In the credits for this film there are 2 things that are close but not quite worded right.

First is a "wardrobe mistress" credit. I think it sounds like "Costume Designer", but not sure if might mean something else.

Second is a "rerecordist". Not in the sound section (there is no sound section, the credits have no ryhme or reason) but sounds a lot like "re-recording mixer".

Think either of these should get credits?

I would say no on the "wardrobe mistress". That sounds more like the hat-check girl than a Designer.

Pull up your trusty link to the contribution rules, you will find the Sound Re-recordist = SRRM, but I am guessing that the word Sound is not included in the screen credit. I would probably leave it out if that is the case. It could be a candidate for "other".

As to Wardrobe Mistress, that does not match. I've seen mistress and masters, (sometimes together) but have no idea what they do.

A wardrobe mistress is responsible for the costumes during filming, including repairs etc.
It's possible they had something to do with the design as well, but it's not a given, so I'd say no credit.

There's a good chance your "re-recordist" is a re-recording mixer, but without knowing the context of the credit I couldn't say for sure, so I'd leave it out without more info. One thing you could do is check on the guy and see what else he's been credited in. If they're all 100% sound credits I think it's safe to add this one too.

Edit: after posting this I just realised I have this film! So I checked and yes, I think Bill Varney should get a sound re-recording mixer credit. Although there's no specific sound section, he's in among the other post-production credits (including sound effects), and that's a good tell there.
As an aside, did you give Richard Albain, Jr. a Visual FX credit? He's listed simply as "special effects" and the crew table isn't clear (there's a surprise!).

I didn't give a visual effects credit, although I made a note of it and need to re-read the rules about that. Not sure if Special Effects is the same as Visual Effects. My gut says they aren't since many newer films have both. Then again, this movie is way before digital and the SFX may qualify as VFX. Maybe a poll is in order (or already out there, although I don't recall seeing it).  If it's been put in the rules or voted on I'll find it (and any links would help that happen quicker ).

I'll wait a couple days to see what others may feel about Varney.

I understand it the same way tweeter does.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Thank you much for saving me the look-up.
Kinda broad strokes we paint with isn't it? Seems like that should break down to catergories in the future, but I'll go with it for now and give an FX credit. I think I need to go back to a couple other profiles i updated and skipped all these roles on too.
