Goofs[]

  • Coloring/continuity error: When Mikey asks T.J. where the lockers went, Gretchen's sleeves turn blue.
  • Animation/continuity error: When T.J. walks towards the dark stairway that leads to the hidden room, his legs disappear for a few frames.
  • Animation/continuity error: After Gretchen tells the others that she had read the books, one of her pigtail's pops-up from the back of her shoulders to front. This happens in plain sight while she is saying "after math before bed".
  • Animation/continuity error: While Gretchen is opening the door to the hidden room, there are no spider webs. When the door is seen from the inside, there is a spider web hanging from the door frame. The spider web also disappears while the perspective shows Mikey and Gus but reappears afterwards.
  • Continuity/coloring error: When the gang is looking for the hidden room, both Vince and T.J. are wearing a single white glove. Vince's glove disappears while he screams "a velociraptor!". His glove reappears afterwards. This could be a coloring error instead.
