== Bloopers and continuity errors ==
* In Act I, after she lights the candle, Madame Findley says, "Someone lived in this house...and someone died here." It seems the line was more likely "Someone lived in this room."
* When Madame Findley walks with the candle over to the desk and chair in Quentin's room, a stage light can be seen at the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.
* When Madame Findley is on the antique telephone, there is a clunking noise off-stage. After she hangs up the phone and approaches the cradle, there is a loud squeaking noise from off-stage.
* When Madame Findley goes over to the ringing phone and says, "I won't answer you this time," the microphone does not fully pick up her line.
* Joan Bennett flubs to Julia, "I cannot imagine where she...what could have happened."
* When Joe knocks on Chris' door, the edge of the hallway set can be seen on the left.
* A boom microphone shadow can be seen on Chris' face as he pleads with Julia to give him some pills.
* Early in the episode, Chris worries that the moon will be full tomorrow night. When he goes to Julia for sleeping pills--which is the same night--he insists that he needs them for this night.
* In the previous episode, Janet Findley trips over a wire when she first enters Quentin's room. In this episode, the scene is replayed in the opening sequence, but she doesn't trip this time.
* When Madame Findley (Alex Stevens) falls down the stairs, the banister shakes violently.
