Goofs
After Max lights the candle, and things start to happen within the house, a gust of wind blows Dani's hat off. When she puts the hat back on, her hair has been blown around. When the camera cuts to her again, her hair is looks the way it did before she lost her hat.
Crazy Credits
The Walt Disney logo at the start is tinted blue (the one at the end has the usual coloring).
Alternate Versions
When shown on UK television in 2005, all instances of Billy losing his head and stumbling around headless were cut (rendering the credit in the cast to 'Headless Billy' meaningless). Thus, the scene when Billy loses his head and Dani steps out of the protective salt circle to retrieve it for him (giving Winnie the opportunity to grab her) no longer makes sense. It just cuts to a scene of Dani suddenly outside the protective circle and screaming as Winnie swoops down on her from above. Without knowing about Dani retrieving Billy's head the viewer is left puzzled as to why Dani left the circle.
