop]] Castle used with the movie. The first one was made from plaster of Paris. Nice and sturdy right up to the point it slipped from the strings and dropped to hit a studio exec right in the head. The next one was inflatable, and proved an irresistible target for hordes of young boys with slingshots in theaters across America as it sailed overhead. That poor skeleton just couldn't win.

Kill Em All was renamed Everybody Dies Ending due to misuse. Dewicking


* And there's [[TheAlcoholic Pritchard]]. He's unintentionally comical with his drunken antics and constant maundering about the ghosts coming to [[KillEmAll get everyone]]; but why the heck did Price's character [[TooDumbToLive give that rum-soaked lunatic a loaded gun?]]

** There's nothing in the film to suggest that any guns are loaded aside from Loren telling people they are. He does tell Nora he put blanks in her gun, but he's probably smarter than to risk anyone else accidentally shooting him or Nora picking up someone else's gun.

* One of the female guests is apparently killed by a skeleton ''pushing her into a pool of acid.'' It's not even that DEEP and it doesn't hold her under, it just literally PUSHES HER IN.

* The film is almost as much a comedy as a horror movie, but of special note is the scene where Nora explores a room in the basement and looks up to find the elderly mute female housekeeper standing there making like a witch from an ''AbbottAndCostello'' movie. And then [[Podcast/RiffTrax roller-blading out of the room]].

It was a pool of /acid/, not water.
