9 Baffling Horror Movie Mistakes You Never Noticed

6. Who Owns Those Hands? - Scream

Scream centres around a highschooler called Sidney who's been stalked by a serial killer called Ghostface. This masked maniac has made things very personal for Sidney after slaughtering her friends and loved ones, including her mother.

When she comes face-to-face with her tormenter at the end, the killer reveals he (or she) intends to murder Sidney and frame her father for Ghostface's reign of terror.

After a vicious battle, Sidney and her friends kill Ghostface, putting an end to the slaughter (at least until the sequels). Just as the survivors breathe a collective sigh of relief, they hear someone crash into the room. As they turn towards the noise, they see it's Sidney's father, who had burst out of a closet, where the killer had kept him imprisoned.

But if you look at the closet, you can see a pair of hands poking out, proving a crew member shoved the actor into the hallway. What makes this mistake so silly is that the crew member was pointless. Why did the actor need someone to shove him into the hall? Why couldn't he just jump out himself?
