Plot hole--Ralphie Glick's clothes


So, Ralphie Glick disappears coming home from Mark's house with his brother. He's wearing jeans, a shirt and a yellow windbreaker. Later that night he appears at Danny's window wearing yellow pajamas. When did he change into pajamas?

He changed into pajamas while he was UNDEAD, WO HA HA! No but seriously that is a true, goof I guess is the only way to describe it really, in the series. I don't know how the filmmakers overlooked the fact that it didn't make any possible sense whatsoever, or that much of the viewers would see and question why he was dressed the way he was after he suddenly turns into a vampire. And even more of a bizarre mess up is near the end when Ben and Mark enter Barlow's lair with all his vampire minions, and you can actually see Ralphie Glick laying there by his brother in his original jeans, shirt and jacket; WTF' MAN!

So I apologize for not being able to provide you with a suitable explanation for this issue because I just simply don't get it either.

Not quite a plot-hole, but I agree: a definite goof.

Don't all the characters that become vampires complain of having dreams all night maybe it was a dream sequence? But yeah most probably just a goof.

reply

Yes, it is just a goof. Hey, they happen in movies!

It's not a plot hole it's a continuity error.


It's all a deep end.

Yes, people misuse the term plot hole all the time on these boards. It can be very frustrating

His "maker" probably thought he would seem more normal to a potential victim.
